01-26-19 | Utah State v. New Mexico +7 | 68-66 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
This is a play on the NEW MEXICO LOBOS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. New Mexico is 2-1 at home within the conference and while an 11-point loss against UNLV may look bad, it came three days after a 27-point win over Nevada as a 15-point home underdog. The Lobos are home dogs again and this time coming off a loss which happened to be another one against the Rebels. New Mexico has covered two of three games this season as a home underdog. Utah St. has won three straight games to improve to 4-2 in the MVC and while it does include a pair of road wins, those were against San Jose St. and Wyoming which are a combined 8-29 on the season. The win at home came against 7-12 Colorado St. so by no means is the recent winning streak impressive. Utah St. is 0-9 ATS in its last nine road games after scoring 85 points or more. 9* (660) New Mexico Lobos |

01-26-19 | Washington v. Oregon State -2 | Top | 79-69 | Loss | -112 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the OREGON ST. BEAVERS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. We played against Washington on Thursday as it dominated the first half against Oregon and held on for a five-point win. The Huskies are now a perfect 6-0 straight up and against the number in the Pac 12 and they are catching roughly the same number here as they were against Oregon which makes this intriguing considering the Beavers are ranked much lower in the power rankings than the Ducks. Oregon St. is coming off a 13-point win over Washington St. on Thursday and while that is not saying much, it does own impressive home wins over USC and UCLA and overall, the Beavers are 8-1 at home on the season. Oregon St. is 11-3 this season when favored and it has covered three of four home games against teams with a winning record and the Beavers have covered their last four games at home. 10* (670) Oregon St. Beavers |

01-25-19 | Butler v. Creighton -2.5 | Top | 61-75 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Creighton is 11-8 overall and 2-4 in the Big East while having played the nation's ninth-toughest schedule, having already played 12 teams that won 21 games or more a year ago. The Bluejays are one of the best shooting teams in the country as they are second nationally in three-point percentage (.431), third in total three-pointers (231), third in three-pointers made per game (12.2) and fifth in field goal percentage (.505). While this might be considered a letdown for Creighton considering it is coming off a win at Georgetown as an underdog, the Bluejays are in full revenge mode here from a loss at Butler by 15 points just 20 days ago. Creighton is 11-2 ATS in its last 13 home games after allowing 80 points or more. The Bulldogs are coming off a loss against Villanova and they hit the road where they are just 1-4 with the lone victory coming against DePaul. Butler is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 road games against teams shooting 48 percent or better while going 2-12 ATS in its last 14 road games after playing a home game. 10* (858) Creighton Bluejays |

01-24-19 | Washington v. Oregon -2.5 | Top | 61-56 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 58 m | Show |
This is a play on the OREGON DUCKS as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Washington is off to a perfect 5-0 start in the Pac 12 and it has covered all of those games as well. Four of the five victories have come by double-digits including one of two conference games played on the road. While the Huskies start in conference play is impressive, it has also come against some of the weaker teams in the Pac 12 as none of five wins have come against teams ranked in the top 99 of the latest NCAA Net Rankings. Going back, the Huskies are 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games against teams with a winning percentage above .600 while going 3-12 ATS in their last 15 road games after two straight wins by 15 points or more. Oregon upset Arizona on the road last Thursday but letdown the next game as it lost at Arizona St. two days later by 14 points. Overall, it has been a disappointing season for the Ducks but this is a chance for another quality win. Oregon is 20-9 ATS in its last 29 games against teams outscoring their opponents by four or more ppg in the second half of the season while going 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games following a loss. 10* (654) Oregon Ducks |

01-24-19 | Western Kentucky v. Southern Miss +1.5 | 66-63 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 0 m | Show | |
This is a play on the SOUTHERN MISS GOLDEN EAGLES as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Southern Miss is coming off its toughest stretch of its schedule as eight of its last 10 games have come away from home resulting in six losses. The Golden Eagles are 3-4 in C-USA with both home games turning into wins against Middle Tennessee St. and UAB and they are 6-1 at home on the season. They are coming off a loss at Old Dominion as Southern Miss led 22-15 at the nine-minute mark of the first half, but four straight three-pointers from allowed Old Dominion to retake the lead and closed the first half on a 25-7 run. The Golden Eagles are 28-14 ATS in their last 42 home games after a loss by 15 points or more while going 18-7 ATS in their last 25 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. The Hilltoppers are coming off a three-game homestand where they went 2-1 including wins in the final two games against Marshall and Florida Atlantic. The road has not been kind as Western Kentucky is just 2-6 and going back, it is 17-32 ATS in its last 49 games as a road favorite of three points or less or as a pickem. 9* (636) Southern Miss Golden Eagles |

01-24-19 | Charlotte v. Texas-San Antonio -7.5 | 43-88 | Win | 100 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a play on the UTSA ROADRUNNERS as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. We played on Charlotte on Monday and after building a 10-point lead at halftime, the 49ers eventually fell behind by 15 points but were still able to come back and sneak in under the number. That was their third straight home game and now they hit the road where they are 1-7 including 1-4 in true road games. As mentioned Monday, their defense has steadily improved but their five-guard lineup could struggle here against one of the best backcourt duos in Jhivvan Jackson and Keaton Wallace, who average combined 39.8 ppg. Charlotte 3-11 ATS in its last 14 road games after a game where they covered the spread while going 1-6 ATS in its last seven road games following three or more consecutive home games. UTSA is 4-2 in the conference with both losses coming last week on the road but it heads back home where it is riding a six-game home winning streak. The Roadrunners have been solid when laying points as they are 4-1 ATS as favorites and included in the six-game winning streak is a five-game ATS unbeaten streak on their home floor. 9* (644) UTSA Roadrunners |

01-23-19 | Texas v. TCU -1.5 | 61-65 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
This is a play on the TCU HORNED FROGS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Texas snapped a three-game losing streak on Saturday as it defeated Oklahoma by three points and now it hits the road where it has played just three road games, going 1-2. The Longhorns are struggling to defend the three-point line, ranking ninth in the Big 12 in opposing three-point percentage and in the last four games, Texas has allowed opponents to shoot 42.9 percent from beyond the arc. This is not a good trend considering the Horned Frogs are shooting 39.5 percent from long range over their last five games. The Longhorns are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. TCU has lost three of its last four games to fall to 2-3 in the conference but those three losses came on the road. The Horned Frogs are 8-1 at home and going back, TCU is 6-0 ATS in its last six home games after one or more consecutive losses. 9* (794) TCU Horned Frogs |

01-23-19 | Tennessee v. Vanderbilt +9 | 88-83 | Win | 100 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a play on the VANDERBILT COMMODORES as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Tennessee has taken over the No. 1 spot in the country for just the second time in program history and playing its first game on the road against a hungry opponent is not the ideal situation. The Volunteers spent one week at No. 1 in February 2008 but a loss followed against Vanderbilt. We expect some complacency here with Tennessee as teams not used to this stature tend to celebrate a little too long. The Volunteers have won 12 straight games while Vanderbilt has dropped five straight games and this is adding to the value. The Commodores are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a double-digit loss at home. Here, we play on underdogs of 10 or more points in the second half of the season that are averaging between 74 and 78 ppg going up against a team allowing between 63 and 67, after a loss by 15 points or more. This situation is 39-14 ATS (73.6 percent) since 1997. 9* (804) Vanderbilt Commodores |

01-23-19 | Georgia +11 v. LSU | Top | 82-92 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the GEORGIA BULLDOGS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Georgia has lost three straight games to fall to 1-4 in the SEC but the schedule has been a brutal one. The Bulldogs four losses came against Tennessee, Auburn, Kentucky and Florida and while this is another tough foe, the linemakers have taken that into consideration. They were on a 7-1 ATS run and going back, the Bulldogs are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games following a double-digit loss at home. LSU has started conference play 4-0 but only one of those was a quality win and now it is laying its biggest number in SEC play. The Tigers are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Here, we play on road teams as an underdog or pickem with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 coming off three straight losses against conference rivals, playing a winning team. This situation is 61-26 ATS (70.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (805) Georgia Bulldogs |

01-22-19 | Ole Miss v. Alabama | Top | 53-74 | Win | 100 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
This is a play on the ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE as part of our CBB Tuesday Triple Play. The Rebels have won 11 of its last 12 games and has beaten solid conference opponents Mississippi St. and Auburn along the way. The Rebels are coming off a dominating win over Arkansas on Saturday which made up for that lone loss with came against LSU by 14 points. The Crimson Tide have gone 2-3 in the SEC, including a buzzer-beater loss at the hands of Texas A&M and a road loss to Tennessee this past Saturday by three points. Alabama is 6-2 at home with the two losses coming by a combined four points and included in the wins are victories against Kentucky and Arizona. Alabama is currently tied with LSU and Mississippi St. in the SEC for most total wins against Quadrant 1 and Quadrant 2 opponents with seven. Overall, the Crimson Tide are 7-3, and undefeated against Q2 teams. The Alabama winning percentage is also tied for second-best behind Tennessee, who leads with .857 so this team is underrated right now. the Crimson Tide are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight home games against teams with a winning road record. 10* (638) Alabama Crimson Tide |

01-22-19 | Clemson v. Florida State -5.5 | 68-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a play on the FLORIDA ST. SEMINOLES as part of our CBB Tuesday Triple Play. Clemson snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over Georgia Tech last Wednesday and has been off since then. That moved the Tigers to 1-3 in the conference and while those three wins have been against elite opposition, they have yet to defeat anyone of note the entire season as Clemson is 0-6 against the top 50. Its best win of the season came against No. 91 ranked South Carolina. The Tigers are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600 and they head to Tallahassee at the wrong time. Florida St. has dropped three straight games that opened with a two-point loss against Duke at home but the last two losses were inexcusable, coming at Pittsburgh and Boston College. This is a quick turnaround for the Seminoles which played Sunday and had their flight delayed foe six hours out of Boston but that is not a bad thing here considering what is at stake. Florida St. has won 39 of its last 42 games at home and will look to up its home record to 9-1 this season. 9* (618) Florida St. Seminoles |

01-22-19 | Texas Tech +1 v. Kansas State | 45-58 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
This is a play on the TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS as part of our CBB Tuesday Triple Play. Here we have two teams with identical 4-2 Big XII records and both have been put together in opposite ways. Texas Tech opened the season 4-0 in the conference but have since lost consecutive games for the first time this season. The Red Raiders fell at home to Iowa St. and then put up a bad second half on Saturday in an 11-point loss. Texas Tech's defense continues to lead nation by limiting opponents to 34.9 percent shooting, while it is second by holding opponents to 55.8 ppg and to 26.2 percent shooting on three-pointers. Kansas St. dropped its first two conference games but has won four straight since then, the last two coming by double-digits. The Wildcats have a very inconsistent offense as it is averaging only 65.6 ppg on 42.6 percent shooting including 31.4 percent from long range. This is the second meeting this season and Texas Tech held the wildcats to 33.3 percent shooting including 4-23 from behind the arc. Granted, Dean Wade did not play for Kansas St. so his return helps but the Wildcats are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games. 9* (619) Texas Tech Red Raiders |

01-21-19 | Old Dominion v. Charlotte +7.5 | Top | 76-70 | Win | 100 | 5 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHARLOTTE 49ERS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. We played on Charlotte back on 12/18 against East Carolina with a big factor being the improved defense under new head coach Ron Sanchez who brought in the same system as Virginia where was an assistant coach. While it has taken some time, that unit is starting to gel and the 49ers are coming off their best defensive game of the season as they held Louisiana Tech to 40 points on 27.8 percent shooting. The 49ers are 5-0 ATS in their last five games against teams with a winning straight up record. Old Dominion defeated Southern Miss by 18 points which was its third straight win while snapping a three-game ATS losing skid. The Monarchs are 3-2 on the road but have failed to cover their last two, losing outright at Florida Atlantic as a favorite of seven points and defeating Florida International by just one point. The Monarchs are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games against teams with a losing home record. Here, e play on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage between .200 and .400 off a double digit win as a underdog of six or more, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 47-17 ATS (73.4 percent) since 1997. 10* (852) Charlotte 49ers |

01-20-19 | Missouri State +3.5 v. Drake | Top | 63-74 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 6 m | Show |
This is a play on the MISSOURI ST. BEARS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Missouri St. is coming off a home loss on Wednesday against Evansville as it shot just 39.7 percent from the floor including going only 3-16 (18.8 percent) from long range. That stopped some positive momentum as the Bears has won their previous two games, both on the road, against Indiana St. and Bradley. They have been favored in the last six meetings against Drake but are now catching points. The Bulldogs won at Bradley by 17 points on Wednesday as four-point underdogs but they are just 2-3 in the conference. They suffered a huge loss earlier this month with graduate transfer point guard Nick Norton going down for the season with a knee injury. He was their leading scorer with 15.5 ppg at the time while also leading the team in assists. 10* (825) Missouri St. Bears |

01-19-19 | Oklahoma v. Texas -4 | 72-75 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a play on the TEXAS LONGHORNS as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. While this is a bigger rivalry on the football field, there is bad blood between these two teams on the basketball court as well and Texas is out for some payback after a recent poor stretch. The Longhorns have dropped three straight games including a pair against the top two teams in the Big XII in their last two. We won with Texas against Kansas on Monday as it lost by a bucket despite dominating the boards and committing just five turnovers. Going to the free throw line only seven times shows the home floor edge the Jayhawks had. Oklahoma came into the week ranked but is long gone following a 13-point home loss against Kansas St. The Sooners do possess a winning record on the road but two of those wins came against UTSA and Texas Rio Grande Valley. They are 2-15 ATS in their last 15 games following a double-digit loss as a favorite and they head to Texas at the wrong time. 9* (750) Texas Longhorns |

01-19-19 | St. John's v. Butler -4.5 | 71-80 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
This is a play on the BUTLER BULLDOGS as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. Butler is back home following three straight road games and it bounced back in the third one in a big win over Creighton following a pair of one-point losses at Seton Hall and Xavier. The Bulldogs are 8-1 at home this season with the lone loss coming against Georgetown by eight points in a game they were outscored by 11 points from the free throw line. They are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games against teams with a winning road record while going 11-3 ATS in their last 14 home games after one or more consecutive wins. St. John's is also coming off a win following a pair of losses to improve its record to 15-3 on the season which is one-win shy of its total victories from all of last season. It has certainly been a solid start for the Storm but they have played the No. 173 ranked schedule compared to Butler which has played the second toughest slat in the Big East at No. 26. 9* (692) Butler Bulldogs |
|||||||
01-19-19 | Northern Iowa v. Valparaiso -4 | Top | 66-75 | Win | 100 | 6 h 0 m | Show |
This is a play on the VALPARAISO CRUSADERS as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. Valparaiso did not have a good transition from the Horizon League to the MVC as it finished in last place in its inaugural season. Things are on the way up however as the Crusaders are off to a 4-1 start in conference action and they look to bounce back following a loss at Loyola-Chicago by 17 points on Tuesday. That snapped a five-game winning streak and heading back home following two straight road games puts them in a great spot. Northern Iowa used to dominate the MVC but it finished send to late place last season and not much is expected this year either. The Panthers are coming off a pair of wins against Drake and Indiana St. but those were at home where they possess bad losses against Grand Canyon and Stony Brook. Northern Iowa is 1-4 on the road and going back, it is 5-15-1 ATS in its last 21 road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (682) Valparaiso Crusaders |

01-18-19 | Maryland v. Ohio State -2.5 | Top | 75-61 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the OHIO ST. BUCKEYES for our CBB Friday Enforcer. The Buckeyes have lost three consecutive games for the first time under second-year coach Chris Holtmann with the last two coming on the road. Ohio St. is 8-2 at home with the two losses being quality ones against Syracuse and Michigan St. and the goal tonight is to clean up the mistakes as it turned the ball over 34 times the past two games, including a season-high 21 vs. Iowa. Another key struggle area for Ohio St. has been the foul trouble of its top scorer, sophomore forward Kaleb Wesson so keeping him on the floor is huge. Ohio St. is 15-5 ATS in its last 20 home games after failing to cover four of its last five games. Maryland is a team trending very much in the opposite direction as after a tough loss to Seton Hall at the end of December, the Terrapins have rattled off six straight wins to work their way into the Top 25. They have had only two road games over this stretch and now comes their biggest test. Despite being ranked, we like the fact Maryland is the underdog here and Ohio St. gets the much needed victory to turn its season around. 10* (852) Ohio St. Buckeyes |

01-17-19 | Oregon State v. Arizona State -4 | 67-70 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a play on the ARIZONA ST. SUN DEVILS as part of our CBB Thursday Triple Play. The biggest early surprise in the PAC 12 is Oregon St. which is off to a 3-0 start which includes wins over USC and UCLA at home last week. The Beavers are up to 11 wins on the season which is just five fewer than all of last season and they are one of the remaining three teams undefeated in conference play along with Arizona and Washington. This is their best conference start since 1992-93 but going back, Oregon St. is 5-19 ATS in its last 24 games after four or more consecutive wins. Arizona St. got some momentum going with a pair of double-digit wins over Colorado and California but fell to Stanford by 14 points on Saturday. It returns home where it is 7-2 on the season including a win over then No.1 Kansas. The Sun Devils are 7-0 ATS in their last seven home games after allowing 85 points or more. 9* (652) Arizona St. Sun Devils |

01-17-19 | Michigan State v. Nebraska +2.5 | 70-64 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
This is a play on the NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS as part of our CBB Thursday Triple Play. Michigan St. has gotten off to a 6-0 start in the Big Ten as it has now won 10 straight games while covering their last six. The Spartans are 3-0 on the road within the conference but this is their biggest test from an unlikely candidate. Michigan St. is 0-7 ATS in its last seven road games in the second half of the season against teams outscoring opponents by eight or more ppg. Nebraska has shook off a 1-3 start in the Big Ten with a pair of wins including a 15-point win at Indiana on Sunday. The Huskers are a perfect 9-0 at home including impressive wins over Creighton and Seton Hall by double-digits and going back, they are 8-1 ATS in their last nine home games against teams with a winning road record. Additionally, Nebraska is 6-0 ATS in its last six games against teams averaging 84 or more ppg. 9* (634) Nebraska Cornhuskers |

01-17-19 | UTEP v. UAB -7.5 | Top | 63-76 | Win | 100 | 11 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the UAB BLAZERS as part of our CBB Thursday Triple Play. UAB opened the conference season with a pair of wins over Florida Atlantic and Florida International but lost both games last week on the road to fall to 2-2 in C-USA. The Blazers are back home where they are 8-1 with the lone defeat coming against Troy by just one-point. They are extremely balanced with seven players averaging between 6.6 and 12.4 ppg and going back, the Blazers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up loss. UTEP snapped a three-game losing streak with an unimpressive one-point win over Rice on Saturday, considered by most as the worst team in the conference. That was the third straight home game for the Miners where they are 6-4 but they hit the road after dropping their first five games by an average of close to 18 ppg. The Miners are 0-5 ATS in their last five road games following three or more consecutive home games. 10* (636) UAB Blazers |

01-16-19 | Boston College +11.5 v. Louisville | Top | 70-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON COLLEGE EAGLES for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Louisville is coming off a monumental upset as it went to Chapel Hill and beat North Carolina by 21 points as an 11-point underdog. It was even more shocking considering its previous game resulted in a loss against Pittsburgh, a team that did not win a single conference game last season. The Cardinals are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games following a straight up win. Boston College has opened 0-3 in the ACC but two of those games came against Virginia and Virginia Tech, two top ten teams, while the other came at Notre Dame, which is a difficult venue, by just three points. The Eagles have covered all five games away from home this season and they are 6-0 ATS in their last six games after having lost four of their last five games. Here, we play on road underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points off a road cover where the team lost straight up as an underdog going up against an opponent off an upset win as a road underdog. This situation is 73-36 ATS (67 percent) since 1997. 10* (797) Boston College Eagles |

01-14-19 | Texas +7.5 v. Kansas | Top | 78-80 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS LONGHORNS for our CBB Monday Star Attraction. We played on Kansas last Wednesday as it defeated TCU but the matchup is more difficult tonight and the Jayhawks are laying a bucket more. They are coming off a win over Baylor on Saturday as they were outrebounded 44-26 with a lot of that due to the season-ending injury to junior center Udoka Azubuike. With Azubuike out, the Jayhawks lack mismatches the 7-footer created and they have trouble attacking teams from three-point range. While sitting at 14-2, six wins have been decided by six points or less, including two in overtime. Texas lost to eighth-ranked Texas Tech on Saturday, and there is no shame in that. But there is no winning in that, either. Playing well for a half or so will only get you a losing record in this conference. This roster is talented enough to compete with anyone but the Longhorns have underachieved at times, including losses to Radford and VCU. Guards Kerwin Roach (13.6 ppg), Matt Coleman (10.1) and Elijah Mitrou-Long (7.5) and forwards Jaxson Hayes (10.1) and Dylan Osetkowski (9.5) provide balanced scoring for Texas. Kansas is 2-12 ATS in its last 14 games of a conference road win. 10* (873) Texas Longhorns |

01-12-19 | St. Mary's v. Loyola Marymount +6.5 | Top | 71-60 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOYOLA-MARYMOUNT LIONS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. When it comes to teams from smaller conferences, lines are sometimes based on names since bettors do not follow these teams very closely and that is the case here. St. Mary's is off to a 10-7 start and those seven losses are already more than they have had in each of the last three seasons. The slow start should not be a big surprise as the Gaels lost three starters from last season as well as five of their top seven scorers yet they are still a public favorite. Loyola-Marymount has not been prominent in a long time but this could be a special season with all five starters back. The Lions opened 5-0 for the first time since 2003 which included wins over Georgetown and UNLV and those came without Eli Scott who is starting to get back into form. They are 8-0 at home and going back are 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games against teams with a losing road record. Meanwhile, the Gaels are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (760) Loyola-Marymount Lions |

01-12-19 | Nevada -3.5 v. Fresno State | 74-64 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a play on the NEVADA WOLF PACK as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. While we are going against the public on Tennessee, we are on the consensus side here as Nevada has something to prove. The Wolf Pack suffered an embarrassing loss at New Mexico by 27 points as a 15-point road favorite and they took their frustrations out on a horrible San Jose St. team in a 39-point win on Wednesday. Now they will be out to show they can beat a quality opponent on the road which goes a long way come NCAA Tournament time. Fresno St. is off to a great start at 12-3 but it has defeated no quality team along the way. Its best win is against Utah St. which was its last game on the road and playing the No. 250 ranked schedule in the nation can confirm that the record on the season is skewed. Here, we play against underdogs with a winning percentage of .800 or better off a win over a conference rival as an underdog of six points or more, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 31-9 ATS (77.5 percent) since 1997. 9* (739) Nevada Wolf Pack |

01-12-19 | Tennessee v. Florida +3 | 78-67 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 53 m | Show | |
This is a play on the FLORIDA GATORS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. Tennessee has been in cruise control most of this season as it is currently ranked No. 3 in the country with a 13-1 record. The only loss came against Kansas in overtime and the Volunteers posses an impressive win over Gonzaga which took place in Phoenix. They have won their last six games by double-digits and because they are laying a short number here, the public is all over them. It has been an up and down season for Florida as it is 9-5 with all of those losses being quality ones for what it is worth. The Gators have played the toughest schedule of any team in the SEC and are coming off a confidence building win at Arkansas following an upset home loss in their conference opener against South Carolina. Here, we play on home teams that are allowing 39 percent shooting or better on the season going up against an opponent that has gone three straight games of shooting 47 percent or better. This situation is 83-44 ATS (65.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (712) Florida Gators |

01-11-19 | Indiana +6 v. Maryland | Top | 75-78 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA HOOSIERS for our CBB Friday Star Attraction. The Hoosiers are coming off its first conference loss of the season as they were defeated in Michigan by 11 points on Sunday. Indiana is just 1-3 on the road but two of those losses came against the top two teams in the country while the third came by just one point at Arkansas. On Thursday, Hoosiers head coach Archie Miller said the team is hopeful it will have De'Ron Davis available in College Park and that will be a huge boost against the Maryland size advantage. The Hoosiers are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss. The Terrapins have won five straight games including a pair on the road in their last two to improve to 4-1 in the Big Ten. They do have a rebounding advantage but that it is as they are on the wrong side of effective offense and defense on both sides of the floor. Maryland does not force many turnovers and can be turnover prone because of its youth and decision making, so a performance similar to what the Hoosiers produced in Ann Arbor (season low 11.9 turnover percentage) is a clear key. The Terrapins are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 home games. 10* (801) Indiana Hoosiers |

01-10-19 | SMU v. Connecticut -2.5 | Top | 64-76 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the CONNECTICUT HUSKIES for our CBB Thursday Supreme Annihilator. As is the case almost every year, SMU has played a very weak schedule is it is ranked No. 342 in the nation. The Mustangs have opened AAC action with a pair of wins over East Carolina and Tulane but those are the two worst teams in the conference. This is just the third true road game for SMU and the biggest test to date on the highway. The Mustangs are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games against teams with a winning straight up record. The Huskies have opened their conference schedule with a pair of losses at South Florida and at home against Central Florida, arguably the top team in the AAC. Connecticut has faced six teams ranked in the top 50, which is the most in the conference, and while it has gone just 1-5 in those games, playing those teams will help going forward. Take note that SMU is not part of that group, it is part of the group that the Huskies have gone 8-1 against. The Huskies are 13-6-1 ATS in their last 20 games following a double-digit loss at home. 10* (622) Connecticut Huskies |

01-09-19 | TCU v. Kansas -5.5 | 68-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
This is a play on the KANSAS JAYHAWKS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Kansas is coming off a 77-60 defeat at Iowa St, a game where center Udoka Azubuike, who averages 13.4 ppg and 6.8 rpg, missed after suffering his latest injury a day earlier in practice. That was significant considering there was little time to prepare without him, especially with that game taking place on the road. Now the Jayhawks are back home where they are 8-0 which puts them in a great spot after they have failed to cover their last two games and going back, Kansas is 14-3 ATS in its last 18 games after failing to cover the spread in two or more consecutive games. Additionally, when the game following a loss is in Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas is 47-3 in the Bill Self era. TCU has won nine straight games including a win over Baylor in its conference opener and it hits the road for just the second time this season. The Horned Frogs have played a soft schedule and they hare the only team in the conference that has yet to face a top ten team. The Horned Frogs are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following an ATS loss. 9* (826) Kansas Jayhawks |

01-09-19 | Auburn -3 v. Ole Miss | 67-82 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a play on the AUBURN TIGERS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Last night, we played against NC State with a lot of that based on being overrated based on its weak schedule. Mississippi is in a similar spot tonight as it is 11-2 but has played the second easiest schedule of all teams in the SEC. The Rebels are 1-0 in the conference and that came against Vanderbilt which has played the easiest schedule in the SEC. The soft schedule has played a role in the 8-0 straight up and ATS run for the Rebels and that is ideal contrarian material for tonight. Auburn has two losses this season and it has been ansy to get back on the court as it has not played in 10 days and this will be just its second game in 17 days. The Tigers are the reigning SEC Champions and this is their conference opener so getting off to a big start is top priority. Auburn has four players averaging double-digit points, led by senior guard Bryce Brown at 15.3 ppg. Auburn is 7-0 ATS in its last seven games after scoring 85 or more points in two straight games and will be ready to fire on all cylinders again. 9* (785) Auburn Tigers |

01-09-19 | Marquette v. Creighton -2.5 | Top | 106-104 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 40 m | Show |
This is a play on the CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. The Bluejays opened Big East play with a win at Providence but lost at Butler by 15 points on Saturday to fall to 10-5 on the season overall. That record looks average but they have played the 6th ranked schedule in the nation as they have played 10 teams that won at least 21 games last year. They have been a great bounce back team, going 8-0 ATS in their last eight games after allowing 80 or more points. Marquette is coming off an 18-point win over Xavier on Saturday but that was at home where it is 11-0 on the season. The Golden Eagles have been blown out in their only two road games this season, including an 89-69 loss at St. John's to open conference play on January 1st. Marquette is 4-13 ATS in its last 17 games after a win by 10 points or more and here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by 8 or more ppg, after allowing 45 points or more in the first half last game. This situation is 35-9 ATS (79.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (800) Creighton Bluejays |

01-08-19 | North Carolina +1 v. NC State | 90-82 | Win | 100 | 11 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a play on the NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. North Carolina has not gotten off to the start it expected but it opened the season ranked No. 8 and now sits No. 12 so it has not been a big fall considering the losses were all quality ones. The Tar Heels won their ACC opener on Saturday as they rolled past the Panthers in Pittsburgh and while the challenge will be tougher here, this is a case of a team being a false favorite. NC State came into the season unranked and received only one vote and now with a 13-1 record, the Wolfpack are ranked No. 15. They did have a solid win in Miami to open conference play but this will be their first true ACC test for what is an overrated team. Out of 353 teams in Division I, NC State has played the No. 352 ranked schedule so its record is deceiving. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by 8 or more ppg, after scoring 80 points or more three straight games. This situation is 77-35 ATS (68.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (639) North Carolina Tar Heels |

01-08-19 | Oklahoma v. Texas Tech -6.5 | Top | 59-66 | Win | 100 | 11 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Oklahoma is another team that came into the season unranked but it is off to a 12-2 start and has cracked the top 25. The Sooners are 1-1 in the Big XII as they bounced back from a loss at Kansas with a home win over rival Oklahoma St. on Saturday. They are 3-1 on the road and while a win at Northwestern was nice, it took overtime and the other two wins came at UTSA and Texas Rio Grand Valley. Texas Tech is now ranked in the top ten with a 13-1 record thanks to a pair of wins to open conference play over West Virginia and Kansas St. The Red Raiders only loss came against Duke in a close one. Texas Tech is 17-4 ATS in its last 21 home games after failing to cover six or seven of its last eight games. Here, we play on favorites after failing to cover the spread in four or more consecutive games going up against an opponent after successfully covering the spread in four or more consecutive games. This situation is 96-54 ATS (64 percent) since 1997. 10* (642) Texas Tech Red Raiders |

01-08-19 | Texas v. Oklahoma State +3 | 58-61 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
This is a play on the OKLAHOMA ST. COWBOYS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Texas has opened Big XII play with a 2-0 record with impressive wins at Kansas St. and at home against West Virginia. Overall, the Longhorns have won three straight games and five of their last six since suffering consecutive home losses against Radford and VCU. The Longhorns are 1-4 ATS in their last five games against teams with a losing straight up record. Oklahoma St. has gotten off to the opposite start as it has opened 0-2 in conference action with a home loss against Iowa St. and a road loss at Oklahoma, both of which are ranked. The Cowboys have lost six of their last eight games although most have been competitive and the value is clearly on their side here as they have dropped seven straight games against the number and that puts them into a great situation. Here, we play on home teams after failing to cover the spread in seven or more consecutive games. This situation is 37-12 ATS (75.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (614) Oklahoma St. Cowboys |
