Italy Series A matchup here on Thursday as Udinese takes on Roma. Roma was all pumped up following their big win over Sampdoria, but that was short lived as they then lost to Milan, 0-2. That loss ended a three-game win streak by the Giallorossi. Now their chances of a Championship league bid has been hurt. Udinese is also coming off a loss at home to Zebrette, 2-3. Roma's defense has not been good since returning, allowing both opponents three goals. Home has been good to Roma in this matchup, winning 10 of the previous 11 matchups with Udinese. Home is big in this matchup and with that being said I look for Roma to take tis game. Play Roma here on the goal line. 

Leeds United looks poised to return to the Premier League as they continue to push forward as they are tops in the table by three-points. They are coming off a home win over Fulham, 3-0. Not such good news for Luton, who has been at the bottom of the table for some time now. They have the league's worst defense with 72 goals allowed. This should be an easy win for Leeds today, but of course at these prices we can't play them. We can play the total though and I expect Leeds to get plenty in this one. Take Leads on the Spread line at -1 1/2 goals and -105. 

Tottenham Spurs plays host today to West Ham. Lucas Moura and Dele Alli will be back in the lineup today for Tottenham. West Ham will have to continue play without Sebastien Haller and Robert Snodgrass. West Ham has won just one of the last 10 league games with two draws on the road. That makes them second from the last in fewer away points this year. Should be a lower scoring game, but the troubles that West Ham has had on the road are too much for me to get past. I'll take a shot here with the Spurs. Play Tottenham. 

English Premier league action is back and with that Jim Feist's favorite soccer league. Here on Saturday Jim will look at Leicester City against Watford. These teams last met back on December 4 with Leicester coming out on top, 2-0. In fact, of the last nine times these teams have met, none have resulted in a draw. Watford does has something to hang their hat on, a 3-0 home win before the virus break over Liverpool. The Hornets now take on Leicester City. Leicester City can still make the Champions League and that's important to this club. As for the Hornets, they face being relegated as the season moves on. With Leicester taking seven of the previous 10 games vs Watford and a Champions League spot on the line, I'll take them as a small dog here on Saturday.

Portuguese Primeira Liga action here on Thursday has SL Benfica vs CD Tondela. The Primeira Liga returns after almost a 3 month layoff. Benfica and Porto will vy once again for the league title. Porto has 60 points and Benfica right behind them with 59 points. As for Tondela, they are in survival mode right now, hoping to be in the Primeira Liga again next season. They are in 14th place with just 25 points. This will be the first game for both teams after a lengthy 3-month layoff. I learned from the German league that the legs aren't necessarily there in this first game. Still there is a huge difference in the quality of these teams. While we might see rust here in their first games back, I'm going to take the bettter team still in the hunt for that title. Play Benfica -2 goals (+1.05).

Leipzig has been a bit on the inconsistent side, but still having a good season and a chance at No 2 in the Bundesliga league. They are coming off a 2-2 draw with Hertha Berlin last Wednesday. Cologne has been slumping but has lost at home just one time in their last nine tries, that game beting to the best team in Bayern Muchinch 1-4. Leipzig has missed some golden opportunities to move up in league play with their inconsistency. Despite being unbeaten in their last nine, six of those nine have been draws.  Considering both teams playing less than stellar, the goal line here today ont the dog of +1.5 goals looks too good to pass on at home. Play Cologne +1.5 goals (-120). 

The last time these clubs met it was a Mainz blowout win, taking down Hoffenheim 5-1 on November 24, 2019. Hoffenheim is coming off a win last time out over Koln and a draw vs Union Berlin. Home teams have not been doing well this year in the German league and with that I am taking a long look here at the visitor, Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim is a good defensive team while Mainz is more a risk taking aggressive team. I'm going to stick with the road team trends thus far and take the money line dog price with Hoffenheim.

Leipzig can close the gap in the title challenge with Bayern Munich to just two points with a win here today. Feiburg are 2-2-1 their last five games and are eighth in the standings. Leipzig playing at home is a big edge for this club, having gone unbeaten in their last nine on the home turf. Meanwhile, Freiburg has not been good on the road, winning just once in their last 10.  Take the host here in what should be a lopsided win on the goal line. Leipzig -1.5 goals.

 Big 12 Conference Opening round action here today from Kansas City, MO has Kansas State taking on TCU. Kansas State is 10-21 S/U and 14-17 ATS on the season. The Wildcats are 1-10 S/U their last 11 games with that win coming last time out at home over Iowa State, 79-63. They have covered three straight games. The Cats haven't done well in neutral court games, evidenced by their 0-6 ATS mark their last six tries. TCU is 16-5 S/U and 11-19 ATS on the season. The Horned Frogs are 3-4 S/U their last seven games. They are also 4-3 ATS their last seven games. I like the Horned Frogs here tonight. Play TCU.

ACC Conference 2nd round action here today has North Carolina taking on Syracuse. The Syracuse Orange got a bye in the 1st round while North Carolina had a blow out win against Virginia Tech, 78-56. The Tar Heels have had a tough season with a 14-18 S/U record and 13-19 spread mark. Still, this is a North Carolina and don't underestimate them. The Orange are 17-14 S/U and 14-17 ATS on the season. The Orange have lost two of their last three games both S/U and ATS. That includes a home loss to the Tar Heels back on March 3rd, 79-82 as a 5-point favorite. NCU is the favorite here in this contest despite the worst record. I still think this Tar Heels team is much better than their record shows. I'm going to lay the small number with them here. Play North Carolina.

SEC Conference first round action here tonight has Vandy playing against Arkansas. Vanderbilt is 11-20 S/U and 15-15 ATS on the season. Vandy Commodores will look to avenge a big loss to Arkansas earlier this year, 55-75. Vandy has done well vs good teams, going 7-2 ATS their last nine times vs a team with a winning record. Arkansas is 19-12 S/U and 15-16 ATS on the season. The Razorbacks are only 4-9 ATS on the road and while this is not a true road contest, it's still away from where they have done much better. Arkansas is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. They have also covered just one of seven neutral site games. I'll take the points here with the Commodores as they look for some payback here tonight. Play Vanderbilt.

Big 12 First Round action here on Wednesday has Iowa State taking on Oklahoma State from Kansas City, MO. Iowa State Cyclones are 12-19 S/U and 13-17 ATS on the season. The Cyclones have lost three straight games and five of their last six. They are also 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games. They played Ok State back on Jan 21 and won at home, 89-82 then lost at Ok State on Feb 29th, 61-73. Oklahoma State Cowboys are 17-14 S/U and 14-17 ATS on the season. The Cowboys have won three straight games and are 6-2 S/U their last eight. They are also 7-3 ATS their last 10 games. Ok State laying 6.5 points here today. My numbers show Iowa State to be a very poor road team compared to the Cowboys on the road. Big edge here to Ok State. I'll lay the points. Take Oklahoma State.

Big Sky Conference First Round action from Boise Idaho has Weber State taking on Sacramento State. Sac State is 15-14 S/U and 16-10 ATS on the season. They have lost their last two games but covered three and tied one with a push in their last five games. Weber State is 12-19 S/U and 12-16 ATS on the season. Weber has covered its last two games. Sac State laying anywhere from 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 here. Dogs have done well in these early conference tourney games. I have these two teams even here today and with that I'll take the points. Play Weber State.

It's the battle for the Peace Garden State here on Tuesday as North Dakota and North Dakota State battle for the Summit league championship and the right to go to the NCAA tournament. North Dakota Fighting Hawks come into today's contest with a losing record at 15-17 overall and 11-18 ATS. This is their third game in three nights after beating South Dakota in the conference opener, 74-71 and then yesterday over IP Fort Wayne, 73-56, both as dogs. Might not be as easy here tonight against a very good North Dakota State team. The ND State Bison are 24-8 S/U and 16-14 ATS on the season. They beat Denver in the opener 71-69 and then beat Oral Roberts yesterday, 75-69. They have won four straight games and 11 of their last 12. They beat North Dakota back on Jan 19th at home, 83-74 and then lost at North Dakota, 68-71 on Feb 22nd. That was their only loss in their last 12 games. I like the Bison here tonight. They price is right so lets come on down and win on the better team here tonight. Play North Dakota State.

The Orlando Magic are holding onto that 8th and final playoff spot in the East with a 29-35 record. They are 5 1/2 games of 9th place Washington. Orlando has won and covered it's last two games. The Magic have also covered seven of their last eight games. Memphis is 8th place in the Western Conference with a 32-32 record and four-games ahead of 9th place New Orleans. The Grizzlies have won three of their last four games both S/U and ATS. They are also 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games and 8-2 their last 10 games as a favorite. Memphis has also done well against the Magic, covering 12 of the last 17 in this series. I'm going to be on the home team in this one. Play Memphis.

The Houston Rockets look to snap a four-game losing streak tonight at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Rockets have dropped to 6th in the West. Houston is 21-10 S/U at home, but only 15-16 ATS. The Rockets are also 2-6 ATS in their last eight games at home vs a losing road team. Minnesota has lost its last two games both S/U and ATS. They are 15-15-1 ATS on the road this season. Double digit line for the Rockets to cover here tonight. With their current losing streak, I'll take the points with the visitor in this one. Play Minnesota.

The New York Knicks and the Washington Wizards are both trying to climb back into a playoff spot. The Knicks have the harder task as they sit 12th and nine-games back of 8th place Orlando. As for Washington, they are 9th and 5 1/2 games back of that 8th spot. Both teams have lost seven of their last 10 games. The Knicks are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road dog. Washington has been good at home, covering 11 of their last 16 on their home court. Washington is also 16-7-1 ATS their last 24 meetings with the Knicks. I like the home team here with this small line. Play Washington.

American East Conference Semifinals has Hartford playing at Stony Brook. Hartford is 17-15 S/U and 17-12 ATS on the season. The Hawks finished 3rd in the conference. They finished winning three of their last four games. They also covered nine of their 14 on the road this year. Stony Brook Seawolves were 20-12 S/U and 15-16 ATS on the season. The Seawolves were only 5-9 ATS at home this season. They also have covered just one of their last 10 games. They lost last time vs Hartford at Stony Brook, 54-65 and lost at Hartford back in January, 65-68. Yet, here we are today with the Seawolves laying around 7 1/2 points to a team they haven't beaten yet this year. Don't forget they have covered just one of their last 10. I'll take the points here with the visitors. Play Hartford.

Second round tourney action in the Sun Belt conference here tonight has Coastal Carolina playing at Appalachian State. In this tournament, App State will be at home. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers have one of the most unique nicknames in sports. What is a Chanticleer? It's a type of Rooster. I guess that is better than the CC Roosters. Anyway, the Roosters, I mean Chanticleers are 16-16 S/U and 13-17 ATS on the season. Thy have won two of their last three games (all on the road) while covering two of those three. One of those wins was a road game at App State, where the Chanticleers won 84-77 as a 4 1/2 point dog. App State is 16-14 S/U and 15-13 ATS on the season. The Mountaineers are 2-2 S/U and 1-3 ATS in their last four games. My own numbers and power ratings support the visitor in this game. Also, dogs look to be covering at a good rate thus far in the tournaments. I'll take the points here with the Chantacleers today. Play Coastal Carolina.

Final Big 10 conference regular season game here today for both Iowa and Illinois. Iowa is 20-10 S/U and 18-11 ATS on the season. The Hawkeyes are just 1-2 S/U in their last three games including a home loss to Purdue, 68-77. Illinois is also 20-10 S/U on the season with a 15-14 ATS mark. Illinois lost its last time out, 63-71 at Ohio State. They are still 4-1 S/U their last five. Iowa historically has struggled on the road, going 15-36-2 ATS in their last 53 games vs a team with a winning home record. Illinois is 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following a loss. The home team has covered the last four in this series. I like the home team here. Play Illinois.

The Lakers and Bucks matchup up the other night in a battle of top of the East vs top of the West and the Lakers won a low scoring affair. Now it's time for another cross-town rivalry game with the Clippers. The Clippers are coming off a win over the Rockets, 120-105, holding the high scoring Houston team to just over 100 points. They did this on the road like the did the previous game where they went into Oklahoma City and beat the Thunder 109-94, holding the Thunder to under 100 points. The Clippers have now won and covered six straight games. The Lakers have won and covered their last three games. While both teams have been hot, the Clippers have really done well against their cross-town rivals, going 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings and 15-7 their last 22 when the Clippers have been the home team. I like the Clippers again here today. Play LA Clippers.

The New Orleans Pelicans will have to pick it up if they hope to make the post season. The Pelicans are sitting 11th right now, 4 1/2 games back of that 8th and final playoff spot. The Pelicans are the 2nd highest scoring team in the West with a 117.2 ppg average. The Pelicans have won and covered their last two. The are 15-12-4 ATS on the road and average 117.1 ppg. Minnesota is next to last in the West. They have lost seven of their last 10 games. They have been a horrible bet at home, going 7-23-1 ATS. They are also 16-34-1 ATS in their last 51 games overall. Hard to find any positives with this Minnesota team, especially from a bettor's perspective. I'm going to lay the points on the road. Play New Orleans.

Final regular season contest here for these clubs in the Atlantic 10 conference between St Bonny's and St Louis. St Bonaventure Bonnies are 19-11 S/U and 17-12 ATS on the season. The Bonnies are 2-3 S/U and ATS in their last five games. St Louis is 21-8 S/U and 16-12 ATS on the season. The Billikens have won four straight games and are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four. Both these teams are likely bubble teams and will need good showing or to win their conference tourney. I like the prospects of St Louis better though and will take them here tonight. Play St Louis.

Semifinals of the Missouri Valley Conference here today has Valparaiso playing at Missouri State. This game being played in St Louis, MO so a slight home court here for Missouri State. The Valp Crusaders had to go to OT yesterday to advance to tonight's contest. They beat Loyola Chicago, 74-73 as a 5.5-point dog. They beat Evansville in the first round, 58-55. They will have to be tired here tonight playing their third game in three nights plus that OT. Missouri State should be much fresher, having played just one game thus far. They had an easy time of it last night, blowing out Indiana State, 78-51. The game was never close and that means they should have more in reserve tonight. These conference tournaments really show how well conditioned teams are playing all these games in a row. Tonight, Missouri State is the much rested team. Play Missouri State.

Last game of the regular season today for these Big 12 teams as TCU hosts Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Sooners are 18-12 S/U and 13-15 ATS on the season. The Sooners have lost four of their last six games both S/U and ATS. Their one game vs TCU this year at home was an easy blowout win, 83-63. TCU is 16-14 S/U and 11-18 ATS. The Frogs can't win on the road, but have won their last three at home both S/U and ATS. That includes beating then No 1 Baylor, 75-72 as a 9-point dog. TCU is tough at home, bad on the road. TCU laying just 1-point at home looks like a bargain to me. Play TCU.

Both these teams conclude Big 12 regular season play here tonight as they get ready for their conference tourney. Oklahoma State is 16-14 S/U and 13-17 ATS on the season. The Cowboys have done well, but not so good at home. The Cowboys have also not done well in the role of a dog, going 3-8 ATS their last 11 tries. Texas is 19-11 S/U and 15-15 ATS on the season. Tonight's game is big for the Longhorns as they can hit that 20 win mark. They have covered five straight games and won five straight. This game means more to Texas tonight then it does to Ok State. I'm taking the home team here. Play Texas.

PAC 12 regular season concludes here this afternoon for both these clubs. UCLA is 19-11 S/U and 15-12 ATS on the season. The Bruins are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games. They have also won seven games in a row S/U. UCLA lost at Pauley Pavillion to USC back on January 11th, 57-68 as a 1.5 point favorite. USC is 21-9 S/U and 19-11 ATS. The Trojans have won two straight both S/U and ATS. You can pretty much throw out records when these cross-town rivals matchup. I like the visitors in this game plus the points. Play UCLA.

Final game of the Big 12 regular season here for both these teams as West Virginia hosts 4th ranked Baylor. The Baylor Bears held the top spot in the nation for quite some time. That is until they have lost two of their last four games. The Bears are still 26-3 S/U and 18-11 ATS on the season. They have covered just one of their last four games. West Virginia having a fine season also at 20-10 S/U and 13-15 ATS. The Mountaineers have had a rough time lately, going 2-6 S/U and 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games. Baylor has one of the top defenses in the nation, but that has let them down of late. Both Kansas and Texas Tech hit over 50% from the field against them here lately. The one big edge I see here for WVU is that they can score points down in the paint. WVU has a big edge on the boards and that will lead to 2nd chance points. I see this Baylor team as being a team primed for another loss. West Virginia will be inspired here in their last home game of the season. I'm taking the home team. Play West Virginia.

Missouri Valley Conference QuarterFinals here on Friday from St Louis, MO has Missouri State taking on Indiana State. Missouri State Bears with a slight geographical advantage here today. The Bears are 15-16 S/U and 19-11 ATS on the season. They have covered three of their last four games and seven of their last eight games. Indiana State Sycamores are 17-11 S/U and 15.11 ATS on the season. They are 3-0-1 ATS their last four games. Missouri State a small favorite here today. My numbers actually give them a bigger advantage on a neutral court. These teams have split the prior two matchups this year with Indiana State winning at home, 71-58 and losing at Missouri State, 68-78. I like the visitor in this matchup today. Play Missouri State.

The Portland Trailblazers need wins to get into the playoff picture as they are 9th right now, just 3 1/2 games back of 8th place Memphis. The Blazers have won two straight games, but need to win over losing teams like the Suns here tonight. The Suns are 13th in the West and have lost four straight games and seven of their last 10 games. Portland has covered four of their last five games when installed as the favorite. The Suns are 1-5 their last six as a dog and 6-20-1 ATS their last 27 games at home. I'll lay the small price on the road here tonight with the Blazers. Play Portland.

Atlantic 10 Conference matchup here on Friday has Va Commonwealth at Davidson. Both teams playing the last of their regular season games here today. VCU Rams are 18-12 S/U and 10-19 ATS on the season. They have not done well on the road, going 3-9 ATS in their 12 away games. They have also gone 1-6 ATS overall their last seven games. Davidson is 15-14 S/U and 12-17 ATS this season. The Wildcats are 15-14 S/U and and 12-17 ATS on the season. While Davidson has done bad on the road, they are 8-3 ATS at home. Davidson is a good home team, going 10-1 S/U on the season. Laying just four points with Davidson at home looks like a bargain to me. Play Davidson.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are 6th in the Western conference with a 38-24 record. They have won six of their last 10 games. The Thunder have done very well on the road, posting a 21-8 S/U record. The Thunder are 22-8 ATS their last 30 games on the road and 9-2 ATS their last 11 on the road when that team has a losing record. The Thunder have also done well lately vs the Knicks, going 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings. The Knicks are 13th in the East with a 19-43 record. They have lost seven of their last 10 games. They are also 10-21 S/U at home and being outscored by 5.1 ppg this season. Thunder laying seven here tonight. I like them though in this spot. Play Oklahoma City.

The St Louis Blues looked poised to defend their Stanley Cup trophy. They are 1st in the Western Conference with 90 points and have won eight straight games. Tonight that looks to be extended to nine games as they play at New Jersey. The Devils are 3rd from the bottom of the Eastern Conference with just 64 points. The Devils are coming off a loss at Vegas, 0-3. They have lost three of their last four games. The Devils are also 3-7 their last 10 vs the West and 19-56 their last 75 games against a team with a winning record. The favorite has won the last 13 of 16 in this series and the Blues are 5-0 their last five at New Jersey. I'm laying the puck line here. Take St Louis -1.5 goals.

The Atlanta Hawks are not the worst team in the East, but close, sitting just ahead of the last place Cavaliers. The Hawks can be a decent play at home where I have made some money on them lately. However, once this team takes to the road it's Buyer Beware. The Hawks are 2-5 their last seven games as a road dog. The Washington Wizards are just one spot out of the playoff picture, 3 1/2 games back of the Magic for 8th place. The Wizards have done well at home for bettors, going 10-4 ATS in their last 14 on home court. I like the Wizards here tonight. Play Washington.

Metro Atlantic conference matchup here on Friday has Siena playing at Monmouth. Last game of the regular season for both these clubs as they get set to enter the conference tournament. The Siena Saints are 18-10 S/U and 14-14 ATS on the season. The Saints are 2-3 ATS in their last five games, though they have won eight games in a row straight up. The Saints have struggled though on the road, going 4-10 ATS in their 14 away games. They play a good Monmouth team here today that is 18-12 S/U and 15-14 ATS on the season. The Hawks are 3rd in the conference and have covered eight of their 12 home games. I like the home team here quite a lot today. They have are 11-1 at home straight up and laying just over a point at home we really just need them to win. Play Monmouth.

The Philadelphia Sixers have lost two straight games and dropped to 6th in the East with a 37-25 record. The Sacramento Kings are trying to get into the playoff picture. They have won three straight games and seven of their last 10 games. The have closed to 3 1/2 games back of 8th place Memphis. Sacramento is 6-1 ATS their last 7; 5-1 ATS their last six home games and 6-1 ATS their last seven after scoring 100 or more points in their previous game. The Sixers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a dog and 2-8 ATS their last 10 games on 1 day of rest. In addition they have not been good on the road, going 5-20-1 ATS their last 26 road games. The Kings are 5-0 their last five vs the Sixers. I'm taking the Kings here tonight. Play Sacramento.

Western Athletic Conference contest here tonight as Cal Baptist plays at New Mexico State. Cal Baptist with a pair of regular season games left, tonight at New Mexico State and then at Texas Rio Grande. Cal Baptist is 22-7 S/U and 17-8 ATS on the season. They are also 8-2 ATS on the road. New Mexico State Aggies are 24-6 S/U and 12-16 ATS on the season. However, at home at the Aggies are only 4-7 ATS. A bit surprised that a quality team like Cal Baptist getting almost double digits here tonight. My own numbers have this one closer to 5-points on the host. I'll take them thought. Play Cal Baptist.

PAC 12 conference action here tonight has Stanford playing at Oregon State. Stanford still with two games left in the regular season as they close out Saturday at Oregon. Stanford is 20-9 S/U and 19-10 ATS on the season. They have covered their last four games. Oregon State is 15-13 S/U and 16-12 ATS this season. The Ducks are 0-4 S/U in their last four but have covered their last two games. Just need to pick the winner in this game tonight with the line around pick. I'll take the visitors. Play Stanford.

Extra board action here tonight has Texas Southern playing at Southern U. The Texas Southern Tigers are 2nd in the Southwestern Athletic conference. They are second despite a 14-14 S/U and 11-15 ATS record. In conference play they have done well, going 11-4 S/U but only 6-9 ATS. They have covered just two of their last eight games. The Southern Jaguars are 14-15 S/U and 17-7 ATS on the season. The Jags have covered five straight games and are 8-1-1 ATS their last 10. They have also won five games in a row straight up. Good matchup here tonight, but Southern U looks tough to me and I expect them to handle visiting Texas Southern. Play Southern U.

American Athletic Conference action here as both these teams close out the regular season with a pair of games left on their respective schedules. Houston is ranked 21st in the nation with their 22-7 S/U and 16-13 ATS record. The Cougars haven't been the best covering team, especially of late, where they are 2-3 ATS their last five games. But what's most disconcerting is that they are 0-3 ATS in their last three road games and 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. They finish up with a difficult home game vs Memphis. U Conn won't make the NCAA's unless they win the AAC tourney. They are just 17-12 S/U and 17-11 ATS. The likely NIT bound Huskies have won their last three games. They have also won their last five home games. You have to go back to January for their last home loss and that was to Tulsa in OT. Getting a few points here today with a decent home team is more than I can pass on. Play U Conn.

Atlantic Coast Conference action here tonight has Virginia playing at Miami Florida. Both teams still have one game left after tonight, even with conference tournaments already underway. The Virginia Cavs finish up at home against Louisville on Saturday. The Cavs are 21-7 S/U and 12-15 ATS on the season. Despite their less than stellar spread record, the Cavs have won six straight and nine of their last 10 while covering five straight. The Miami Florida Hurricanes are 14-14 S/U and ATS this season. The Canes have lost their last two games both S/U and ATS. They finish at home on Saturday against Syracuse. Miami might make a minor post season tourney, but defending NCAA champion Virginia is ready to defend their title. I'm Taking Virginia here to cover this very small spread. Play Virginia.

Atlantic Coast Conference action here on Wednesday has Notre Dame hosting Florida State. The Florida State Seminoles are 24-5 S/U and 15-14 ATS on the season. The Seminoles are 4-1 S/U their last five and 7-2 their last nine. They are coming off a road loss at Clemson, 69-70 as a 3.5-point favorite. In fact, they have lost three of their last five road games. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 18-11 S/U and 15-12 ATS. The Irish would be considered a bubble team and need to win tonight and in their final home game against Virginia Tech to hit 20 wins. A good conference tourney showing and they should make the NCAA. However, they have to focus on tonight. The Irish are coming off a pair of road losses to Boston College and Wake Forest. They return home where they have won five straight games and are 4-1 ATS. Irish a very small home dog here tonight. I think they have much more motivation to win this game tonight. Play Notre Dame.

The Utah Jazz sit 5th in the Western Conference right now with a 38-22 record, but just 3 1/2 games back of 2nd place Clippers. The Jazz have won two straight games, coming a road win at Cleveland, 126-113. The Jazz are 17-13 S/U and 15-14-1 ATs on the road this season. The New York Knicks are coming off a huge win over visiting Houston last game, 125-123. The Knicks blew a huge lead they built in the first half and a 10-point halftime lead and had to hold on for the win. It was the team's 2nd win and cover in a row. Still, they are just 2-5 S/U their last seven games. The Jazz are now 13-3-1 ATS their last 17 games following a spread win. They also cover well on the road, going 11-5 ATS their last 16 away games. The Knicks are just 6-16 their last 22 home games vs a winning road team. I'm going to take the visitor in this one. Play Utah.

Atlantic 10 Conference action here on Wednesday. While many conference enter into their conference tournaments, the A-10 still has a few games to go. St Louis plays today at George Mason and then finishes up at home against St Bonaventure. St Louis is 20-8 S/U and 15-12 ATS on the season. The Billikens have won three straight games and are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games. George Mason is 15-14 S/U and 13-16 ATS on the season. Mason has lost two straight games, four of their last six and eight of their last 10. They are also 5-12 ATS their last 17 games. I'll lay the small price here on the road with St Louis. Play St LOUIS.

The Washington Wizards are sitting in 9th place in the Eastern conference, four-games back of Brooklyn for that final playoff spot. The Wizards are 5-5 S/U in their last 10 games. They are 8-22 S/u on the road with a 15-14-1 ATS mark. The Sacramento Kings are 11th in the West, but just 3.5-games back of 8th place Memphis. The Kings have won two straight games and seven of their last 10. They did struggle last time out at home vs Detroit, trailing 1-18 to start the first four minutes of the game. It would take most of the game for them to erase that 17-point deficit, but they did and almost covered the 9-point spread. It was their first loss vs the number in their last five games. Moreover , they are 8-3 ATS their last 11 games. The Kings are 4-1-1 vs the Wizards in their last 6 at Sacramento. I look for the Kings to take this one tonight. Play Sacramento.

The Toronto Raptors are 2nd in the NBA East, but 9 1/2 games back of first place Milwaukee. They hold just a half game lead over 3rd place Boston. The Raptors look to snap a 3-game losing streak here tonight. They have been one of the better teams on the road this season, posting a 19-9 S/U and 14-13-1 ATS mark. The Raptors have been a pretty good team at bouncing back, evidenced by their 7-2 ATS mark their last nine after a ATS loss. The Phoenix Suns are 13th in the West and six games back of the last playoff spot. They have also lost three straight games. The Suns are only 11-21 S/U and 11-20-1 ATS at home this season. The Suns are 7-19 ATS their last 26 and 6-19-1 ATS in their last 26 home games. I'm going to be on the visitor here tonight. Play Toronto.

Big 12 Conference action nearing a close this regular season with Texas playing at Oklahoma tonight and then closing at Oklahoma State on the 7th. The Longhorns are 18-11 S/U and 14-15 ATS this season. They are also 9-5 ATS on the road. The Longhorns have won and covered the last four games. They did lose at home to the Sooners way back on January 8th, 62-72 as a 3-point favorite. Meanwhile, Oklahoma is 18-11 S/U and 13-14 ATS this season. The Sooners will finish there season at TCU on the 7th. Oklahoma has won and covered their last two games. Both these teams likely headed for NIT action unless they win the conference tourney, which is highly unlikely. Tonight I'm taking the road team and the points here. Play Texas.

Big East action here tonight has Marquette playing at Depaul. Marquette is 18-10 on the season and 16-12 vs the spread. The Golden Eagles have been a good covering team most of their conference play, going 8-4 ATS in their last 12 games. Though they are just 1-4 S/U their last five games. The Depaul Blue Demons are 14-15 S/U and 12-16 ATS on the season. The Demons are just 6-16 ATS at home this season. In addition, they have covered just one of their last seven games. Moreover, they are 1-10 S/U their last 11. They could also e without one of their better players tonight in forward Paul Reed who is questionable with a hip injury. Reed averages 14.9 ppg this year in his 28 starts and averages 3 blocks and 3.2 rebounds per game. The Blue Demons are bad enough, but if Reed is out, then this team has not shot tonight. I'm taking Marquette.

Sun Belt conference action here tonight has Arkansas Little Rock playing at Georgia State. Arkansas LR Trojans are 21-9 overall on the season and 1st in the Sun Belt. They are also 19-9 ATS. The Trojans have won and covered their last three straight after losing two straight. Tonight's game at Georgia State finishes their regular season. Georgia State is 18-12 S/U and 15-13 ATS on the season. The Panthers are 5th in the Sun Belt conference. They look to snap a 3-game losing streak here tonight at home. Arkansas LR is vulnerable on the road, where they have lost two of their last three games. They lost at Texas State and at Texas Arlington. My numbers have Georgia State a bit higher favorite than the 3-points they are tonight. I'm going to take a shot here tonight on the home court of Georgia State. Play Georgia State.

The Dallas Mavericks are 7th in the Western Conference with a 37-24 record. They are 6-4 in their last 10 games and coming off a at Minnesota, 111-91. The Mavs have been one of the best road covering teams in the NBA this season, with a 23-8 ATS mark in 31 games. They are outscoring their opponents by 6.9 ppg during that span and averaging 117.2 ppg. The Chicago Bulls are 11th in the East and right now out of the playoff picture. They trail 8th play Brooklyn by 6 1/2 games and fading fast as they are just 1-9 in their last 10 games. The Bulls are now 3-9 ATS their last 12 games overall and 8-22 ATS their last 30 games as a home dog. The Mavs have covered five of their last six trips to Chicago and that's what I expect again tonight. Play Dallas.

The Detroit Red Wings are the worst team in the NHL. How bad? Their 35 points are 21 points behind the next closest teams (LA Kings). They have -120 goal differential this year, that's 74 goals worse then then next team (Ottawa) and they have won the fewest games at home this year (10). Tonight won't get any easier against the 2nd best team in the West, the Colorado Avalanche. The Avs have 85 points, 3-points back of 1st place St Louis. The Avs have won six straight games and 11 of their last 14 games. Colorado has also won five of the last six meetings with the Red Wings in Detroit and the last five overall. I can't lay the huge money line on the road here tonight, but I can play the Avs on the puck line. Take Colorado -1.5 goals.

The Atlanta Hawks maybe third from the last in the East, but they can win big, evidenced by their recent home blowout of visiting Brooklyn, 141-118 and their win last game over Portland, 129-117. That's three home games in a row they have scored 120 or more points. They will host the West's Grizzlies who are on the third game of their road swing and coming off a win at the Lakers, 105-88. That was their first cover in their last six games and 0-4 ATS in their last four road games. Meanwhile, the Hawks are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five home games and 8-2-1 in their last 11 home games. While the Hawks are not a good team they can win big. I like them here tonight against this team from the West. Play Atlanta.

Last and latest game on the regular board here today has Wisconsin hosting Minnesota. The Minnesota Gophers are 13-14 S/U and 14-10 ATS on the season. The Gophers are 1-4 S/U their last five games. They are also 3-5-2 ATS their last 10 games. Wisconsin is 18-10 S/U and 13-13 ATS on the season. They are 8-6 ATS at home this year and are 4-0-1 their last five games. They have also won five straight games S/U. These clubs met in Minnesota back on Feb 5th with the Gophers winning easily, 70-52. Looks like there will be some payback on order today. I look for Wisconsin to do the same to the Gophers here today. Take Wisconsin.

PAC 12 action this afternoon has two teams that likely will both make the NCAA tourney meet as Stanford hosts Colorado. The Colorado Buffaloes are 21-8 S/U and 12-16 ATS on the season. The Buffs have lost two straight games after dropping their last contest at Cal, 62-76. They are also 1-6 ATS in their last seven games. Stanford Cardinal are 19-9 S/U and 18-10 ATS. The Cardinal are 11-6 ATS at home this season. They have also covered their last three games. This basically a pick'em contest. I like the home team here tonight. Play Stanford.

The Dallas Mavericks are 7th in the Western Conference with a 36-24 record. They are 5-5 in their last 10 games and coming off a loss at Miami, 118-126. Still, the Mavs have been one of the best road covering teams in the NBA this season, with a 22-8 ATS mark in 30 games. They are outscoring their opponents by 6.4 ppg during that span and averaging 117.4 ppg. The Minnesota Timberwolves are last in the Northwest division of the Western Conference. They have lost 18 of their last 20 games and are 4-16 ATS during that span. They have also been bad at home, where they are just 6-21-2 ATS on the season. The Mavs point guard Luk Doncic is questionable today with a thumb injury, he's averaging 28.7 ppg this season. The Wolves will be without center Karl-Anthony Towns who is out indefinitely with a wrist injury. He's averaging 26.5 ppg. Injuries will effect the Mavs much less than the Wolves who can ill afford to be without their leading scorer. Take Dallas.

 Big East action here on Sunday has Xavier playing at Georgetown. Xavier is 18-10 S/U and 12-14 ATS on the season. The Musketeers have covered three of their last four games and six of their last eight. They are also covering well on the road where they are 4-0 ATS in their last four away games. Georgetown Hoyas are 15-13 S/U and 12-16 ATS on the season. The Hoyas have covered just six of their 16 home games this year. GT has a three-game losing streak heading into today's contest. Georgetown is also 3-9 ATS their last 12 games overall. Georgetown is also nursing quite a few injuries. Center Omer Yurtseven and guard Mac McClung are both questionable today. Guard James Akinjo is out after being dismissed from the team. Those three players combine for an average of 44.9 ppg this year. That's a lot of points to replace if those two miss time today. I like the visitor in this one. Play Xavier.

Late Saturday PAC-12 contest here has Arizona playing at UCLA. The Arizona Wildcats are 19-9 S/U and 15-13 ATS on the season. The Cats are 2-2 ATS their last four games and 4-4 ATS their last eight games. Arizona has lost two straight games both S/U and ATS including their last game at USC, 48-57. UCLA is 18-11 S/U and 14-12 ATS on the season. The Bruins have covered three straight games and are 5-2-1 ATS their last eight. In fact, they have won six straight and eight of the last 9 games. They have also 3-0-1 last four and 8-3-1 ATS their last 12. This is my top play of the day for Saturday and it's on the UCLA Bruins.

SEC action late on Saturday has South Carolina playing at Alabama. South Carolina Gamecocks are 17-11 S/U and 15-13 ATS on the season. They are also 8-6 ATS on the road this year. USC is 4-2 S/U their last six games and 6-4 ATS their last 10 games. This will be the only regular season meeting between these teams. USC finishes at home vs Miss State and then at Vandy. Alabama is 15-13 S/U and 19-9 ATS on the season. The Tide has been a great covering road dog this year, but not as good in the role of the favorite. The Tide are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games when installed as the favorite. Alabama laying five here today is just too steep for me. I believe USC can win this game out right. Take the points with South Carolina.

The Atlanta Hawks maybe third from the last in the East, but they can win big, evidenced by last night's blowout of visiting Brooklyn, 141-118. They will host the West's Trailblazers who are on a Eastern swing after playing and losing at Indiana on Thursday, 100-106. The Blazers are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games. Meanwhile, the Hawks are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four home games and 7-2-1 in their last 10 home games. While the Hawks are not a good team they can win big. I like them here tonight against this team from the West. Play Atlanta.

The Miami Heat host the Brooklyn Nets here on Saturday evening. The Heat are 4th in the East with a 37-22 record. They are coming off a win, but have lost seven of their last 10 games. The Heat are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 home games. They are also 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine at home when playing a team with a losing record. That losing record belongs to the Nets today at 26-32, though that is still good enough for 8th place in the East. The Nets have lost three straight games. The Nets are also 2-9 ATS in their last 11 as a road dog. They also play with no rest after playing last night at Atlanta and getting blown-out, 118-141. I like the Heat to duplicate that effort here tonight. Play Miami.

ACC action on Saturday has Duke playing at Virginia. Duke was shocked last time out at Wake Forest, losing in OT 101-113 as a 11-point favorite. The Blue Devils have now covered just two of their last eight games. After today, they close out the regular season with games at NC State and North Carolina. Virginia is 20-7 S/U and 11-15 ATS on the season. The Cavs have been hot, winning five straight and going 4-1 ATS in that span. I like the Cavs at home getting a few points. I look for them to win this one out right. Play Virginia.

PAC-12 afternoon action has Utah playing at California. The Utah Utes are 15-13 S/U and 14-14 ATS on the season. The Utes are 1-3 ATS in their last four games and 3-5 ATS in their last eight games. In addition, Utah is only 1-4 S/U their last five and 3-6 S/U their nine games. Cal will be looking for some payback here tonight on its home court after losing big at Utah back on Feb 8th, 45-60. The Bears have won two of their last three games and covered three of their last four games. Cal will finish up at Oregon and Oregon State before their conference tournament in Las Vegas. I'll take the home team here today. Play California.

 Big 12 Conference action here on Saturday has Oklahoma playing at West Virginia. The Oklahoma Sooners are 17-9 S/U and 12-14 ATS on the season. The Sooners snapped a 3-game losing streak last time out vs Texas Tech, 65-51. They are now 5-3 ATS in their last eight games. West Virginia Moutaineers are 19-9 S/U and 13-14 ATS on the season. The Mountaineers have lost two straight and five of their last six games both S/U and ATS. Today OKU getting 8-points looks like a mountain for West Virginia to cover have won just one of last five games. I'll take the points. Play Oklahoma.

ACC action here on Saturday has Notre Dame playing at Wake Forest. Wake pulled the big upset in their last game, a 113-101 OT win over visiting Duke as an 11-point dog. However, that was the game that made their season as they are just 12-15 and likely won't be making any post season tourneys. So I really look for a huge letdown here today by the Demon Deacons. They are playing a Notre Dame team that's on the bubble with a 18-10 record. The Irish have won three straight games, but covered just one of their last four games. Irish are still 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games. Again though, I'm expecting WVU to have a letdown here today after that win over Duke made their season. Play Notre Dame.

Big East action on Saturday has Providence playing at Villanova. The Providence Fryars are 16-12 S/U and 13-14 ATS on the season. The Fryars have won and covered their last three games. Providence finishes the regular season with a pair of home games vs Xavier and Depaul. As for Villanova, they are 22-6 S/U and 12-13 ATS on the season. The Wildcats have won five straight games and covered three of their last five. At home they have not covered well, going 0-4 their last four and 1-6 ATS their last seven. Villanova will finish up with road games at Seton Hall and Georgetown. I like the points here on Saturday. Play Providence.

SEC conference play here on Saturday has Texas A&M playing at LSU. The A&M Aggies are 14-13 S/U and 11-16 ATS on the season. The Aggies are 3-1 both S/U and ATS in their last four games. Conversely, LSU is 1-3 ATS their last four and 2-6 ATS their last eight games. The Tigers are coming off a blowout loss at Florida, 66-81 as a 5-point dog. LSU had a great first 2/3 of the season, but have fallen on hard times their last eight games. They finish up the regular season at Arkansas and then at home vs Georgia. A&M getting double digits here on Saturday morning is too many points to pass on. I'll take the dog here. Play Texas A&M.

The Milwaukee Bucks are the best team in the NBA with a 50-8 record. They are way out in front in the East and with the overall best record. Right now barring injury, this team's ticket in the NBA finals should be punched. That being said, you have to wonder how much they will start resting their stars late in the regular season. Expect more days off and more bench time for these guys. Still, the Bucks are 9-1 in their last 10 games. And, despite large spreads, they are 17-12 ATS at home this year. The West's Thunder are having a decent season with a 37-22 record. They have won five straight games and eight of their last 10 games. The Thunder are playing back-to-back here tonight, but that has been no problem for this team as they are 9-0 ATS in their last nine in this spot. They are also 10-1 ATS in their last 11 on the road vs a winning team. And, 22-6 ATS in their last 28 overall on the road. The Thunder have also covered five of the last six in Milwaukee. Yes, the Bucks are best, but I'm taking the points here tonight. Play Oklahoma City.

The Atlanta Hawks are the last team in the Eastern Conference with a 17-43 record, just a half game worse than the Knicks. They have lost two straight and four of their last six games. In addition, they are 2-4-1 ATS in their last seven games overall. The Nets have done well off a loss, going 5-1 ATS in their last six after losing the game before. They are also 7-2 ATS in their last nine games with 1-day of rest. The Nets are 7-1 ATS in their last eight vs the Hawks and 5-1 ATS in their last six at Atlanta. I like the visitor in this one, play Brooklyn.

Big Sky action here on Thursday evening has Eastern Washington playing at Southern Utah. The Eastern Washington Eagles are currently 2nd in the conference with a 19-8 overall record and 12-4 conference mark. They are down to their last four games with two straight on the road and then closing out at home vs Idaho State and Weber State. They Eagles have covered six of their last nine games. The Southern Utah Thunderbirds are 14-13 overall and 7th in the conference. The birds have covered just two of their 10 home games this year. Moreover, they are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games. Eastern Washington won the first meeting between these teams in OT, 81-78, just missing the cover as a 3.5 point favorite. Now Eastern Washington is a dog. Considering how much better they have done than Southern Utah, especially vs the number, I'll take the visitor here tonight. Play Eastern Washington.

A pair of Western Conference Texas clubs meet here tonight has the Spurs host the Mavericks in San Antonio. The Mavs are 7th in the West with just 5-games separating them from 2nd place. The Spurs look to be out of the playoff picture as they sit 11th and 3 1/2 games back of 8th place Memphis. They will need to get it in gear if they hope to climb into the post season. Dallas has won three of their last four games both S/U and ATS. They have also been a great road covering team, going 21-7 ATS on the season on the road. Conversely, the Spurs have been a terrible covering team, posting a 9-17 ATS mark at home this year. They are also 2-5 ATS their last seven overall games. I like the visitor in this one tonight. Play Dallas.

ACC action here tonight has Syracuse Orangemen playing at the Pittsburgh Panthers. The Orange are 15-12 S/U and 12-15 ATS on the season. They snapped a 3-game losing streak last game with a win over Georgia Tech 79-72. They have been a better covering team on the road, where they are 6-4 ATS compared to their home 6-11 ATS marks. Meanwhile, Pitt is 15-13 S/U and 12-16 ATS on the season. The Panthers have a four game losing streak as they come into tonight's contest, both S/U and ATS. The Panthers are also 1-6 ATS their last seven games and 2-8 ATS their last 10 games. The Panthers have not done well in conference play, going just 2-7 S/U their last nine games. That includes a loss at Syracuse back on Jan 25th, 61-69 as a 5.5-point dog. Longshot for both clubs to make the NCAA tourney. However, my number clearly show Syracuse the better team overall. Take Syracuse.

ACC action here on Wednesday as the regular season winds down to a few precious games. The Virginia Cavaliers take on their rivals, Virginia Tech tonight. The Cavs are 19-7 S/U and 10-15 ATS on the season. While the Cavs are not a great covering team, they have covered three straight games, including road games at North Carolina and Pittsburgh. They have also won four straight games and seven of their last eight. Tech is 15-12 S/U and 11-16 ATS on the season. They have lost two straight games both S/U and ATS. In fact, they are just 1-3 S/U in their last four home games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. Small price to lay here with the better team on the road. Play Virginia.

Atlantic 10 conference action here on Wednesday has VCU playing at U Mass. The VCU Rams are 17-10 S/U, but only 9-17 ATS on the season. The Rams are a dismal 3-8 ATS on the road. In conference play the Rams are 0-4 both S/U and ATS in their last four. The U Mass Minutemen are 12-15 S/U and 17-10 ATS on the season. However, at home they have been the bettor's friend, going 12-2 ATS. In fact, they have covered their last six games and eight of the last nine overall. Now they get points from VCU, I'll take that any day with a great home covering team. Play Massachusetts.

Two of the worst teams in the NBA West conference meet tonight as the Golden State Warriors host the Sacramento Kings. The Warriors still without Stephen Curry (hand) who may return before the end of the season. They won't get guard Klay Thomspon back this year and forward Andrew Wiggins is now hurting with a leg injury (though probable tonight). It's a nightmare season the Warriors would like to forget, winning an NBA worse 12 games on the season. The Kings aren't much better with just 23 wins, though they have won two straight. The Warriors have lost six straight games. The Warriors are also 1-5 ATS in their last six home games. The Kings are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games. The Kings have covered their last six tries at Golden State and that's just what I expect here tonight. Play Sacramento.

 The Detroit Pistons not only are a long ways from home, but now they have to play in the high altitude of Denver tonight. Detroit has lost six straight games and is 2-8 their last 10 games. The Pistons are 8-17-1 their last 26 as a road dog. They did cover their last game at Portland, but that's not good as they are just 5-15-1 their last 21 following an ATS win. The Denver Nuggets are 2nd in the Western Conference with a 39-18 record. They have won seven of their last 10 games. Denver is also 5-1 ATS in their last six games as a home favorite. Don't expect much fight here tonight out of the Pistons. Take Denver in a blowout win.

American Athletic Conference action here tonight has Memphis playing at SMU. Both teams look to be bubble teams at this point. Memphis is 19-10 S/U and SMU is 18-8. After tonight, Memphis goes to Tulane, returns home to face Wichita State and then closes at Houston. They could easily go 1-3 their final four. SMU will next face Wichita State at home and then close out at Central Florida and South Florida. Their final four look a bit easier than Memphis. Memphis has covered four of their last five and six of their last eight games. Meanwhile, SMU has struggled a bit, covering just one of their last five games and two of their last seven games. I look for a close game here tonight that can go either way. I'll take the points with the visitor. Play Memphis.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have moved up to 6th in the Western Conference, thanks in part to their three-game win streak and 7-3 record their last 10 games. The Thunder are only four games back of 2nd place Denver as they play at Chicago tonight. The Bulls have dropped out of the playoff picture in the East as they have lost eight of their last 10 games. The Bulls are 18-40 ATS their last 58 games at home. They are also 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 games with one-day rest and 7-22 ATS in their last 29 as a home dog. Meanwhile, the Thunder have been a very good road team for bettors, evidenced by their 22-5 ATS mark their last 27 away games. I'll lay the points with the road team here tonight. Play Oklahoma City Thunder.

 MAC action here tonight has two of the best in the conference squaring off in Bowling Green. The Akron Zips are 21-6 S/U and 14-11 ATS on the season. The Zips have won five straight games including a home win over Bowling Green back on Feb 11, 74-59. The Bowling Green Falcons are 20-7 S/U and 9-15 ATS on the season. They have struggled to cover spreads, especially at home where they are 2-9 ATS in 11 games. In addition, they have covered just one of their last six games. Basically have to just pick the winner in this one. Akron is 1st in the East division of the MAC and tied with Bowling Green. Winner here tonight likely wins the East division. I will take the visitor in this one. Play Akron.

Regular season play is winding down and the Duke Blue Devils and Wake Forest Demon Deacons meet tonight for the final regular season time. These clubs met back on Jan 11th in Duke, with the Blue Devils blowing out their visitors, 9-59. Duke has gone onto a 23-4 record and 7th nationally ranking. They are 14-13 ATS and have covered just two of their last six games. The Deacons have not had a good season with just a 11-15 S/U and 14-12 ATS records. They have lost six of their last eight games and are 0-2 ATS in their last two. Wake finishes with Notre Dame at home and then road games at NCU and NC State. Likely no wins in any of their last four. Deacons not going anywhere this post season. Take Duke here tonight.

Big 12 Conference action on Monday has 17th ranked West Virginia playing at Texas. West Virginia is 19-8 S/U and 13-13 ATS on the season. The Mountaineers are 8-7 S/U and 8-7 ATS in conference play. They have struggled though, winning just one of their last five games and covering just one of those five. They will play at an equally struggling Texas Longhorn team. Texas is 16-11 S/U and 12-15 ATS on the season. The Longhorns have struggled of late in conference play too, going 2-4 S/U and ATS in their last six games and 4-7 S/U and 5-6 ATS their last 11. The one good sign for Texas, they have won their last two games including last time out at Kansas State, 70-59 as a 5.5 point dog. Texas getting about 5 to 5 1/2 points at home is too much to pass on here. Good value with the home team which I believe can win outright. Take Texas.

The Detroit Pistons continue to drop in the Eastern Conference, now 12th after their current 5-game losing streak. The Pistons are also 2-8 in their last 10 games. The Pistons are 1-3 ATS their last four and 4-9 ATS their last 13 games. It doesn't get much better on the road where they are 7-17-1 ATS in their last 25 away games as a dog. The Portland Trailblazers are sitting 9th right now in the West, 3 1/2 games back of 8th place Memphis. The Blazers have lost three straight and are 5-5 their last 10 games. However, they have covered five of their last six home games. The Blazers are also 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight meetings with the Pistons at Portland.

Late game on the board has Stanford playing at Washington State in PAC-12 action. The Stanford Cardinal are 17-9 S/U and 16-10 ATS on the season. The Cardinal will play three of their last four on the road beginning with tonight's contest at Washington State. The Cardinal have slumped of late in PAC-12 action, going just 2-7 S/U and 3-6 ATS their last nine games. Washington State is 14-13 S/U and 11-16 ATS on the season. The Cougars are 5-9 S/U and 6-8 ATS in PAC-12 play. They have lost three straight games and six of their last eight games. They are also 1-3 ATS at home in their last four tries. Even though Stanford has struggled of late, this should be the spot for them to get back to winning, which they desperately need if they hope to make the NCAA tournament. Play Stanford.

PAC-12 action here on Sunday evening has USC taking on Utah. The USC Trojans are 19-8 S/U and 17-10 ATS on the season. They have been a very good road team, covering 11 of their 14 away games. In addition, they are 8-6 S/U and 11-3 ATS in conference play. The Trojans have covered their last five games. Utah is 14-12 S/U and 13-13 ATS on the season. The Utes are 5-9 S/U and 6-8 ATS in PAC-12 play. The Utes have lost three straight games both S/U and ATS. These clubs met back on Jan 30th at Los Angeles with the Trojans winning 56-52 but failing to cover the 8 1/2 point favorite line. I like USC the way they have played on the road this year. Take USC.

A pair of nationally ranked teams meet here on Sunday as No 21 Butler plays at No 15 Creighton. The Butler Bulldogs are 19-8 S/U and 13-12 ATS on the season. They are also 7-7 S/U and 4-9-1 ATS in Big East play. I'm a bit surprised the Bulldogs still ranked as they really haven't played well in conference action. Now they have to face a Creighton team that is 21-6 S/U and 16-10 ATS on the season. Creighton is 10-4 S/U and 10-4 ATS in conference play. They have won and covered their last four games. Unlike Butler, Creighton has been playing very well in conference action. I fully expect this Creighton team to dominate this contest at home. Play Creighton.

 What all can you say about this Milwaukee club. They are the best team in the NBA with 47 wins and just eight losses. They are 5-games ahead of the Lakers for the best record in the NBA and anything short of an NBA Finals appearance will be a huge letdown for this Bucks team. That being said, I am taking the points here today with the 76ers. The Sixers are 5th in the East and have won four straight games. The Bucks return home after a 2-game road trip that saw them beat Detroit, 126-106 but lose to the Pacers, 111-118. Always tough for that first game back after a road trip. If there's spot where the Bucks might struggle a bit, it's in this spot. I'll take the points here tonight. Play Philadelphia.

The Brooklyn Nets right now would make the playoffs, sitting 7th in the Eastern Conference with a 25-29 record. Can't say the same for the Charlotte Hornets who are three spots back and 6 1/2 games behind the Nets in 9th place. The Nets have covered five of their last six games and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven when installed as the favorite. The Hornets are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games. The Nets have also covered 11 of the 16 in this series and 9-2 ATS at Charlotte. I like the visitor in this one. Play Brooklyn Nets.

West Coast conference action here this afternoon has Pepperdine playing at San Francisco. Pepperdine Waves are 15-13 S/U and 12-15 ATS on the season. They have covered eight of their 14 road games this season. The Waves are also 8-6 S/U and 7-6-1 ATS in conference play. The San Francisco Dons are 17-11 S/U and 12-15 ATS on the season. They are 6-9 ATS at home this year. The Dons haven't done all that well in conference play with a 6-7 S/U and ATS marks. The Dons have lost four of their last five games. I'm going to take the points here with the visitor who could win this game outright. Play Pepperdine.

 Mountain West action here on Saturday has San Jose State playing at Colorado State. The SJO Spartans are 7-20 S/U and 11-14 ATS on the season. They are also 4-7 ATS on the road this year. In conference play the Spartans are 3-12 S/U and 7-7-1 ATS. They have lost six straight games and covered just one of their last six. The Colorado State Rams are 18-10 S/U and 12-14 ATS on the season. The Rams are also 9-6 S/U and 6-8-1 ATS in conference play. The Rams have three games left with San Jose up today, San Diego State on deck and Air Force in the hole. I'll lay the big price today in a Rams Blowout win. Play Colorado State.

Ohio Valley Conference action here today has Murray State playing at Southern Illinois. Murray State is having a fine season with a 18-8 S/U and 12-12 spread records. The Racers are also 12-3 S/U and 8-6-1 ATS in conference play. Southern Illinois is 7-21 S/U and 9-17 ATS on the season. They are also 3-7 ATS at home. The Salukis are 4-11 S/U and 6-9 ATS in conference play. They have covered just two of their last eight games and are just 2-5 ATS in conference on their home court. These clubs met back on February 1st with the Racers clubbing the Salukis, 74-55 as a 17 point favorite. I expect the same here today on the Salukis home court this time. Play Murray State.

Early Big East action here on Saturday has Marquette playing at Providence. Marquette is 17-8 S/U and 15-10 ATS on the Season. The Golden Eagles are also 7-6 S/U and 8-5 ATS in conference play. They have lost two straight games, at home to Creighton (65-73) and at Villanova (71-72), covering the latter. Meanwhile, Providence is 15-12 S/U and 12-14 ATS on the season. The Friars are down to their last four games before tournament action begins in their conference. The Friars are 8-6 S/U and 8-5-1 ATS in conference play. They have won and covered two straight games including last time out at Georgetown, 73-63. The Friars are 5-2 S/U and 4-3 ATS on their home court this year. Today we lay just 2-points at home with the Friars. I will lay that short number. Play Providence.

Early SEC action on the hard court here today has Tennessee playing at No 13 Auburn. The Volunteers are 15-11 S/U and 12-14 ATS on the season. They are coming off a home win over Vandy 65-61, but failed to cover the double digit line. They are also 7-7 S/U and ATS in SEC play this year. They finish the regular season with three of their last five on the road. Nationally ranked Auburn is 22-4 S/U and 11-15 ATS on the season. They are also just 6-8 ATS at home. The Tigers are 10-4 S/U and 5-9 AST in SEC play. They have failed to cover their last four games and eight of their last 11 in the SEC. Also, all four of their straight up losses have come in SEC play, including losing their last two games at Missouri and Georgia where they were favored in both. While Auburn is the better team they just don't cover spreads. I'll take the number here on Saturday morning with the visitor. Play Tennessee.

PAC 12 action here tonight has two teams that likely won't get into the NCAA tournament without a really hot finish to the season or a tournament win. The UCLA Bruins are 15-11 S/U and 12-12 ATS on the season. The Bruins are also 8-5 S/U and 7-6 ATS in PAC 12 play. They have won three straight games though they are just 2-2 ATS their last four. Utah is 14-11 S/U and 13-12 ATS on the season. The Utes 5-8 S/U and 6-7 ATS in conference play. They have done well at home though, going 5-1 S/U and ATS in their six PAC-12 home games. I like the Utes here at home tonight. We only have to lay about 3-points which is a very good value with a decent home team. Play Utah.

West Coast Conference action here tonight has Santa Clara playing at BYU. The Santa Clara Broncos are 18-9 S/U and 11-13 ATS on the season. They are only 5-7 S/U and 5-6-1 ATS in conference play. The Broncos getting 14 1/2 points here tonight from 23rd ranked BYU. The BYU Cougars are 21-7 S/U and 17-10 ATS on the season. They are also 10-3 S/u and 9-4 ATS in conference play. Problem here tonight lies in the fact that BYU will have their big showdown with Gonzaga on Saturday. I think they will look past this Santa Clara team here tonight and just do enough to win the game but not cover the large spread. I'll take the dog in this game tonight. Play Santa Clara.

PAC 12 action here late on Thursday has USC taking on 18th ranked Colorado. The USC Trojans are 19-7 S/U and 16-10 ATS on the season. The Trojans are 8-5 S/U and 10-3 ATS in conference play. Meanwhile, ranked Colorado is 20-6 S/U and 12-13 ATS on the season. The Buffaloes are 9-4 S/U and 7-6 ATS in conference play. USC has been covering a lot of games, especially in conference play where they are 6-1 ATS on the road. The Buffs have struggled to cover and now we get 9 1/2 points here tonight. I'm taking the dog in this one. Play USC.

American Athletic Conference play here today has U Conn taking on Temple. U Conn is 14-11 S/U and 15-9 ATS on the season. They look destined for a NIT bid unless they can get hot heading into their conference tournament. The Huskies are 5-8 S/U and 6-6-1 ATS in conference play. They are also 1-6 S/U and 4-3 ATS on the road in the conference. The Temple Owls are 13-12 S/U and 11-13 ATS this season. The Owls are 5-9 S/U and ATS in conference play. They have won and covered two of their last three at home. Should be a close game here between two mediocre teams. But I like the home team in this one. Play Temple.

Sun Belt Conference action here tonight has UL Monroe playing at Arkansas State. UL Monroe Warhawks are just 7-18 S/U and 9-13 ATS on the season. The Hawks are also having a terrible conference slate, with just a 3-13 S/U and 7-8-1 ATS mark. They have lost 11 of their last 12 games with their only win coming over Troy State, 74-71. Arkansas State is 15-12 S/U and 17-8 ATS on the season. They are 7-9 S/U and 11-5 ATS in conference play. They have lost five straight games, but the last three have been on the road. They return home here tonight where they have covered nine of their 13 games. I like the home team here tonight against the worst team in the conference. Play Arkansas State.

A pair of top 20 teams matchup here on Tuesday as No 15 Creighton plays at No 19 Marquette. The Creighton Blue Jays are 20-6 S/U and 15-10 ATS on the season. They have won three straight games both S/U and ATS. They are also 9-4 S/U and ATS and 2nd in Big East play. The Marquette Golden Eagles are 17-7 S/U and 15-9 ATS on the season. The Eagles are 4th in the Big East with a 7-5 S/U and 8-4 ATS record. The Eagles are 5-1 S/U and 4-2 ATS at home in the Big East. Marquette laying 3-points at home here tonight. I'll be on them. Play Marquette.

Two Southeastern conference teams with 16-9 records matchup here today as Florida hosts Arkansas. Arkansas has a 12-13 spread mark this year, 4-6 on the road. The Razorbacks have lost four straight games and seven of their last nine games. They are also 2-7 ATS during that span. They will take on a Florida team that is 8-5 S/U and 6-7 ATS in conference play. The Gators have won and covered their last two games. Florida laying around 7-points here tonight. I'm going to take the home club. Play Florida.

Big 10 action here on Tuesday has Illinois playing at Penn State. The Illinois Fighting Illini are 16-9 S/U and 13-11 ATS on the season. They are also 8-6 S/U and 8-6 ATS in conference play. They have lost four straight games, going 1-3 ATS in that span. Penn State is ranked 9th in the country with a 20-5 S/U record. The Nittany Lions are also doing well vs the number, with a 16-8 ATS mark including 10-4 at home. Penn State is 10-4 S/U and 9-4-1 ATS. They have also won eight straight games and gone 7-0-1 ATS in those last eight. Penn State laying just 6 or 6 1/2 points here tonight looks like a great value to me. Play Penn State.

 Atlantic 10 conference matchup here on Tuesday has Davidson playing at St Joe's. Davidson Wildcats are 13-11 S/U and 11-13 ATS on the season. The Cats are also 7-5 S/U and 6-6 ATS in conference play. They have won and covered two straight games including blowout wins at home over Fordham, 70-49 and at St Bonnys, 93-64. St Josephs having a horrible season with a 4-21 S/U and 9-14 ATS record. The Hawks have not won a conference game in their 12 tries. They have covered three of those 12 games. Davidson laying double digits here today on the road. They have been winning big of late so they shouldn't have trouble with this number against a horrible team. Play Davidson.
