Loyola-Chicago @ Indiana State 7:00 PM ET Game# 769-770 Play On: Over 142.0 (5*) Loyola-Chicago has begun their Missouri Valley Conference schedule 3-0 and each of those games went over the total, and with a combined 152.3 points scored per contest. On the other side of the table is an Indiana State team which has played 9-3 to the over this season and with a combined average of 146.7 points scored per game. The numbers don’t lie, and neither will this result. Bet this game to go over the total. |

01-15-22 | Alabama v. Mississippi State -120 | 76-78 | Win | 100 | 18 h 19 m | Show | |
Alabama @ Mississippi State 6:00 PM ET Game# 751-752 Play On: Mississippi State -120 Unranked Mississippi State comes up favorite in this contest versus #24 Alabama and in my mind rightfully so. Alabama is coming off an emotional 4-point home loss to bitter rival and 4th ranked Auburn. That was preceded by a horrible loss at Missouri in a game they closed as a 14.0-point favorite. The Crimson Tide have a home date with #12 LSU. This has all the earmarks of a flata spot for Alabama. The Crimson Tide has been erratic this season evidenced by their win over #2 Gonzaga but losses on a neutral floor to unranked teams in Davidson and Iona. Mississippi State is 9-1 on their home floor this season and will be amped up for this one. The Bulldogs have been red-hot offensively throughout its previous 5 games. Give me Mississippi State on the money line. |

01-15-22 | Stanford -130 v. Washington | 64-67 | Loss | -130 | 18 h 18 m | Show | |
Stanford @ Washington 6:00 PM ET Game# 755-756 Play On: Stanford -130 (5*) Washington is coming off a 64-55 win over California. However, the Huskies are 0-3 SU&ATS in their last 3 following a win and lost by a decisive 16.3 points per game. This is also a Washington team which has lost home games to the likes of Winthrop, Utah Valley State, and Northern Illinois. Stanford is starting to gel. The Cardinal are 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 including a shocking upset win at #5 and previously unbeaten USC. Stanford trailed by 9 at halftime on Thursday at Washington State but roared back with a 5-point win as a 7.0-point underdog. Give me Stanford for a money line wager. |

01-15-22 | Raiders +6 v. Bengals | 19-26 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 42 m | Show | |
Las Vegas @ Cincinnati 4:30 PM ET Game# 141-142 Bet On: Las Vegas +6.0 (5*) This is an extremely young and talented Cincinnati team which is way ahead of schedule. Nevertheless, they’ll ne to shake the ghosts of past franchise playoff failures. Cincinnati has lost 8 consecutive playoff games, failed to cover in 7 of those contests, and with 4 of those contests played at home. The Raiders were hanging on by a thread of hope a 5 weeks ago with a 6-7 record with regards to their playoff aspirations. Then they miraculously went on a 4-game win streak and got some help along the way to reach postseason action. They will also be out to avenge a deceiving 32-13 home loss to Cincinnati earlier this season in a contest they were only outgained 288-278. Bet Las Vegas plus the points. |

01-15-22 | Arkansas v. LSU -6.5 | 65-58 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 27 m | Show | |
Arkansas @ LSU 2:00 PM ET Game# 627-628 Play On: LSU -6.5 (5*) #12 LSU is 15-1 and their only loss occurred at #4 Auburn. The Bayou Bengals are a dominating 10-0 SU&ATS at home this season with an average victory margin of 27.3 points per game. Arkansas is 0-3 SU&ATS in true road games this season. This will also be the Razorbacks first game this season versus a ranked opponent. Give me LSU minus the points. |

01-15-22 | Texas v. Iowa State +2.5 | 70-79 | Win | 100 | 14 h 21 m | Show | |
Texas @ Iowa State 2:00 Game# 637-638 Play On: Iowa State +2.5 (5*) #21 Texas has a stellar 13-3 record but is just 1-2 in true road games. Conversely, #15 Iowa State is 10-1 at home and their lone defeat came by 5 versus #1 Baylor. The Cyclones are coming off a gut-wrenching 62-61 loss at #9 Kansas in a game they closed as a 13.0-point underdog. Look for the Cyclones to bounce back at home with a superb effort. Bet Iowa State plus the small number. |

01-15-22 | Seton Hall -120 v. Marquette | 72-73 | Loss | -120 | 12 h 23 m | Show | |
Seton Hall @ Marquette 12:00 PM ET Game# 611-612 Play On: Seton Hall -120 (5*) Marquette has gone 3-0 SU&ATS in their last 3 games and looked terrific in doing so with a 23.7 points per contest victory margin. Conversely, #20 Seton Hall is coming off an upset loss at DePaul and has gone 2-3 in their last 5. Yet, the Pirates come up favorite in this spot. I’m fairly confident a majority of public bettors will back Marquette in this spot and that’s fine by me. Just a couple more things of note. Seton Hall has won their last 6 games against Marquette. The pirates are averaging 79.1 points scored per game this season. Since the start of last season, Marquette is 1-7 SU at home when facing opponents that average 77 or more points per game. Give me Seton Hall on the money line. |

01-14-22 | Michigan v. Illinois OVER 143.5 | Top | 53-68 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
Michigan @ Illinois 9:00 PM ET Game# 895-896 Play On: Over 143.5 (10*) The Wolverines have averaged 63 field goal attempts per game in their last 5 which equates to a fast tempo and shot an impressive 48.3% while doing so. Conversely, Illinois has averaged 62 field goal attempts in their last 5 and shot 50.8% from the floor while making 41.8% of its 3-point shot attempts. Michigan has played 3-0 to the over in Big 10 Conference games and there was a combined 150.3 points scored per contest. Illinois has played 9-1-1 to the over in their last 11 and that includes 5-0 if the total was 141.0 or greater. Those 5 contests in that specific total’s parameter averaged a combined 163.4 points scored per contest. Bet this game to go over the total for a Top Play wager. |

01-13-22 | Ohio State v. Wisconsin OVER 139.5 | 68-78 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
Ohio State @ Wisconsin 7:00 PM ET Game# 781-782 Play On: Over 139.5 (5*) Wisconsin has seen each of their previous 5 contests go over the total and with a combined average of 152.0 points per game. Wisconsin has committed 8 turnovers or fewer in each of their last 7 games. The Badgers have played 7-0 to the over this season after committing 8 turnovers or less in each of its previous 2 contests and there was a combined average of 150.3 points scored per game. The Badgers have witnessed each of their last 5 at home versus Ohio State go over the total. Ohio State has been a good offensive team since the start of the season. During their 5 conference contests thus far, the Buckeyes scored 78.2 points per game, shot 48.3% from the floor, converted 39.8% of its 3-point shots, and made 85.7% of their free throws. Bet on this game to go over the total. |

01-13-22 | Stanford v. Washington State -7.5 | 62-57 | Loss | -103 | 5 h 31 m | Show | |
Stanford @ Washington State 5:00 PM ET Game# 763-764 Play On: Washington State -7.5 (5*) Stanford is coming off a huge upset win over then unbeaten and 5th ranked USC just 2 days ago. Now they find themselves on the road as a sizable underdog versus a 9-6 Washington State team that has already suffered 4 home losses. This falls under the category of a fishy line which is a trap to play the underdog. Give me Washington State minus the points. |
|||||||
01-12-22 | Utah State v. Colorado State OVER 150 | 72-77 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
Utah State @ Colorado State 8:00 PM ET Game# 727-728 Play On: Over 150.0 (5*) Utah State has played 3-0 to the over this season in true road games when the number was 140.0 or greater and there was a combined average of 168.3 points scored per contest. Conversely, Colorado State has played 4-1 to the over this season in all games with a total of 145.0 or greater and there was a combined average of 167.0 points per game. Both these teams shoot very well. Colorado State has converted on 40.1% of their 3-point shot attempts this season which ranks 6th best nationally and is also #4 in free throw shooting at 81.3%. Utah State ranks #42 nationally in 3-point shooting percentage and #19 nationally on 2-point field attempts at 56.2%. Bet this game to go over the total. |

01-12-22 | Heat v. Hawks -2.5 | 115-91 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 24 m | Show | |
Miami @ Atlanta 7:40 PM ET Game# 563-564 Play On: Atlanta -2.5 (5*) Miam is playing the finale of a 6-game road swing. The Heat are coming off an extremely impressive 123-100 win at Phoenix in their previous game. It would be hard to imagine they can match that emotional intensity tonight versus an opponent that’s been struggling mightily. I’m call for this to be a flat spot for Miami. Atlanta will be playing with 2 days rest following an unsuccessful 2-4 road trip. They dropped their last 2 on that trip. However, Atlanta is 5-1 SU&ATS in their last 6 immediately following 2 consecutive losses. Bet Atlanta minus the points. |
|||||||
01-12-22 | Hornets v. 76ers -5 | 109-98 | Loss | -104 | 4 h 54 m | Show | |
Charlotte @ Philadelphia 7:10 PM ET Game# 553-554 Play On: Philadelphia -5.0 (5*) The 76ers enter today on a 7-game win streak while also covering its last 5. The average line in their last 5 games was -4.8 and the 76ers outscored those opponents by 15.4 points per contest. Philadelphia has won their last 16 games played against Charlotte. The 76ers allowed 100 and 91 points in their last 2 games. Charlotte is currently averaging a lofty 115.2 points scored per game this season. Any NBA home favorite (Philadelphia) that allowed 100 points or less in each of their previous 2 games, and they’re facing an opponent (Charlotte) that’s averaging 114.0 points or more scored per game, resulted in those home favorites going 23-4 ATS throughout the previous 5 season. The average line in those 27 contests was 5.4 and the home favorite outscored their opponents by 12.7 points per game. Bet on Philadelphia minus the points. |

01-12-22 | Celtics v. Pacers +2.5 | 119-100 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
Boston @ Indiana 7:10 PM ET Game# 559-560 Play On: Indiana +2.5 (5*) Boston has lost their last 6 road games. The Celtics allowed 98 and 75 points in their last 2 games. Since the start of last season, Boston is an abysmal 1-11 SU after allowing 105 points or fewer in each of their previous 2 games and were outscored by 8.9 points per contest. Indiana is 1-7 SU in their last 8 games, but they covered 5 of its previous 6. Bet Indiana plus the points. |
|||||||
01-12-22 | Duke v. Wake Forest +6 | 76-64 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 25 m | Show | |
Wake Forest @ Duke 7:00 PM ET Game# 709-710 Play On: Wake Forest +6.0 (5*) This will be just the 2nd true road game for Duke this season. They were upset at Ohio State 71-66 as a 3.5-point favorite on 11/30/21 in their only other true road contest. In the you may be surprised to know category, since the 2019-2020 season, Duke is an abysmal 3-10 SU in their last 13 true road games. Duke is coming off a 2-point home upset loss to Miami in their previous game and they closed as a substantial 15.0-point favorite. Since the 2019-2020 season, Duke is a terrible by their standards 2-6 SU immediately following a conference favorite upset loss. Duke will be facing a Wake Forest team this evening which has gone an unbeaten 10-0 at home this season while outscoring those opponents by an average of 18.3 points per game. Bet Wake Forest plus the points. |
|||||||
01-12-22 | Villanova +1.5 v. Xavier | 64-60 | Win | 100 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
Villanova @ Xavier 6:30 PM ET Game# 685-686 Play On: Villanova +1.5 (5*) Villanova is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS in their last 4 versus Xavier and that includes a 13-point home win last month. Despite their 4 losses, Villanova is ranked #14 in the country, and that speaks well to the level of competition it has faced. As a matter of fact, their 3 non-conference losses came at #3 UCLA in overtime, versus #7 Purdue by 6, and at #1 Baylor. Their other defeat came at Creighton versus a Blue Jays team which is on the periphery of making the AP Top 25. They avenged that Creighton loss with a 34-point home win over them 3 weeks later. Furthermore, Villanova has won and covered each of their previous 4 Big East Conference games while allowing opponents to score only 57.5 points per game while shooting a combined 37.6%. Granted they will be facing #17 Xavier (12-2) this evening. However, they own 3 wins already this season versus ranked opponents in knocking off #20 Seton Hall, #22 Tennessee, and the previously mentioned home win over Xavier. Bet Villanova plus the small number. |

01-11-22 | Auburn v. Alabama -3 | 81-77 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Auburn @ Alabama 9:00 PM ET Game# 667-668 Play On: Alabama -3.0 (5*) The Crimson Tide faithful need something to feel good about today after watching their football team lose the National Championship Game last night. What better way to change the mood than a convincing home win on the hardwood over their bitter rival the Auburn Tigers. Auburn (14-1) is currently ranked #4 in the nation. The Tigers have gone a sizzling hot 11-0 SU and 9-2 ATS since their only loss of the season which came in triple overtime to Connecticut. Nevertheless, they come up as an underdog against an Alabama team coming off a shocking loss at Missouri as a 14.0-point in their previous game. Which Alabama team is going to show up tonight? The one that has seen all 4 of their losses this season come versus teams that are presently unranked. Or the one that’s 3-0 versus ranked teams this season while posting wins over #2 Gonzaga, #11 Houston, and #21 Tennessee. My educated prediction is on the latter of those two scenarios. Bet Alabama minus the points. |

01-11-22 | Iowa State v. Kansas -12.5 | 61-62 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Iowa State @ Kansas 8:00 PM ET Game# 651-652 Play On: Kansas -12.5 (5*) This line jumped right off the page at me as being extremely heavy. More times than not, that indicates to me that the sportsbooks are begging you to take the underdog. This is a textbook example of such when considering Kansas is coming off an upset loss as a 7.0-point favorite at Texas Tech on Saturday, and Iowa State comes in ranked #15. Bet Kansas minus the points. |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Miami-FL v. Florida State -6.5 | 64-65 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Miami Fla. @ Florida State 8:00 PM ET Game# 653-654 Play On: Florida State -6.5 (5*) So Miami enters today riding an 8-game win streak which includes 4-0 in ACC play. Furthermore, they’re coming off a huge upset win at #8 Duke in a game that closed as a mammoth 15.0-point underdog. Yet, here they are as a sizable road dog versus an unranked and 8-5 Florida State side. Give me Florida State minus the points. |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Texas Tech v. Baylor -11.5 | 65-62 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
Texas Tech @ Baylor 7:00 PM ET Game# 625-626 Play On: Baylor -11.5 (5*) #19 Texas Tech is coming off a huge 8-point home win over #9 Kansas in a game they closed as a 7.0-point underdog. That certainly didn’t impress the oddsmakers considering they’re currently a double-digit road underdog tonight at #1 Baylor (15-0). The Bears have been a bit complacent over their previous 3 games and that’s been apparent with some uninspiring defensive efforts. I look for Baylor to turn up the defensive intensity tonight and pull away for a decisive win. Keep in mind, this is a Baylor team that owns wins over #14 Villanova by 21, #10 Michigan State by 17, and at #15 Iowa State by 5. Bet on Baylor minus the points. |

01-10-22 | Georgia -2.5 v. Alabama | Top | 33-18 | Win | 100 | 8 h 48 m | Show |
Georgia vs. Alabama 8:27 PM ET Game# 287-288 Play On: Georgia -2.5 (10*) These teams squared off just 5 weeks ago in the SEC Championship game and Alabama won 41-24 as a 6.0-point underdog. The Crimson Tide offense racked up 536 yards versus the vaunted Georgia defense which included a huge day from Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Young who threw for 421 yards and 3 touchdowns. Despite that convincing win, Alabama is currently a 2.5-point underdog, and the public is betting on Alabama like it’s found money on their doorsteps. Even with that poor performance versus Alabama, Georgia’s defense still ranks #1 nationally in points allowed (9.5 PPG) and #2 in yards allowed (254.4 YPG). This elite stop unit was embarrassed versus Alabama and look for them to come up with a huge effort tonight. The Georgia defense has received a plethora of accolades all season and rightfully so. However, Georgia’s offense has quietly averaged a quite impressive 46.6 points scored, and 486.5 yards gained per game over its last 6 contests. That includes racking up 449 yards in the loss to Alabama. The first time these teams met Georgia entered that contest 12-0 and was 99.9% sure that even with a loss they were going to be in the 4-team College Football Playoffs. Conversely, Alabama didn’t have that same luxury since they already had 1 loss on their regular season resume and it was highly improbable they would be part of the 4-team field as a 2-loss team. As a result, the Crimson Tide played with a far higher degree of urgency and desperation than Georgia displayed. I’m betting on Georgia to turn the table on their SEC rival. Lastly, Georgia has lost their last 7 meetings with Alabama, and yet here they are still a favorite in a National Championship Game. Alabama in this matchup. Bet Georgia minus the small number. |

01-09-22 | Chargers v. Raiders +3 | Top | 32-35 | Win | 100 | 31 h 5 m | Show |
Chargers @ Raiders 8:20 PM ET Game# 481-482 Play On: Raiders +3.0 (10*) Whoever wins this game will be in the postseason parade and the loser won’t be a participant. The Chargers are coming off a 34-13 home win over Denver. Nevertheless, the Chargers are 1-4 SU&ATS in their last 5 following a win. Additionally, they’re 0-3 SU&ATS in their last 3 away games when they’re +3.0 to -3.0 and are coming off a win and were outscored by 12.7 points per contest. The Chargers have scored 28 points or more in each of their last 5 games. However, throughout their previous 3 contests, the Chargers defense has allowed 29.3 points and 417.3 yards per game. Moreover, since 2019, the Chargers are 0-6 SU on the road following a game in which they scored 30 points or more and lost by an average of 10.0 points per game. The Raiders are coming off a huge win at Indianapolis last Sunday which extended their unbeaten streak to 3 games. What’s eye catching to me is they won those 3 games despite being having a combined turnover margin of -7. What’s been their main catalyst is a defense that allowed 15.7 points and 218.7 yards per game during this current win streak. Las Vegas will also be out to revenge a 28-14 road loss to the Chargers earlier this season. I look for the Raiders to come up with a huge effort on Sunday night and give their newly ordained city of Las Vegas a taste of playoff football for a first time. Bet the Raiders plus the points. |

01-09-22 | Patriots v. Dolphins +6.5 | 24-33 | Win | 100 | 25 h 9 m | Show | |
Patriots @ Dolphins 4:25 PM ET Game# 455-456 Play On: Dolphins +6.5 (5*) Miami was eliminated from playoff contention after last week’s extremely poor performance which resulted in a 34-3 loss at Tennessee. However, there’s a high degree of certainty that the Dolphins aren’t going to just lay down on Sunday. Their track record since Brian Flores took over as head coach in 2019 is indicative of such. During Flores rookie campaign, Miami started 0-7 but rallied to go 5-4 over their last 9 contests. Last season, Miami began 1-3 but proceeded to win 9 of their next 11 games. This season, they started 1-7 then when on a 7-game win streak before last Sunday’s loss halted that hot run. For as much success as Bill Belichick has attained since becoming the head coach in New England, his teams have gone just 9-12 SU and 8-13 ATS in their games at Miami. That includes 2-6 SU&ATS in their last 8 trips to South Florida. Bet the Dolphins plus the points. |

01-09-22 | 49ers v. Rams -4 | 27-24 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 45 m | Show | |
49ers @ Rams 4:25 PM ET Game# 479-480 Play On: Rams -4.0 (5*) The 49ers need a win or a New Orleans loss to Atlanta to make the playoffs. Just because they need the game so badly, doesn’t mean the Rams are going to give it to them. Especially after Loss Angeles was embarrassed at San Francisco earlier this season during a 31-10 shellacking in which the 49ers dominating physically on both sides of the ball. They’ll not only be out to avenge that loss but are 0-5 in their last 5 versus their divisional in stater rival. Besides, with a win on Sunday the Rams clinch the NFC West Division and a #2 seed. I’m looking for an inspired effort by the Rams and for even more reasons that I already mentioned. Bet the Rams minus the points. |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Seahawks v. Cardinals -5.5 | 38-30 | Loss | -102 | 23 h 41 m | Show | |
Seahawks @ Cardinals 4:25 PM ET Game# 475-476 Play On: Cardinals -5.5 (5*) Arizona is still alive in the NFC West Division title chase and #2 seed but they must win for them to have any chance of that occurring. Regardless is they win the division or not, the Cardinals need to build some momentum and confidence going into the postseason. They took a step in the right direction last week with a huge win at Dallas as a 5.5-point underdog which snapped a 3-game losing skid. Arizona won at Seattle on 11/21 by a score of 23-13 and outgained the Seahawks by a wide 413-266 margin. Seattle is coming off a 51-29 home win over Detroit. Nevertheless, the Seahawks are 1-4 SU&ATS this season following a win with their lone win and cover in that precise situation coming against the hapless 4-12 Houston Texans. Kyler Murray will torch a Seahawks defense that’s allowing 270.4 yards passing per game which is 31st in the NFL. On the other hand, Arizona is #8 in passing offense at 255.6 yards per game. Bet Arizona minus the points. |

01-09-22 | Packers v. Lions +3.5 | 30-37 | Win | 100 | 22 h 30 m | Show | |
Packers @ Lions 1:00 PM ET Game# 451-452 Play On: Lions +3.5 (5*) Green Bay has already clinched the top seed in the NFC and a first-round bye in the upcoming playoffs. Barring something unforeseen, the Packers will rest or give limited playing time to key starters on Sunday in Detroit. Conversely, this is a Lions team that has fought hard this season for head coach Dan Campbell despite their many shortcomings and horrible 2-13-1 record. I don’t expect that kind of effort to wane in their regular season finale at home versus a bitter rival. The Lions are 4-0 ATS and 2-2 SU in its last 4 at home versus Green Bay. Detroit has also lost 5 games this season by 4 points or fewer. The Lions are coming off last week’s 51-29 SU&ATS loss at Seattle. Here’s a hidden gem of a trend, Detroit is 5-0 ATS this season following a game in which they failed to cover. The Lions are also 6-2 SU&ATS in their last 8 games overall. Bet Detroit plus the points. |

01-09-22 | Steelers v. Ravens -3.5 | 16-13 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 36 m | Show | |
Steelers @ Ravens 1:00 PM ET Game# 471-472 Play On: Ravens -3.5 (5*) The Ravens enter this week on a 5-game losing streak and their playoff chances hanging by a thread. Yet, they opened as a 6.5-point favorite versus a division rival who has scant playoff hopes as well. The Steelers did stay alive in the playoff hunt with a 26-14 home win over Cleveland last week. Nonetheless, Pittsburgh hasn’t won 2 in a row in a little over 2 months. The drastic line movement in this game is a result of Lamar Jackson being ruled doubtful to play. However, I have no trouble backing Ravens backup quarterback Tyle Huntley who has shown he’s plenty capable when given the opportunity this season. Public betting has backed the underdog Steelers in this matchup. There are worse ideas than betting against public money. Bet the Ravens minus the points. |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Titans -10 v. Texans | 28-25 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 45 m | Show | |
Titans @ Texans 1:00 PM ET Game# 463-464 Play On: Titans -10.0 (5*) I predict that Tennessee will jump on Houston early in this matchup and take the Texans will away. Beside the fact, they should’ve learned their lesson already after losing to Houston earlier this season as an identical 10.0-point favorite they currently are. With a #1 seed on the line, and playing with revenge, the Titans will be plenty motivated against the 4-12 Texans. This is a Houston team that’s scored 14 points or fewer on 9 occasions this season and failed to reach 300 yards of total offense in 9 of its last 14 games. They will be up against a Titans defense which has allowed 9.7 points and 251.3 yards over their previous 4 contests. Bet Tennessee minus the points. |

01-08-22 | Cowboys -3.5 v. Eagles | 51-26 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
Dallas @ Philadelphia 8:15 PM ET Game# 469-470 Play On: Dallas -3.5 (5*) Both teams will be missing key personnel via COVID protocols, illness, or injury. Philadelphia has clinched an NFL wildcard spot and it’s just a matter if they will be the #6 or #7 seed. The Eagles do head into this matchup on a 4-game win streak. However, those wins came against the Jets, Giants, and Football Team (Twice) who have a current combined record of 14-34. As a matter of fact, the Eagles don’t own a win all season versus a team who currently possesses a winning record. On the other hand, Dallas has clinched the NFC East Division, and they’re currently the #4 seed. They can move up to the #2 or #3 seed but they need to win and get a little bit of help. If the season ended today, Dallas would have a tough 1st round matchup versus either the Arizona Cardinals or Los Angeles Rams. All the Cowboys can do is control what they can control and that’s beating Philadelphia. They will do exactly that and by a decisive margin. Dallas has been a solid road team this season while going 6-2. Even more impressive was that 3 of their road opponents and 2 more are still alive for a postseason berth heading into this week. Furthermore, and most importantly, Dallas is a perfect 4-0 SU&ATS as a road favorite this season. Bet Dallas minus the points. |

01-08-22 | Bucks v. Hornets -117 | Top | 106-114 | Win | 100 | 5 h 32 m | Show |
Bucks @ Hornets 7:10 PM ET Game# 207-508 Play On: Hornets -117 (10*) Milwaukee is coming off a huge win last night at Brooklyn in a game they closed as a 4.5-point underdog. The Bucks are just 3-4 SU and 2-5 ATS this season when playing with no rest. Additionally, this will be the Bucks 3rd game in 4 days as well. Charlotte will have a sizable advantage tonight since they haven’t played since Tuesday’s 140-111 blowout home win over Detroit. The Hornets are now 8-2 SU and 9-1 ATS in their last 10 at home. Charlotte will also be out to revenge a 2-point loss at Milwaukee earlier this season in their only other meeting against the Bucks. Any NBA money line favorite that’s coming off a home win by 20 points or more, and they’re playing with same season revenge from a road loss, resulted in those teams going 61-12 throughout the previous 5 season including 5-0 during this current 2021-2022 slate. Bet the Hornets for a Top Play money line wager. |

01-08-22 | Iowa State v. Oklahoma -5.5 | 66-79 | Win | 100 | 17 h 41 m | Show | |
Iowa State @ Oklahoma 6:00 PM ET Game# 741-742 Play On: Oklahoma -5.5 (5*) Iowa State is 13-1, ranked #11 in the country, and their only loss was a 5-point setback versus #1 Baylor. Yet, they’re a 5.5-point dog versus an unranked Oklahoma (10-3) coming off a 10-point loss at Baylor. During their previous 5 contests Oklahoma shot 52.7% from the floor, converted on 40.7% of their 3-point attempts, and made 81.1% of its free throws. The Sooners are also an excellent defensive team that’s holding opponents to 61.8 points scored per game and 39.9% shooting. This is a fishy line to say the least. Gove me Oklahoma minus the points. |

Kansas City @ Denver 4:30 PM ET Game# 477-478 Play On: Denver +11.0 (5*) The Broncos limp into this regular season finale with a 7-9 record and have gone 0-3 SU&ATS in their last 3 games. The biggest issue has been an offense that produced 13 points or fewer in each of those defeats. On the other, the Broncos defense has been strong more times than not this season. As a matter of fact, heading into this week, Denver is #9 in total defense (322.1 YPG), #3 in scoring defense (18.4 PPG), and #7 in pass defense (212.3 YPG). If Denver’s offense is every going to get going it would be on Saturday versus a Kansas City defense that’s #26 in total defense, #27 in sacks, and #28 against the pass. The Kansas City defense is also coming off a game at Cincinnati where they allowed the Bengals to rack up 475 yards or total offense in a 34-31 loss. The Broncos lost at Kansas City 41-21 on 12/5. However, that final score is a bit misleading since Denver outgained Kansas City 464-267 in total yards but shot themselves in the foot with a turnover margin of -3. Since that loss, the Broncos have committed just 2 turnovers in 4 games. Bet Denver plus the points. |

Bradley @ Loyola-Chicago 4:00 PM ET Game# 693-694 Play On: Over 135.0 (5*) Bradley has played 5-0 to the over in its last 5 and there was a combined 144.8 points scored per game. Additionally, the Braves are 7-0 to the over in their last 7 this season whenever there was a total of 130.0 to 139.5. Loyola has played 5-0 to the over in line home games this season with a combined 151.0 points scored per game. The Ramblers have shot 49% or better in each of their previous 5 games. They’ve also converted on an excellent 41.9% of their 3-point shot attempts which is 4th nationally in that category. Bet this game to go over the total. |

Kansas @ Texas Tech 4:00 PM ET Game# 695-696 Play On: Texas Tech +4.5 (10*) #6 Kansas (12-1) has faced just 1 team this season currently in the Top 25 and that was in their season opener versus #10 Michigan State. Conversely, #25 Texas Tech (10-3) only 3 losses this season came at the hands of #16 Providence, #11 Iowa State, and #4 Gonzaga. The Red Raiders also own a win over #18 Tennessee. Since the start of the 2017-2018 season, Texas Tech has gone 68-10 at home and that includes 8-0 in their current campaign. The Red Raiders are a terrific defensive team that is 9th nationally in field goal percentage defense and #11 in scoring defense. We have a team with a strong home court which holds opponents to less than 40% shooting, allows less than 60 points per game, and has an extremely strong court. Bet on Texas Tech plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

Colorado State @ San Diego State 4:00 PM ET Game# 805-806 Play On: San Diego State -2.5 (5*) Colorado State is ranked #20 in the nation and has a perfect 11-0 record. Nonetheless, they’re currently a small underdog versus an unranked 9-3 San Diego State team. The Aztecs are a perfect 7-0 at home and are a terrific defensive team. They enter this contest on a 4-game win streak in which they allowed only 55.2 points per game and opponents shot an abysmal 35.7% from the field. Furthermore, San Diego State has faced a more difficult |

Sacramento @ Denver 9:10 PM ET Game# 573-574 Play On: Over 225.5 (5*) Denver has played 5-1 to the over in its last 6 at home and those contests averaged a combined 226.3 points scored per contest. Conversely, Sacramento has played 6-2 to the over in their last 6 on the road and there was a combined average of 234.4 points scored per game. This will be the first meeting of the season between these teams. They faced each other 3 times last season and each of those contests went over the total with a combined 238.0 points scored per game. This shapes up to be a perfect storm for a high scoring and entertaining game to watch. Bet this game to go over the total. |

Dallas @ Houston 8:10 PM ET Game# 567-568 Play On: Under 215.0 (5*) Dallas has seen each of their previous 5 stay under the total and there just a combined 190.2 points scored per game. During that stretch, the Mavericks allowed a mere 89.6 points per contest while limiting opponents to only 16 free throw attempts per game. They’ll be facing a Houston team which has played 15-4 to the over in its last 16 outings. Something must give in terms of the contrasting styles between these teams. I’m betting on Dallas to force a slower tempo than Houston prefers to play it and to impose their will defensively. The Mavericks will be without its 2 best players tonight on Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. They have combined to average 45.6 points, 16.0 rebounds, and 11.3 assists per game this season. Bet this game to go under the total. |

Minnesota @ Oklahoma City 8:10 PM ET Game# 569-570 Play On: Over 218.0 (5*) These teams just met on Wednesday night in Minnesota and the Timberwolves walked away with a 98-90 win. That contest easily stayed under the total of 217.5. Yet, the oddsmakers seem unfazed by that result in addition to the fact that Oklahoma City has scored 97 points or fewer in each of their previous 4 games, and when considering we are looking at a nearly identical total for today’s matchup. Furthermore, Minnesota has gone over the total in 5 straight on the road following an under in their previous contest, and there was a combined average of 230.0 points scored per game. Bet this game to go over the total. |

Marquette @ Georgetown 6:30 PM ET Game# 861-862 Play On: Georgetown +2.5 (10*) Unranked Marquette is coming off a resounding 32-point home win over #16 Providence. We must keep things in perspective before overreacting to that blowout win which did indeed end a 4-game Marquette losing streak. Conversely, Georgetown is coming off a 80-73 home loss to TCY which put a halt to a 3-game Hoyas win streak. Marquette has played the much stronger schedule and has a better record than Georgetown. Yet, they’re just a tiny favorite in this matchup. It’s rarely that easy when it comes to sports betting. Bet Georgetown plus the small number for a Top Play wager. |

USC @ California 11:00 PM ET Game# 835-836 Play On: California +5.5 (10*) USC enters this contest with unbeaten 12-0 record and ranked #7 in the country. Nevertheless, they will be facing a red-hot California team which has won 5 straight and by an average of 17.6 points per game. During this current win streak, Cal is allowing just 52.8 points per game and held their opponents to a miserable 34.9% shooting from the field. Additionally, throughout their 5-game win streak Call has converted on a terrific 39.5% of its 3-point shot attempts and is a +10 rebound per game differential. Lastly, Cal was upset in their home opener by UC-Sam Diego, and since that time has reeled off 9 consecutive wins in Berkely while covering 8 of those contests. Bet California plus the points for a Top Play wager. |

UAB @ North Texas 8:00 PM ET Game# 771-772 Play On: North Texas -125 (5*) North Texas is currently on a 6-game win streak and allowed a mere 54 points or fewer in each of those contests. Since the start of last season, North Texas has gone 11-1 SU after allowing 65 points or less in each of their previous 2 games. Since the 2019-2020 season began, North Texas is an unblemished 8-0 SU at home in January and their average victory margin was a mammoth 20.9 points per contest. Bet North Texas for a money line wager. |

Ohio State @ Indiana 7:00 PM ET Game# 749-750 Play On: Indiana -3.5 (5*) Ohio State is ranked #13 nationally yet find themselves as an underdog versus unranked Indiana. However, they will be facing a Hoosiers team which is a perfect 9-0 at home this season and covered 7 of those 9 contests. Indiana is coming off a 61-58 upset loss at Penn State in their previous game which dropped their season record to 10-3. The Hoosiers followed their previous 2 defeats by going 2-0 SU&ATS and with a substantial average victory margin of 20.6 points per game. The Hoosiers are an excellent defensive team which is allowing just 61.6 points per game this season. Indiana has allowed 64 points or fewer in each of its previous 6 games. Bet Indiana minus the points. |

Their only setback during that time was a 98-69 blowout loss to #16 Kentucky in a game played on a neutral floor in Las Vegas. That was the same Kentucky team that just 7 days earlier lost at Notre Dame 66-62 as a 4.5-point favorite. By the way, Notre Dame is a perfect 5-0 at home this season.

Alabama @ Florida 7:00 ET Game# 675-676 Play On: Florida -118 (5*) #15 Alabama comes off a quality win at home over #18 Tennessee. However, the Crimson Tide has stumbled on a few occasions and against unranked teams. Their 3 losses came versus Iona, Memphis, and Davidson. This will be just their 2nd true road game of the season and they lost by 14 at Memphis in the other. Now they face another unranked team in Florida today and the oddsmakers have them as a pick'em or underdog in this contest. Look for the Gators to come up big at home tonight.

Ole Miss @ Tennessee 7:00 PM ET Game# 697-698 Play On: Tennessee -16.5 (5*) This line jumped off the page at me as a heavy number. Granted Tennessee (9-3) is ranked #18 nationally. However, they'll be facing an Ole Miss team with a respectable 8-4 record. This appears to be a huge invitation by the sportsbooks to take the double-digit underdog in this SEC clash. They won't be receiving an RSVP from me. This will be the first true road game for Ole Miss this season. The Rebels have played 4 games on a neutral floor this season and went 1-3 SU&ATS in those contests. Tennessee is coming off a 5-point loss at #15 Alabama. Their only other 2 defeats this season have come versus #19 Villanova and #25 Texas Tech. The Volunteers are 2-0 SU&ATS following a loss this season. The Vols secured a substantial win in their previous home game over #8 Arizona. This is certainly a substantial number to lay but justified. Bet Alabama minus the points. |

Kings @ Lakers 10:35 PM ET Game# 529-530 Play On: Kings +6.5 (10*) The Lakers are coming off home wins in their last 2 outings which halted a 1-6 SU&ATS losing run. However, since the start of last season, the Lakers are an abysmal 1-12 ATS following home wins in each of their previous 2 games, and they were outscored by an average of 4.1 points per contest. Furthermore, since the start of the last season, the Lakers are a money-draining 3-12 ATS during division home games. Sacramento enters today having gone a more than respectable 3-1 SU&ATS in their last 4 games. The most recent of which was Sunday’s 2-point win over Miami. Since the start of the 2019-2020 season, the Kings are an extremely profitable 14-3 ATS on the road following a win by 6 points or fewer. Bet the Kings plus the points for a Top Play wager. |

LSU vs. Kansas State 9:00 PM ET Game# 285-286 Play On: LSU +7.5 (5*) LSU will be missing several players for various reasons in addition to playing with an interim coaching staff. However, there’s still enough talented players and quality depth for them to make this an extremely close game if not pulling off an outright upset. The Tigers defense showed vast improvement in the final third of their regular season schedule. Specifically speaking, LSU held their last 4 opponents 18.5 points and 299.5 yards gained per game. It’s not like they were facing all creampuffs over that stretch with 3 of those contests coming against #1 Alabama, #8 Ole Miss, and #23 Texas A&M. The Bayou Bengals stop unit will be going against a Kansas State offense that was held under 300 total yards in each of their previous 3 games. Bet LSU plus the points. |

Oklahoma @ Baylor 7:00 PM ET Game# 617-618 Play On: Baylor -12.0 (5*) Despite Baylor being ranked #1 in the country, this still seems like an extremely heavy line against a good Oklahoma team who enters today with an 11-2 record. The sportsbooks are begging you to take the underdog in this spot. However, I am going the opposite way. The major contributing factor to covering this game is Baylor’s ability to force turnovers and Oklahoma’s high turnover rate thus far. Bet Baylor minus the points. |

Kentucky @ LSU 7:00 PM ET Game# 621-622 Play On: LSU -130 (5*) #16 Kentucky will be playing in just their 2nd true road game of the season. They didn’t fair well the first time around in a SU favorite loss to unranked Notre Dame. #21 LSU will be in a sour mood after suffering their first loss of the season in their previous game at #9 Auburn. LSU is 8-0 SU&ATS on their home floor this season while winning by a massive 32.7 points per game. Bet LSU for a money line wager. |

Illinois @ Minnesota 7:00 PM ET Game# 715-716 Play On: Illinois -7.0 (5*) This line makes no sense whatsoever and when that occurs, I like to go against public perception. Minnesota is at home and is off to a terrific 10-1 start to the season. Yet they find themselves as a sizable home underdog versus an unranked Illinois team which is 9-3. Nonetheless, Illinois is 7-1 SU in their last 8 and their only defeat in that span came by 4 versus #8 Arizona. These teams met twice last season and Illinois easily prevailed on both occasions 94-63 and 92-65. Bet Illinois minus the points. |

Wisconsin @ Purdue 7:00 PM ET Game# 867-868 Play On: Purdue -12.5 (10*) We have two nationally ranked teams squaring off in this matchup. The #3 Purdue Boilermakers (12-1) enters this contest as a double-digit favorite versus the #23 Wisconsin Badgers (10-2). Purdue is 8-0 at home this season while winning by a substantial margin of 28.0 points per game. The Boilermakers have shot 50% or better in 10 of 13 games this season and have made an impressive 41.1% of their 3 point-shot attempts on the year. Purdue is also a dominant rebounding team at +14 per game in that category. The Badgers aren’t a great offensive nor rebounding team. Considering these are 2 ranked teams, this is a heavy line in which the sportsbooks are begging you to take the double-digit underdog. I’m not falling for the trap. Give me Purdue minus the points for a Top Play wager. |

Broncos @ Chargers 4:05 PM ET Game# 121-122 Play On: Chargers -7.5 (10*) These teams met just 5 weeks in Denver and the Broncos walked away with an easy 28-10 win. Yet, the oddsmakers weren’t deterred by that result based in this current point-spread. Additionally, Denver is coming off a pir of deflating losses 15-10 versus Cleveland and 17-13 to Las Vegas. That really put a dent into their postseason hopes and their overall confidence level. Los Angeles is also coming off losses to Houston 41-29 as a 13.0-point road favorite and in overtime to Kansas City. As a result, the Chargers are on the outside of the playoff bubble looking in with an 8-7 record. The Chargers will be facing a Denver team which has struggled to score at times this season. As a matter of fact, Denver has scored 13 points or fewer in 6 of their last 12 games. That hasn’t been the Chargers problem of late. During their last 4 outings, Los Angeles has averaged 33.8 points scored and 407.8 yards gained per game. NFL betting history show that teams like the Chargers in this exact situation have passed the test with flying colors. Any division favorite of 4.5 or greater that’s playing with revenge, and they’re coming off a non-division straight up favorite loss by 10 points or more, resulted in those favorites going 16-0 ATS since 1985. Furthermore, they won those contests by an enormous 20.3 points per game and their average line was -7.2. Bet the Chargers minus the points for a Top Play wager. |

Atlanta @ Buffalo 1:00 PM ET Game# 107-108 Play On: Buffalo -14.5 (5*) Atlanta is coming off a narrow 20-16 home win over hapless Detroit Lions (2-12-1) which improved their season record to 7-8 and still alive for an NFC wildcard spot. However, Atlanta has beaten just 1 team that currently has a winning record, and that was Miami (8-7). The Falcons have gone a dismal 0-4 SU&ATS in their last 4 following a win and were outscored by an average of 19.3 points per game. Buffalo enters this week 9-6, leading the AFC East, and coming off a huge win at New England last Sunday. Some will say they’re vulnerable to a flat spot. I disagree with that idea. It’s not like the Bills win over New England came in Week 8. Heading into their final 2 games both at home knowing with wins they clinch the AFC East Division for a 2nd year in a row. Buffalo also learned their lesson earlier this season when they lost at Jacksonville as a double-digit favorite. Furthermore, all 9 Buffalo wins have come by 12 points or more, and they have outscored their opponents by an average of 10.9 points per game which is #1 in that category amongst all NFL teams. Lastly, Buffalo is 3-0 SU&ATS this season as a double-digit home favorite and with an average victory margin of 24.0 points per game. Bet Buffalo minus the points. |

Chiefs @ Bengals 1:00 PM ET Game# 115-116 Play On: Bengals +4.5 (5*) Cincinnati will play with a higher degree of urgency and desperation in this contest than Kansas City will display. The Chiefs have won 8 consecutive games and has already clinched the AFC West Division. Yes, they are only 1.0 game ahead of Tennessee for the top AFL seed with the Titans holding the tiebreaker. Nevertheless, the Chiefs have been a great road team in recent seasons and are a much better team than Tennessee at this juncture. The point being, Kansas City comes into this contest knowing they have a lot of room for error and very little to lose. On the other hand, Cincinnati can clinch the AFC North with a win on Sunday. If they lose, then it’s a regular season finale at Cleveland which could hinge on even making the playoffs. Bet the Bengals plus the points. |

Dolphins @ Titans 1:00 PM ET Game# 119-120 Play On: Dolphins +3.5 Tennessee (10-5) may possess the better record in this matchup, but you can make a strong cast that presently Miami (8-7) is the superior team. After a 1-7 start, Miami has won 7 straight games and covered on 6 of those occasions. The Dolphins sizzling hot run has catapulted them to the AFC #7 seed and final wildcard spot. Even with that, Miami knows they have very little if any room for error. I’ve been saying this for weeks now, without Derek Henry, Tennessee is a fraudulent Super Bowl contender. This upcoming result will exemplify just that. Bet the Dolphins plus the points. |

Rams @ Ravens 1:00 PM ET Game# 127-128 Play On: Over 46.5 (5*) The once proud Baltimore defense has been anything but on several occasions. Last week at Cincinnati was one of those times. They lost that contest in a decisive manner 41-21 while allowing Cincinnati to rack up 575 yards of total offense. The Ravens have allowed 31 points or more on 6 separate occasions this season. Baltimore has used 3 different starting quarterbacks the last 3 weeks yet each of those contests went over the total and with a combined 56.3 points scored per game. Conversely, Los Angeles has gone over the total in each of their previous 3 road contests with a combined average of 57.7 points scored per game. The Rams have scored 26 points or more in 7 of their 8 road games. Regardless of who’s at quarterback for Baltimore, bet this game to go over the total. |

Baylor vs. Ole Miss 8:45 PM ET Game# 283-284 Play On: Over 55.5 (5*) This has all the earmarks of an entertaining and high scoring game. I make that statement despite Baylor having gone under in each of their last 4 and Ole Miss going under in 7 straight leading up to this 2022 Sugar Bowl matchup. Nonetheless, it’s important to note, those last 7 Ole Miss contests had an average total of 68.9. Ole Miss has averaged 35.9 points scored and 506.7 yards gained per game this season. The Rebels play at a frantic offensive pace which has seen them average 78 plays per game. This will be the lowest total of the season for Ole Miss with their previous low 58.0 versus Texas A&M. As a matter of fact, 11 of 12 Ole Miss games had a total of 64.5 or greater. Ole Miss has a potential 2022 #1 NFL draft choice in quarterback Matt Corral. All Corral has done this season is throw for 3339 yards and 20 touchdowns this season. Additionally, Corral also ran for an eye-catching 597 yards and 11 touchdowns. The Baylor defense has received much acclaim this season and rightfully so. But their offense has been no slouch while averaging 32.5 points scored and 430.2 yards gained per game. Furthermore, the Bears will be facing a suspect Ole Miss defense which has allowed 428.8 yards per game. Bet this game to go over the total. |

Nevertheless, they failed to even reach the Big 10 Championship Game and were dominated in a 42-27 loss to Michigan during their regular season finale. The Buckeyes will be missing their top 2 wide receivers in this contest who combined to score 25 touchdowns and amass just shy of 2000 receiving yards this season. Utah has won its first ever PAC-12 Championship in football and will be making their Rose Bowl debut. There’s no doubt in my mind they’ll have an emotional edge in this game as a result. Not to mention, Utah enters this contest on a 6-game win streak which included a pair of blowout wins over #15 Oregon. All 3 Utah losses this season have come by single-digit margins. Bet Utah plus the points for my “Bowl Game of the Year”. |

01-01-22 | Providence v. DePaul +1.5 | 70-53 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 12 m | Show | |
Providence @ DePaul 3:00 ET Game# 651-652 Play On: DePaul +1.5 (5**) Providence enters this game nationally ranked and on a 7-game win streak. Yet, the oddsmakers deem this to be virtually an even game against unranked DePaul. The Blue Demons are coming off a 63-59 conference loss at Butler in their previous game. However, DePaul has gone an outstanding 7-1 SU&ATS at home this season while outscoring opponents by 16.0-points per game. This looks like a prime spot for the home team to make a statement. Bet on DePaul. |

01-01-22 | Oklahoma State v. Notre Dame OVER 44.5 | 37-35 | Win | 100 | 25 h 59 m | Show | |
Notre Dame vs. Oklahoma State 1:00 PM ET Game# 277-278 Play On: Over 44.5 (5*) Notre Dame’s defense was terrific during the final stretch of regular season action. However, 6 of their last 7 games were against teams that finished the season with a losing record. The Notre Dame offense has been consistently productive this season. The Fighting Irish have scored 27 points or more in 11 of 12 games this season. The only time they didn’t reach that 27-point barrier occurred in a 24-13 home loss to #4 Cincinnati which occurred way back on 10/2. Oklahoma State is coming off a 21-16 loss to Baylor in the Big 12 Conference Championship Game which snapped a 5-game win streak. That contest also stayed under the total of 45.0. Oklahoma State has played 3-0 to the over in their last 3 after going under in their previous 3 games. Those 3 contests ha- an average total of 52.5 and there was a combined 69.3 points scored per game. Here’s a college football totals betting angle which is highly profitable and fits perfectly in this matchup. Any college football (Oklahoma State) that’s playing in January with a total of 42.5 to 49.0, and they won 4 of its last 5 games, resulted in those teams playing 30-5 (85.7%) to the over since 1992. The average total in those 35 contests was 46.6 and there was a combined 56.5 points scored per game. Bet on this game to go over the total. |

Kentucky vs. Iowa 1:00 PM ET Game# 279-280 Play On: Kentucky -3.0 (5*) Iowa is coming off a humiliating 42-3 loss to Michigan in the Big 10 Championship game. As good as Iowa’s record is, the Hawkeyes have failed to record a win versus a current Top 25 team this season. Iowa’s offensive production has left a lot to be desired. The Hawkeyes scored 17 points or fewer in 4 of its last 7 games and they have averaged only 293.7 yards gained per contest this season. This is an intriguing matchup between #25 Kentucky (9-3) and #17 Iowa (10-3). Yet, the lower ranked Kentucky Wildcats are the favorite and I trust the oddsmakers unequivocally more than the pollsters. Kentucky finished the season on a 3-game win streak in which they outscored those opponents by a combined 142-54. Kentucky went 3-0 SU&ATS this season as a favorite of 6.0 or less. The Wildcats will be more excited and ready to play in the New Year’s Day bowl game. Bet Kentucky minus the points. |

Penn State vs. Arkansas 12:00 PM ET Game# 275-276 Play On: Penn State +2.5 (5*) Penn State may be 7-5 but they’re a lot better than their record indicates. All 5 of the Nittany Lions losses came by single digit margins and that includes 4 defeats by 4 points or fewer. Their last 3 losses came against #7 Ohio State (10-2) by 9, #2 Michigan (12-1) by 3, and #11 Michigan State (11-2) by 3. They also lost to #17 Iowa (10-3). Conversely, Arkansas started the season 4-0 and went just 4-4 in their final 4 games. Arkansas is a run-heavy offense which is verified by 64.7% of their offensive snaps being rushing attempts. They Razorbacks will have their hands full against a Penn State defense that has allowed only 106 yards rushing per game and a mere 3.1 yards per attempt. Bet Penn State plus the points. |

12-31-21 | Georgia -7.5 v. Michigan | Top | 34-11 | Win | 101 | 25 h 44 m | Show |
Georgia vs. Michigan 7:30 PM ET Game# 269-270 Play On: Georgia -7.5 (10*) Michigan has been a nice story this season in a year that head coach Jim Harbaugh entered on the proverbial hot seat. The former Wolverines quarterback has his team peaking at the right time. Here’s where the issue for me comes in with regards to backing Michigan. The Wolverines have run the ball on 60% of their offensive plays this season and they’ll be facing a Georgia defense which allows just 82.2 rushing yards per game. The Bulldogs stop units is also tied for 4th nationally with 42 sacks. Georgia was embarrassed in their 41-24 SEC Championship Game loss to Alabama. Nevertheless, I’m willing to give them a pass since win or lose they 100% knew a college football playoff invitation awaited. Georgia was a 6.0-point favorite in that defeat. The good news, Georgia is 4-0 SU&ATS this season immediately following a game in which they failed to cover. They won those 4 contests by a substantial average of 39.5 points per game. The Alabama game was the first time all season that Georgia allowed more than 17 points. The Bulldogs defense has received much acclaim this season and rightfully so. But don’t sleep on the Georgia offense which scored 41 points or more in 4 of their last 5 and collected 449 yards or greater on each occasion. Bet Georgia minus the points for a Top Play wager. |

12-31-21 | Cincinnati +13.5 v. Alabama | 6-27 | Loss | -104 | 21 h 35 m | Show | |
Cincinnati vs. Alabama 3:30 PM ET Game# 273-24 Play On: Cincinnati +13.5 (5*) I’m among the minority of people who thinks Cincinnati is more than capable of giving Alabama all it can handle in this College Football Playoff Semifinal. Granted, the Crimson Tide routed then #1 Georgia in the SEC Championship game 41-24 while amassing 556 yards of total offense. However, Georgia’s defensive strength is their front 7. Their secondary was exposed against Alabama’s Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Bryce Young who threw for 421 yards and 3 touchdowns. Young has been off the charts good this season. However, the Cincinnati secondary is amongst the finest in all of college football. The Bearcats ranked #2 nationally in passing yards allowed and has a pair of cornerbacks that will be playing on Sundays in the NFL. Cincinnati has a hidden gem of a quarterback in 4-year starter Desmon Ritter who accounted for a combined 36 touchdowns this season running and passing. Ritter has rushed for over 2000 yards and 25 touchdowns in his college career which brings an added dimension for Alabama’s defense to deal with. I wouldn’t be shocked to see this game go right down to the wire and possibly even an outright upset. Nonetheless, I won’t get greedy and take the generous number being afforded to me. Bet Cincinnati plus the points. |

12-30-21 | Pittsburgh +3.5 v. Michigan State | Top | 21-31 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
Michigan State vs. Pittsburgh 7:00 PM ET Game# 259-260 Play On: Pittsburgh +3.5 (10*) Both teams will be without their top offensive player. Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett is a potential 1st round draft choice who opted out for risk of injury. All Picket did this season was throw for 4319 yards and 42 touchdowns. Michigan State will be without star running back Kenneth Walker III. Walker rushed for 1646 yards and 18 touchdowns this season while averaging a lofty 6.2 yards per carry. It comes down to this for me when handicapping this game. Which difference can make the difference between winning and losing? The answer to this then becomes simple. I unequivocally trust Pitt’s defense more than that of today’s opponent. Pitt is #40 in total defense, #6 in rush defense, and #2 in sacks nationally. Conversely, Michigan State is #117 out of 130 college football FBS teams in total defense and dead last in pass yards allowed. Bet Pittsburgh plus the points for a Top Play wager. |

Michigan @ Central Florida 7:00 PM ET Game# 737-738 Play On: Central Florida +3.0 (5*) UCF will be out to atone for last season’s 80-58 blowout loss at Michigan. The Golden Knights have gone 8-2 thus far with its only defeats coming to Oklahoma by 3 and at #11 Auburn (12-1). As a matter of fact, UCF will enter today’s game on a 4-game win streak while covering 3 of those contests. The Golden Knights have converted on a terrific 79.4% of their free throws this season. Conversely, Michigan State has made just 66.8% of their free throw attempts. Additionally, UCF is #29 national in forcing turnovers and Michigan State is #332 out of 357 Division 1 teams in that identical category. Bet Central Florida plus the points. |

Oregon vs. Oklahoma 9:15 PM ET Game# 253-254 Play On: Oklahoma -6.5 (5*) Both teams lost their head coach following their final regular season game. Lincoln Riley left Oklahoma for the USC job and Oregon’s Mario Cristobal bolted for the Miami Fla. job. I think Oklahoma made a brilliant motivational move by bringing in legendary former Sooners head coach Bob Stoops to take over during this interim period. Besides the loss of Cristobal, Oregon is a shell of the team which we saw upset Ohio State on the road earlies this season and was in the playoff hunt until late in the season. Bet Oklahoma minus the points. |

Western Illinois @ Iowa 8:00 PM ET Game# 681-682 Play On: Western Illinois +18.5 (5*) This is a veteran Western Illinois team that’s gone 10-3 this season. Their 3 defeats came by a combined 14 points. They own a win over Nebraska in their season opener in a game they closed as a 17.0-point underdog. Iowa (9-3) recently fell out of the Top 25 after going through a stretch in which they lost 3 straight including go 0-2 versus fellow Big 10 opponents. With a conference game up next at home versus Maryland, look for the Hawkeyes to not not be at their sharpest tonight. Bet Western Illinois plus the points. |

Wake Forest @ Louisville 8:00 PM ET Game# 691-692 Play On: Louisville -4.5 (5*) Wake Forest is off to an 11-1 start to the season but is still unranked. Now they find themselves as a road underdog versus a Louisville team with an uninspiring 7-4 record and coming off a 10-point loss at Western Kentucky. During the past 3 season, the Cardinals have gone 6-0 SU&ATS at home following a loss by 10 or more and they won by an average of 17.5 points per game. Additionally, Louisville is an unscathed 3-0 SU&ATS this season following a loss with an average victory margin of 16.0 points per game. The sportsbooks and oddsmakers are begging you to take the road underdog in this contest. I’m not falling for the trap. Bet Louisville minus the points. |

Seton Hall @ Providence 7:00 ET Game# 663-664 Play On: Providence +1.5 (5*) This is a marquee game between #15 Seaton Hall (9-1) and #21 Providence (11-1). Providence is 8-0 at home this season while outscoring opponents by an average of 12.9 points per game. The Friars have posted quality wins over #25 Texas Tech, #24 Wisconsin, and over a solid UConn team that had been nationally ranked up until the most recent poll. Providence has been terrific defensively throughout their previous 5 contests while holding opponents to 56.8 points score per game and 35.8% shooting from the floor. Bet on Providence. |

Iowa State vs. Clemson 5:45 PM ET Game# 251-252 Play On: Iowa State +2.5 (10*) #19 Clemson (9-3) and enters this Cheez-It Bowl on a 5-game win streak. Yet, they’re less than a field goal favorite versus unranked Iowa State (7-5). That’s all I need to know and especially considering that Iowa State opened as a favorite in this matchup. Iowa State will be without star running back Breece Hall who opted out to prepare for the NFL draft. However, they still have 4-year starting quarterback Brock Purdy who will be playing his final game in a Cyclones uniform. Bet on Iowa State plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

DePaul @ Butler 5:00 PM ET Game# 641-642 Play On: Butler -125 (10*) DePaul enters this Big East Conference game with a stellar 9-1 record. However, they find themselves as an underdog against a 7-4 Butler team. That doesn’t make much sense when just comparing each team’s season record. However, 3 of Butler’s defeats came at the hands of #3 Purdue (11-1), #12 Houston (11-2), and #10 Michigan State (10-2). DePaul’s lone defeat came against unranked Loyola-Chicago and the Blue Demons have yet to face a ranked team this season. Bet Butler for a Top Play money line wager. |

12-29-21 | Maryland -3.5 v. Virginia Tech | 54-10 | Win | 100 | 4 h 32 m | Show | |
Virginia Tech vs. Maryland 2:15 PM ET Game# 249-250 Play On: Maryland -3.5 (5*) Virginia Tech has lost numerous players via the transfer portal or opting out to prepare for the NFL draft. They will also have to reach way down the depth chart at quarterback after their starter entered the transfer portal and the backup is unavailable as well. Additionally, the Hokies will be playing with an interim head coach due to Justin Fuentes getting fired late in the year and their entire coaching staff is operating in lame duck status. The Hokies finished the season with an upset win over Virginia. However, Virginia Tech has gone 0-4 SU&ATS in their last 4 games this season immediately following a loss. Maryland started the season 4-0 and then last 6 of its next 7 games before defeating Rutgers in their last contest to become bowl eligible at 6-6. The Terrapins aren’t very good defensively, but they did score 31 points or more in 7 of its last 8 games, and they’re #14 nationally in passing yards at 307.1 per game. Bet Maryland minus the points. |

West Virginia vs. Minnesota 10:15 PM ET Game# 245-246 Play On: West Virginia +5.5 (5*) This line makes no sense. Minnesota is 8-4 and less than a touchdown favorite versus a 5-6 West Virginia team who went 2-6 versus teams playing in a bowl game. The Mountaineers enter this Guaranteed Rate Bowl game with some momentum after winning their final 2 regular season contest and surprisingly ending up in a bowl game despite their losing record. You can make a strong case that West Virginia will be far more motivated to play in this bowl game than Minnesota will be. Bet West Virginia plus the points. |

Air Force vs. Louisville 3:15 PM ET Game# 239-240 Play On: Louisville +1.5 (5*) Louisville has played a much tougher regular season schedule than Air Force has and that will pay dividends in this matchup. The oddsmakers and sportsbooks see this as an even matchup despite Louisville being 6-6 and Air Force at 9-3. Those season record disparities and this current line can mislead the novice sports bettors out there. Thankfully, I’m not in that category. Bet on Louisville. |

Houston vs. Auburn 12:00 PM ET Game# 237-238 Play On: Auburn -120 (10*) This line makes no sense whatsoever. Whenever this scenario occurs my antennas go up and usually results in me identifying a trap play. This is exactly what I deem this to be. Houston enters this Birmingham Bowl matchup with a superb 11-2 record and #21 national ranking. Yet they’re the underdog versus an Auburn team that’s 6-6 and has lost 4 straight games. If there was a silver lining during this current Auburn tailspin, it’s they took #1 Alabama to double overtime before losing by 2. Auburn has unequivocally played the tougher scheduled compared to Houston, and this bowl game is being played in their home state of Alabama. The sportsbooks are begging you to take the ranked underdog in this contest. My answer to them is no thank you. Bet Auburn on the money line for a Top Play wager. |

Those 5 contests had a combined 247.2 points scored per game. Furthermore, during their previous 5 contests, the Spurs averaged 128.0 points scored per game while shooting 49.3% and includes 41.4% from 3-point territory. San Antonio has also played 12-2-2 to the over at home this season and 8-1 (236.3 PPG) if the number was 220.0 or greater. Utah has played 14-4 to the over in their last 18 games and includes 5-1 over on the road. The Jazz have scored 120 points or more in each of its last 7 against fellow Western Conference teams. Utah will be out to atone for a 128-126 home loss to San Antonio earlier this season in a contest that easily sailed over the total of 226.0.

During their previous 3 contests, Brown scored 73.3 points per game and shot a sizzling hot 52.5% from the field. Syracuse has played 3-1 to the over at home this season and their own offensive prowess was a key contributing factor to those high scoring contests. During those 4 at home, Syracuse shot a combined 50.6% from the field, made 41.4% of its 3-point attempts, converted on 80.5% of its free throws, and had an awesome 18:10 assist to turnover ratio. Bet this game to go over the total. |

Denver @ Las Vegas 4:25 PM ET Game# 477-478 Play On: Denver (-103) (10*) The loser of this contest for all intents and purposes will be eliminated from postseason contention. Las Vegas is coming off a 16-14 last second win at Cleveland but failed to cover as a 2.5-point favorite versus a COVID ridden Browns team. Throughout the previous 3 season, the Raiders are 0-9 straight up at home following an ATS loss and were outscored by 12.3 points per contest. During that identical time span, the Raiders are 0-6 SU at home in December. Lastly, Las Vegas is also 0-3 SU&ATS in their last 3 home games this season and were outscored by 16.0 points per contest. Denver is coming off a tough 15-10 home loss to Cincinnati. Nevertheless, the Broncos are 3-0 SU&ATS in their last 3 following a loss and won by a decisive margin of 16.7 points per game. Denver has endured their fair share of offensive struggles this season. Nonetheless, they’re 3-1 SU&ATS this season following a game in which they scored 14 points or fewer. The Broncos will also be out to revenge an earlier season 34-24 home loss to Denver. I’m of the strong opinion that they’re in a prime spot to get that done on Sunday. Bet Denver for a Top Play wager. |

Detroit @ Atlanta 1:00 PM ET Game# 463-464 Play On: Detroit +7.0 (5*) The Falcons are coming off back-to-back road games. The Falcons are 6-8 but a an abysmal 0-5 SU&ATS at home while being outscored by an average of 14.8 points per contest. During the past 3 seasons, Atlanta is 2-14 SU and 3-13 ATS in conference home games. All previously mentioned is hardly a stellar resume for the touchdown home favorite. Detroit looks to continue building on positives in what has been otherwise a terrible season. After beginning the season with 8 straight losses, the Lions are a respectable 2-3-1 SU and more importantly from a betting viewpoint an extremely profitable 5-1 ATS. Furthermore, despite being winless on the road, the Lions are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 away games. Bet Detroit plus the points. |

LA Rams @ Minnesota 1:00 PM ET Game# 467-468 Play On: Minnesota +3.5 (5*) The Rams are 3-0 SU&ATS in their last 3 and are now tied with Arizona for the NFC West Division lead with both teams at 10-4. However, since 2019, and all under current head coach Sean McVeigh, the Rams are a dismal 1-6 ATS and 2-5 SU in road games following 2 or more consecutive wins. Since Mike Zimmer took over as head coach in Minnesota, the Vikings are 28-11 SU and 26-13 ATS in regular season non-division home games. That team trend with Zimmer takes on even more added significance in this case since the Vikings are an underdog of better than a field goal. Furthermore, I’m of the opinion that this matchup gives a slight edge to Minnesota regarding the degree of urgency and desperation at stake. There’s on thing for certain, with or without Dalvin Cook, this is the best looking 7-7 team I’ve seen in quite some time. Bet Minnesota plus the points. |

Buffalo @ New England 1:00 PM ET Game# 471-472 Play On: Buffalo +2.5 (5*) New England is at home, has a 1.0-game lead over Buffalo in the AFC East, is 7-1 in their last 8, and just won at Buffalo 14-10 during a Week 13 Monday night nationally televised game. Additionally, they embarrassed the Bills by winning despite throwing a mere 3 passes in the contest. Yet, here they are as less than a field goal favorite at home in a game if they win would result in an AFC East title. Think like an oddsmaker in this spot. He’s set the bait for bettors to perceive New England as being a logical pick. I have no problem being illogical just this once (laugh). Bet Buffalo plus the small number. |

Recent NFL betting history shows that all teams that were precisely in Arizona’s situation that there are in tonight have won straight up on an extremely high percentage of the time. That specific NFL betting angle is displayed below. Any NFL money line home favorite that’s coming off an ATS loss in which they failed to cover by 21.0 points or more, and they possess a winning record, resulted in those favorites going 26-2 (92.9%) straight up since 2012.

San Francisco @ Tennessee 8:20 PM ET Game# 451-452 Play On: San Francisco -3.0 (5*) The line at the time of this writing tells me everything I need to know. We have an 8-6 San Francisco team as a road favorite versus 9-5 Tennessee in Week 16 of the season. Let’s face it, Tennessee hasn’t been the same offensively since losing star running back Derek Henry to an injury. The Titans have lost 3 of their last 4 and averaged a mere 14.7 points scored per game during that stretch while also committing an alarming 13 turnovers. San Francisco is playing their best football at the most opportune time. The 49ers are 5-1 SU&ATS in their last 6 and had a +7 turnover margin while doing so. The 49ers are also a perfect 5-0 SU&ATS in their last 5 non-division games with an average victory margin of 12.0 points per contest. Bet San Francisco minus the points. |

North Texas vs. Miami-Ohio 3:30 PM ET Game# 291-292 Play On: North Texas +3.0 (5*) Somehow the MAC has 7 teams invited to bowl games and that includes Miami-Ohio who went just 5-6 this season. The early results haven’t been very good as MAC teams are 0-4 thus far. Miami posted just 1 win all season versus an opponent with a winning record. They lost their regular season finale 48-47 to Kent State in a game they allowed 303 yards rushing. That’s not a good sign in regards to this Frisco Football Classic matchup against an opponent in North Texas that has rushed for 321 yards or more in 3 of their last 4 contests. North Texas started the season 1-6 but then finished 5-0 SU&ATS in their last 5 while winning by a sizable margin of 19.6 points per game. It must be noted, North Texas routed nationally ranked UTSA in their regular season finale 45-23 in a game the Roadrunners entered with a perfect 11-0 record. Bet North Texas plus the points. |

12-22-21 | Missouri +7 v. Army | 22-24 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
Missouri vs. Army 8:00 PM ET Game# 225-226 Play On: Missouri +7.0 (5*) Public betting trends have heavily sided with Army since the opening line for this Armed Forces Bowl matchup has been dropped. As a matter of fact, Army has gone from an opening 3.0-point favorite to as high as 7.0 at the time of this writing. Part of the reason for this huge line move is that Missouri will be without star running back Tyler Badie who accounted for for 1934 total yards from scrimmage and scored 18 touchdowns this season. Brady Cook has been named the starter at quarterback for Missouri which is a bit of a surprise when considering his limited experience. However, since arriving on campus last season Cook has gone 25-31 passing for 179 yards and 2 touchdowns versus 0 interceptions. Missouri is a balanced offensive team that averages 36 runs and 35 passes per game. Missouri is an uninspiring 6-6 heading into the bowl season. Nevertheless, 4 of their 6 wins came over bowl participants and their regular season schedule saw them face 10 of 12 opponents that will be playing in postseason games. Army is a deceiving 8-4 when considering 1 of their wins came against Bucknell that plays at the FCS level in addition to victories over Massachusetts and Connecticut who are arguably the worst FBS programs in college football. Army is also coming off an upset loss to bitter rival Navy (4-8) 17-13 in a game their potent rushing attack was held to 124 yards which is 154 yards below its season average. The similarity between Navy and Missouri is both played a much tougher slate than the Black Knights. Bet Missouri plus the points. |

12-22-21 | East Tennessee State +3.5 v. Georgia | 86-84 | Win | 100 | 4 h 45 m | Show | |
East Tennessee State @ Georgia 7:00 Game# 745-746 Play On: East Tennessee State +3.5 (5*) The sportsbooks are begging you to take a Power Conference team over one from a mid-major in this matchup. We have an SEC team as a small home favorite versus an Ohio Valley Conference team? That will raise some of the sharp’s eyebrows including mine. The line becomes even fishier when considering that ETSU is coming off 2 consecutive losses heading into tonight while losing to the likes of UNC-Asheville and North Carolina A&T. Georgia is coming off a narrow 6-point home win over Western Carolina but failed to cover as a 11.5-point favorite. The Bulldogs sustained resume ruining losses already this season to George Mason and Wofford. I won’t be shocked whatsoever if ETSU is added to that list after this game goes final. But, let’s not get greedy and take the points with East Tennessee State. |

12-21-21 | Utah Valley +6.5 v. Washington | 68-52 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Utah Valley State @ Washington 9:00 PM ET Game# 671-672 Play On: Utah Valley State +6.5 (5*) Washington is an uninspiring 5-5 this season. The Huskies already suffered home losses to the likes of Northern Illinois as a 20.0-point favorite, Winthrop as a 5.0-point favorite, and Wyoming as a 1.0-point favorite. Altogether, Washington is 3-3 SU and 1-5 ATS at home thus far. The Huskies will have their hands full on the boards tonight against a UVS team that has a rebound margin of +8 per game this season while the Huskies are at -6 per contest. Furthermore, since 2019, Washington is 3-13 SU versus opponents with a rebound per game margin of +4 or better. UVS pulled off a shocking road upset earlier this season on the road when they defeated then nationally ranked BYU 72-65 as a 13.0-point underdog. UVS has held opponents to 38.6% shooting from the field this season and that includes 28.3% from 3-point territory. They’re also allowing their opponents only 13 free throw attempts per contest. That’s significant when considering Washington is shooting a horrible 35.6% during its 6 home games this season and 25.8% of their points have come from the free throw line in those contests. Bet Utah Valley State plus the points. |

12-21-21 | Seahawks +7 v. Rams | 10-20 | Loss | -112 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
Seattle @ LA Rams 7:00 PM ET Game# 337-338 Play On: Seattle +7.0 (5*) Seattle is 5-8 but unlike some teams with that poor of a record this late in the season they won’t be waving the white flag with Pete Carroll as their head coach. As a matter of fact, the Seahawks have won and covered their last 2 which included an upset of San Francisco. The Rams are coming off a huge Monday night national televised win over NFC West Division leading Arizona. However, the Rams were one of the hardest hit teams by COVID this week which caused this game to be rescheduled from Sunday until today. Their meetings have been held virtually this week since they were 1 of 7 NFL teams placed under the heading of emergency COVID protocol. It would be hard to imaging they will be sharp mentally or physically headed into this matchup. Winning the game is one thing but asking Los Angeles to cover this sizable of a point-spread under their current circumstances is a difficult ask. Bet Seattle plus the points. |

12-20-21 | Vikings v. Bears OVER 45.5 | 17-9 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 2 m | Show | |
Minnesota @ Chicago 8:15 PM ET Game# 331-332 Play On: Over 45.5 (5*) Minnesota has played 5-0 to the over this season whenever there’s been a total of 48.5 or less and there was a combined 59.6 points scored per game. The Vikings have scored 26 points or more in each of their previous 6 games. The bad news for Vikings backers is their team has allowed 28 points or more in each of their previous 4 and 6 of its last 8 games. Furthermore, Minnesota has played 4-0 to the over in their last 4 games with a combined average of 61.3 points scored per game. Chicago has gone over in each of their last 2 which resulted in losses to Arizona 33-22 and Green Bay 45-30. Chicago has shown some life offensively of late. During their previous 6 games, the Bears averaged 21.7 points scored per contest and 357.5 yards gained per game. Those offensive numbers would be substantially better if not for the fact they turned the ball over 12 times during that stretch. However, some of those turnovers they committed resulted in short fields and glorious scoring opportunities for opposing offenses. Bet this game to go over the total. |

12-19-21 | Saints v. Bucs UNDER 45.5 | 9-0 | Win | 100 | 28 h 35 m | Show | |
New Orleans @ Tampa Bay 8:20 PM ET Game# 329-330 Play On: Under 45.5 95*) This would’ve been unimaginable to say over the last decade plus, but New Orleans passing offense is below average at best. Their running game is unequivocally their strength and even those numbers aren’t spectacular by any means. Tampa was #1 against the run the past 2 seasons and they’re allowing just 91 rushing yards per game this season. The Saints have played 3-0 to the under in their last 3 with a combined 40.0 points scored per game. Tampa Bay is coming off last week’s thrilling 33-27 home overtime win over Buffalo and that contest went over the total of 53.0. The Bucs have played 4-0 to the under in their last 4 this season following an over during their previous contest. New Orleans enters this game with a 6-7 record while Tampa Bay is 10-3. These teams met earlier this season in New Orleans and the saints came away with a 36-27 upset win as a 3.5-point underdog. Any Any NFL team (Tampa Bay) with a total between 42.5-49.0 that’s playing with revenge stemming from a road favorite SU loss and they possess a winning record, versus an opponent (New Orleans) with a losing record that’s playing in the 2nd half of the season, resulted in those games playing 21-3 (87.5%) to the under since 1983. The average total in those 24 games was 45.3. Bet this game to go under the total. |

12-19-21 | Packers v. Ravens +7 | Top | 31-30 | Win | 100 | 24 h 45 m | Show |
Green Bay @ Baltimore 4:25 PM ET Game# 315-316 Play On: Baltimore +7.0 I like the Ravens with or without Lamar Jackson. I assume at +7.0 it will be Tyler Huntley at quarterback. If Lamar gets the green light and get medical clearance on his injured ankle, then we aren’t going to be getting 7.0 points it will be more like 3.5 or 4.0 and that’s still fine. Tyler Huntley has accounted himself well when called upon this season. He was the starter in place of the injured Jackson at Chicago when the Ravens walked away with a 16-13 win. Last week, he just came up short of rallying Baltimore from a 24-6 halftime deficit at Cleveland, but the Ravens fell 24-22. Baltimore has gone 4-0 in non-division home games this season which includes wins Kansas City (10-3), LA Chargers (8-5), Indianapolis (7-6), and the best 6-7 team in years the Minnesota Vikings. Baltimore has gone 8-0 SU&ATS during the last 4 weeks of regular season action over the last 2 years and won by a decisive margin of 17.8 points per game. Additionally, since 2019, Baltimore is a perfect 3-0 SU&ATS as a home underdog and won by an average of 12.0 points per game. All 3 losses by Green Bay this season were sustained away from Lambeau Field. They also escaped with narrow road wins by 3 in overtime versus Cincinnati, by 3 over Arizona, and 2 against San Francisco. It’s inevitable that Green Bay will win the NFC North and that may transpire as soon as the Vikings and Bears Monday night game goes final. I just firmly believe that a Jim Harbaugh coached Ravens team will be difficult for Green Bay to pull away from regardless of the adversity they may be facing. Bet Baltimore plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

12-19-21 | Jets v. Dolphins -9 | 24-31 | Loss | -114 | 20 h 21 m | Show | |
NY Jets @ Miami 1:00 PM ET Game# 309-310 Play On: Miami -9.0 (5*) Miami is coming off their bye week after going 5-0 SU&ATS in the preceding 5 weeks. During this current win streak, the Dolphins allowed 9.0 points per game. Since last season, Miami has gone a perfect 3-0 SU&ATS versus the Jets and won by an average of 16.0 points per game. Since 2019, Miami is an unscathed 4-0 SU&ATS as a home favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 and won by 13.7 points per game. The Jets offense has averaged a mere 16.7 points scored per game throughout their previous 5 outings. Additionally, New York has averaged just 267.6 total yards of offensive per game over its last 3 contests. Since 2019, the Jets are 1-7 ATS as a road underdog of 3.5 to 9.5, lost all 8 straight up, and were outscored by a sizable margin of 17.7 points per game. Bet on Miami minus the points. |

12-18-21 | Marshall +4.5 v. UL-Lafayette | 21-36 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 19 m | Show | |
Marshall vs. UL-Lafayette 9:15 PM ET Game# 217-218 Play On: Marshall +4.5 (5*) We have #16 UL-Lafayette who has won 12 straight games since losing their season opener at Texas as just a 4.0-point favorite versus a 7-5 Marshall team from Conference USA. This game has trap written all over it as they’re pleading with you to take the ranked favorite at an inviting number over an opponent who’s mediocre on paper. Not to mention, this game is being played in New Orleans, Louisiana. If it smells like a rat, looks like a rat, then it’s a rat. Give me Marshall plus the points. |

12-18-21 | Auburn v. St. Louis OVER 145.5 | 74-70 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 8 m | Show | |
Auburn @ St. Louis 9:00 ET Game# 703-704 Play On: Over 145.5 (5*) Auburn is coming off a 70-44 win over North Alabama in a contest that stayed under the total of 144.0. Auburn has played 3-0 to the over this season following an under in its previous contest, and there was a combined average of 160.3 points scored per game in regulation time. Throughout their previous 5 contests, Auburn has averaged an immense 90 field goal attempts per game which equates to a frantic pace by college basketball standards, and scored 85.5 points per outing. St. Louis has played 5-0 to the over this season when there’s been a total of between 141.0 and 149.0. Those 5 contests averaged a combined 155.4 points scored per game. The Billikens have played 7 at home this season and averaged a robust 84.9 points scored per game, shot 51.6% from the floor, and made 40.6% of its 3-point shot attempts. |

12-18-21 | Patriots v. Colts -130 | Top | 17-27 | Win | 100 | 33 h 48 m | Show |
New England @ Indianapolis 8:20 PM ET Game# 311-312 Play On: Indianapolis -130 (10*) New England has gone 7-0 SU&ATS in their last 7 games, they’re coming off a bye week, and are 2 games better than Indianapolis in the AFC standings. Yet they find themselves as an underdog in this matchup. The sportsbooks are begging you to take the Patriots and I’m not falling for the bait. If the season were to end today, New England would make the playoffs as a wild card team. However, with a loss on Saturday night they’ll assuredly be on the outside looking in. Conversely, New England has a 2.0 game lead over 2nd place Buffalo in the AFC East standings, and they host Buffalo a week from this upcoming Sunday. The point being that desperation and urgency squarely favors the home team in this matchup. Furthermore, New England isn’t the only team that enters this contest red-hot. The Colts have won 5 of their last 6 with their lone loss coming against defending world champion Tampa Bay. Bet Indianapolis on the money line for a Top Play wager. |

12-18-21 | Texas A&M -2.5 v. Oregon State | 83-73 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Texas A&M @ Oregon State 8:00 PM ET Game# 693-694 Play On: Texas A&M -2.5 (5*) Texas A&M (7-2) isn’t a top caliber power conference right now by any stretch, but they don’t have to be in this matchup against the 1-9 Beavers. Oregon State opened the season with a win, and since that time, they’ve lost 9 games in a row. The Beavers are also 1-9 ATS in those contests as well. Furthermore, Oregon State is 0-4 SU&ATS in their last 4 at home which includes losses to Samford (not Stanford), Cal-Davis, and Princeton. They were also blown out by 25 by #8 Arizona. Bet Texas A&M minus the points. |
