03-03-21 | Idaho State v. Eastern Washington OVER 146.5 | 68-63 | Loss | -111 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
Idaho State @ Eastern Washington 9:00 PM ET Game# 697-698 Play On: Over 146.5 (5*) I am going outside of the box to find betting value in this Big Sky Conference matchup. To begin with, Eastern Washington has played 7-0 to the over in their last 7 and those contests. Those 7 games had an average total of 148.8 and there was a combined 163.9 points scored per contest. Additionally, Eastern Washington scored 85 points or more in each of those previous 7 outings. Eastern Washington has scored 49 and 51 points during the first half of their last 2 games. Conversely, Idaho State has allowed 64 points or fewer in each of their previous 5 games. The previously mentioned data sets up an extremely profitable college basketball totals betting angle displayed below. Any college basketball team (Idaho State) with a total of 140.0 to 149.5 which has allowed 65 points or less in 4 straight games, and they’re facing an opponent (Eastern Washington) who has scored 40 points or more in the 1st held of its last 2 contests, resulted in those games playing 33-8 (80.5%) to the over since 2016. Those 41 contests had an average total of 144.0 and there was a combined 153.0 points scored per game. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager. |

03-03-21 | Maryland -4 v. Northwestern | 55-60 | Loss | -102 | 6 h 59 m | Show | |
Maryland @ Northwestern 9:05 PM ET Game# 691-692 Play On: Maryland -4.0 (5*) Maryland enters this contest riding a 5-game win streak which has improved their season record to 15-10. By doing so the Terrapins have plated themselves onto the NCAA Tournament bubble. Maryland can now ill afford to lose to a Northwestern team that is 4-13 in Big 10 action and that includes losing 13 of its last 14 games. As a matter of fact, they probably need a decisive win tonight in order to improve their NCAA Tournament resume. They will be taken on a Wildcats team that has gone 0-5 SU&ATS in their last 5 conference home games and lost by a sizable margin of 17.2 points per game. Bet on Maryland minus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-03-21 | Creighton v. Villanova -4.5 | Top | 60-72 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show |
Creighton @ Villanova 8:30 PM ET Game# 685-686 Play On: Villanova -4.5 (10*) Villanova has a couple of things to atone for in this game and I am confident they will be more than up to the challenge. First, they’ll look to avenge an 86-70 loss at Creighton earlier this season. By the way, since the start of the 2014-2015 season, Villanova has gone a stellar 9-1 straight up and 8-2 ATS when playing with same season revenge. Secondly, the #10 Wildcats will look to bounce back from an embarrassing 73-61 upset loss as a 12.5-point road favorite versus Butler in their previous game. However, Villanova is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 as a home favorite of 11.5 or less and won by a decisive margin of 19.5 points per game. The Wildcats allowed Butler to shoot 50% in their previous game. Additionally, Villanova is 3-0 SU&ATS this season following a game in which they allowed their opponent to shoot 50% or better and they won by 18.3 points per contest. Bet on Villanova minus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

03-03-21 | Bulls +6 v. Pelicans | 128-124 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
Chicago @ New Orleans 8:05 PM ET Game# 537-538 Play On: Chicago +6.0 (5*) New Orleans is coming off a huge 129-124 upset win over Utah (27-8) and did so as a 6.5-point home underdog. Now they turn around 2 days later and are a home favorite versus a Bulls team with a losing record. I look for this to be an emotional flat spot for the Pelicans and that will reflect upon their performance today. Chicago burned me on Monday night by losing by 6 to Denver as a 5.0-point home underdog. The Bulls were down 2 with just 8 seconds to play before Denver scored 4 unanswered points from the free throw line. Nevertheless, I am not going to let that deter my decision to come right back with Chicago again. By the way, the Bulls are 10-0 ATS this season as a road underdog of 13.0 or less and won 6 of those contests straight up. Bet on Chicago plus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-03-21 | Nets -9.5 v. Rockets | 132-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
Brooklyn @ Houston 7:35 PM ET Game# 535-536 Play On: Brooklyn -9.5 (5*) The Rockets have hit rock bottom while having lost 12 games in a row and failing to cover in 11 of those contests. Houston was outscored in those 12 defeats by a substantial 17.6 points per game. Houston is also an abysmal 0-6 SU&ATS as a home underdog this season and lost by an enormous average of 19.5 points per game. Brooklyn is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite and won by 15.9 points per contest. Brooklyn is also a perfect 6-0 SU&ATS in their last 6 away games. Furthermore, the Nets are 10-1 SU&ATS this season in their last 11 non-conference games. During their previous 10 games this season as a road favorite, Brooklyn scored a hefty 129.4 points per contest and shot a sizzling hot 51.6%. Conversely, Houston has scored 107 points or fewer in each of their last 7 home games. I very rarely lay this many points in an NBA game and especially so on a road team. However, this is one of those rare situations I am going to do so. Bet on Brooklyn minus the points as a 5* wager. |

03-03-21 | Pacers v. Cavs +7 | 114-111 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
Indiana @ Cleveland 7:05 PM ET Game# 531-532 Play On: Cleveland +7.0 (5*) I know the Pacers have been a cash cow as a road favorite during the past 2 seasons, but I don’t see this as a good spot to follow that trend. This will be the Pacers 4th road game in 6 days. Indiana is a dismal 0-4 SU&ATS in their last 4 overall and defense has been an afterthought throughout this stretch. The Pacers will be facing a Cleveland tonight that has a season record of 14-21 (.400). Indiana has gone an alarmingly bad 3-7 straight up this season versus teams with a win percentage of .250 to .400. Cleveland is currently riding a 4-0 SU&ATS run in which they were an underdog on each occasion. The Cavaliers are a respectable 7-4 straight up this season following a straight up underdog win. Bet on Cleveland plus the points for a 5* wager. |

03-03-21 | Minnesota v. Penn State -5 | 65-84 | Win | 100 | 4 h 60 m | Show | |
Minnesota @ Penn State 7:00 PM ET Game# 673-674 Play On: Penn State -5.0 (5*) These are 2 Big 10 teams that have gone on a late season tailspin. However, something has to change for one of them today and in my mind Penn State is much the lesser of two evils. Minnesota is an abysmal 0-9 SU&ATS in true road games this season and only managed to cover twice by doing so. Furthermore, the Golden Gophers are 0-5 SU&ATS in their last 5 overall while being outscored by 13.2 points per game. Even worse, their last 2 defeats came against Nebraska and Northwestern who currently are the bottom 2 teams in the Big 10 regular season standing. The loss to Northwestern came by 8 points at home and it halted a Wildcats 13-game losing streak. Despite their recent struggles, Penn State will be good enough to get the cover tonight against an opponent who’s season can’t end soon enough. Bet on Penn State minus the points for 5*. |

03-02-21 | Suns +1.5 v. Lakers | Top | 114-104 | Win | 100 | 6 h 38 m | Show |
Phoenix @ LA Lakers 10:05 PM ET Game# 527-528 Play On: Phoenix +1.5 (10*) This line raised my eyebrows as soon as I laid eyes on it. We have the defending world champion Lakers at home as an extremely short favorite against an opponent that didn’t even make the playoffs a season ago. However, don’t be misled. Dating back to last season, Phoenix has gone 30-11 SU&ATS (73.2%) in their last 41 games and that includes 10-4 SU&ATS during their previous 14 on the road. Furthermore, the Suns are an impressive 14-3 SU&ATS in their last 17 outings and 6-1 SU&ATS during its previous 7 road games. Bet on the Suns for a 10* Top Play wager. |

03-02-21 | Kentucky v. Ole Miss -3 | 62-70 | Win | 100 | 6 h 60 m | Show | |
Kentucky @ Ole Miss 9:00 PM ET Game# 647-648 Play On: Ole Miss -3.0 (5*) Kentucky went into last Saturday’s home tilt with Florida riding a season high 3-game win streak. That momentum was squashed after suffering a 71-67 loss to the Gators. The harsh reality of the situation for Kentucky is they are now an extremely disappointing 8-13 this season. Kentucky has beaten Ole Miss the last 11 times they met. Nonetheless, the odds-makers had Ole Miss opening as a favorite. They did so even with the Rebels coming off a crushing loss to ACC cellar dweller Vanderbilt that just about eliminated them from receiving an NCAA Tournament at-large bid. Despite that disheartening defeat, Ole Miss has won 6 of their last 8 games. Bet on Ole Miss for a 5* wager. |

03-02-21 | Tulsa v. UCF -3 | 69-73 | Win | 100 | 4 h 2 m | Show | |
Tulsa @ Central Florida 7:00 PM ET Game# 619-620 Play On: Central Florida -3.0 (5*) Public betting trends shows a high number of wagers and a lopsided amount of money going on Tulsa plus the points. I on the other hand will take a contrarian approach here. Tulsa started the season with a promising 7-3 record. Since that time, they have gone a dismal 3-7. Conversely, UCF is 4-2 in their last 6 games and both losses came by exactly 1-point. I am going with the side which has been competing harder of late. Bet on Central Florida for a 5* wager. |

03-02-21 | Detroit -115 v. Northern Kentucky | 69-70 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 1 m | Show | |
Detroit @ Northern Kentucky 7:00 PM ET Game# 651-652 Play On: Detroit -115 (Money Line) (5*) Northern Kentucky has won 8 of its last 10 games. However, they’re just 3-3 in their previous 6 conference home games. Detroit enters this Horizon Conference Tournament game red-hot. The Titans have won 9 of its last 10 and 11 of their previous 11 games. Throughout their previous 5 contests, Detroit is averaging 78.5 points scored per game while shooting 48.4% and converting on a superb 41.2% of their 3-point tries. Detroit is also one of the best free throw shooting teams in the country at 80.3% on the season. Bet on Detroit for a 5* money line wager. |

Denver @ Chicago 8:05 PM ET Game# 509-510 Play On: Chicago +5.0 (10*) There were lofty expectations for the Denver Nuggets this season after advancing to the 2019-2020 NBA Western Conference Finals. However, they’re off to a rather uninspiring 18-15 start to the season. The Nuggets are also a poor 2-6 in their previous 8 road games. Nonetheless, 1 of those 2 road wins occurred in their previous game during a 126-96 blowout of Oklahoma City. Denver is 0-3 SU&ATS in their previous 3 games following a win. Since the start of the 2018-2019 NBA season, Denver is a dismal 4-16 ATS immediately following a road win by 15 points or more and were outscored by an average of 8.8 points per contest. I love the compete level and improvement the Bulls have shown under newly hired head coach Billy Donovan. Chicago is 5-2 straight up in their last 7 games. During their previous 4 games Chicago is averaging a robust 118.0 points scored per contest and shot a scalding hot 52.6%. Bet on Chicago plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

03-01-21 | North Carolina v. Syracuse +2 | 70-72 | Win | 100 | 4 h 30 m | Show | |
North Carolina @ Syracuse 7:00 PM ET Game# 839-840 Play On: Syracuse +2.0 (5*) North Carolina is coming off a huge win over then #7 and now #11 Florida State in their previous game. The Tar Heels have bitter rival Duke up next which will be their regular season finale. Sandwiched between those 2 contests is a road game against Syracuse who they just beat recently. This sets up as a classic look ahead or flat spot for North Carolina depending on what phrase you like best. Syracuse is coming off road losses to Duke and Georgia Tech in their previous 2 games. The Orange haven’t lost 3 games in a row all season. Furthermore, Syracuse is 6-0 straight up and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 at home. This is an attractive college basketball situation that favors the home team. Bet on Syracuse for a 5* wager. |

02-28-21 | Warriors v. Lakers UNDER 221 | 91-117 | Win | 100 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
Golden State @ LA Lakers 8:05 PM ET Game# 575-576 Play On: Under 221.0 (5*) The Lakers are an overlooked but excellent defensively. The rank #2 in the NBA in scoring defense at just 106.1 points per game. It’s been quite apparent that the Lakers have struggled offensively without Anthony Davis who continues to be sideline with a foot injury. They have scored 102 points or fewer in 4 of their last 5 games. The only time they eclipsed that 102-point barrier was against a Washington team who ranks 2nd to last in NBA scoring defense. The Lakers have played 5-1 to the under in their last 6 and the only exception was against, you guessed it, Washington. On the other side of the table is a Golden State team which has also played 5-1 to the under in their previous 6 outings and that includes 3-0 in away games. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |

The Rockets saw 7 of those 10 losses come by 11 points or more. Throughout their previous 6 games the Rockets have allowed 120.7 points per contest while there opponents shot a combined 50.4% and made 42.1% of their 3-point attempts. It’s hard to win in the NBA when giving that terrible of a defensive effort. Memphis is an uninspiring 4-5 ATS as a road underdog this season. However, they’re 3-0 ATS as a road favorite with a substantial average victory margin of 19.7 pints per game. Bet on Memphis minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Throughout their previous 5 outings, Washington has scored 120.2 points per game and shot a stellar 49.0% from the field. Those last 5 contests also averaged a combined 187 field goal attmpts per game which equates to a rapid tempo. Boston has played 6-0 to the over this season in conference home games and when there was a total of 212.0 or greater. Those 6 contests surpassed the total by an average of 10.6 points per game. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager. |

Iowa @ Ohio State 4:00 PM ET Game# 803-804 Play On: Ohio State -3.0 (10*) #4 Ohio State will be in a sour mood today after coming off back-to-back losses for the first time this season. The Buckeyes have gone 6-0 SU&ATS in their last 6 as a home favorite of 4.0 to 17.0 points and with an average victory margin of 20.0 points per game. Ohio State is also 12-2 ATS since the start of the 2017-2018 season under current head coach Chris Holtmann as a conference home favorite of 6.0 or less. The Buckeyes are 3-0 SU&ATS in their last 3 at home versus Iowa and won by an average of 14.0 points per contest.

Montreal @ Winnipeg 10:05 PM ET Game# 53-54 Play On: Montreal -132 (10*) Winnipeg has gone 7-3 against the money line in their last 10 and that includes a current 3-game win streak. Conversely Montreal has lost 4 straight and 7 of its last 8 versus the money line. Yet, it’s Montreal who is a decent sized favorite tonight. It’s more time than not as easy as it appears when it comes to sports betting. This is one of those spots to think like an oddsmaker while also doing away with conventional thinking. The Canadiens will go with backup Jake Allen in goal tonight. Allen has been terrific in 7 starts this season while compiling a brilliant .932 save percentage. The way #1 goaltender Carey Price has recently played, Allen gives Montreal their best chance to win. The Jets are coming off Thursday night’s 6-3 home win over Montreal. However, since the start of last season, Winnipeg is an abysmal 0-7 against the money line following a game in which a combined 9 or more goals were scored. Bet on Montreal for a 10* Top Play wager. |

Baylor @ Kansas 8:00 PM ET Game# 749-750 Play On: Kansas +3.5 (10*) Baylor (18-0) is a terrific team so let’s get that out of the way. However, it’s going to be extremely difficult for them to remain unbeaten going into the NCAA Tournament while playing in an extremely strong conference like the Big 12. The #2 ranked Bears are coming off a flat performance in a 5-point home win over a 2-17 Iowa State team. They closed as a massive 24.0-point favorite in that contest. For starters, Kansas has gone a terrific 47-2 in their last 50 home games. That includes 11-1 this season with their lone defeat coming against #14 Texas. Since that Texas loss, Kansas has won 6 straight at home and covered on each of their last 4. The Jayhawks have improved dramatically on the defensive end as the season has progressed. As a matter of fact, over their previous 6 contests Kansas allowed 59.8 points per game and held opponents to a combined 35.4% shooting. The Jayhawks won 5 of those contests and their only defeat came in overtime at Texas. Furthermore, Kansas is 15-1 in their last 16 at home versus Baylor. Their only home loss to the Bears came last season. That should provide extra motivation and emotion for a program which prides itself on defending their home court. Bet on Kansas plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

Minnesota @ Washington 7:05 PM ET Game# 555-556 Play On: Washington -4.0 (10*) These 2 teams are clearly headed in opposite directions. Minnesota has gone 0-6 SU&ATS in their last 6 games and lost by 9.5 points per contest. Conversely, Washington is an extremely profitable 6-1 SU&ATS during their previous 7 and that includes 3-0 SU&ATS at home with an average victory margin of 9.0 points per game. Washington has been red-hot offensively over their previous 5 outings while averaging 120.6 points scored per game, shooting 50.3% from the field, and converted on 37.7% of its 3-point attempts. That’s not good news for a Minnesota team which has allowed 119.0 points per game and opponents shot 48.2% from the floor in addition to making 40.4% of its 3-point attempts. Bet on Washington minus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

Rhode Island @ Duquesne 7:00 PM ET Game# 729-730 Play On: Duquesne (-115 on Money Line) This is a game between Atlantic 10 Conference teams that both having a losing record. Nevertheless, Rhode Island as lost 5 of their last 6 contests in a addition to coming up short in 5 of its previous 6 conference away games. On the other side of the coin is a Duquesne team which is 4-1 during their previous 5 conference home games. The Dukes enter today on a 2-game losing streak and haven’t dropped 3 in a row all season long. Bet on Duquesne for a 5* money line wager. |

Florida State @ North Carolina 4:00 PM ET Game# 661-662 Play On: Florida State -1.5 (5*) Florida State is on a 4-game win streak and has also been victorious in 9 of their previous 10 contests. North Carolina relies heavily on their big men to dominate the offensive glass. However, Florida State has the size to neutralize the Tar Heels offensive rebounding prowess. The Tar Heels aren’t a proficient 3-point shooting team, so things won’t come easily for them against a Seminoles team that has limited their opponents in conference play to just 40.4% shooting. Conversely, North Carolina is come off a disappointing 83-70 home loss to Marquette in a game in which they closed as a 9.5-point favorite. Bet on Florida State minus the small number for a 5* wager. |

02-27-21 | Florida v. Kentucky -1.5 | 71-67 | Loss | -113 | 4 h 49 m | Show | |
Florida @ Kentucky 4:00 PM ET Game# 669-670 Play On: Kentucky -1.5 (5*) Florida is an uninspiring 2-3 in conference road games this season. They have also failed to cover 3 of their last 4 games. Conversely, Kentucky is riding a current 3-game win streak with the last 2 coming on the road. The Wildcats confidence level should be even higher considering they blew out the Gators on their own home floor 76-58 earlier this season. That win was the 5th straight for Kentucky when playing Florida. By the way, Florida is a dismal 1-7 straight up during the past 3 seasons when playing with same season revenge from a loss by 10 points or more. Lastly, we have an 8-13 Kentucky team as a small favorite in this contest against an opponent who is 12-6. The sportsbooks are attempting to entice you into taking the road underdog that possesses a much better season record than the team they’re facing. I’m not taking the bait. Bet on Kentucky for a 5* wager. |

02-27-21 | Texas v. Texas Tech -3 | 59-68 | Win | 100 | 3 h 40 m | Show | |
Texas @ Texas Tech 12:00 PM ET Game# 605-606 Play On: Texas Tech -3.0 (5*) Texas Tech (14-8) has lost their last 3 and failed to cover its previous 5 contests. Despite those recent failures they are a favorite against #14 Texas (14-6) who is coming off a thrilling 75-72 overtime win at home against #17 Kansas. The degree of urgency in this matchup clearly favors Texas Tech and that will be a huge factor in determining the outcome of this contest. Texas Tech has lost 4 games in a row just once since the start of the 2015-2016 college basketball season and that came late in the 2017-2018 campaign. Additionally, the Red Raiders are 6-1 in their last 7 games against Texas and that includes a 79-77 win in Austin earlier this season. Here’s an extremely profitable college basketball betting angle which is applicable to this matchup and dates back to the start of the 2016-2017 season. Any conference home favorite of 4.0 or less (Texas Tech) who has lost 3 straight games and they possess a win percentage of .650 or less, versus an opponent (Texas) coming off a win and is playing with revenge, and that opponent has a win percentage of .300 or better, resulted in those conference favorites of 4.0 or less going 17-4 ATS (80.9%). Bet on Texas Tech minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Utah @ Miami 8:05 PM ET Game# 541-542 Play On: Utah -6.5 (10*) Miami is a perfect 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 games. Yet, they find themselves as a sizable home underdog tonight and for good reason. They will be facing a Utah team which has gone 18-0 ATS in their last 18 games this season as a favorite of 12.0 or less. The Jazz are also 22-2 straight up and 21-3 ATS during their previous 24 games. Additionally, Utah is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 as a road favorite and allowed a mere 97.3 points per game while holding opponents to an ice cold 39.4% shooting. The Jazz have averaged 121.2 points scored per game and shot a red-hot 41.9% from 3-point territory over their previous 5 games. Throughout that identical time span, Utah also averaged making an incredible 19 three-point shots per game. This more about me betting on Utah a lot more than wagering against Miami. Bet on Utah minus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

The average total in those 11 contests was 242.9 and there was a combined 251.5 points scored per game. The point being, oddsmakers have been justified when making NBA totals this high. New Orleans has played an incredible 18-1 to the over in their previous 19 contests and that includes 9-0 on the road. New Orleans defeated Milwaukee 131-126 on 1/29/21 and that contest easily went over the total of 230.0. Milwaukee is a fast tempo team that averages a robust 91 field goal attempts per game. Furthermore, the Bucks average 119.8 points scored per contest while shooting an impressive 48.7% from the floor and 39.6% from 3-point territory.

Washington @ Denver 9:05 PM ET Game# 527-528 Play On: Over 237.5 (5*) This is another matchup which well worthy of the high total. Washington has been explosive offensive throughout their previous 5 games played. During that stretch, the Wizards scored an average of 124.4 points per game while shooting a sizzling hot 51.2% in addition to converting on 39.6% of its 3-point attempts. The Wizards will be facing a Denver team tonight that’s outscoring opponents by an average 3.8 points per game this season. Washington has played 7-0 to the over this season when facing teams that have a point differential of +3.0 or more points per game. Those 7 contests averaged a combined 258.0 points scored per game. Denver went under the total in their last game and that’s significant from an NBA betting viewpoint. The Nuggets have played 8-1 to the over this season following an under and that includes 5-0 in their last 5 (240.4 PPG). Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager. |

02-25-21 | Ohio State v. Michigan State +4 | 67-71 | Win | 100 | 6 h 6 m | Show | |
Ohio State @ Michigan State 9:00 PM ET Game# 765-766 Play On: Michigan State +4.0 (5*) Tom Izzo has been extremely successful throughout his career of having his Michigan State teams playing their best basketball late in the season. Based on the Spartans performances in their last 2 games it appears that trend is continuing. Michigan State is coming off back-to-back upset wins at Indiana and then #5 Illinois at home. Now they take on an Ohio State team that seems set up for a flat spot. The Buckeyes are coming off a game against #3 Michigan at home and are set to host #9 Iowa on Saturday. Between those contests versus Top 10 teams is a game against Michigan State who is an uninspiring 6-9 in conference action and just 12-9 overall. This is a classic sandwich game and look ahead situation for Ohio State. It’s also worth noting that Michigan State has won each of their last 7 home games against Ohio State. Bet on Michigan State plus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-25-21 | USC v. Colorado -3 | 62-80 | Win | 100 | 6 h 5 m | Show | |
USC @ Colorado 9:00 PM ET Game# 773-774 Play On: Colorado -2.5 (5*) These teams met this past New Year’s Eve and Colorado walked away with a 72-62 win as a 3.5-point road underdog. The Buffaloes are a shiny 8-1 straight up and 6-3 ATS at home this season and outscored those 9 opponents by a decisive 18.7 points per game. This is a classic example of an unranked team like Colorado being a favorite against a ranked opponent in #17 USC. The oddsmakers and sportsbooks aren’t that generous, and this is a clear case of baiting bettors to take the ranked underdog. Bet on Colorado minus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-25-21 | Kings v. Knicks -1.5 | 121-140 | Win | 100 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
Sacramento @ New York 7:35 PM ET Game# 523-524 Play On: New York -1.0 (5*) For starters, Sacramento has been ice cold of late having gone 0-8 SU&ATS in their last 8 games. During that futile stretch, the Kings have allowed 124.6 points per game while opponents shot an alarmingly high 52.3% and made an eye-popping 44.9% of its 3-point attempts. The Kings allowed 118 points or more in each of those 8 losses and that doesn’t bode well for their chances on most nights but is especially applicable today. They will be facing a Knicks team that has gone 7-2 straight up and 8-1 ATS this season when facing teams that allowing 110.0 or more points per game. The Knicks are by far the superior defensive team in this non-conference matchup. Case in point, New York has allowed 110 points or greater in just 9 of their 32 games this season. Conversely, Sacramento has allowed 110 points or greater in 25 of their 31 games. New York has also gone a perfect 7-0 SU&ATS in their last 7 this season when their point-spread was +3.0 to -3.0 and they won by an average of 13.4 points per contest. Bet on New York for a 5* wager. |

02-25-21 | Western Kentucky +11.5 v. Houston | 57-81 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
Western Kentucky @ Houston 7:00 PM ET Game# 749-750 Play On: Western Kentucky +11.5 (5*) Both teams take a break from their busy conference schedules as Houston (18-3) hosts Western Kentucky (15-4). Thinking unranked Western Kentucky can’t play with #12 Houston would be a careless error in judgement. All you need to do is point to the Hilltoppers winning at #6 Alabama, and then giving #10 West Virginia all they could handle before losing by 6 in Morgantown. They say an ability to make 3-point shots at a high percentage is the great equalizer for college basketball underdogs. Well then Western Kentucky fits that mold based on them making a superb 44.8% of their 3-point shot attempts throughout their previous 5 games. The Hilltoppers will make this game a lot more competitive than Houston fans would feel comfortable with. Bet on Western Kentucky plus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-23-21 | Connecticut v. Georgetown +4.5 | 70-57 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
Connecticut @ Georgetown 9:00 PM ET Game# 635-636 Play On: Georgetown +4.5 (5*) Connecticut is just 3-5 SU&ATS in their last 8 and that includes 1-3 SU&ATS in conference road games. Georgetown is 4-1 straight up and 5-0 ATS this season in conference home games versus unranked opponents. They say the ability to make 3-point shots is the great equalizer for college basketball underdogs. During their previous 5 games Georgetown has gone an excellent 42.7% from 3-point territory. Throughout that identical stretch, Georgetown has also connected on a terrific 78.4% of its 3-point shot attempts. Bet on Georgetown plus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-23-21 | Penn State v. Nebraska UNDER 145 | 86-83 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Penn State @ Nebraska 8:00 PM ET Game# 631-632 Play On: Under 145.0 (5*) Penn State has played 5-1 to the under in its last 6 games and that includes 3-0 on the road. Those 3 road games averaged only a combined 129.3 points scored per game and they went under by a cumulative 51.5 points. During their last 6 contests, Penn State has scored only 63.3 points per game and shot an abysmal 36.2% from the floor. Nebraska has played 7-1 to the under in their last 8 games and there was a mere 130.0 combined points scored per contest. During that stretch, the Cornhuskers averaged 63.0 points scored per game and shot a miserable 38.2% from the floor. Nebraska is also 5-0 to the under in their last 5 when there was a total of 141.0 or greater and there was only a combined 128.6 points scored per game. Those 5 contests went under the total by a combined 89 points. Finally, Nebraska is coming off a recent upset win at Penn State 62-61 and that contest easily stayed under the total of 144.5. Play on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |

02-23-21 | Warriors v. Knicks +3 | 114-106 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
Golden State @ New York 7:35 PM ET Game# 569-570 Play On: New York +3.0 (5*) Golden State has gone 2-6 straight up in their last 8 road games. That recent road mark hardly bodes well for confidence if one is thinking of taking the favorite Warriors. Especially when considering the Knicks have gone 3-0 SU&ATS in their last 3 at home. Furthermore, New York has gone 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 as an underdog and won 4 of those contests straight up. There will also be approximately 2000 fans in attendance tonight at Madison Square Garden for a first time this season. The Knicks are an outstanding defensive team that’s #1 in the NBA in points allowed per game. Case in point, New York has allowed less than 100 points in 5 of its last 8 at home. Bet on New York plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Philadelphia @ Toronto 7:35 PM ET Game# 575-576 Play On: Toronto +2.0 (5*) The inexplicable road woes for Philadelphia have continued as they have gone 0-4 SU&ATS in their last 4 away games. As a matter of fact, since the start of last season, the 76ers are 16-34 SU&ATS in true road games which includes a 110-103 loss at Toronto on Sunday as a closing 3.0-point favorite. Conversely, Toronto is starting to finally heat up having gone 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 games with an average victory margin of 12.3 points per game. Lastly, Toronto has gone a dominating 19-1 straight up in their previous 20 home games against Philadelphia. Bet on Toronto for a 5* wager. |

02-23-21 | Penguins v. Capitals OVER 6 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -117 | 5 h 26 m | Show |
Pittsburgh @ Washington 7:05 PM ET Game# 51-52 Play On: Over 6.0 (-117) (10*) Pittsburgh is 7-3 to the over this season whenever there was a total of 6.0 or greater. Tristan Jarry is slated to get the start in goal for Pittsburgh. Jarry has gone 0-5 in his road starts this season while posting a brutal .823 save percentage in those games. The Penguins are a poor 2-6 against the money line on the road this season and allowed an alarmingly high average of 4.0 goals per game while doing so. Pittsburgh is also averaging a lofty 3.6 goals per game during their last 5 outings. Washington has played 7-3 to the over at home this season. The Capitals goaltending has left much to be desired thus far and that’s reflected by their combined .881 save percentage which isn’t very good. One thing that has been this season is the Capitals power play which has converted on an impressive 33.3% of their man advantage situations. Better yet, Washington is 12-24 (50%) on the power play at home. Since the start of the 2018-2019 season, these teams have seen 8 of their 11 games played against one another go over the total and that includes 3-1 to the over this season. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 10* Top Play wager. |

02-23-21 | Pistons v. Magic -3.5 | 105-93 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Detroit @ Orlando 7:05 PM ET Game# 567-568 Play On: Orlando -3.5 (5*) For starters, Detroit is 1-10 straight up in their last 11 road games. Additionally, the Pistons are a poor 8-21 ATS (27.6%) as a road underdog of 6.0 or less since the start of the 2018-2019 season. During that identical time frame, Orlando is 28-12 straight up when facing an opponent like Detroit that possesses a win percentage of .250 to .400. The Magic are 3-0 SU&ATS in their last 3 games overall and that includes a 105-96 win over Detroit on Sunday as a 3.5-point favorite. Orland is 4-0 SU&ATS this season as a conference home favorite with an average victory margin of 12.0 points per game. Bet on Orlando minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Florida @ Auburn 7:00 PM ET Game# 639-640 Play On: Over 154.0 (5*) Florida has played 6-1 to the over in true road games this season. Conversely, Auburn has played 5-1 to the over this season in conference home games and there was a combined 168.0 points scored per contest. Additionally, Auburn has played 7-1 to the over in their previous 8 games overall. During its last 5 contests, Auburn has allowed 86.0 points per game. This will be a fast paced, high scoring, and entertaining game to watch. Bet on this contest to go over the total for a 5* wager. |

02-22-21 | Wild -150 v. Sharks | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 60 m | Show | |
Minnesota @ San Jose 10:35 PM ET Game# 81-82 Play On: Minnesota -150 (5*) This is right on the edge of where I am comfortable going when it comes to a money line favorite. Nonetheless, I couldn’t pass on this favorite after looking inside the numbers. San Jose is coming off a road win at St. Louis in their previous game. The Sharks have yet to win 2 straight games this season, and are an abysmal 0-6 against the money line following a loss and were outscored by a decisive margin of 23-12. Minnesota is a profitable 5-3 on the money line during road games this season including wins in each of their previous 2 road tilts. Kaapo Kahkonen is expected to get the start in goal for Minnesota tonight and he’s gone 3-1 in 4 road starts this season with a solid .927 save percentage. Bet on Minnesota for a 5* money line wager. |

02-22-21 | Wizards +7 v. Lakers | 127-124 | Win | 100 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
Washington @ LA Lakers 10:05 PM ET Game# 563-564 Play On: Washington +7.0 (5*) With Anthony Davis (22.3 PPG/8.4 RPG) sidelined with an injury, the Lakers have looked a bit vulnerable of late. As a matter of fact, they have lost 3 of their last 4 while scoring just 96 and 94 points in their previous 2. The Lakers will also be without starting guard Dennis Schroeder (quarantine) who averages 14.2 points and 4.5 assists per game. The Lakers are just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 as a home favorite of 8.5 or less, and they lost 5 of those contests straight up. It’s been well documented that the Lakers have been much better on the road (13-3) than at home (9-6) this season. The Lakers will be facing a 10-17 (.370) Washington team that has been outscored by an average of 5.1 points per game this season. The Lakers are 0-7 ATS at home this season when facing an opponent who has been outscored by 3.0 or more points per game. Washington has gone 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 games and 3 of those came as an underdog. Furthermore, the Wizards averaged 126.3 points scored per contest and have shot 51.3% throughout their previous 3 games. Washington is coming off an impressive 118-111 win at Portland in their previous game. That Wizards victory halted an extremely profitable 6-0 SU&ATS for Portland. Since the start of the 2016-2017 NBA season, any road underdog of 7.5 or less (Washington) that’s coming off a road in which they scored 118 points or fewer, and they possess a season win percentage of .250 to .400, versus an opponent (Lakers) with a winning record, resulted in those road underdogs going 16-1 ATS (94.1%). Those road dogs also won 10 of those 17 games straight up. Bet on Washington plus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-22-21 | Golden Knights v. Avalanche -130 | 3-0 | Loss | -130 | 5 h 30 m | Show | |
Las Vegas @ Colorado 9:05 PM ET Game# 43-44 Play On: Colorado -130 (5*) Las Vegas has averaged only 1.6 goals per game during its last 5 outings. As a matter of fact, during that stretch they scored 4 of their 7 goals scored on the power play. They will be facing an excellent penalty killing team tonight in Colorado. The Avalanche have killed off 43-48 (89.6%) power plays against them this season. That includes holding Las Vegas to 1-10 (10%) on their man advantage situations in their 3 games against the Golden Knights this season. Colorado lost their home opener to St. Louis. However, since that defeat, they have gone a perfect 4-0 at home while outscoring their opponents by a cumulative score of 20-4. The Avalanche averaged a lofty 37.3 shots on goal per game in those 4 home wins and had a combined 149-100 shots on goal edge. Colorado goaltender Philip Grubauer is expected to get the start tonight and he’s posted a terrific .945 save percentage throughout his previous 4 start. His counterpart tonight will be Marc-Andre Fleury who has been excellent this season in 10 starts while compiling a brilliant .935 save percentage. Nevertheless, Colorado has gone 9-2 versus the money line since the beginning of last season when facing a starting goaltender with a season long save percentage of .930 or better. Bet on Colorado for a 5* money line wager. |

02-22-21 | Texas Tech v. Oklahoma State +3.5 | Top | 69-74 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show |
Texas Tech @ Oklahoma State 9:00 PM ET Game# 871-872 Play On: Oklahoma State +3.5 (10*) Texas Tech is coming off back-to-back losses to West Virginia and Kansas. The #15 Red Raiders have now gone just 3-4 straight up in their last 7 games played. Texas Tech will be playing with revenge from an 82-77 home defeat to Oklahoma State on 1/2/21. However, I don’t think revenge will be a determining factor in this one. Oklahoma State has gone 4-0 in their last 4 conference home games. Additionally, 3 of those victories came over nationally ranked teams in Kansas, Arkansas, and Texas. Nevertheless, they find themselves as a home underdog versus a visiting team that isn’t performing like a Top 25 team right now. During their previous 5 games, Oklahoma State has held its opponents to a mere 36.9% shooting and that includes 24.3% from beyond the 3-point line. Bet on Oklahoma State plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

02-22-21 | Lightning -124 v. Hurricanes | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 3 h 31 m | Show | |
Tampa Bay @ Carolina 7:05 PM ET Game# 79-80 Play On: Tampa Bay -124 (5*) Tampa Bay is 0-2 against Carolina this season and was shutout on both occasions. The last of which occurred on Saturday 4-0. Since the start of last season, the Lightning are an extremely profitable 12-1 following a game in which they scored 1 goal or less. Despite those recent struggles against Carolina, Tampa Bay finds themselves as a small money line road favorite this season. That fact all by itself speaks volumes to me. The oddsmakers are begging you to take the home underdog in this spot and there’s plenty of bait available to lure NHL bettors into doing so. Any NHL road team that’s playing with same season revenge stemming from a loss by 4 goals or more, and they’re playing just their 2nd game in 5 days, resulted in those road teams going 40-12 (76.9%) versus the money line since 1996. The average money line for those 52 road teams was -123. Bet on Tampa Bay for a 5* money line wager. |

02-21-21 | Jets v. Canucks UNDER 6.5 | 4-3 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
Winnipeg @ Vancouver 10:05 PM ET Game# 33-34 Play On: Under 6.5 (10*) Note: This pick is good even if the total is 6.0. Draft Kings currently has it at 6.5. The last 5 meetings between these clubs have all played under the total. There was just a combined average of 3.6 goals scored per game. Winnipeg has gone under in 7 of their last 8 games played. Vancouver has played 5-1-1 to the under in their previous 7 games played. The Canucks power play units have gone an uninspiring 12-72 (16.9%) this season and that includes 2-14 (14.3%) during their previous 5 games. On the other hand, their penalty killing units have killed off 39 of 43 power play chances (89.7%) against them at home. Winnipeg has converted on only 4 of their 27 (14.8%) of their man advantage situations during road games this season. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager. |

Brooklyn @ LA Clippers 8:05 PM ET Game# 547-548 Play On: LA Clippers -6.5 (5*) This will be the finale of a 5-game in 9-day road trip for Brooklyn which has seen them go 4-0 SU&ATS thus far. They have accomplished that feat without having the services of Kevin Durant (29.0 PPG/7.3 RPG) who continues to be sidelined today with a hamstring injury. This is a spot in which he will be sorely missed against a Clippers team when healthy is an excellent defensive team. That was the finally the case on Friday night when they won at home against a Utah team which sports the best record in the NBA to this point. The Clippers are 11-2 this season when they have their full compliment of core players. This will be a statement game for the home team in this matchup. Bet on the LA Clippers minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Oklahoma City @ Cleveland 7:05 PM ET Game# 541-542 Play On: Oklahoma City -2.5 (5*) Cleveland has gone an abysmal 0-9 SU&ATS in their last 9 and lost by a lopsided margin of 21.4 points per game. During that stretch they have given up an alarmingly high 125.1 points per contest while opponents shot 53.6% and converted on 45.2% of their 3-point attempts. Those are horrible defensive numbers and especially when considering an ample sample size for that futility to occur. Since the start of last season, Oklahoma City has gone 32-11 straight up versus teams with a losing record. Additionally, if those opponents had a win percentage of .250 to .400 like Cleveland currently has the Thunder improved to 18-3 straight up over that identical time frame. Furthermore, the Thunder is 12-1 straight up and 12-0-1 ATS in their last 13 road games when there’s been a point-spread oif 3.0 or less. Oklahoma is a respectable 7-9 straight up on the road this season and they covered 11 of those 15 contests. Bet on Oklahoma City minus the small number for a 5* wager. |

Minnesota @ New York 7:05 PM ET Game# 543-544 Play On: New York -3.0 (5*) Minnesota has gone an abysmal 5-23 straight up in their last 28 games. The Timberwolves are coming off an 86-81 home loss to Toronto in their previous outing. Minnesota is 0-5 straight up in their last 5 away following a home game and thy lost by 9.6 points per contest. I mention the straight up numbers since we are discussing a short line (+3.0) and takes on more significance. New York is a perfect 5-0 SU&ATS in their last 5 this season at home and when there was a line of +3.0 to -3.0. The Knicks won those 5 contests by a decisive average of 14.4 points per game. The Knicks are coming off a disappointing double-digit loss at Orlando which halted a season high 3-game win streak. Playing Minnesota today is just what the doctor ordered for the Knicks to recover quickly. Bet on New York minus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-21-21 | Davidson v. St Bonaventure UNDER 133.5 | 58-69 | Win | 100 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
Davidson @ St. Bonaventure 3:30 PM ET Game# 811-812 Play On: Under 133.5 (5*) These are 2 excellent defensive teams. St. Bonaventure is 1 of just 27 teams in the nation that have held opponents to less than 40% shooting for the season. The Bonnies are allowing only 61.8 points per game in Atlantic 10 Conference action. It should then come as no surprise when I say they played 9-2 to the under in conference play. Davidson has seen all 4 of their conference road games go under and there was just a combined 123.5 points scored per contest. Davidson will be playing their 2nd game in 3 days. Since the start of the 2018-2019 season, they have played 7-0 to the under when playing their 2nd game in 3 days, and there was a combined average of only 125.2 points scored per game. During their previous 5 games, Davidson has allowed a mere 57.6 points per contest, held them to a dismal 36.6% shooting, and opponents were getting to the free throw line an average of 12 time per outing. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |

Calgary @ Edmonton 10:05 PM ET Game# 23-24 Play On: Edmonton -127 (10*) Edmonton is coming off last night’s 2-1 win at Calgary. As a result, the Oilers have now won 4 of its last 5 and 8 of their previous 10 games. Furthermore, since the start of last season, Edmonton is an extremely profitable 10-1 versus the money line when playing with no rest. The Calgary power play has gone 4-33 (12.1%) on the road and 1-15 (6.7%) during its last 5 games overall. That’s not good news considering they will be facing an Oilers team tonight that averages a robust 3.7 goals scored per game at home. Bet on Edmonton for a 10* Top Play money line wager. |

During that futile stretch, the Kings allowed 124.0 points per game while their opponents shot a scalding hot 52.2% and converted on an alarmingly high 46.2% of its 3-point attempts. Chicago is coming off a 112-105 loss at Philadelphia last night. The Bulls have gone a perfect 3-0 SU&ATS in their last 3 following a loss in their previous game.

Colorado @ Oregon State 8:00 PM ET Game# 737-738 Play On: Oregon State +7.0 (5*) Colorado is clearly the better team, but I don’t like them at all in this spot. The Buffalos have dropped their last 2 games and despite their 16-7 overall record, they are just 4-5 in conference road games. Conversely, Oregon State has gone 5-0 SU&ATS in their last 5 conference home games. The Beavers are a perfect 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games this season as an underdog of 12.5 or less, and they won 4 of those contests straight up. Bet on Oregon State plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Louisville @ North Carolina 6:00 PM ET Game# 713-714 Play On: North Carolina -5.0 (5*) Louisville has gone just 2-3 in their last 5 games. The Cardinals haven’t played game in 19 days due to COVID-19 safety protocols. North Carolina is a perfect 7-0 straight up at home this season. If the Tar Heels (13-7) hope to get themselves back into NCAA Tournament consideration a huge winning effort today would go along way in entering that discussion.

Mississippi State @ Ole Miss 6:00 PM ET Game# 723-724 Play On: Ole Miss -7.0 (10*) Ole Miss has played themselves into NCAA Tournament consideration by going 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 games. Included in this current successful run was home wins over #20 Missouri by 21 and versus #19 Tennessee. The Rebels have also averaged 82.3 points scored per game and shot a sizzling hot 52.2% during their previous 3 contests. On the other side of the table is Mississippi State who has gone a poor 2-6 in their previous 8 games and is coming off an embarrassing 72-51 home loss to Vanderbilt. These are 2 teams that are clearly headed on opposite paths. Bet on Ole Miss minus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

Illinois @ Minnesota 3:30 PM ET Game# 657-658 Play On: Minnesota +5.0 (5*) You won’t find any team in the country this season that has a winning record but such a huge disparity between their home and away performances like Minnesota. The Golden Gophers are an abysmal 0-8 straight up and 1-7 in true road games this season. However, they are 13-1 straight up and 10-4 ATS at home. Minnesota has posted home wins over #3 Michigan, #4 Ohio State, #11 Iowa, and a solid Purdue (14-8/9-6) team. Now they get another chance to shine against #5 Illinois today who they lost to by 27 points on the road earlier this season. I’m betting on Golden Gophers coming up big at home against another nationally ranked team. Bet on Minnesota plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Notre Dame @ Syracuse 2:00 PM ET Game# 637-638 Play On: Over 150.0 (5*) Syracuse has gone under the total in each of their previous 2 games. The Orange have played 3-0 to the over this season following 2 straight games going under. Notre Dame has been red-hot offensively throughout their previous 5 contests. During that time, Notre Dame averaged 81.4 points scored per game while shooting 52.9% and they made an excellent 40.3% of their 3-point attempts. Furthermore, Notre Dame has shot 53.8% or better in all of their previous 4 conference road games. Both teams are among the best free throw shooting teams in the country with Notre Dame at 77.2% on the season and Syracuse comes in at 79.1%. These teams will be meeting for the first time this season. Both head to head meetings a season ago easily went over the total with a combined 166 and 173 points being scored. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager. |

02-20-21 | Texas Tech +1.5 v. Kansas | 61-67 | Loss | -108 | 3 h 33 m | Show | |
Texas Tech @ Kansas 2:00 PM ET Game# 639-640 Play On: Texas Tech +1.5 (5*) Texas Tech will be out to avenge a home loss to Kansas earlier this season. The Red Raiders are also coming off 82-71 home loss to West Virginia in their last game. Conversely, Kansas is 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 contests and had an average victory margin of 19.3 points per game. Additionally, the Jayhawks are 10-1 at home this season. Yet, Kansas is just a 1.5-point home favorite in this spot despite numerous factors pointing toward them being the pick in this matchup. It’s never that easy when it comes to sports betting. Having said that, I am going with a contrarian approach. Bet on Texas Tech for a 5* wager. |

02-19-21 | Jazz -4.5 v. Clippers | 112-116 | Loss | -114 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
Utah @ LA Clippers 10:05 PM ET Game# 519-520 Play On: Utah -4.5 (5*) If it isn’t broke, then don’t fix it. Utah is on an incredible run which has saw them go 20-1 straight up and 19-2 ATS during their previous 21 games. That includes 9-0 SU&ATS in their last 9 and with a decisive average victory margin of 14.9 points per game. All 9 wins came by 8 points or more. The Clippers stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are listed as questionable at the time of this writing. The Jazz have held the Clippers to 96 and 100 points scored in their 2 meetings this season while on their way to going 2-0 SU&ATS. The Clippers have lost 3 of their last 5 at home including a 114-96 defeat to Utah on Wednesday night. Bet on Utah minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Chicago @ Philadelphia 7:35 PM ET Game# 505-506 Play On: Chicago +8.5 (5*) It’s tough to go against a Philadelphia team that has gone 41-4 at home since the start of last season. However, this is a sizable number to cover against a Bulls team which has held its own on the road this season. The Bulls are 7-6 straight up and 10-3 ATS on the road this season. That includes a spotless 3-0 SU&ATS in their previous 3 as a road underdog and they had a substantial average victory margin of 12.3 points per game. Chicago is also coming off a stirring comeback win over Detroit in a game they overcame a massive 25-point 1st half deficit. The confidence gained in that win and profitable road record makes Chicago a strong betting value in this spot when considering they are a sizable underdog. By the way, Philadelphia has failed to cover in 4 straight games and lost 3 of those outright. Bet on Chicago plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Denver @ Cleveland 7:05 PM ET Game# 575-576 Play On: Denver -9.0 (5*) Here we have a Nuggets team that has gone 0-5 SU&ATS in their last 5 road games and yet they’re a considerable favorite in this contest. The sportsbooks just aren’t that generous and it caused me to look twice at this matchup. Cleveland enters today on an 8-game losing streak while failing to cover in 7 of those contests and they were outscored by a massive average of 22.6 points per outing. The Cavaliers have allowed 127.6 points per game in their last 5 and their opponents shot a sizzling hot 52.8%. Denver has shot a more than respectable 48.5% over their previous 5 games. The Nuggets are a much better team than their 15-13 season record indicates. Bet on Denver minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Los Angeles @ Arizona 9:05 PM ET Game# 61-62 Play On: Under 5.5 (5*) Los Angeles is coming off their best defensive effort of the season and it resulted in a 4-0 home win over Minnesota. I look for them to be committed to that defensive effort again tonight. Arizona goaltender Darcy Kuemper has been sensational in 7 home starts this season while recording a brilliant .940 save percentage in those outings. One of those home starts was in Arizona’s previous game in which the Coyotes won 1-0 over St. Louis. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |

02-18-21 | Rutgers v. Michigan -9 | 64-71 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
Rutgers @ Michigan 9:00 PM ET Game# 763-764 Play On: Michigan -9.0 (5*) Rutgers is a deceiving 5-1 in their last 6 games. However, only 1 of those contests came against a ranked team and it resulted in a 79-66 loss at #11 Iowa. Additionally, 2 of those wins came over Northwestern who is on a present 12-game losing streak, and another came at home against a Minnesota team that is 0-8 in true road games this season. If we take into consideration that Rutgers plays in a conference that has 5 teams ranked within the Top 21 national rankings, the Scarlet Knights have been beneficiaries of a soft schedule of late. It also must be noted, prior to their current 5-1 straight up run, Rutgers went 0-5 SU&ATS in the preceding 5 contests. The Scarlet Knights are also 0-5 SU&ATS in their last 5 games against ranked teams. Michigan has been dominant at home this season while going an unscathed 10-0 and won by an average of 18.0 points per game. Even more impressive is the fact that the Wolverines are 4-0 SU&ATS in their previous 4 conference home games and one by a substantial 22.7 points per contest. Michigan is coming off a 67-59 win at #21 Wisconsin in their previous game. Since the start of last season, the Wolverines are 6-0 SU&ATS following a game in which they allowed 60 points or fewer and had an enormous victory margin of 24.0 points per game. Michigan has gone 9-0 straight up and 7-2 ATS versus Rutgers since they joined the Nig 10 Conference. Bet on Michigan minus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-18-21 | Islanders +107 v. Penguins | 1-4 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
NY Islanders @ Pittsburgh 7:05 PM ET Game# 49-50 Play On: NY Islanders +107 (5*) Pittsburgh’s goaltending duo of Tristan Jarry and Casey DeSmith has left much to be desired this season. The 2 have combined for a terrible .878 save percentage. It’s a good reason why Pittsburgh is 29th in the NHL when it comes to scoring defense while having allowed 3.6 goals per game. The Islanders are expected to go with red-hot Semyon Varlamov in goal tonight. During his last 4 starts Varlamov has posted an excellent .948 save percentage. The Islanders as a team are allowing a mere 1.4 goals per game throughout their previous 5. During that span, they also posted 2 shutouts and each of those came in road games. Since the start of the 2018-2019 season, the Islanders have gone 9-4 against the money line versus Pittsburgh and that includes 4-1 on the road. Bet on the Islanders for a 5* money line wager. |

Nashville @ Columbus 7:05 PM ET Game# 51-52 Play On: Columbus -117 (5*) Nashville is a poor 1-5 against the money line on the road this season and is being outscored by an average of 2.0 goals per game. The Predators are allowing an alarmingly high 4.0 goals per game throughout its last 8 appearances. The Predators special teams units have been brutal this season and that’s putting it nicely. Nashville will be facing a Columbus team coming off 2 straight losses. Nevertheless, The Blue Jackets are a perfect 3-0 this season following back-to-back losses. Simply put, Columbus hasn’t lost 3 in a row versus the money line all season and that streak stays intact after this game goes final. Bet on Columbus for a 5* money line wager. |

Houston @ Wichita State 7:00 PM ET Game# 737-738 Play On: Wichita State +7.5 (5*) Wichita State lost at #6 Houston 70-63 earlier this season but covered easily as an 11.0-point underdog. The Shockers are 8-2 at home this season. Their only 2 home losses came to #20 Missouri and an Oklahoma State (14-6) team that’s destined for a NCAA Tournament invite. Both defeats occurred in early December. It must be noted that Wichita State is an unscathed 5-0 straight up in conference home games. Additionally, the Shockers enter today’s game on a 4-game win streak. It’s not like Houston has been invisible in American Athletic Conference play. The Cougars have suffered road losses to East Carolina as a 16.5-point chalk and Tulsa as a 9.5-point favorite. Bet on Wichita State plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Iowa @ Wisconsin 7:00 PM ET Game# 739-740 Play On: Wisconsin -1.5 (5*) Iowa is coming off an 88-58 blowout win over Michigan State. The Hawkeyes led that contest 46-27 at halftime. Iowa is 1-4 straight up this season following a game in which they scored 45 points or more in the 1st half. Wisconsin is coming off a 67-59 home loss to #3 Michigan. However, the Badgers are 6-0 SU&ATS following a loss this season and won by 10.7 points per game. Wisconsin has traditionally had one of the strongest home courts in college basketball over the past 2 decades. As a matter fact, the Badgers are 300-45 at home since the start of the 2000-2001 season and that includes 152-30 in Big 10 Conference games. They have lost 3 times at home this season which is highly unusual., but 2 of those defeats came at the hands of the #4 Ohio State Buckeyes and against previously mentioned #3 Michigan. Bet on Wisconsin for a 5* wager. |

Boise State (12-3) trails Utah State (11-2) by percentage points for first place in the Mountain West Conference standings. Boise State can help their regular season conference title chances out immensely with a pair of home wins versus Utah State tonight and Friday. However, you can’t win 2 games without winning 1 first. Bet on Boise State for a 5* wager. |

Minnesota @ Indiana 9:00 PM ET Game# 713-714 Play On: Indiana -6.0 (5*) Minnesota has won 5 home games this season versus opponents that were ranked in the Top 25 at the time they played them. However, they put on another face in true road games where they have gone a dismal 0-7 straight up and 1-6 ATS while being outscored by 16.8 points per contest. The Golden Gophers have shot a pathetic 33.8% on the road this season and a terrible -8 rebounds per game. If Indiana wants to keep their NCAA Tournament at-large bid alive, a decisive win in this spot will unquestionably improve their chances. This is an experienced Hoosiers team that went 2-0 SU&ATS versus Minnesota last season. Bet on Indiana minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Detroit @ Chicago 8:05 PM ET Game# 577-578 Play On: Detroit +3.5 (10*) Detroit has been a huge money maker as an underdog. As a matter of fact, the Piston have gone 15-7 ATS in their last 22 as an underdog. Detroit is also 3-1 SU&ATS in their last 4 games overall. Conversely, Chicago is a poor 3-6 SU&ATS this season in their last 9 as a favorite. Additionally, Chicago is 0-4 SU&ATS in their last 4 games following a win. Both teams are coming off straight up underdog wins in which their opponent shot 40% or better. This sets up a recent NBA betting angle which I couldn’t ignore and is displayed below. Since 11/1/2019, Any NBA away underdog that’s coming off a straight up win as an underdog and they allowed that opponent to shoot 40% or better, versus a team (Chicago) that allowed their previous opponent to shoot 40% or better, resulted in those away underdogs going 18-4 ATS (81.8%). Those away underdogs also won 14 of those 22 contests straight up. Bet on Detroit plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

02-17-21 | Pacers v. Wolves +5.5 | 134-128 | Loss | -114 | 6 h 5 m | Show | |
Indiana @ Minnesota 8:05 PM ET Game# 561-562 Play On: Minnesota +5.5 (5*) Indiana has scored 111 points or more in each of their previous 2 games. The Pacers are a dismal 2-9 straight up this season after scoring 110 or more in 2 consecutive games. Indiana will be facing a Minnesota team with a poor 7-21 (.250) record. However, the Pacers are just 2-7 straight up this season when facing teams with a win percentage of .250 to .400. Indiana has gone a terrible 3-7 SU&ATS in their last 10 games and they were a favorite on 8 of those occasions. Despite their horrible overall record, Minnesota has gone an outstanding 7-1-2 ATS during their previous 10 games with 9 of those coming as an underdog. They sack the ability to hit 3-point shots at a high rate is a great equalizer for an underdog. Well, if that indeed is the case, Minnesota has made a superb 41.1% of their 3-point attempts over its last 5 games and averaged an impressive 16 makes per game. The Timberwolves are coming off a 8-point home loss to the Lakers last night. They are 2-0 SU&ATS this season when playing at home with no rest and were a dog in each occurrence. Bet on Minnesota plus the points for a 5* wager. |

The total in this game is well below the NBA average, but for good reason. These teams have met 3 times since the start of last season included once this year. All 3 of those meetings went under the total and there was only a combined 187.0 points scored per game. Orlando has seen their last 10 go under when they were an underdog and with total of 214.5 or less. Those 10 contests averaged a combined 192.5 points scored per game. The Magic have scored less than 100 points in 12 of their first 24 games and tonight they’ll be facing arguably the best defensive team in the NBA. New York has held 3 of their last 4 and 4 of its previous 6 opponents to fewer than 100 points. The last 4 times the Knicks had a total of 210.0 or less this season, they held their opponents to 98 points or less in all those contests and 84 or fewer 3 times. The Knicks have also played 5-0 to the under in their last 5 on the road and there was just a combined 203.0 points scored per game. Bet on this game to go under for a 5* wager. |

Kentucky @ Vanderbilt 7:00 PM ET Game# 687-688 Play On: Vanderbilt +4.0 (5*) Kentucky shouldn’t be a road favorite against anyone right now, and that even includes a 6-10 team like Vanderbilt. The Wildcats are 0-4 SU&ATS in their last 4 SEC road games. Despite coming off a 2-point home win over Auburn, Kentucky has lost 4 of 5 and 7 of their last 9 games. Vanderbilt is coming off a huge 21-point upset win at Mississippi State in their previous outing. That gave the Commodores 5 consecutive covers with all coming as an underdog.

Washington @ Washington State 8:00 PM ET Game# 847-848 Play On: Over 142.5 (10*) Washington has played 6-0 to the over in true road games this season. Those 6 contests had an average total of 140.0 and there was a combined 161.7 points scored per contest. Washington State has gone over the total in each of their previous 4 contests and did so by an average of 9.5 points per game. These teams met earlier this season and Washington State came away with a 77-62 road win. That contest barely went under the closing total of 140.0. However, both teams were terrible at the free throw line in that contest. They both combined to go just 27-45 (60%) from the charity stripe. That many free throw attempts will likely occur again this evening. But it’s highly probable these teams will convert at a much better percentage than they did in their earlier season matchup.

Florida State has also recorded quality non-conference home wins over Indiana and Florida. Conversely, Virginia’s only 3 losses this season have either come in away or neutral site games. The #9 Cavaliers (15-3) will have their hands full on Monday against a deep Florida State team with an extremely strong home court of advantage regardless of attendance. Bet on Florida State for a 5* wager. |

02-14-21 | Michigan v. Wisconsin | 67-59 | Loss | -111 | 3 h 54 m | Show | |
Michigan @ Wisconsin 1:00 PM ET Game# 793-794 Play On: Wisconsin (Pick) (5*) Let me start by saying this, Michigan (13-1) is an exceptional team. However, the #3 Wolverines will be playing their first game in 24 days due to COVID related issues. The #21 Badgers have traditionally held a better than average home court edge for at least the last 2 decades. Recent proof of that is their 29-3 record throughout their last 32 home games. That was heavily considered when handicapping this game given the current pint-spread in this contest. Bet on Wisconsin for a 5* wager. |

Jacob Markstrom is scheduled to be in goal for Calgary tonight, and he’s posted a brilliant .931 save percentage in 5 road starts this season. Markstrom is also 3-0 this season versus his formed team and compiled an excellent .968 save percentage while stopping 90 of 93 shots on goal. Calgary dominated Vancouver in those games by outscoring them 11-3. Bet on Calgary for a 5* money line wager. |

Carolina @ Dallas 8:05 PM ET Game# 73-74 Play On: Carolina -117 (5*) Carolina has gone 3-0 against Dallas this season and outscored them by a decisive 13-7 margin. This isn’t a good matchup for Dallas besides their recent failures against Carolina. The Hurricanes are averaging 32.4 shot on goal and have converted on 23.8% of their power play chances.

Tampa Bay @ Florida 7:05 PM ET Game# 67-68 Play On: Florida +122 (5*) The defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning are a perfect 6-0 at home this season. However, they’re just 2-3 versus the money line during their previous 3 on the road. They were a money line favorite on each of those occasions. NHL bettors that played to win $200 a game on Tampa in those 5 away tilts lost $540. Saturday will be the finale of a 4-game in 6-day road trip for the Lightning. Tampa Bay is coming off a 5-2 loss at Florida on Thursday and a 6-1 win at Nashville. The Lightning have gone a dismal 7-17 against the money line since last season after playing back-to-back games that had a combined 7 goals or more being scored. Conversely, Florida is 3-0 this season after scoring 5 or more goals in their previous game. Bet on Florida for a 5* money line underdog wager. |

However, they will be playing against unequivocally the hottest team in the NBA tonight. Utah has won 16 of their last 17 and covered on 15 of those occasions. During that identical stretch, 13 of Utah’s 16 wins have come by double-digit margins. The Jazz will enter this contest riding a 10-game home win streak.

Morehead State @ Tennessee State 9:00 PM ET Game# 749-750 Play On: Under 131.5 (5*) Tennessee State ranks 352nd out of 357 Division 1 teams when it comes to offensive efficiency. That is calculated by home many points teams score per 100 offensive possessions. Tennessee State has played 6-0 to the under during its last 6 at home and there was a combined average of only 127.5 points scored per game. They have also been anemic offensively throughout their previous 5 contests while averaging a mere 61.2 points per game while shooting an abysmal 37.9% from the floor. Morehead State is unequivocally the best defensive team in the Ohio Valley Conference. During conference action, Morehead is allowing 59.0 points per contest in 14 games played, and 10 of those went under. They did however go over the total in their previous game versus Appalachian State. Nonetheless, Morehead State has gone 4-0 to the under this season following an over in their previous contest, and there was a miniscule 119.5 combined points scored per game. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |

02-11-21 | Pacers v. Pistons +3 | 111-95 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
Indiana @ Detroit 8:05 ET Game# 533-534 Play On: Detroit +3.0 (5*) Indiana limps into today’s game while having gone 0-4 SU&ATS during its last 4 and lost by an average of 9.8 points per game. Last night at Brooklyn, Indiana was down 62-30 at the half. However, they expended a ton of energy in the 2nd half but still fell short in a 10-point loss. Bouncing back from that type of performance with no rest on the road Detroit has gone an extremely profitable 8-1 ATS in their last 9 this season as a home underdog, and they won 5 of those contests straight up. As a matter of fact, the Pistons are 3-0 SU&ATS in their previous 3 at home while defeating quality opponents such as the Nets, Lakers, and 76ers. This will be the first time that Detroit is facing Indiana this season. You may be surprised to know they went 3-1 straight up and 3-0-1 ATS versus the Pacers a season ago. Bet on Detroit plus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-11-21 | Colorado v. Stanford +1 | 69-51 | Loss | -108 | 3 h 24 m | Show | |
Colorado @ Stanford 7:00 PM ET Game# 717-718 Play On: Stanford +1.0 (5*) For starters, Stanford will be out to avenge an earlier season 77-64 loss at Colorado. The Cardinal enter today on a modest 2-game win streak. Since the start of last season, Stanford is 9-1 straight up following wins in each of their previous 2 games, and outscored those 10 opponents by an average of 13.7 points per game. We must keep in mind, this is an experienced Stanford team that returned 4 starters from a season ago. So that previously stated straight up team trend takes on added significance for me. Conversely, Colorado has also won their last 2 games played with both coming at home. Since the 2018-2019 season, Colorado has gone 1-10 ATS in road games following home wins in each of its last 2 games. Bet on Stanford for a 5* wager. |

The average combined score in those 5 contests was 154.0 points per game. It’s worth noting, FDU has witnessed their last 5 contests having a total of 150.5 or greater. During their previous 5 games, FDU has scored a robust 82.6 points per contest and shot an impressive 48% from the field. Both teams are physical and there will most likely be many free throw attempts in today’s game. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 10* Top Play wager. |

02-10-21 | Cavs v. Nuggets -9.5 | 95-133 | Win | 100 | 5 h 7 m | Show | |
Cleveland @ Denver 9:05 PM ET Game# 527-528 Play On: Denver -9.5 (5*) Cleveland has gone 0-5 ATS in their last 5 as an underdog and lost by an average of 18.4 points per game. The Cavaliers have allowed 121.7 points per game during their previous 4 outings while their opponents combined to shoot an alarmingly high 53.4%. Conversely, Denver is 4-0 SU&ATS during its previous 4 as a favorite of 4.5 or more and won by an average of 20.0 points per game. The Nuggets have gone a dismal 0-3 SU&ATS in their last 3 games and failed to cover by a combined 34.5 points. Cleveland is coming off a 119-113 loss at Phoenix and that contest went over the total of 212.5. This sets up an extremely profitable NBA betting angle which is displayed below. Any NBA favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points (Denver) who failed to cover its last 3 games by a combined 30 points or greater, and they are facing an opponent that went over the total in their previous game by 18 points or more, resulted in those favorites going 31-8 ATS (79.5%) during the past 5 seasons, and 18-3 ATS (85.7%) during the previous 3 seasons. Bet on Denver minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Rutgers @ Iowa 7:30 PM ET Game# 655-656 Play On: Rutgers +6.5 (5*) Iowa is in the middle of a tailspin which has seen them go 1-4 straight up and 0-5 ATS during their previous 5 games. Conversely, Rutgers has regained their mojo after going through a midseason slump. The Scarlets Knights enter tonight’s contest on a 4-game win streak. Rutgers will also be out to revenge a 77-75 home loss to Iowa earlier this season. The difference in that game came at the free throw line. Iowa was 18-23 from the charity stripe while Rutgers was a poor 4-12. It is unlikely we will see that big of disparity this evening. Bet on Rutgers plus the points for a 5* wager. |
