02-09-21 | Celtics v. Jazz -5.5 | 108-122 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
Boston @ Utah 10:05 PM ET Game# 511-512 Play On: Utah -5.5 (5*) NBA bettors have fallen in love with the Celtics whenever they are installed as an underdog. Afterall, since the start of last season, Boston has gone an extremely profitable 20-10 ATS as an underdog. However, they have gone just 5-4 ATS this season when cast into this role. Furthermore, tonight will be the finale of a grueling 5-game in 8-day road trip for Boston, and they will be facing the hottest team in the NBA. The Utah Jazz are 14-1 straight up and 13-2 ATS throughout their previous 15 games, and that includes 12-0 SU&ATS as a favorite of 12.0-points or fewer. They won those 12 contests by a decisive margin of 14.6 points per game. Bet on Utah minus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-09-21 | 76ers v. Kings +5 | 119-111 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
Philadelphia @ Sacramento 10:05 PM ET Game# 509-510 Play On: Sacramento +5.0 (5*) Since the start of last season, Philadelphia has gone a dismal 8-16 ATS as a road favorite. They also lost 11 of those 24 games straight up. The 76ers are coming off a 124-108 home win over Brooklyn. Dating back to last season, Philadelphia is 2-12 ATS on the road following a game in which they scored 120 points or more. That includes 0-7 ATS in their last 7 as a road favorite and they lost 5 of those contests straight up. Sacramento is a red-hot 8-0 ATS during its last 5 games and won 7 of those contests straight up. Additionally, the Kings are a perfect 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 as an underdog. Their last 3 wins have come over good teams in Boston, Denver, and the Los Angeles Clippers. Bet on Sacramento plus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-09-21 | Rockets v. Pelicans -5.5 | 101-130 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
Houston @ New Orleans 7:35 PM ET Game# 505-506 Play On: New Orleans -5.5 (5*) This will be the Rockets 3rd game in 4 days and they went 0-2 SU&ATS during their previous 2. Those performances coincide with Houston’s loss of center Christian Wood who has averaged an impressive 22.0 points, and 10.0 rebounds per game this season. Houston is coming off an embarrassing 25-point loss at Charlotte (12-13) last night in which they scored an abysmal 7 points in the 4th quarter. Houston will also be without Victor Oladipo (rest) who is averaging 19.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game this season. New Orleans is a perfect 3-0 SU&ATS in their last 3 contests and shot 51.1% or better in each of those games. The Pelicans will enter today’s contest playing on 2 days of rest. Bet on New Orleans minus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-08-21 | Gonzaga v. BYU +11 | 82-71 | Push | 0 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
Gonzaga @ BYU 11:00 PM ET Game# 867-868 Play On: BYU +11.0 (5*) If any team can give #1 Gonzaga a competitive game or potentially pull of a significant upset, it would be BYU. Despite their dominance in Big West Conference play during recent years which includes this season, Gonzaga has gone a poor 1-4 ATS in conference home games during their 2020-2021 campaign. Conversely, BYU is 9-1 at home this season and that includes winning 6 in a row. They also possess an impressive 15-4 overall season record. Bet on BYU plus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-08-21 | Cavs v. Suns UNDER 215.5 | Top | 113-119 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
Cleveland @ Phoenix 9:05 PM ET Game# 571-572 Play On: Under 215.5 (10*) Cleveland has seen 7 of their last 8 away games go under the total and there was a combined average of 198.2 points scored per game. This will be the 13th time this season that Cleveland will be playing 6 or more games in 10 days. During the previous 12, the Cavaliers averaged just 94.9 points scored per game. The Suns have seen each of their last 4 at home go under the total and there was a combined average of only 199.5 points scored per game. During those previously mentioned 4 contest at home, Phenix held their opponents to a mere 94.5 points scored per game and 38.9% shooting. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager. |

02-08-21 | Ohio State v. Maryland +3 | 73-65 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 58 m | Show | |
Ohio State @ Maryland 9:00 PM ET Game# 861-862 Play On: Maryland +3.0 (5*) Ohio State is ranked the 4th best team in all of college basketball. The Buckeyes have gone 4-0 this season versus teams that were ranked in the Top 10 at the time they played them. Yet, they find themselves as a short favorite in this contest against an opponent who is 4-8 in Big 10 Conference play. It’s very rarely that easy if you already deemed Ohio State to be a gift with all that considered. Since 2016, Maryland has gone a perfect 4-0 SU&ATS at home versus Ohio State. Maryland has gone an uninspiring 10-9 this season. However, to this point they’ve played the 5th toughest schedule in the country according to KenPom statistics. Despite their perceived mediocrity, the Terrapins do own win this season over #6 Illinois, #21 Wisconsin, and #24 Purdue. Maryland is coming off a 55-50 loss at Penn State last Friday. They are 3-0 straight up in their previous 3 following a loss. The Terrapins haven’t lost 2 in a row for over a month. Bet on Maryland plus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-08-21 | Oklahoma State v. Kansas -6.5 | 66-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State @ Kansas 9:00 PM ET Game# 863-864 Play On: Kansas -6.5 (5*) Oklahoma State is the only ranked team in this matchup (#23) but finds themselves as a sizable underdog. Additionally, Kansas isn’t playing their best basketball right now as evidenced by them losing 5 of their last 7 games. On a more positive note, the Jayhawks have annually enjoyed one the strongest home court advantages in all of college basketball, and especially when considering they play in a Power 5 Conference. This year is no different. Kansas is 8-1 at home with their lone defeat coming against #13 Texas. The underdog is a sucker play from where I sit. Bet on Kansas minus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-07-21 | Chiefs v. Bucs UNDER 56 | Top | 9-31 | Win | 100 | 23 h 48 m | Show |
Kansas City @ Tampa Bay 6:30 PM ET Game# 101-102 Play On: Under 56.0 (10*) For starters 5 of the last 6 Super Bowls have played to the under when there was a total of 50.0 or greater. The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off a 38-24 win over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game. Since 10/1/18, Kansas City has played 7-2 to the under when there was a total of 52.0 or greater and after they scored 35 points or more. That took place with almost the identical offensive players as this season, and if anything, this year’s edition on defense may is better than the previous 2. The Chiefs will be facing a red-hot Tampa Bay defense. The Bucs are #1 against the run and have been for 2 years running. Tampa Bay is also 6th in total yards allowed per game and 4th in sacks with 48. The Tampa Bay defensive front 7 are outstanding and underrated. Look for Tampa Bay to invite Kansas City to run the ball and force them to be patient in the passing game by keeping everything in front of them. It’s likely the only time that plan gets abandoned is inside the red zone. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager. |

02-07-21 | Chiefs v. Bucs +3 | 9-31 | Win | 100 | 23 h 47 m | Show | |
Kansas City @ Tampa Bay 6:30 PM ET Game# 101-102 Play On: Tampa Bay +3.0 (5*) Kansas City has gone a terrific 12-1 over their last 13 games. As a matter of fact, their lone loss in that stretch came to the Chargers in Week 17 when they were resting all their key players including Patrick Mahomes. Nonetheless, they have been cutting it close on many occasions down the final stretch of the season. Specifically, 8 of the last 10 Kansas City wins have come by 6 points or fewer. During that same span, the Chiefs went a money-draining 2-8 ATS. For the first time in Super Bowl history an NFL team will be playing on its own home field. In this COVID era homefield advantage has been minimized considerably with limited to no attendance at every game played. However, there’s much to be said about the comfortability when playing in familiar surroundings. Tampa Bay enters this Super Bowl riding a 7-game win streak while also scoring 30 points or more in each of their last 6 contests. I look for the Bucs defense to step up big on Sunday and that ultimately will be the difference in this outcome. Bet on Tampa Bay plus the points. |

02-07-21 | Kings v. Clippers -8.5 | 113-110 | Loss | -106 | 3 h 51 m | Show | |
Kings @ Clippers 3:05 PM ET Game# 559-560 Play On: Clippers -8.5 (5*) Sacramento has been on a roll of late going 6-1 straight up and 7-0 ATS during their previous 7 games. The Clippers are coming off a home favorite 4-point loss to Boston in their last game. As strange as it might seem to you, I see this as a good situation for the sizable home favorite in this spot. The Clippers have gone 5-0 SU&ATS this season as a favorite of 11.0 or less following a loss in their previous game. The Clippers are also an extremely profitable 7-1 ATS in their last 7 as a favorite of 6.0 or greater. They won all 8 of those contests straight up and did so by an enormous margin of 21.8 points per game. Finally, the Clippers are 10-2 SU&ATS in their last 12 versus Sacramento. Those results against the Kings included 2-0 SU&ATS with victory margins of 38 and 19 points. Bet on the Clippers minus the points for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Nets v. 76ers -4.5 | 108-124 | Win | 100 | 6 h 6 m | Show | |
Nets @ 76ers 8:05 PM ET Game# 537-538 Play On: 76ers -4.5 (5*) The Nets are coming off a controversial home loss to Toronto last night and it all surrounded around Kevin Durant. Durant wasn’t allowed to start the game because of an inconclusive COVID-19 test. A 2nd test was administered and came up negative. However, during the 2nd half action Durant was pulled from that contest and designated under quarantine status stemming from COVID contact tracing protocols. ESPN has reported that Durant didn’t travel with the team to Philadelphia and could possibly miss multiple games. Additionally, since the start of last season, NBA road teams with no rest playing against Philadelphia have gone 0-10 straight up and that includes 0-7 ATS in the last 7. Philadelphia is coming off an embarrassing 121-106 home loss to Portland in their previous. I say embarrassing not only because of the 15-point margin, but because Portland’s starting guards C.J. McCollum and Damien Lillard sat out due to injuries. However, despite that recent defeat, since the start of last season Philadelphia has gone 39-4 straight up at home. Bet on the 76ers minus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-06-21 | Creighton v. Marquette UNDER 145.5 | 71-68 | Win | 100 | 5 h 47 m | Show | |
Creighton @ Marquette 5:00 PM ET Game# 701-702 Play On: Under 145.5 (5*) Sometimes it’s just about trusting the math, and this is one of those instances. Creighton has gone 3-0 to the under in their last 3 road contests when there was a total of 149.5 or less. Those 3 outings averaged only a combined 133.0 points scored per game. Conversely, Marquette went over the total in their previous game. They have seen 4 of their last 5 games go under following an over during their previous contests. Those 5 contests averaged only a combined 136.3 points scored per game. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | Wisconsin v. Illinois -3.5 | Top | 60-75 | Win | 100 | 3 h 26 m | Show |
Wisconsin @ Illinois 2:30 PM ET Game# 657-658 Play On: Illinois -3.5 (10*) This will be a statement game for #12 Illinois against a #19 ranked conference opponent in Wisconsin. The Illini are much better than even their 12-5 overall record indicates. According to the highly respected Kenpom rankings that accounts for offensive and defensive efficiency in addition to strength of schedule, Illinois ranks #5 nationally. They also have Illinois as having faced the 4th most difficult schedule of all the 347 Division 1 teams. Illinois is coming off a 75-71 overtime win at Indiana in their previous game which extended their unbeaten streak to a modest 3-games. Conversely, Wisconsin has gone a mediocre 4-3 in their last 7 games which includes a pair of losses on their usually extremely strong home court. Bet on Illinois minus the points for a 10* Top Play. |

02-06-21 | St. John's +2 v. Providence | 92-81 | Win | 100 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
St. John’s @ Providence 2:00 PM ET Game# 633-634 Play On: St. John’s +2.0 (5*) Providence has gone in a bit of a tailspin of late having lost 6 of its last 8 games. The Friars have been an offensively challenged team on most instances this season. As a matter of fact, throughout their previous 5 contests Providence has scored a mere 63.4 points per game while shooting just 39%. St. John’s has been red-hot recently by going 5-0 SU&ATS over their previous 5 contests and they’ve covered in 7 consecutive games. The Red Storm are also 3-0 SU&ATS in their prior 3 road games. Bet on St. John’s for a 5* wager. |

02-06-21 | Kansas v. West Virginia -2 | 79-91 | Win | 100 | 4 h 54 m | Show | |
Kansas @ West Virginia 2:00 PM ET Game# 639-640 Play On: West Virginia -2.0 (5*) For starters, Kansas is 1-3 straight up and 0-4 ATS during their previous 4 away games. West Virginia will be playing with big time revenge today stemming from a 14-point loss at Kansas earlier this season. The #17 Mountaineers have also lost their last 5 against Kansas but that didn’t deter the sportsbooks from opening them up as a short favorite in this matchup. Bet on West Virginia for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | East Carolina v. Memphis -12.5 | 59-66 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
East Carolina @ Memphis 2:00 PM ET Game# 643-644 Play On: Memphis -12.5 (5*) East Carolina is coming off an enormous 82-73 upset at #5 Houston and did so as a 16.5-point underdog. Nevertheless, the sportsbooks were unfazed and made them a doble-digit road underdog once again in today’s American Athletic Conference matchup versus Memphis. It must be noted, the Pirates had gone 0-5 SU&ATS in their previous 5 contests before pulling off that stunner at Houston this past Wednesday. Memphis is a terrific defensive team and that’s especially been the case against conference opponents. The Tigers are 7-3 in conference play and have held their 10 opponents to only 61.9 points per game and 39.0% shooting. Despite putting up 82 points in their win at Houston, East Carolina is averaging an uninspiring 63.6 points scored per game while shooting just 40.1% in conference action. Memphis dominated East Carolina in an earlier season meeting in an 80-53 road blowout win. They held the Pirates to an awful 29.7% shooting performance, forced 16 turnovers, and had a +10 rebounding advantage. Bet on Memphis minus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-05-21 | Celtics v. Clippers -6.5 | 119-115 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Celtics @ Clippers 10:05 PM ET Game# 527-528 Play On: Clippers -6.5 (5*) Boston will once again be without 3 key guards tonight. The trio that will be missing are Kemba Walker, Marcus Smart, and impressive rookie Payton Pritchard. That trio has combined to score 35.8 points per game this season. The line has certainly been adjusted as a result. However, and more importantly it lessens Boston’s quality depth considerably. That can’t be ignored when considering the Celtics will be playing in their 3rd game in 4 days. The Clippers come into this contest having won 6 home games in a row. They have also gone 6-0 SU&ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite of 12.5 or less, and there was an enormous winning margin of 25.4 points per game. Bet on the Clippers minus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-05-21 | Jazz v. Hornets +8.5 | 138-121 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 35 m | Show | |
Jazz @ Hornets 8:05 PM ET Game# 513-514 Play On: Hornets +8.5 (5*) Dating back to last season, Charlotte has gone 6-0 ATS during their last 10 games as a home underdog of 5.5-points or greater, and they won straight up on 3 of those occasions. Despite going a red-hot 13-1 in their last 14 games, Utah played last night in Atlanta, and this will also will be their 3rd game in 4 days. Any NBA home underdog facing an opponent coming off a road win by 10 points or greater and has a winning record, resulted in those home underdogs going 45-20 ATS (69.2%) since the 2016-2017 season. Furthermore, those home underdogs went a more than respectable 35-30 straight up in those contests. Bet on the Hornets plus the points for a 5* wager. |
|||||||
02-05-21 | Pelicans v. Pacers OVER 228 | 114-113 | Loss | -104 | 5 h 36 m | Show | |
Pelicans @ Pacers 7:05 PM ET Game# 515-516 Play On: Over 228.0 (5*) Sometimes styles dictate outcomes when it comes to NBA totals. Specifically speaking, the offensive tempo at which both these teams prefer to play at points toward a fast paced and high scoring game. For example, New Orleans has averaged 93 field goal attempts per contest throughout their previous 5 games which is a rapid pace even by NBA standards. It also must be noted, the Pacers last 5 opponents have averaged 93 field goal attempts per game. Additionally, the Pelicans have played 13-2 to the over during their last 15 contests, and that includes 8-0 if the number was 232.0 or less all while a combined 237.1 points were scored per game. Indiana has gone 8-2 to the over in its last 10 games and that includes 3-0 over during their previous 3. The Pacers have also gone over the total in 4 straight at home when there was a total of 217.5 or greater. Those 4 contests produced a combined 239.5 points scored per game. Both teams in this contest shoot the 3-point shot well and defend it terribly. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager. |

02-04-21 | Nuggets +5.5 v. Lakers | 93-114 | Loss | -113 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
Nuggets @ Lakers 10:05 PM ET Game# 509-510 Play On: Nuggets +5.5 (5*) The Lakers are coming off a grueling 7-game in 12-day road trip and won 5 of those 7 contests. My experience has led me to fade NBA home favorites coming off a successful road trip of 5 games or more. That’s especially the case if they are facing a quality opponent like the Denver Nuggets. The Lakers are also just 2-3 straight up and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 at home. Denver will enter tonight’s game with 3-days of rest since defeating Utah in their previous outing. That Denver victory ended a Utah 11-game winning streak. That makes the Nuggets 6-1 SU&ATS in their last 7 games. The Nuggets are also 7-2 straight up in its last 9 road games and covered on 6 of those occasion. The Nuggets will also be playing with big time revenge after losing to the Lakers in last season’s Western Conference Finals in 5 games. Denver is 2-0 SU&ATS versus the Lakers in their last 2 trips to the Staples Center and won by double-digit margins on both occasions. Bet on the Nuggets plus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-04-21 | Rockets +3.5 v. Grizzlies | 115-103 | Win | 100 | 6 h 46 m | Show | |
Rockets @ Grizzlies 9:05 PM ET Game# 507-508 Play On: Rockets +3.5 (5*) Memphis is coming off a 134-116 loss at Indiana on Tuesday which ender their 7-game win streak. After losing their first 5 home games of the season, Memphis has won 3 in a row on its home floor. However, those 3 home wins came by only a combined 11 points. Since the trade of James Harden Houston has transitioned quite nicely. The biggest improvement seems to be on the defensive end. Throughout their previous 5 games, the Rockets have allowed just 102.2 points per contest and held opponents to a pedestrian 32.2% conversion rate from 3-point territory. As a matter of fact, the Rockets rank #2 in the NBA in defensive efficiency this season. They are allowing just 103.6 points per 100 offensive possessions by their opponents. The Rockets are coming off a 104-87 upset loss as a 6.5-point chalk at Oklahoma City last night. That defeat put a halt to a Rockets 6-game win streak. They will be back on track tonight. Bet on the Rockets plus the points for a 5* wager. |

02-04-21 | Minnesota v. Rutgers -5.5 | Top | 72-76 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 54 m | Show |
Minnesota @ Rutgers 9:00 PM ET Game# 763-764 Play On: Rutgers -5.5 (10*) Minnesota has been exceptionally good at home this season having beaten 4 Top 25 teams along the way. However, on the road has been a whole different story for the Golden Gophers. They have gone 0-5 SU&ATS in true road games and lost by a substantial average of 19.6 points per contest. Throughout their previous 5 games overall, Minnesota has been inept offensively while averaging just 62.8 points scored per contest and shooting an awful 36.8% from the floor. During that identical stretch, they were also at a terrible -8 rebound per game differential while going 1-4 SU&ATS. Rutgers spent the early part of this season ranked in the Top 25. They then went through a rough patch and found themselves on the outside looking in. Nevertheless, they have bounced back to go 3-0 SU&ATS in their last 3 games. After going an outstanding 15-1 at home a season ago, Rutgers has lost 3 home games this season. It must be noted, those 3 losses came at the hands of #19 Wisconsin, #7 Ohio State, and #8 Iowa. I look for a huge effort for the Scarlet Knights that will result in a comfortable win and cover. Bet on Rutgers minus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

Warriors @ Mavericks 7:35 PM Game# 503-504 Play On: Warriors +3.5 (5*) Dallas is coming off a 6-point road win at Atlanta last night which ended a brutal 0-6 SU&ATS stretch. The Mavericks have gone an abysmal 0-5 SU&ATS in their last 5 at home. Dallas has a disappointing season record of 9-13. Dallas is 0-3 SU&ATS in their last 3 games this season when playing with no rest and they lost by a decisive margin of 18.0 points per contest. Golden State is coming off a 4-point home loss to Boston on Tuesday. That dropped their season record to 11-10 (.524) Any NBA road team (Warriors) with a win percentage of .510 to .600 that is coming off a home loss and they’re facing an opponent (Mavericks) with a losing record, resulted in those road teams going 44-22 (66.7%) straight up during the past 5 seasons. The straight up betting angle takes on added significance since it backs the underdog in this matchup. Bet on the Warriors plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Celtics @ Kings 10:05 PM ET Game# 577-578 Play On: Kings +1.5 (5*) The Celtics are coming off a hard fought 111-107 road win at Golden State last night which broke a 2-game losing streak. Each of their previous 3 games have been decided by 4 points or fewer. Sacramento is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games with their last 4 coming as an underdog. They also won 4 of those 5 games straight up. During that 5-game stretch they shot an impressive 48.2% from the field and made 38.2% of its 3-point shot attempts. Throughout that identical stretch, they covered those contests by a combined 39.5 points. Since the start of the 2018-2019 season, NBA non-conference home underdog who were a +35.0 points or greater throughout its previous 5 games has gone 17-7 straight up. Bet on the Kings for a 5* wager. |

Clippers @ Cavaliers 8:05 PM ET Game# 563-564 Play On: Cleveland +8.0 (5*) The Clippers seem to be in a classic letdown spot. They are coming off a 124-120 loss at Brooklyn last night in a hyped TNT nationally televised game. Now they take on Cleveland (10-11) who’s perceived to be a below average Eastern Conference team while doing so with no rest while being installed as a sizable road favorite. This will also be a finale of a grueling 6-game in 9-day road trip for the Clippers. Additionally, it will be their 3rd game in 4 days. Cleveland has gone 4-0 ATS in their last 4 this season as a home underdog and won 3 of those contests straight up. That stretch included beating Brooklyn twice and covering against the Lakers. Bet on the Cavaliers plus the points for a 5* wager. |

76ers @ Hornets 7:05 PM ET Game# 561-562 Play On: Hornets +7.0 (5*) Philadelphia is coming road wins in each of their previous 2 games played. Philadelphia hasn’t won 3 straight games with all coming on the road since the 2015-2016 season. Despite those previously mentioned 2 road wins, the 76ers are still a dismal 15-29 SU&ATS in away games since the start of last season. Furthermore, during that span the 76ers were a money draining 8-15 ATS as a favorite while losing 11 of those contests straight up. Conversely, they have gone an incredible 39-3 straight up and 27-15-2 ATS on their home floor since the start of last season. It would be accurate if you classified them as a textbook Jekyll and Hyde team. Dating back to last season, Charlotte has gone an extremely profitable 9-2 ATS in their last 11 as a home underdog. That includes a perfect 6-0 ATS if they were an underdog of 5.5 or greater and won 3 of those contests straight up. The Hornets have allowed 105 points or more in ach of their last 5 games. Since the start of last season, Charlotte is 17-5 ATS following 3 straight games in which they allowed 105 points or more, and that includes a perfect 4-0 SU&ATS this season with 3 of those as an underdog. |

Detroit @ Utah 10:05 PM ET Game# 555-556 Play On: Utah -12.0 (5*) I very rarely play on an NBA double-digit favorite, but this is an exception to the rule. Utah is a perfect 10-0 ATS in their last 10 as a favorite and won by an average of 15.9 points per game. Those results include 2-0 ATS as a double-digit favorite with an average victory margin of 22.0 points per game. Utah is 3rd in the NBA in 3-point shooting at 39.9%. The Jazz average making a sizable 17 three-point shots per game. Conversely, Detroit is #28 in the NBA in 3-point defense while allowing opponent to convert on an alarmingly high 39.2% of their attempts. The Pistons are a terrible 1-8 on the road so far this season On the other hand, Utah has gone 7-0 SU&ATS in their last 7 as a home favorite with an average victory margin of 16.4 points per contest..

North Carolina @ Clemson 7:00 PM ET Game# 623-624 Play On: North Carolina -2.5 (5*) These are two teams appeared headed on opposite paths. After going an uninspiring 5-4 to start this season, North Carolina has rebounded to win 6 of its last 7 games. North Carolina has averaged 80.3 points scored per game and shot a red-hot 51.3% during their previous 3 contests. The Tar Heels continue to be the top offensive rebounding team in the country at 14 per game. North Carolina has outrebounded their opponents this season by a dominating +11 per game. Conversely, Clemson started the season 9-1 and was ranked in the Top 25. Since that point, they’ve gone 1-4 during their previous 5 games. Clemson won’t be able to handle the North Carolina frontcourt players on the boards. During their last 3 games, Clemson has scored only an average of 56.0 points per contest, shot an awful 33.7% from the field, and was -6.3 in team rebounding margin. Bet on North Carolina minus the small number for a 5* wager. |

02-01-21 | Oklahoma v. Texas Tech -7 | 52-57 | Loss | -119 | 5 h 18 m | Show | |
Oklahoma @ Texas Tech 9:00 PM ET Game# 877-878 Play On: Texas Tech -7.0 (5*) We have the #13 ranked team in the country as a substantial home favorite over red-hot #9 Oklahoma. That is enough to raise my antenna. However, it must be noted that Oklahoma will be without its top scorer Austin Reaves (15.8 PPG) and Alonde Williams (7.7 PPG) who remain sidelined for a 2nd consecutive game due to COVID-19 protocols. The Sooners did pull off an upset home win over Alabama on Saturday without those 2 key players. However, now they go on the road to face a quality team like Texas Tech who finds themselves chasing Oklahoma in the Big 12 standings. Teams seem to step up from an emotional standpoint in the first game without key players being available. It’s after that when the brunt of those absences affect a team’s overall performance. Today will be a textbook example of such. Bet on Texas Tech minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Lakers @ Hawks 7:35 PM ET Game# 531-532 Play On: Hawks +6.0 (10*) The Lakers will be playing the finale of a 7-game in 12-day road trip. They have shown signs of fatigue during their previous 2 while scoring just 92 and 96 points. They will be playing an Atlanta team which will enter today’s game with 2 days of rest. The Hawks are 5-2 straight up and 6-1 ATS throughout their previous 7 contests. Atlanta is 4-1 straight up and 5-0 ATS during its last 5 games at home. Their only straight up loss in that sequence came by 4 points in overtime versus Brooklyn, but they still managed to cover as a 3.0-point home underdog. Bet on the Hawks plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

NC State @ Syracuse 6:00 PM ET Game# 831-832 Play On: Syracuse -5.0 (5*) NC State comes into this contest reeling having gone 1-4 straight up and 0-5 ATS during it previous 5 games. During that stretch the Wolfpack have been terrible defensively while allowing opponent to score 79.2 points per game, shoot a sizzling hot 51.7%, and permitting them to make an alarmingly high 40% of its 3-point shot attempts. Furthermore, NC State is a dismal 0-4 SU&ATS in true road games this season and lost by 14.3 points per contest. NC State has also gone a money draining 2-9 ATS since the start of last season as a road underdog of 6.0 or less. Syracuse is coming off an 81-58 loss at Virginia in their previous game. Since the start of the 2018-2019 season, Syracuse has gone 10-2 ATS following a conference loss by 10 points or more. The Orange are just 3-4 in ACC action thus far, but they held those opponents to just 39.7% shooting and 28.3% from 3-point range. Bet on Syracuse minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Bradley @ Indiana State 4:00 PM ET Game# 823-824 Play On: Bradley (Pick) (5*) This is simply a contrarian approach from me when handicapping this game. The opening line and subsequent movement doesn’t make any sense to me and raises my antenna exponentially. We have an Indiana State team which has won 4 straight as currently a pick or underdog at home versus an opponent which has lost 4 in a row. It’s never that easy and is a textbook trap set by the sportsbooks from my vantage point. Bet on Bradley for a 5* wager. |

Clippers @ Knicks 1:05 PM ET Game# 521-522 Play On: Under 210.0 (5*) The Knicks are #1 in scoring defense this season while allowing just 102.7 points per game. However, they are also dead last in scoring offense at 101.6 points per game. The Knicks have played 6-0 to the under at home this season when there’s been a total of 216.0 or less. Those 6 contests averaged only a combined 193.5 points scored per contest. The Clippers are #4 in scoring defense at 106.3 points per game. Since the start of last season, the Clippers are 7-0 under on the road when there’s a total of 221.5 or less and their previous game was a road win. The average total in those 7 contests was 217.1 and there was 204.0 points scored per game. The Clippers are coming off road wins at Miami and Orlando. The Knicks are coming off a 102-81 home win over Cleveland in their previous game. This sets up an extremely profitable NBA betting angle displayed below. Any NBA home team (Knicks) with a total of 200.0 or greater that’s coming off a home win by 20 points or more, and they’re facing an opponent who is coming off road wins in each of their last 2 played, resulted in those games going 31-6 (83.8%) to the under since 1996. The average total in those 37 contests was 213.9 and there were a combined 204.9 points scored per game. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |

Auburn @ Baylor 4:00 PM ET Game# 659-660 Play On: Baylor -14.0 (5*) Auburn has been rejuvenated since 5-star true freshmen guard Sharife Cooper was cleared to play by the NCAA in early January. The Tigers are 4-2 straight up and 6-0 ATS during their previous 6 game. They are coming off a home win over #12 Missouri earlier this week. However, there’s a big difference between beating Missouri at home and taking on #2 Baylor (15-0) on the road. All 15 wins by Baylor this season have come by 8 points or more. The Bears are an extremely profitable 10-3 ATS as a double-digit favorite. Baylor is coming off a 107-59 win over Kansas State while easily covering as a 23.5-point favorite. The Bears are 8-1 ATS this season following a double-digit favorite cover and outscored the opposition by an enormous 30.6 points per game. Bet on Baylor minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Florida State @ Georgia Tech 4:00 PM ET Game# 665-666 Play On: Georgia Tech +4.0 (5*) Georgia Tech will be out to atone for a 13-point loss at Florida State earlier this season and are better equipped at this point to do so. After going 2-2 straight up and 0-4 ATS at home during their non-conference portion of their schedule, Georgia Tech is a perfect 3-0 SU&ATS in ACC home games. Furthermore, in those trio of conference home games against North Carolina, Clemson, and Wake Forest the Yellow Jacks shot a blistering hot 53.5%. This will be only the 3rd true road game of the season for Florida State. They defeated Louisville 78-65 and lost at Clemson 77-67 in their previous 2. During the Seminoles current 5-0 SU&ATS streak, they played 4 of those contests on its home floor. Play on Georgia Tech plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Villanova @ Seton Hall 3:30 PM ET Game# 647-648 Play On: Villanova -4.5 (5*) Seton Hall is coming off a 4-point home loss to Creighton in a contest in which they squandered a double-digit lead. They have now dropped 3 of their last 4 games. #3 Villanova enters this contest with a 10-1 record with their only loss coming on a neutral floor against #20 Virginia Tech. Since that defeat they have won 8 straight and covered on 6 of those occasions. One of those ATS losses came against today’s opponent Seton Hall in a game they won by 2 as a 9.0-point home favorite. Villanova won that contest despite Seton Hall shooting a sizzling hot 55%. The Wildcats certainly won’t be taking the Pirates lightly in this return matchup. It’s also highly unlikely that Seton Hall will come close to duplicating their outstanding shooting performance they had in the first meeting between these teams. Additionally, Seton Hall has seen their last 5 opponents shoot a combined 48.6% and that includes an alarmingly high 46.6% from 3-point range. Bet on Villanova minus the points for a 5* wager. |

01-30-21 | Texas Tech v. LSU OVER 150.5 | 76-71 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 59 m | Show | |
Texas Tech @ LSU 2:00 PM ET Game# 631-632 Play On: Over 150.5 (5*) When I initially looked at this total it looked quite high for a Texas Tech game. However, after looking inside the numbers I not only deemed the total to be justifiable and it might even be a tad bit low with all considered. LSU has gone 5-0 to the over in each of their previous 5 and there was a combined 161.6 points scored per game. The Tigers are also 4-0 to the over in their previous 4 at home with an enormous average of 174.8 points scored per game. Those 4 contests had a frantic pace to them as there were an average of 138 field goal attempts per game for LSU and their opponents. That far exceeds college basketball standards. LSU will have a willing dance partner in Texas Tech. The Red Raiders have played 6-1 to the over in its last 7 and that includes 3-0 during away games. Those trio of road contest had a combined 162.0 points scored per game. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager. |

Alabama @ Oklahoma 12:00 PM ET Game# 601-602 Play On: Alabama +1.5 (5*) Both teams enter this contest red-hot. Oklahoma is coming off an upset win at #5 Texas earlier this week and they are now on a 4-0 SU&ATS run. They also have a huge Big 12 Conference game on Monday against #10 Texas Tech. Now they have the unenviable task of trying to knock off #9 Alabama who’s currently riding a 10-game win streak and covered on 8 of those occasions. This will be just a 3rd time this season that Alabama is an underdog, and they went 2-0 SU&ATS in the first 2. Additionally, Alabama is 4-0 SU&ATS in true away games. Bet on Alabama for a 5* wager. |

Boise State @ Colorado State 11:00 PM ET Game# 891-892 Play On: Boise State -2.5 (10*) These teams met on Wednesday night and Colorado state walked away with a convincing 78-56 win. Yet here we are 2 days later, and Boise State is a short favorite despite that blowout loss. The sportsbooks are begging you to take the home underdog in this spot. Nonetheless, I am not being lured in and bet against not only the oddsmakers but public perception. That previously mentioned Boise State loss ended a 12-game Broncos winning streak. It was also just a 2nd time in 14 games that Boise had scored less than 70 points. Since the start of the 2018-2019 college basketball season, Boise State is an extremely profitable 8-1 ATS following a game in which they scored 70 or fewer, and they outscored those 9 opponents by an average of 11.8 points per contest.

The Nuggets are 5-0 SU&ATS in their previous 5 games and that includes the last 4 being on the road. Furthermore, Denver is 4-0 SU&ATS during it last 4 as a road favorite and won by a substantial average of 16.0 points per game. San Antonio is a shiny 6-3 on the road this season but a disappointing 4-5 at home. Bet on Denver minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Philadelphia @ Minnesota 8:05 PM ET Game# 577-578 Play On: Minnesota +7.0 (5*) Philadelphia is coming off a huge emotional home win over the defending world champion Lakers on Wednesday night, and they did so as a closing 4.5-point underdog to boot. Now they travel to lowly Minnesota on just 1 day of rest. Every sports psychology book would make a case for the Lakers not to being even close to matching the intensity level they had 2 days ago. Besides, this is a Jekyl and Hyde 76ers team. During the past 2 seasons, Philadelphia has been off the charts good at home while going 39-3. However, road games for the 76ers have been quite the opposite. Specifically speaking, Philadelphia is 6-19 straight up and 5-20 ATS in their last 25 true road games. Bet on Minnesota plus the points for a 5* wager. |

The Pelicans last 5 contests have averaged a combined 235.6 points scored per contest. During that span they shot a sizzling hot 49% and averaged a lofty 26 free throw attempts per contest. The Pelicans should have a lot of gas in the tank tonight as it will be only their 3rd game in 8 days. The Pelicans will be facing a Milwaukee team that has played at a frantic pace of late. The Bucks have attempted an average of 94 field goal attempts per game over its last 5 contests. That is warp speed and even by modern day NBA standards. Throughout that stretch, the Bucks averaged 117.0 points scored per game. On the negative side of things, Milwaukee allowed those previous 5 opponents to score 114.0 points per game and make good on 41.9% of its 3-point shot attempts.

Monmouth @ Niagara 4:00 PM ET Game# 831-832 Play On: Under 146.5 (5*) Niagara had a total of 137.0 or less in each of their previous 13 games and rightfully so. The Purple Eagles play at a very deliberate pace while averaging just 65.3 possessions per 40 minutes played this season. That ranks 325th out of 357 Division 1 teams. The Purple Eagles have scored 70 or more points in just 4 of 14 games this season and haven’t done so since in exactly 3 weeks to the day. Niagara is coming off a 78-69 loss to Quinnipiac. The Purple Eagles are 15-2 to the under since the start of last season following a conference loss. Monmouth is a high-volume shooting team that averages 63 field goal attempts per game. However, Niagara has limited opponents to 57 field goal attempts or fewer in 12 of their 14 games this season. Monmouth is facing a Niagara team which averages only 11 assists per game.

The Toronto power play has been dynamic thus far going 10-24 (41.7%). Edmonton has allowed their opponent to convert on 31.2% of their power play chances against them to this point.

Their only home loss came against Denver in a game the 76ers roster was depleted by players being unavailable due to COVID-19 protocols. Any time I can get a healthy NBA team with a strong home court as an underdog, and they own a win percentage of .600 or better like Philadelphia (12-6/.666), it becomes solid gold to me.

They have been without the services of Jimmy Butler (quarantine) who missed 8 straight games and Tyler Herro (17.6 PPG) who’s been out for 6 consecutive games with a neck injury. Neither will be available tonight as well. Miami enters today’s game on a 3-game losing streak and scored 85 points or fewer twice. Denver is 4-0 SU&ATS in their previous 4 games and the last 3 were on the road. Denver is an impressive 6-1 straight up and 5-2 ATS in away games this season while making an outstanding 40.3% of their 3-point shots.

The Seminoles are a red-hot 4-0 SU&ATS during their previous 4 games and had a decisive victory margin of 17.7 points per contest. They didn’t exactly face creampuffs in those outings with wins coming over NC State, North Carolina, Louisville, and Clemson. During that 4-game stretch they scored 86.3 points per contest and shot a scorching hot 54.3%. Florida State will be going up against a Miami team that throughout their previous 5 games has allowed opponents to shoot 47.3% and that includes an alarmingly high 40.3% from 3-point territory.

The Tar Heels are 1-4 straight up and 0-5 ATS this season in true away games. Their only win came by a narrow 2-point margin at Miami. Pittsburgh is coming off a disappointing 1-point upset loss at Wake Forest during their last appearance. Nonetheless, even with that defeat, the Panthers are 8-2 straight up and an extremely profitable 7-3 ATS over their previous 10 games played. The Panthers are one of the few teams in the country that can match North Carolina’s rebounding prowess. Bet on Pittsburgh plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Philadelphia @ Detroit 7:05 PM ET Game# 501-502 Play On: Detroit +6.5 (5*) This is a 76ers team which has gone an incredible 38-4 in true home games since the start of last season. However, dating back to last season, the Sixers are quite the opposite in true road games having gone 3-14 straight up and ATS in their last 17 in that role, and includes 1-3 SU & 0-4 ATS as a favorite. Conversely, Detroit has gone 5-1 ATS in their last 6 this season as a home underdog. The Piston are also a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last 4 conference home games. These teams squared off on Saturday in Detroit and Philadelphia won by 4 but failed to cover as an 8.5-point favorite. I wouldn’t be shocked at all to see an outright upset in this spot tonight but won’t get greedy and take the points. Bet on Detroit plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Buffalo @ Kansas City 6:40 PM ET Game# 313-314 Play On: Buffalo +3.5 (10*) We all know how good Kansas City has been in recent years let alone being the winner of last year’s Super Bowl. Yet, we have the #1 seed Chiefs as just a 3.0-point to 3.5-point home favorite in this contest. Remarkably enough, even after Patrick Mahomes was cleared to play there was very little line movement if any at all. I am not fearful whatsoever of the sportsbooks. Nonetheless I enormously respect their ability to set an accurate line and adjust to the money coming in. With all that in mind, the oddsmakers are telling you this is an even game and there was an adjustment of 3.0-points made to the Chiefs for homefield advantage. By the way, since their 26-17 loss to Kansas City in Week 6, Buffalo has gone 11-1. Their lone defeat came on an Arizona Cardinal miracle last seconds “Hail Mary Pass” from Kyler Murray to Deandre Hopkins that resulted in that 32-30 setback. The Bills are also an extremely profitable 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games. Since the start of last season, Buffalo has gone a sparkling 12-5 on the road and that includes a money-making 7-2 ATS when installed as an underdog. By the way, since Week 12, Buffalo is the #1 red zone offense and Kansas City is the #26 red zone defense in the NFL. The Bills one of just a few teams in the NFL that can match the Chiefs offensive firepower. Bet on Buffalo plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Tampa Bay @ Green Bay 3:05 PM ET Game# 311-312 Play On: Tampa Bay +3.5 (5*) The Packers running game is vastly underrated and has been key to their high scoring potent offensive attack. However, they will be facing a Bucs defense that has been #1 against the run for 2 years running. Plus they are likely to get back run stopper extraordinary defensive tackle Vita Vea who is coming off a long layoff while recovering from an ankle injury. Speaking of the Bucs defense, they held Green Bay to a mere 201 yards of total offense during their earlier season 38-10 blowout win. Furthermore, this season’s lock for NFL MVP Aaron Rogers was just 16-35 passing for 160 yards passing and 2 interceptions while also being sacked 4 times. Tampa Bay enters this NFC Championship game riding having won 6 straight contests while recording a fabulous +8 turnover margin. The chemistry between Tom Brady and his talented cast of receivers has clearly become stronger as the season has progressed. Specifically speaking, the Bucs are averaging a robust 33.7 points scored per game throughout their last 9 contests. Counting the playoffs, Tampa Bay has gone a terrific 8-2 in away games this season and that includes 7-0 during their previous 7 road tilts. Back to their earlier season meeting with Green Bay, the Bucs amassed 158 yards rushing which is their 2nd highest total to date. Tampa Bay has kept committing turnovers to a minimum this season. As a matter of fact, they have turned the ball over just 18 times in 18 games thus far. Conversely, you may be surprised to know that Green Bay is only forcing 1.0 turnover per game throughout its first 17 contests. This sets up an extremely profitable NFL betting angle which is shown below. Any NFL road team (Tampa Bay) that is committing 1.25 or less turnovers or less per game on the season, versus an opponent (Green Bay) that is forcing 1.25 or fewer turnovers per game on the season, resulted in those road teams going 43-14 ATS (75.4%) since 1983. Additionally, those road teams went 41-16 straight up as well which bodes well for the underdog in this NFC Championship Game. Bet on Tampa Bay plus the points for a 5* wager. |

If #3 Villanova needed a wakeup call for this contest the Friars certainly provided them with one with their previous performance and result. Especially after the Wildcats barely escaped with a narrow 76-74 home win over Seton Hall as a 9.0-point favorite.

That itself speaks volumes to be in how oddsmakers assess the Hokies to be not as good as their ranking would suggest. The 8-4 Orange have been a bit inconsistent this season but are talented enough to walk away with a win in this spot. Syracuse is 7-1 at home while this will only be Virginia Tech’s 3rd true road game of the season. Bet on Syracuse for a 5* wager. |

Kansas @ Baylor 9:00 PM ET Game# 879-880 Play On: Baylor -8.5 (10*) I am labeling this as the sucker game of the night. We have the #6 Kansas Jayhawks as a sizable underdog against #2 Baylor. Then there’s the reputation and brand of Kansas basketball that will surely entice public betting to side with them at this heavy a number. However, we must look inside the numbers to get a clearer picture. Kansas is coming off a 75-70 loss at unranked Oklahoma State. They were also hammered at home by 25 versus Texas. Additionally, 5 of the Jayhawks 10 wins have come by 4 points or fewer. Baylor is 12-0 and has covered in 10 of those 12 contests. They are coming off a 68-60 win at Texas Tech in a game they covered as a 4.5-point favorite. It marked the first time this season that Baylor failed to win by a double-digit margin. As a matter of fact, Baylor has outscored their 12 opponents this season by an average of 26.1 points per game. The Bears are 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games which all were against Big 12 Conference opponents, and they held those teams to 56.7 points per contest and an abysmal 35.1% shooting. Baylor has also forced 20 turnovers of more in the 3 of their last 4 and 5 of its previous 7 games which speaks to their superb length and athleticism on the defensive end. Baylor has made a terrific 42.3% of its 3-point shot attempts this season. Conversely, during their previous 5 games Kansas opponents have shot a combined 39.4% from beyond the 3-point line.

Suns @ Grizzlies 5:05 PM ET Game# 559-560 Play On: Under 218.5 (5*) The Suns are 4-0 to the under in conference road games this season. The average total in those previously mentioned contests was 223.3 and there was only a combined 208.8 points scored per game. Memphis has been stout defensively over the past few weeks. Specifically speaking, the Grizzlies have allowed just 100.1 points per game throughout its last 8 contests. Memphis has gone 5-1 to the under in their last 6 at home and there was a combined 206.8 points scored per game. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |

01-17-21 | Bucs v. Saints -3 | Top | 30-20 | Loss | -103 | 30 h 2 m | Show |
Buccaneers @ Saints 6:40 PM ET Game# 307-308 Play On: Saints -3.0 (10*) Since 2017, Tampa Bay is a lousy 2-9-2 ATS as an away underdog of 6.0 or less. Moreover, the Bucs are a dismal 0-5 SU&ATS during its last 5 games versus New Orleans, and that includes 0-2 SU&ATS this season. Tampa was outscored in those 2 losses by 72-26. New Orleans has gone 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 as a home favorite and won by an average of 15.0 points per contest. Furthermore, since last season, New Orleans is a perfect 5-0 SU&ATS as a favorite of 6.5 or less and won by 11.0 points per game. If you are wondering how a playoff home favorite of 6.5 or less does against a division opponent that have beaten twice during regular season action. Well, you came to the right place. This situation has occurred only 6 times since 1983 with Sunday’s game being the 7th. So, it’s rare indeed. However, it’s important to note, the previous 6 have seen the home favorite of 6.5 or less going 6-0 SU&ATS, and with a decisive average victory margin of 16.0 points per game. Bet on the Saints minus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

01-17-21 | Bucs v. Saints OVER 51.5 | 30-20 | Loss | -113 | 30 h 59 m | Show | |
Buccaneers @ Saints 6:40 PM ET Game# 307-308 Play On: Over 51.5 (5*) The Tampa Bay offense has been clicking on all cylinders during the latter half of this season. Specifically speaking, the Bucs are averaging 34.1 points scored per game throughout their previous 8 contests. Tampa Bay is currently a 3.0-point underdog for Sunday’s game. The Bucs are an incredible 13-0 to the over in their last 13 games as a road underdog of 6.0 or less. The last 3 trips to New Orleans for Tampa Bay went 3-0 to the over and averaged a combined 66.7 points scored per contest. Since 2015, New Orleans is 18-5 to the over as a home favorite of 6.5 or less. Additionally, New Orleans is 9-4 to the over this season when Drew Brees is their starting quarterback. Lastly, the Saints are also 5-1 to the over at home this season when there’s been a total of 49.0 or greater, and there was a combined average of 59.0 points per game. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager. |

01-17-21 | Browns +10.5 v. Chiefs | 17-22 | Win | 100 | 27 h 30 m | Show | |
Browns @ Chiefs 3:00 PM ET Game# 305-306 Play On: Browns +10.5 (5*) Kansas City has gone 1-7 ATS during their previous 8 games. Nonetheless, they still went 7-1 straight up during that stretch. However, all 7 of those wins came by 6 points or fewer. Conversely, Cleveland is 5-1 straight up in their last 6 road games. Their only loss in that sequence came shockingly enough against the Jets (2-14). However, it must be noted, the Browns were without their top 4 receivers in that lone defeat due to COVID-19 protocols deeming them as unavailable. I love the Browns running back tandem of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Cleveland will run the ball with success and that will be a key component in keeping them competitive for 60 minutes or more if needed. Additionally, Kansas City is a -5 in the turnover department over its last 4 games. On the other hand, Cleveland is a stellar +10 in turnover margin this season. Bet on the Browns plus the points for a 5* wager. |

01-16-21 | Ravens v. Bills -2.5 | 3-17 | Win | 100 | 21 h 1 m | Show | |
Ravens @ Bills 8:15 PM ET Game# 303-304 Play On: Bills -2.5 (5*) Listening to all the experts on the airwaves this week and you would have thought Baltimore was the 14-3 team and it was Buffalo that was 12-5. While it’s quite the contrary. Yes, Baltimore has won 6 straight heading into the AFC Divisional Round contest. Nevertheless, Buffalo has won 7 straight and 9 of its last 10. Their only loss in that stretch was 32-30 at Arizona when Kyler Murray hit Deandre Hopkins with a Hail Mary pass with less than 10 seconds to play for the winning score. Otherwise, Buffalo would be riding a 10-game win streak. The big question marks being raised against Buffalo is how they will they be able to contain Lamar Jackson and the Ravens dynamic running game. Honestly, I really don’t know. But my retort would be, how is Baltimore going to stop Josh Allen and his outstanding group of receivers? It’s been a long time since such a meaningful game has been played in Orchard Park. The Bills have faced teams this season that currently have or finished with a winning record on 8 separate occasions, and they went a terrific 6-2 in those contests. Their only home loss came against defending world champion Kansas City, and then preceded to win 6 straight in Orchard Park since. By the way, Baltimore has also faced teams with winning records 8 times, but they were just 4-4 in those contests. The Bills are battle tested and will be up to the challenge against rough and tumble Baltimore on Saturday night. Bet on Buffalo for a 5* wager. |

Rams @ Packers 4:35 PM ET Game# 301-302 Play On: Rams +7.0 (5*) I am of the opinion this game goes right down to the wire. Additionally, I wouldn’t be shocked at all to see the Rams pull off an outright upset in this contest. Nonetheless, I won’t get greedy and neither should you so take the points. The combination of an effective Rams running game and their stout defense to keep this game competitive throughout. Bet on the Rams plus the points for a 5* wager. |

01-16-21 | Rams v. Packers UNDER 46 | Top | 18-32 | Loss | -109 | 17 h 22 m | Show |
Rams @ Packers 4:35 PM ET Game# 301-302 Play On: Under 46.0 (10*) The Rams know they can’t win a shootout against Green Bay. Jared Goff and the Rams offense is nowhere near as explosive in the passing game as they were 2 years ago when they advanced to the Super Bowl. However, one thing they continue do well is run the ball and that will be a key ingredient to their success on Saturday. The Rams defense is the best or at least one of the best units in the NFL. I look for Rams star cornerback Jalen Ramsey to more than hold his own while shadowing Green Bay #1 wide receiver Devante Adams who has torched opposing secondaries this season on a regular basis. Bet this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |

01-15-21 | Pelicans v. Lakers UNDER 220.5 | 95-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
Pelicans @ Lakers 10:05 PM ET Game# 517-518 Play On: Under 220.5 (5*) New Orleans has gone under in 4 of their 5 away games this season and there was just a combined average of 205.7 points scored per contest. Even more compelling was in those 5 Pelicans road games there was a mere 163 combined field goal attempts per contest. By modern day NBA standards, it equates to an extremely slow tempo. New Orleans will be out to snap a 4-game losing streak. If they are going to accomplish that feat, it means ending the Lakers present 4-game win streak. Any NBA team (Pelicans) with a total of 210.0 to 219.5 which has lost 4 or more games in a row, and they’re facing an opponent (Lakers) which has won 4 or games in a row, resulted in those contests playing 50-20 (71.4%) to the under since 1996. The average total in those 70 contests was 214.7 and there were a combined 208.5 points scored per game. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |

Hawks @ Jazz 9:05 PM ET Game# 515-516 Play On: Under 227.5 (5*) Utah has gone under in all 3 home games this season and there was a combined average of 211.3 points scored per game. Atlanta has gone under in 6 consecutive games and there was a combined average of 206.3 points scored per outing. Atlanta is coming off a 112-94 home win over Philadelphia in their previous game. Utah is coming off a lopsided 117-87 win at Cleveland in their last time out. That leads us to a powerful NBA totals betting angle displayed below. Any NBA road team (Hawks) with a total of 220.0 or greater, and they are coming off a win by 15 or more, versus an opponent (Jazz) coming off a win by 20 or more, resulted in those games going 26-6 (81.2%) to the under since 1996. The average total in those 32 contests was 227.7 and there was only a combined 215.7 points scored per game. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |

Mavericks @ Bucks 7:35 PM ET Game# 507-508 Play On: Under 228.5 (5*) Milwaukee has gone under in its last 3 and allowed just 96.6 points per game while doing so. Dallas has gone 5-1 to the under this season whenever the total was 222.0 or greater, and that includes 4-0 during their previous 4 in that exact situation. Those previously mentioned 4 Dallas contests averaged a combined 200.8 points scored per game. I would anticipate public betting heavily favoring the over on this contest and I have no issues whatsoever about going the other way. Bet on this game to go under for a 5* wager. |

01-14-21 | Pacers v. Blazers -3 | 111-87 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
Indiana @ Portland 10:05 PM ET Game# 575-576 Play On: Portland -3.0 (5*) This isn’t a favorable matchup for the Pacers. They will be facing a Portland team which has connected on an impressive 39.1% of its 3-point shot attempts this season, and that includes 40.8% over their previous 5 games. Conversely, Indiana has struggled to defend their opponents 3-point shooting thus far and have allowed them to make 39.7% of those long distance tries. Today will be the Pacers 3rd road game in 4 days. Portland enters this game on a 4-game win streak and covered on 3 of those occasions. Portland has scored 105 points or more in each of their previous 5 contests. Since the start of the 2018-2019 NBA campaign, Portland is 32-14 ATS after scoring 105 points or more in 5 straight games, and that includes 3-1 ATS in their last 4 in that role this season. Portland is also a perfect 11-0 in their last 11 at home against Indiana and that includes 9-2 ATS in those contests. Bet on Portland minus the points for a 5* wager. |

01-14-21 | Washington v. USC -13 | 68-95 | Win | 100 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
Washington @ USC 9:30 PM ET Game# 763-764 Play On: USC -13.0 (5*) Washington is enduring a brutal season thus far. They are 1-9 with their only win coming against Seattle. They have also lost to teams such as UC-Riverside by 15 and Montana by 8. The Huskies are 0-5 SU&ATS in their previous 5 while losing by an average of 16.0 points per game. Furthermore, they’ve gone 0-6 SU&ATS in away and neutral site games. USC has won 4 in a row. That win streak began by going 3-0 SU&ATS against Utah, Arizona, and Arizona State with a decisive average victory margin of 13.7 points per game. Then in their last game they were a bit flat in a 5-point home win over UC-Riverside. Now it’s back to conference play tonight and I look for the Trojans to turn in a strong performance. USC is a tremendous defensive team that allows just 63.5 points per game and opponents have shot a dismal 36.0% against them. USC will also have a huge advantage on the boards against a Washington team that is at a -10 rebound per game differential while the Trojans are at +8 per contest. Bet on USC minus the points for a 5* wager. |

01-14-21 | San Diego State v. Utah State -1.5 | Top | 45-57 | Win | 100 | 5 h 53 m | Show |
San Diego State @ Utah State 9:00 PM ET Game# 741-742 Play On: Utah State -1.5 (10*) Utah State began the season by losing 3 of its first 4 games. Since that time, they have reeled off 8 wins in a row and won by an enormous 29.9 points per game. That includes 6-0 SU&ATS in Mountain West Conference action. During those conference games they held opponents to 49.8 scored per contest and a miserable 32.2% shooting. The Aggies have been a favorite of 11.5 or greater all 6 of their conference wins and covers. San Diego State is coming off a 69-67 win over Nevada in a game they failed to cover as a 10.5-point favorite. This sets up a very profitable college basketball betting angle shown below. Any home team that is coming off 3 consecutive covers as a favorite of 7.0 or greater, and they are facing an opponent (San Diego State) that is coming off a straight up win in which they failed to cover as a favorite, resulted in those home teams going 34-4 (89.5%) straight up since 1997, and the home teams outscored the visitors in those 38 contests by 15.7 points per game. The straight up betting angle takes on added significance when considering what the current point-spread is. Bet on Utah State for a 10* Top Play wager. |

Texas A&M @ Mississippi State 9:00 PM ET Game# 695-696 Play On: Mississippi State -6.5 (10*) Texas A&M is a dismal 0-3 SU&ATS in neutral site or away games. They were blown out in all 3 of those contests by an average of 21.7 points per game. Mississippi State has been a somewhat overlooked team thus far. The Bulldogs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games this season as a favorite. They are also off to a 3-1 start in SEC action and made a terrific 43.6% of its 3-point shot attempts while doing so. Bet on Mississippi State minus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

During that winning run, Charlotte has held opponents to 99.2 points per game and 40.5% shooting. Furthermore, Charlotte is a spotless 5-0 SU&ATS this season as an underdog of 9.0 or less and won by an average of 9.0 points per game. Bet on Charlotte plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Pacers @ Warriors 10:35 PM ET Game# 545-546 Play On: Under 228.5 (5*) Golden State has gone 3-0 to the under during its previous 3 games and all of those took place at home. The average combined points scoring during those 3 contests was 216.7 per game. Indiana has allowed its last 3 opponents to shoot 48.1% or higher in each occurrence. Offensively the Pacers are shooting an impressive 48.6% for the season. They will be facing a Golden State team that has shot an uninspiring 44.2% from the field this season. The combination of this data qualifies for a high percentage NBA totals betting angle listed below. It’s a textbook example of sometimes having to make an uncomfortable bet while exercising a contrarian mindset. Any NBA team (Indiana) with a total of 210.0 or greater this is hooting 47.5% or better on the season, and they allowed their previous 3 opponents to shoot 47% or better, versus a team that shoots 43.5-45.5% for the season, resulted in those contests going 31-8 (79.5%) to the under since 1996. The average total in those 39 contests was 219.5 and there were a combined 208.5 points scored per game. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |

The Rockets are 4-0-1 to the under in their previous 5 and there was a combined average of 214.8 points scored per game. The Lakers have defeated Houston in each of the previous 5 games they have played them. Furthermore, during the last 4 encounters, the Lakers have held Houston to 102 points or less.

These teams just played in Houston on Sunday and the Lakers walked away with a decisive 120-102 win. The Lakers are 7-0 to the under this season following a win, and there was a combined average of 212.7 points scored per contest. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |
