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. |

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. Bet on North Carolina minus the points for a 5* wager. |

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. |

02-20-21 | Illinois v. Minnesota +5 | 94-63 | Loss | -118 | 4 h 10 m | Show | |
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. |

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. |

02-19-21 | Bulls +8.5 v. 76ers | 105-112 | Win | 100 | 4 h 37 m | Show | |
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. |

02-19-21 | Nuggets -9 v. Cavs | 120-103 | Win | 100 | 3 h 13 m | Show | |
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. |

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. |

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. |

02-18-21 | Iowa v. Wisconsin -1.5 | 77-62 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 41 m | Show | |
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. |

02-17-21 | Utah State v. Boise State -1 | 70-79 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show | |
Utah State @ Boise State 9:00 PM ET Game# 711-712 Play On: Boise State -1.0 (5*) Boise State is a perfect 8-0 at home this season and outscored their opponents by an average of 16.9 points per game. 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. |

02-17-21 | Minnesota v. Indiana -6 | 72-82 | Win | 100 | 5 h 16 m | Show | |
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. |

02-17-21 | Pistons +3.5 v. Bulls | 102-105 | Win | 100 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
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. |

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. Bet on Vanderbilt plus the points for a 5* wager. |

One of those occurrences came in a 81-56 blowout home loss to Illinois. Northwestern is also 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games this season as an underdog of 8.5 or greater they lost by an average of 16.8 points per contest. Illinois has won 5 in a row and covered on 4 of those occasions. That recent success included quality wins over #11 Iowa and #21 Wisconsin.

The Bulls will try to get the monkeys off their backs from having lost 10 consecutive times and 13 of its last 14 to Indiana. This appears to be a prime spot for them to take that heavy weight off their backs. Indiana is just 3-6 straight up and 2-7 in their last 9 at home. Bet on Chicago plus the points for a 5* wager. |

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.

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. |

The Bucks is coming off a 125-124 loss at Phoenix on Wednesday which snapped a perfect 5-0 SU&ATS run. I am aware the Bucks have been god following a loss during the past couple of seasons. 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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.

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.

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.. Bet on Utah minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Memphis @ Indiana 8:05 PM ET Game# 549-550 Play On: Memphis +4.5 (10*) Memphis comes into today’s game red-hot having gone 7-0 SU&ATS over its last 7 contests and they were an underdog on 5 of those occasions. Furthermore, the Grizzlies are 5-0 SU&ATS during its previous 5 road games and 4 of those wins came as an underdog. Conversely, Indiana is just 3-5 straight up and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games. The Pacers are also a dismal 2-4 straight up and 1-5 ATS in their previous 6 at home. Bet on Memphis plus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

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. |

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. |

Since the start of last season, North Texas is 7-0 ATS as a double-digit favorite and outscored those opponents by 26.5 points per game, and that includes 3-0 ATS during this 2020-2021 campaign.

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. |

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. |

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. Bet on Boise State for a 10* Top Play wager. |

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. |

LA Lakers @ Philadelphia 7:35 PM ET Game# 639-640 Play On: 76ers +3.5 (5*) The Lakers are an incredible 10-0 in away games this season. However, they will be facing a 76ers team which has gone a fabulous 38-4 straight up in true home games since the start of last season. That includes 9-1 straight up this season. 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. Bet on Philadelphia plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Furthermore, the Nets are a dismal 0-3 SU&ATS this season as an away favorite of 4.0 or greater and lost by an average of 8.7 points per game. The Nets are 0-2 ATS against Atlanta this season, losing on the road 114-96, and winning at home 145-141 but failed to cover as a 6.0-point favorite. Atlanta has gone 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 home and won by an average of 11.5 points per game. The Hawks held 3 of those 4 visiting opponents to less than 100 points.

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. As a matter of fact, the Nuggets have shot 48.9% or better from the field in 7 of those 8 road tilts. Bet on Denver minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Miami @ Florida State 6:00 PM ET Game# 659-660 Play On: Florida State -11.0 (5*) I know this is a rivalry game, but Florida State is really good and Miami is average at best. 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 Hurricanes are coming off losses to Notre Dame by 14 and Syracuse by 26. Bet on Florida State minus the points for a 5* wager. |

Georgia Tech is coming off a hard fought 2-point loss at #8 Virginia in their last game but easily covered as an 8.5-point underdog. That defeat broke a 5-game Yellow Jackets winning streak. Georgia Tech has also gone an impressive 4-1 ATS this season as an underdog and they won 3 of those contests straight up. Bet on Georgia Tech plus the points for a 5* wager. |

North Carolina @ Pittsburgh 7:00 PM ET Game# 619-620 Play On: Pittsburgh +3.5 (5*) North Carolina has played very well of late. However, a most of that recent success has taken place at home. 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. |

McCollum (26.7 PPG/5.0 APG) and they failed to cover the first 2 without him. Portland is 1-5 ATS this season as a home favorite of 9.5 or less. Through their previous 5 contests, Portland has allowed 116.2 points per game while opponents shot 48.5% and made 38.1% of its 3-point shot attempts. They were also -11 rebounds per game over that same 5-game stretch. Oklahoma City is a perfect 5-0 SU&ATS this season as a road underdog of 8.0 or less and won by 7.4 points per game. The Thunder suffered their 3rd straight loss last night 108-100 to the Clippers. All 3 of those defeats took place on the road and they were a double-digit underdog on each occasion. Any NBA underdog that are coming off road losses in each of their last 3 games, and they’re playing with nos rest, resulted in those underdogs going an extremely profitable 25-3 ATS (89.3%) since 2016.

The Mountaineers are coming off a 69-47 blowout win at Kansas State. However, that Kansas State team is by far the worst in the Big 12 this season, and West Virginia is a dismal 0-3 SU&ATS in their last 3 games following a win. Texas Tech is coming off a 68-60 home loss to #2 Baylor in their previous game. Nevertheless, the Red Raiders are 3-0 straight up following a loss this 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. |

01-24-21 | Bucs +3.5 v. Packers | 31-26 | Win | 100 | 24 h 43 m | Show | |
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.

01-23-21 | Florida v. Georgia +4 | 92-84 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 59 m | Show | |
Florida @ Georgia 2:00 PM ET Game# 643-644 Play On: Georgia +4.0 (5*) Unranked Florida (7-4/4-3) is coming off a stunning 75-49 home win over #6 Tennessee and did so as a 7.5-point underdog. Now the Gators find themselves as a road favorite against a Georgia team that’s coming off wins over Kentucky and Ole Miss. Additionally, Florida is just 1-3 in true road games with their lone win coming against Vanderbilt who is 0-4 in SEC action. As a matter of fact, Florida is a dismal 0-3 SU&ATS in true road games this season if their previous contest was at home and were outscored by an average of 10.0-points per outing. Bet on Georgia plus the points for a 5* wager. |

01-23-21 | Virginia Tech v. Syracuse -1 | 60-78 | Win | 100 | 3 h 0 m | Show | |
Virginia Tech @ Syracuse 12:00 PM ET Game# 607-608 Play On: Syracuse -1.0 (5*) We have the #16 team in the country Virginia Tech who opened as a 2.0-point road underdog against unranked Syracuse. 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. |

01-22-21 | Jacksonville +3.5 v. North Alabama | 81-82 | Win | 100 | 4 h 12 m | Show | |
Jacksonville @ North Alabama 7:00 PM ET Game# 77-78 Play On: Jacksonville +3.5 (5*) North Alabama has a deceivingly good 7-3 season record. However, 4 of their 7 wins have come over Non-Division 1 competition. They also suffered home losses to the likes of Troy and Stetson. Conversely, Jacksonville is 9-5 entering today’s game. Although 3 of their losses came on the road versus Power 5 conference opponents Georgia, Kansas State, and the Miami Hurricanes. Bet on Jacksonville plus the points for a 5* wager. |

01-21-21 | Utah v. Washington State +3 | Top | 71-56 | Loss | -108 | 6 h 35 m | Show |
Utah @ Washington State 10:00 PM ET Game# 773-774 Play On: Washington State +3.0 (10*) Public perception would indicate that bettors are betting this game based on Utah being a traditional winning team and Washington State the opposite. Nevertheless, Washington State has gone 8-1 at home this season and their only loss came by 4 to Arizona in a game they covered as an 8.0-point underdog. Utah has lost 5 of their last 6 and that includes going 0-3 SU&ATS during away games. Furthermore, Utah is coming off a 72-63 home loss to California in a game they closed as a sizable 12.0-point favorite. That was a Cal team that entered that contest with a dismal 1-7 conference record. Since the start of last season, the Utes are a dismal 0-8 ATS on the road following a conference loss and were outscored by a decisive margin of 17.5 points per game. Bet on Washington State plus the points for a 10* wager. |

01-20-21 | Northwestern v. Wisconsin -11.5 | 52-68 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
Northwestern @ Wisconsin 8:00 PM ET Game# 711-712 Play On: Wisconsin -11.5 (5*) Northwestern started the season 6-1 including 3 upset wins over Michigan State, Indiana, and Ohio State to begin their Big 10 schedule. However, they have rapidly gone on a downward spiral of last while going 0-5 SU&ATS during their previous 5 contests and lost by a decisive margin of 18.4 points per game. Wisconsin has enjoyed on the best home court advantages in college basketball over the past couple of decades. They are 8-1 in Madison this season and have outscored their opponents by an average of 17.3 points per game. Bet on Wisconsin minus the points for a 5* wager. |

01-20-21 | Celtics v. 76ers -4.5 | 109-117 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
Celtics @ 76ers 7:05 PM ET Game# 501-502 Play On: 76ers -4.5 (5*) Since the start of last season, Philadelphia has been superb at home while going 36-3 in those contests. This will be the first meeting of the season between these 2 teams in Philadelphia. They met twice in Philadelphia last season and the 76ers went 2-0 SU&ATS with an average winning margin of 12.5 points per game. Boston is coming off a dismal 105-75 home loss to the Knicks in their previous game which snapped a 5-game Celtics winning streak. Boston will continue to be without the services of starter Jayson Tatum who is sidelined after testing positive for COVID-19 last week. Tatum has averaged 26.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game this season. Bet on the 76ers minus the points for a 5* wager. |

01-19-21 | Pelicans v. Jazz -5.5 | 102-118 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
New Orleans @ Utah 9:05 PM ET Game# 569-570 Play On: Utah -5.5 (5*) New Orleans will enter today’s game having gone 1-4 in their last 5 games while allowing opponents to average 115.0 points per contest and they shot an alarmingly high 40.3% from 3-point territory. Conversely, Utah is an unscathed 5-0 SU&ATS during their previous 5 contests and won by a decisive average of 16.2 points per game. During that successful stretch, the Jazz held opponents to a mere 97.6 points scored per game, 39.8% shooting, and just 27.8% from 3-point land. Bet on Utah minus the points for a 5* wager. |

01-18-21 | Kansas v. Baylor -8.5 | Top | 69-77 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 59 m | Show |
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. Bet on Baylor minus the points for a 10* Top Play wager. |

01-18-21 | Rockets v. Bulls +2 | 120-125 | Win | 102 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
Rockets @ Bulls 8:05 PM ET Game# 565-566 Play On: Bulls +2.0 (5*) The Rockets team chemistry is a mess. The trade of leading scorer James Harden to Brooklyn has magnified that issue even more. The Rockets are a poor 1-4 in away games this season. Chicago is 3-4 straight up in their last 7 games. However, their 4 losses have come by a combined 11 points. With a bit of luck, they easily could be riding a 7-game win streak. I love the way Chicago is competing on a nightly basis of late. Bet on the Bulls 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 | 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. |

01-16-21 | Rams +7 v. Packers | 18-32 | Loss | -120 | 17 h 23 m | Show | |
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. |

01-14-21 | 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. |
