12-28-22 | Arkansas -4 v. LSU | 57-60 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
Arkansas at LSU 9:00 ET Razorbacks (-) over Tigers- A pair of 11-1 clubs square off in Baton Rouge where LSU is 8-0 and hosting an Arkansas team playing their first true road game. Ordinarily I would look to play against anybody in the Razorbacks position but they have been on the road fat neutral site five time and have played and beaten the likes of Creighton, Oklahoma, San Diego State, Bradley and Louisville (they were good once). Razorbacks are actually 9-1 ATS in their last 10 true road games. Take ARKANSAS! |

12-28-22 | Alabama v. Mississippi State +1.5 | Top | 78-67 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
Alabama at Mississippi State 9:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Crimson Tide- Both of these clubs are off record setting start as Mississippi (11-1) is second only to their 13-0 start in 2003-04 season while Alabama at 11-2 is their best start since 2007. We have had our way with the Tide as week are 4-0 ATS in games where they are 3-1 SU. The Bulldogs have been a point spread nightmare covering just once since November 17 while going 1-6-1 ATS. The push was a win over Marquette so we know that they can play although their competition has been second and third rate. Bama has played some big boys and has defeated two different No. 1 teams and then of course fell themselves. In true road games the Crimson defeated then No.1 Houston but the road team is 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings. That’s enough for me here. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |
|||||||
12-28-22 | Nets v. Hawks +6.5 | 108-107 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Nets- Oh yeah, here come the Hawks after a blowout loss last night at Indiana they return home to host the red hot Nets who have won nine straight (6-1 ATS L-7). Brooklyn won the first meeting as hosts and took two of three last year and they will meet four times this season. The Nets lead the league in field goal shooting and 3-point shooting but are a different team on the road and they are 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings. Hawks are 5-2 ATS after a loss of10-points or greater. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
12-28-22 | Suns v. Wizards +2.5 | Top | 102-127 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
Phoenix at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (-) over Suns- Phoenix and I don’t know how have the most 30-point wins of any team in the NBA this season...really, how can that be, and they won by 17 last night in Memphis. Washington ended a 10-game losing streak and have now won 3-of-4 as they get healthy. Phoenix just snapped a 3-game losing streak by winning in Memphis and is just 6-10 on the road. Suns 2-6 ATS following a win by 10 points or more. Wizards are 39-17-1 ATS in the second in back-to-back games. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
12-28-22 | Kentucky v. Missouri +3.5 | 75-89 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
Kentucky at Missouri 8:00 ET Tigers (+) over Wildcats- Yeah I just love this, Missouri has one loss this season and we had them that night while Kentucky failed us against UCLA. Wildcats coach John Calipari is always high on his new recruits but not having veteran players has started to show its flaws and as always they are poor free throw shooters. Shooting the ball is not a Tiger problem as they are No. 4 in the nation hitting 51.3 from the field and averaging 88.8 points per game also placing them at number 4. This is a true road game for the Wildcats and they are 5-15-2 ATS in their last 22 road games while the Tigers are 11-2 ATS against a team with a losing road record. Take MISSOURI! |
|||||||
12-27-22 | Nuggets v. Kings +3.5 | 113-106 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
Denver at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Nuggets- Denver has won four in-a-row and 7-of-8 to move into first place in the NBA Western conference. The Kings after and 0-4 start are now three games over .500 and will have to go it without Domantas Sabonis who has a right hand injury. Sacramento enters this fray with the No.2 offense in the league averaging 118.1 points a game and are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings as hosts. The Nuggets are actually 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games and the Kings are 16-6 ATS after a double-digit loss. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
12-27-22 | Seton Hall v. Marquette -7 | 69-83 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
Seton Hall at Marquette 8:00 ET Golden Eagles (-) over Pirates- Marquette coach Shaka Smart is non-too happy about the Golden Eagles double-overtime loss at Providence where the Friars shot 30 more free throws. That was the first loss for them to a team outside the Top-25 ( not that providence is all that bad). Most trends surrounding this game favor Seton Hall but the Pirates are a notch below past teams and the Eagles are just a better overall club with a much deeper bench. Take MARQUETTE! |
|||||||
12-27-22 | Hawks -119 v. Pacers | 114-129 | Loss | -119 | 8 h 2 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Indiana 8:00 ET Hawks over Pacers- The question here is will these clubs continue on their current trends. Indiana lost to New Orleans last night as they scored just 38 points at the half and were never in it. For Atlanta they caught fire in the second half against Detroit Friday and scored 70 points in their 25 point win. This is the first of three meetings this season sn the Hawks swept all four games last season and they are 5-1 ATS in their last six trips to Indiana. Take ATLANTA! |

12-27-22 | 76ers v. Wizards +5 | Top | 111-116 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over 76ers- Currently the hottest team in the NBA Philadelphia has won eight straight and are 7-1 ATS since their OT loss to Houston back on December 5. The 76ers have been doing this without one of their more impact players in Tyrese Maxey who returns to action tonight. These two have already split two games this season each winning on the others home floor. The Sixers have done it with defense which is second allowing 107.7 and they won seven of those games at home. on the road they are a different team as they are 9-19-1 ATS in their last 29 road games. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
12-26-22 | Hornets +5.5 v. Blazers | 113-124 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Charlotte at Portland 10:30 ET Hornets (+) over Trailblazers- Now here is something that I never realized and it is that Charlotte has dropped 14 straight games to the Trailblazers and haven’t defeated Portland since March 29, 2008 when they were know a the Bobcats. The Hornets will be without Miles Bridges who is suspended for domestic violence charge but will have LaMelo Ball healthy and a hot Gordon Hayward. Hornets are 9-4-1 ATS on the road against winning teams and 25-12-2 ATS in their last 39 road games overall. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
12-26-22 | Jazz v. Spurs +4.5 | 122-126 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
Utah at San Antonio 8:00 ET Spurs (+) over Jazz- Gone of late is talk of Gregg Popovich and his greatness as a coach as San Antonio has become an also-ran and much of the time they are not even competitive. Yet, over the years the Spurs have had their way against the Jazz going 24-9-1 ATS in the last 34 meetings. Utah’s Colin Sexton has returned to action but is playing time is still reduced. Look for the Spurs to come with a huge effort after a 20-point loss at Orlando. Take SAN ANTONIO! |
|||||||
12-26-22 | Wolves +2 v. Heat | Top | 110-113 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 20 m | Show |
Minnesota at Miami 7:30 ET Timberwolves (-) over Heat- The Heat have fallen below the break even mark by dropping their last two games at home with Jimmy Butler ailing. Miami is 5-7 without Butler and just don’t play at the high level of more recent seasons. The T-wolves are a weak rebounding team and Miami is even worse but they can shoot the ball ranking third at 49% from the floor while the Heat are second to last in scoring only ahead of the Clippers. The Heat are just 3-13-1 ATS at home while Wolves are 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
12-25-22 | Suns +3.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 125-128 | Win | 100 | 18 h 18 m | Show |
Phoenix at Denver 10:30 ET Suns (+) over Nuggets- After cruising in a 26-point win over the LA Lakers Phoenix dropped a pair at home to Washington and then Friday night to the Grizzlies by 25 points. The Suns have been without Devin Booker who missed the last two games and has missed five of seven but expected to play Christmas night. Denver has won their last five home games and this is their fourth in-a-row as hosts. No matter Suns are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and the Nuggets are 4-10 ATS after a 10-point win. Take PHOENIX! |
|||||||
12-25-22 | Bucks v. Celtics -4.5 | Top | 118-139 | Win | 100 | 13 h 49 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Boston 3:30 ET Celtics (-) over Bucks- Despite a mini slump where they just lost three straight and five of six everyone in the know seems to think that Boston is the team to beat this year and by the looks of this line I believe the odds-maker thinks so too. Milwaukee has dropped their last two games and this is their four straight on the road while Boston has been home since Dec. 16 and this will be their fifth straight at home. The Celtics just have so much fire power with Brown and Tatum leading the charge and balancing the ‘Greek Freak.’ Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
12-25-22 | 76ers v. Knicks +2.5 | 119-112 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at New York 12:00 ET Knicks (+) over 76ers- The moment I saw this match-up (they have had lines up for these games since opening night tip-off) i though this is trouble. The NBA starts the days with Joel Embiid playing in his first Christmas Day games and vowing to display his talents before ‘the world’ on it’s biggest stage. The Knicks were just had an eight-game winning streak stopped at home by the Raptors followed by another to the Bulls. The 76ers enter this fray winning their last seven (6-1 ATS) with Joel on a mission. The line seems short and looks too inviting and this is nit a Christmas gift. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
12-23-22 | Hornets +3.5 v. Lakers | 134-130 | Win | 100 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
Charlotte at LA Lakers 10:30 ET Hornets (+) over Lakers- Both of these clubs are absolutely dreadful as the impostor Lakers are like a walking MASH unite and Charlotte is just not very good to start with. The Hornets have dropped 9-of-10 and trailed the Clippers by 36 points before the first half ended. Lebron James at 40 years old is still putting up All-Star numbers with 27.1 ppg, 8.4 rebounds and 7.6 assists, his number are balanced with the return of LaMelo Ball is off his first Triple-Double of the season with 25 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds. Lakers 2-6-1 ATS last nine without Davis who was second in NBA rebounding. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
12-23-22 | Raptors +4.5 v. Cavs | Top | 118-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show |
Toronto at Cleveland 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Cavaliers- It seems that we will need a reversal of fortune to win this match-up as the Cavaliers have the best home record in the NBA going 16-2 straight-up 13-4-1 ATS while Toronto is just 4-12 SU but 7-9 ATS. I really like this Cleveland squad but the Raptors who just ended a 6-game losing streak by defeating the Knicks and stopping their winning streak at eight. Now, they can stop the Cavs who have five straight wins and are 2-5 ATS after a win. Take TORONTO. |
|||||||
12-23-22 | Clippers +3.5 v. 76ers | Top | 114-119 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 9 m | Show |
LA Clippers at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Clippers (+) over 76ers- Tonight finishes a 14 day seven game home stand for Philadelphia and they have won all six covering five time. The started against the Lakers and will end it against the Clippers tonight. LA has won their last two as they are starting to get healthy and have played tough through their adversary. Joel Embiid leads the NBA in scoring and appears to be on that MVP mission and stated that he’s finally apply to see that the 76ers will be playing on Christmas day so he can showcase his talents to the world. But, that is Sunday...take LA CLIPPERS! |
|||||||
12-22-22 | Spurs +8.5 v. Pelicans | 117-126 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
San Antonio at New Orleans 8:00 ET Spurs (+) over Pelicans- Things are taking a down turn of late for the Pelicans as they have lost their last four and will be without Zion Williamson tonight. This is the third meeting of the season and the Spurs lost them by 19 and 18 points and they will meet one more time in March. San Antonio is 9-4 ATS after a SU win and despite the two losses this year are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Pels 2-6 ATS playing on two days rest. Take SAN ANTONIO! |
|||||||
12-21-22 | USC v. Colorado State +3 | Top | 73-64 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 36 m | Show |
Colorado State vs Southern California 11:00 ET Rams (+) over Trojans- As their coach stated ‘this is our biggest win of the year by far.’ Comments that make me think that USC must really be full of themselves after their 74-71 victory over No. 19 Auburn. If the Trojans continue to think of how great a win they had last time out they will get ambushed this time at home against Colorado State. On the other end of the spectrum the Rams were defeated earlier this season by Northern Colorado who was rated No. 207. CSU is off a 62-60 win at St. Mary’s (not as easy to do as you might think. This number is way too low and I won’t be surprised of the Rams win on the floor. Take COLORADO STATE! |
|||||||
12-21-22 | Auburn -3.5 v. Washington | Top | 84-61 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
Auburn at Washington 11:00 ET Tigers (-) over Huskies- Auburn started the season 8-0 but have dropped 2-of-3 as the competition got tougher as they lost to Memphis and in their first road game to USC Sunday. It was one of those games where even a 32-19 rebounding edge over the Trojans didn’t help as 23 turnovers were key. The Huskies have played two games against real competitors and lost them both to Gonzaga and Oregon State. The Tigers lead the nation in blocked shots averaging an incredible 7.5 blocks. The cream rises and the tigers bite the Huskies. Take AUBURN! |
|||||||
12-21-22 | Notre Dame -1 v. Florida State | 72-73 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Notre Dame at Florida State 8:30 ET Fighting Irish over Seminoles- The Fighting Irish are coming off back-to-back losses and are looking for their first ACC win of the season. Notre Dame has five starters that average double figures but its defense has been spotty as they rank 222 in points allowed. Florida State has had numerous injuries that have force them to play small ball. The trouble with that is this is not baseball where it can work as they are No. 335 in rebounds per game averaging just 29.2. ND is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games while Florida State is 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 games following a loss. Take NOTRE DAME! |
|||||||
12-21-22 | Raptors +2 v. Knicks | Top | 113-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
Toronto at New York 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Knicks- So here we have the hottest team in the NBA the New York Knicks who have won eight straight at home against the raptors who have lost six in-a-row. So, how can the odds maker decide that the Knicks should be less than a bucket favorites. It looks too easy especially when we see that the Raptors are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings in New York. Take TORONTO! |
|||||||
12-20-22 | Virginia v. Miami-FL +4 | Top | 64-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show |
Virginia at Miami-FL 8:30 ET Hurricanes (+) over Cavaliers- I have seen No. 6 Virginia up close and alone with UCLA I believe to be the most over-rated teams in college basketball. The Cavaliers suffered their first loss of the season last time out against Houston (Megabucks winner) while No. 22 Miami are winners of seven straight games. Virginia has won the past six meetings and under coach Tony Bennett are once again defensive leaders allowing just 59.1 PPG. The Canes have averaged 81.6 PPG during their current winning streak and are No. 8 in offensive efficiency. Take MIAMI-FL. |
|||||||
12-20-22 | Bulls +5 v. Heat | Top | 113-103 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
Chicago at Miami 7:30 ET Bulls (+) over Hurricanes-Miami defeated the Bulls 116-108 in the season opener and will meet for the second time tonight. The Heat are struggling on offense and are second to last in points scored and are at the bottom in most offensive categories. In a mirror of each other the Bulls have lost four straight while Miami have won four straight. Reverse of form here. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
12-19-22 | Bucks v. Pelicans +1.5 | Top | 128-119 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
Milwaukee at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Bucks- New Orleans returns home having lost three straight on the road after blowing a 24-point lead to Phoenix Saturday night. They started on their trek with a seven game winning steak and are 4-1 ATS in their last five games at home. Milwaukee rebounded from a 41-point loss to Memphis with a 123-97 win over Utah without Giannis and Middleton and they are 2-8-2 ATS after a SU win. This match-up is a clash of trends as the Bucks bring the No. 4 defense while the Pelicans bring the No. 4 offense to play.Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
12-18-22 | Auburn +1 v. USC | Top | 71-74 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 45 m | Show |
Auburn at USC 5:30 ET Tigers over Trojans- USC is looking to gain some recognition on the hard wood not just the gridiron and a win over No. 19 Auburn in the cages would show their progress (8-3) by defeating a ranked ream. The Trojans have won four straight but just can’t match the Tigers when it comes to depth or defense. Auburn under Bruce Pearl play defense and only allow 61 PPG. USC is 7-19 ATS in their last 26 home games and are 2-7 ATS after a SU win. Take AUBURN |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Tennessee +3.5 v. Arizona | 70-75 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
Tennessee at Arizona 10:30 ET Volunteers (+) over Wildcats- This will be a test of a pair of offensive power as Arizona now leads the nation in scoring averaging 92.0 PPG while shooting 54.5% from the floor. Tennessee will be playing their first true road game and for the most part that becomes a challenging experience for them and us. I have seen Arizona live twice already this season and still think that they can be had as they are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Vols are 14-5 ATS on the road after three straight home games. Take TENNESSEE! |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Vanderbilt +6.5 v. NC State | Top | 66-70 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show |
Vanderbilt vs N.C State 10:30 ET Commodores (+) over Wolfpack- These two have very different records and only one common opponent to judge them. This will be a late start in Chicago and is the final game of a quadruple-header at the United Center. For Vanderbilt it will be their first ‘live’ action in nine days and they are ready to get back to the hardwood. This is the sixth meeting with the Commodores having a 3-2 advantage with all six games having being played on neutral sites and Vandy is 7-1 ATS in their last eight games at neutral sites. NC State who is off a huge 92-73 win over under-manned Furman are 5-15-1 ATS after a SU win. Take VANDERBILT! |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Jazz +4 v. Bucks | Top | 97-123 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
Utah at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Jazz (+) over Bucks- I don’t know about these Bucks as this line just doesn’t seem right to me. Memphis is supposed to be one of the stiffer competitors and the Bucks who trailed by 15-points after the first quarter out-scored the Grizzlies by 56 points the final three quarters. I don’t think they’ll do it in back-to-back games and will put my trust in the Jazz who have won their last two games over New Orleans and overcame a 15-point deficit themselves. The Jazz are 30-9 ATS in the last 39 meetings and 6-2 ATS in their last eight trips to the Brew City. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
12-17-22 | UCLA v. Kentucky +2 | 63-53 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
UCLA vs Kentucky 5:15 ET Wildcats (+) over Bruins-I just love winning these games involving the UCLA Bruins...sometimes no matter if you are with or against certain teams you have a great insight as to what they are doing night by night. That is how it has been for ‘us’ regarding the Bruins and Kentucky is the perfect opponent for Saturday’s action. The Wildcats dropped a game to No. 2 Gonzaga back on November 20 but have reeled off four straight wins since. When quality programs like this meet the points become such a huge factor as the dog in this series is 4-0 ATS in last four meetings. I’m not going to give you any other trends as they might discourage you. Have no fear! Take KENTUCKY! |

12-16-22 | Nuggets v. Lakers +1.5 | 108-126 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
Denver at LA Lakers 10:00 ET Lakers (-) over Nuggets- The Lakers are on the upswing as they are 9-6 SU in their last 15 games after starting 2-10. Part of the solution for winning for Los Angeles had been the return of a healthy Anthony Davis who bricked a pair of Free-throws in the clutch against Boston which kept the Lakers fro winning in regulation. Denver has been the best of late and are 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall and 9-20 ATS after a SU win and are 1-4 ATS in their last five meetings in Los Angeles. Take the LAKERS! |

12-16-22 | Nets v. Raptors +1.5 | 119-116 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors over Nets- Changes have been rapid in the Brooklyn circus but one of them seems to have worked. The Nets who started 2-7 under Steve Nash are 15-7 SU since replacing him with Jacque Vaughn. Toronto is struggling to return to championship status is 10-4 SU at home while Brooklyn is 7-7 SU on the road with a 114-105 win already at Toronto. The nets are also 0-4 ATS after a win of 10-points or more. Take TORONTO! |

12-16-22 | Hawks v. Hornets -2.5 | Top | 125-106 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
Atlanta at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Hawks- Both of these clubs have seen better days and have been very disappointing for their backers to date. Charlotte who is expecting the return of Gordon Hayward (Isn’t he always returning from some aliment) have dropped six straight games and the Hawks have been just one-game better in their last six contests going 1-5 SU. But more importantly for the Hornets LaMelo Ball returned to action Wednesday and had 23 points and 11 assists in their loss at Detroit. The Hornets have had their way with Atlanta winning going 10-4-1 ATS as hosts in their series and get it done tonight. Take CHARLOTTE! |

12-15-22 | Pelicans v. Jazz +1.5 | 129-132 | Win | 100 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz ( ) over Pelicans- In what was a rare thing in NBA scheduling the current wave is for many teams to play a pair of games at the same site to reduce travel. So, it was just Tuesday that Utah ended the Pelicans 7-game win streak with a resounding 121-100 victory as they held New Orleans to their second lowest scoring game of the season. Can the Pelicans make the adjustments needed to split the 2-game set. They are a stellar 12-3 at home but just 6-6 on the road and 1-5 ATS in their last six games against teams that have a winning home record. The Jazz are 15-5 SU at home and are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings as hosts. Take UTAH! |

12-15-22 | Bucks +2 v. Grizzlies | Top | 101-142 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 21 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Memphis 8:00 ET Bucks (+) over Grizzlies- Memphis has won six straight and is showing what we all know they can do as they are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games. Milwaukee who is looking to get back into the winners circle are off a message sending 128-111 win at Golden State and have won 8-of-10. The Bucks continue to pressure their opponents and are No. 2 in defense in points scored allowing 107.6 PPG and are No. 1 in FG % defense. The Grizzlies are off a 128-103 win over Atlanta on Monday and are 2-6 ATS after scoring 125 points or more in their previous game while the Bucks are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games after a win of 10 points or more. Take MILWAUKEE! |

12-14-22 | Cavs +2.5 v. Mavs | 105-90 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Dallas 9:00 ET Kings (+) over Mavericks- Cleveland is one of the most exciting and improved teams in the NBA and they are looking to make some head way against a team that beat them seven of eight times last season. Part of the Cavaliers improvement is centered around Donovan Mitchell who is averaging 29.0 PPG. The Cavs are looking to bounce back from a loss at San Antonio on Monday when the Spurs ended a nine-game losing streak. Cleveland is the No. 1 defensive club in the NBA allowing just 105-1 PPG and are 3-0-2 ATS after a SU loss while Dallas is 3-9-2 ATS in their last 14 home games. Take CLEVELAND! |

12-14-22 | UCLA +1.5 v. Maryland | 87-60 | Win | 100 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
UCLA at Maryland 9:00 ET Terrapins over Bruins- Seems strange that these two will be playing in the same conference next season as the Big Ten has swallowed a former ACC stalwart Maryland and a the PAC-12 legendary UCLA. These Top-25 ranked teams meeting each with a pair of flaws with losses in early season tournaments. Maryland has dropped their last two contests and returns home after losses to Tennessee and at Wisconsin. The Bruins to me were one of the least impressive teams ranked teams in the early part of the season. Terps are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games but this price is way low considering the trends. Take UCLA! |

12-14-22 | UCF +6.5 v. Ole Miss | 72-61 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
Central Florida at Mississippi 7:30 ET Knights (+) over Rebels- A pair of fast paced clubs with stellar defenses each with two losses and a positive point differential of +10 or better. After two straight defeats to and couple of good basketball teams in Oklahoma and Memphis the Rebels rebounded with a 37-point victory over Valparaiso. Mississippi is a perfect 5-0 (3-1-1 ATS) at home and this will be the first true road encounter for the Knights. Central Florida is just 1-6 and ATS in their last seven road games but 5-1 ATS in their last six games against teams with winning records. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |

12-14-22 | South Carolina v. UAB -16 | Top | 70-84 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
South Carolina at UAB 7:00 ET Blazers (-) over Gamecocks- Here are a pair of schools that are moving in opposite directions as the once proud Gamecocks have fallen to the point where a Conference USA team is a double-digit favorite over an SEC team.

Memphis at Alabama 9:00 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- You have to love the way this game is set up. Alabama accomplished a feat last done by Duke in 1965-66 and that is defeating two different No. 1 teams. The Tide are coming off a 71-65 upset of No. 1 Houston Saturday parlayed with their (4OT) win over then No. 1 North Carolina 103-101. I expect a non-cover in the game following a win like that and that happened after their first upset win. Memphis can play and are on a six-game winning streak after defeating Bama rival Auburn 82-73 on Saturday. Tigers are 13-4 ATS in last 17 games against a team with a winning percentage above 60% or better. Tide 2-8 ATS following an ATS win. Take MEMPHIS! |

Sacramento at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Kings (+) over 76ers- It might be surprising to you because it was to me when I realized it but Sacramento has a better record than the Sixers. Be it just one game but it sort of caught my attention. Now, Philly is coming off an epic performance by Joel Embiid (53-points) who is still on a mission to prove he’s the league’s best and a huge win on Sunday, while the Kings were blown out in New York. Okay, here’s some supporting info, Kings are 15-5 ATS after a loss of 10 points or more as well a 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 road games. Although Philly holds a big series edge the Kings are 4-1 ATS in the last five game in Philadelphia. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Boston at LA Clippers 10:30 ET Clippers (+) over Celtics- Boston is off a loss at Golden State 123-107 a game in which they never led despite the loss are 17-3 SU in their last 20 games. But, like so many clubs that go west they experience what I say is a Bang-Bang Theory, that is when they get beat in back-to-back games. LA has been hurt by injuries and only had Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for the seventh time on Saturday. In a tight one the Clippers get it dome. Take LA CLIPPERS! |

The Tigers are like playing in a track meet as they lead the nation in scoring averaging 93 PPG and shoot 51% from the field. The Jayhawks average 77 themselves but the rank 104 on defense. The Tigers biggest scare came in overtime at Wichita State 88-84 overcoming a second half deficit. Revenge and better talent has the Tigers stripes shining. Take MISSOURI! |

The only way the Heat can cool off the Celtics is to do what they do best and are known for and that is defense. Currently the are ranked No. 8 on D but they have been short-handed with their best stopper on the sideline as Jimmy Butler gamely puts out a professional effort.

UCLA at Stanford 10:30 ET Cardinal (+) over Bruins- You are going to hear plenty of comments like ‘inspiring play and huge efforts and a gritty club,’ but what you won’t hear is UCLA wins again. Believe me this is one of the most over-rated teams in the country and believe me I know I’ve seen them twice in person and I just don’t see what the big deal or talent is hiding. The Bruins like so may at this time of the season are playing their first true road game of the year ad it is a PAC -12 battle at Stanford. The Cardinal have fallen off the basketball charts of late (so has their football team) but they still manage to be ready for conference games at home where they are 8-2 in the last 10 meetings with the bruins.

The Wildcats style is in direct contrast to Utah’s defensive and deliberate style of play. The time that I like most about this encounter is that it is Arizona’s first true road game of the season and it happens to be a league game the first date of December. The Wildcats are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games after a SU win. I like the spot and are taking it with confidence. Take UTAH! |

Toronto at New Orleans 8:00 ET Raptors over Pelicans- I can’t believe how these lines on the Pelicans games can fluctuate from one game to the next. I understand that if Zion Williamson is playing or not their should and will be differences. But, with a consistent line-up it changes dramatically daily. Another factor is that New Orleans has had to play extended period of time without Brandon Ingram while Pascal Siaham has returned to play for the Raptors and believe me he makes a difference.Take TORONTO! |

Virginia at Michigan 9:30 ET Cavaliers (-) over Wolverines- I saw No. 3 Virginia defeat Baylor and Illinois in Las Vegas and although they were crowned tourney champs I can say that I was all that impressed. Although, I feel that they will win games because of their experience and depth. As Claude Reins would say ‘I am shocked...’ yep, I am shocked at how little respect the Wolverines are receiving from the book-makers as I expect them to be ranked which they are not and I don’t expect them to be such an underdog at home Now, the decision is do I believe my lying eyes or a lying bookmaker. Maybe, they know something a Michigan is 1-5 ATS in their last six home games and they are 2-9 ATS after a SU win. Cavaliers 7-2 ATS in last nine against winning teams above .600.

Golden State at Minnesota 3:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Warriors- This year’s version of the Warriors reminds me of let’s say the West Virginia football which is notorious for losing on the road where Golden State is 1-9 while they are 9-1 at home. Last season the Wolves lost to State by an average of 17 points in two games in California and they won both home games by an average of 11 points. GS is 0-4 ATS in their last four trips to Minny and 7-19 ATS in their last 26 road games overall. Take MINNESOTA! |

11-27-22 | North Carolina v. Alabama -115 | Top | 101-103 | Win | 100 | 4 h 51 m | Show |
North Carolina vs Alabama 3:30 ET Crimson Tide over Tar Heels- Okay here we go again. The Odds-makers versus the Pollsters. The Poll people have North Carolina ranked on top at 1 and to date I have not been impressed. Bama who does impress me is ranked No. 18 by the Pollsters and yet the odds-makers opened the Tide a small favorite on a neutral site. I could go through a lot of stuff but it is simply a matter of those who really are in the know and those that think they are. Take ALABAMA! |

11-26-22 | Jazz +7.5 v. Suns | 112-113 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
Utah at Phoenix 9:00 ET Jazz (+) over Suns- I guess three is the optimum number as the Suns who are 10-1 SU at home and a fine 8-3 ATS have won their last three while Utah is 0-3 SU and ATS in their last three games entering this contest. These two are with different styles as the Jazz will score on you averaging 117.4 PPG ranked No. 3 while Phoenix will shut you down defensively ranking No. 5 allowing just 107.4. Utah is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games against teams with winning records. The Suns who have won 3-in-a-row are just 1-5 ATS after a SU win. Take UTAH! |

11-26-22 | Iowa v. TCU +7 | 66-79 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Iowa vs TCU 7:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Hawkeyes- TCU was ranked 10 places higher than was Iowa in the preseason NCAA Basketball polls. But, they have yet to show the form that is expected and even dropped a 64-63 decision as a 21.2-point home favorite losing to Northwestern State (Do we even know what State they are in). Now, facing a Top-25 ranked team as Iowa (5-0) continues to climb in the polls until tomorrow after today’s loss. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |

11-25-22 | Kings +8 v. Celtics | 104-122 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
Sacramento at Boston 8:00 ET Kings (+) over Celtics- The Kings opened the season with four straight losses and have been on a tear ever since and even the bookies haven’t caught up with them as they are 7-2 ATS in their last nine and have been ‘money’ on the road going 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 away from home. Boston may end up in the Eastern Finals and are No. 2 on offense averaging 119.7 PPG but, guess who is No. 1 in NBA scoring, why it is the Kings at 120.0. Kings 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and get the money here. Take SACRAMENTO! |

11-25-22 | Lakers -2.5 v. Spurs | 105-94 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
LA Lakers at San Antonio 8:30 ET Lakers (-) over Spurs- I know, I know. I know...but my I must play teams when things just don’t look right and you tell me if this does. Los Angeles is not only 5-11 SU but ATS as well and generally have not been very competitive with or without James or Davis. But, oh my, they are favored here on the road against a team with a better record that is sinking faster than the Yankees in the playoffs. Upon review we see the Spurs have lost six straight and 9-of-10 with the lone victory a 111-93 win over Milwaukee (Go figure!). San Antonio is at the bottom end of all defensive categories, enough that even the Lakers can beat them. Take LA LAKERS! |

11-25-22 | Cavs +4.5 v. Bucks | Top | 102-117 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Cleveland at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Bucks- Cleveland is looking avenge a 113-98 loss to Milwaukee. The loss marked the Cavaliers fifth straight but won over the Hornets, Heat, Hawks and Trail Blazers. Bucks are 9-2 SU at home but Cavaliers are are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 following a straight up win. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
11-25-22 | Iowa v. Clemson +8.5 | Top | 74-71 | Win | 100 | 8 h 60 m | Show |
Iowa vs Clemson 7:00 ET Hawkeyes over Tigers- As I have said before because power schools schedule so many powder puffs it is difficult to evaluate just how good they may actually be. Clemson has had one game among their five against a Division I school and they lost to South Carolina. Iowa has covered all four games playing one legit opponent defeating Seton Hall by 17 points in the Pirates Cove. Hawkeyes are 17-8-2 ATS at neutral sites while the Tigers are 5-1 ATS at neutral sites they are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. One thing to respect is that Clemson has 20 years of playing experience among their starters. Take CLEMSON! |

11-24-22 | Alabama -3.5 v. Michigan State | Top | 81-70 | Win | 100 | 21 h 44 m | Show |
Alabama vs Michigan State 10:30 ET Crimson Tide (-) over Spartans- This one gets me with Michigan State being the higher ranked team at No. 12 and the Crimson Tide being the favorite ranked No. 18 and it is not a tiny number. The bookmaker is telling us that Alabama is the better team and although the media believes otherwise and I trust the bookies (Not really) to have better knowledge. What concerns me is the schedule that these two squads have undertaken as the Spartans have dealt with Kentucky, Gonzaga and Villanova while the Tide were dealing with the likes of Longwood, Liberty, South Alabama and Jacksonville State who combined are all under .500. Comparing stats it is easy to see why Books have chosen this price as the Tide are better at both ends of the court, be it against inferior opposition but regardless they rank 26th on offense and MSU is 177th and on defense No. 31 for Bama and 140 for State. P.S.- Tide lead the nation in rebounding. Take ALABAMA! |

11-24-22 | Memphis -1 v. Seton Hall | 69-70 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 43 m | Show | |
Memphis vs Seton Hall 7:30 ET Tigers over Seton Hall- A pair of my favorite ‘money making schools’ clash a long way from home in Glendale Arizona. Once again we have a club that beat up on the little guy and was beaten by a viable opponent, Seton Hall had their way locally with Monmouth, St. Peter’s and were crushed by Iowa 83-67 and then they destroyed Wagner 82-44. The Tigers are 2-1 having played three legit teams in Vanderbilt, VCU and Southern Illinois. Take MEMPHIS! |

11-24-22 | Iowa State +2.5 v. Villanova | Top | 81-79 | Win | 100 | 14 h 45 m | Show |
Iowa State vs. Villanova 3:30 ET Cyclones (+) over Wildcats- Oh, I like what is coming out of Ames as T.J. Otzelberger has taken the air out of the ball and returned to fundamentals starting with defense. Iowa State holds their opponents to an absurd 45.0 PPG while holding opponents to 32.8% shooting from the floor. Add that Villanova who is just not the same since Jay Wright took a powder and it will show here as they are ranked No. 260 on offense scoring just 69 PPG and are ranked No. 346 (Yep) in rebounding. Cyclones 6-2 ATS last eight neutral site games and Cats are 1-4 ATS in last five. Take IOWA STATE! |

11-23-22 | Wizards +2 v. Heat | 105-113 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
Washington at Miami 7:30 ET Wizards (+) over Heat- There is something going on with the Heat that I’m not quite sure what it is but there are issues that the coaching and players must work out. Miami returns home after dropped four straight on the road falling o 1-7 away from South Beach. Jimmy Butler is in and out of the line-up and the Wizards will most likely be with leading scorer Bradley Beal. The Wiz are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games in Miami while the Heat are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games overall. Take WASHINGTON! |

11-22-22 | Lakers +7.5 v. Suns | 105-115 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
LA Lakers at Phoenix 10:00 ET Lakers (+) over Suns- I was wondering just how long it would be until the Lakers started playing professional basketball and it looks to me that they have. They return of Anthony Davis has had a huge impact especially since he has become more aggressive offensively scoring 37, 38 and 30 points in his last three outings. Russell Westbrook is dealing with a bad thumb and his playing time should be limited which increases the Lakers chance winning. Take LA LAKERS! |

11-22-22 | Pistons +6 v. Nuggets | 110-108 | Win | 100 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
Detroit at Denver 9:30 ET Pistons (+) over Nuggets- On Friday Denver was without three starters and were crushed by Megabucks winner Dallas 127-99 but managed to upset the Mavericks 98-97 on Sunday. But, they are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight-up win. Now, they return home and with Nikola Jokie still out the Nuggets will be hard pressed to cover against the Pistons who have dropped seven in-a-row. Nuggets fall short here. Take DETROIT! |

11-22-22 | Nets -7.5 v. 76ers | Top | 106-115 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 17 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Philadelphia 7:30 ET Nets (-) over 76ers- So, here we go with the daily drama that is the 76ers. Joel Embiid will be out for the next two games joining James Harden and Tyrese Maxey out with minor injuries. And of course the return of Ben Simmons to Philadelphia for the first time since his mental issues began. Kyrie Irving of course will attract more attention to this NBA circus. The Nets are starting play beyond the noise and have are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games and they are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. 76ers are 5-0 ATS in last five home games but just 2-7 ATS when hosting a team with a losing record. Take BROOKLYN! |

11-21-22 | Knicks +2.5 v. Thunder | 129-119 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
New York at Oklahoma City 8:30 ET Knicks (+) over Thunder- Knicks 17-5 ATS in second game of last 22 back-to-backs, 1-7 ATS in last eight visits and they were favorites and now they are underdogs. New York has dropped the last three meetings straight-up and look to reverse that trend with a 3-guard offense that is struggling because of poor shooting by No.1 draft pick PJ Barrett who’s throwing it up at a 26.5 from the floor and only 8% (2 of 25) from 3-point range. The Thunder will be a bit short-handed as four players are to be sidelined. Take NEW YORK! |

11-21-22 | Hawks +2.5 v. Cavs | Top | 102-114 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 27 m | Show |
Atlanta at Cleveland 7:00 ET Hawks (+) over Cavaliers- Oh yeah, perfect spot for turn around upset. Cleveland as our Megabucks release Sunday rand they responded by blowing out the Heat 113-87 and now host the high flying Hawks. It would be a long shot that the Cavaliers can repeat that type of performance. If trends are any sign the home team and series record would have us on the Cavs, but not us! We smell a rat here or at least something not so good. Take ATLANTA! |

11-20-22 | Heat v. Cavs -9.5 | Top | 87-113 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show |
Miami at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Heat- Fresh off their five game losing streak Cleveland hosts Miami who is on a two-side of their own. The Heat have taken to the road and have been downed at Toronto and Washington. They are having difficulties keeping talent on the court as Butler and Adebayo are plagued with injuries. The Heat are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 against teams with winning records and the Cavaliers are 8-1 after a SU win. Take CLEVELAND! |

11-20-22 | Baylor v. UCLA +2.5 | Top | 80-75 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
UCLA vs. Baylor 5:30 ET Bruins (+) over Bears- One of these wild critters will leave Las Vegas with two consecutive losses and a damper on the start of their season. UCLA held a 41-28 lead in the second half before the Illini when on a shooting spree and outscored the baby bears 51-29. The Bears allowed Virginia to shoot 56% and trailed by 23-points in the second half and were never really in it. Bruins are 6-1 ATS after a SU loss and Naylor is 1-5 ATS against teams with winning records. Take UCLA! |
