02-11-21 | Ducks v. Golden Knights OVER 5.5 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -113 | 12 h 21 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NHL TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Vegas Golden Knights and the Anaheim Ducks combined for nine goals in a 5-4 Vegas win a couple of days ago. Seven of Vegas' last eight have gone over the total, and I think we'll see another high-scoring affair tonight with John Gibson (2.48 GAA) and Robin Lehner (2.96 GAA) expected to tend the nets. Gibson has given up at least three goals in four of his last five starts while Lehner's GAA of almost 3 over the season says it all. 10* play on OVER. |

02-11-21 | Pacers -3 v. Pistons | Top | 111-95 | Win | 100 | 14 h 51 m | Show |
*BIG BET ALERT* TOP-RATED 10* NBA CENTRAL GAME OF THE YEAR The Indiana Pacers have lost four in a row and failed to cover the number in six of their last seven games. They will be playing on no rest following a 10-point loss at Brooklyn last night. However, note that the Pacers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest, 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite. They'll face a Detroit team in a letdown spot after covering the spread in back-to-back games, first taking the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers to double overtime on Saturday and then recording a 122-111 upset win over Brooklyn on Tuesday. Pistons are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Pistons are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. 10* play on Indiana Pacers. |

02-10-21 | Hawks +4.5 v. Mavs | Top | 117-118 | Win | 100 | 19 h 57 m | Show |
*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* TOP-RATED 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a 127-122 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday to make it three wins in four games. The Mavs still failed to cover the spread in the win, and they are 1-9 ATS over their last 10 games. Here they'll face a well-rested Atlanta team that has had plenty of time to prepare since snapping a three-game losing streak with a 132-121 win over the Toronto Raptors on February 6. Hawks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 3 or more days rest, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Mavericks are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 home games. The Mavericks defeated Atlanta 122-116 on Feb. 3, but the Hawks are still a solid 11-3 ATS in the last 14 meetings. 10* play on Atlanta Hawks. |

02-10-21 | Maple Leafs v. Canadiens -106 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
*BIG BET ALERT* TOP-RATED 10* NHL GAME OF THE WEEK (SIDE) The Montreal Canadiens have won six of their last eight games. They average a league-best 4.0 goals per game and have also locked down on defense in recent games. The Toronto Maple Leafs have won three straight and seven of their last eight, but they looked sluggish and recorded only 19 shots in a 3-1 win over Vancouver last time out. Maple Leafs are 4-9 in their last 13 games as a road underdog. Maple Leafs are 6-14 in their last 20 games as an underdog. Canadiens are 6-2 in their last 8 games as a favorite. Maple Leafs are 3-11 in the last 14 meetings in Montreal. 10* play on Montreal Canadiens. |

02-09-21 | Blackhawks v. Stars -148 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -148 | 21 h 18 m | Show |
*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* NHL CENTRAL GAME OF THE MONTH | 10* TOP PLAY The Chicago Blackhawks have won three of their last four and picked up their first road win of the season with a 2-1 OT triumph here at Dallas on Sunday. In other words, good spot to fade Chicago in this game. That loss was the Stars' first setback home at American Airlines Center for the year. "We left a point on the board today, in my opinion," Dallas coach Rick Bowness said Sunday, "and we've got to get it back on Tuesday night." I like the home team to bounce back with a big game tonight. Blackhawks are 4-12 in their last 16 games as an underdog. Blackhawks are 5-17 in their last 22 games as a road underdog. Stars are 5-1 in their last 6 games as a home favorite. Stars are 7-2 in their last 9 games as a favorite. 10* play on Dallas Stars. |

*BAILOUT PLAY* THUNDER @ LAKERS NBA 10* TOP PLAY The Los Angeles Lakers have covered the spread in only two of their last seven games, and last time out Detroit gave them a real scare taking the game to overtime as a 14-point dog. The Oklahoma City Thunder have won four of their last seven games, winning three of those as underdogs. Thunder are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games. Thunder are 25-9 ATS in their last 34 games as a road underdog. Lakers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite. Thunder are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Los Angeles. 10* play on Oklahoma City Thunder. |

02-08-21 | Crystal Palace v. Leeds United -108 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* EPL PLAY OF THE DAY Leeds United had won back-to-back road games prior to a 2-1 home loss to Everton last time out. I like Leeds to bounce back here against a Crystal Palace side that is coming off a pair of wins over Wolves and Newcastle. Palace will be shorthanded with 10 players at risk of missing this game, several regular starters including star attacker Wilfried Zaha who has nine goals in 19 games. 10* play on Leeds Unied. |

02-07-21 | Chiefs v. Bucs +3 | Top | 9-31 | Win | 100 | 15 h 14 m | Show |
CHIEFS VS BUCS SUPER BOWL LV *BEST OF THE BEST* The oddsmakers have the Kansas City Chiefs as a three-point favorite over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl. I think the value is on the underdog. While the Chiefs have an edge offensively, the Bucs defense is one of the best in the league and going against Tom Brady in big games is rarely a winning proposition. We can also note that Tampa Bay has home field advantage, and even though there will be a limited amount of fans at the game, at least they are very familiar with the stadium. Buccaneers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog. Chiefs are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. Chiefs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings. 10* play on Tampa Bay Buccaneers. |

02-07-21 | Kings +8.5 v. Clippers | Top | 113-110 | Win | 100 | 15 h 54 m | Show |
*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* | TOP-RATED 10* NBA PACIFIC GAME OF THE MONTH This might look like a tough spot for the Kings who will be playing on no rest after defeating the Nuggets last night, but the way they are playing right now I still think Sacramento is spotted way too many points in this contest. The Kings are playing their best basketball of the season and have covered the spread in seven straight games, winning six of those outright despite closing five of the games as underdogs. The Clippers have dropped three of their last seven outright and they'll be without two key pieces as Patrick Beverley (knee) and Paul George (toe) are both out with injuries. 10* play on Sacramento Kings. |
|||||||
02-06-21 | West Ham United +110 v. Fulham | Top | 0-0 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 41 m | Show |
*BIG BET ALERT* TOP-RATED 10* EPL SOCCER GAME OF THE WEEK This looks like a great price on fifth-placed West Ham to beat 18th-placed Fulham who is in deep relegation trouble with only 14 points in 21 games. Fulham's 17 goals scored is the second-worst mark in the league and they have been shut out in four of their last six games. The Hammers on the other hand are on a roll, with seven wins and a loss to Liverpool in their last eight games. 10* play on West Ham. |

02-05-21 | Celtics +6 v. Clippers | Top | 119-115 | Win | 100 | 20 h 40 m | Show |
*BAILOUT PLAY* TOP-RATED 10* CELTICS @ CLIPPERS BOOKIE BREAKER The Los Angeles Clippers have won four of their last five, including a 121-99 win at Cleveland last time out. This looks like a potential letdown spot though as they return home from a six-game trip that started on Jan 28. The Boston Celtics on the other hand have dropped three of their last four, including a 116-111 loss at Sacramento last time out. I think the Celtics will be well up for this one. Celtics are 23-9 ATS in their last 32 games as an underdog. Celtics are 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games as a road underdog. 10* play on Boston Celtics. |

02-04-21 | Flames -116 v. Jets | Top | 1-4 | Loss | -116 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* FLAMES VS JETS NHL BIG HITTER The Winnipeg Jets and the Calgary Flames are tied at 1-1 heading into the finale of this three-game series. Winnipeg won the last meeting, but that was with a pair of backup goalies in net for both teams. That means Jacob Markstrom between the sticks for the Flames, and he's a hot 4-2-1 with a 2.27 GAA on the season. Flames are 10-3 in their last 13 games as a favorite. Flames are 7-3 in their last 10 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. Jets are 4-10 in their last 14 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation. Jets are 4-14 in their last 18 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. Jets are 2-5 in their last 7 games following a win. 10* play on Calgary Flames.

*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* WARRIORS VS MAVS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* TOP PLAY This looks like a great spot to back the Golden State Warriors to bounce back from a 111-107 loss to Boston. This will be only their second game of the week while the Mavs will be playing the second game of a back-to-back after winning at Atlanta last night. Mavericks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest, and they had failed to cover the spread in six straight games prior to yesterday's win. 10* play on Golden State Warriors |

02-04-21 | Ohio State v. Iowa -5.5 | Top | 89-85 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 55 m | Show |
*BIG BET ALERT* OHIO STATE VS IOWA BIG TEN GAME OF THE MONTH The Ohio State Buckeyes are riding a three-game winning streak that started with an upset win at Wisconsin on Jan 23. I do not like their chances in this one though, facing an Iowa team that is undervalued and due for a big game after winning only one of its last three games, failing to cover the spread in all three. While Ohio State has scored 70+ points in three straight games, note that Iowa has the second-best scoring average in the nation on the season, averaging 89.4 points per game. Hawkeyes are 15-2 ATS in their last 17 games following a ATS loss. Hawkeyes are 20-5-2 ATS in their last 27 home games. Buckeyes are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 10* play on Iowa. |

02-04-21 | Chelsea v. Tottenham Hotspur UNDER 2.5 | Top | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* EPL TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY Tottenham has scored only one goal in its last two games, both losses. The absence of star striker Harry Kane hurts Spurs' offense immensely, but the team's defense is solid with only 21 goals allowed 20 EPL games on the season. Chelsea is also a good defensive team with 23 goals allowed in 21 games, and it is coming off back-to-back clean sheets. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
02-03-21 | Suns v. Pelicans UNDER 223 | Top | 101-123 | Loss | -104 | 23 h 23 m | Show |
*BAILOUT PLAY* | TOP-RATED 10* SUNS VS PELICANS TOTAL | 8-3 RUN! The Phoenix Suns are riding a three-game winning streak, and improved defense has been a key component in their success. Over their last four games, the Suns have held opponents to an average of 102 ppg, and here they'll face a New Orleans team that has a bottom-third scoring average. As for Phoenix, its offense is far more potent at home than on the road. Under is 8-3 in Suns last 11 road games. Under is 5-1 in Suns last 6 games as a road favorite. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
02-03-21 | Houston -16 v. East Carolina | Top | 73-82 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 51 m | Show |
*BIG BET ALERT* NCAAB AAC GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* TOP PLAY The Houston Cougars have reeled off eight straight wins (7-1 ATS) since an upset loss at Tulsa on Dec 29. They have won five of their last six by 20+ points, including a 70-48 thrashing of a 9-3 SMU team last time out. East Carolina is 7-6 SU (3-8 ATS) on the season, and coming off five straight losses SU and ATS. I just don't see the Pirates keeping pace with the superior Cougars. 10* play on Houston. |

02-02-21 | Clippers v. Nets -114 | Top | 120-124 | Win | 100 | 12 h 15 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* CLIPPERS VS NETS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Great spot to back the Nets coming off a loss, facing a Clippers team that will be without Patrick Beverley and Nicolas Batum. Clippers are 3-16 ATS in the last 19 meetings in Brooklyn. Clippers are 5-15 ATS in the last 20 meetings. 10* play on Brooklyn. |

02-02-21 | Southampton v. Manchester United OVER 3 | Top | 0-9 | Win | 100 | 5 h 6 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* EPL TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY Man United is coming off a 0-0 draw at Arsenal. It was a small miracle the game ended in a goalless draw considering the number of quality goalscoring opportunities both teams created. I think we'll see compensation and plenty of goals in this one with Man U pushing the tempo home at Old Trafford. 10* play on OVER. |

01-31-21 | Cavs -3 v. Wolves | Top | 104-109 | Loss | -112 | 19 h 46 m | Show |
*BAILOUT PLAY* TOP-RATED 10* CAVS @ WOLVES BOOKIE BREAKER - 8-2 RUN! Good spot to back the 9-10 Cavs as they look to bounce back from a humiliating 102-81 road loss to the Knicks. They are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 15-6 ATS in their last 21 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. The 4-14 Wolves have won only one of their last eight games, and they are 2-6 ATS during that stretch. Timberwolves are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Cavaliers are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Minnesota. 10* play on Cleveland. |

01-31-21 | Michigan State +7.5 v. Ohio State | Top | 62-79 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 26 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY TOP-RATED 10* MICHIGAN STATE @ OHIO STATE *BEST OF THE BEST* Ohio State defeated Penn State 83-79 last time out, but it was far from an impressive performance as the Buckeyes committed a season-high 17 turnovers. I think we'll see another lackluster win for the Buckeyes here, and while I do think they'll win outright, I really like Michigan State to cover the number. The Spartans shot only 29% (16-of-56) from the field in an embarrassing 67-37 loss at Rutgers on Thursday. They are somewhat excused as it was the Spartans' first game since Jan. 8 after having three games postponed due to COVID-19 issues in the program. "I'm sure we have a little COVID hangover, I understand that, but that will not be an excuse for the way we played," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. "That would be a good excuse for losing a game, but not the way we played." I have no doubt coach Izzo will have his players better prepared for this one. 10* play on Michigan State. |

01-31-21 | Leeds United v. Leicester -125 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -125 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* EPL SOCCER GAME OF THE WEEK Leeds is doing quite well with eight wins, two draws, and nine losses in 19 EPL games. There is a clear trend though; they tend to beat up on lesser teams but struggle with top-tier teams. We find Leicester in third place of the standings, undefeated with six wins and three draws in their last nine games all competitions included. This looks like a more than fair price on the Foxes at home. 10* play on Leicester. |

01-30-21 | Pistons v. Warriors -5.5 | Top | 91-118 | Win | 100 | 20 h 48 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* PISTONS @ WARRIORS BOOKIE BREAKER - 10 PM ET START Potential flat spot for the Pistons who are coming off a double-digit win over the Lakers. Pistons are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 7-15-2 ATS in their last 24 games following a straight up win. The Warriors will be hungry to bounce back from a disappointing 19-point loss at Phoenix. They defeated Detroit 116-106 at home back on Dec 29, and I don't think the revenge angle will be much of a factor. The Pistons are allowing opponents to shoot 38.8% from behind the arc (26th) and I expect Steph Curry and the rest of the Warriors' to punish them. 10* play on Golden State. |

01-30-21 | Florida State -3.5 v. Georgia Tech | Top | 65-76 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 31 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* ACC GAME OF THE MONTH Florida State defeated Georgia Tech at home 74-61 on Dec. 15. The Seminoles are playing even better basketball right now, coming off five straight wins SU and ATS (four wins by double-digits) while Georgia Tech is coming off a pair of losses at Virginia and Duke. Ride the hot hand with the Noles to get the job done on the road. 10* play on Florida State. |

01-29-21 | Bucks -7 v. Pelicans | Top | 126-131 | Loss | -109 | 18 h 33 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK The Milwaukee Bucks are averaging a league-leading 119.8 points per game. New Orleans is coming off a 124-106 win over a shorthanded Washington team, but had allowed 123, 118, 129 and 120 points in their last four games prior. I expect the Bucks to have their way with the Pels here and win by double-digits. Pelicans are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog. Pelicans are 6-22-2 ATS in their last 30 Friday games. 10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |

TOP-RATED 10* MEMPHIS VS SMU CBB PLAY OF THE DAY SMU is 5-2 at home and will be looking to avenge a loss at Memphis just a couple of days ago. Potential flat spot for the Tigers following three straight wins SU and ATS. Tigers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win. Mustangs are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Home team is 15-6 ATS in the last 21 meetings. 10* play on SMU. |

01-27-21 | Mavs +4 v. Jazz | Top | 104-116 | Loss | -106 | 14 h 54 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Utah Jazz have won and covered the spread in nine straight games. I think they're in trouble in this one though as Dallas is getting Josh Richardson, Dorian Finney-Smith and Dwight Powell back after being sidelined due to the NBA's health and safety protocols. I expect a big effort from the Mavs following a pair of home losses to Houston and Denver, and they've had a day of rest unlike Utah who beat the Knicks last night. Mavericks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. Mavericks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog. Jazz are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest. 10* play on Dallas. |

*MAJOR WAGER* NHL WEST GAME OF THE MONTH ~ 100% PERFECT 5-0 TOP PLAY RUN The LA Kings have won only two games this season. This looks like a great time to fade them, following a big effort in a 6-3 win over the Blues on Sunday. The Wild meanwhile will be looking to bounce back from a 5-3 loss at San Jose. Kings are 2-5 in their last 7 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game. Kings are 17-41 in their last 58 games as a road underdog. Wild are 5-0 in their last 5 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game. Kings are 1-7 in the last 8 meetings in Minnesota. 10* play on Minnesota. |

SIZZLING 5-1 (83%) CBB RUN ~ BIG 12 GAME OF THE MONTH *BIG BET ALERT* No. 5 Texas has not played since beating Kansas State 82-67 on January 16 as it has had its last two games, at Iowa State and at TCU, were postponed because of COVID-19. I still think they'll be sharp enough to beat the Sooners who are coming off an upset win against Kansas. No. 24 Oklahoma struggles defending the three allowing opponents to shoot 36.8% from three-point range and the Longhorns have had a couple of big games from behind the arc. 10* play on Texas. |

01-25-21 | Thunder +6 v. Blazers | Top | 125-122 | Win | 100 | 18 h 30 m | Show |
*BAILOUT PLAY* - THUNDER VS BLAZERS 10* NBA TOP PLAY Tough spot for the Blazers who will be playing on no rest and had to hold on for dear life to defeat the Knicks last night despite leading by 20+ points at one point in the game. Dame Lillard logged 35 minutes, and the Blazers are struggling with depth with McCollum and Nurkic out due to injury. The Thunder should be well up for a win after opening this five-game road trip with three losses. They are 23-9 ATS in their last 32 games as a road underdog while the Trail Blazers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 home games overall. OKC is 5-4 straight up on the road on the season and Trail Blazers are 0-10-2 ATS in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. 10* play on Oklahoma City Thunder. |

TOP-RATED 10* HAWKS VS BUCKS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like an excellent spot to back an angry and well-rested Milwaukee team. The Bucks have played only two games this week, a 125-123 loss at Brooklyn on Monday followed by a 113-106 loss to the Lakers on Thursday. Friday's scheduled game against the Wizards was postponed due to contract tracing on Washington's side The Hawks have played every other day since January 16 and they're in a potential flat spot coming off three straight wins SU and ATS against below-average teams (against Minnesota x 2 and Detroit). 10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |

01-24-21 | Bills v. Chiefs -3 | Top | 24-38 | Win | 100 | 63 h 8 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME OF THE YEAR The Chiefs did not cover the double-digit spread against the Browns in their Divisional Round matchup, but I think they'll win and cover a much smaller number here against the Bills. As of this writing, Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is in concussion protocol, but I fully expect him to be activated. "(Mahomes) took all the snaps and he feels good, so we're just going to follow this protocol as close as we possibly can," Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters Wednesday. Looking at stats, it looks like the Bills can go toe to toe with KC offensively, but I hold the Chiefs as the more complete team. Also, it feels like they've been cruising along most of the season why pure stats do not tell the whole story about their performance. KC held nine opponents to 20 or fewer points, and even though Bills' QB Josh Allen has had a spectacular season, there is a risk of the pressure getting to the inexperienced signal caller in this one. These teams met in Buffalo earlier in the season, and Kansas City won 26-17. Take KC. (If you can buy down to -2.5, do it. This pick will be graded as -3). 10* play on Kansas City. |

*BIG BET ALERT* NHL EAST GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* TOP PLAY The Buffalo Sabres are 1-3-1 on the season. All their losses have come to the Washington Capitals, most recently a 4-3 OT setback Friday night. The Caps are 3-0-2 on the season but four of their five games being decided by a single goal, and three have gone past regulation. The Caps will be shorthanded with star captain Alex Ovechkin, No. 1 goaltender Ilya Samsonov, forward Evgeny Kuznetsov and defenseman Dmitry Orlov all ruled out because of NHL COVID-19 protocols. I fully expect the Sabres to be the more motivated of the two sides in this one. 10* play on Buffalo. |

01-24-21 | Bucs v. Packers -3.5 | Top | 31-26 | Loss | -106 | 15 h 58 m | Show |
*BEST BET ALERT* BUCS @ PACKERS NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME The Bucs looked solid in their 30-20 win over the Saints in the Divisional Round, but I think the Packers will be too much to handle. The Bucs rank only 21st in the league agains the pass, and here they'll face MVP favorite Aaron Rodgers. I also think Green Bay's defense is not getting as much credit as it should, and note that even though TB put up 30 points on the board last week, they had only 300 something yards of total offense. 10* play on Green Bay Packers. |

01-24-21 | Davidson -2 v. Massachusetts | Top | 69-60 | Win | 100 | 8 h 45 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY DAVIDSON @ UMASS TOP RATED CBB PLAY OF THE DAY Davidson is coming off three straight wins. While they are only 1-2 ATS through those games, note that the two games they did not cover, the Wildcats still won by double-digits. UMass has also won three in a row, covering the spread in each game. The Minutemen held Fordham to 46 points last time out, but their defense is still a concern allowing 75.0 ppg on the season. The Wildcats meanwhile are holding opponents to 65.1 ppg while putting up 72.9 ppg themselves. 10* play on Davidson. |

TOP-RATED WARRIORS @ JAZZ NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Love the Warriors as an underdog at Utah tonight. The Jazz should cool off at any time now entering this game on a seven-game winning streak SU and ATS. The Warriors on the other hand look to bounce back from a disappointing home loss to the Knicks. Jazz put 129 points against New Orleans last time out. They are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Warriors are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog.

*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* TOP-RATED 10* EPL TOTAL SOCCER GAME OF THE MONTH Aston Villa is winless through its last four games while Newcastle is on an ugly streak of nine games without a win. The visitors have scored only 18 goals in 18 games while Aston Villa has conceded 18 goals in 16 games. I don't see many goals in this one. 10* play on UNDER. |

01-23-21 | Connecticut v. Creighton -7.5 | Top | 66-74 | Win | 100 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY UCONN @ CREIGHTON 10* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Two teams coming off a loss as favorites. Actually, No. 11 Creighton is coming off back-to-back setbacks and I think it'll be the side to bounce back to win and cover as a favorite. The Huskies are 7-2 ATS on the season despite shooting only 43% from the field (233rd). Creighton meanwhile is one of the most effective teams in the nation with a 49% field goal percentage (29th). Sure, the Bluejays needed OT to win at Connecticut back in December, but I think they'll steamroll their opponent this time around. 10* play on Creighton. |

*BAILOUT PLAY* TOP-RATED KNICKS VS KINGS BOOKIE BREAKER Love the Kings here as they look to bounce back from a humiliating loss at LA Clippers. The Knicks are in a letdown spot coming off three straight underdog wins, most recently a double-digit triumph at Golden State last night. Take the triggered Kings against the fat and happy Knicks. 10* play on Kings. |

01-22-21 | Oilers v. Maple Leafs -140 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 16 h 10 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NHL NORTH GAME OF THE MONTH This looks like a great spot to back the Leafs to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to the Oilers in the opener of this home-then-home doubleheader. Toronto outshot the Oilers 26-21 in the first game and they own a winning record on the season (3-2-0) while Edmonton has a losing record (2-3-0). Toronto sniper Auston Matthews missed practice yesterday; "He just wasn't feeling great coming off the game," Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said. "We'll have an update [Friday] morning." If Matthews plays, great. If not, I expect the rest of the Leafs to step it up a notch and take more responsibility in the absence of their best player, particularly coming off a loss. Oilers are 2-7 in the last 9 meetings in Toronto. The favorite is 12-3 in the last 15 meetings. 10* play on Toronto. |

01-21-21 | Knicks v. Warriors -5.5 | Top | 119-104 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 48 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* KNICKS VS WARRIORS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Warriors are riding a two-game winning streak following wins over the Lakers and the Spurs. They'll be playing on no rest and their third game in four nights, but I still like them to get it done here against a Knicks team also will be playing its third game in four nights and is 2-5 ATS in its last seven games. Teams playing on no rest (Warriors) facing a team on two or more days of rest (Knicks) are 8-1 ATS on the season. Happy to lay the points with Golden State in this spot. 10* play on Golden State. |

TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY The Flyers have opened the season with three wins in four games, but here they'll face a triggered Boston team coming off a pair of losses. The Bruins are never easy to beat at TD Garden, and they have won 12 of the last 17 when hosting Philly. 10* play on Boston Bruins. |

01-19-21 | Seton Hall +9 v. Villanova | Top | 74-76 | Win | 100 | 11 h 4 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* CBB BIG EAST GAME OF THE MONTH Good spot to fade the Villanova Wildcats who have had almost a month off from competitive basketball since routing Marquette on Dec 23. They'll face a hot Seton Hall team that has won four of its last five games, only falling to Creighton during that span. Admittedly, their setback to the Bluejays was a blowout, but they bounced back nicely with an eight-point win at DePaul last time out. Pirates are 35-16 ATS in their last 51 games as a road underdog. Wildcats are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games as a home favorite. 10* play on Seton Hall. |

01-19-21 | Sabres v. Flyers -145 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 15 h 14 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY - MUST WIN The Buffalo Sabres are coming off a dominant 6-1 in Game 1 of this doubleheader for their first win of the season. The up to that point undefeated Flyers came out flat as a pancake without reigning Selke Trophy Winner Sean Couturier (out injured) and were outshot 37-22. I think the loss sets up a nice bounce back spot tonight. 10* play on Philadelphia Flyers. |

01-18-21 | VMI +7.5 v. East Tennessee State | Top | 81-92 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* CBB PLAY OF THE DAY - MUST WIN! VMI ranks 25th in the nation for points per game on the season and the Keydets just dropped 110 on Citadel. East Tennessee State relies on its defense, but without much success lately allowing 78 points or more in three of its last four games. Keydets are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Underdog is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. 10* play on VMI. |

SUPER EARLY MAGIC @ KNICKS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF MLK DAY Good spot to fade the New York Knicks who will be playing on no rest after snapping a five-game losing streak with an upset win at Boston last night. They'll host an Orlando team looking to end a five-game skid of its own. Sure, the Magic have struggled since losing Markelle Fultz to a season-ending ACL injury, but other players must be stepping up sooner or later. "Let's be honest -- and I talked about this candidly with the group today -- the Markelle injury has taken a lot out of us," Magic head coach Steve Clifford said after a 122-115 loss to the Nets on Saturday. "We have other guys down too, but tonight was the first time since the Cleveland game where I think that we started to find a belief in a way that we could play, so we have a chance to take a step forward." Knicks are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games playing on 0 days rest. Magic are 22-6 ATS in their last 28 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. 10* play on Orlando. |

01-17-21 | Bucs +3 v. Saints | Top | 30-20 | Win | 100 | 14 h 59 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* BUCS @ SAINTS NFL PLAY OF THE DAY The New Orleans Saints have defeated their NFC South rivals twice this season, but I would not be surprised if Tom Brady and the Bucs come through now when it really matters. Tampa's offense is clicking and the team has averaged 35.8 ppg through a five-game winning streak and put up 30+ on a tough Washington defense last week. The Saints have one of the best running backs in the game in Alvin Kamara, but I think he'll struggle agains the Bucs top-ranked run defense. 10* play on Tampa Bay Buccaneers. |

01-17-21 | Capitals v. Penguins -120 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 15 m | Show |
*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* NHL GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* TOP PLAY Good spot to back the Pens to pick up their first win of the season here in their home opener after dropping two games at Philadelphia. They take on a Washington team perhaps a bit too comfortable for their own good coming off wins against Buffalo. Last time out, the Penguins were held to two goals, but they are 15-6 in their last 21 after scoring two goals or fewer in their previous game. 10* play on Pittsburgh Penguins. |

01-16-21 | Ravens v. Bills -2.5 | Top | 3-17 | Win | 100 | 131 h 14 m | Show |
RAVENS @ BILLS DIVISIONAL PLAYOFFS GAME OF THE MONTH The Buffalo Bills win over the Colts in the Wild Card Round was not quite as dominant as their run they closed out the regular season on, but they got the job done in the end. I think they match up rather well with the Ravens who had some early trouble of their own with the Titans in their Wild Card Round game. The Bills offense is the hottest in the NFL, and while the Ravens can run the football, they rank dead last for passing yards per game which is not great when playing from behind, which I think they will here. 10* play on Buffalo Bills. |

01-16-21 | Hornets +8 v. Raptors | Top | 113-116 | Win | 100 | 19 h 49 m | Show |
*BIG BET ALERT* NBA EAST GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* TOP PLAY Toronto has been one of the biggest disappointments in the league (3-8 SU and ATS) and won the last encounter of this doubleheader by only three points. I think the Raptors struggles will continue against the Hornets who are 23-6-1 ATS in their last 30 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400 and 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 road games. Additionally, note that Hornets are 17-7 ATS in the last 24 meetings in Toronto and 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings overall. 10* play on Charlotte. |

*BIG BET ALERT* NCAAB SEC GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* TOP PLAY Alabama is 5-1 SU at home on the season but looks overvalued by the market after winning six straight, including an upset win at Kentucky last time out. For this one, Bama will be without starters Jordan Bruner and Herb Jones who both got injured in the most recent victory. The win over the Wildcats sets up a potential flat spot for the Tide this Saturday while Arkansas is undervalued after losing three of four and taking a 92-76 beating at LSU last time out. 10* play on Arkansas. |

01-15-21 | Bulls +1.5 v. Thunder | Top | 125-127 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 2 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* BULLS @ THUNDER NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Bulls have been money for their against the spread backers all season, going 8-3 ATS. They'll be well rested for this one as they last played on January 10, and they have kept it close against tough teams lately, most recently losing by only a combined five points against the two LA clubs. Here they look like good value against a Thunder team that has started the season 0-5 SU (1-4 ATS) home at Chesapeake Energy Arena. 10* play on Chicago Bulls. |

EARLY TOP-RATED 10* HOFSTRA @ DELAWARE CBB PLAY OF THE DAY Good spot to back the Hofstra Pride as they are undervalued after failing to cover the number in four straight games. This game was supposed to be played on Saturday, but it was delayed due to injury issues for Delaware who had only five healthy scholarship players at that time. I don't see this roughed up Blue Hens team hanging around with Hofstra for 40 minutes. 10* play on Hofstra. |

01-13-21 | Pelicans +6.5 v. Clippers | Top | 106-111 | Win | 100 | 23 h 37 m | Show |
*BAILOUT PLAY* PELICANS @ CLIPPERS 10* TOP PLAY Good spot to fade the Clippers who shot a red hot 53% from behind the arc in a win over Chicago last time out. Such a hot performance is often followed by a cold one, and they'll face a Pelicans team that is undervalued by the oddsmakers and due for a big game after losing three straight SU and ATS. The Clippers is one of the best teams in the league, but they have not been blowout teams out lately. Their last three wins have come by six, seven and three points, and I like the Pels to keep this close. 10* play on New Orleans Pelicans. |

Top-Rated 10* Pacers @ Warriors NBA Top Play Of The Day Tough spot for the Pacers who should be gassed out after running up and down the court in a high-tempo 127-122 loss at Sacramento last night. The Warriors meanwhile have had a day of rest since defeating Toronto last time out. They have won back-to-back games and five of seven since opening the season 0-3. Pacers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest. Warriors are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest. 10* top play on Golden State Warriors. |

01-12-21 | Wisconsin +4 v. Michigan | Top | 54-77 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 38 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* WISCONSIN @ MICHIGAN BIG TEN PLAY OF THE DAY The No. 7 Michigan Wolverines are an unbeaten 10-0 SU and a solid 8-2 ATS on the season, but I think they'll face a tough test from the No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers in this one. The Badgers have already downed one Bit Ten opponent on the road when they defeated Michigan State by nine points on Christmas Day, and they have a defense that has held opponents to an average of 61.5 points on 38.9 percent shooting on the season. The underdog is 16-5 ATS in the last 21 head-to-head in this series, and this one is likely to go down to the wire. 10* play on Wisconsin. |

TOP-RATED 10* MAN UTD @ BURNLEY PREMIER LEAGUE *MAJOR WAGER* Manchester United is 11-5 to the over on the season. They have scored 33 goals but also conceded 24 goals in their 16 EPL games. Burnley is a low-scoring side, but I think Man U will force them to open up in this one. Note that Man U has a 21-11 goal differential (total average of 4.57 goals) through their seven away games. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
01-11-21 | Ohio State v. Alabama OVER 74 | Top | 24-52 | Win | 100 | 10 h 22 m | Show |
OHIO STATE VS ALABAMA CFP CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BEST OF THE BEST The Alabama Crimson Tide limited Notre Dame to 14 points in their semi-finals matchup, but here they'll face a much more accomplished offense in Ohio State. The Buckeyes put up 49 points on Clemson, and QB Juston Fields completed 22-of-28 passes for 385 yards and six TDs against only one INT. Bama is an elite team, but it ranks only 76th in the nation against the pass. The Buckeyes are even worse at 103rd in the country, and they gave up 400 passing yards to Tigers' Trevor Lawrence in the win last week. I think we'll see both QBs air it out and drive up the score. This is a massive number, but the bookies just can't make it big enough IMO. 10* MAX BET on OVER. |

01-11-21 | Colorado -2.5 v. Utah | Top | 65-58 | Win | 100 | 6 h 37 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* COLORADO @ UTAH CBB PLAY OF THE DAY The Utah Utes are not playing well at the moment, coming off three straight losses and they have failed to cover the spread in the last two. That includes a 79-73 home loss to Oregon on January 12, a Ducks team Colorado defeated by seven points two days earlier. The Buffaloes have had plenty of rest since, and I think they'll prove too much to handle for the Utes in this one. Buffaloes are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite. Utes are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games as an underdog. 10* top play on Colorado. |

01-10-21 | Jazz v. Pistons +7.5 | Top | 96-86 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 54 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY *EARLY START* The Detroit Pistons have won just two games on the season, one of them a 110-105 OT win over Phoenix last time out. They have however covered the spread in four of their last five and I'm happy to grab the points on Detroit here against a Utah team on the road and off an upset win at Milwaukee. The Jazz are in the midst of a gruesome seven-game road trip, and even though they should win this game outright, covering the number could be a challenge. Jazz are 6-23-2 ATS in their last 31 games as a favorite and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight-up win. Pistons are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog. 10* play on Detroit Pistons. |

01-10-21 | Ravens v. Titans +3.5 | Top | 20-13 | Loss | -115 | 49 h 47 m | Show |
RAVENS @ TITANS 10* NFL. TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Baltimore Ravens closed out the regular season winning five straight games straight up and covering the number in each of their last six. Their hot run is a big reason why they are a favorite on the road at Tennessee, but I'm not buying it. 10* top play on Tennessee. |

Its last two games have seen a total of eight goals while Udinese's last two have seen a total of nine goals. Four of the last five head-to-head meetings have seen three goals or more. 10* play on OVER. |

01-09-21 | Bucs v. Washington Football Team +8.5 | Top | 31-23 | Win | 100 | 62 h 33 m | Show |
WILD CARD ROUND GAME OF THE YEAR ~ WAS @ TB 10* SIDE First of all, Washington's offense is admittedly absolutely trash as they rank 30th in the NFL for total offense with 317 yards per game, but their defense is truly elite. Here they'll face a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that has had no trouble picking apart subpar defenses, but also struggled at times against tougher opponents. We can also note that Bucs veteran QB Tom Brady has been far from at his best in primetime games this season, and one of his weapons, star wideout Mike Evans, is questionable. The Buccaneers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 playoff games as a favorite while the Football Team are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. 10* game of the year top play on Washington. |
|||||||
01-09-21 | Spurs -6.5 v. Wolves | Top | 125-122 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 46 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA SPURS @ WOLVES NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Minnesota Timberwolves are struggling on both ends of the floor without injured big man Karl-Anthony Towns. They have dropped six in a row straight up (1-5 ATS), five by double-digit score-lines, and allowed 123 points or more in each of those six losses. The San Antonio Spurs are coming into this contest full of confidence, off upset wins over the Clippers and the Lakers in La-La Land. The Timberwolves are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games as underdogs home at Target Center, and I like the Spurs to come out firing in this first game of a doubleheader. 10* top play on San Antonio. |
|||||||
01-09-21 | Rams v. Seahawks UNDER 42.5 | Top | 30-20 | Loss | -110 | 58 h 58 m | Show |
WILD CARD ROUND GAME OF THE YEAR ~ RAMS @ SEAHAWKS 10* TOTAL This is a low number, but note that NFL games with a total lower than 45 points went 37-17 (68.5%) to the under this season. As for these two teams, the Rams are 12-4 to the under on the season and they rank No. 1 for scoring defense and passing yards allowed while Seattle's defense has quietly been one of the best in the league over the last month. Through their last four games, the Seahawks have allowed, 3, 15, 9 and 23 points. In the two regular season meetings between these two teams we saw 39 and 29 points scored. I expect this to be another low-scoring affair, especially as Rams' QB Jared Goff won't be 100% if he even suits up at all. 10* game of the year top play on UNDER. |

01-09-21 | Ohio State v. Rutgers -3.5 | Top | 79-68 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 17 m | Show |
*BIG BET ALERT* NCAAB BIG TEN ATS GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* TOP PLAY Great bounce-back spot for Rutgers who laid an egg against Michigan State last time out, shooting only 31% from the field in a humiliating 68-45 loss. Ohio State took a 77-60 loss at Minnesota last time out and is 0-4-1 ATS in its last five road games while Rutgers is 15-5-2 ATS in its last 22 home games. The Scarlet Knights rank 35th in the nation making 38.4% of their three-point attempts while the Buckeyes are struggling to defend the three, ranking 258th allowing opponents to make 35.1% of their attempts. 10* play on Rutgers. |

TOP-RATED 10* SUNS @ PISTONS NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Detroit Pistons are winless through their last three games and gave up 130 points to the Bucks last time out. However, note that the under is 16-4 in Pistons' last 20 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game, and in this one, they'll face a Phoenix Suns team that owns the no. 1 scoring defense in the NBA, holding opponents to 102.4 ppg. Last time out, Phoenix knocked down 21-of-40 three-point attempts in a 123-115 win over Toronto, far above its season average, and the Suns are still 6-2 to the under on the season and average only 98.7 possessions per game, dead last in the NBA. 10* play on UNDER. |

TOP-RATED 10* PURDUE @ MICHIGAN STATE NCAAB PLAY OF THE DAY The Purdue Boilermakers are 7-5 SU but only 3-7-2 ATS on the season. Admittedly, the 8-3 Michigan State Spartans have been even worse against the number, but I do like the Spartans to win and cover in this one. Michigan State will be looking to build on a 68-45 beatdown of Rutgers last time out. That same Rutgers team defeated Purdue by five points on December 29, and the Boilermakers are 0-4 SU and 0-3-1 ATS on the road on the season and only 2-8-3 ATS in their last 13 games as a road underdog. 10* top play on Michigan State. |

01-08-21 | Bayern Munich -1 v. Borussia Monchengladbach | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 20 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* BUNDESLIGA SOCCER GAME OF THE MONTH Bayern Munich is sitting top of the table with 10 wins, 3 draws and only one loss. They own a 44-21 goal differential through their 14 games and I expect them to thump Borussia Monchengladbach in this one. Monchengladbach is coming off a pair of wins, but against far worse competition than Munich who put a 5-2 beating on Mainz last time out. The visitors, with stars like with Robert Lewandowski and Leroy Sane, simply have too much offensive firepower for Monchengladbach to keep up with. 10* play on Bayern Munich. |

*BAILOUT PLAY* UCLA @ ARIZONA STATE 8* MIDNIGHT MASSACRE The UCLA Bruins have just one loss on the season, and they're coming off a 65-51 win over Colorado. The Bruins are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite. The Arizona State Sun Devils are 0-7 ATS in their last seven home games and lost by 13 as a 13-point home favorite against UTEP last time out. That was almost three weeks ago as Arizona State has two games on the road last week because of COVID-19 within its program, and they returned to practice Monday, its third practice since Dec. 21. That's just too long time off to do them any good, and I expect an up-to-speed UCLA team to run away with this one. 8* play on UCLA. |

01-07-21 | Idaho v. Southern Utah UNDER 142 | Top | 80-85 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 9 m | Show |
NCAAB GAME OF THE YEAR ~ TOP RATED 10* BIG SKY TOTAL The Southern Utah Thunderbirds are 4-1 to the over on the season, but I think this one will go under the total. They'll face an Idaho team that averages only 60.0 ppg, and Southern Utah's 84.6 ppg average is misleading as they've been running up the score against cupcake teams. We can also note that both teams make just about 2/3 free throw attempts. This will be Idaho's highest closing total of the season. The previous was a 137 total at Utah on December 18. That game went under by 17 points and I am confident that this to be a low-scoring affair. 10* game of the year play on UNDER. |

70% RUN - TOP RATED 10* CAVS @ GRIZZLIES NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Cleveland Cavaliers took a 105-104 loss at Orlando last night, so the Cavs will be playing on no rest but I still think they'll have enough gas left in the tank to cover the number against this shorthanded Memphis team. The Grizzlies are 0-4 SU (1-3 ATS) at home and will have to do without several players, among them Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. They average only 106.9 ppg (23rd), and while the Cavs are averaging even points fewer than that, at least Cleveland can get stops on the defensive end. The Cavs have dropped four of their last five, but they have allowed only 102.6 ppg during that stretch, and that includes giving up 119 points at Indiana. Cavaliers are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite. 10* top play on Cleveland Cavaliers. |

I think they'll be more focused from the get-go here, and I have no problem backing the Clippers in this matchup despite them playing on back-to-back nights and Paul George (ankle) being questionable. |

01-06-21 | Minnesota +7.5 v. Michigan | Top | 57-82 | Loss | -101 | 12 h 43 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* MINNESOTA @ MICHIGAN BIG TEN PLAY OF THE DAY The #9 Michigan Wolverines are undefeated straight up and a solid 7-2 against the spread on the season. This does however look like too big of a number to cover against the #17 Minnesota Golden Gophers who are off to a 10-2 start. Last time out, the Gophers defeated a hot Ohio State team by 17 points while Michigan is coming off an 85-66 win over the #19 Northwestern Wildcats. Michigan has been shooting lights out, but averaging 52% from the field is way above expectation and I think the Wolverines are due to regress. The Gophers have quality wins over #4 Iowa, #17 Michigan State (and as mentioned #25 Ohio State), and I think they'll give Michigan plenty of trouble in this one. 10* top play of the day. |

TOP RATED 10* WOLVES @ NUGGETS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Denver Nuggets are 5-1 to the over on the season. I think this total looks high though considering the Wolves offensive struggles. Sure, the first game of this two-game det saw 233 points, but I expect a lower-scoring affair here as the teams are more familiar with each other's offensive schemes. 10* top play on UNDER. |

01-05-21 | Rutgers v. Michigan State | Top | 45-68 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 29 m | Show |
RUTGERS @ MICHIGAN STATE 10* BIG TEN TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a great spot to back the Rutgers Scarlet Knights as they look to bounce back from a tough loss as an underdog to Iowa. The Hawkeyes made three free throws in the final 17 seconds to earn a 77-75 victory, but Rutgers was arguably the better team throughout the game. The Scarlet Knights still covered the spread to improve to 20-6-2 ATS in their last 28 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and here they'll face a Michigan State team that is coming off its first conference game win after losing their first three Big Ten contests. The Spartans did not cover the number though and they are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games overall. 10* top play on Rutgers. |

01-04-21 | Hornets +9.5 v. 76ers | Top | 101-118 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 48 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* HORNETS @ 76ERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Love the Charlotte Hornets here in the second leg of a two-game set against Philadelphia. The Sixers have covered the spread in three straight games, beating up on Toronto, Orlando and Charlotte, and I would not be surprised if they come out completely flat in this one. The Sixers won the first game 127-112 on Saturday, but they are only 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and the Hornets are a solid 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog. 10* top play on Charlotte Hornets. |
|||||||
01-04-21 | Southern Illinois +11 v. Drake | Top | 55-86 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 50 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* NCAAB PLAY OF THE DAY The Drake Bulldogs are undefeated straight up and against the spread this season. As a result, oodsmakers know that they can inflate the lines against Drake, and square bettors will still back the Bulldogs. The 7-1 Southern Illinois Salukis are far from a pushover, and as both teams are capable of making it rain from behind the arc, I think Drake will struggle to get separation. 10* top play on Southern Illinois. |

01-03-21 | Clippers -2.5 v. Suns | Top | 112-107 | Win | 100 | 11 h 11 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* CLIPPERS @ SUNS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like an excellent spot to back the Los Angeles Clippers to bounce back from a loss at Utah. The Phoenix Suns have managed to stay hot following their 8-0 run in the Disneyworld bubble and have opened the season with a solid 5-1 record SU and ATS, but are they for real? This Clippers side will be the toughest team they've faced so far, and I'm not sure the Suns can compete with them just yet. Clippers are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 road games. Clippers are 37-17 ATS in their last 54 games as a road favorite. 10* top play on Los Angeles Clippers. |

*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* NCAAB GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* TOP PLAY SIDE The Houston Cougars are 7-1, with their only loss coming to Tulsa last time out. They've defeated Texas Tech as underdogs, and I like Houston here in this matchup with SMU. 10* top play on Houston. |

01-03-21 | Chargers -3.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 38-21 | Win | 100 | 29 h 19 m | Show |
NFL GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAJOR WAGER ATS TOP PLAY The 14-1 Kansas City Chiefs have the division title and the No. 1 seed already locked up going into the final week. They have announced that they will rest QB Patrick Mahomes and other stars are likely to get the week off as well. The 6-9 LA Chargers are not going to the postseason, but they are heading into this contest on a three-game winning streak and rookie QB Justin Herbert keeps putting up impressive numbers. Herbert passed for 311 yards and one touchdown in his NFL debut against the Chiefs in Week 2, a 23-20 OT loss. He should have good success against KC's backups. 10* play on Los Angeles Chargers. |

01-03-21 | Ravens v. Bengals OVER 44 | Top | 38-3 | Loss | -103 | 12 h 60 m | Show |
*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* NFL TOTAL GAME OF THE YEAR - REG SEASON The Cincinnati Bengals offense has come alive here at the end of the season, putting up a combined 64 points in back-to-back wins over Pittsburgh and Houston. Quarterback Brandon Allen threw for a career-high 371 yards and two touchdown in a 37-31 win at Houston last week. Their defense remains a liability though, and here they'll face a Ravens side that has averaged 37 ppg through a four-game winning streak. The Ravens need a win to have a shot at a playoff berth, so there's no question whether they will bring it or not while the Bengals would love nothing more than to play spoiler for their division-rival. 10* play on OVER. |

01-02-21 | Knicks +9 v. Pacers | Top | 106-102 | Win | 100 | 19 h 18 m | Show |
KNICKS @ PACERS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Good spot to back the New York Knicks who had won back-to-back games prior to getting blown out at Toronto last time out. The recency bias is giving us a good number against an Indiana team that routed Cleveland in its last game to make it a 4-1 start to the season. Also, the Knicks deserve some credit for their play on the defensive end of the floor. They rank #5 in scoring defense and #2 against the three while Indiana's shooting from behind the arc ranks only #20 in the NBA. 10* play on New York Knicks +9. |

01-02-21 | Kentucky -130 v. NC State | Top | 23-21 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show |
EARLY GATOR BOWL 10* BEST BET - LIVE ON ESPN 12 ET The NC State Wolfpack are 8-3 SU and 7-4 ATS, but I think they'll come up short here against Kentucky in the Gator Bowl. The Wildcats are only 4-6 SU nd 4-5-1 ATS, but they've played a tough schedule facing teams like Georgia, Alabama and Florida. The Wildcats are averaging a solid 187.4 rushing yards per game (46th), and I think they'll run over this NC State defense. 10* play on Kentucky ML. |

01-02-21 | Texas v. Kansas -3.5 | Top | 84-59 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 57 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY TEXAS @ KANSAS 10* NCAAB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Texas Longhorns are 7-1 SU but only 4-4 ATS on the season. They have failed to impress through a fairly soft schedule while the 8-1 SU, 4-4 ATS Kanas Jayhawks are battle-tested with matchups against teams like Gonzaga, Creighton, Texas Tech and West Virginia. Jayhawks are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 10* play on Kansas. |

01-02-21 | Sheffield United v. Crystal Palace +117 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 117 | 3 h 50 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* PREMIER LEAGUE TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Sheffield United sits dead last in the standings with two draws and 14(!) losses in 16 games. We find Crystal Palace in 15th place with five wins, four draws and seven losses. Sheffield United have mustered only four goals while conceding 15 in eight away games. While Crystal Palace hasn't been at its very best, they still have the talent to beat this awful Sheffield United side. 10* play on Crystal Palace. |

01-01-21 | Blazers -3.5 v. Warriors | Top | 123-98 | Win | 100 | 23 h 58 m | Show |
BLAZERS @ WARRIORS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Both teams have started the season 2-2 SU and 1-3 ATS, but I think this looks like an excellent spot to back the Blazers. While Golden State has won back-to-back games against subpar opponents (Detroit and Chicago), the Blazers will be pissed off after suffering a 23-point beatdown by the hands of the Clippers a couple of days ago. Damian Lillard shot just 3-of-14 from the field, but he should bounce back big like the superstar he is and we can note that GoldenState ranks 30th in the league in scoring defense and 30th in the league defending the three. 10* play on Portland -3.5. |

01-01-21 | Ohio State v. Clemson -7 | Top | 49-28 | Loss | -115 | 92 h 23 m | Show |
OHIO STATE VS CLEMSON 10* SUGAR BOWL TOP PLAY I think we're getting tremendous value on the #3 Clemson Tigers as a mere touchdown favorite over #4 Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl and College Football Playoff semifinal. The Buckeyes went undefeated through six games but did not face much competition. Even so, they gave up 261 passing yards per game (103rd) and now they'll face Heisman Trophy favorite, Trevor Lawrence. Clemson has one loss on the season, an OT loss at Notre Dame, a game Lawrence missed sitting in COVID quarantine. Clemson defeated Ohio State by six as a 2.5-point favorite in the 2019 College Football Playoff semifinal. The Buckeyes are talented but not as talented as the Tigers. 10* play on Clemson. |

01-01-21 | West Ham United v. Everton OVER 2.5 | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -103 | 14 h 17 m | Show |
SOCCER TOTAL OF THE WEEK - WEST HAM @ EVERTON 10* MAJOR WAGER Everton closed out 2020 strong with four wins in their last five games. They sit fourth in the EPL standings, despite a rather leaky defense that has allowed 19 goals in 15 games. West Ham has a 23-21 goal differential in 16 EPL games and should be due for some fireworks after playing a sleepy 0-0 draw at Southampton last time out. The Hammers' last two games prior to that outing saw three goals each. 10* play on OVER 2.5. |

12-31-20 | West Virginia v. Army +7 | Top | 24-21 | Win | 100 | 17 h 2 m | Show |
WVU VS ARMY 10* LIBERTY BOWL NCAAF TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The West Virginia Mountaineers have an elite defense that ranks #5 in total defense, but they are better at stopping the pass than the run. The Black Knights is all about moving the sticks on the ground and finished fourth in the country this year in rushing, averaging 281.3 rypg. Much like West Virginia, Army also has an elite defense that ranks #2 in total defense. WVU is averaging only 26.8 ppg, and I think they'll struggle to put up enough points to cover the number in what should be a defensive battle. Mountaineers are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games as a favorite. Black Knights are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games as an underdog. 10* play on Army. |

12-31-20 | Cavs +7 v. Pacers | Top | 99-119 | Loss | -102 | 16 h 8 m | Show |
CAVS @ PACERS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Cleveland Cavaliers have opened the season surprisingly well, coming into this contest with a 3-1 record SU and ATS on the season. They defeated Charlotte, Detroit and Philadelphia as underdogs, before losing as a favorite against the Knicks last time out. I think they'll be a handful for the Pacers who are coming off two tough games against the Celtics. Cavaliers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog. Pacers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a home favorite. 10* play on Cleveland Cavaliers. |

12-30-20 | DePaul +8.5 v. Connecticut | Top | 61-82 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 43 m | Show |
DEPAUL @ CONNECTICUT 10* NCAAB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The DePaul Blue Demons have played two games a blowout win over Western Illinois and an OT loss at Providence. They have averaged 90.5 ppg while shooting 53.3% from the field and 45.5% from behind the arc. I think their shooting will keep them in this game against a UConn team coming off its first setback of the season, a 76-74 OT loss at Creighton on December 20. Don't be surprised if the Huskies come out rusty following the 10 day layoff. 10* play on DePaul. |

12-30-20 | Hawks +6.5 v. Nets | Top | 141-145 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show |
HAWKS @ NETS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Brooklyn Nets have dropped back-to-back games since opening the season 2-0. I think they are in for another tough game here against the high-flying Hawks who are a perfect 3-0 SU (2-1 ATS) on the season. Atlanta has a nice mix of young talent and experience I think the Hawks will be a problem for many teams this season. The Nets meanwhile will often be asked to cover inflated numbers due to big name players like Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, and that is the case here IMO. 10* play on Atlanta Hawks. |

12-29-20 | Bucks -5.5 v. Heat | Top | 144-97 | Win | 100 | 16 h 40 m | Show |
BUCKS @ HEAT 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Milwaukee Bucks are off to a disappointing 1-2 SU and ATS start to the season. Last time out they got humiliated in a 130-110 loss to the Knicks, quite possibly looking ahead for this matchup with Miami. The Heat knocked the top-seeded Bucks out of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, essentially "stealing" the NBA finals spot most experts thought was earmarked for the Bucks. I think this game means a lot for the Bucks. Miami is coming off a 111-98 triumph over the Pelicans on Christmas Day, for this one they may have to do without star Jimmy Butler (sprained right ankle). Bucks are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games following a straight-up loss of more than 10 points. Heat are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight-up win of more than 10 points. 10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. BUCKS @ HEAT NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY |

12-29-20 | Miami-FL v. Virginia Tech -6.5 | Top | 78-80 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 57 m | Show |
MIAMI-FL @ VIRGINIA TECH 10* NCAAB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Virginia Tech Hokies are 7-1 SU and 5-3 ATS on the season. They have covered the spread in three straight wins, the two most recent as 20+ point favorites outscoring their opponents by an average of 33 points while averaging 90.5 ppg. The Miami-Florida Hurricanes are 4-2 SU and 2-4 ATS. They have dropped two of their last three games since opening the year with a 3-0 record and they have failed to cover the spread in three straight games. On the season, they are averaging only 67.8 ppg. The Hokies have covered in eight of the last 11 games in this series and the Hurricanes are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games. 10* play on Virginia Tech. |

12-29-20 | Oklahoma State v. Miami-FL +1.5 | Top | 37-34 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 15 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NCAAF) - OKST VS MIA CHEEZ-IT BOWL TOP PLAY The 18th-ranked Miami-FL Hurricanes had won five straight before getting humiliated in a 62-26 loss to North Carolina in their regular-season finale. "Our kids have a bad taste in our mouths after that game," Hurricanes coach Manny Diaz said. The Hurricanes are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight-up loss of more than 20 points and I expect Miami to show up for the Cheez-It Bowl matchup with the #21 Oklahoma State Cowboys extremely motivated. The Cowboys closed out the regular season with a 42-3 rout of Baylor. They did so without star running back Chuba Hubbard who has opted to skip the rest of the season to prepare for the NFL draft, but they certainly could have used him in this one. Cowboys are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. Cowboys are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Hurricanes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. 10* play on Miami-FL Hurricanes. |

12-28-20 | Colorado v. Arizona -125 | Top | 74-88 | Win | 100 | 21 h 15 m | Show |
COLORADO @ ARIZONA 10* NCAAB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Arizona Wildcats are 6-1 on the season but only 2-5 ATS. They have failed to cover the number in three straight games, and as a result, they are not getting much respect from the betting market for this matchup with Colorado. The Buffaloes are 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS, but this will be only their second game as an underdog. In their previous game as a dog, they failed to cover +6.5 in a 56-47 loss at Tennessee. Buffaloes are 13-39 ATS in their last 52 road games. Wildcats are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. 10* play on Arizona Wildcats. |

12-28-20 | Pistons +9.5 v. Hawks | Top | 120-128 | Win | 100 | 19 h 55 m | Show |
PISTONS @ HAWKS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY These two teams have opened the season in completely different ways, with the Hawks sporting a 2-0 SU and ATS record while the Pistons are 0-2 SU and ATS. I really like this Atlanta team which has a good mix of talent and experience, and yes, Detroit just might be the worst team in the NBA this season, but this looks like too many points to lay against a Pistons team that looks undervalued by the betting market due to recent results. In their first two losses, the Pistons lost to the Timberwolves by 10 and the Cavaliers by nine. I think they'll keep this one closer. 10* play on Detroit Pistons. |
