01-20-21 | Pistons +6 v. Hawks | Top | 115-123 | Loss | -101 | 27 h 1 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +6 -101 The Pistons (+6) are worth a look here as a decently priced road dog against the Hawks. Detroit is just not a team the betting public likes to play and it has them showing value right now. Pistons are a strong 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games. As for the Hawks, they are a team that's way overvalued right now. Atlanta is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games. This team shouldn't be laying this kind of number against any team right now. Play the Pistons +6! |

01-20-21 | VCU v. St Bonaventure -2.5 | Top | 54-70 | Win | 100 | 28 h 6 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on St Bonaventure -2½ -110 St. Bonaventure (-2.5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against VCU in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the Atlantic 10. The Bonnies are one of the best teams in the A-10 this year and simply put should be a bigger favorite in this spot. VCU is a solid team, but are getting a little too much love having won 8 of their last 9. They have failed to cover each of their last 3 games. Also, home favorites (Bonnies) that have won and covered 3 straight as a favorite of 7 or more and are playing a team that won their last game but failed to cover as a favorite are 30-8 (79%) ATS since 1997. Play St. Bonaventure -2.5! |
|||||||
01-19-21 | Thunder v. Nuggets -9.5 | Top | 101-119 | Win | 100 | 30 h 50 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets -9½ -105 The Nuggets (-9.5) are worth a look here as a big home favorite against Oklahoma City in Tuesday's NBA action. For starters, the books are begging you take to take the Thunder and the public is taking the bait. Denver has played better of late, but not to where they should be laying double-digits. That tells me the books really like the Nuggets here. Denver has owned OKC of late, they are 6-1 SU and 6-1 ATS against the Thunder over the last 3 seasons. Play the Nuggets -9.5! |
|||||||
01-19-21 | Ball State v. Miami-OH UNDER 138 | 71-81 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 20 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Ball State vs Miami-OH under 138 -110 The UNDER (138) is worth a look in Tuesday's MACtion on the college hardwood between Miami (OH) and Ball State. The RedHawks are a great UNDER team. They aren't very good offensively, can hold their own defensively and like to play at a slow pace (310th in adjusted tempo). Ball State is more a fast-paced team, but with this game on the road I look for Miami to be able to control the tempo in this one. UNDER is 27-12 in the RedHawks last 39 conference games, 33-13 in their last 46 as a dog and 11-2 when off a road loss. Play the UNDER 138! |
|||||||
01-19-21 | USC v. Oregon State OVER 138 | Top | 56-58 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 45 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on USC vs Oregon State over 138 -105 The OVER (138) is worth a look in Tuesday's Pac-12 matchup between USC and Oregon State. The Trojans are clicking offensively right now. After putting up 95 points on Washington last Thursday, they hung 85 on Washington State Saturday. Expect more of the same against the Beavers. In Oregon State's last 3 games they have allowed 79, 98 and 81 points. No way this total should be less than 140 and I think they could easily push 150 here. Give me the OVER 138! |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Suns v. Grizzlies OVER 223 | 104-108 | Loss | -100 | 24 h 29 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Suns vs Grizzlies over 223 +103 The OVER (223) is worth a look in Monday's NBA action that has the Grizzlies hosting the Suns. Phoenix has found themselves in quite a few high-scoring games here of late. Over has cashed in 4 of the Suns last 5 games. During this stretch Phoenix is scoring 113.4 ppg and giving up 116.4 ppg. Memphis' offensive numbers haven't been great, but they did just get back Ja Morant, so better numbers are to be expected with him on the floor. Play the OVER 223! |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Wolves v. Hawks -8 | Top | 97-108 | Win | 100 | 23 h 53 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks -8 -105 The Hawks (-8) are worth a look here as a big home favorite against the Timberwolves in Monday's NBA action. Minnesota just can't catch a break as they are once again without their best player in Karl-Anthony Towns, who is out with Covid. They are also going to be without Ricky Rubio and Juancho Hernangomez. Whenever Towns has been out this team has really struggled to just be competitive. As bad as Atlanta has been playing this is a team they can make easy work of at home and they got no choice but to show up with how much they need to get this thing turned around. Play the Hawks -8! |
|||||||
01-18-21 | Magic v. Knicks UNDER 208 | 84-91 | Win | 100 | 19 h 23 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Magic vs Knicks under 208 -110 The UNDER (208) is worth a look in Monday's early NBA action between the Knicks and Magic. No surprise that the UNDER has cashed a lot for both of these teams of late, as they have really struggled to score. The UNDER is 6-2-1 in Orlando's last 9 games and a sizzling 9-2 in New York's last 11. Hard to believe either team will be able to get into a great offensive rhythm with the unusual start time. Also love that the Knicks are coming in off an upset win over Boston, as the UNDER has cashed in 13 of NY's last 16 off an upset win as a dog. Play the UNDER 208! |
|||||||
01-17-21 | Bulls v. Mavs -7 | Top | 117-101 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 51 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Mavs -7 -105 The Mavs (-7) are worth a look here as a relatively big home favorite against the Bulls. This is a big time play against Chicago in a very tough situational spot. Not only is this the final game of a long 6-game road trip out west, but the Bulls are coming off a brutal 2nd half collapse in a 125-127 OT loss at OKC on Friday. I just don't think Chicago will be up for the challenge here. Play the Mavs -7! |
|||||||
01-17-21 | CS Bakersfield +2 v. Hawaii | Top | 83-72 | Win | 100 | 15 h 9 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on CS Bakersfield +2 -109 CS Bakersfield (+2) is worth a look here as a small dog against Hawaii in Saturday's rematch. These two teams played last night and the Roadrunners took home the win 60-55. That's now 4 straight wins for Bakersfield. Rainbow Warriors couldn't get anything going offensively last night and I don't expect it to be any better in the second go around. If anything I think the Roadrunners win even easier in the rematch. Play CS Bakersfield +2! |
|||||||
01-16-21 | CS Bakersfield v. Hawaii -1.5 | 60-55 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Hawaii -1½ -110 The Rainbow Warriors (-1.5) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against CS-Bakersfield in Friday's late night action on the college hardwood. Hawaii has only played 4 games and while the first two were cupcakes, they did show well in their two games at UC-Riverside. They won the first matchup 88-83 as a 6-point dog and while they lost the rematch they covered as a 5-point dog in a 68-70 loss. Big home court edge for Hawaii and I fully expect them to take this one. Play the Rainbow Warriors -1.5! |
|||||||
01-16-21 | CS Bakersfield v. Hawaii UNDER 135.5 | Top | 60-55 | Win | 100 | 24 h 5 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on CS Bakersfield vs Hawaii under 135½ -109 The UNDER (135.5) is worth a look in Friday's late night Big West action between Hawaii and CS-Bakersfield. Hawaii comes in averaging 82 ppg, but that's a misleading number given their first two games against far inferior opponents. They will find it much harder to score here against CS-Bakersfield, who is allowing just 61.1 ppg. At the same time, I don't see the Roadrunners putting up a big number on the road here against a decent Hawaii defense. Play the UNDER 135.5! |
|||||||
01-15-21 | Clippers v. Kings UNDER 230.5 | 138-100 | Loss | -100 | 31 h 37 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Clippers vs Kings under 230½ +101 The UNDER (230.5) is worth a look in Friday's NBA action between the Clippers and Kings. I believe we are seeing an inflated number here due to the fact that the OVER has cashed in 5 of Sacramento's last 6 games. I just don't think we are going to see a ton of points in this matchup. LA was much better defensively in their last game against the Pelicans and I could see them making it really hard on the Kings offense in this one. Play the UNDER 230.5! |
|||||||
01-15-21 | Clippers -6.5 v. Kings | 138-100 | Win | 100 | 31 h 37 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -6½ -105 The Clippers (-6.5) are worth a look as a road favorite against the Kings in Friday's NBA action. While LA has failed to cover each of their last 3 games, I think that's playing into the favorable number here. The biggest thing is the Kings are not playing well at all. Sacramento is just 2-6 SU in their last 8 games and have gone a dreadful 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games and that's with them playing their last 5 games at home. Play the Clippers -6.5! |
|||||||
01-15-21 | Hawks v. Jazz -6 | Top | 92-116 | Win | 100 | 30 h 45 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -6 -105 The Jazz (-6) are worth a look as a relatively cheap home favorite against the Hawks. Atlanta has really fallen off since their hot start and while they come in off a win at home against the 76ers, that was a depleted Philadelphia team they took down. Not to mention they shot just 37.4% from the field in the win, marking their 3rd straight game where they shot worse than 38%. Utah on the other hand is rolling. The Jazz have have won and covered 3 straight and are getting it done on both sides of the ball. Play Utah -6! |
|||||||
01-13-21 | Pelicans v. Clippers -6 | Top | 106-111 | Loss | -105 | 31 h 44 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -6 -105 The Clippers (-6) are worth a look here as a home favorite against the Pelicans in Wednesday's NBA action. While LA has been hit or miss here of late, I'm confident the Clippers will show up with a big effort here in a game that will be televised on ESPN. You also have to look at how New Orleans is playing right now and it's not good. Pelicans have lost 3 straight and are a disappointing 4-5 overall. We know they will be without starting point guard Lonzo Ball and there's a chance they could be without both starters in the backcourt, as shooting guard Eric Bledsoe is questionable to play. Play the Clippers -6! |
|||||||
01-13-21 | Nets v. Knicks +5 | 116-109 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 24 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Knicks +5 -105 The Knicks (+5) are worth a look as a home dog against the Nets in Wednesday's NBA action. As difficult as it may be to back New York after their last 3 games, where they got absolutely destroyed and failed to break 90 points in all 3 games, I'm confident the Knicks will be ready for this game against one of their biggest rivals. As for Brooklyn they have not been playing great. While they come in off a win over the Nuggets they will be on no rest and still without 2 of their best players in Kyrie Irving and Spencer Dinwiddie. Play the Knicks +5! |
|||||||
01-12-21 | Spurs v. Thunder +2 | 112-102 | Loss | -103 | 26 h 16 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Thunder +2 -103 The Thunder (+2) are worth a look as a small home dog against the Spurs in Tuesday's NBA action. This is just too good a price to pass up with Oklahoma City right now. The Thunder have won and covered each of their last 3 games, winning all 3 outright as a dog. Spurs are also in a tough spot here. San Antonio is going to be without their best player in DeRozan and are also playing their 5th and final game of a 5-game road trip. Play the Thunder +2! |
|||||||
01-12-21 | Spurs v. Thunder OVER 216 | Top | 112-102 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 2 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Spurs vs Thunder over 216 -105 The OVER (216) is worth a look in Tuesday's NBA action between the Spurs and Thunder. I believe we are catching value with the number here due to the fact that San Antonio comes in off a dreadfully low-scoring game against the Timberwolves, which Minnesota won 96-88. Big thing to note is that was a rematch from the day before and the two had combined for 247 points in the first meeting. OKC just put up 129 in their last game at Brooklyn and likely aren't going to be playing much defense in a big flat spot as they just finished up a 5-game road trip. OVER is 13-1 in the Spurs last 14 road game with a line of +3 to -3. Play the OVER 216! |
|||||||
01-12-21 | Miami-FL -2 v. Boston College | 62-84 | Loss | -105 | 26 h 26 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Miami-FL -2 -105 The Hurricanes (-2) are worth a look as a small road favorite against Boston College in Tuesday's ACC action on the college hardwood. Miami comes in at 5-5, but injuries really hurt them early on. The Hurricanes have been playing much better of late, despite a 1-3 record in their last 4 games. The 3 losses in this stretch were a 2-point setback at Va Tech, a 1-point loss at home to Clemson and a 2-point loss at home to UNC. They snapped the losing streak on Saturday with a 64-59 upset win at NC State. Look for Miami to stay hot against a BC team that just can't figure out how to win games. The Eagles are just 2-9 and 0-5 in ACC play. Play the Hurricanes -2! |
|||||||
01-12-21 | Wisconsin v. Michigan OVER 135 | Top | 54-77 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 36 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Wisconsin vs Michigan over 135 -105 The OVER (135) is worth a look in Tuesday's Big Ten showdown between Wisconsin and Michigan. While these are two of the better defensive teams in the Big Ten, they are also two of the best offensive teams. Both come in ranked in the top 5 of the conference in both offensive efficiency and effective FG%. OVER is a perfect 6-0 in Wisconsin's last 6 games vs elite level teams like Michigan who are shooting 45% or better from the field while also holding opponents to 42% or worse. Play the OVER 135! |
|||||||
01-11-21 | Pacers v. Kings +4 | 122-127 | Win | 100 | 30 h 20 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Kings +4 -100 The Kings (+4) are worth a look here as a home dog against the Pacers. Most will look to fade Sacramento here as they are just 1-5 SU in their last 6 and have failed to cover 5 straight. Thing is the Kings are catching the Pacers at the right time. Indiana has benefited a ton from playing 7 of their first 9 games at home. Look for them to come out a bit flat here in their first game on a West Coast trip. Play the Kings +4! |
|||||||
01-11-21 | Knicks v. Hornets -4 | Top | 88-109 | Win | 100 | 27 h 20 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Hornets -4 -105 The Hornets (-4) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Knicks. While these two teams come into this game with the same 5-5 record, but they are headed in different directions. Charlotte has won and covered 3 straight and are averaging 111.0 ppg in this stretch. The Knicks have lost and failed to cover each of their last 2 and scored a mere 89 points in both games. I'll take the better team at this price all day long. Play the Hornets -4! |
|||||||
01-11-21 | Colorado v. Utah +3.5 | Top | 65-58 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 38 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Utah +3½ -110 The Utes (+3.5) are worth a look as small home dog against the Buffaloes. The books are begging you to take Colorado here. Utah comes in having lost 3 straight and are just 1-3 in Pac-12 play. Thing is two of those losses came on the road to UCLA and USC. The other was a mere 6-point home loss to Oregon. Utah is going to be the much more motivated team here at home in desperate need of a win, while the Buffs could be in for a bit of a letdown off their big win over the Ducks. Play Utah +3.5! |
|||||||
01-10-21 | Indiana v. Nebraska +7 | Top | 84-76 | Loss | -108 | 24 h 51 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Nebraska +7 -108 Nebraska (+7) is worth a look here as a near double-digit home dog against the Hoosiers. It's been a rough go for the Cornhuskers in Big Ten play. Nebraska is winless in conference play at 0-4, but they did just cover at home against Michigan State and while they didn't cover in losses at Wisconsin and at home against Michigan, they were right there in both games. They lost by 14 as a 13.5-point dog at Wisconsin and by just 11 at home to Michigan as a 7.5-point dog. This is also a tough spot for Indiana playing their second straight on the road and playing on just two days of rest after that grueling double-overtime loss at Wisconsin. Play Nebraska +7! |
|||||||
01-10-21 | Bulls +11.5 v. Clippers | 127-130 | Win | 100 | 25 h 37 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Bulls +11½ -101 The Bulls (+11.5) are worth a look as a double-digit dog against the Clippers in Sunday's NBA action. The books just don't want to give this Chicago team any kind of respect and it's turned them into a covering machine. The Bulls have covered the number in each of their last 4 games and 7 of their last 8 overall. This team is clearly playing with a chip on their shoulder. As for the Clippers, they have kind of just been going through the motions early on and I could see them struggling to get up for this one. Play the Bulls +11.5! |
|||||||
01-10-21 | Jazz v. Pistons +7.5 | Top | 96-86 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 37 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +7½ -105 The Pistons (+7.5) are worth a look here as a pretty sizeable home dog against the Jazz. Detroit just pulled off a big upset win at home in their last game, beating the Suns 110-105 as a 8-point dog. It was the Pistons 4th cover in their last 5 games. Utah comes in off a huge upset win at Milwaukee, but with the Jazz on just 1 day of rest and playing their 5th straight on the road, I look for them to struggle to muster up the energy needed to turn this into a blowout. Look for Detroit to keep it close and maybe pull off the upset. Play the Pistons +7.5! |
|||||||
01-09-21 | Suns v. Pacers -2.5 | Top | 125-117 | Loss | -109 | 28 h 42 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers -2½ -109 The Pacers (-2.5) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Suns in Saturday's NBA action. For whatever reason the books just don't want to give this Indiana team the respect they deserve. Pacers are 6-2 SU and 6-2 ATS in their first 8 games They couldn't be catching Phoenix in a better spot, as the Suns will be playing their second straight on the road on no rest after last night's OT loss at Detroit. While Phoenix will be running on fumes, the Pacers are playing on two days rest and have had to do almost no traveling early, as this is their 6th home game in their last 7 contests. Play Indiana -2.5! |
|||||||
01-09-21 | Northern Illinois v. Miami-OH -7 | 58-70 | Win | 100 | 20 h 41 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Miami-OH -7 -108 The RedHawks (-7) should have no problem covering as a decently priced home favorite against Northern Illinois in Saturday's college hoops action out of the MAC. Big get right game for Miami (OH) coming off back-to-back losses and the Huskies are just the team for them to get right against. Northern Illinois is a mere 1-8 on the season and that lone win came against an awful Chicago State team that is ranked No. 356 in KenPom. Play the RedHawks -7! |
|||||||
01-09-21 | Richmond -5 v. George Mason | 77-57 | Win | 100 | 19 h 41 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Richmond -5 -108 The Spiders (-5) are worth a look as a short road favorite against George Mason in Saturday's early college hoops action out of the A-10. Richmond has yet to string together back-to-back wins in conference play and you can bet that's going to be on their minds, as they look to build off Wednesday's big win at home over Rhode Island. The Patriots are just not on the same level as the Spiders and I really think they will struggle to even make a game of it. Richmond can play their "C" game and still beat George Mason by 6 or more. Play the Spiders -5! |
|||||||
01-09-21 | Ohio State v. Rutgers -2.5 | Top | 79-68 | Loss | -108 | 19 h 41 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Rutgers -2½ -108 Rutgers (-2.5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against Ohio State in Saturday's early college hoops action out of the Big Ten. This is just too good a price to pass up with the Scarlet Knights at home. Even more so when you factor in how motivated Rutgers is going to be for this game coming off back-to-back losses dropping them to just 3-3 in Big Ten play after they started out 3-1. Ohio State is better than expected, but are just 2-3 in conference play with a 0-3 mark on the road. Buckeyes just aren't built to win away from home in this league, especially against a top tier team like the Scarlet Knights. Play Rutgers -2.5! |
|||||||
01-08-21 | Rice v. UTEP OVER 140.5 | 89-101 | Win | 100 | 30 h 48 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Rice vs UTEP over 140½ -105 The OVER (140.5) is worth a look in Friday's C-USA matchup between Rice and UTEP. This is a really low total with the way these two teams can light up the scoreboard. Rice is averaging 82.3 ppg and while UTEP is scoring 75.5 ppg on the season, they are putting up 87.7 ppg at home. We just need both teams to hit 70 and this thing is going to cash. Play the OVER 140.5! |
|||||||
01-08-21 | Hornets +6 v. Pelicans | 118-110 | Win | 100 | 28 h 13 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Hornets +6 -100 Charlotte (+6) is worth a look as a road dog against the Pelicans in Friday's NBA action. The Hornets will be riding a wave of momentum into this game, as they snapped a 3-game skid with a convincing 102-94 win at Atlanta as a 5.5-point dog. On the flip side, New Orleans is coming off back-to-back losses and have really been overvalued by the books early on. The Pelicans are just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games. They are also just 1-3 ATS at home this season. Play the Hornets +6! |
|||||||
01-08-21 | Suns v. Pistons +7 | Top | 105-110 | Win | 100 | 28 h 46 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +7 -100 The Pistons (+7) are worth a look as a home dog against the Suns in Friday's NBA action. Really look for Phoenix to struggle to get up for this game against a Detroit team that is just 1-7 on the season. Making it even harder to get up for the Pistons is the fact that this is the first of a back-to-back for the Suns with a much bigger game on deck against a red-hot Pacers team. Pistons are getting healthy for this one with Rose and Josh Jackson expected back. They might not have what it takes to win, but I fully expect them to give Phoenix a run for their money. Play Detroit +7! |
|||||||
01-08-21 | Florida Atlantic v. Old Dominion OVER 139 | Top | 67-71 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 50 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Florida Atlantic vs Old Dominion over 139 -105 The OVER (139) is worth a look in Friday's C-USA matchup between Old Dominion and Florida Atlantic. This is a really low total for a game involving the Owls, who come in averaging a healthy 84.9 ppg. While not quite as potent, the Monarchs average a solid 71.0 ppg and that jumps up to 76.3 ppg at home. Last year when these two teams met up at ODU, the two combined for 165 points with both teams hitting 80 points. Play the OVER 139! |
|||||||
01-07-21 | Wolves v. Blazers -10 | 117-135 | Win | 100 | 30 h 7 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Blazers -10 -105 The Blazers (-10) are worth a look as a double-digit home favorite against the Timberwolves in Thursday's NBA action. Good spot here to back Portland. Blazers come in having lost 2 straight and 3 of their last 4. The most recent being a 108-111 loss at home to the Bulls as a 9.5-point favorite. We should get a max effort here from Portland and that should be more than enough for them to make easy work of an awful Timberwolves team that continues to struggle to be competitive without Karl Anthony-Towns. Play the Blazers -10! |
|||||||
01-07-21 | 76ers -2 v. Nets | Top | 109-122 | Loss | -106 | 28 h 39 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on 76ers -2 -106 The 76ers (-2) are worth a look as a small road favorite against the Nets on Thursday. Philadelphia will be playing in the second game of a back-to-back, but that's not as big of a setback as Brooklyn playing without Kevin Durant. 76ers are also 7-1 to start the season and have covered 4 of their last 5. This line should be more. Play Philadelphia -2! |
|||||||
01-07-21 | Iowa v. Maryland +5 | Top | 89-67 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 38 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Maryland +5 -110 Maryland (+5) is worth a look here as a decently priced home dog against Iowa in Thursday's Big Ten matchup. As good as the Hawkeyes have been, winning on the road in this conference is no easy task. It's not an ideal spot for Iowa coming off a huge road win against a ranked Rutgers team. Hawkeyes could also be without starter Connor McCaffery. While McCaffery doesn't score a lot, he does all the dirty work and is by far the Hawks best post passer. Look for the Terps to give Iowa all they can handle in this one. Play Maryland +5! |
|||||||
01-06-21 | Thunder v. Pelicans OVER 213.5 | Top | 111-110 | Win | 104 | 28 h 26 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Thunder vs Pelicans over 213½ +104 The OVER (213.5) is worth a look in Wednesday's NBA action that has the Pelicans hosting the Thunder. After a slow start New Orleans has got their offense going in their last 3 games, scoring 113 at OKC, 120 at home against the Raptors and 116 at home against the Pacers. Thunder have allowed 110 or more in 4 of their last 5. With the Pelicans defense not figuring to be as stingy coming off an OT game on Monday, this one should easily eclipse the mark.

01-06-21 | Wizards +6 v. 76ers | 136-141 | Win | 100 | 27 h 2 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Wizards +6 -102 The Wizards (+6) are worth a look as a road dog against the 76ers in Wednesday's NBA action. Philadelphia comes in having won and covered each of their last 4 games, but this is a really bad spot for the 76ers in the front end of a back-to-back with a much better team on deck in the Nets. Washington has also been playing much better of late. Wizards have won their last two after starting out 0-5 and both of those came on the road, including a 123-122 win at Brooklyn as a 7-point dog. Play Washington +6! |

01-05-21 | Missouri v. Mississippi State OVER 134.5 | 63-78 | Win | 100 | 28 h 7 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Missouri vs Mississippi State over 134½ -110 The OVER (134.5) is worth a look in Tuesday's college hoops matchup between SEC foes Missouri and Mississippi State. While the Bulldogs like to play slow, the Tigers want to push the pace and I expect Missouri to be able to dictate the tempo here with Mississippi State likely a bit fatigued off their double-overtime game against Kentucky on Saturday. Expect a bit more of a shootout than we normally would see from these two teams. Play the OVER 134.5! |

01-05-21 | Connecticut v. Marquette UNDER 139 | Top | 65-54 | Win | 100 | 29 h 23 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Connecticut vs Marquette under 139 -110 The UNDER (139) is worth a look in Tuesday's Big East showdown that has Connecticut visiting Marquette. This is just too big a number with what figures to be a very slow and methodical pace. The Huskies come in ranked 310th in adjusted tempo and in their two Big East games so far have held a lethal Creighton team to 66 in regulation and limited DePaul to 61. I don't see either team getting to 70 in this one. Play the UNDER 139! |

01-05-21 | Jazz v. Nets UNDER 231.5 | 96-130 | Win | 100 | 27 h 32 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Jazz vs Nets under 231½ -104 The UNDER (231.5) is worth a look here in Tuesday's NBA matchup between the Jazz and Nets. Brooklyn is potentially going to be without Kevin Durant. Without him on the floor it's going to be really hard for these two teams to eclipse a number like this. Both of these teams are strong defensively as well. Utah has held opponents to 43.4% shooting from the field and Brooklyn is even better, holding teams to 42.5%. Play the UNDER 231.5! |
|||||||
01-05-21 | Jazz v. Nets -2 | Top | 96-130 | Win | 100 | 27 h 2 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Nets -2 -102 The Nets (-2) are worth a look at home against the Jazz. There's a chance Brooklyn will be without KD, as he's potentially facing a 7-day quarantine for Covid exposure, but even without him I like the Nets to win and cover against Utah. The Nets are going to come out fired up after losing 4 of their last 5 and are catching the Jazz in a tough spot playing their second road game in 3 days after playing at SA on Sunday. Utah is just 12-31 ATS last 43 games on the road vs top tier teams that are shooting 46% or better from the field, while also holding opponents to 43% or worse from the field. Play the Nets -2! |
|||||||
01-04-21 | Kings v. Warriors +2.5 | 106-137 | Win | 100 | 30 h 25 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Warriors +2½ -105 The Warriors (+2.5) are worth a look as a small home dog against the Kings. Golden State will be on no rest after playing the Blazers last night, but I still like them at this price. Steph Curry scored a career-high 62 in the win over Portland Sunday and he's playing with a chip on his shoulder right now as people are bashing him for the Warriors slow start. Thing is, Golden State is 3-3, but two of those losses were on the road against two of the best teams in the East in the Nets and Bucks without one of their best players in Draymond Green. Kings are a decent team, but have lost 3 of 4 and simply should not be favored on the road in this one. Play the Warriors +2.5! |
|||||||
01-04-21 | West Virginia v. Oklahoma State | Top | 87-84 | Win | 100 | 30 h 47 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on West Virginia PK -110 The Mountaineers (PK) are worth a look here as a pick'em on the road against Oklahoma State. West Virginia is one of the best teams in the country. They are 8-3 with their 3 losses coming against Gonzaga, Kansas and Oklahoma. The most recent was against the Sooners. They just dug themselves too big a hole early, falling behind 38-20 at the half. They rallied but just didn't have enough in the tank, losing 71-75. Expect a much better start in this game. Also, bit of a letdown spot for Oklahoma State coming off a huge upset win on the road in OT against Texas Tech. Play West Virginia PK! |
|||||||
01-04-21 | Pacers +1.5 v. Pelicans | 118-116 | Win | 100 | 23 h 50 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Pacers +1½ -105 The Pacers (+1.5) are worth a look as basically a pick'em on the road against the Pelicans. Indiana is coming off a shocking 102-106 loss at home to the Knicks as a 10-point favorite, but some of that was just them not showing up against a bad team. That outcome only makes me like them more here, as this is one of the best teams noone is talking about. The Pelicans are a good team, but a bit overvalued in my mind. Play the Pacers +1.5! |
|||||||
01-04-21 | Knicks v. Hawks -6 | Top | 113-108 | Loss | -100 | 28 h 55 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks -6 -100 Atlanta (-6) is worth a look as they host the Knicks in Monday's NBA action. The Hawks are showing value here coming off an ugly 91-96 loss to the Cavs on Saturday. While that's a game Atlanta probably should have won, them not producing at their normal level shouldn't have come as a surprise. That was an awful spot for the Hawks playing on no rest after laying it all on the line for a second straight game against the Nets. The Knicks are 3-3 to start the year, which is a bit of a surprise, but also nothing to overreact to. The talent simply isn't there. Look for Atlanta to rebound and win here with relative ease. Play the Hawks -6! |
|||||||
01-03-21 | Clippers v. Suns UNDER 217.5 | 112-107 | Loss | -102 | 29 h 39 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Clippers vs Suns under 217½ -102 The UNDER (217.5) is worth a look in Sunday's NBA matchup between the Suns and Clippers. Phoenix has really been playing well on the defensive side of the ball. The Suns come in allowing just 98.7 ppg and that number goes down to 94 ppg at home. Clippers are coming off a game against Utah where they scored just 100 points on 39% shooting. LA is giving up 108.8 ppg, but can be dominant defensively when they want and I think they show up on that side off a loss. Play the UNDER 217.5! |
|||||||
01-03-21 | Lakers v. Grizzlies +11 | Top | 108-94 | Loss | -109 | 27 h 42 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies +11 -109 The Grizzlies (+11) are worth a look as a double-digit dog against the Lakers. Memphis showed they aren't going to just lay down after losing star point guard Ja Morant to an injury, as they just went on the road and blasted the Hornets 108-93 in their last game. The Lakers have won 4 of 5 and are just so much better than a lot of the teams they play. This just feels like one of those games where they just go through the motions for 3 quarters and try to pull out a win late. Play the Grizzlies +11! |
|||||||
01-02-21 | Raptors v. Pelicans UNDER 213.5 | 116-120 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 50 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Raptors vs Pelicans under 213½ -105 The UNDER (213.5) is worth a look in Saturday's NBA action between the Pelicans and Raptors. I think a lot of people thought this New Orleans team was going to be one of the better offensive teams now that there were no minute restrictions on Zion, but that just hasn't been the case. The Pelicans are only averaging 101.6 ppg. They are however playing great defense, giving up just 99.2 ppg. Raptors are having similar struggles offensively, as they are at 101.5 ppg. They are only giving up 103.7 ppg. These two also have already played once, so both will know what to expect on the defensive side of things. Play the UNDER 213.5! |
|||||||
01-02-21 | Kings +4.5 v. Rockets | Top | 94-102 | Loss | -100 | 25 h 25 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Kings +4½ -100 The Kings (+4.5) is worth a look in Saturday's NBA action that has them playing at Houston for the second consecutive game. Sacramento came up painfully short in a 3-point loss on Thursday, but I like them to not only come back and cover in the rematch, but win this game outright. Rockets are still learning how to play together with all the new pieces and they just don't play enough defense to be trusted. Play the Kings +4.5! |
|||||||
01-01-21 | Blazers -4 v. Warriors | Top | 123-98 | Win | 100 | 31 h 16 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers -4 -110 The Blazers (-4) are worth a look here as a relatively small road favorite against the Warriors. Even with Draymond Green set to play for Golden State, this is just not a good team right now. They simply aren't shooting the ball well from behind the 3-point line. That includes Steph Curry. Wiggins and Oubre Jr are jacking it up all over the place and not producing. Wiggins is shooting 36.8% from the field and Oubre is a pathetic 26% from the field. Portland just has too much fire-power with Lillard and McCollum. Play the Blazers -4! |
|||||||
01-01-21 | Grizzlies v. Hornets OVER 219.5 | 108-93 | Loss | -104 | 27 h 56 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies vs Hornets over 219½ -104 The OVER (219.5) is worth a look here in Friday's NBA action between the Hornets and Grizzlies. Memphis just doesn't have a lot to work with with all the guys they have out right now with injuries. Even when they were somewhat healthy they were lacking on the defensive end. The Hornets should be able to name the score here and I think they easily get into the 120's. Grizzlies should at least score 100, as they have hit at least 107 in every game so far this season. Play the OVER 219.5! |
|||||||
01-01-21 | St. Peter's -5.5 v. Canisius | Top | 58-70 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 45 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on St. Peter's -5½ -105 St. Peter's (-5.5) is worth a look in Friday's MAAC matchup at Canisius. The Peacocks are hands down the better team in this one and winning by 6 here won't be a problem. The Golden Griffins are just 1-3 on the season and have lost 3 straight. The two most recent being a 18 point and 28 point loss to Monmouth, who is rated worse than the Peacocks at KenPom. Play St. Peter's -5.5! |
|||||||
12-31-20 | Pelicans -4.5 v. Thunder | 113-80 | Win | 100 | 29 h 41 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Pelicans -4½ -110 The Pelicans (-4.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against the Thunder. New Orleans is just 2-2, but have played a really tough schedule to start out the season. They have played 3 of their first 4 on the road against the Raptors, Heat and Suns and hosted the Spurs. OKC will easily be the worst team they have faced so far and I just don't see them losing this game and 4.5 isn't a big number to cover. Play the Pelicans -4.5! |
|||||||
12-31-20 | 76ers -2.5 v. Magic | Top | 116-92 | Win | 100 | 27 h 14 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on 76ers -2½ -105 The 76ers (-2.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against the Magic on Thursday. Orlando has started out 4-0 and are starting to get some buzz, but let's not overreact. The Magic beat the Heat in their opener, but the other 3 wins are against sub-par teams with two coming against an awful Wizards team. 76ers have won 3 of 4 and are just the better team and this is a great price to back them here. Play Philadelphia -2.5! |
|||||||
12-31-20 | San Diego +14 v. San Francisco | Top | 62-70 | Win | 100 | 26 h 39 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on San Diego +14 -105 The Toreros (+14) are worth a look here as a double-digit dog against San Francisco. San Diego comes into this game at 1-3, while the Dons are 6-4. I just feel it has SF laying a few more than they should be against a conference foe. Not to mention the Dons are in a massive lookahead spot with a trip to No. 1 Gonzaga on deck Saturday. Play San Diego +14! |
|||||||
12-30-20 | Hawks v. Nets -6.5 | Top | 141-145 | Loss | -100 | 28 h 25 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Nets -6½ +102 The Nets (-6.5) are worth a look in Wednesday's NBA action that has Brooklyn hosting the Hawks. While Atlanta has been impressive in their 3-0 start, their 3 wins have come against the Bulls, Grizzlies and Pistons. The fact that the Hawks are undefeated and that the Nets have lost their last two games, pretty much guarantees we get a max effort from Brooklyn in this one. I just don't think the Hawks will be able to keep pace, as this Nets team can really lock you down defensively when they are engaged. Play the Nets -6.5! |
|||||||
12-30-20 | George Mason v. Massachusetts OVER 150.5 | Top | 93-92 | Win | 100 | 27 h 43 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on George Mason vs Massachusetts over 150½ -105 The OVER (150.5) is worth a look here in Wednesday's hoops action between UMass and George Mason. It's not secret that the Minutemen want to play an up-tempo game and we have seen it in their 4 games so far this season. All 4 games have seen a combined score of at least 151 points. George Mason will be the best team they have played so far. I got both teams easily hitting 75 points in this one. Play the OVER 150.5! |
|||||||
12-30-20 | Butler +6 v. Providence | 55-71 | Loss | -115 | 25 h 22 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Butler +6 -115 Butler (+6) is worth a look in Wednesday's college hoops action. These two teams played last Wednesday at Butler and the Bulldogs won that matchup 70-64. I'm not saying Butler will pull of the sweep and win this one too, but I just can't pass up on the 6-points with the Bulldogs in this one. There's a chance Butler could be even stronger for the rematch, as Aaron Thompson, one of their best players, is questionable to return after missing the last 3 games. Play the Bulldogs +6! |
|||||||
12-29-20 | Bulls v. Wizards -4 | Top | 115-107 | Loss | -112 | 29 h 52 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Wizards -4 -112 The Wizards (-4) are worth a look as a small home favorite against the Bulls. I'm not sure why Washington isn't favored by more in this matchup. While both teams are 0-3 to start the season, Wizards have been much more competitive in their defeats. Not to mention all 3 of the Bulls losses came on their home floor. Chicago just doesn't play enough defense to be taken seriously on the road against any team. Play Washington -4! |
|||||||
12-29-20 | Wofford v. Mercer -2 | 78-65 | Loss | -111 | 29 h 32 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Mercer -2 -111 Mercer (-2) is worth a look as a slim home favorite against Wofford in Tuesday's college hoops action. The Bears have been impressive early on. Mercer is 7-1 with their only loss coming by single digits on the road to a good Georgia State team. Wofford has lost 3 of their last 4 and have just one win vs a D-I opponent and that was against a sub-par Coastal Carolina team. Play Mercer -2! |
|||||||
12-28-20 | Rockets +8.5 v. Nuggets | 111-124 | Loss | -110 | 30 h 55 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Rockets +8½ -110 The Rockets (+8.5) are worth a look here as a big road dog against the Nuggets. I just think there's a ton of value with Houston because of all the guys they are missing due to Covid. They still got Harden and a good enough supporting cast to be competitive against most teams. We saw that in their opener when they lost by just 2-points at Portland as a 7.5-point dog. Denver is also a team I think is a bit overvalued coming into the year because of their deep bubble run. We already saw the Nuggets lose outright as a 8-point favorite at home to the Kings and by 13 as a mere 4-point dog at home to the Clippers. Play the Rockets +8.5! |
|||||||
12-28-20 | Michigan State v. Minnesota +1.5 | Top | 56-81 | Win | 100 | 28 h 5 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Minnesota +1½ -110 The Gophers (+1.5) are worth a look here as a home dog against the Spartans. I get Michigan State is 0-2 and are desperate for a win, but they are 0-2 for a reason and it's extremely tough to win on the road in the Big Ten, especially when you play as little defense as what the Spartans have played so far in conference action. Minnesota just pulled off a big home upset against an elite Iowa team and I think they ride that momentum to a win here. Play Minnesota +1.5! |
|||||||
12-28-20 | Pistons +8.5 v. Hawks | Top | 120-128 | Win | 100 | 28 h 25 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +8½ -110 The Pistons (+8.5) are worth a look here as a big road dog against the Hawks. The betting public is going to see that Detroit is going to be sitting out both Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose and run to the ticket window to lay the big number with Atlanta, but the books know this. Pistons aren't just going to lay down and the Hawks are primed for a letdown in this spot. Atlanta will have a hard time taking this game seriously with Griffin and Rose out and they got two big games at Brooklyn on deck Wednesday and Friday. Play Detroit +8.5! |
|||||||
12-27-20 | 76ers -6 v. Cavs | 94-118 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 22 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on 76ers -6 -105 The 76ers (-6) are worth a look here as a mere 6-point road favorite against the Cavs. Philadelphia beat the Wizards 113-107 in their opener and destroyed the Knicks 109-89 on Saturday. No reason not to think the 76ers won't make easy work of another sub-par team in Cleveland. While both teams will be playing on no rest, the Cavs are at a much bigger disadvantage as their game yesterday with Detroit went to double-overtime. All 5 starters for Cleveland logged at least 38 minutes with 4 playing 42 or more. Just won't be enough gas in the tank for the Cavs to keep this competitive. Play the 76ers -6! |

12-27-20 | Spurs v. Pelicans -5 | Top | 95-98 | Loss | -105 | 28 h 55 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Pelicans -5 -105 New Orleans (-5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Spurs. This Pelicans team should be a big factor in the Western Conference this year with a healthy Zion Williamson. New Orleans got the season started off with a big 113-99 win at Toronto as a 4-point dog, but lost on Christmas Day to a really good Miami team on the road. Pelicans finally get to play at home and should take care of a Spurs team that has looked good, but are playing their 3rd game in 5 days and second of back-to-back. Play New Orleans -5! |
|||||||
12-27-20 | Missouri State v. Northern Iowa -8 | Top | 79-59 | Loss | -108 | 26 h 42 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Northern Iowa -8 -108 Northern Iowa (-8) is worth a look in Sunday's Missouri Valley action that has the Panthers hosting Missouri State. UNI has gotten off to a disappointing 1-4 start, but a big reason for that is their schedule was brutal to start the year. All 4 losses have come against teams who could be playing in the NCAA Tournament in WKU, St. Mary's, Utah St and Richmond. They were competitive in all 4 losses. The Bears are 3-0, but have played nobody and are really outclassed in this one. A motivated and desperate UNI team should have no problem here winning by double-digits. Play the Panthers -8! |

12-26-20 | Cavs v. Pistons -2 | Top | 128-119 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 29 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons -2 -105 The Pistons (-2) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Cavs. I just think this is a great price to back Detroit and the perfect spot to fade Cleveland off their opening win over what figures to be an awful Charlotte team. Pistons outshot the T-Wolves in their opener, but Minnesota made 24 free throws to the Pistons 3. That won't happen again here. Play Detroit -2! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Cleveland State -1 -108 Cleveland State (-1) is worth a look here as basically a pick'em at home against Youngstown State. The Vikings got off to a slow start, as they lost their first 3 games, but those were against two quality MAC teams in Toledo and Ohio and a much better Ohio State, who they took to the wire in a mere 6-point loss. They have since won back-to-back games over Fort Wayne and they stay hot here against the Penguins. Play Cleveland State -1! |

15* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -9½ +101 Milwaukee (-9.5) is worth a look as a big home favorite against the Warriors on Christmas Day. I know this might seem like a lot of points for the Bucks to be laying, but they really should win here by double-digits rather easily. We know we are going to get a big effort from Milwaukee after losing their opener and while Golden State also figures to play hard, they just don't have the talent to compete, especially without Draymond Green. They lost to the Nets by 26 and it could have been much worse. Play the Bucks -9.5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Wisconsin -1½ -110 The Badgers (-1.5) are worth a look as a small road favorite against the Spartans. I just think the line here says it all. Even after getting blown out at Northwestern in their Big Ten opener, the betting public is going to be all over Michigan State as a home dog. I'll gladly take the other side and take my chances with a very good Wisconsin team that is built to win on the road in Big Ten play. Play the Badgers -1.5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Pelicans +5 -100 The Pelicans (+5) are worth a look in the first of 5 NBA games on Christmas Day. There's plenty of hype with New Orleans this year with Zion Williamson a full go from the start, but clearly they still got some work to do to get some respect from the books. Part of it here is they are facing the reigning Eastern Conference champs in Miami. That's just it, the Heat just played in the Finals what seems like yesterday. They looked a little flat in their opening loss to the Magic and it could take a minute before they get back to playing like they did in the postseason. Pelicans are the more hungry team right now. Play New Orleans +5! |

15* SHARP PLAY on South Florida -2½ -108 USF (-2.5) is worth a look here as a slim home favorite against the Shockers. This is just not the same Wichita State team as the previous years and I just feel they are still getting a little too much respect from the books. I like what I've seen out of this Bulls team. South Florida has won 4 straight and just beat Cincinnati on the road in their last game. This is just too good a price to pass up. Play the Bulls -2.5! |

15* SHARP PLAY on Ball State -5 -108 Ball State (-5) is worth a look here as a short road favorite against Western Michigan. I believe we are getting the Cardinals at a discount here due to them coming off a 10-point loss at Indiana State. This is just not a very good Broncos team this season. They did win their conference opener against Central Michigan, but they are way down. That's their only win against a D-I opponent. Look for Ball State to make easy work here. Play the Cardinals -5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on William & Mary vs Virginia under 123½ -110 The UNDER (123.5) is worth a look in Tuesday's college hoops matchup between Virginia and William & Mary. Low-scoring games is the way of life for this Virginia team and this year is no different. The Cavaliers come into this game ranked 5th in adjusted defensive efficiency and 357th in adjusted tempo. William & Mary ranks 288th in tempo, so this game will be played at a snail's pace. Play the UNDER 123.5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Western Illinois +5½ -115 The Leathernecks (+5.5) are worth a look here as a slim dog against Tennessee Martin. Western Illinois is 1-4, but have played a really tough schedule. As for the Skyhawks, they are 3-0 but have played one of the easiest schedules. They could also be 1-2, as they needed double-overtime to win at home against Evansville and snuck out a 2-point win over SE Missouri State. I'm not so sure this line shouldn't be closer to a pick'em. Play Western Illinois +5.5! |

15* SHARP PLAY on Oklahoma State +8½ -110 Oklahoma State (+8.5) is worth a look in Sunday's Big 12 matchup at Texas. I just think this is a few too many points for the Longhorns to be laying in this one. Oklahoma State had started out 6-0 before losing at home to TCU. Sure the loss looks bad, as it was a game they were expected to win, but they did lose by just 1-point. They got the offensive fire-power to hang with Texas and even win this game outright. Play Oklahoma State +8.5! |

12-19-20 | Gonzaga v. Iowa OVER 170.5 | Top | 99-88 | Win | 100 | 17 h 53 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Gonzaga vs Iowa over 170½ -120 The OVER (170.5) is worth a look in Saturday's highly anticipated showdown between Iowa and Gonzaga. You don't see many totals in the 170s in college basketball, but I still don't think it's enough. These are the two best offensive teams in the country. They can both score inside and outside and aren't exactly the best defensive teams. We have seen Kansas score 90 on Gonzaga and Iowa is mediocre at best defensively. Don't overthink this one. Play the OVER 170.5! |

12-18-20 | Chicago State v. Northern Illinois OVER 137.5 | Top | 54-64 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 41 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Chicago State vs Northern Illinois over 137½ -110 The OVER (137.5) is worth a look in Friday's college hoops action between Northern Illinois and Chicago State. I just feel the books have really missed the mark here. Chicago State is one of, if not, the worst defensive team in the country. The fewest points they have allowed in any game is 74 and that was against North Carolina A&T. They gave up 84 or more in 5 of 7. Huskies aren't great defensively either. IN their last 3 games they have allowed 89 to Pitt, 79 to Ball State and 106 to Iowa. Play the OVER 137.5! |

12-18-20 | Drake -5 v. South Dakota | 75-57 | Win | 100 | 19 h 23 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Drake -5 -114 Drake (-5) is worth a look here as a short road favorite against South Dakota in Friday's college hoops action. This one is easy for me. These two teams already played once this season and the Bulldogs defeated the Coyotes by 16 points. They held South Dakota to a season-low 53 points. I just feel we are seeing the Coyotes getting a little bit a love here off a big upset of in-state rival South Dakota State. That was a nice win, but it also had both teams playing their 3rd game in 3 days and anything can happen in rivalry games. Play Drake -5! |

12-17-20 | San Francisco +8 v. Oregon | Top | 64-74 | Loss | -113 | 22 h 44 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on San Francisco +8 -113 San Francisco (+8) is worth a look here as a near double-digit dog on the road against Oregon. The Pac-12 has not looked great early on this season and while Oregon comes in 4-1, I don't think this is an elite team by any means. The Dons are more than capable of going into Oregon and giving the Ducks all they can handle. San Francisco has already secured a win over Virginia and beat a decent Nevada team by 25. They also just barely lost to Cal in their last game 70-72. Play San Francisco +8! |

12-16-20 | Toledo v. Marshall -6.5 | 96-87 | Loss | -108 | 25 h 48 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Marshall -6½ -108 Marshall (-6.5) is worth a look as a short home favorite against Toledo. The books just keep underestimating this Thundering Herd team. Marshall is 4-0 SU and have gone 3-0-1. Last time out they were a mere 3-point home favorite against a good Ohio team and won by 14. Now they face another top tier MAC team in Toledo and I just don't see a much different result. Marshall is lighting it up offensively and are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 after scoring 80 or more and 11-2 ATS last 13 off a in by 10 more. Play the Herd -6.5! |

12-16-20 | San Diego -5 v. Cal Poly | 70-61 | Win | 100 | 25 h 31 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on San Diego -5 -108 San Diego (-5) is worth a look here as a short road favorite against Col Poly. This is just feels like a great time to buy low on the Toreros. This is a talented team, but come in 0-2 after opening the season with games at UCLA and home vs Nevada. Cal Poly is 2-2, but one of those wins was a cupcake non-DI opponent and the other was against a bad San Jose State team. I look for the Toreros to win and win easy. Play San Diego -5! |

12-16-20 | Mercer v. Georgia State -4.5 | Top | 81-88 | Win | 100 | 25 h 48 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Georgia State -4½ -108 You really just need to look at the line to know that Georgia State (-4.5) is the play in this one. These two teams played at Mercer back on Nov. 30. A game the Bears won 86-69. Mercer also comes in a perfect 6-0 SU on the season. All of that and yet the Bears are a dog in the rematch. It's for good reason. This Georgia State team is every bit as talented as Mercer and now they have the home court edge. Panthers get their revenge and we get our cover. Play Georgia State -4.5! |

12-15-20 | Furman +6 v. Alabama | 80-83 | Win | 100 | 27 h 32 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Furman +6 -105 Furman (+6) is worth a look as they visit Alabama in Tuesday's college hoops action. The Paladins have 4 starters back from a 25-win team and are the clear-cut favorites to win the Southern Conference. They are 5-1 to start this season with their only loss coming by a mere 5-points at Cincinnati. Note they only lost by 5 to the Bearcats, despite Cincinnati going off and shooting 56% from the field. Alabama just hasn't looked as good as what people were expecting. They just don't have the shooting they did a year ago. At least they aren't making shots at the same rate. Crimson Tide are only shooting 40% from the field and 29% from deep. If they shoot like that in this game they will lose. Play Furman +6! |

12-15-20 | Loyola-Chicago +9.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 63-77 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 32 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Loyola-Chicago +9½ -115 Loyola-Chicago (+9.5) is worth a look in Tuesday's game at Wisconsin. This might seem like a small number for the No. 12 ranked team to be laying at home against an unranked opponent, but the Ramblers are no joke. They return all 5 starters from a team that won 21-games last year. These two teams also play at ridiculously slow tempo, which makes the 9.5 a lot more valuable than it might seem. I expect Loyola Chicago to make a game of it. Play the Ramblers +9.5! |

12-15-20 | Clemson v. Virginia Tech | 60-66 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 2 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Clemson PK -110 Clemson (PK) is worth a look as they get ready to open up ACC play on the road against Virginia Tech. The Tigers have been better than expected early on. Clemson has started out 5-0 with wins over Mississippi State, Purdue, Maryland and Alabama. Three of those by double-digits and the other by 8. Virginia Tech had that big win over Villanova early, but have come back to reality a bit. They just lost at home by 20-points to a Penn State team that isn't nearly as talented as what Clemson is. Play the Tigers PK! |

12-14-20 | Rutgers v. Maryland -1.5 | Top | 74-60 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 32 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Maryland -1½ -110 Maryland (-1.5) is worth a look as a small home favorite against Rutgers in Monday's Big Ten opener. This line is begging you to take the Scarlet Knights. You have a ranked team in Rutgers as a dog against an unranked team in Maryland. Not to mention the Scarlet Knights are coming in off an impressive 79-69 win over Syracuse and the Terps fresh off an ugly 14-point loss to Clemson. I'm confident Maryland bounces back here. Rutgers only won 2 true road games all of last season and this is their first true road game of this year. Play Maryland -1.5! |

12-13-20 | Ohio v. Marshall -3 | Top | 67-81 | Win | 100 | 20 h 19 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Marshall -3 -110 The Thundering Herd (-3) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against Ohio. Marshall returns all 5 starters from last year and are a perfect 3-0 to start the new season, including an impressive 16-point win over a quality Wright State team. Ohio is a decent team and are 4-1 with their only loss by 2 to Illinois, but too much value here to pass up with the Thundering Herd. Play Marshall -3! |

12-13-20 | Wright State +3 v. Bowling Green | 85-67 | Win | 100 | 18 h 7 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Wright State +3 -110 Wright State (+3) is worth a look here as a small road dog against Bowling Green. Big time system in play favoring the Raiders. Road teams with a line of +3 to -3 who are coming off a blowout win by 20 or more against an opponents that has scored 75 or more in 3 straight games are 42-15 (74%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Play Wright State +3! |

12-12-20 | Valparaiso -2.5 v. Central Michigan | Top | 79-84 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 45 m | Show |
20* SHARP PLAY on Valparaiso -2½ -110 The Crusaders (-2.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against the Chippewas in Saturday's college hoops action. Valpo got off to a slow start with three straight losses to start the season, but it came against a tough schedule that included two power 5 opponents. They have responded with back-to-back wins and I look for them to make easy work against a pretty bad Central Michigan team. Chippewas only win on the season against Western Illinois, who is ranked No. 345 at KenPom and they only won that game by a mere 6-points. Play Valparaiso -2.5! |

20* SHARP PLAY on Rider +3 -108 The Broncs (+3) are worth a look as a small road dog against Manhattan. Great buy low spot on Rider in this one, as they have had quite a challenging schedule to start out the year playing on the road against both Syracuse and St. John's. They only lost by 3 against the Red Storm. As for Manhattan, I have them rated lower and the Jaspers are at a disadvantage having not played a game yet. Play Rider +3! |

12-11-20 | Appalachian State +5 v. Charlotte | 61-57 | Win | 100 | 24 h 39 m | Show | |
15* SHARP PLAY on Appalachian State +5 -108 The Mountaineers (+5) are worth a look as they visit Charlotte on Friday night. These two teams played last year and Appalachian State won by 9 at home. This is an even stronger Mountaineers squad in 2020. On the flip side, I think the 49ers are down a notch or two from last season. Winning on the road is also a lot easier with all the limitations on fans. All things considered, I think App State should be favored here. Play the Mountaineers +5! |
