Two nationally ranked teams matchup here today as No. 9 Maryland takes on No 20 Illinois. Maryland Terps are 18-4 S/U and 12-10 ATS this season and 8-3 S/U and 7-4 ATS in conference play. They beat Rutgers at home last game, 56-51, but failed to cover the 7 1/2 spread. The Illinois Fighting Illini are 16-6 S/U and 12-9 ATS on the season. They are also 8-3 S/U and 7-4 ATS in conference play. They are also 5-0 S/U and 3-2 ATS in their five conference home games. I like the home team here today with the short line. Take Illinois. |

02-07-20 | Iona v. Quinnipiac -5 | 73-52 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
Metro Atlantic Conference action here on Friday has Iona taking on Quinnipiac. The Iona Gaels are not having a good season at just 5-12 S/U and 3-13 ATS. The Gaels are 3-7 S/U and 2-6-1 ATS in conference play. They have lots three straight both S/U and ATS and have yet to win a true road game this year. The Quinnipiac Bobcats are 11-9 S/U and 11-8 ATS on the season. The Cats are also 6-4 S/U and 5-5 ATS in conference play. They are 4-1 S/U and ATS at home in conference play. Big mismatch here today. We have a very good home conference team in Quinnipiac taking on a poor Iona club. Take Quinnipiac. |

02-07-20 | Grizzlies +5.5 v. 76ers | 107-119 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
The Memphis Grizzlies are 8th in the Western Conference with a 26-25 record. They have been hot too, winning two straight games and seven of their last 10. They are also 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 games. They have been a decent road team with a 12-10-1 ASTS mark and losing by just a 2.9 ppg average. The Philadelphia 76ers are looking to snap a four game losing streak both S/U and ATS. The Sixers have dropped to 6th in the East. Philly has been a good team with a 22-2 S/U and 13-9-2 ATS mark this year. However, lately they have struggled and I will take the points here tonight with the visitor. Play Memphis. |

They are also a perfect 10-0 S/U and a nifty 9-1 ATS in conference play. Their only non-cover coming last game at home vs Eastern Illinois in a 68-64 win as a 9-point favorite. Tennessee State is 14-9 S/U and 13-8 ATS on the season. The Tigers are 6-4 S/U and 4-6 ATS in conference play. It's been a long time away from home for the Tigers, playing four straight road games since January 23rd. Austin Peay has been nearly perfect in conference play and I look for that to continue here on Thursday. Take Austin Peay. |

02-06-20 | Pelicans -5 v. Bulls | 125-119 | Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show | |
The Chicago Bulls have lost three straight games and six of their last 10. That has dropped them out of the playoff top 8 and into 9th place in the East. They are now 3 1/2 games back of that 8th place. The Bulls are also 0-4 ATS their last four games and 5-14 ATS their last 19 games. The New Orleans Pelicans are in 11th place in the West and sitting 6-games back of 8th place Memphis. The Pelicans had a nice run before their last two games, both losses. However, before that they were 8-4 S/U their last 12 games and 14-3-1 ATS their last 18 games. Chicago guard Denzel Valentine and forward Daniel Gafford are both doubtful tonight with injuries. Don't like having to lay 5-points on the road here, but I like the visitor in this one. Play New Orleans. |
|||||||
02-06-20 | 76ers v. Bucks -8.5 | Top | 101-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show |

The Sixers are 6th in the East with a 31-20 record and have lost three straight games. The Sixers are also 0-4 ATS in their last four games. Philly hasn't played well on the road, going 9-18 S/U and 9-17-1 ATS. Milwaukee is 23-3 S/U and 14-12 ATS at home this year and outscoring their opponents by a 13.3 point margin. Bucks just too good and right now they are the team to beat in both the East and the NBA. Take Milwaukee. |

02-06-20 | Connecticut v. Tulsa -2.5 | 72-56 | Loss | -116 | 17 h 30 m | Show | |
American Athletic conference action here on Thursday has Connecticut playing at Tulsa. U Conn is only 11-10 S/U and 12-8 ATS on the season. The Huskies are also 2-7 S/U and 3-5-1 ATS. The Huskies have struggled this season and especially in conference play. They take on a Tulsa team having a very good year at 15-6 S/U and 13-8 ATS. The Golden Hurricane are also 7-1 S/U and ATS in conference play. They have won six straight games in conference both S/U and ATS. I like the home team here to dominate this matchup. Play TULSA. |

They are 7-4 S/U and 8-3 ATS in conference play. They are coming off a home loss to Lamar 91-96. But, before that loss they had a six game win streak both S/U and ATS. A&M is 8-14 S/U and 8-13 ATS on their season. The Islanders are also 5-7 S/U and 4-8 ATS in conference play. They haven't been all that good at home either, posing a 2-5 ATS mark. McNeese has been very good on the road with a 6-2 overall ATS mark. This game basically a pick game. Looking at my own recent play power ratings, I heavily favor the visitor in this one. The road strength of McNeese combined with the home weak play of A&M has me on the visitor here. Play McNeese State. |
|||||||
02-05-20 | Illinois State v. Missouri State -6 | 60-80 | Win | 100 | 19 h 47 m | Show | |
Missouri Valley Conference action here on Wednesday has Missouri State hosting Illinois State. The Illinois State Redbirds are 7-15 S/U and just 6-15 ATS overall on the season. The birds are a dismal 2-8 S/U and ATS in conference play this season. They have yet to win and cover a road conference game in their five games. In fact, they have just one road cover on the season against 10 losses. Missouri State is 10-13 S/U and 12-10 ATS on the season. The Bears are 4-6 S/U and 6-4 ATS in conference play. Missouri State not having a good season, but it's not nearly as poor as the Redbirds are. The birds are just a bad team and that won't improve here today. Play Missouri State. |

The Hawks are 3-1 S/U and 4-0 ATS in their four road conference games. The UMBC Retrievers are 7-14 S/U and 7-12 ATS on the season. They are also 2-5 S/U and 3-4 ATS in conference play. They return home here tonight where they haven't played that well, going 1-3 S/U and ATS so far on their own court in conference play. A bit surprised that Hartford is a 3-point dog in this one. I recent play power ratings heavily favor Hartford in this contest. I'm taking the road team. Play Hartford. |
|||||||
02-05-20 | Southern Illinois -2.5 v. Evansville | Top | 64-60 | Win | 100 | 18 h 46 m | Show |
Missouri Valley Conference action here on Wednesday has Southern Illinois taking on Evansville. Southern Illinois Salukis are 13-10 S/U and 13-9 ATS on the season.

The Aces have had a horrible conference showing, going 0-10 S/U and 1-9 ATS. This has been a horrible team thus far and I don't expect it to get any better for them here on Wednesday.

|||||||
02-04-20 | Mississippi State +6 v. Kentucky | Top | 72-80 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 53 m | Show |
SEC action here today has Mississippi State playing at Kentucky. Miss State Bulldogs have been playing great. They are 14-7 S/U on the season and 13-7 ATS. However, they have won five of their last six games in conference play and have covered seven straight games. This Miss State team has huge size and that plays to their advantage here today. These big men are keeping them in games and recent action has them just a 3-point dog in this matchup. Kentucky is 16-5 overall and just 8-12 vs the number. The Wildcats have covered just two of their last seven games (all in conference). They are also coming off a loss at Auburn, 66-75. Kentucky laying around 6 points here today and that for me is too many points to pass on with the dog. I expect the size of Miss State to give Kentucky all kinds of problems. Play Mississippi State. |
|||||||
02-04-20 | Northern Illinois +6.5 v. Toledo | 66-61 | Win | 100 | 19 h 54 m | Show | |

Toledo is 11-11 S/U, but just 6-15 ATS on the season. The Rockets are 3-6 S/U and 2-7 ATS in conference play. In addition, the Rockets have lost three straight games both S/U and ATS. Recent play favors Northern Illinois a lot in this matchup, my numbers having the Huskies as a 10-point stronger team. I'll take the 6 or 6 1/2 here today since my own numbers have the visitor as a big winner in this game. Play Northern Illinois. |
|||||||
02-03-20 | Baylor -7 v. Kansas State | Top | 73-67 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 55 m | Show |
Big 12 action finds top ranked Baylor playing at Kansas State here on Monday. The Baylor Bears are ranked number one because of their 19-1 overall record and nifty 14-6 ATS mark. The Bears only loss this season coming in game two back in early November in a tournament game to Washington, 64-67 as a 5-point favorite. They are perfect in conference play with a 9-0 record and 8-1 spread mark - so very impressive for a top ranked team with the oddsmakers knowing they are good. Kansas State not having a very good year at 9-12 S/U and ATS. The Wildcats are 2-7 S/U and 5-4 ATS in conference play. Baylor laying around 7-points here today and I don't believe that is enough. My numbers have them a double-digit favorite here on Monday. I'll lay the price with the top ranked team in the nation. Play Baylor. |

02-03-20 | Pistons v. Grizzlies -8.5 | Top | 82-96 | Win | 100 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
The Detroit Pistons are 11th in the East and fading fast. Detroit still trails 8th place Orlando by just four-games, but they have to do better than 4-6 in their last 10 games. The Pistons have also failed to cover five straight games and are just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games. Detroit is 8-14-2 ATS on the road this season. Memphis is 8th in the West with a 24-25 record. They have won seven of their last 10 games. The Grizzlies have also covered four of their last five and are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games. They are 15-12 ATS at home this season.

The Pacers are 5th in the East with a 31-18 record and have won seven of their last 10 games. The Pacers have also covered three of their last four and seven of their last 10 games.

|||||||
02-03-20 | Warriors v. Wizards -5.5 | 125-117 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
Injuries plaguing both these clubs as the Golden State Warriors still without star guard Stephen Curry who is out indefinitely with that hand injury. Now they have point guard D'Angelo Russel also questionable with a quad injury. And of course Klay Thompson has been out with that knee injury. The Wizards will also be without a key cog tonight in Guard John Wall, who has an Achillies injury. The Warriors still have the worst record in the NBA with a 11-39 mark. They have also lost eight of their last 10 games. Washington is tied for 9th in the East with a 17-31 record. They trail 8th place Orlando by 3 1/2 games. I look for the Wizards to run away with this game tonight, even without Wall playing. Take Washington. |
|||||||
02-02-20 | 49ers +1.5 v. Chiefs | 20-31 | Loss | -110 | 139 h 60 m | Show | |
Realistically, you can make a case for either team in this Super Bowl. For me, it comes down to the ground control game of the 49ers vs the passing game of the Chiefs. Kyle Shanahan was on the losing end of Super Bowl 52 with the Falcons leading the Patriots 28-3. He has said he learned a lot from that loss and you know it weighs heavily on him here in this Super Bowl. He won't ask Jimmy Garrapolo to do much in this game, not that he has in the last two games. Jimmy G threw just eight times vs the Packers and they still scored over 30 points. It all comes down to the 49ers running game vs the Chiefs defense. For me, if the Niners get out to a lead they will take the air out of the ball and the ball out of Garappolo's hands. Expect to see a lot of Mostert running in this game. I don't think the 49ers can be a come from behind team and ride the arm of Jimmy G, they need to get out front here and keep the Chiefs offense off the field. I believe that Shanahan learned from his prior mistakes and will get out in front and be more conservative. I'm going to take the 49ers here in Super Bowl 54 |
|||||||
02-02-20 | Georgetown v. St. John's -1.5 | 73-72 | Loss | -111 | 2 h 39 m | Show | |
Big East action has Georgetown playing at St Johns here on Sunday morning. The Georgetown Hoyas are looking to snap out of a 3-game losing streak and a five-game spread losing streak. The Hoyas are 12-9 overall on the season but just 2-6 S/U and 1-7 ATS in Big East play. St Johns is 13-9 S/U and 13-8 ATS overall on the season. The Red Storm are 2-7 S/U and 5-4 ATS in conference play. Both teams struggling overall in conference play, however St John's is at least covering spreads. St Johns just 1 1/2 or 2-point home favorite here today. I like the home team here today at this price. These teams pretty evenly matched, but Georgetown will continue to struggle here on the road in conference play. Take St Johns. |
|||||||
02-01-20 | Jazz -6 v. Blazers | 107-124 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 27 m | Show | |
Late NBA action on the hard court tonight has the Utah Jazz playing at Portland. The Jazz were red hot until recently. They have lost three straight games both S/U and ATS. The Jazz were 14-1 S/U and 13-2 ATS before this recent three-game skid. They look to get back on the winning track here today at Portland. Portland has been the opposite of the Jazz. They have won and covered their last three games. This coming after a 2-13 ATS run. The Jazz are just too good a team to let this losing streak continue. I look for them to bounce back here tonight at Portland. Play the Utah Jazz. |

Orlando holding onto that 8th and final playoff spot at this moment. The Magic are 21-27 and 3 1/2 games ahead of the Bulls. However, they have not played well of late, losing four straight games and seven of their last 10 games. The Magic are also 0-4 ATS their last four and 1-6 ATS their last seven games. They are also 9-13-2 ATS at home this season. The Magic are also 2-6-1 ATS as a home dog. I like the visitor here tonight. Play Miami. |

02-01-20 | Wichita State v. Tulsa +2 | 51-54 | Win | 100 | 15 h 37 m | Show | |
American Athletic conference action has two of the better conference clubs meeting up here today as Wichita State takes on Tulsa. Wichita State Shockers are 17-3 S/U and ranked 23rd in the nation. They 5-2 S/U and 2-4-1 ATS in conference play. The Tulsa Golden Hurricane look to extend their win streak to six games here today. Tulsa has a 6-1 S/U and ATS mark in conference play as they have really picked up the pace since they hit the AAC. This looks to be a great matchup, but for me the home team has been playing much better overall in conference play. I'll take the small dog price here with the home team. Play Tulsa. |

02-01-20 | SE Missouri State v. Eastern Kentucky -6 | 57-70 | Win | 100 | 13 h 38 m | Show | |
Ohio Valley Conference action here on Saturday has SE Missouri State taking on Eastern Kentucky. SE Missouri State having a horrible season with just four wins and 18 losses. They aren't doing much better vs the number with a 7-13 ATS overall mark. The Redhawks are 0-9 S/U and 3-6 ATS in conference play. Eastern Kentucky isn't having a very good season either, but still better at 9-12 S/U and 10-10 ATS. They are even better at home, going 6-2 ATS in their eight games. The Colonels are having a very good conference run with four straight wins both S/U and ATS. They are also 7-2 S/U and ATS overall in their conference play. I'm a little surprised by the 6.5 point line in this game considering how well E.Kentucky is playing in conference and how poorly Se Missouri State is in conference. I'll lay the price here with the home team in what I expect to be a blowout win for the Colonels. Play Eastern Kentucky. |
|||||||
02-01-20 | Missouri v. South Carolina -5 | 54-76 | Win | 100 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |

They have covered two straight and five of their last six games. Both teams look about even overall, but South Carolina proving to be the much better conference club. I'll lay the points here with the Gamecocks. Play South Carolina. |

The Owls have lost five straight games, all in conference play and are now just 1-8 S/U overall in Conference USA action. They are also 0-5 ATS in their last 5 and 2-7 ATS in conference play. North Texas laying 7-points here is too much to pass on against a terrible Rice team. Play North Texas. |

SEC Action here early on Saturday as Texas A&M plays at Georgia. Texas A&M is 10-9 S/U and 7-12 ATS on the season. The Aggies are coming off a win at home over Oklahoma State, 63-58 as a 10-point dog. They are now 4-4 S/U and 6-2 ATS in conference play. Georgia lost its fourth straight and sixth of the last seven last time at Missouri, 69-72. The Bulldogs are just 1-6 S/U and 3-4 ATS in SEC play. Georgia laying around 6.5 points here today. I feel that A&M can win this game outright against a very poor Georgia team. I'll take these points here on Saturday. Play Texas A&M. |

They are also a nifty 4-1 S/U and ATS on the road in the conference. The Elon Phoenix are not having a very good season, with a 6-16 S/U and 10-7 ATS mark. The Phoenix are 2-7 S/U and 6-3 ATS in conference play this year. Big difference in these clubs with Hofstra having a very good season while Elon has struggled. I'm going to lay the six or so points here on the road today. Play Hofstra. |

Still, they are 13-10 S/U and 18-5 ATS on the road this year, one of the best road cover teams in the league.

The Jazz trail 2nd place Clippers by just a half game and 1st place Lakers by 3 1/2 games. The Jazz have also been a great cover team of late, going 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games. That includes covering six of their last eight games on the road. The Spurs are just out of the playoff picture, sitting 9th in the West with a 20-26 record.

Southern Illinois a 4-point dog here tonight at home. I like the home team considering how much they win and cover at home on the season. Play Southern Illinois. |

SEC action here tonight as Alabama visiting Baton Rouge to take on the LSU Tigers. Alabama is 12-7 S/U and 15-4 ATS on the season. They are also 8-2 ATS on the road this year. The Tide had their 12-game spread record broken in their last game, a 77-74 win over Kansas State where they failed to cover the 9-point line.

LSU is 15-4 S/U and 9-9 ATS on the season. The Tigers are just 5-6 ATS at home. LSU is undefeated in conference play with a perfect 7-0 S/U mark and a 2-4-1 ATS record. Alabama much more comfortable in the dog role as they are tonight. I like the Tide, who just seem to cover a lot of spreads, especially in this role. Play Alabama. |

|||||||
01-28-20 | Warriors v. 76ers -12 | 104-115 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
Still difficult to believe that Golden State is the worst team in the NBA. This is a classic example of going from the Penthouse to the Outhouse in just a few seasons. And it's no wonder that teams are taking delight in beating up on the Warriors, something they did to other teams for many years in a row. The Warriors are 10-37 on the season and 3-20 on the road. They are also 11-12 ATS on the road and getting outscored by double-digits. Philadelphia is the 6th seed right now in the East, bu only 2 1/2 games separate 2nd place from 6th place in the East so wins like tonight are important to Philadelphia. The Sixers have won seven of their last 10 games are 21-2 S/U and 13-8-2 ATS at home. I look for an easy blowout win tonight here by the Sixers. Play Philadelphia. |

Need to pick the winner though and that for me is the visitor in this one. Play New York. |

The New York Knicks are 13th in the East with a 12-34 record. The Knicks have lost eight of their last 10 games. This game basically a pick or small favorite either way.

The Hoosiers have won and covered two straight games, including a nice home win last time out over ranked Michigan State, 67-63 as a 4-point dog.

Two Eastern conference teams that likely won't be going anywhere this post season but the golf course. The Chicago Bulls are in 10th place and do have a shot at a playoff spot, sitting just 3-games back of Brooklyn for that 8th and final position. However, the Bulls are not playing like they want it, going just 4-6 in their last 10 games. The Bulls are just 11-11 ATS and 7-15 S/U on the road, getting outscored by a 3.2 ppg margin. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers are 13th in the East with a 12-33 record. The Cavs have lost eight of their last 10 games overall. The Cavs are 6-16 S/U and 8-13-1 ATS at home this year. Not too many opportunities for the Cavs to win games, but this is one fo them. They matchup well vs the Bulls and I expect one of those rare S/U wins here tonight for the home team. Play Cleveland. |

North Texas is also doing great in conference play with a 7-1 S/U and ATS mark on the season. Hard to go against a excellent covering team like North Texas. I'm going to take the home team here this afternoon. Play North Texas. |

Alabama is 11-7 S/U on the season, but covering spread with their 15-3 ATS mark. They are also 7-1 ATS at home. The Crimson Tide are 4-2 S/U and 6-0 ATS in conference play this season. Another great covering team here in Alabama may not win outright all the time, but they sure like covering spreads. Play Alabama. |

The Rebels are 9-9 S/U and 6-11 ATS overall on the season. The Rebels have not covered a spread in their last eight games. Georgia tough at home and I look for them to win this one going away.

The Governors are also a perfect 7-0 S/U and ATS in conference play. The Governors hold the top spot in the conference and have been great at covering spreads this year. Since failing to cover their first game of the year they have been on a 13-2 run since. I like the home team a lot here on Saturday at pick or 1-point either way. |

01-24-20 | Celtics v. Magic -2 | Top | 109-98 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 45 m | Show |

The Celtics are 4th in the East with a 29-14 record while Orlando is 7th in the East at 21-24. The Magic are 5-5 in their last 10 games. The Celtics are 12-7-1 ATS on the road this season and out scoring opponents by 4.6 ppg. The Magic are 9-11-2 ATS at home and outscoring opponents by 2.6 ppg. Tonight begins a 3-game road trip for the Celtics after playing six of their last seven games at home. The Magic are the best defensive team, holding opponents to a NBA best 104.3 ppg this season. Magic did a poor job though in their last game, allowing 120 points to Oklahoma City. The Celtics do have some injuries though, with F Jayson Tatum out tonight (21.5 ppg) and Jaylen Brown (20 ppg) questionable with a ankle injury. Plus they are already without C Enes Kanter who has a foot injury. I look for the Magic to rebound from that poor defensive game last time. They pride themselves too much on defense to let that happen again. Take Orlando. |

01-22-20 | Illinois State v. Bradley -9.5 | Top | 63-75 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show |
Missouri Valley Conference action here tonight has two rivals playing as Bradley hosts Illinois State. These close proximity teams having very different seasons thus far. Illinois State Redbirds are 6-12 S/U and 5-12 ATS on the season. The Birds have lost five straight games both S/U and ATS (all in conference). This team has also covered just once since December 7th. Bradley is 12-6 S/U and 11-7 ATS on the season. They are also 6-3 ATS at home and 4-2 S/U in conference play. The Braves failed to cover their last game, a home loss to Northern Iowa, 71-86 as a 1-point dog. That was their first non-cover in their last seven games. Still, this Bradley team is much better than Illinois State. This game has lots of recruiting implications for these two teams and that means a Bradley blowout goes a long way. Take Bradley here tonight. |

Summit league clash here tonight between North Dakota State and South Dakota State. The North Dakota State Bison having a fine season with a 13-6 S/U and 9-8 ATS record. The Bison are 4-1 S/U and 3-2 ATS in conference play. The Bison hit the road after a pair of home wins where they are just 1-2 S/U their last three games. South Dakota State also having a fine season at 13-8 S/U and 14-6 ATS. They are also 8-1 vs the number on their home court. The Jackrabbits have covered five of their last six games and eight of their last 10. Their only home non-cover came way back on November 19th when they failed to cover the 8 1/2 point home number in a 78-73 win over North Alabama. This should be an excellent matchup here tonight, but I like the excellent home covering team in South Dakota State. |

01-22-20 | Grizzlies +7.5 v. Celtics | 95-119 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
The Boston Celtics are 4th in the Eastern conference as just 2 1/2 games separate 2nd place from 5th place. All those teams are well behind conference leader Milwaukee, who has opened up a 8-game lead. The Celtics are just 4-6 S/U in their last 10 games. The Celtics are coming off a huge win over the visiting Lakers, 139-107. Have to feel there might be some residual from that win as they might be in for a letdown here tonight. The Grizzlies have been playing very well of late, winning seven of their last eight games. They have also covered six of their last eight. Memphis is 9-8-1 ATS on the road and being outscored by just 3.5 points. I like the points here tonight. The Grizzlies are playing well and the Celtics are setup for a flat game after that big Lakers win. Take Memphis. |

The Wildcats are 2-3 S/U and 1-4 ATS in conference play. They are coming off their first win and cover in conference play with a road victory at Fordham, 74-62. Still, this team has covered just one of their last six games. Not sure why St Louis is a dog here tonight. But I'll gladly take the points. Play St Louis. |

Conference USA action here this evening has Western Kentucky playing at Marshall. Western Kentucky Hilltoppers are 12-6 S/U and 7-10 ATS on the season. The Hilltoppers are 5-1 S/U and 3-3 ATS in conference play. This is a back-to-back series with Marshall as these teams will meet again on Saturday at Western Kentucky. That being said, these teams will likely have had enough of each other after these two games. Marshall looks to get back to .500 today after a 9-10 starts to their season. The Herd are 9-9 ATS but only 3-7 ATS at home this year. Marshall is 3-3 S/U and 1-5 ATS at home in conference play. Marshall a small home favorite here tonight. Recent play favors the visitor quite a bit here in this game. I'm taking the better team in Western Kentucky. |

TCU is 12-5 S/U and 6-10 ATS on the season. The Horned Frogs won their first three conference games, but have now lost two straight (both on the road). TCU has a 10-2 S/U record at home, losing to just USC 78-80 and Xavier, 58-67. Tonight, they are getting around 3 1/2 points from Texas Tech. I believe that TCU can win this game easily and the points are just some insurance for me here tonight. Take TCU. |

Meanwhile, Miami is 8-10 S/U and 5-11 ATS on the year. The Redhawks are just 1-4 S/U and 2-3 ATS in conference play. The Hawks only MAC win coming at home over Kent 77-74. Akron laying 4 1/2 points here today. My numbers have them at least a 7 1/2 point favorite. I'll lay the number. Play Akron. |

01-20-20 | Winthrop +2 v. Radford | 61-56 | Win | 100 | 6 h 9 m | Show | |
Big South Conference action here today on the Extra board has Winthrop playing at Radford. The Winthrop Eagles are 11-7 S/U and 12-4 ATS so far this season. They are a perfect 5-0 S/U and 4-1 ATS in conference play. They also have won and covered all three of their conference road games. Radford Highlanders are 10-7 S/U and 7-6 ATS on the season. Radford is also perfect in conference play at 5-0 S/U, but just 2-3 vs the number. The Highlanders have yet to cover a game at home, going 0-3 ATS on the season. This looks to be a very good game with two undefeated conference teams. I like the visitor though in this one. I'm taking Winthrop. |

01-20-20 | Kings +7 v. Heat | 113-118 | Win | 100 | 4 h 15 m | Show | |
The Miami Heat are the 2nd best team in the Eastern Conference with a 29-13 record, though they are 8-games back of conference leader Milwaukee. The Heat are just 5-5 in their last 10 games. Miami coming off a loss at San Antonio, 102-107 as a 2-point road favorite. Miami is a nifty 18-1 S/U at home, 13-5-1 ATS on the season. Meanwhile, Sacramento is just 15-27 on the season. However, the Kings have been a good cover team on the road where they are 13-8 ATS and only being outscored by 3.9 points per game. The Heat playing the 2nd of a back-to-back spot here tonight after traveling from Texas yesterday. That's always tough, especially against a good covering road team. I'm taking the points here with the visitor. Play Sacramento. |

01-19-20 | Packers v. 49ers -7.5 | 20-37 | Win | 103 | 101 h 3 m | Show | |
NFC Championship game here as the winner earns the right to head to the Super Bowl. The Packers jumped out to a big halftime lead over the Seahawks last week and then held on tight for the win, 23-28, just covering the 4 1/2 point spread. The Hawks went for two on a crucial play that ended up being the difference in the cover for the Packers. The 49ers had a much easier time with the Minnesota Vikings. The two teams tied at 7-7 to end the first quarter, but after that it was all 49ers as they easily pulled away for the win. This is a rematch of the week 12 matchup as the 49ers easily beat the Packers in San Francisco, 37-8. The 49ers defense was on display in that game just as it was in last week's divisional series win over the Vikings. They have held four other opponents under 20 points on their home turf and I expect that the defense will once again be key to a 49ers win here on Sunday. I'm laying the points with the home team as the 49ers move on to the Super Bowl. Play San Francisco. |

They have also failed to cover their last four games and are 1-7 ATS their last eight games. The way Illinois State is playing of late they have been terrible and looking at these conference play I have the visitor closer to a 10-point favorite. Take Loyola Chicago today. |

01-18-20 | Utah State v. Boise State +2 | 83-88 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
Mountain West action here late on Saturday has Boise State hosting Utah State. Utah State having a fine season at 13-5 S/U, but not so good vs the number at just 6-11 ATS and 2-7 ATS on the road.

They have covered six of their eight home games though. The Broncos are 2-3 S/U and 1-4 ATS in conference play thus far. Though they are 2-0 S/U and 1-1 ATS at home in conference games. Both teams struggling in conference play, but Boise is at least a decent team on their home court. I'm taking them home team. Play Boise State. |

They are also the top team in the conference right now with a perfect 5-0 S/U and ATS mark. Austin Peay just the best in this conference and should have little trouble at a poor Tennessee Martin team this afternoon. Play Austin Peay. |

The Zips are a perfect 4-0 both S/U and ATS so far in conference play. They are coming off a win at Northern Illinois, 72-49 as 2 1/2 point favorites. In fact, so far in their conference games they have won each contest by at least 14 points or more. That will make a tough task here today for a Toledo Rockets team that is just 9-8 S/U and 4-12 ATS on the season. The Rockets are also just 1-3 S/U and 0-4 ATS in conference play. In fact, they have not covered a spread in 10 straight games. I love the hove team here today. Play Akron. |

The Grizzlies are the hottest team in the West and I like them today laying the points. Play Memphis. |

They are 9-10 ATS at home this year and being outscored by just 0.4 points per game. Utah is 11-10-1 ATS on the road and outscoring teams by just 1.5 points per game. I like the Pelican here tonight. Both teams have been covering spreads, but the Pelicans keep games close at home while the Jazz are not really outscoring opponents by much on the road. Play New Orleans. |
|||||||
01-16-20 | North Texas -6 v. Southern Miss | 72-52 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Conference USA action tonight has Southern Miss hosting North Texas. The North Texas Mean Green are 9-8 S/U and 11-4 ATS on the season. North Texas has been great at covering spreads this year and have covered three straight and nine of their last 10. They are also 3-1 S/U and ATS in their four conference games. They lost their conference opener to Western Kentucky and since have won three straight. Southern Miss has not been having a good season with a 4-13 S/U and 4-10 ATS on the year. They have lost four straight (all conference games) and also have not covered any of those four. They have not been good at home either, 2-3 S/U and ATS in their last five home games.

The Drake Bulldogs are 12-5 S/U and 8-7 ATS this season. The Dogs are 2-2 S/U and ATS in conference play. They have lost both road conference games and won both home games. They beat Indiana State and Loyola Chicago at home with losses at Bradley and Valpo. With Drake at home here tonight I expect them to win this easily over a poor Illinois State game. Play Drake. |

01-15-20 | Stanford +1 v. UCLA | 74-59 | Win | 100 | 8 h 24 m | Show | |
PAC 12 action here late on Wednesday has Stanford playing Westwood to take on the UCLA Bruins. The Stanford Cardinal having a great season at 14-2 overall, but no national ranking with that record. They have also had an excellent cover mark at 12-4 ATS and 3-1 on the road. The Cardinal are 3-0 both S/U and ATS so far in conference play. UCLA not having the kind of season they are accustomed to having with just an 8-8 S/U and 6-8 ATS record. The Bruins are 1-2 S/U and ATS so far in PAC-12 play. They are coming off a home loss to USC, 57-68. Stanford actually has moved from a small favorite to a small dog here in this game. That's fine for me, I'll take that move and play on the Cardinal.

However, the Tide have been a covering machine at 12-3 ATS and 5-1 ATS at home this year. Alabama is 1-2 S/U and 3-0 so far in SEC action. They are also 5-1 S/U and ATS at home with their only loss coming in their season opener to Penn, 80-81. I like Alabama tonight. They cover spreads and they can easily win this game outright on their home court. Take Alabama. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | North Dakota v. South Dakota State -8 | Top | 66-87 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show |
Summit League action here on Wednesday has the league's top team, South Dakota State, taking on fourth place North Dakota. North Dakota Fighting Hawks lost their last game at Oral Roberts, 73-88. That was the team's second loss in a row. They are now 8-10 S/U and 5-10 ATS on the season. The Hawks have just five home games this year and so far on the road they are 4-9 ATS. The South Dakota State Jackrabbits are tops in the league right now at 4-1 conference record and 12-7 overall. Their only conference loss thus far was their opener at Nebraska-Omaha, 78-81. Since then they are 4-0 in conference both S/U and ATS. That includes their last two road games with wins at Denver and IUP-Fort Wayne. The Rabbits have been a great covering team with four straight covers, seven of 10 and 11 of 13 ATS wins. I like them here tonight to keep their covering ways going. Play South Dakota State. |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Pistons v. Celtics -9 | 116-103 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 30 m | Show | |
The Boston Celtics are the 2nd best team in the Eastern conference right now with a 27-11 record. They trail first place Milwaukee by 7-games. It gets tight though from 2nd through6th place with just 3 1/2 game separating those teams. Boston is 16-3 S/U and 11-8 ATS at home this season and outscoring opponents by 9.2 points per game. They will take on a Detroit Pistons team that will have to go on without star Blake Griffin who was recently injured. The Pistons have dropped to 11th in the East with a 14-27 record. The Pistons have lost three straight games and are 0-4 their last four vs the number. They are also just 6-12-2 ATS on the road. The Pistons coming off a OT loss Monday and now playing at Boston. I like the Celtics here in an easy win. Play Boston. |

01-14-20 | Wyoming v. Nevada -14 | 67-68 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
Mountain West action here tonight has Wyoming playing at Nevada. The Wyoming Cowboys one of the worst teams in the conference. They have lost four straight and 10 of their last 12 games.

They are coming off a road win at Penn State, 58-49 as a 4 1/2 point dog. I look for Wisconsin at home to win this game against a Maryland team that could drop from the top 25 after tonight. Play Wisconsin. |

The Grizzlies have also covered five straight and are 11-3-1 their last 14 games vs the number. The Grizzlies getting points at home tonight. I like the way the Grizzlies are playing of late. I'll take the points here tonight. Play Memphis. |
|||||||
01-14-20 | VCU v. Dayton -8 | 65-79 | Win | 100 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
Atlantic 10 Conference action tonight has VCU playing at Dayton. VCU is coming off a loss at home to Rhode Island, 56-65. They have also not been a very good team to bettors with a 2-8-1 ATS mark their last 11 games. VCU is also 2-1 S/U and ATS in conference play thus far. The Dayton Flyers are having a very good season at 14-2 S/U and 10-6 ATS. The Flyers are 3-0 S/U and 2-1 ATS in their conference play. They are coming off a home win over U Mass, 88-60 as 19 1/2 point favorites. Dayton is not only tough, but even better at home. I look for a run away win here tonight by the Flyers. Take Dayton. |

They are also 2-1 ATS in those games. Miami Ohio Redhawks look to snap a 3-game losing streak. They are also looking for their first win in conference play after going 0-3 to start conference action.

|||||||
01-13-20 | Pelicans +2 v. Pistons | 117-110 | Win | 100 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
These two teams come into today's contest with identical 14-26 records. The Pistons currently sit 11th in the East, 4 1/2 games out of that 8th playoff spot. Still plenty of time to go, but the loss of Blake Griffin will definitely hurt this team's chances to move up. The Pistons have lost two straight games and seven of their last 10. Over in the West that same record gets the Pelicans a 14th spot in the conference. Unlike the Pistons, they have won seven of their last 10 games. New Orleans has been playing much better of late though they did get blown out in their last game at Boston, 105-140. Detroit is coming off a home loss to Chicago, 99-108 as a 4-point favorite. The loss of Griffin looks like it has hurt this Pistons team more than thought. I'm siding today with the road team who has won seven of the last 10 games. Play New Orleans. |
|||||||
01-12-20 | Spurs +3.5 v. Raptors | 105-104 | Win | 100 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
A little East vs West action here today as the Raptors host the Spurs. The San Antonio Spurs are 9th right now in the West with a 16-21 record. The Spurs are just 5-12 S/U on the road, but are 7-8-2 ATS and being outscored by just 2.7 ppg. They have also improved vs the number, evidenced by three out of their last four games covering the spread. In addition, they are 8-4 ATS their last 12. The Raptors could be a bit shorthanded here today as power forward Pascal Siakam is questionable with a groin injury. Saikam averages 25.1 points per game and that's tough to replace. I'm taking the visitor in this one plus the points. Play San Antonio. |
|||||||
01-12-20 | Wright State -5.5 v. Illinois-Chicago | Top | 72-76 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 32 m | Show |
Horizon League action here today as Illinois Chicago hosts Wright State. Wright State looks to be the class of this conference with their 15-3 S/U record and 9-6 spread mark. The Raiders have won eight straight games including a 5-0 conference record and 3-2 spread conference mark. They face an Illinois Chicago Flames team that is 8th in the conference standings with a 6-12 overall mark, 8-9 spread record and 1-4 S/U conference record. The Flames are burning out these days with four straight losing games. They just got beat bad at home by Northern Kentucky, 52-68 as 1-point dogs. Now they face the best in this conference. I'm a bit surprised that Wright State just a 5.5 point favorite here. My numbers have them all the way up to -12! Take Wright State. |

01-11-20 | California Baptist +3.5 v. Grand Canyon | 61-57 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
Western Athletic Conference contest here on Saturday night as Cal Baptist takes on Grand Canyon. The Baptist Lancers having an excellent season at 12-4 S/U and 11-3 ATS. The Lancers are 2-1 both S/U and ATS thus far in conference play. They have also covered nine of their last 10 games. Grand Canyon Antelopes not having a good year at just 5-10 S/U and 4-9 ATS. The Lopes lost their conference opener at Cal Bakersfield, 62-67. They have covered the spread just once in their last four tries. Grand Canyon a 3 1/2 point favorite here tonight. My numbers have this game at worst at pick with one number coming in at Cal Baptist -4. I'm taking the visitor here tonight. Play Cal Baptist. |

01-11-20 | Vikings +7.5 v. 49ers | 10-27 | Loss | -130 | 53 h 14 m | Show | |
Division action from the NFC here will determine if the Vikings or the 49ers advance to the Conference Championship game. The Vikings pulled of the huge upset last week at New Orleans, 26-20 in OT. The Saints never got the ball in the OT period. That was the 2nd year in a row that the Saints lost in the playoffs in OT. The Vikings defense played very good, keeping the high flying Saints offense to just 20 points. The offense was back at full strength with Dalvin Cook returning from his shoulder injury and Adam Thielen catching that big OT ball to set up the win. The 49ers had a great season, though they did lose that tough home game to the Cardinals and then almost gave away the NFC West to the Seahawks on the last play of the game. HC Pete Carrol making another bonehead move as his team was hit with a delay of game on the 1 yard line. I'm still amazed at some bonehead moves Carrol makes in big games. The Vikings have rushed for 310 yards in their last two games and now have a healthy Dalvin Cook back. QB Kirk Cousins got that monkey off his back about not winning the big games and getting his first playoff victory. The 49ers defense struggled a bit down the stretch, which concerns me. The Vikings ground game will take pressure off Cousins here today. I expect this to be a close game, just like last week's for the Vikings. That means this 7 or 7 1/2 points is a mountain for the Niners to climb. San Francisco may win this game, but I don't think it will be by more than three-points or an outright loss here today. Take the Vikings plus the points. |

01-11-20 | Clemson +4 v. North Carolina | 79-76 | Win | 100 | 6 h 46 m | Show | |
ACC action here today has two teams having down seasons looking for a much needed win. The Clemson Tigers football team looks for glory on the gridiron on Monday, but the fans will have something to root for here today at North Carolina on the hard court. Clemson is 1-1 S/U and ATS in ACC play and 7-7 S/U and 8-6 ATS overall. The Tigers are off a win at home over NC State, 81-70. North Carolina had high hopes to the beginning of the season with a national ranking and a 5-0 start. However, a rough early tournament gave them a big loss to Michigan and they went on to lose five of their next six games. They have also lost their last two games, both conference games to start 0-2 in ACC play. The Tar Heels are also bad at covering, going 1-7 their last eight games. Points might be valuable in this one and that's what I'm taking. Play Clemson. |

01-11-20 | Delaware +2.5 v. Towson | Top | 68-84 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 15 m | Show |
Early Colonial Athletic Association action here on Saturday has Delaware playing at Towson. The Delaware Blue Hens are having a fine season at 12-5 S/U and 10-6 ATS. The Hens are 2-2 S/U and ATS thus far in conference play after winning at James Madison last time out, 80-76. Towson not having a great season at just 8-9 S/U and 8-8 ATS. The Tigers snapped a three game losing streak and opened conference play with three straight losses. They have won their last two games though including last time out at home over Drexel, 89-73. The Blue Hens are the better team and getting some points helps. I'll take the visitor in this one. Play Delaware. |

01-10-20 | Spurs v. Grizzlies | 121-134 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Two Western conference teams that are pretty much even with each other on the season meet here in Memphis tonight as the Grizzlies host the Spurs. San Antonio is 8th in the West with a 16-20 record and have won two straight and six of their last 10. The Grizzlies are right behind them with a 16-22 record and have won three straight and six of 10. The Spurs are just 5-11 S/U on the road and 7-7-2 ATS. They are being outscored by 2.1 points per game. The Grizzlies have been a good covering team, with a 11-4-1 ATS their last 15 games. They are 10-10 ATS at home. This game basically a pick'em and that means all we need is a win. I'm taking the Grizzlies here at home tonight. Play Memphis. |

01-10-20 | Heat -3.5 v. Nets | 113-117 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
The Miami Heat might be the surprise of the East this year. The Heat are 2nd in the East with a 27-10 record and ahead of the Celtics, Raptors and Sixers in the standings. They have won two straight and eight of their last 10 games. Miami is 9-9-1 ATS on the road, but being outscored by 3 points per game. The Brooklyn Nets are 8th in the East with a 16-20 record. They are in the midst of a bad streak with seven straight losses. They are 9-8 ATS at home and about even in point differential at home. However, with this losing streak going on and the Heat laying just three-points here tonight, I'm taking the much better team on the road. Play Miami. |

01-10-20 | Wright State -10 v. IUPU-Indianapolis | 84-70 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
Horizon League action here today has Wright State visiting Indiana-Purdue. Wright State Raiders having a great season at 14-3 S/U and 8-6 ATS. The Raiders have won seven straight games and are 4-0 in conference play thus far. They are also 4-2 ATS their last six games. The Raiders are also 5-3 ATS on the road this season. The IUPUI Jaguars not having such a good year at just 4-12 S/U and 6-9 ATS. The Jags are 1-3 S/U and 2-2 ATS thus far in conference play. They did win at Wisconsin Green Bay for their first conference win last game, 93-78. Still, this is not a good Indiana Purdue team and Wright State should have little trouble here tonight. I'm laying the price with the visitor in this one. Play Wright State. |

01-09-20 | Kings v. Golden Knights -1.5 | 5-2 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 46 m | Show | |
As we approach the end of the 1st half of the NHL season we find two Western teams going in opposite directions. The LA Kings are dead last in the conference at 17-24-4 (38 points) and have lost three straight games and are 3-6-1 in their last 10 games. The Vegas Golden Knights are 5th in the West with 54 points and are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. Vegas lost on Tuesday at home to the Penguins , 3-4. That broke a four-game win streak for Vegas. Still, they are scoring in bunches, getting at least three goals in each of their last 12 games. Meanwhile, the Kings have scored four goals total in their last three games. The offense has not been good and neither has been goalie Jonathan Quick. Vegas laying a huge price tonight so I'm taking them on the puck line as I expect a Vegas rout here tonight. Take Vegas -1 1/2 goals. |

01-09-20 | Arizona v. Oregon -3 | 73-74 | Loss | -101 | 6 h 20 m | Show | |
Two of arguably the best PAC-12 teams meet here on Thursday evening as Oregon hosts Arizona. Arizona is 11-3 S?U and 7-7 ATS on the season. The Wildcats won their conference opener over their rivals from Arizona State, 75-47. Surprisingly though, the Cats are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine games. Oregon is 12-3 S/U and 11-3 ATS on the season. They are 1-1 in conference play, losing at Colorado 65-74 and then winning at Utah, 69-64. Unlike their opponents, they do cover very well. Despite a 2-2 ATS mark their last four games, they have failed to cover just three times in 15 games this season. This should be a great game tonight, but I'm on the home team in this one. Play Oregon. |
