If you are a Packers fan, it was good to see Aaron Rodgers have a big day. Many thought the Packers loading up on running backs, and not addressing the pass catchers Rodgers needs meant the Packers were going to turn to the running game. That certainly wasn't the case vs a depleted and weak Minnesota secondary, and likely we will see the same thing vs Detroit, who has a depleted secondary due to injuries.The Packers put up over 500 yards of offense, but also gave up 34 points themselves. Matthew Stafford completed 24-of-42 attempts for 297 yards, one touchdown, and averaged 7.1 yards per attempt.Those are strong numbers against a pretty good Bears defense. I think Stafford can put up similar numbers against Green Bay, and the fast pace offense of the Bears was too much for the Lions. There was 7 points lost in that game as D"Andre Swift dropped a wide open pass in the end-zone that would have won the game for the Lions with just a few ticks on the clock. Make the play over the total.

Notre Dame will be a member of the ACC in the strange year of covid-19. This has long been a team predicated on defense. Over the last 179 Irish games the under has prevailed 100-74-5 ATS, with just an average of 49 total points having been scored despite the average total being posted in their games having been 53.2. There is a long term bias on this team's posted totals. It may be attributable of the huge following this team has, and square bettors opting for the over the majority of the time. Once again I see that bias at work in the total here as I see 6-7 points worth of value. Notre Dame in its last 350 games has allowed 18.4ppg. that drops to 15.1ppg in game 1. Duke averaged a misleading 25ppg a year ago, but against the better defensive teams they were extremely limited, and managed just 7 vs ND. Former Clemson QB Chase Brice will be the Duke QB, but with limited practice time, and a strong defense, I'm not believing he will have a whole lot of success. This total is quite tainted in history, and as it stands now. Make the play on the under.

The Arkansas Red Wolves have a long history of being a very strong team at home, but a very weak one on the road. When it comes to playing outside the conference the numbers only get worse. Arkansas St. is 40-24 SU at home outside the conference, and over the same period of time they are 7-103-5 SU on the road. The average score of the games at home have been 31.7 to 21.6 on the road just 13.7 to 35.7. This has led to an abundance of games failing to get to the total, as the under is cashing just 27.2% of all games. One huge change in the Red Wolves offense is the loss of WR Omar Bayless and his 17 TDs and 1,653 yards. He averaged nearly 12 yards per target, and that simply will not be replaced. The Memphis defense should be better this year with 8 returning starters and the entire secondary. A high total like this in game 1 and the situation here tends to look inflated. Make the play on the under.

The Denver Nuggets needed overtime in game 1, and came away with a 10 point win. Donovan Mitchell was immense for the Jazz as he scored 57 in the loss. The game saw 230 points scored prior to overtime despite the fact the Jazz connected on just 16-49 from deep, turned the ball over 15 times, and could not get stops when needed the most. I think the best offensive matchup for the Jazz is Rudy Gobert, and look for him to get a lot more touches in game 2. These teams have played all close games this season with the last 2 going to overtime, so there could be a lot of free throws in the final 1-2 minutes off this one. This game also fits a situation that is 563-403-17 ATS to the over, which is also 62-34-2 ATS to the over in the playoffs. make the play on the over.

SCORING UP FOR BOTH TEAMS = OVER:
When there is a game between a pair of teams in MLB that have played a week worth of games, and the runs their games are producing has averaged pretty high, and they are facing each other to a high total, the tendency is for them to play over the total. Today in the newsletter we will illustrate exactly that theory, and call on a game that applies on tonight's card. Let's take a look:
1) Both teams are averaging a combined score of more than 9 runs a game over their last 7 games.
2) Total is greater than or equal to 10
3) I will insert this is a road game just to stop the games from being counted twice:
A(runs + o:runs,N=7) > 9 and oA(runs+o:runs,N=7) > 9 and total >= 10 and ASU:871-986 (-0.17, 46.9%) avg line: 114.4 / -127.7 on / against: -$2,604 / -$6,943 ROI: -1.2% / -2.7% RL:614-566 (0.26, 52.0%) avg line: -125.4 / 109.3 on / against: -$8,016 / -$543 ROI: -5.1% / -0.4% OU:1070-703-85 (1.78, 60.3%) avg total: 10.6 over / under: +$29,063 / -$47,175 ROI: +14.2% / -23.0%
As you can see there are tons of games with a sample size of over 1,850 games a win rate on the over of 60.3%. that is about as solid as it gets. Tonight consider SF/COLO OVER the total.

They have issues with the better teams on the road where their usually good defense has been torched for 115.6ppg against a team .500 or better. Miami has been a hidden gem playing them on the over where they are now 46-15-1 ATS to the over as a home favorite of more than -3 points, to a total of greater than 206 in their last 62 beating the total on average by +5.48ppg. make the play on the over.

Most of the NCAA Conference Tournaments are played at a neutral site. There are 2 things at work here, that assist the total going under. First there are the nerves that have to be settled down, and 2nd a neutral court means that neither team has a lot of experience shooting in a background that they are not accustomed to. When you add to the mix that the total isn't exceedingly low, and the favorite is a low volume shooting team (55 shots a game or fewer), we have all the elements in play to put our thumbs on the scales and have an advantage over the odds-makers. This can be depicted like this: 1) Neutral court 2) Conference tournament 3) True favorite of -3 or more 4) total is 129 or higher 5) Favorite averages 55 shots per game or fewer. site = neutral and total >= 129 and tA(FGA)

The Metro Atlantic Conference Tournament gets underway today as Fairfield at 12-19 takes on a 12-17 Manhattan team. Fairfield is a major slow-down team and over their last 3 games they have attempted just 44.5 shots per game. This has gone on for quite some time at Fairfield as the Stags own a 167-209-4 O/U mark in their last 380 games played, and this year they are 7-24 O/U (2-14 O/U in their last 16). Both of these teams shoot under 40% on the season. bettors hate playing under on low totals, but the sharp action is all over the under, as this game`s total has dropped despite 65% of the public being on the over. I also have a game indicator for the first round of a conference tournament where the butterflies kick in and 2 losing teams to a very low total which is 25-4 to the under. (not a large sample size), but it fits the expectation of this game. Make the play on the under.

March Madness has begun as Conference Tournaments have already seen plenty of upsets. The neutral court sometimes creates problems for a team offensively as they have a different shooting background and in many cases that takes time for the players to get used to. Higher scoring teams off a pair of over games to help elevate the total seem to be an area of impact for these games. Let's take a look:
1) Neutral site
2) Favored by -4 or more points
3) The team is off at least 2 games over the total
4) team averages 80+
5) Opponent averages at least 70+ site = neutral and tA(points) >= 80 and p:O and pp:O and line = 70SU:122-35 (9.15, 77.7%) ATS:86-69-2 (-0.24, 55.5%) avg line: -9.4O/U:64-91-2 (-2.23, 41.3%) avg total: 151.4

The Vermont program gas been very consistently good over the years. They have posted 20+ wins for 12 straight years.

The defense is allowing 59.2ppg, while the offense is at just 71.1ppg, the lowest mark in 6 yrs. Albany is a slow-down team that is 64-37 to the under in its last 101 games (20-7 this year).

South Dakota is one of the top shooting teams in the country on their home floor as they are connecting on 53% for the season. They are also shooting 43.1% from 3 on home hardwood. North Dakota plays spotty defense, especially on the road so the home team here is going to have a lot of open and easy looks. South Dakota is averaging 86ppg at home on the season. South Dakota has been 18-8-1 ATS to the over on the season. Moreover this N. Dakota team is 66-38-1 ATS to the over in their last 105 road games. (`12-4 ATS this year). Make the play on the over.

A high level MAC Conference game has Akron taking on Buffalo. The Bulls were a Cinderella type team a year ago, but lost a lot of firepower. They are still scoring because of a fast pace attack but the shooting percentages are considerably down from a year ago. Akron is 21-7 and in a similar boat, as they like to run as well, but are not a very efficient offense. Both these teams defend very well. Akron has been a fool's gold team as they tend to score a lot of points, but never reach the potential set by the odds-makers. Akron is 62-34-1 ATS to the under in its last 97 games, and their last 8 have played under the total, none reaching the level here to go over. Make the play on the under.

This allows this team to win on the road and it has shown up in the scores of their road games. Over their last 99 road games they are 66-29-4 ATS to the under. They have not allowed any team to score more than 63 points against them on the road this season, leading to a 10-0 ATS mark to the under on the road. Additionally, the Kansas offense averages 79ppg on the season at home and just 67.8ppg on the road. This has led to 21ppg less scoring on the road.

Today we will take a look at a situation that has occurred the 1st game back from the All-Star game, apparently defense is not part of the mindset when we have this scenario: 1) 1st game after the All-Star break 2) Home favorite of more than -3 3) Winning percentage greater than .390 and less than .730 4) Since 1999 NBA0152: AASB and p:BASB and HF and line39 and WP1998SU:100-41 (7.69, 70.9%) ATS:74-66-1 (0.55, 52.9%) avg line: -7.1O/U:90-48-3 (5.56, 65.2%) avg Defense is obviously still on the break as these teams have crashed the total at a 65.2% rate covering 141 games.

I generally do not weigh in on the NBA All-Star game as it has become a defenseless dunk fest. The rules this year are completely different. Each quarter is for charity with the winner of each quarter receiving 100k for their charity. The final quarter will be played without a clock. The game will end like this. Whatever the score is after 3 quarters, there will be 24 points added to the team that leads after 3 quarters, and when that total score is reached, the game ends. EXAMPLE: The West leads 110-105 going into quarter 4. Add 24 to the 110 and the game will be won by the first team that reaches 134. (110+24). This new format means each team will likely play competitive basketball at least in the final 4 minutes of each of the 1st 3 quarters, and all of the 4th quarter. That is 24 minutes of real basketball potentially. It also means that the 4th quarter is going to be very low scoring. It is conceivable that the team that is leading wins the 4th quarter 24-14 for a 38 point quarter. The last 8 NBA All-Star games has averaged 337 total points. If you strip down a 4th quarter that will likely play out to 50 points or less, as opposed to 84, that is at least 34 fewer points off that average, as well as 12 competitive minutes in the first 3 quarters, that should negate significantly more points. I see this as a great opportunity on the UNDER. This is a real play and on the record: NBA All-STAR GAME UNDER 304.5 -105

NBA VERY GOOD TEAMS = UNDER: Everyone likes to watch a game between a pair of very good teams. When it comes time for such a game in the NBA, the defense, which is often absent from most NBA games often takes center stage. Today in the newsletter we will take a look at how that plays out. There is a bias in such games in the NBA as we take a look at total results when both teams are .600 or better, with a home favorite: WP >= 60 and o:WP >= 60 and HFSU:1855-912 (5.37, 67.0%) ATS:1412-1299-56 (0.02, 52.1%) avg line: -5.3O/U:1265-1449-53 (-0.66, 46.6%) avg total: 197.5 We see the UNDER is a blind winner with a super sample size of over 2700 games. We also see that when these games feature a high total it gets stronger:
WP >= 60 and o:WP >= 60 and HF and total >= 222SU:109-55 (5.95, 66.5%) ATS:79-80-5 (-0.26, 49.7%) avg line: -6.2O/U:62-95-7 (-2.75, 39.5%) avg total: 227.6 This goes live tonight in Houston as the Celtics invade. Consider the UNDER in this contest.

DEEBO SAMUEL MVP +2500 (1/2 of 1 UNIT) >> >> I always shy away from the QB's in this game, as it is the logical choice and the value is usually not there. that typically means I am on a long shot. i don't just like to choose a long shot on a whim, but on value so I will make the case for Deebo Samuel of the 49ers here. First, the 49ers have barely passed the ball at all in the post-season so the value is enriched as Samuel will not be on most bettors radar. He is on mine. The Niners were not sure what they had in Samuel early in the season, and his use was limited. Through 9 weeks he had 22 receptions for just 227 yards, or just over 10 yards a catch. he had just 1 catch for 30+ yards, and scored 1 TD. He also had 5 rushing attempts for 37 yards. Then starting in week 10 the Niners started to realize he had something to add to their attack. from week 10 on he caught 35 passes for 575 yards, or 16.5 yds. per catch, a quantum leap. he had 4 catches for 30+ yards and added 3 TDs. Since week 13 the 49ers wanted him to get more touches and he ran the ball 9 times for 122 yards. he had 4 runs of 20+ yards, and 2 TDs. despite the 49ers pretty much running their way to the Super Bowl he caught more balls, for more yards than any other receiver. he also ran the ball 3 times for 49 yards. When I make an MVP choice, I like players that can impact a game multiple ways (running and receiving in this case). I think the 49ers have so much to look out for that Samuel could become an under the radar part of the game plan, as he has taken on an expanded role late in the season and has delivered. > ************************************************************************************************************************************************ > The rest of my Super Bowl props are all based on FGs. I have more detailed information on this than anyone would ever expect. It is because I had the foresight to track everything in this area for every Super Bowl, and the data I didn't have I added as I got older. These are some extremely powerful props based on FGs. I only consider the last 45 years. I have done so because the goal posts were moved in 1974 to the back of the end-zone which changed things. Here we go: > > UNDER 3.5 MADE FGs (Both teams) 3.5 -120 > > The last 45 Super Bowls have topped 3,5 just 14 of 45 years (31.1%) Huge value > ************************************************************************************************************************************** > UNDER 4.5 MADE FGs (Both teams) 4.5 -240 > > There have been 5 or more made FGs in just 3 of the last 45 Super Bowls (6.6%) EXTREME VALUE! > **************************************************************************************************************************************** > UNDER 5.5 MADE FGs (Both teams) 5.5 -650 > > THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED 0-45! > **************************************************************************************************************************************** > LONGEST MADE FG 47.5 YARDS UNDER -130 > > There has been just 6 Super Bowls with a FG longer than 47 yards.

When betting money line odds please remained disciplined! For example on the prop that is -650, that doesn't mean to bet -650 to win 100 (if your unit size is 100.00). It means bet 100 to win 15.38. Don't get greedy thinking these are guaranteed to win, they are not! What I can guarantee which you can see is these are heavyweight advantaged props, but it is still one game and anything can happen! Whatever your unit size, stick with betting 1 unit. betting is a continuous of scraping a few dollars here and there, and suddenly when you look down, those few dollars start to add up instead of disappearing. STAY DISCIPLINED PLEASE! ******************************************************************************
HIGHEST SCORING HALF: 2ND -155
There has been a long history of Super Bowl games starting slowly. It seems that each team takes a look at how they are being defended early in the game before they open things up. The total points scored in the 1st quarter of 53 Super Bowl games is just 439 total points. that has led to the 2nd half outscoring the first half 1263-1142. The last 21 Super Bowls has seen the 2nd half outscore the 1st half to a record of 16-4-1. Like the odds here. The 2nd half is 8-2-1 in this when the total has been 50+ and 18-6-1 if the total has been 47+. Make the play on the 2nd half being the higher scoring half. ********************************************************************************************************************************************* HIGHEST SCORING QUARTER UNDER 21 -155
Overall there has been just 16 of 53 Super Bowls that saw more than 21 points scored in a quarter. That is just 30% if all games. The next thing to look at is the early years of the Super Bowl that had a lot of low scoring games, or at least by the posted totals the games were anticipated to be lower scoring. prior to Super Bowl 28 there was just 1 game with a posted total of 50+ so if we start from there and look at games from Super Bowl 28 forward we get a better idea on this. There have since been 10 Super Bowls with a posted total of 50+. just 2 of those saw more than 21 points scored in a quarter between both teams. make the play on the under. ********************************************************************************************************************************************* LOWEST SCORING QUARTER UNDER 3.5 +140:
There has been 34 times out of the 53 Super Bowls that saw the lowest scoring combined score come in at 3 or fewer points or 64.2% of the time. It isn't just because the games were lower scoring in the early years, as one might expect. The fact is in the last 21 Super Bowls it has occurred 13 times or 62% of the time, including 5 of the last 7 times the total was 50+. Getting plus odds on this shows value. ***************************************************************************************************************************************** TEAM THAT SCORES LAST WINS THE GAME YES -240:
This is one of the best values of all. The Yes is 18-2 the last 20 years, 27-5 in the last 32 years and 33-7 the last 40 years. needless to say the odds makers swung and missed on this one. ************************************************************************************************************************************************

While he hasn't had time yet to get his type of players into the program, he will have some help tonight. Colorado has gone a decade of playing the type of game Cronin loves, physical and ugly as the Buff's are 66-35 to the under over the last 10+ years on the road. (4-0 this year). This one looks ugly, make the play on the under.

I've not been a proponent of team trends over the years. The main reason is the team trends tend to mostly be based on small sample sizes. Essentially what I am saying is 12-1 ATS, or 16-2 ATS pretty much always turn out to be variance. While variance can be present with any sample size, it diminishes in probability with larger sample sizes. I've always tried to hold ground with a sample size of 100 or more games. That pretty much precludes most team trends. Today in the newsletter we will look toward a team trend that is under the radar for a couple or reasons. It is a team trend with a sample size of 162 games, and it is a small or obscure school on the NCAA Basketball landscape, so it does not draw any attention. North Dakota games have averaged about 150 points over the period and I think there is a small school bias and an up tempo style that allows for the value. Odds makers seem to be reserved in posting large totals for a team that should not score as consistently as this one does. here is a look:
NDAKOT is 96-64-2 OU (3.60 ppg) since Mar 04, 2014.SU:84-101 (0.32, 45.4%) ATS:80-80-6 (-0.05, 50.0%) avg line: 3.4O/U:96-64-2 (3.60, 60.0%) avg total: 147. They are 60% to the over in a 162 game period. They are 63-31-1 OVER to a total of 137.5 to 152.5.
Consider N. Dakota/Purdue Fort Wayne OVER the total tonight.

Illinois St. and Evansville have both struggled this season. The Purple Aces are just 9-12 on the season while Illinois St. is a woeful 6-14. these teams combined to bring back just 4 starters this season.

Evansville has played 6 straight to the under, while Illinois St. is 93-46 to the under in its last 139 games. Make the play on the UNDER.

The basketball program at Liberty College has taken off, and still flying under the radar. The Flames are a remarkable 19-1 on the season and a win tonight would mean 4 straight 20 win seasons. They silently won 29 games last season. The Flames do it with the defense allowing just 36% shooting and a woeful 28% from deep. They also take the air out of the ball as their games average 102 shots per contest (similar to the old Princeton teams), but without the 110 or so totals those used to generate. Since the start of 2014 the Flames are 55-25-1 to the under in all games. The bloom has not come off the rose yet as they are 13-5 to the under this year. Consider Liberty vs N. Florida under the total tonight.

Ole Miss has struggled as the schedule has become more difficult. They shot the ball very well against several cupcakes but as the schedule has increased in difficulty, they are 0-5 and as a team has shot as a team a woeful 37.3%. Tennessee lost a lot of firepower from last year's team, shooting just 40% at home, but the defense has been superb. The defense has always shown up at home, as the Vols are 60-31 to the under in its last 91 home games. Make the play on the under.
