01-09-22 | Red Wings v. Ducks -130 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Off a 4-0 loss at LA last night, I believe Detroit will struggle with fatigue/energy levels this evening. Anaheim is 18-12-4-3 this year, but it's now lost 5 of its last 6 after last night's 4-1 loss here to the Rangers. The difference for me comes on the offensive end though, as Anaheim averages 2.97 GPG, while Detroit averages 2.71. Give me the Ducks at home in this favorable rebound spot. Consider Anaheim! |

01-09-22 | Wisconsin -125 v. Maryland | 70-69 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Containing two of the nation's top three scorers was a big task this week for Maryland, which proved to have no answers for Iowa's Keegan Murray or Illinois' Kofi Cockburn. Now comes the nation's other top scorer as Johnny Davis and No. 23 Wisconsin (12-2, 3-1 Big Ten) arrive in College Park, Md., Sunday for a game against the Terrapins (8-6, 0-3). Tough assignments are the fate these days for Maryland, which yielded 35 points to Murray in an 80-75 loss at Iowa Monday, and 23 points and 18 rebounds to Cockburn in a 76-64 defeat at Illinois on Thursday. Consider that the Badgers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win, 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite, and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall. |

01-09-22 | 49ers +4.5 v. Rams | Top | 27-24 | Win | 100 | 98 h 9 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit NFC Play of the Day Niners need either a win or a loss by the Saints, and they are in the playoffs as a wild card. Frisco upended Los Angeles, 31-10, as a 3.5-point home dog back in November, and has now won and covered each of the past three meetings in this series. After stumbling out of the gate 3-5 during the first half of the season, Kyle Shanahan’s troops have found their groove going 6-2 SUATS and 7-1 ITS (In The Stats) in their previous eight games. With the horned heads just 3-9 ATS at home when coming off consecutive road contests, and the 49ers sporting a 28-12 SU and 28-10-2 ATS record as a visitor in this series, the points become the play today. To cap it off, consider that the Rams are 1-7 SUATS at home in division games when coming off consecutive away wins, including 0-6 SUATS the last six. |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Jets v. Bills OVER 41 | 10-27 | Loss | -110 | 98 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Here’s something from the ‘Did You Know?’ department: Over the last three months of NFL play, who has been the league’s best OVER team? Your obvious guesses would probably be teams like the Cowboys, Buccaneers, Chiefs or Bills (the top 4 scoring teams in the NFL this year). But it’s actually the NEW YORK JETS. After starting the season with 3 straight UNDERS, the Jets have actually gone a very surprising 10-3 O/U since the start of October... with a very gaudy average of 56.5 combined PPG! So that’s where we are going this week, as we play the OVER in the AFC EAST Division game between the JETS and BILLS. |

01-09-22 | Hawks -165 v. Clippers | 93-106 | Loss | -165 | 2 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Atlanta Hawks will try to complete a .500 road trip on Sunday afternoon against the Los Angeles Clippers, who are looking to end a three-game losing streak. The Hawks began the road trip -- which covered 5,723 miles -- with 12 players on either the COVID-19 list or injured list. Healthy again, they have won two of the five road games. The Clippers were defeated 123-108 on Saturday for their third straight loss. The Clippers have dropped nine of their last 12 games. |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Cincinnati v. Memphis -7.5 | 80-87 | Loss | -103 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Bearcats are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following a ATS win, 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall, and 12-37-2 ATS in their last 51 games following a straight up win. While the Tigers are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS loss. |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Stars v. Blues -150 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 3 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Stars played yesterday in Dallas so they should be a bit weary playing a back to back and their third game in three nights despite their long break. Jordan Binnington should be back in net for the Blues after getting the last game off, while Braden Holtby should start for the Stars. Holtby struggled in his first start back but the Stars are 4-9-1 on the road while the Blues are 13-3-2 at home. Blues will be without a couple players still, but they swept the Stars in a 2 game home and home series in December, I expect them to continue their strong play at home and against the Stars. |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Bengals +4.5 v. Browns | Top | 16-21 | Loss | -110 | 95 h 54 m | Show |
Rating: 6 Unit AFC Game of the Month Cincinnati comes into this one celebrating their first playoff berth, division title, and season of double-digit wins since 2015. QB Joe Burrow passed for 446 yards and four TDs, giving him 971 yards and eight TDs, and zero interceptions over the past two weeks. And Burrow to Ja’Marr Chase has become the NFL ‘s most dangerous connection. With the Browns averaging a mere 4.4 PPG during the 4Q this season – only Atlanta was worse – look for the Bengals to avenge a 41-16 home loss suffered against Cleveland two months ago. Finally, consider that Cincinnati is 10-0 SU and 8-2 in this series when the Browns are coming off consecutive SUATS losses, including 6-0 SUATS when Cleveland owns a losing record. |

01-09-22 | Colts v. Jaguars UNDER 44.5 | 11-26 | Win | 100 | 94 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units NFL big road favorites of -15 > pts (Colts) have gone 1-8 O/U when the OU line is less than ( 5.0 yards per rush (Colts) have gone 2-10 O/U. In the last two years , these teams have gone a perfect 0-8 O/U when favored by 5 > pts (Colts). Consider that the Colts have gone a prefect 0-13 O/U as GAME 7 or greater BIG division favorites of -6 or more points. |
|||||||
01-09-22 | IUPU Ft Wayne -1 v. Robert Morris | 76-70 | Win | 100 | 3 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Mastodons are a much better team than the Colonials. They have covered in each of their last four games and in six of their last seven conference games dating back to last season. On the other side, the Colonials are 2-11 SU and 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games and 1-4 ATS in their last five conference games. Kenpom ranks the Mastodons about 40 spots ahead of the Colonials. This spread is way too low. Take the Mastodons in this Horizon Conference matchup. |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Spurs +11 v. Nets | 119-121 | Win | 100 | 2 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Suddenly, home games are becoming difficult for the Brooklyn Nets. Winless at home since Dec. 16, the Nets will attempt to halt a five-game home skid Sunday afternoon when they face the San Antonio Spurs. Brooklyn earned its Dec. 16 home victory when Kevin Durant scored 34 points in a 114-105 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. The losing streak started with a seven-point loss to the Orlando Magic on Dec. 18, which was followed by collapses down the stretch in losses to the 76ers and Los Angeles Clippers before the Nets lost by double digits to the Memphis Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks. On Monday, the Nets trailed by 28 against Memphis in a 118-104 defeat. After rallying from 19 points down to win at Indiana on Wednesday, the Nets never led, trailing by as many as 24 points in Friday's 121-109 loss to the Bucks, who hit 16 3-pointers. Consider that the Spurs are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Heat v. Suns -8.5 | 123-100 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Miami Heat, 2-2 in what is scheduled to be a six-game road trip, will face their stiffest test yet on Saturday when they visit the Phoenix Suns. Phoenix has the best record in the NBA at 30-8, and Chris Paul leads the league in assists per game (10.1) while ranking fifth in steals (1.9). The Suns are 25-0 when leading after three quarters, and Paul -- as their veteran point guard -- deserves credit for closing out opponents. Consider that the Heat are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Pepperdine v. Gonzaga -29.5 | 83-117 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Fourth-ranked Gonzaga looks to defeat Pepperdine for the 42nd consecutive time when the two teams open West Coast Conference play on Saturday night at Spokane, Wash. The Waves have lost 23 consecutive times in Spokane as part of that dubious skid. Pepperdine's last road win in the series was a 65-64 triumph on Feb. 19, 1998, and its most recent victory anywhere against the Bulldogs was an 88-79 home win on Jan. 18, 2002. Gonzaga (11-2) is 45-2 against the Waves (6-9) during Mark Few's 23-year tenure as coach. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Capitals v. Wild +101 | 2-3 | Win | 101 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units As the Wild look to keep rolling, Washington hopes to regroup. The Capitals will try to recover after giving up five unanswered goals in a 5-1 loss on Friday night in St. Louis. Washington has dropped two straight following a 4-3 overtime loss against the New Jersey Devils last Sunday. That snapped a two-game winning streak for the Capitals, who posted a 5-3 win over the Nashville Predators on Dec. 29 and a 3-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Dec. 31. Consider that the Wild are 15-5 in their last 20 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game and 30-10 in their last 40 home games. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Sharks v. Flyers +110 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Sharks have also been depleted with captain Logan Couture on the COVID list. Erik Karlsson, Jacob Middleton and goaltender James Reimer were all out with injuries as well. Consider that the Sharks are 8-17 in their last 25 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game and 1-4 in their last 5 road games. While the Flyers are 11-4 in their last 15 games following a home loss of 3 or more goals. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Panthers v. Hurricanes -105 | 4-3 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Florida Panthers head into Saturday night's game with the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh, N.C., knowing that the road to an Atlantic Division title begins with improving their performance on the road. Florida is an NHL-best 18-3-0 on home ice this season, which is an amazing four more wins than any other team in the league. But the Panthers, who trail first-place Tampa Bay by two points, have won just four times (4-4-5) in 13 games away from Sunrise, Fla., which ties them for the second-fewest road wins in the league. Consider that the Hurricanes are 36-16 in their last 52 home games. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Maple Leafs v. Avalanche OVER 6.5 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the over is 4-0 in Maple Leafs last 4 vs. Central, 5-1-1 in Maple Leafs last 7 vs. Western Conference and 4-1-1 in Maple Leafs last 6 vs. a team with a winning record. While the over is 21-7-3 in Avalanche last 31 overall and 18-6-3 in Avalanche last 27 games as a favorite. In addition the over is 6-1-1 in the last 8 meetings and 10-0 in the last 10 meetings in Colorado. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Washington State v. Utah -2.5 | 77-61 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Utes have lost three in a row. They blew a 14-point lead in the second half Thursday in a 74-68 loss to visiting Washington. Branden Carlson, Lazar Stefanovic and Gabe Madsen each scored 12 points for Utah and Marco Anthony and Rollie Worster tallied 10 apiece. Anthony grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds and led the Utes with four assists. It was just Utah's second loss in eight home games this season. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Tennessee v. LSU -1.5 | 67-79 | Win | 100 | 6 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units LSU held on to beat Kentucky for its first SEC win. The Tigers bounced back from their first loss of the season in their SEC opener at Auburn six days earlier. LSU held the Wildcats to 10 points during the final 13 minutes of the game to overcome a nine-point deficit. Even with the frantic final two minutes, the Tigers finished the game with a 24-10 run. Consider that the Tigers are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games overall. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Notre Dame v. Georgia Tech +1.5 | 72-68 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Notre Dame is coming off a big win over North Carolina on Wednesday to make it four straight wins for the Irish as they improved to 2-1 in the ACC. Notre Dame now hits the road where it has struggled, going 1-2 with the two losses coming by blowouts against Boston College and Illinois and the lone win being a one-point win at Pittsburgh. Overall, the Irish are 6-0 at home but just 2-5 on the highway, getting outscored by close to nine ppg. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Iowa State +6.5 v. Oklahoma | 66-79 | Loss | -101 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units First, Iowa State had further to go, after going 2-22 last season, 0-18 in conference play, and a combined 14-42 over the last two seasons combined. The Cyclones lost all five of their top scorers from last year's team and returned three rotational players from last year's team, who averaged just 10.7 points per game combined. Iowa State won its first 12 games of the season by an average of 17 points per game, with just two decided by fewer than 10 points. The Cyclones are coming off a 51-47 win over Texas Tech on Wednesday that was their first conference win since late February 2020. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Chiefs v. Broncos +10.5 | 28-24 | Win | 100 | 75 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units The Chiefs were 3-point chalk two weeks ago in this game at the Super Book in Las Vegas. They were also 9.5-point favorites in this matchup at Arrowhead just five weeks ago, a game they won 22-9 despite being out yarded 404-267 yards. Given the Featherheads’ 2-8 ATS mark of late against sub .500 foes, look for the Broncos to improve on their 8-1 ATS mark when coming off a division road contest. In fact, for more, consider that Denver is 17-5 SU and 20-2 ATS as a home dog when coming off a division contest, including 13-0 ATS versus sub .700 opponents. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Syracuse +4.5 v. Wake Forest | 74-77 | Win | 100 | 3 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Demon Deacons played without Daivien Williamson, the team's third-leading scorer (12.9), who missed a game for the first time this season Tuesday night and was believed to be in the health and safelty protocol. Carter Whitt filled in, though he didn't score. Of concern to Forbes were 22 turnovers, including eight by LaRavia. Consider that the Demon Deacons are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Texas v. Oklahoma State +2.5 | 51-64 | Win | 100 | 3 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Cowboys are 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 Saturday games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. While the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | VCU -7 v. La Salle | 85-66 | Win | 100 | 3 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Rams are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games. While the Explorers are 17-35-1 ATS in their last 53 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600 and 5-12-1 ATS in their last 18 games overall. In addition, the road team is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | East Carolina v. Temple -4 | 75-78 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Pirates are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games and 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog. While the Owls are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games, and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall. In addition the home team is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Villanova -8.5 v. DePaul | 79-64 | Win | 100 | 3 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Justin Moore continues to show why he's on the verge of becoming the next standout for No. 19 Villanova. With Collin Gillespie scoreless midway through the second half, Moore took over and carried the Wildcats past Creighton 75-41 on Wednesday. Moore finished with 22 points, though Gillespie, a Player of the Year candidate, did finish with 11. Moore will look to keep Villanova (10-4, 3-1 Big East) surging when it aims for a fourth straight win Saturday at DePaul. Consider that the Blue Demons are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a home underdog. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Connecticut +4.5 v. Seton Hall | 87-90 | Win | 100 | 1 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units UConn (10-3, 1-1 Big East) is ready to return to action for the first time since beating Marquette 78-70 on Dec. 21. All players are expected to be available, although some could be on a minutes limit. The Pirates (10-3, 1-2) lost to both Providence and Villanova last week with only eight scholarship players available. But rim protector Ike Obiagu returned from COVID pause to help Seton Hall beat host Butler on Tuesday, and 6-10 forward Tyrese Samuel likely will be available to play against the Huskies. Consider that the Huskies are 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Dayton -8 v. George Washington | 83-58 | Win | 100 | 1 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Flyers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. While the Colonials are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games overall and 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Capitals -101 v. Blues | 1-5 | Loss | -101 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This line has already risen from +115 to -105 with the announcement that Vladimir Tarasenko and a couple others were added to the COVID list for the Blues. I wouldn't be surprised to see more tomorrow either. On the other side, the Caps got Nicklas Backstrom, TJ Oshie, and Dimitry Orlov back at practice and all of them are expected to play Friday. Knowing the Caps, something will happen to keep them from starting all their starters (but Anthony Mantha) for one of the first times this season, but at the moment this line will only rise as long as they avoid any COVID issues. |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Flames v. Hurricanes -175 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Jacob Markstrom should be starting for the Flames after they played in Tampa Bay last night but he has struggled since the break. The Flames have also struggled losing their last two games while the Canes are undefeated since the break. These are actually the two teams with the fewest goals allowed per game but I think being rested and at home gives the Canes a huge advantage. I wanted to take this at -155 but its already risen so I am willing to take the risk on someone possibly being out for COVID. As a statistician, theres a 50-50 chance it will favor us too, right? |
|||||||
01-07-22 | Southeastern Louisiana -126 v. McNeese State | 83-78 | Win | 100 | 2 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Lions are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games as a favorite and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Friday games. While the Cowboys are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games as an underdog and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Clippers v. Suns -10.5 | 89-106 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Suns look to record win No. 30 when they host the Los Angeles Clippers tonight as they continue one of the best starts in franchise history. Phoenix's top start through 38 games was 31-7 during the 2004-05 season, a team led by superstar Steve Nash. A win against the Clippers would place the Suns at 30-8. And Phoenix is thriving despite five players being in COVID-19 protocol -- big men Deandre Ayton and JaVale McGee, forwards Jae Crowder and Abdel Nader, along with guard Landry Shamet. Consider that the Clippers are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 2 days rest. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Rangers +1.5 v. Golden Knights | 1-5 | Loss | -180 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Coming off an impressive back-to-back on home ice, the Rangers hope to keep the good times rolling Thursday when they visit the Vegas Golden Knights in the opener of a five-game road trip. New York is on a three-game winning streak after getting two wins over the Tampa Bay Lightning and a 4-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers. The streak started with Mika Zibanejad getting the only goal of the shootout of a 4-3 win at Tampa Bay on Friday and continued with Zibanejad getting a hat trick in an impressive 4-0 win at home over Tampa Bay on Sunday. Zibanejad did not register a point Monday against the Oilers but heads into the road trip with six goals in his past six games. |

01-06-22 | Montana v. Eastern Washington +3 | 90-78 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Grizzlies are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. While the Eagles are 23-8 ATS in their last 31 games as an underdog, 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games following three or more consecutive road games, and 21-8 ATS in their last 29 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. |

01-06-22 | Pacific v. BYU -17 | 51-73 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Tigers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog, 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall, and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. While the Cougars are 19-9 ATS in their last 28 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Warriors -2.5 v. Pelicans | 96-101 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This game could be Warriors' final one before the return of shooting guard Klay Thompson, who hasn't played in more than two years because of ACL and Achilles tears. Golden State reportedly is optimistic that Thompson will be able to play at home against Cleveland on Sunday night. New Orleans won five of its last six games before New Year's, but the schedule at the start of 2022 has not been kind. The Pelicans' losing streak started with a road loss against defending champion Milwaukee on Saturday. The game against Golden State concludes a homestand featuring the top three teams in the Western Conference in four days. The Pelicans lost to Utah 115-104 on Monday and to Phoenix on Tuesday, 123-110. Consider that the Warriors are 23-9-1 ATS in their last 33 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | UAB v. North Texas -125 | 69-63 | Loss | -125 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Mean Green are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 Thursday games. |

01-06-22 | Grand Canyon v. UT-Rio Grande Valley +8.5 | 84-70 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Antelopes are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a road favorite and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games following three or more consecutive home games. While the Vaqueros are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. |

01-06-22 | Penguins v. Flyers OVER 6 | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the over is 5-0 in Flyers last 5 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game, 4-0 in Flyers last 4 games a home underdog, and 7-0 in Flyers last 7 home games. While the over is 8-3-1 in Penguins last 12 vs. Metropolitan, 5-2 in Penguins last 7 games playing on 0 days rest, and 9-4 in Penguins last 13 games as a road favorite. |
|||||||
01-06-22 | Penguins v. Flyers +1.5 | 6-2 | Loss | -128 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units I completely understand why the Penguins are such heavy favorites as they are on a nine-game winning streak and the Flyers are still quite short-handed due to COVID. However, this is a rivalry game and the Pens had to expend a lot of energy Wednesday night in rallying to beat St. Louis. Philly netminder Carter Hart has allowed three goals or fewer in five straight starts. If he only gives up three here, I absolutely believe the Flyers cover on the puckline at -130. Hart is usually quite a bit better at home. |

01-06-22 | Ohio State +3.5 v. Indiana | 51-67 | Loss | -104 | 6 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Ohio State has won this season with offense, ranking fifth in the Big Ten in scoring (76.7 points per game), third in 3-point field goal percentage (39.7 percent) and second in field goal percentage (48.9 percent). Liddell ranks fourth in the Big Ten in scoring at 19.6 points per game, while Justin Aherns ranks ninth in the league in 3-pointers made at 2.4 per game. Indiana (10-3, 1-2) returns home after a disappointing 61-58 loss at Penn State. The Hoosiers went just 4 of 17 from 3-point range in the loss and were outrebounded 39-29. During one second half stretch, Penn State was able to grind nearly two minutes off the clock by grabbing four straight offensive rebounds. Consider that the Buckeyes are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. |

01-06-22 | Binghamton v. Albany -4 | 88-79 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Unit Consider that the Bearcats are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. While the favorite is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings. |

While the Spartans are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400 and the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. |

01-05-22 | Heat v. Blazers +1.5 | 115-109 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Miami Heat continue a six-game road trip on Wednesday when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers. Miami comes in halfway through its road swing, which matches the Heat's longest this season. After starting the trek Dec. 31 with a 120-110 win at Houston, Miami dropped its last two against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday 115-113 and Monday at Golden State 115-108. The loss to the Warriors came with an additional toll. Jimmy Butler was helped off the court in the third quarter having sustained what the team later announced was a right ankle injury. He has been ruled out against the Blazers. Consider that the Heat are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game and 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Portland. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Jazz -3 v. Nuggets | 115-109 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Denver Nuggets haven't spent as much time at home this season as many other teams. They've played 21 of their 35 games on the road so far this year, most of those without their full lineup intact, and the last two without their head coach. Denver won't have a full complement of players Wednesday night, but it will get a chance to play at home when it hosts the Utah Jazz. The Nuggets haven't dominated at Ball Arena like they have in past years, going just 8-6 with a couple of underwhelming losses tossed in. They'll have to be well-prepared for Utah, as the Jazz lead the Northwest Division so far this season. Consider that the Jazz are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite. While the Nuggets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. |

01-05-22 | Thunder +7.5 v. Wolves | 90-98 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads the Thunder with 22.7 points per game to go along with averages of 5.2 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks. Teammate Luguentz Dort, who is dealing with a sore knee and is uncertain for Wednesday, is second with 16.3 points per game. A bright spot for Oklahoma City has been newcomer Josh Giddey, who was named as the Western Conference Rookie of the Month for December on Tuesday. The 19-year-old from Australia averaged 11.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.7 assists during the month. Consider that the Thunder are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Raptors v. Bucks -7.5 | 117-111 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After their six-game win streak was snapped on Monday, the Milwaukee Bucks look to get back on track on Wednesday night when they host the Toronto Raptors. The Bucks are coming off a 115-106 loss to the Detroit Pistons, who earned back-to-back wins for the first time this season. Giannis Antetokounmpo paced Milwaukee with 31 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists on 11-of-21 shooting. Jrue Holiday trailed close behind with 29 points, and Bobby Portis had 12 to go with 14 rebounds. Khris Middleton chipped in 10 points after missing Saturday's game due to personal reasons. Consider that the Raptors are 9-26 ATS in their last 35 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | North Florida v. Florida Gulf Coast -10 | 67-74 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Ospreys are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog, and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. While the Eagles are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite. In addition, the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | 76ers v. Magic +8.5 | 116-106 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Wendell Carter Jr. had 21 points and 10 rebounds against his former team, marking his fourth consecutive double-double and team-high 18th of the season. Carter also scored his 2,000th career point in the loss. Wagner scored a team-high 22 points for his 20th consecutive game in double figures - the second-longest streak by a rookie in Magic history. Gary Harris (19 points) went 5 of 10 from 3-point range and Terrence Ross contributed 15 points off the bench, giving him 48 points in two games since clearing protocol. Consider that the 76ers are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite and 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Orlando. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Pistons +10.5 v. Hornets | 111-140 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Hornets are the worst defensive team in the NBA. They allow 116.7 PPG. The last two games have seen them give up 133 to Phoenix and 124 to Charlotte. Those kind of defensive numbers, coupled with being this large of a favorite, is a bad combo. The back to back wins should have Detroit somewhat confident heading into this game. It's not like Charlotte is some great team either. While the Hornets are currently in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, they've given up more points than they've scored this year and tonight marks just the EIGHTH game where they come in as the favorite. |

|||||||
01-05-22 | Nebraska v. Michigan State -15.5 | 67-79 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No. 10 Michigan State will look to stretch its winning streak to eight games when it hosts Nebraska today. The Spartans' last victory wasn't easy. They were down 13 points to Northwestern on Sunday and the game was tied at 57 before they rattled off eight consecutive points. "We did not play our best basketball," coach Tom Izzo said. "It was not something that will go down in Michigan State lore as far as a game, that first half. But the second half I did think we competed more." Gabe Brown scored 15 of his 20 points after the break, including a clutch 3-pointer in the final minute. The 73-67 win allowed Michigan State (12-2, 3-0 Big Ten) to preserve its No. 10 ranking. Consider that the Cornhuskers are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 road games following three or more consecutive home games. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Kings v. Lakers -6.5 | 114-122 | Win | 100 | 12 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Sacramento Kings will look to derail LeBron James and the Lakers when they visit Los Angeles for a duel of Pacific Division rivals Tuesday night. James had his run of 30-point games end at seven straight on Sunday, but still managed a game-high 26 as the Lakers won a second in a row, 108-103 at home over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The victory came even though the Lakers were outrebounded 56-28. Consider that Kings are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games playing on 1 days rest. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Flyers v. Ducks -133 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Flyers are 13-14-3-3, including 7-7-3-1 on the road. The Ducks are 17-11-4-3, and home ice advantage has played a big part in that record, as they're 10-4-3-1 at home. The Ducks are also 5-1 their last six as a home favorite and 9-2 in their last 11 against a club with a losing record. The biggest difference comes on the defensive end though where the Flyers allow 3.22 GPG, while the Ducks allow just 2.71. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Predators +1.5 v. Golden Knights | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Nashville, which is 8-1-1 since Dec. 4 and is beginning a three-game western road trip at Las Vegas, also was disappointed with its overall performance in its last game despite blowing out the visiting Chicago Blackhawks 6-1 on Saturday. Rookie forward Tanner Jeannot scored two goals and defenseman Mattias Ekholm had three assists in the win, but the defensive-minded Predators also needed a big game from goalie Juuse Saros who finished with 37 saves. Consider that underdog is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings while the road team is also 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | LSU v. Kansas State -1 | 20-42 | Win | 100 | 468 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units The boys from Manhattan own massive edges at both the head coaching and quarterback positions, and coach Klieman stands 11-4 SU and 10-3 ATS versus .500 or fewer opponents. We cement the call with this nugget that Bowl dogs coming off consecutive losses are 5-0 SUATS since 1980 against foes off a pair of wins, the last SU as an underdog. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Avalanche v. Blackhawks +1.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 5 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Colorado is certainly better than Chicago, but the Avalanche are basically a .500 team on the road and Darcy Kuemper has been a bit worse away with a 3.15 GAA. The Hawks are usually very competitive when Marc-Andre Fleury is in net, and he's back from protocols tonight. Chicago has won four of his past six starts and we only need a one-goal loss here with a nice puckline price of -125 at home. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Suns v. Pelicans +8 | 123-110 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pelicans got their top two scorers -- Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciunas -- back Monday. The Pelicans, who began the new year with a 136-113 loss at defending champion Milwaukee on Saturday, are in the midst of three home games against the best teams in West over four days. The stretch concludes against NBA-leading Golden State on Thursday. Consider that the Pelicans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 0 days rest. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | North Alabama +7 v. Lipscomb | 74-84 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Lions are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. While the Bisons are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games as a home favorite and 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Pacers +2 v. Knicks | 94-104 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pacers put themselves in position for a stirring win Sunday by mounting a 22-9 run to take an 84-73 lead with three minutes left in the third quarter. But the Cavaliers scored the final 15 points of the period and led by as many as nine in the fourth quarter. Indiana fell to 2-7 since a three-game winning streak that ended Dec. 10. That winning streak included a 122-102 victory over the Knicks on Dec. 8. The Knicks haven't been at .500 since entering the game against the Pacers at 12-12. That loss marked the start of a 5-8 stretch for New York, which won three in a row from Dec. 25-29 to move within a game of the break-even mark before falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder 95-80 on New Year's Eve. The Knicks enter Tuesday in 11th place in the East, one game behind the Raptors and Boston Celtics, who are tied for the final two play-in spots. Their attempts to climb the standings have been complicated by a string of injuries and COVID-19 absences. Consider that the Pacers are 20-9-2 ATS in their last 31 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Spurs v. Raptors -6.5 | 104-129 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With most of their players back in the lineup, the Toronto Raptors will be going for their third straight victory Tuesday night against the visiting San Antonio Spurs. Scottie Barnes, the last regular to return from health and safety protocols for the Raptors, scored 13 points Sunday in a 120-105 victory over the visiting New York Knicks. Slightly more than a week ago, the Raptors were trying to assemble a team while having 10 players in the COVID-19 protocol. With the regulars back, Raptors coach Nick Nurse must figure out his rotations. Consider that the Raptors are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Lightning v. Blue Jackets OVER 6 | 7-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both expected goalies were rusty after the break; in fact, they were unexpectedly poor. Columbus gave up 7 goals, and while that number was especially high, high goals against has been an ugly trend for the Blue Jackets. The Lightning came out flat, and were shut out by the Rangers, so look for a lot more snap and crackle on Tuesday. Both teams have decent goals-for figures; Columbus's defense has not been impressive. The Total is only average for this game at the moment. I like the OVER here. A motivated Lightning team will take it to the Jackets and ride this game over. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Lightning v. Blue Jackets +1.5 | 7-2 | Loss | -119 | 3 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Blue Jackets co-leading scorer Oliver Bjorkstrand will play for the first time since Dec. 16. If Columbus had No. 1 netminder Elvis Merzlikins in net, I'd probably take the Jackets for the outright upset. Don't trust backup Joonas Korpisalo that much, but I do like this price of -130 at +1.5 on the puckline as the Bolts have lost three in a row. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Kentucky v. LSU -133 | 60-65 | Win | 100 | 9 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Fifth-year LSU coach Will Wade is trying to rebuild the Tigers program to the heights it enjoyed during Brown's 25-year tenure, which included trips to the Final Four in 1981 and 1986. "We're made up of the right stuff," Wade said. "We're going to be really good this year. We're really good right now." Wade said the Tigers "just lost our way a little bit" in the loss to Auburn, falling behind 18-1 while missing their first 16 field-goal attempts. They played without starting shooting guard Brandon Murray, who was sidelined by a hamstring injury, and the team shot 28.6 percent (18-of-63) from the floor, making just six 3-pointers in 29 attempts. Consider that the Wildcats are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games following a ATS win. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Texas v. Kansas State +6.5 | 70-57 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units K-State (8-4, 0-1 Big 12) overcame a 15-point deficit and tied the game late against the Sooners, but fell 71-69. Mark Smith had career highs with 25 points, 16 rebounds and five assists. He became the first Wildcat with at least 25 points and 15 boards in a game since Michael Beasley in 2008. Consider that the Longhorns are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. While the Wildcats are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Army +2 v. Bucknell | 96-89 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |

|||||||
01-04-22 | Auburn -9.5 v. South Carolina | 81-66 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No. 11 Auburn will travel to Columbia, S.C., to face the South Carolina Gamecocks on Tuesday night, when the surging Tigers will look for continued dominance by big man Walker Kessler. A transfer from North Carolina, Kessler has been swatting away shots at a record pace for Auburn (12-1, 1-0 SEC), which opened conference action Wednesday with a 70-55 home victory over No. 16 LSU. The dominating Kessler played an enormous role in the game. He crafted a triple-double, including a career-high 11 blocks, as Auburn held the visiting Tigers to 28.6 percent shooting from the field and 20.7 percent from long range. The Newnan, Ga., native led his team with 16 points and 10 rebounds as Auburn rolled to its ninth straight victory. Consider that the Tigers are 15-5-2 ATS in their last 22 games as a favorite. |
|||||||
01-03-22 | Nuggets v. Mavs -3.5 | 89-103 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Denver faces a Dallas team that has gotten key players back, most notably Luka Doncic. Doncic missed 10 games before leading the Mavericks to a 95-86 win at Oklahoma City on Sunday night. It was his first game in 23 days and he was sporting a brace on his left knee. Coach Jason Kidd limited him to 31 minutes, and he finished with 14 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds. Dallas also got Tim Hardaway Jr. and Max Kleber back into the lineup. Both players missed six games in health and safety protocol since testing positive for COVID-19 before Christmas. The win over the Thunder was the second straight for the Mavericks after they dropped five of their previous seven. They went 5-5 without Doncic. |
|||||||
01-03-22 | Browns v. Steelers -145 | 14-26 | Win | 100 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Mike Tomlin is 18-8 SU and 13-11-2 ATS in games when Pittsburgh sports a .500 record, as well as 12-2 SU and 7-6-1 ATS in Last Home Games. He is also 6-0 SUATS at home off a loss in which the Steelers surrendered 35 or more points. Enter Big Ben, who is likely playing his final home game at Heinz Field against a team he has owned in the past, going 24-3-1 SU in his career, including 12-1 at home (the loss here last season in the playoffs). Meanwhile the Browns were eliminated from contention on Sunday. Thus, I wonder if maybe they sit Baker Mayfield because he's so banged up. |
|||||||
01-03-22 | Grizzlies +6.5 v. Nets | 118-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units NBA Play of the Day The Memphis Grizzlies own the notable distinction of being the only team to defeat the heavyweights of the Western Conference in the Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz this season. Ja Morant played a significant role in those victories, and he and the rest of the Grizzlies will get a crack at another upper-echelon team Monday night in a visit to the Brooklyn Nets. Morant heads into Monday's game averaging 24.7 points a game this season and 26.5 points in six games since returning from a 12-game absence due to a sprained knee and the NBA health and safety protocol. The Grizzlies were 10-2 in his absence, and Morant is averaging 30.5 points during their current four-game winning streak. Morant has scored at least 30 points in three straight games for the first time in his career. He started it by capping a 33-point night with the game-winner in Phoenix on Dec. 27, scored 41 two nights later in a five-point win over the Los Angeles Lakers, and then finished with 30 in Friday's 118-105 win over the San Antonio Spurs. |

01-03-22 | Florida A&M -2 v. Bethune-Cookman | 59-66 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is a redemption game for Rattlers senior guard MJ Randolph, who averages 19.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists and should be the best player on the floor. In the most recent meeting in March 2020, also in Daytona Beach, Randolph missed a free throw with no time left in regulation and Florida A&M ended up losing in overtime. Florida A&M ranks 298th at Kenpom, 55 spots ahead of Bethune-Cookman. Lay the small number. |
|||||||
01-03-22 | Oilers v. Rangers +1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Rangers will aim to extend their winning streak to three games on Monday night when they host Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers. After Mika Zibanejad scored the lone goal of the shootout in New York's 4-3 victory vs. the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday, he followed it with his eighth career hat trick two days later. Zibanejad scored two power-play goals in the first period before tallying late in the second during a 4-0 romp over the Lightning on Sunday. He has four multi-point performances in his past five games, while Chris Kreider -- who set up all three of Zibanejad's goals on Sunday -- has nine points (two goals, seven assists) during that same stretch. Consider that the Rangers are 15-6 in their last 21 overall. |
|||||||
01-03-22 | Towson -2.5 v. Drexel | 61-65 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Towson travels to Drexel as both teams start conference play in the Colonial. This line feels a bit small here for me and my model definitely agrees with this one- it's projecting a four point win for Towson. The Tigers are 11-2 ATS this season including 7-0 ATS on the road. Drexel also has not played since December 14th, so the Dragons may find themselves a bit rusty. Towson has won three straight meetings with Drexel and nine of the last ten since 2016. Take the small number now, pay attention to inactive reports and watch to see if Towson can continue their dominance over their conference foe. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Wolves +8 v. Lakers | 103-108 | Win | 100 | 12 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lakers would appear to need all the help they can get to defeat the Timberwolves. Their rough eight-game stretch started Dec. 17 with a 110-92 defeat at Minnesota, in a game when Davis left in the third quarter with his knee injury and hasn't played since. The Wolves actually have two victories over the Lakers this season, also beating them 107-83 at Los Angeles on Nov. 12. Karl-Anthony Towns averaged 28.5 points in the two victories, but is out in COVID-19 protocol, along with guards McKinley Wright IV and D'Angelo Russell. Minnesota has lost four of its last five games during its COVID-19 issues. Anthony Edwards returned from a six-game absence in a 120-108 defeat at Utah on Friday to score 26 points. Jarred Vanderbilt also returned Friday, while Patrick Beverley and Naz Reid are two games into their return. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Vikings +13 v. Packers | 10-37 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units If the Vikings aren’t the epitome of a “close-call” team, there isn’t one. Fourteen of their 15 games have been decided by 8 or fewer points, and last week they put the icing on the cake in their showdown with the Rams, that saw the time of possession deadlocked at 30:00 for both teams, while Minnesota outgained Los Angeles by five net yards. QB Kirk Cousins had a fine game overall, going 27-of-38 for 315 yards, one touchdown and an interception that wasn’t his fault. With the No. 8 seed Vikes sitting just on the outside looking in at the NFC playoff race, they will need to bring the kitchen sink and more here tonight. Consider that Mike Zimmer sports a sterling 19-6-1 ATS dog log when coming off a loss, including 12-1-1 ATS versus .600 or greater opposition. |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Suns v. Hornets +2.5 | 133-99 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It won't take a Rocket Scientist to figure out that the majority of the public money in this contest will be on the 27-8 Phoenix Suns. But I think there's value here on the 19-17 home side. This is a revenge game for the Hornets after they fell 137-106 in Phoenix on December 19th. Here's a perfect opportunity to get some revenge against a Suns team coming off their worst loss of the year. The Suns fell 123-108 in Boston as 3.5-point favorites last time out. Charlotte enters red hot after three straight victories as well, most recently a 116-108 victory over Indiana. Charlotte averages 115.2 points per game (2nd.) |
|||||||
01-02-22 | Heat v. Kings +4 | 113-115 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Kings, who are 9-12 at home this season yet started the weekend just a half-game outside the Western Conference playoff picture, are actually in good shape in terms of COVID. Sacramento split two home games against the Dallas Mavericks this week, winning Wednesday on Chimezie Metu's 3-pointer at the buzzer before losing Friday's rematch. In Wednesday's game, the Kings got Davion Mitchell, Alex Len and Louis King back from the COVID list. On Friday, Neemias Queta returned from COVID protocol, and he was the final Kings player on the list. Shooting guard Terence Davis, Sacramento's seventh-leading scorer at 9.5 points per game, missed Friday's game due to left ankle soreness. Otherwise, the Kings are healthy, which is not the case for the Heat. In fact, Miami's game against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday was postponed because the Heat did not have the NBA's requirement of eight available players.

01-02-22 | Pacers v. Cavs -3 | 104-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pacers, meantime, will be trying to recover from having a home win snatched from their grasp on Friday night when the Chicago Bulls' DeMar DeRozan connected on a desperation 3-pointer at the horn for a 108-106 victory. It was Chicago's second win over the Pacers in six days, with Indiana also suffering a 116-108 home loss to the Charlotte Hornets in between. The three-game skid is Indiana's sixth losing streak of the season -- two two-gamers, two three-gamers and two four-game streaks. In the rematch with the Bulls, the Pacers were down five players -- including standout guard Malcolm Brogdon and Kelan Martin, who joined the group Friday -- because of COVID protocol. Consider that the Cavaliers are 25-9 ATS in their last 34 games overall. |

01-02-22 | Cardinals +5.5 v. Cowboys | Top | 25-22 | Win | 100 | 102 h 12 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit NFC Play of the Day The Cowboys became the 17th different NFC East division champion in the past 17 seasons when they clinched the crown in last week’s 56-14 whipping of Washington. With it, QB Dak Prescott fi nally broke out of his slump, albeit against a poor pass defense missing lots of personnel. Prescott was nearly perfect in this game going 28-of-39 for 330 yards and four touchdowns. He’ll need a repeat performance today, though, especially with ‘Zona 6-1 SUATS away this season. Consider that Dallas is 5-12 SU and 2-15 ATS at home the last 11 years without rest versus .666 or greater conference opponents, including 0-12 ATS in games with an Over/Under total of fewer than 51 points |

01-02-22 | Cardinals v. Cowboys OVER 51 | 25-22 | Loss | -110 | 78 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units Dallas is now the HIGHEST-scoring home team this year in the NFL (60.1 combined ppg)... after also being #1 LAST year as well (64.2!). With both of these teams OVER .500 for the season, we’ll start the database querying with this: In the last 2 years, GAME 12’s or greater have gone 20-3-1 O/U when (a) BOTH teams are > .500 (DAL + ARZ), and (b) the OU line is in the range of 42 to 57 points. |

Rating: 2 Units Yes, the Texans just had a 70-point home SHOOTOUT last week, as we cashed a nice, easy one on the OVER (vs the Chargers). But this one is on the road. And Houston ROAD games are the 3rd LOWEST-scoring in the league this year (only 38.5 combined PPG)...right behind New England (36.0) and Denver (37.2). While it’s true that Houston’s offense has scored 39 and 41 points in their last two games, our database tells us that: LESS than ( |

01-02-22 | Jets +1.5 v. Golden Knights | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Winnipeg Jets play their first game in two weeks on Sunday afternoon when they open a three-game western road trip with the Pacific Division-leading Vegas Golden Knights in Las Vegas. The Jets, who enter the contest in fifth place in the Central Division, haven't played since a 4-2 victory over St. Louis on Dec. 19 because of COVID-19 related cancellations. That's enabled interim head coach Dave Lowry, who took over when Paul Maurice surprisingly resigned before a 5-2 loss at the Washington Capitals on Dec. 17, to hold a mini training camp with his squad. Consider that the Jets are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. |

01-02-22 | Indiana v. Penn State +4.5 | 58-61 | Win | 100 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Indiana had its scheduled game on Wednesday against UNC Asheville canceled due to COVID-19 issues within the Bulldogs' program. The Hoosiers, who have won three straight, haven't played since beating Northern Kentucky 79-61 on Dec. 22. Indiana is seeking its first road win of the season, having dropped games at Syracuse and at Wisconsin by a combined seven points in its first two matchups away from home. Consider that the Hoosiers are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 road games and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. While the home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. |

01-02-22 | Devils +1.5 v. Capitals | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New Jersey Devils ended 2021 by winning a game in which they surrendered at least five goals for the first time in almost three years. The Devils' reward to open 2022: one of the league's highest-scoring teams, led by an iconic goal-scorer fresh off adding to his Hall of Fame resume. The Devils will look to extend their winning streak to three games Sunday when they visit the Washington Capitals. Both teams were off Saturday after earning eventful wins on New Year's Eve, when the host Devils squandered four one-goal leads in a matinee before beating the Edmonton Oilers 6-5 in overtime, while Alex Ovechkin's latest milestone goal proved to be the game-winner as the visiting Capitals outlasted the Detroit Red Wings 3-1. Jack Hughes scored with 2:05 left to cap a chaotic win for the Devils, who hadn't won a game in which they gave up five goals since an 8-5 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Jan. 14, 2019. |

01-02-22 | Michigan State -2.5 v. Northwestern | 73-67 | Win | 100 | 4 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The No. 10 Spartans and host Wildcats have exceeded expectations to this point of the season and will look for more when they meet Sunday afternoon at Evanston, Ill. Michigan State (11-2, 2-0) enters on a six-game winning streak, but head coach Tom Izzo doesn't want to hear any boastful talk after the Spartans struggled in an 81-68 win over High Point on Wednesday. Michigan State did play that game against High Point without four players and two starters: Max Christie and Marcus Bingham Jr. They also happen to be two of the Spartans' best defenders. Consider that the Wildcats are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. |

While the Beacons are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games as a home favorite, 12-5 ATS in their last 17 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, and 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games as a favorite. |

01-02-22 | Sharks +1.5 v. Penguins | 5-8 | Loss | -160 | 2 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pittsburgh Penguins, who host San Jose on Sunday, will be trying to emulate the Sharks' results coming out of a long layoff. San Jose has played two games, both wins, after a break because of postponements and the NHL's holiday shutdown, while Pittsburgh will be playing its first game since Dec. 19. The Penguins might need to jog their memory to recall what they were doing before games came to a halt, but it's a good memory. They reeled off seven straight wins before the break despite missing several players to injury. Now they have been dealing with their first COVID-19 outbreak since November -- eight players have gone into protocol in the past week, including No. 1 goalie Tristan Jarry -- but four of them have already cleared, and could be available Sunday in light of the league's switch to five-day, rather than 10-day, self-quarantines in some cases. |

01-02-22 | Dolphins +4 v. Titans | Top | 3-34 | Loss | -110 | 99 h 38 m | Show |
Rating: 5 Unit AFC Game of the Week Miami’s 21-3 win over New Orleans Monday Night was more lopsided than the final score indicated, as the Dolphins outgained the Saints, 259-164, and averaged 1.2 more yards per play. With it, they currently hold down the seventh seed in the AFC playoff picture after Monday night’s win, with two more games left to prove they’re deserving of a postseason berth. With last week’s home underdog win over San Francisco, Tennessee enters today’s fray as the No. 2 overall seed in the AFC playoff picture. After tossing for only 40 yards in the first half against San Francisco last week, Titans’ QB Ryan Tannehill came alive after the break finishing up 22-of-29 for 209 yards and a touchdown. Still, they are just 1-6 ATS as non-division home chalk of 5 or fewer points, while Miami is 17-4 ATS as non-division road dogs of 5 or fewer points. Consider that NFL dogs riding a 7-game-exact win streak are 13-3 ATS since 2002, including 12-1 ATS when coming off a non-division victory. |

01-02-22 | Rams v. Ravens +3.5 | 20-19 | Win | 100 | 99 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Unit Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley, are expected back for today’s fray. The Ravens are 5-2 SUATS home this season,13-2 SU last 15 games versus NFC foes. Enter the Rams, 0-4 SU and 0-3-1 ATS last four games in this series. The Rams are just 2-4 ITS (In The Stats) in their last four overall games, meaning they are not hitting on all cylinders. Making matters worse, QB Matthew Stafford had a horrible game in last week’s 30-23 victory at Minnesota, going 21-of-37 for 197 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. Figure the Black Birds to be in a ‘fowl’ mood after marching down the field on their opening drive to take a 7-3 lead at Cincinnati last week, only to find themselves trailing 31-7 at the half. With the loss they fell to the No. 10 spot in the AFC playoff picture. With their backs to the postseason wall, it’s put up or shut up time for the Ravens. Consider that Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh is 15-8-1 ATS as a dog from Game Fifteen out, including 5-0 ATS when coming off a division contest. In addition, playing on any winning NFL home team coming off four or more losses if they are facing an opponent coming off a win is 8-0 ATS since 1980. |

01-02-22 | Falcons v. Bills UNDER 44.5 | 15-29 | Win | 100 | 74 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This could easily be the most Weather-IMPACTED game on the Week 16 schedule, with the early forecast for rain or snow... 32 to 38 degrees... and WINDS in excess of 16+ miles per hour. Combine that with the league’s #26 scoring offense (Atlanta averages only 18.5 ppg) taking on the league’s BEST (#1) defense (Buffalo allows only 288 ypg and only 17.6 ppg)... and you have the makings of a solid UNDER |

01-02-22 | Chiefs v. Bengals +4 | 31-34 | Win | 100 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bengals enter 4-1 SUATS this season versus .555 or greater foes. The bad news is Burrow has never won three straight NFL contests (0-3 SUATS off consecutive wins). With last week’s rout of the Ravens, Cincinnati swept Baltimore and Pittsburgh for the first time since 2009. Meanwhile, KC QB Patrick Mahomes is 8-1 SU versus AFC North, but only 2-6-1 ATS as a road favorite in games with the better record versus non-division foes. The fact that the Chiefs own the league’s hot-hand brings them into this fray as the favorite. Because of it, they are laying more points here than they did at Las Vegas in mid November. Given the Bengals’ 14-3 ATS log in games when coming off a win when facing AFC West foes, we’re on these live home cats today. |

01-02-22 | Lightning v. Rangers +1.5 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 2 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Rangers spent the first three months of the season building up a strong record with limited exposure against some of the NHL's elite teams. On New Year's Eve, they passed their first test against the Tampa Bay Lightning and seek another win against the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. New York has racked up 44 points while playing only a smattering of games against the East's top three teams of Washington, Tampa Bay and Florida Panthers, posting a 2-2-0 mark. The Rangers' only game against a top-three team in the West was a 3-2 shootout loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Dec. 17. Just 3-4-1 in their past eight games since a seven-game winning streak Nov. 21-Dec. 7, the Rangers bounced back from Wednesday's 4-3 loss at Florida by outlasting Tampa Bay for a 4-3 win on Friday when Barclay Goodrow scored twice against his former team and Mika Zibanejad scored the only goal in the shootout. |

01-01-22 | Warriors v. Jazz -4.5 | 123-116 | Loss | -104 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Unit NBA Play of the Day The Jazz will have veterans Mike Conley Jr. and Joe Ingles back in the lineup Saturday after they sat out of Friday's 120-108 win over Minnesota. Donovan Mitchell, who had missed the two previous games with a back injury, returned to score a season-best 39 points with six 3-pointers. Mitchell looks forward to the matchup of NBA heavyweights. "They are a hell of a team led by a hell of a player, Hall of Famer (Steph Curry)," Mitchell said. "We've got to come out ready and prepared. They've had some time off to lock in on us. We've got to come out there, fight and compete. It's going to be a good one. Let's go." Utah is on a six-game winning streak. Mitchell helped make that happen by igniting the Jazz with 12 points during a 22-0 fourth-quarter run against the Timberwolves on Friday. Consider that the Warriors are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Utah. |
