01-15-22 | Patriots +4.5 v. Bills | Top | 17-47 | Loss | -102 | 23 h 41 m | Show |
New England at Buffalo 8:15 ET Patriots (+) over Bills- The first two meetings between these AFC rivals were totally different as the Patriots dominated the ground game in the first encounter allowing the Bills just 99 yards rushing while accumulating 222 yards on land themselves. Buffalo dominated the the second meetings gaining 428 yards and holding New England to 288 total yards. The Bills who is ranked No. 1 on defense finished the season with four straight wins while the Patriots lost three of their last four. Stat wise the road team is 19-6-2 ATS in the last 27 meetings and the underdog is 5-1-1 ATS in the last six meets. Take NEW ENGLAND! |

01-15-22 | Notre Dame v. Virginia Tech -6.5 | 73-79 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
Notre Dame at Virginia Tech 6:00 ET Hokies (+) over Fighting Irish- This game sets up so well for 'us' as one team's strength plays into the other teams weakness. Virginia Tech has a tradition of playing tough defense and it is no different this season as they allow just 58.4 PPG while Notre Dame is hampered offensively averaging just 70 PPG ranking No. 206 on offense. I like that the Irish posted an upset win at home last time out defeating Clemson while the Hokies fell short against Virginia. ND is 2-7 ATS in their last road nine games while Tech is 7-3 ATS as home favorites. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

01-15-22 | Raiders +6 v. Bengals | Top | 19-26 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 41 m | Show |
Las Vegas at Cincinnati 4:35 ET Raiders (+) over Bengals- Another rematch between of a game played in Las Vegas where the Bengals won 32-13 despite gaining just 278 yards on total defense but took advantage of three Raiders turnovers. Las Vegas has won four straight to get here and it wasn't an easy road with all the turmoil the team faced this season. Derek Carr has passed for a career high 4,804 yards with 23 touchdowns and says that this time they will put their 'best foot forward.' The raiders are 6-2 ATS as road underdogs but are 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings. Cincinnati is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games against teams with winning records and are 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven playoff games. Take LAS VEGAS! |

01-15-22 | Florida State +2.5 v. Syracuse | Top | 76-71 | Win | 100 | 7 h 52 m | Show |
Florida State at Syracuse 3:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Orange- Six weeks ago on December 4 Syracuse handed the Seminoles their first home loss in 25 games winning 63-60. The Orange have lost five of eight since then but have five players averaging double-figures including both Boeheim's. Florida State has won 4-of-5 including a non-cover win over rival Miami on Tuesday but are a nightmare on the road where they are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 away from Tallahassee. The 'Cuse' is 1-7 ATS in the last eight games following a win. Take FLORIDA STATE! |
|||||||
01-15-22 | Arkansas +6.5 v. LSU | 65-58 | Win | 100 | 6 h 55 m | Show | |
Arkansas at L.S.U. 2:00 ET Razorbacks (+) over Tigers- LSU is 10-0 SU at home and are off a win at Florida and have won three straight SEC games since opening with a loss to Auburn. The Tigers have done it with defense allowing just 56.5 PPG ranking No. 5 in the nation. Arkansas is trending the other way as they had lost 5-of-6 before defeating lowly Missouri last time out. The Razorbacks are 0-2 on the road losing their only true road games to Texas AM and Mississippi State. This time around the 'Backs' get the money. Take ARKANSAS! |
|||||||
01-14-22 | Mavs +2.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 112-85 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
Dallas at Memphis 10:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Grizzlies- The contest will feature two of the NBA's brightest stars with the Mavericks Luka Doncic leading the charge for Dallas and Ja Morant for Memphis. The Grizzlies are the hottest team in the NBA having won 11 straight while the Mavs just got wasted in New York 108-85 by the Knicks and I expect them to rebound here as they are 6-0 ATS in their last six game following a SU loss. Considering how these guys are playing this seems like a very short 'price.' The Grizz are hot and on a great run but they are still just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as home favorites. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
01-14-22 | Cavs v. Spurs +3.5 | Top | 114-109 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Cleveland at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Cavaliers- The Spurs have lost four straight games, 8-of-9 and are nine games under the break even mark but they are a plus against the 'number' as they are 22-19 ATS on the season. Cleveland of course leads the NBA with a 27-14-1 ATS record and are the most improved team in the league. San Antonio has had their way against the Cavaliers as they are 65-34 all-time including 40-9 SU record at home. After a blazing start to the season the odds maker is catching up to the Cavs as they are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games as favorites and 2-5 ATS in their last seven games on the road. Spurs have bounce back abilities as they are 8-3 ATS after an ATS loss. Take SAN ANTONIO! |
|||||||
01-14-22 | Hawks +4.5 v. Heat | 118-124 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Miami 8:00 ET Hawks (+) over Heat- It was about this time last season when Atlanta turned it all around and ran itself to the No. 5 seed and first round playoff win over New York. But, this year it seems unlikely as the Hawks have lost three in-a-row 7-of-10 and 9-of-12 and are off a 115-91 home beating by the Heat on Tuesday. Miami, has won three straight and 8-of-10 and most of this was done without Jimmy Butler which lets you know just how well the Heat are coached but they are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games as favorites and 0-6 as favorites at home in their last six as hosts. Hawks are 33-16 ATS after a double-digit loss. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
01-14-22 | Suns v. Pacers +5.5 | 112-94 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
Phoenix at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Suns- It appears that the Pacers have hit a lull as they have dropped 8-of-9 while Phoenix has won 4-of-5 and have a league low nine losses on the season. In an oddity the Suns are 7-3 ATS at Indiana but the Pacers are 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings overall and 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 home games. Caris LeVert has returned to the Pacers lineup and that should help. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
01-13-22 | Wolves +5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 108-116 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 37 m | Show |
Minnesota at Memphis 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Grizzlies- Memphis is on a franchise high 10-game winning streak as Ja Morant is establishing himself as an All-Star for the first time. Minnesota just had their 4-game win streak end in New Orleans Tuesday and look to post their second win over Memphis the first coming in November. The T'wolves are 6-0-1 ATS as road underdogs in their last seven and are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games. Despite their record setting streak the Griz are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as home favorites. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
01-13-22 | Ohio State +3.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 68-78 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 41 m | Show |
Ohio State at Wisconsin 7:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Badgers- These two rivals met in early December and the Buckeyes prevailed in Columbus 73-55 and that was they last time the Badgers lost. Wisconsin has won five in-a-row since that loss as they lead the nation in fewest turnover committed a game at 8.2. In the first meeting the Buckeyes has a 49-28 rebounding advantage and I'm sure that will change but just by how much. The Buckeyes are 7-2 ATS in their last night as road dogs and 11-5 ATS in their last 16n road games overall. Whisky is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 6-2 in their last eight games as favorites. Still, take...OHIO STATE! |

01-12-22 | Lakers v. Kings +3.5 | 116-125 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Lakers- This is fourth and final meeting of the regular season between these two California clubs as the Kings took the first meeting in 3 OT's but Los Angeles rebound with a pair of wins in the last two meetings. LeBron James says the 'Lakers are 'playing their best ball' of the season and are 4-1 SU in their last five games with the loss last time out against Memphis. The Kings have dropped five straight and are just 8-21-1 ATS hosting the Lakers in their last 30 visits to the state capital. Lakers just 7-9 SU on the road and Kings hungry for a win. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
01-12-22 | Mavs v. Knicks +2.5 | 85-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
Dallas at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Mavericks- New York who hasn't played to the level expected this year after last season's emergence to the 4th seed in the East are one-game under .500 at the midpoint and haven't been even since December 7. Dallas has run off six straight wins but will be without Kristaps Porzingis and Willie Cauley-Stein and coach Jason Kidd who is in COVID protocol. The Mavericks have been outstanding on the road going 11-5 ATS in their last 16 away from home and 5-2 ATS as road favorites. The Knicks starting to jell are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
01-12-22 | Hornets +5.5 v. 76ers | Top | 109-98 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
Charlotte at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over 76ers- Since returning from a three week COVID absence the 76ers and Joel Embiid has scored 30 points or more in seven straight games all Philadelphia victories. Charlotte has won three straight including a pair of wins over the NBA Champs Milwaukee and have their best half-way mark (22-19) since 2001. The Hornets are No. 2 in total points averaging 115.2 PPG and are shooting 37.7% with their 3-point attempts. Charlotte has been a money maker and is 15-7 ATS as underdogs and 14-4 ATS against teams with winning records. Sixers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
01-12-22 | LSU v. Florida -2 | 64-58 | Loss | -117 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
L.S.U. at Florida 7:00 ET Gators (+) over Tigers- If gators and tigers were to fighting in the jungle I would give the Tigers a chance but this game is in the Swamp where the Gators thrive. Florida is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games and LSU is 20-6-1 ATS in their last 27 games overall. Florida has lost five of their last eight games and are 0-2 in SEC play and have lost a pair to ranked teams Auburn and Alabama, this time they get the prize. Take FLORIDA! |
|||||||
01-12-22 | Duke v. Wake Forest +6 | 76-64 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
Duke at Wake Forest 7:00 ET Demon Deacons (+) over Blue Devils- Duke like so many other schools build resume with their early season home games and rarely take to the road. The Blue Devils have had one road game and lost that at Ohio State 71-66 as a beaten 3-point favorite. The Demon Deacons are 10-0 SU at home and Duke is 5-12 ATS in their last 17 road games. Enough said for this battle...take WAKE FOREST! |
|||||||
01-12-22 | Clemson +3 v. Notre Dame | Top | 56-72 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
Clemson at Notre Dame 7:00 ET Tigers (+) over Fighting Irish- A pair of hot ACC clubs clash in South Bend where the Fighting Irish who have won five straight games host Clemson who has won five of six. Notre Dame is 6-0 SU at home while the Tigers have won their last two on the road against Virginia and N.C. State. The Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall and the Irish are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 at home and are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games following a SU win. Take CLEMSON! |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Nuggets v. Clippers +2.5 | 85-87 | Win | 100 | 13 h 32 m | Show | |
Denver at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Clippers (+) over Nuggets- Los Angeles is struggling winning just four of their last 13 games and coach Tyronn Lue is just waiting for the return of Leonard and George. The Clippers will be up against the league's MVP Nikola Jokic who is double and even triple teamed by opponents to no avail. Denver is 3-8 ATS after a SU win and are 2-6 ATS as favorites. L.A. is 11-5 ATS as home underdogs. Take the CLIPPERS! |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Wolves v. Pelicans +3.5 | 125-128 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
Minnesota at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Timberwolves- The Timberwolves are riding high having scored a season high 141 points Sunday against Houston their fourth straight win. Minnesota has been impressive on the road as they are 12-6-1 ATS in their 19 away games while the Pelicans have lost four of five games and are off a loss Sunday at Toronto. The Pels are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games and they are 11-8 ATS as hosts on the season. Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Warriors v. Grizzlies +2.5 | Top | 108-116 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show |
Golden State at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Warriors- This is one game that will be worth the price of admission as Steph Curry and Ja Morant are very 'special' players. Numbers aside did you catch the block made by Morant against the Lakers the other night...one of the most impressive plays I have ever witnessed in professional sports. Memphis is running with Ja and has won nine straight and the Grizzlies are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games as underdogs. Take the GRIZZLIES! |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Miami-FL v. Florida State -6.5 | 64-65 | Loss | -106 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
Miami-Fl at Florida State 8:00 ET Seminoles (-) over Hurricanes- What we are hearing now is that Miami-Fl is unranked despite winning nine straight games and defeating No. 8 Duke and are 5-0 in the powerful ACC. Now, the Hurricanes take to the road where they are 3-0 SU against rival Florida State who has been disappointing this season (8-5) to date. Florida State is 5-1 SU at home and are 7-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records. The Canes have been tough but this 'price' is way too high and it looks like Miami is the sucker play...hence. Take FLORIDA STATE! |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Iowa State v. Kansas -12.5 | 61-62 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
Iowa State at Kansas 8:00 ET Jayhawks (-) over Cyclones- To start with I think that is 'line' is outrageously high as Iowa State is 13-2 and is ranked No. 11 and yet is a double-digit underdog. The Cyclones are off a loss at Oklahoma and Kansas is off a loss at Texas Tech. What makes this 'price' even more ridiculous is that Iowa State is 6-1-1 ATS as underdogs but, the favorite is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and the Jayhawks are 34-15-2 ATS in their last 51 games after a SU loss. Take KANSAS! |
|||||||
01-11-22 | Kentucky v. Vanderbilt +8 | Top | 78-66 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 32 m | Show |
Kentucky at Vanderbilt 7:00 ET Commodores (+) over Wildcats- No. 18 Kentucky has relied on 'home' cooking to boost their record (12-3) as they are 11-0 when in the comforts of the Bluegrass state but they are not the same away from Rupp Arena. The Wildcats don't have to leave the state for tonight's game in Nashville against intra-state rival Vanderbilt. Like many rivalries this is an underdog series as they have gone 15-5-2 ATS in the last 22 meetings and they Commodores are 10-3-4 ATS in their last 17 games as underdogs. The Wildcats are 5-12 ATS against teams with winning records. Take VANDERBILT! |
|||||||
01-10-22 | Cavs v. Kings +5.5 | 109-108 | Win | 100 | 13 h 35 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Cavaliers- The biggest turn-around in the NBA this season has to be the play of the Cavaliers who are an amazing 26-13-1 ATS and are 11-9 SU on the road. Cleveland's improved play can be attributed to a stuffing defense that allows just 102.4 points ranking No. 2 in the league. Despite the Cavs have started to slip a bit and are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games overall and 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings. The Kings are still a work in progress but get the money here. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
01-10-22 | Pacers +7 v. Celtics | 98-101 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
Indiana at Boston 7:30 ET Pacers (+) over Celtics- This is the first of a two-game set that will end on Wednesday with both clubs coming off uplifting victories and a parade of losses. Indiana had dropped six in-a-row until beating Utah on Saturday and the Celtics won a revenge game against the Knicks after losing 5-of-6. Boston swept (3-0) the season series last year and are 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings in Beantown. The Pacers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five road games and the Celtics are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as favorites and 2-8-1 ATS after a SU win. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
01-10-22 | Bucks v. Hornets +2.5 | 99-103 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Bucks-It was two short days ago 'we' posted the Hornets (+1.5) as a 114-106 outright Megabucks winner over Milwaukee and it looks like more of the same to me. The Bucks have now dropped 3-of-4 while Charlotte has won four of their last six. These two are the No. 2 and No. 3 scoring teams in the NBA and yet the 'Under' is 5-1 in the last six meetings and the Bucks are 1-8 ATS in their last nine games in Charlotte. Hornets 7-1 ATS in their last eight as home underdogs and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 home games overall. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Chargers v. Raiders +3 | 32-35 | Win | 100 | 27 h 13 m | Show | |
L.A. Chargers at Las Vegas 8:20 ET Raiders (+) over Chargers- Hard to believe after all that they have been through that the Raiders are poised to make it to the playoffs with a win in Las Vegas. Concerns over the volume of 'local' money can hurt the Vegas Sports Books to accept a liability. But when I look at this game I see the Chargers as the 'public' choice and that's not good for them in big games. Experience might be the key to the outcome and Derek Carr has it and Justin Herbert is now getting it. The underdogs is 18-7 ATS in the last 25 meetings and they should get the money against here. Take LAS VEGAS! |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Bulls v. Mavs +3.5 | Top | 99-113 | Win | 100 | 11 h 5 m | Show |
Chicago at Dallas 7:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Bulls- With the addition of coach Billy Donovan the Bulls are doing it everywhere posting a 12-6 SU record on the road and 14-4 at home. They are 21-9 ATS in their last 30m games as favorites including 14-6 ATS as road favorites and 9-3-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Dallas. But, one thing to remember is that these trends were accumulated when the Mavericks were good and Chicago was always an underdog. The rolls are reversed her and so is the result. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Wisconsin v. Maryland +1.5 | Top | 70-69 | Win | 100 | 11 h 57 m | Show |
Wisconsin at Maryland 7:30 ET Terrapins (+) over Badgers- It came as a surprise to me that the Big Ten's leading scorer plays for Wisconsin as they have always had the defense first mentality. Johnny Davis leads the Badgers with 22.6 points per game and they have won four straight including wins over Purdue and Iowa with their only losses coming when Davis was sidelined with a minor injury. Maryland is hungry for the first conference win (0-3) having lost at Iowa and Illinois the last two times out. Take MARYLAND! |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Patriots v. Dolphins +6.5 | Top | 24-33 | Win | 100 | 24 h 29 m | Show |
New England at Miami 4:25 ET Dolphins (+) over Patriots- It has been 22 years since the Dolphins won a playoff game and it won't happen this season either as they have missed the playoffs for the fifth straight year. New England has an outside chance of winning the AFC East if the Bills tank against the Jets in Buffalo but don't count on it. The Pats are aware of this and could be caught scoreboard watching and that won't help as they already have troubles in Miami where they are 2-7 ATS in their last nine trips to South Beach. Fins looking to finish above .500 and rebound from their horrible outing at Tennessee last week as they are 10-2 ATS after allowing 30 points of more the previous week. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Jets v. Bills -16 | 10-27 | Win | 100 | 24 h 49 m | Show | |
Blowout Game of the Week New York Jets at Buffalo 4:25 ET Bills (-) over Jets- Here it is my second 'Blowout Game of the Week' the first ended with a 59-21 Ohio State win. I could give you a lot of junk like the Jets have the worst defense allowing 396 YPG and Buffalo is No.1 in defense allowing just 276 YPG. New York is also last in points allowed with 30 and are heart broken the way they collapsed in the final minute against Tampa Bay a game in which they never trailed and lead until the final seconds. Bills stampede New York and ground the Jets to clinch the AFC East. Take BUFFALO! |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Seahawks +5.5 v. Cardinals | 38-30 | Win | 100 | 23 h 38 m | Show | |
Seattle at Arizona 4:25 ET Seahawks (+) over Cardinals- Arizona came up big last week against Dallas and clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 2015 and they did some celebrating. Seattle also won big last week big their was celebrating as the Seahawks close a dreadful season having won three of the last five games. Russell Wilson's injury aside Seattle's defense has been terrible ranked 30th of the 32 NFL teams but they are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games as underdogs and 11-5 ATS on the road as dogs. Arizona is 9-24 ATS iN their last 33 as home favorites. Take SEATTLE! |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Washington Football Team v. Giants +7 | 22-7 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 42 m | Show | |
Washington at New York Giants 1:00 ET Giants (+) over Former Football Team- Gotta, love it...the 'Clown Show of the Week' happens in New York where the Giants are 7-17 ATS in their last 24 as home underdogs. While the Giants have been a 'Clown Show' on the field (last week passing for -10 yards) Washington has been more physical on the sidelines with their own teammates than on the field. The Giants coach isn't the only one being chastised by the media the players are feeling it as well. 'Team to be Named' later is 2-7 ATS as favorites. Take the GIANTS! |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Steelers v. Ravens -3.5 | 16-13 | Loss | -107 | 20 h 40 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh at Baltimore 1:00 ET Ravens (-) over Steelers- Okay, hats off to Big Ben and for pulling off their final hoo-rah in Pittsburgh as we all realize that it is the end of the line for a great QB. The Ravens on the other hand have lost four straight and like the Steelers are virtually out of the playoffs with wild scenarios needed to sneak in. Baltimore has lost five straight with three games by one point and another by two in their five games. Despite this game instilling some playoff hopes the Steelers should be emotionally spent after last week's win over the Browns. Although this is an underdog series the Ravens are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 at home and are favored with a 2nd string QB that hasn't had a winning start. Think about that...Take BALTIMORE! |
|||||||
01-09-22 | Bengals v. Browns -5.5 | 16-21 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 27 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at Cleveland 1:00T Browns (-) over Bengals- With both starting quarterbacks sidelined for this season finale the Bengals are most assuredly trying to get out of Cleveland without any mishaps. The Browns have been eliminated from the playoffs and Baker Mayfield is already under the knife while the Bengals Joe Burrow is mending on the sidelines. It doesn't matter to me who starts for who here at QB it's a matter of Cincinnati looking ahead to the playoffs while the Browns try and avoid a double-digit loss season. The line is telling you how this one should go. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Cowboys -4.5 v. Eagles | Top | 51-26 | Win | 100 | 31 h 45 m | Show |
Dallas at Philadelphia 8:15 ET Cowboys (-) over Eagles- So, you tell me, who is going to play? How many guys are hurting and how many more are on COVID list and who is ready after coming off the list are factors that surround this contest. But, basically after getting beat they way they did to Arizona I can see the Cowboys riding into town and ringing that Liberty Bell as the Eagles come back win last week clinched a playoff spot but they have been hard hit and are infections. Note the Cowboys are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games and the favorite is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings.Take DALLAS! |

01-08-22 | Florida +7.5 v. Auburn | 73-85 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
Florida at Auburn 8:00 ET Gators (+) over Tigers- No. 9 Auburn (13-1) has won 10 in-a-row with their only blemish coming against Connecticut in overtime. The Tigers average better than 80 points per game while the Gators hang their hat on defense where they allow 61.7 PPG. Florida battle Alabama last time out and faltered in the second half losing 83-70 while the Tigers have clawed LSU and Auburn in their last two outings. I look for this one to be more competitive. Take FLORIDA! |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Jazz v. Pacers +2.5 | 113-125 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
Utah at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Jazz- Utah was without eight players last night as they were an 11-point underdog at Toronto and 'we' took advantage and posted the Raptors as a Power Play winner. All but two players are expected back for the Jazz but the biggest return to action was by Lance Stephenson who scored 30 points in the Pacers 129-121 loss to Brooklyn on Wednesday. Jazz just 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings and just 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites. Pacers are 9-2 ATS as home underdogs. Take INDIANA! |

01-08-22 | Tennessee +2 v. LSU | 67-79 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
Tennessee at L.S.U. 6:00 ET Volunteers over Tigers- A 'no quit' attitude and staying tough in the clutch gave Tennessee a 16.5-point favorite a come back overtime win over Mississippi Wednesday night. LSU was a Megabucks winner Tuesday defeating Kentucky 65-60 bouncing back from a loss at Auburn. So, here is LSU 13-1 including 9-0 at home and they are barely the favorite as host against the Vols. The underdog is 19-6 ATS in the last 25 meetings and Tennessee is 4-0 ATS after an ATS loss and the Tigers are 15-5-1 ATS at home which makes this line suspect. Take TENNESSEE! |

01-08-22 | Iowa State v. Oklahoma -5.5 | 66-79 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
Iowa State at Oklahoma 6:00 ET Sooners (+) over Cyclones- Talk about 'Don't Make Sense'...this is it. No. 11 Iowa State (13-1) invades Norman as a heavy underdog to a Sooners team that is just 4-14 ATS at home including 2-10 ATS as home favorites. But, the home team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. With unranked Oklahoma favored as they are the oddsmaker is telling 'us' the Cyclones will subside. Take OKLAHOMA! |

Notre Dame at Georgia Tech 6:00 ET Yellow Jackets ( ) over Fighting Irish- When Notre Dame comes to town it is always a big deal and Atlanta will be humming tonight as the Fighting Irish fresh off wins over Pittsburgh and North Carolina bring their 1-7 ATS road record with them. After a 5-1 start to the season Georgia Tech has dropped six of seven but are hosting a mediocre N.D. squad that is 2-9 ATS as favorites and 5-15 ATS in their last 20 games overall. Take the YELLOW JACKETS! 5 |

01-08-22 | Baylor v. TCU +10 | 76-64 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
Baylor at T.C.U. 5:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Bears- Owners of the nation's longest win streak Baylor has won 20 straight while TCU has won seven straight with their only blemish coming against Santa Clara in the SoCal Challenge. The Bears are on an incredible run and are 15-6-1 ATS as road favorites while the Frogs are 6-18-2 ATS in their last 26 home games. I look for both of those trends to come back to the center. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |

01-08-22 | Chiefs v. Broncos +11.5 | 28-24 | Win | 100 | 27 h 1 m | Show | |
Kansas City at Denver 4:40 ET Broncos (+) over Chiefs- Right now at 11-5 Kansas City os the No. 1 seed in the AFC and that first round bye is a great luxury and advantage. As double-digit favorites they should feel very confident despite blowing a 14-point lead in the loss at Cincinnati last week as they have defeated the broncos 12 straight times. Denver has lost three straight and was eliminated from the playoffs last week with their loss to the Chargers. 'We' has the Chiefs (-9) 22-9 in the first meetings this season although the Broncs out-gained KC 404-267 in total yards. A reversal of fortune this time as the dog gets the money. Take DENVER! |

Memphis at L.A. Clippers 3:30 ET Clippers (+) over Grizzlies- Memphis has won seven straight games and is off a 30-point rout of lowly Detroit with Ja Morant averaging 27 points, 6.3 assists and 6.2 rebounds since his 9-game return from injury. Los Angeles has been floundering dropping their last two and 7-of-10 and has been a .500 or there about club all season. The Clippers are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games as home underdogs. Take LA CLIPPERS! |

01-07-22 | Hawks +3.5 v. Lakers | 118-134 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
Atlanta at L.A. Lakers 10:00 ET Hawks (+) over Lakers- A change has taken place of late with the Lakers as LeBron James has on more ball handling responsibilities and the result is wins and a dramatic drop in turnovers. The best thing that can happen tp Los Angels is to get the ball out of Westbrooks hands as he alone averages over five turnovers a game. Trae Young is returning after a 56-point effort and four others return to action for the Hawks tonight who are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games and the Lakers are 8-18 ATS as home favorites. Take ATLANTA! |

01-07-22 | Xavier v. Butler +4.5 | 87-72 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 18 m | Show | |
Xavier at Butler 8:30 ET Bulldogs (+) over Musketeers- No. 22 Xavier certainly has the better club this season as their 11-2 record will attest as Butler at 8-5 has struggled have lost three times by 20-points or more. This game is listed as a home game for the Bulldogs but it is being played at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Both clubs are off Big East losses as the Musketeers fell to No. 6 Villanova on December 21 the last time they played and Butler lost to No. 24 Seton Hall at home on Tuesday. Xaviers is 0-4 ATS as road favorites and the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take BUTLER! |

01-07-22 | Mavs v. Rockets +3 | Top | 130-106 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 9 m | Show |
Dallas at Houston 8:00 ET Rockets (+) over Mavericks- Dallas celebrated their Dirk Nowitzki honor Megabucks victory over Golden State Wednesday and have now won four straight. The Rockets blasted off against Washington last time out winning 114-111 breaking an eight game SU and ATS losing streak. Houston came to life after coach Silas suspended Kevin Porter and Christian Wood for one game and they responded. I'm looking for a Mavericks letdown after their heralded win and a spirited effort from the Rockets. Take HOUSTON! |

01-07-22 | Jazz v. Raptors -11.5 | 108-122 | Win | 100 | 10 h 35 m | Show | |
Utah at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors (-) over Jazz- If you do a double or triple take when you first see the 'line' on this game I wouldn't be surprised. The send out 'price' was Utah -3 but this morning Toronto opened a double-digit favorite. Thinking how can this be as the Jazz have won 10 straight on the road and have defeated the Raptors the last three times that they have played. But, A-Ha...five Utah players have been ruled out for the game gutting their roster as 4-of-5 are starters. Take TORONTO! |

01-07-22 | Marquette v. Georgetown +2.5 | Top | 92-64 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
Marquette at Georgetown 6:30 ET Hoyas (+) over Golden Eagles- The former Warriors were a big winner for 'us' (Power Play) Tuesday as they pounded a tough No. 16 Providence squad 88-56 while the Hoyas last played on December 18 losing to TCU. Georgetown has been idle nearly three weeks and this is their conference opener as they had four Big East games postponed and had their first week of practice since a week before Christmas. I don't believe that Marquette can repeat the kind of performance they had against the Friars and the Hoyas should be chomping at the bit to get into action. Take GEORGETOWN! |

Iowa at Wisconsin 9:00 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Badgers- No. 23 Wisconsin just posted a huge 74-69 win over No. 3 Purdue and will host Iowa who average 87.4 PPG. Since dropping three in-a-row in December Iowa has won four straight and have won the last four meetings with the Badgers with the road team going 2-0-2 ATS. The Hawkeyes are 6-1 ATS after a SU win and are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Take IOWA! |

Golden State at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Warriors- If this isn't a typo there is something 'rotten in Denmark.' You have got to be kidding me with this opening line at New Orleans where the NBA's best is a meager favorite against one of the league dregs. My lone release yesterday 'we' posted Dallas over the Warriors and won our Megabucks and in that contest Steph Curry was injured and is not expected to play. The Pelicans have dropped their last three and 4-of-5 while Golden State is 1-4 ATS against teams with losing records.Take NEW ORLEANS! |

01-05-22 | Heat v. Blazers +2 | 115-109 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 50 m | Show | |
Miami at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Heat- I hate it, I really do, but there is no way getting around having to play 'against' the Heat. I know that they are well coached and it's probably a mismatch between Eric Sopelstra who always has his team ready to play through all kinds of adversities. Portland is a different teams than years' past and now we get to see why it took so long for Chauncey Billups to get a job. But, the heart and sole of this South Beach Crew is Jimmy Butler and he left the game against the Warriors last time out with an ankle injury and will be down for at least a week. Blazers are 5-2 ATS at home against the Heat...take PORTLAND! |

North Carolina at Notre Dame 9:00 ET Fighting Irish (+) over Tar Heels- After slow starts to the season both of these clubs have picked up their play as North Carolina is 3-0 in true road games and have won 7-of-8 while the Fighting Irish are 5-0 SU at home. Notre Dame (7-5) has won their last three and 4-of-5 but are 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games ATS. This is just a game the Irish should be primed for although they are 4-15 ATS in their last 19 games overall. Take NOTRE DAME! |

01-05-22 | Texas Tech +4 v. Iowa State | 47-51 | Push | 0 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
Texas Tech at Iowa State 9:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Cyclones- Looks like 'we' will need a turn-about in this contest if 'we' are to come out with a victory. Texas Tech take to the road for just the second time in 12 games played and they are 0-1 in true road games losing at Providence 72-68 on Dec. 1. Iowa State, meanwhile is 9-1 SU at home with their lone loss on New Year's Day to No. 1 Baylor 77-72. There will be a huge difference in styles as the Red Raiders are averaging 78.2 PPG while the Cyclone defense allows just 57.7 PPG. State is just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games as home favorites. Take TEXAS TECH! |

01-05-22 | Creighton v. Villanova -10.5 | 41-75 | Win | 100 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
Creighton at Villanova 8:30 ET Wildcats (-) over Blue Jays- Here is Villanova 9-4 and still ranked No. 19 and I believe that even with four losses the Wildcats are given respect because nine of their 13 games have been played on the road. One of their losses came at Creighton three weeks ago and the Wildcats are ready to get a bit of revenge here as they are 5-1 ATS in their last six as home favorites. Creighton is just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games and 2-5 ATS after an ATS win. Take VILLANOVA! |

01-05-22 | Warriors v. Mavs +5 | Top | 82-99 | Win | 100 | 4 h 38 m | Show |
Golden State at Dallas 7:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Warriors- Ok, a little different but basically the same thing here as with the Steelers salute to Big Ben they 'play' for their guy and win. Tonight, on exhibit in Dallas tonight where one of rie own is being honored. Adam Silver among other will be present as the No. 41 jersey of Dirk Nowitzki is being retired. Emotion may play a part of the play as both teams enter playing well but the Warriors are 3-7-1 ATS in the last 11 games following a straight up win and just 2-8 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Take DALLAS! |

01-05-22 | VCU +3.5 v. Dayton | 53-52 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
Virginia Commonwealth at Dayton 7:00 ET Rams (+) over Flyers- These two Atlantic-10 clubs are both defensive clubs that are limited on the offensive end of the floor. VCU allows just 56.7 PPG ranking 5th in the nation while Dayton is not as impressive allowing 64.4 PPG but still a decent number. Although this is a favorite (8-3 ATS) and home team series (10-1 ATS) the Rams can break through all that as they are 5-0 ATS in their last five road games and the Flyers are 2-5 ATS as home favorites. Take VCU! |

01-05-22 | Pittsburgh v. Louisville -12 | 72-75 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh at Louisville 7:00 ET Cardinals (-) over Panthers- Hey guys, I'm not kidding here but this 8-5 ATS team, the Pitt Panthers may be the worst Big East team to suit up this year. The Panthers score just 61.2 PPG ranking 338 and have lost to The Citadel, Monmouth and U. Maryland Baltimore County. Louisville is already 3-0 in conference play and the home team is series 4-1 ATS and the favorites own this series going 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings. The Cardinals like to beat on the little guy as they are 19-9-1 ATS against teams with losing records. Take LOUISVILLE! |

L.S.U. vs Kansas State 9:00 ET Wildcats (-) over Tigers- There are just two many questions surrounding the LSU program right now including players availability along with coaches coming and going among others. Offensive line coach Brad Davis will serve as interim coach replacing 2-years removed National Champion Ed Orgeron and starting quarterback Max Johnson has transferred and his backup is questionable. Kansas State has sixth year QB Skylar Thompson leading the attack and looking for his first bowl victory. Their last time out I labeled LSU as my SEC Game of the Year a 27-24 OUTRIGHT winner over Texas A&M. With all that happening around them the Tigers still have bite as they are 6-0 ATS against the Big-12 and they are 5-1 ATS in their last six bowl games and it is the SEC versus the Big-12.

Vanderbilt at Arkansas 8:30 ET Commodores over Razorbacks – Moving in different directions Vanderbilt won their last three games before the New Year break while the Razorbacks have lost 3-of-4. The Commodores make it the Final in the Diamond Head Classic in Hawaii but the game had to be cancelled when Stanford claimed sickly and they have had 12 days off.

Phoenix at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Suns- Because of the health protocols Phoenix has been playing short-handed but with four players down it didn't stop them from trouncing the Hornets in Charlotte as they finish a three game trip that started with a loss at Boston on New Year's Eve and they have dropped 3-of-5 overall. The Pelicans have been spotty but are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games and 7-3 ATS as their last 10 as home underdogs. Suns just 2-5 ATS after a 10-point win. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Kentucky at L.S.U. 7:00 ET Tigers over Wildcats- Kentucky off a big Tubby Smith honoring last Friday crushed under-manned High Point 92-48 and it says two things and that is the Wildcats like to beat up on the little guy and Tubby Smith's better days are behind him. Shooting 60% against that talent level is no go great accomplishment as they embark on just their second true road game of the season. In their first road attempt at Notre Dame (We win Megabucks) they lost outright 66-62 as a 5-point favorite and the same should happen here tonight as they are 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine road games. Tigers are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 home games. Take LOUISIANA STATE! |

Illinois at Minnesota 7;00 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Fighting Illini- Illinois was ranked, I think they were ranked, yes I'm sure they were ranked and I posted on and against them when they played Iowa and Arizona and won them both. The Fighting Illini are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as road favorites and 1-5 ATS when playing against teams with 60% or better winning percentage. Add that the Golden Gophers are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as underdogs and the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take MINNESOTA! |

Florida State at Wake Forest 7:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Demon Deacons- It's difficult to gage just how good some of these college teams are right now or how good they should be right now as the virus has slowed down a number of programs. One of which is Florida State as they had 17 days of inaction and at 7-4 SU and it is hard to be impressed. Wake Forest at 11-3 SU should be by all rights a much bigger favorite at home where they are 8-0 SU and 5-2 ATS as favorites. To compound the strangeness of this low 'price' the Seminoles are 0-7 ATS in their last seven road games. I think that this one smells and look for the Deacons to get scalped by the Seminoles!

Minnesota at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Clippers- The Timberwolves are beginning to look like a real basketball team after years of ineptitude but a recent swoon losing five of six has them under .500 again. Los Angeles is off a win over Brooklyn Saturday night as a 13-point underdog and return home winning 2-of-3 on the road. Minnesota is 5-0-1 ATS in their last six games as road dogs and 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Clippers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games and 2-8 ATS as favorites.

Atlanta still have five players in protocol and will be without coach Nate McMillan while Portland with be without their dynamic guard duo of Lillard and McCollum along with four others in protocol. The Trailblazers are in a funk and have lost four straight and 14 of 17 and are 1-8 ATS in their last nine home games. Take ATLANTA! |

Cleveland at Pittsburgh 8:15 ET Browns (+) over Steelers- With Cincinnati winning the AFC North a pair of also ran who still have playoff hopes clash in Pittsburgh. Cleveland (8-7) was the favorite in the division before the season began has dropped their last two games both by two points while the Steelers are still alive at 7-7-1. Pittsburgh has gone 2-4-1 SU in their last seven games and I believe that that are the imposter. Although the Browns are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings but the underdogs is also 4-1 ATS in the last five meets. The Steel Curtain has been exposed as the Steelers are 1-8 ATS as home favorites. Take CLEVELAND! |

Charlotte was crushed by the Sun Sunday ending a 3-game win streak and is 7-1 ATS after a SU loss, while the Wizards' loss (but covered) against Chicago at the final horn Saturday.

Phoenix at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Suns- It happens to all professional teams and it appears to be happening to Phoenix right now as they have hit a bit of a lull. Teams no matter how good or bad have streaks where they are just not in sync and that is happening to the Suns right now as they have lost 3-of-4 and this off course after an 18-game winning streak. Part of the problem is that the Suns have between five and seven player on and off the COVID list. Charlotte is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 home games and are 5-2 ATS against the Suns in the last seven meetings. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Miami signed Mario Chalmers and Chris Silva to 10-day contracts on Friday in order to have enough players to meet the NBA's requirements. Besides the COVID list, the Heat is also without two-time All-Star Victor Oladipo (quadriceps); one-time All-Star Bam Adebayo (thumb surgery) as well as role players Dewayne Dedmon (knee); Markieff Morris (neck); and KZ Okpala (wrist).

Indiana is also on a three game slide and are off a 108-106 buzzer beating loss to Chicago Friday night but are happy to be in Cleveland.

Arizona at Dallas 4:25 ET Cardinals (+) over Cowboys- Okay, now I saw why they mored the Rams/Ravens to a 1pm start as they moved this Waterloo Game in week 16. Arizona who started so fast winning their first seven are stumbling before the playoffs are now seeded fifth. Dallas has clinched the East but has some stay healthy while waiting for No. 1 seed Green Bay to fall (fat chance). If the Red Birds don't win here I truly think that that are 'done' and I have many close to me that have been saying it for weeks. To me, if they can't pit it together here then they are 'done.' Take ARIZONA! |

The Hoosiers have yet to win a road game (0-2) and are 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine road games overall. Add that the home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take PENN STATE! |

Michigan State at Northwestern 2:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Spartans- No. 10 Michigan State is on a six-game wining streak and has been playing short-handed because of virus protocols but will be a full strength for the first time in two weeks. Northwestern hasn't played since their 90-50 win on December 20 against Ill-Springfield and are 1-0 in Big Ten action. The Wildcats are 6-0 SU at home and the home team is 6-0 ATS in their series. Spartans don't like the Sunday routine going 1-5 ATS in their last six at the weeks end. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

Philadelphia at Washington 1:00 ET Swampers (+) over Eagles- Yes the Eagles are soaring winning five of their last six and they currently hold the final NFC playoff spot at 8-7. During that streak they faced four back-up QB's, Zach Wilson and Teddy Bridgewater. Washington will present a dual challenge as Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen will share the quarterback duties. At 6-9 the Football Team still has a shot at the playoffs and they remember how they got in the playoffs last season (Philly laid down) and this year they can beat Philadelphia on merit. Take WASHINGTON! |

01-02-22 | Rams v. Ravens +6.5 | 20-19 | Win | 100 | 5 h 26 m | Show | |
L.A. Rams at Baltimore 1:00 ET Ravens (+) over Rams- I can't not do it...I can not pass on the Ravens here no matter who their quarterback may be. To start with why has been this game been moved from a 4:25 ET start to 1:00pm. I would say that if I am a Ravens fan I could be happier as west coast teams play early games on the east coast don't fare very well. I would not quit on these Black Birds as they fly highest when the least is expected of them. Rams are 0-3-1 ATS in the last four meetings and Ravens are 15-5-1 ATS in last 21 games as underdogs.

Golden State at Utah 9:10 ET Jazz (-) over Warriors- I feel like I'm going to the dentist each time I play against Golden State because I'm in fear that I will get 'drilled' by the best shooter I have ever seen and that of course is Steph Curry. I mean really how can you play against him...I know, get his teammates riled about some obscure issue and Draymond Green a great player but a rabble rouser and has his mates concerned with the rescheduling of postponed games. Meanwhile, Utah has won six straight and aims to continue their fine play against the warriors going 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Take UTAH! |

Sugar Bowl, New Orleans, Louisiana 8:45 ET Baylor vs Mississippi Bears (+) over Rebels- Baylor is going to try and run the ball and they should be able to if all goes to Hoyle. The Bears run for 215 yards a game and Mississippi's defense allows 183 YPG ranking them 102 in the nation against the run. But, what the Rebels do have is an offense that averages 507 YPG which is 4th nationally. The Bears are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games as underdogs and are 43-21 ATS in their last 64 games against winning teams. As successful as Mississippi is they are only 3-10 ATS on field turf but still 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight bowl games. Take BAYLOR! |

L.A. Clippers at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets (-) over Clippers- Despite having the best record in the Eastern Conference Brooklyn's play by most accounts have been inconsistent not that with all the traffic and drama surrounding their Diva's actions. But, their no questioning their talent just their motivation at times and their fragile egos. The Clippers are a mess as once again start players have taken to lay-back LA genre and now to New York City where they eat Californian's for lunch and the Nets will chow down on the Clippers here. Over the past two weeks, almost the entire Nets roster entered the protocol, forcing the team to scramble to fill roster spots and resulting in three postponements. One of the hardest-hit teams the Brooklyn Nets and will be at relatively full strength Saturday night. Take BROOKLYN! |

01-01-22 | Bulls v. Wizards +2 | 120-119 | Win | 100 | 9 h 0 m | Show | |
Chicago at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Bulls- Both of these clubs have been dealing with COVID issues as the Wizards welcome the return of Bradley Beal form protocol. Chicago despite their issues (Lonzo Ball is out) have won six straight games while Washington is off a win at Cleveland. The Bulls have been point spread wonders and are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games as favorites 8-1 ATS in their last nine trips to DC but, they hate Saturday's going 14-29 ATS while the Wiz are 5-1 ATS on Saturday's. Take WASHINGTON! |

01-01-22 | Utah +4.5 v. Ohio State | Top | 45-48 | Win | 100 | 19 h 10 m | Show |
Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA 5:00 ET Utah vs Ohio State Utes (+) over Buckeyes- Does The Ohio State University really even want to be here! I mean they never even go to the Big Ten Championship game lost to Michigan to close their regular season and end up with the consolation prize the Rose Bowl which is pretty good if you represent the Big Ten as champions and not as also rans. Utah closed the season in a flurry and hammered an Oregon team twice that beaten the Buckeyes in their season opener. OSU lead the nation in total offense (551 YPG) and the Utes strength is their No. 13 ranked defense allowing just 317 YPG. There has been too much time between games for offenses to remain sharp. The numbers (stats) will mean nothing here, what will matters is the players incentive and I don't believe that the Buckeyes have it. Take UTAH! |

01-01-22 | Providence v. DePaul +1.5 | 70-53 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 18 m | Show | |
Providence at DePaul 3:00 ET Blue Demons (+) over Friars- At 12-1 and winners of their last seven games Providence is starting to receive attention especially after their back-to-back wins over Seton Hall and Connecticut. Traveling to Chicago to play DePaul who appears to be revived after years of doldrums the Friars have a 34-13 all-time series edge. The Blue Demons dropped both meetings last year including a 70-62 loss in the Big east tourney but the underdogs is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. With the history of this series this 'line' seems awful short and the Friars are 3-13 ATS as road favorites. Take DEPAUL! |

01-01-22 | Kentucky v. Iowa +3 | 20-17 | Push | 0 | 15 h 16 m | Show | |
Citrus Bowl, Orlando, Florida 1:00 ET Kentucky vs Iowa Wildcats over Hawkeyes- This one has me a bit confused as I loved a side at first jump and now have had to consider other options. When I saw Iowa as a 1-point favorite my thinking was that the Hawkeyes are in trouble. After all who is the football school, who was fighting for the Big Ten championship it was the Hawkeyes and I thought that they look too inviting and that Kentucky was the side.But not so fast...Wildcats ran for 471 yards last time out and Iowa was embarrassed 42-2 by Michigan. I see the Hawkeyes playing with that bad taste in their mouth and they don't like it. Take IOWA! |

Fiesta Bowl, Glendale, Arizona 1:00 ET Oklahoma State vs. Notre Dame Cowboys (+) over Fighting Irish- There is a circumstance where coaches with bowl experience against coaches in their first bowl appearances have a major advantage and that should put Oklahoma State and coach Mike Gundy in the driver's seat. Marcus Freeman to the Fighting Irish player delight was name head coach after Brian Kelly flew the coop to LSU. Cowboys defense allows third lowest offensive yards a game at 273.6. Irish will have to 'fight' to move the ball. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

01-01-22 | Arkansas v. Penn State +2.5 | 24-10 | Loss | -100 | 15 h 49 m | Show | |
Outback Bowl, Tampa, FL 12:00 ET Arkansas vs Penn State Nittany Lions (+) over Razorbacks- At 8-4 No. 21 Arkansas is ranked above 7-5 No. 23 Penn State and rightfully so. The Razorbacks impressed the public early with a smash mouth win over Texas A&M while running for over 200 yards but, there is more to this team as they passed for 224 yards a game, not great but displaying great balance on offense. Hogs are 2-5 ATS in last seven as favorites and 5-11-2 ATS in non-conference games. Penn State is ranked 7th in points allowed with just 16.8 a game and were disabled this season when Sean Clifford when down. He's healthy now and the 'Backs are in trouble. Lions are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 non-conference games. Take PENN STATE! |

Orange Bowl, Miami, Florida 7:30 ET Georgia vs Michigan Bulldogs (-) over Wolverines- I like this game so much that I'm going to attend it and cheer on my CFP Game of the Year winner Georgia. I do this without predication as it was I that posted Michigan as My Big Ten Game of Yea winner over Ohio State and I who posted Alabama OUTRIGHT over Georgia for SEC Championship winners. The 'price' on this one is an invitation to play on a team (Michigan) that won their biggest game in school history (Ohio State) and last time out won the Big Ten Championship 42-3 over Iowa. Now, 'they' tempt you with generous points that will not come onto play. Take GEORGIA! |

12-31-21 | Hawks +1 v. Cavs | Top | 121-118 | Win | 100 | 9 h 19 m | Show |
Atlanta at Cleveland 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Cavaliers- This 'price' sticks out like I just don't know what but it drew my attention. Here is Cleveland is the best point spread team in the NBA and the Hawks are racked with COVID have lost three straight and 10-of14 and this game is a virtual pick-em. It doesn't make sense to me that the Cavaliers should be such short favorites at home against a sick team that is struggling and is 0-5 ATS in their last five trips to the Erie based city of Rock and Roll. The Cavs lost Ricky Rubio for the season with an injured ACL and fall here. Take ATLANTA! |

12-31-21 | Cincinnati +14 v. Alabama | 6-27 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
Cotton Bowl, Dallas, Texas 3:30 ET Cincinnati vs Alabama Bearcats (+) over Crimson Tide- Tough call after what we have seen Heisman Trophy winner Alabama QB Bryce Young do the Georgia but the Bearcats believe that they have the best secondary in the nation and are ready to meet the challenge. Cincinnati is undefeated (13-0) and ranks dead even with the Tide in total defense at 305 yards allowed per game each. Of course the Crimson played a at different level of competition. But, it has been stated, 'boys that they have to put on their pants one-leg-at-a-time.' Bearcats 6-0 ATS against teams with winning records while the Tide are 2-5 ATS after an ATS win. Take CINCINNATI! |

Chicago at Indiana 3:00 ET Pacers (+) over Bulls- It just seems to get better a s the season rolls along with Chicago as they have just won their fifth straight game shooting 62% against Atlanta Wednesday night. Indiana on the other side has dropped their last tow and 3-of-4 and will be without Malcolm Brogdon and three other in COVID protocol along with Bulls coach Billy Donovan. These two have split a pair of meetings this season but the Bulls are just 5-11 ATS in the last 16 meetings including 3-7 ATS in Indiana. Take the PACERS! |

Phoenix at Boston 1:00 ET Celtics (+) over Suns- The struggling Celtics have lost three in-a-row and eight of its last 11 games and are off one of the worst shooting nights in the season losing at home to Oklahoma City 115-97. Boston may be a bit short handed here as Jason Tatum is expecting to come of COVID protocol list and Marcus Smart will be ready. Phoenix has had their way ATS in Boston because for the most part previously the Suns were bad and the Celts good. Boston is 22-9-1 ATS in their last 32 games as home underdogs. Take BOSTON |

Las Vegas Bowl, Las Vegas, Nevada 10:30 ET Arizona State vs Wisconsin Sun Devils (+) over Badgers- What bothers me here is how well the Badgers travel. I seen them in road games, I've seen them in bowl games and their faithful always show up strong so don't think that the proximity of Tempe to Las Vegas will matter. What I do think will matter is the overall team speed of Arizona State and I must respect their coaching. Wisconsin started the season slowly and came on until their final game that kept them out of the Rose Bowl...they could give a crap about playing here and that's the Sun Devils best chance. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

Philadelphia at Brooklyn 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Nets- The Nets welcome the return of Kyrie 'Flat World' Irving and at this time any kind of warm body will do as Brooklyn has had three games postponed and have five players coming out of COVID protocol. Irving will be joining James Harden who returned last week to action. 76ers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games as road underdogs and the Nets are 1-7 ATS in their last eight home games and 0-7 ATS as home Favorites. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Peach Bowl, Atlanta, Georgia 7:00 ET Pittsburgh vs Michigan State Panthers (+) over Spartans- Big stars gone for both sides as the Spartans leading rusher and All-American Kenneth Walker III winner of the Doak Walker and Walter Camp Player of the Year Awards. Pittsburgh will be without quarterback Kenny Pickett and with his announcement the line more from the Panthers being a 3-1/2 point favorite to a 3-1/2 point underdog as many feel the loss of the QB would have more impact. But actually with the Panther sunder-rated defense able to take advantage of the worst pass defense in the nation. Take PITTSBURGH! |

Michigan at Central Florida 7:00 ET Knights (+) over Wolverines- Michigan has been on an extended break because of COVID issues and hasn't played since December 18 but were not showing what was expected of them in the early going. Central Florida is 8-2 with coach Johnny Dawkins seeking their fifth straight win. Wolves are 10-3 ATS as road favorites but 1-4 ATS after a win while the Knights are 6-1 ATS following an ATS loss. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |

Music City Bowl, Nashville, Tenn 3:00 ET Tennessee vs Purdue Boilermakers (+) over Volunteers- I can't get away from it, they Boilermakers have been good to me as winners against Iowa, Nebraska and Michigan State and then getting killed by Ohio State (Blowout Game of Year 59-31 winner). Things have changed as Purdue has had a number of top offensive producers bow out and the number has moved more than a touchdown. As long as O'Connell is playing for the 'Steel Workers' you have a shot. Take PURDUE! |

Dallas at Sacramento 10:30 ET Kings (+) over Mavericks- A pair of struggling clubs both of rare wins go at it in Sacramento where the Kings will host Dallas who are off a win at Portland but had lost four of their previous five. The Kings ended their own three game slide with a 117-11 home win over the Thunder last night. The Mavericks won the first meeting in Texas 105-99 on October 31 but the Kings swept the series last year including a pair of wins at home. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Alamo Bowl, San Antonio, Texas 9:15 ET Oregon vs Oklahoma Ducks (+) over Sooners- Man, knowing what must be happening on the sidelines of both schools could be the key to winning this game. Oregon and Oklahoma both saw their coaches enter the transfer portals and move to other spots of paradise. The Sooners were undefeated and knocking on the FCS door and then ran into Baylor and Oklahoma State, alas here they are without their coach and original All-American QB (gone) while the wounded Ducks look to recover from a pair beating to Utah. Ducks at their highest were ranked better than Oklahoma at any point of the season. Take OREGON! |

The Hurricanes started slow (4-3) but now reeled off five straight wins but have failed to cover in their last three. Struggling against the number (2-12 ATS last 14) the Wolfpack are 6-2 ATS in their last eight as road underdogs. Add that the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and that Miami is 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 games as favorites including 2-8-1 ATS as home favorites. Take N.C. STATE! |
