15* SHARP PLAY on Samford +1½ -110

The Bulldogs (+1.5) are worth a look here as a small home dog against Chattanooga in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the Southern Conference. Samford snapped their 4-game losing streak with a 82-78 win at home against Western Carolina and Look for them to stay hot against the Mocs, who come in having lost 4 of their last 6. It's important to note that Samford is playing their 4th straight at home and are 10-2 ATS last 3 seasons after playing their previous 2 games at home. Play the Bulldogs +1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on St Bonaventure -2½ -110

St. Bonaventure (-2.5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against VCU in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the Atlantic 10. The Bonnies are one of the best teams in the A-10 this year and simply put should be a bigger favorite in this spot. VCU is a solid team, but are getting a little too much love having won 8 of their last 9. They have failed to cover each of their last 3 games. Also, home favorites (Bonnies) that have won and covered 3 straight as a favorite of 7 or more and are playing a team that won their last game but failed to cover as a favorite are 30-8 (79%) ATS since 1997. Play St. Bonaventure -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on CS Bakersfield +2 -109

CS Bakersfield (+2) is worth a look here as a small dog against Hawaii in Saturday's rematch. These two teams played last night and the Roadrunners took home the win 60-55. That's now 4 straight wins for Bakersfield. Rainbow Warriors couldn't get anything going offensively last night and I don't expect it to be any better in the second go around. If anything I think the Roadrunners win even easier in the rematch. Play CS Bakersfield +2! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Hawaii -1½ -110

The Rainbow Warriors (-1.5) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against CS-Bakersfield in Friday's late night action on the college hardwood. Hawaii has only played 4 games and while the first two were cupcakes, they did show well in their two games at UC-Riverside. They won the first matchup 88-83 as a 6-point dog and while they lost the rematch they covered as a 5-point dog in a 68-70 loss. Big home court edge for Hawaii and I fully expect them to take this one. Play the Rainbow Warriors -1.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Miami-FL -2 -105

The Hurricanes (-2) are worth a look as a small road favorite against Boston College in Tuesday's ACC action on the college hardwood. Miami comes in at 5-5, but injuries really hurt them early on. The Hurricanes have been playing much better of late, despite a 1-3 record in their last 4 games. The 3 losses in this stretch were a 2-point setback at Va Tech, a 1-point loss at home to Clemson and a 2-point loss at home to UNC. They snapped the losing streak on Saturday with a 64-59 upset win at NC State. Look for Miami to stay hot against a BC team that just can't figure out how to win games. The Eagles are just 2-9 and 0-5 in ACC play. Play the Hurricanes -2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Utah +3½ -110

The Utes (+3.5) are worth a look as small home dog against the Buffaloes. The books are begging you to take Colorado here. Utah comes in having lost 3 straight and are just 1-3 in Pac-12 play. Thing is two of those losses came on the road to UCLA and USC. The other was a mere 6-point home loss to Oregon. Utah is going to be the much more motivated team here at home in desperate need of a win, while the Buffs could be in for a bit of a letdown off their big win over the Ducks. Play Utah +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nebraska +7 -108

Nebraska (+7) is worth a look here as a near double-digit home dog against the Hoosiers. It's been a rough go for the Cornhuskers in Big Ten play. Nebraska is winless in conference play at 0-4, but they did just cover at home against Michigan State and while they didn't cover in losses at Wisconsin and at home against Michigan, they were right there in both games. They lost by 14 as a 13.5-point dog at Wisconsin and by just 11 at home to Michigan as a 7.5-point dog. This is also a tough spot for Indiana playing their second straight on the road and playing on just two days of rest after that grueling double-overtime loss at Wisconsin. Play Nebraska +7! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Miami-OH -7 -108

The RedHawks (-7) should have no problem covering as a decently priced home favorite against Northern Illinois in Saturday's college hoops action out of the MAC. Big get right game for Miami (OH) coming off back-to-back losses and the Huskies are just the team for them to get right against. Northern Illinois is a mere 1-8 on the season and that lone win came against an awful Chicago State team that is ranked No. 356 in KenPom. Play the RedHawks -7! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Richmond -5 -108

The Spiders (-5) are worth a look as a short road favorite against George Mason in Saturday's early college hoops action out of the A-10. Richmond has yet to string together back-to-back wins in conference play and you can bet that's going to be on their minds, as they look to build off Wednesday's big win at home over Rhode Island. The Patriots are just not on the same level as the Spiders and I really think they will struggle to even make a game of it. Richmond can play their "C" game and still beat George Mason by 6 or more. Play the Spiders -5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Rutgers -2½ -108

Rutgers (-2.5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against Ohio State in Saturday's early college hoops action out of the Big Ten. This is just too good a price to pass up with the Scarlet Knights at home. Even more so when you factor in how motivated Rutgers is going to be for this game coming off back-to-back losses dropping them to just 3-3 in Big Ten play after they started out 3-1. Ohio State is better than expected, but are just 2-3 in conference play with a 0-3 mark on the road. Buckeyes just aren't built to win away from home in this league, especially against a top tier team like the Scarlet Knights. Play Rutgers -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Maryland +5 -110

Maryland (+5) is worth a look here as a decently priced home dog against Iowa in Thursday's Big Ten matchup. As good as the Hawkeyes have been, winning on the road in this conference is no easy task. It's not an ideal spot for Iowa coming off a huge road win against a ranked Rutgers team. Hawkeyes could also be without starter Connor McCaffery. While McCaffery doesn't score a lot, he does all the dirty work and is by far the Hawks best post passer. Look for the Terps to give Iowa all they can handle in this one. Play Maryland +5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on West Virginia PK -110

The Mountaineers (PK) are worth a look here as a pick'em on the road against Oklahoma State. West Virginia is one of the best teams in the country. They are 8-3 with their 3 losses coming against Gonzaga, Kansas and Oklahoma. The most recent was against the Sooners. They just dug themselves too big a hole early, falling behind 38-20 at the half. They rallied but just didn't have enough in the tank, losing 71-75. Expect a much better start in this game. Also, bit of a letdown spot for Oklahoma State coming off a huge upset win on the road in OT against Texas Tech. Play West Virginia PK! 

20* SHARP PLAY on St. Peter's -5½ -105

St. Peter's (-5.5) is worth a look in Friday's MAAC matchup at Canisius. The Peacocks are hands down the better team in this one and winning by 6 here won't be a problem. The Golden Griffins are just 1-3 on the season and have lost 3 straight. The two most recent being a 18 point and 28 point loss to Monmouth, who is rated worse than the Peacocks at KenPom. Play St. Peter's -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on San Diego +14 -105

The Toreros (+14) are worth a look here as a double-digit dog against San Francisco. San Diego comes into this game at 1-3, while the Dons are 6-4. I just feel it has SF laying a few more than they should be against a conference foe. Not to mention the Dons are in a massive lookahead spot with a trip to No. 1 Gonzaga on deck Saturday. Play San Diego +14! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Butler +6 -115

Butler (+6) is worth a look in Wednesday's college hoops action. These two teams played last Wednesday at Butler and the Bulldogs won that matchup 70-64. I'm not saying Butler will pull of the sweep and win this one too, but I just can't pass up on the 6-points with the Bulldogs in this one. There's a chance Butler could be even stronger for the rematch, as Aaron Thompson, one of their best players, is questionable to return after missing the last 3 games. Play the Bulldogs +6! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Mercer -2 -111

Mercer (-2) is worth a look as a slim home favorite against Wofford in Tuesday's college hoops action. The Bears have been impressive early on. Mercer is 7-1 with their only loss coming by single digits on the road to a good Georgia State team. Wofford has lost 3 of their last 4 and have just one win vs a D-I opponent and that was against a sub-par Coastal Carolina team. Play Mercer -2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Minnesota +1½ -110

The Gophers (+1.5) are worth a look here as a home dog against the Spartans. I get Michigan State is 0-2 and are desperate for a win, but they are 0-2 for a reason and it's extremely tough to win on the road in the Big Ten, especially when you play as little defense as what the Spartans have played so far in conference action. Minnesota just pulled off a big home upset against an elite Iowa team and I think they ride that momentum to a win here. Play Minnesota +1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Northern Iowa -8 -108

Northern Iowa (-8) is worth a look in Sunday's Missouri Valley action that has the Panthers hosting Missouri State. UNI has gotten off to a disappointing 1-4 start, but a big reason for that is their schedule was brutal to start the year. All 4 losses have come against teams who could be playing in the NCAA Tournament in WKU, St. Mary's, Utah St and Richmond. They were competitive in all 4 losses. The Bears are 3-0, but have played nobody and are really outclassed in this one. A motivated and desperate UNI team should have no problem here winning by double-digits. Play the Panthers -8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cleveland State -1 -108

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

20* SHARP PLAY on Wisconsin -1½ -110

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

15* SHARP PLAY on South Florida -2½ -108

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

15* SHARP PLAY on Ball State -5 -108

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

20* SHARP PLAY on Western Illinois +5½ -115

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

15* SHARP PLAY on Oklahoma State +8½ -110

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

15* SHARP PLAY on Drake -5 -114

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

20* SHARP PLAY on San Francisco +8 -113

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

15* SHARP PLAY on Marshall -6½ -108

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

20* SHARP PLAY on Georgia State -4½ -108

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

15* SHARP PLAY on San Diego -5 -108

San Diego (-5) is worth a look here as a short road favorite against Col Poly. This is just feels like a great time to buy low on the Toreros. This is a talented team, but come in 0-2 after opening the season with games at UCLA and home vs Nevada. Cal Poly is 2-2, but one of those wins was a cupcake non-DI opponent and the other was against a bad San Jose State team. I look for the Toreros to win and win easy. Play San Diego -5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Furman +6 -105

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

20* SHARP PLAY on Loyola-Chicago +9½ -115

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

15* SHARP PLAY on Clemson PK -110

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

20* SHARP PLAY on Maryland -1½ -110

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

20* SHARP PLAY on Marshall -3 -110

The Thundering Herd (-3) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against Ohio. Marshall returns all 5 starters from last year and are a perfect 3-0 to start the new season, including an impressive 16-point win over a quality Wright State team. Ohio is a decent team and are 4-1 with their only loss by 2 to Illinois, but too much value here to pass up with the Thundering Herd. Play Marshall -3! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Wright State +3 -110

Wright State (+3) is worth a look here as a small road dog against Bowling Green. Big time system in play favoring the Raiders. Road teams with a line of +3 to -3 who are coming off a blowout win by 20 or more against an opponents that has scored 75 or more in 3 straight games are 42-15 (74%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Play Wright State +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Valparaiso -2½ -110

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

20* SHARP PLAY on Rider +3 -108

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

15* SHARP PLAY on Appalachian State +5 -108

The Mountaineers (+5) are worth a look as they visit Charlotte on Friday night. These two teams played last year and Appalachian State won by 9 at home. This is an even stronger Mountaineers squad in 2020. On the flip side, I think the 49ers are down a notch or two from last season. Winning on the road is also a lot easier with all the limitations on fans. All things considered, I think App State should be favored here. Play the Mountaineers +5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cal-Riverside -7 -120

UC Riverside (-7) is worth a look here at this price. The Highlanders should have no problem winning by double-digits on the road against Northern Arizona. The Lumberjacks have only played one game and were absolutely destroyed by Arizona 96-53. UC Riverside lost to a quality Pacific team in their opener, but fired right back with a 15 point upset win against Washington and cruised to a 20-point victory over Denver in their last game, who I would say is pretty equal in terms of talent to Northern Arizona. Play the Highlanders -7! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Marshall -5½ -108

The Thundering Herd (-5.5) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against Charleston. Marshall is a team that got better and better as last season progressed and return all 5 starters. Charleston on the other hand returns just 1 starter from a team that only won 17 games and was a mere 4th in the Colonial Athletic. I really think Marshall should be laying at least double-digits in this one. Play the Herd -5.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Evansville +4½ -107

The Purple Aces (+4.5) are worth a look as a home dog against Eastern Illinois. Evansville has gotten off to a rough start, losing each of their first 3 games, but could easily be 2-1 with a 3-point loss in one defeat and a 2OT setback in another. Eastern Illinois is just 2-3 and while they have played some quality teams tough, their only wins are against Chicago St and Green Bay (2OT). Too much value to pass up with the home team in this one. Play Evansville +4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on TCU -2½ -108

TCU (-2.5) is worth a look here as a slim home favorite against the Friars. I think this line reflects a lot of what these two teams were a year ago and not what they are this season. Providence lost two of their best players and have not looked great early on with blowout losses to both Indiana and Alabama. TCU on the other hand is much improved and it's shown early as they are 4-1 with their only loss by 4-points to a top tier Oklahoma team. Play TCU -2.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Duke -4 -105

The Blue Devils (-4) are worth a look as they host Illinois. This might seem like a big number with how hyped this Fighting Illini team was coming into this season, but we just saw Illinois come up way short in a big showdown with Baylor, losing 82-69. Duke might not be as loaded as they have been, but there's no denying they still have a ton of talent. Play the Blue Devils -4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Penn State +6 -115

The Nittany Lions (+6) are worth a look as a pretty decent sized underdog against the Hokies. Virginia Tech is 4-0 and have that big overtime win over No. 3 Villanova, but I don't think they should be laying this many points against an equally talented Penn State team. Nittany Lions only loss came in OT to a good Seton Hall team. I wouldn't be shocked at all if Penn State won this game outright. Play the Nittany Lions +6. 

15* SHARP PLAY on Kent State +1½ -110

The Golden Flashes (+1.5) are worth a look here at basically a pick'em against Detroit. The Titans are getting a lot of love for playing a couple close games against Michigan State (76-83) and Notre Dame (70-78), but I just think that was more of those teams not really giving Detroit their full attention. You can say the same thing about Kent State, who in their last game only lost by 7 as a 18.5-point dog to Virginia. I just feel in terms of talent the Golden Flashes are the better team and should not be a dog here. Play Kent State +1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Middle Tennessee PK -110

The Blue Raiders (PK) are worth a look at a pick'em on their home floor against Chattanooga. Middle Tennessee lost their first two, but got back on track in their last game with a 78-61 win over Murray State, which was their toughest test to date. The Mocs are 3-0, but have not played a team inside the Top 200 of the KenPom rankings. Blue Raiders should be a much bigger favorite here. Play Middle Tennessee PK! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Oklahoma -2½ -108

The Sooners (-2.5) are worth a look here as a slim road favorite against TCU. I think Oklahoma is flying a bit under the radar. Sooners were better than anyone expected last year and returned a lot from that team. They didn't play their first game of this season until this past Thursday and they destroyed UTSA 105-66. TCU is 4-0, but haven't played anyone. Play Oklahoma -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Western Illinois +9½ -108

The Leathernecks of Western Illinois are worth a look as a big home dog (+9.5) to Central Michigan. There's just no way the Chippewas should be laying this kind of number, as they are sitting at 0-3 themselves. Leathernecks only loss was to Iowa and while it was ugly, they just had no answer for Luka Garza (41 points). Central Michigan doesn't have anyone close to Garza's ability. It will be much easier on both sides of the ball for the Leathernecks. Play Western Illinois +9.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Bradley PK -110

Bradley is worth a look as a pick'em on their home floor against South Dakota State. The Braves are one of the top teams in a top heavy Missouri Valley Conference and are off to a strong 3-1 start with their only setback being a 1-point loss on the road against Xavier. South Dakota State comes in off a big win over a Big 12 team in ISU, but are playing their second road game in 3 days. Jackrabbits haven't played a home game yet and this will be their 5th game since opening the season last Wednesday. Play Bradley PK! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Marquette +4 -109

Our biggest bet on the college hardwood Friday is on Marquette +4 at home against Wisconsin. I don't know that the Golden Eagles should be this big a dog on their home floor. Marquette let a lot of backers down in their last game as a small favorite against Oklahoma State. They came up short in a 8-point loss and more than anything they just didn't shoot the ball well. Wisconsin is 3-0 but have played absolutely nobody with their 3 wins against E Illinois, Arkansas Pine Bluff and Green Bay. Also big revenge spot for Marquette after losing by 16 at Wisconsin a year ago. Play the Golden Eagles +4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Washington +8 -110

The Huskies (+8) are worth a shot as they take on Utah in Pac-12 play on Thursday. No one is going to want anything to do with Washington after watching them get absolutely destroyed by Baylor 86-52 and then lose 57-42 in their next game to UC Riverside. Utah hasn't played a game yet and I just don't think there's a whole lot that separates these two teams. Definitely not enough that the Utes are a near double-digit favorite. Play the Huskies +8! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Baylor -3 -112

I got a ton of love for this Illinois team. They are one of the best teams in the Big Ten, but I just think the Bears are on a whole different level. I think they are out to prove to everyone that they should be the No. 1 team. Baylor was just that last year and brought almost everyone back. Play the Bears -3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on West Virginia +9½ -110

The Mountaineers (+9.5) are worth a look as a near double-digit dog against Gonzaga. Now is the perfect spot to sell high on the Bulldogs. Everyone wants to back Gonzaga being they are the No. 1 team and have won and covered each of their first two games rather easily. This is a tough matchup for the Bulldogs against a talented, deep and experienced West Virginia team. Play the Mountaineers +9.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Kansas -3½ -112

Kentucky is playing a ton of freshmen and I think that's a much harder task than it has been in the past with how limited practices were in the offseason. In time the Wildcats will be a quality team, but I expect a lot of struggles early and we just saw them lose at home to Richmond. While the Spiders are a good team, that's not a team you expect Kentucky to lose to. Kansas showed me a lot against Gonzaga. Play the Jayhawks! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Michigan State +4 -113

The Spartans are worth a look as a small dog (+4) against the Blue Devils. It's not often Michigan State isn't one of the Big Ten teams that are getting all kinds of love coming into a season. I think that makes Tom Izzo's team a dangerous opponent. I know they lost Winston, but there's plenty of talent on board and this looks like a much deeper team than they had a year ago. Duke has some freshmen studs as usual, but I have to give the edge to the Spartans in this one. Play Michigan State +4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Seton Hall -20 -110

The Pirates should have no problem covering the number (-20) as they host Iona. The Gaels are simply getting too much respect because of Rick Pitino being the head coach. Won't shock me if Pitino turns around that program, but this is not the year to make massive improvements. Iona is outclassed and on top of that Seton Hall is going to be extremely motivated having lost their opener 70-71 at Louisville. Play the Pirates -20! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Mercer +4 -110

The Bears (+4) are worth a look as they host Georgia State on Monday. Both teams have started 2-0 and both have a common opponent in Georgia Tech. The Panthers beat the Yellow Jackets 123-120 in a 4OT thriller, while Mercer beat them 83-73. I just think this line should be closer to a pick'em. Play the Bears +4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on South Alabama -5 -108

South Alabama (-5) is worth a look as a small favorite on the college hardwood against Jacksonville State. The Jaguars are 2-0 and have really shot the ball well out of the gate. SA is averaging 81.5 ppg on 51.8% shooting from the field and 50.0% shooting from deep. Look for the Jags offense to carry them to an easy win at home on Sunday. Play South Alabama -5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on SE Missouri State +8½ -110

The Redhawks (+8.5) are worth a look here in their season opener against UM Kansas City. The Roos have put up a ton of points in their first two games, beating two inferior teams 105-35 and 138-97, respectively. I just think it has them a bit overvalued here. I not only think SE Missouri State can keep it within the number, but I give them a legit shot at winning this game outright. Play SE Missouri State +8.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Colorado -6 -108

The Buffaloes (-6) are worth a look here as a slim favorite against the Wildcats. This K-State team is expected to remain in the basement of the Big 12 and they didn't do much to change anyone's mind with a 10-point loss at home to Drake in their opener. Colorado on the other hand won and covered as a 17-point favorite against South Dakota. Look for the Buffs to win here by double-digits rather easily. Play Colorado -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Santa Clara -7 -108

The Broncos (-7) are worth a look as they take on UC-Davis. Santa Clara defeated Idaho State 62-49 in their opener and covered in that one as a 11.5-point favorite. The Aggies lost 93-101 as a 3-point favorite to Nicholls State. Home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points who are off a cover as a double-digit favorite and playing a team that lost as a favorite are 37-13 (74%) ATS last 5 seasons. Play Santa Clara -7! 

15* SHARP PLAY on UCLA -6½ -110

UCLA (-6.5) is worth a look as they will be extremely motivated to not start 0-2 after getting embarrassed in their opener by San Diego State 73-58 as a 3-point favorite. I wasn't all that surprised with that result. The Aztecs are no joke. I still really like this UCLA team and I see them having no problem winning by double-digits against Pepperdine. Play the Bruins -6.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Nevada +3½ -109

Nevada (+3.5) is worth a look here as a dog against the Cornhuskers. I just think we are getting a good price with the Wolf Pack due to Nebraska coming off a convincing 102-55 win over McNeese. This is a Cornhuskers team that lost a lot from last year and doesn't figure to be a serious contender in the Big Ten. Steve Alford's squad has a great shot at winning outright. Play Nevada +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Gonzaga -4 -115

No. 1 ranked Gonzaga (-4) is definitely worth a look as slim favorite against No. 6 ranked Kansas. I just feel like the Jayhawks are getting way too much respect coming into the year. Chances are Bill Self will end up molding this team into one of the better teams in the country, but they have to replace two studs in point guard Devon Dotson and big man Udoka Azubuike. I know Gonzaga also lost some guys, but they got more proven pieces coming back. I look for the Bulldogs to win this one rather easily. Play Gonzaga -4! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Liberty +11 -110

Liberty (+11) is worth a look here as a double-digit dog against the Boilermakers. It's just the Flames football team you have to watch out for. Liberty's hoops team went 30-4 last year. While they lose 3 starters, they got talent coming back and we know this team will show up on the defensive end. Purdue is in a bit of a transition year and I think they could struggle out of the gate without a go-to guy on the offensive side of the ball. Play Liberty +11! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Drake +7½ -110

Drake (+7.5) is worth a look here as a decently priced dog against what I think is a bad Kansas State team. The Wildcats were the worst team in the Big 12 a season ago and it doesn't look like this season will be any better. Drake had one of their better players, but they got plenty coming back and I really like their coach. Darian DeVries has been with the team two seasons and guided them to back-to-back 20-win campaigns for the first time since the early 70's. Play the Bulldogs +7.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Memphis -5½ -112

Memphis (-5.5) is worth a look here against St. Mary's in Wednesday's college basketball opener for both teams. I like what Penny Hardaway is doing with this team. Who knows how good the Tigers would have been had James Wiseman not got hurt. Memphis still went on to win 21 games. They return 4 starters and 7 guys who played 13 min/game, plus add in a 5* freshman center in Moussa Cisse. St Mary's is coming off a great season, but they lost 3 of 5 starters. I just don't see the Gaels keeping pace in this one. Play Memphis -5.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Abilene Christian +1½ -110

We will gladly back Abilene Christian at basically a pick'em here against East Tennessee State. The Wildcats return 4 starters from a 20 win team. The Bucs went 30-4 last year, but lost all 5 starters from that team. East Tenn State is way overvalued coming into this season. Play Abilene Christian +1.5! 

20* N CAROLINA/VA TECH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on North Carolina -2½ -105

My money is on the Tar Heels to cash in a win and cover as a slim 2.5-point favorite against the Hokies. This is just too good a price to pass up on UNC. While the Tar Heels are off a loss to rival Duke, they had won their previous 3 games and have to feel after two close calls with the Blue Devils that they can win this thing and that's the only way they are getting into the big dance. Hokies started out the season strong, but really struggled down the stretch. BET THE TAR HEELS -2.5! 

20* C MICHIGAN/OHIO CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Ohio -5½ -105

My money is on the Bobcats to cash in a win and cover as a 5.5-point home favorite in Monday's 1st round action out of the MAC Tournament. Easy play here on Ohio. Central Michigan won their regular-season finale against fellow bottom feeder Western Michigan, but had lost 9 straight prior to that victory. Bobcats opened up just 2-7 in MAC play, but closed out the year 6-3 over their final 9 conference games. BET OHIO -5.5! 

20* PEPPERDINE/ST. MARY'S CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pepperdine +7 -108

My money is on the Waves to cash in a cover as a 7-point dog against St. Mary's in Saturday's third round action out of the WCC Tournament. Pepperdine knocked off Santa Clara 84-73 as a 2.5-point favorite last night, improving to 10-2 ATS over the last 3 seasons on a neutral court. Waves are also 7-1 ATS this season on the road against a team with a winning record. BET PEPPERDINE +7!

20* YALE/DARTMOUTH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Dartmouth +7 -108

My money is on Dartmouth to cash in a cover as a 7-point dog against Yale in Friday's college hoops action. The Big Green are rolling right now. Dartmouth has won 5 of their last 6 games and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5. Yale has won 4 straight, but are constantly overpriced, going 1-4 ATS last 5 games. BET THE BIG GREEN +7! 

20* CAL POLY/LONG BEACH ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cal Poly +5½ -108

My money is on the Mustangs to cash in a cover as a 5.5-point road dog at Long Beach State in Thursday's college hoops action. This might seem like a favorable price for Long Beach against a Cal Poly team that is 7-21 on the season. Thing is Long Beach is 1-6 ATS last 7 vs a team with a losing record and 0-5 ATS last 5 vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their games. BET THE MUSTANGS +5.5! 

15* WASHINGTON/ARIZONA ST CBB SHARP WINNER on Washington +6 -108

My money is on the Huskies to cash in a cover here as a 6-point road dog against Arizona State in Thursday's college hoops action. It's been a rough for Washington here of late, but this is the biggest dog we have seen them priced at since they were a 5.5-point dog against Baylor in the first game of the season. ASU has lost their last two and while they figure to win, I like the Huskies to keep it close. BET WASHINGTON +6! 

15* BOISE ST/UNLV CBB SHARP WINNER on Boise State +3 -108

My money is on the Broncos to cash in a win and cover here as a slim 3-point dog against UNLV in Thursday's 1st round action out of the Mountain West Tournament. The Rebels have won and covered 5 straight, which includes a 10-point win over Boise State at home. This line makes no sense, which is why I'm siding with the Broncos. Note that UNLV only won by 10 at home and they shot 51% from the field, while Boise shot 31%. BET THE BRONCOS +3! 

20* FORDHAM/G WASHINGTON CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Fordham +6½ -108

My money is on the Rams to cash in a cover here as a 6.5-point road dog against the Colonials in Wednesday's college hoops action. Fordham has lost 10 straight, but have covered their last 2 games as dogs. George Washington has lost 3 straight and 6 of 8 overall. They are fresh off a big loss at VCU and got a huge road game at Dayton in the finale. BET FORDHAM +6.5! 

15* DAVIDSON/RICHMOND CBB SHARP WINNER on Richmond -5 -110

My money is on the Spiders to cash in an easy win and cover as a 5-point home favorite against the Wildcats in Tuesday's college hoops action. Richmond is 12-4 in league play and come in having won 7 of their last 8. They will definitely be up for their final home game/senior night in this one. Davidson is just not a good road team and could struggle off a road game at league best Dayton. BET RICHMOND -5! 

20* UC-RIVERSIDE/HAWAII CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawaii -4½ -108

My money is on the Rainbow Warriors to cash in a win and cover here as a 4.5-point home favorite against the Highlanders. Easy play on Hawaii in this one. They are 14-4 at home this season, while UC-Riverside is just 5-10 on the road. Highlanders are also just 4-10 ATAS last 14 vs a team with a winning straight up record. BET RAINBOW WARRIORS -4.5! 

15* BOWLING GREEN/MIAMI(OH) CBB SHARP WINNER on Miami-OH +3 -110

My money is on the RedHawks to cash in a win and cover as a small 3-point home dog against the Falcons. Miami has been rolling here of late, covering 4 of their last 5. Bowling Green has only covered 2 of their last 11 games when listed as a favorite. BET MIAMI! 

20* FLORIDA ST/CLEMSON CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Clemson +3½ -110

My money is on Clemson to cash in a win and cover as a small 3.5-point home dog against the Seminoles. The Tigers are a strong home team and come in having won and covered 3 of their last 4. They often play their best against the best, as they are 17-7 ATS last 24 against a team that's outscoring opponents by 8+ points/game after 15+ games. BET CLEMSON +3.5! 

20* CS-FULLERTON/HAWAII CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on CS-Fullerton +9½ -110

My money is on the Titans to cash in a cover as a big 9.5-point road dog at Hawaii in Thursday's late night college action. This is just too big a number for the Rainbow Warriors to be laying with how they are playing. Hawaii snapped a 4-game losing streak with a win at UC-Riverside, but then lost as a favorite the next time out at Long Beach State. BET CS-FULLERTON +9.5! 

15* COLORADO/CALIFORNIA CBB SHARP WINNER on Colorado -9 -108

My money is on the Buffaloes to cash in a win and cover here as a 9-point road favorite against the Golden Bears. Colorado has won 5 of their last 7 and will be motivated here to get their 3-game road trip to end the season off to a good start. Cal has lost 5 of their last 6 with 3 of the last 4 defeats coming by 15 or more points. BET THE BUFFALOES -9! 

15* WISCONSIN/MICHIGAN CBB SHARP WINNER on Michigan -6½ -108

My money is on the Wolverines to cash in a win and cover as a 6.5-point home favorite in Thursday's college hoops action. Easy play here on red-hot Michigan. The Wolverines have won and covered 5 straight. The last two coming on the road against Rutgers and Purdue in a span of just 4 days. This team is peaking at the right time and with the way Wisconsin has struggled on the road I got to lay it here. BET THE WOLVERINES -6.5! 

20* DELAWARE/CHARLESTON CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on College of Charleston -4 -108

My money is on Charleston to cash in a win and cover as a small 4-point home favorite against the Blue Hens. The Cougars are showing some value here due to the fact that they have lost 4 straight. Thing is the last 3 were on the road. Charleston will have no problem bouncing back in this spot. Cougars are 12-3 ATS last 15 when they come in having failed to cover 4 of their last 5. BET CHARLESTON! 

15* TENNESSEE ST/WOFFORD CBB SHARP WINNER on Wofford +3½ -108

My money is on Wofford to cash in a win and cover here as a small 3.5-point home dog against East Tennessee State. This line really says it all. Wofford has lost 5 in a row, while East Tennessee State has won 7 straight and are sitting at 25-4 on the season. This game really means nothing to the Bucs. Look for the Terriers to pull off the upset. BET WOFFORD +3.5! 

20* BRADLEY/ILLINOIS ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Bradley -3 -108

My money is on the Braves to cash in a win and cover as a small 3-point road favorite at Illinois State. Big bounce back spot for Bradley, who had their 4-game win streak snapped in a loss at Valpo. Braves already beat Illinois STate by double-digits at home and while the RedBird are off a win, they haven't won back-to-back games since the start of the season. BET BRADLEY -3! 

20* DRAKE/LOY-CHICAGO CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Drake +7½ -108

My money is on the Bulldogs to cash in a cover here as a big 7.5-point road dog at Loyola-Chicago in Tuesday's college hoops action. Drake beat the Ramblers 65-62 at home earlier this season and shot 48% in the victory. That's more than enough reason to grab this big number on the road. BET THE BULLDOGS +7.5! 

20* W VIRGINIA/TEXAS CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on West Virginia -4 -110

My money is on the Mountaineers to cash in a win as a small road favorite at Texas in Monday's college hoops action. This is just too good a price to pass up with West Virginia. The Longhorns have won their last two, but it's come against Big 12 bottom feeders TCU and Kansas State. Prior to that they had lost 4 straight. Texas' only wins in Big 12 play have come against TCU, Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Iowa State, the bottom 4 teams in the conference. BET WEST VIRGINIA -4! 

20* SIENA/FAIRFIELD CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Fairfield +4 -108

My money is on the Stags to cash in a cover as a 4-point home dog against the Saints. Fairfield comes in off a thrilling 61-60 win at home over Niagara and will carry over that momentum here, as they seek revenge against Siena. Saints are not the team to back in this spot. Siena is 1-8 ATS last 9 as a road favorite of 6 or less. Fairfield is 8-1 ATS last 9 as a home dog. BET THE STAGS +4! 

20* ARK-LITTLE ROCK/ARKANSAS ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Arkansas-Little Rock -2½ -105

My money is on Arkansas-Little Rock to cash in a win and cover as a slim 2.5-point road favorite at rival Arkansas State in Saturday's college hoops action. Little Rock is a a strong 17-9 ATS this season and 11-2 ATS last 13 when they come in having won 4/5 of their last 6. Even stronger is their 11-4 ATS mark against teams with a winning record. BET LITTLE ROCK -2.5! 

20* St. PETER'S/MANHATTAN CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Manhattan -2 -115

My money is on the Jaspers to cash in an easy win and cover as a slim 2-point home favorite against St. Peter's in Friday's college hoops action. The Peacocks come in having won 7 of their last 8 games, which looks great, but 6 of those 7 wins came at home. St. Peter's is just 4-8 on the road and I look for them to struggle to play well against a good Manhattan team that is 6-3 at home. BET THE JASPERS -2! 

15* S UTAH/N COLORADO CBB SHARP WINNER on Northern Colorado -7½ -108

My money is on the Bears to cash in an easy win and cover as a 7.5-point home favorite against Southern Utah in Thursday's college hoops action. Northern Colorado is hands down the better team and have a huge home court edge (9-2 home record). Not to mention they are rolling with 5 wins in their last 6 games. BET THE BEARS -7.5! 

20* BAKERSFIELD/UTAH VALLEY CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Utah Valley -2½ -108

My money is on the Wolverines to cash in an easy win and cover here as a slim 2.5-point home favorite against CS-Bakersfield in Thursday's college hoops action. I get Utah Valley is just 4-6 at home, but the Roadrunners are a team they should be handedly at home. Bakersfield has lost 5 of 6 and are just 3-9 away from home on the season. BET UTAH VALLEY -2.5! 

15* BOISE ST/SAN JOSE ST CBB SHARP WINNER on San Jose State +9½ -108

My money is on the Spartans to cash in a cover here as a 9.5-point home dog against the Broncos in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the Mountain West Conference. This is just too many points for a Boise State team that is just 5-8 on the road to be playing. San Jose State has lost 5 straight, but have shown some life here of late, covering each of their last two as single-digit dogs. They do it again tonight. BET THE SPARTANS +9.5! 

20* E TENNESSEE ST/FURMAN CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on East Tennessee State -5½ -108

My money is on the Buccaneers to cash in a win and cover at home against Furman in Wednesday's college hoops action. East Tennessee State is rolling right now. The Bucs have won 5 straight and 10 of 11 overall. They are 12-2 in Southern Conference play. They have not forgot about a 9-point loss at Furman back on Jan. 4. East Tennessee State gets their revenge tonight. BET THE BUCCANEERS -5.5! 

15* SAMFORD/MERCER CBB SHARP WINNER on Mercer -7 -108

My money is on the Bears to cash in a win and cover as a 7-point home favorite against Samford in Wednesday's college hoops action. Easy play here on Mercer. Samford is one of the worst teams in the country. They are off a win against the Citadel, but they are even worse. Bulldogs had lost 11 straight prior to that win and they will return to their losing ways in this one. BET MERCER -7! 

20* OLE MISS/MIZZU CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Missouri -1 -108

My money is on the Tigers to cash in a win and cover as a 1-point home favorite against the Rebels in Tuesday's college hoops action. After a long stretch of poor play, Missouri has come to life. Tigers have won 2 of their last 3 and covered 3 straight. The only loss a mere 4-point setback at LSU as a 11-point dog. Ole Miss has won 3 of 4, but all 3 wins were at home. They just lost a heartbreaker at Kentucky a few days ago, so a letdown should be expected. BET MISSOURI -1! 

20* N CAROLINA/NOTRE DAME CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on North Carolina +4½ -110

My money is on the Tar Heels to cash in a win as a 4.5-point road dog at Notre Dame. I think most will be looking to fade UNC off a last second loss to Virginia. Mainly because of how bad they played on the road at WF last week after a similar type loss to Duke. Roy Williams has been preaching to his team to not have another letdown like that and I think we see them come out with a big effort and likely win this thing outright. BET THE TAR HEELS +4.5! 

15* CAL-IRVINE/HAWAII CBB SHARP WINNER on Hawaii +3 -109

My money is on the Rainbow Warriors to cash in a win and cover here as a slim 3-point home dog against Cal-Irvine. Hawaii has such a huge home court edge. They are 13-3 on their home floor this season. They did lose at home last time out to Long Beach State 49-50. Warriors are 33-18 ATS last 51 after scoring 55 or less and a perfect 6-0 ATS last 6 off a home loss. BET HAWAII +3!
