20* SHARP PLAY on Baylor +4½ -108

Baylor (+4.5) is worth a look in Monday's National Championship Game against Gonzaga. I not only think the Bears cover the 4.5, but I like them to win the game outright. We saw Gonzaga really struggle against UCLA in the Final Four and the Bears are a much better version of the Bruins. Unlike UCLA, who really relied a ton on one guy, Baylor has a bunch of guys who can cause problems offensively. Play the Bears +4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Baylor -7 -107

Baylor (-7) is worth a look in Monday's Elite 8 matchup against Arkansas. It's been a great run for the Razorbacks, but it's not exactly been the toughest road to the Elite 8 with wins over Colgate, Texas Tech and Oral Roberts. Baylor is simply on a different level than Arkansas. We just saw the Bears beat in a better team than Arkansas in Villanova by 11 in their last game. I look for Baylor to easily win here by double-digits. Play Baylor -7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Louisiana Tech +1 -108

Bet Louisiana Tech (+1) in Sunday's NIT Consolation (3rd Place Game) matchup with Colorado State. Colorado State won their first two games in the NIT Buffalo and NC State, but were then annihilated by 23 to Memphis in the Semifinals. It didn't go much better for La Tech, who lost by 22 to Mississippi St. I just see the Rams as the bigger frauds in this showdown. The MWC has really looked poor in postseason play. Bet the Bulldogs +1! 

20* SHARP PLAY on NC State PK -110

NC State (PK) is worth a look as a pick'em against Colorado State in Thursday's Quarterfinal action in the NIT. I just feel the books have completely missed the mark on this game. Colorado State got a top seed in the NIT for what they did in the MWC this year, but after watching the conferences top two teams, San Diego State and Utah State, both lose by double-digits in the 1st round of the NCAA Tournament, you have to wonder if that conference wasn't as good as people thought. I definitely don't think the Rams are on the same level of the Wolfpack. NC State is red-hot having won 6 of 7 with the only loss to Syracuse in the ACC Tournament. Play the Wolfpack PK! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Ohio +6 -110

The Bobcats (+6) are worth a look as they take on Creighton in the Round of 32 on Monday. Ohio pulled off a big upset, taking down Virginia 62-58 on Saturday. Some might see that as a fluke, but it's not. This Ohio team only lost by 2 on the road to Illinois in non-conference. I also don't like what I've seen out of this Creighton team since their head coach Greg McDermott made those plantation remarks to his players. I just don't think they are 100% all on the same page. Good chance the Bobcats win outright. Play Ohio +6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wisconsin +6½ -110

The Badgers (+6.5) are worth a look as a decently priced dog against Baylor. I just don't think the gap here is as big as what people think. The Bears have also not looked the same since that long covid break they had in February. Wisconsin was outstanding in their win over North Carolina and if they shoot anything like they did against the Tar Heels from deep (13 of 27), they are going to give Baylor all they can handle. Play Wisconsin +6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Dayton +4½ -108

Dayton (+4.5) is worth a look as they take on Memphis this Saturday in First Round action out of the NIT. I just think the Tigers are getting a little too much respect here. Memphis didn't sign all those big recruits to play in the NIT. I just wonder how motivated the Tigers are going to be. Plus, I don't think there's a whole lot that separates these two teams. Dayton is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 off a loss and 21-11 ATS last 32 vs a team with a winning record. Play Dayton +4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Loyola-Chicago -4½ -115

Loyola-Chicago (-4.5) is worth a look here against the Yellow Jackets in Friday's NCAA Tournament action. I know Georgia Tech just won the ACC Tournament and are riding a 8-game winning streak, I just think they got a brutal draw here in the Ramblers. They also suffered a big blow with Moses Wright not being available for this game. Loyola-Chicago dominated the Missouri Valley. I really think the Ramblers are way under seeded and will surprise a lot of people with how easy they win this game. Play Loyola-Chicago -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Drake PK -115

Drake (PK) is worth a look here at a pick'em against Wichita State in Thursday's First Four action. These two teams will be facing off as No. 11 seeds and will fight for the right to take on No. 6 USC in the West Region on Saturday. The Bulldogs were one of the biggest surprises in the country this year. They started out 18-0 before finishing 25-4. They will be getting back arguably their best player in ShanQuan Hemphill, who has missed 9 games (3 of their 4 losses). I just think Drake is the much better offensive team and that will carry them to a win. Play Drake PK! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Toledo -1½ -110

Toledo (-1.5) is worth a look at basically a pick'em in Wednesday's 1st Round action out of the NIT Tournament. The Spiders are a bit fortunate to even get an invite with how they finished the season. Richmond lost their final two regular season games and then dropped their first and only game in the A-10 Tournament. Not only are the Spiders not playing well, their two best players, Blake Francis and Grant Golden are both dealing with injuries that have them questionable to even play. I just trust this Rockets team a lot more to show up for this game. Play Toledo -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Utah State -4 -110

Utah State (-4) is worth a look here as a small favorite against Colorado State in Friday's late night action in the Mountain West Tournament. These two split their two games in the regualr-season, but Utah State won the first meeting 83-64 before losing the rematch a couple days later. It's always hard to beat the same team twice in such a short period. I just think that first game is a better indicator for what we are going to see in this matchup. Play Utah State -4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Mississippi State +8½ -108

Mississippi State (+8.5) is worth a look as a near double-digit dog against the Crimson Tide in Friday's Quarterfinal matchup in the SEC Tournament. This is just too big a price for Alabama to be laying against a team that they struggled with in regular-season play. While the Crimson Tide won both meetings, they only won by 8 in the first meeting and by just 5 in the second matchup. Mississippi State has covered 13 of their last 17 against up-tempo teams like Alabama who average 62+ shots/game. Bulldogs are also 12-4 ATS last 2 seasons vs top tier teams that are outscoring opponents by 8+ points/game. Play Mississippi State +8.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Buffalo -8 -108

Buffalo (-8) is worth a look as a pretty big favorite against Miami (OH) in Thursday's Quarterfinal matchup in the MAC Tournament. I just think the RedHawks are getting a little too much respect in this one. Sure they won 4 of their last 5, but 3 of those came against bottom feeders Northern Illinois, Central Michigan and Western Michigan. The other was a OT win against a mediocre Bowling Green team. In the two games against Buffalo in the regular-season, the Bulls won 90-62 on the road and 88-64 at home. They should easily win here once again by double-digits. Play Buffalo  -8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Fresno State -7 -110

Fresno State (-7) is worth a look as a favorite against New Mexico in Wednesday's First Round matchup in the Mountwest West Tournament. This might seem like a big number for the Bulldogs to be laying given they went just 2-4 in their final 6 games, but two of those losses were two San Diego State and the other two were by 1-point at UNLV and by 6 at home to Utah State. The Lobos were a dismal 2-15 in MWC play this year and 14 of the 15 losses came by at least 7 points. Not much else needs to be said. Play Fresno State -7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on BYU -8½ -108

BYU (-8.5) is worth a look here as decently priced favorite against Pepperdine in Monday's semifinal matchup out of the WCC Tournament. BYU did lose the most recent meeting with the Waves 73-76 on the road, but they also beat Pepperdine by 11 at home 4 days earlier. I just think a focused BYU team, which they should be here, will easily win this game by double-digits. Since that loss to Pepperdine, the Cougars have gone 6-1 with the only loss by a mere 11-points to Gonzaga. Play BYU -8.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cleveland State -3½ -108

Cleveland State (-3.5) is worth a look as a small favorite against Wisconsin-Milwaukee in Monday's semifinal matchup out of the Horizon Tournament. These two teams played twice in the regular-season and split, but the games were played on back-to-back days. I'm more interested in how the first game played out and that was a 64-53 win for the Vikings at home. I also look at how these two teams finished the regular-season and the edge clearly goes to Cleveland State. The Vikings went 6-2 in their last 8 games, while the Panthers were just 1-5 in their last 6 with the only win coming in double-overtime against Oakland. Play Cleveland State -3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Santa Clara +4 -110

Santa Clara (+4) is worth a look here as a dog against Pepperdine in Saturday's Quarterfinal action out of the West Coast Conference. The Broncos will be at a big rest disadvantage here as they will be playing their 3rd game in 3 days, but have a ton of momentum after knocking off Portland 95-86 and Pacific 81-76. I just really like the way this team is clicking offensively and it's not like the Waves were lighting it up down the stretch. Pepperdine lost 3 of their final 4 games, including a 82-86 loss at Santa Clara. Play the Broncos +4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacific -3 -108

Pacific (-3) is worth a look here as a short favorite against Santa Clara in Friday's late night action in the West Coast Tournament. The Tigers come into this game red-hot having won and covered in 3 of their last 4. The only game they didn't cover was in a 8point loss as a 5.5-point dog at St. Mary's. Pacific had no problem beating Santa Clara in the only regular-season meeting, winning 79-58 as a 3-point dog. Expect more of the same in this one. Play the Tigers -3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on UC San Diego -2½ -108

UC San Diego (-2.5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against Cal. St. Fullerton in Friday's action on the college hardwood out of the Big West Conference. The Titans are off a huge upset win over UC Irving, which they won 67-64 as a 9-point dog. While they pulled off the big win, they did not shoot it well hitting just 35.9% from the field. The other big thing is that game was played on Feb. 20, which means they haven't played a game in almost two weeks. Look for there to be some rust for Fullerton in their first game back, especially on the road against a hungry Tritons. team. Titans are just 1-8 ATS last 9 off a home win. Play UC San Diego -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Monmouth -5 -108

Monmouth (-5) is worth a look here as a slim road favorite against Rider in Thursday's college hoops action out of the MAAC. Easy spot here to jump on the Hawks, who are going to be extremely motivated to get back on track after dropping their last 2 on the road to Iona. Prior to those 2 defeats Monmouth had won 7 of 8. They should be able to make easy work here of Rider, who is just 5-14 overall and tied for last in the MAAC with a 5-11 mark. Play Monmouth -5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on St Bonaventure -8 -108

St. Bonaventure (-8) is worth a look here as a near double-digit home favorite against the Flyers in Monday's action out of the Atlantic 10. Dayton is a good team, but the Bonnies are just a different beast at home. St. Bonaventure is a perfect 8-0 SU and 6-2 ATS at home this season, where they are winning games by an average of 19.0 ppg (77.4-58.4). The Flyers are also not playing great coming into this matchup. Dayton has lost 3 of their last 4 including an ugly 84-97 loss at St Joseph's last time out as a 7.5-point favorite. Bonnies have won 3 straight and are fresh off a 88-41 thrashing of George Washington. Play St. Bonaventure -8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Quinnipiac +3 -108

Quinnipiac (+3) is worth a look here as a small road dog against Marist in Sunday's action out of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The Bobcats are rolling right now with 3 straight wins and these mediocre teams have been a problem for the Red Foxes. Marist is just 1-8 ATS last 9 games vs a marginal losing team (40% to 49% WP). Red Foxes are also coming off a great defensive showing in a 51-50 win over St. Peters, which has been an issue. Marist is 0-7 ATS last 7 at home after allowing 60 or fewer points. Play Quinnipiac +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Long Beach State +8 -108

Long Beach State (+8) is worth a look here as a near double-digit dog at Hawaii in Saturday's action out of the Big West Conference. These two teams played last night and the Rainbow Warriors squeaked out a 78-76 win. Long Beach clearly showed they can hang and now will be the more motivated team in the rematch. They are also now 16-6 ATS last 22 road games in conference play, which spans the last 3 seasons. Play Long Beach State +8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Xavier -1 -110

Xavier (-1) are worth a look here as a slim 1-point road favorite against Providence in Wednesday's Big East action on the college hardwood. The Friars have just not lived up to the hype this season. They have gone just 4-8 in conference games after starting out 3-1 and have lost 3 of 5 at home. Xavier is simply the better team. Last time out Providence lost 61-73 at UConn and that's worth noting given they are a mere 15-30 ATS last 45 at home off a road loss by 10 or more. Play Xavier -1! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Missouri -3½ -108

Missouri (-3.5) is worth a look as a small home favorite against Ole Miss in Tuesday's SEC action on the college hardwood. The Tigers snapped a 3-game losing streak with a convincing 93-78 win at Georgia on Sunday and will have their eyes set on revenge against the Rebels. These two played at Ole Miss earlier this month and the Rebels laid it on the Tigers in a 80-59 win. I could see this being a complete reversal of that game with Missouri winning by double-digits. Tigers are 8-2 at home. Also, you have to note that in that first game against Ole Miss, Missouri was coming off a huge 68-65 home win over Alabama, so not a huge surprise they didn't come out with their best effort. They won't make that same mistake again. Play the Tigers -3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on NC-Greensboro -8 -108

UNC-Greensboro (-8) is worth a look here as a sizeable road favorite against Western Carolina. I just don't think it's asking much for the Spartans to cash in a win by double-digits. Greensboro is 11-4 in Southern Conference play this season and come in having won 10 of their last 12 games. The Catamounts are 2-12 in league play and figure to have a horrible time stopping the Spartans from putting up a big number here. Greensboro is scoring 77.4 ppg in road games and Western Carolina is allowing 79.3 ppg in conference play. Play the Spartans -8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Michigan +1½ -105

The Wolverines (+1.5) are worth a look as a road dog against rival Ohio State in Sunday's Big Ten action on the college hardwood. I got nothing but respect for the Buckeyes, who have really came out of nowhere this season. However, I've been more impressed with what I've seen out of Michigan. The Wolverines haven't just looked like the best team in the Big Ten, but maybe one of the few teams who can win the whole thing. Play Michigan +1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Georgia Tech -3½ -108

The Yellow Jackets (-3.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against Miami in Saturday's early ACC action on the college hardwood. Georgia Tech is just 3-5 in their last 8 games, but have really been playing better than their record. Of the 5 losses during this stretch, 4 have come on the road to Virginia, Duke, Louisville and Clemson. The other was a home loss to Virginia. They had a legit shot to win all of those but the game at the Cardinals. Miami on the other hand has lost 6 of their last 7 and just aren't playing well. Georgia Tech is the much better team and should be favored more. Play the Yellow Jackets -3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Fairfield +5½ -108

Fairfield (+5.5) is worth a look here as a home dog against Canisius in Friday's MAAC action on the college hardwood. I just think the Golden Griffins are getting way to much respect here. Canisius won their first two games back after more than a month off, but both were at home against a pretty bad Quinnipiac team. I know Fairfield is just 5-14 overall, but they have won 3 of their last 5 and just split a 2-game set on the road against one of the better teams in the conference in St. Peter's. I just don't think the Golden Griffins should be more than a pick'em in this matchup. Play the Stags +5.5!  

20* SHARP PLAY on Bradley -3½ -106

Bradley (-3.5) is worth a look here as a slim home favorite against Illinois State in Thursday's action out of the Missouri Valley. It's been a rough go here for the Braves, who have dropped 9 of their last 11, but this Illinois State team is one they should be able to beat no problem. The Redbirds are just 3-12 in MVC play this year and are just 1-8 ATS lin their last 9 road games after playing a game as a road dog. They are also a mere 1-8 ATS in their last 9 when playing their 3rd game in a week. Play Bradley -3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on VMI +3½ -108

UNC Greensboro (+3.5) is worth a look here as a small road dog against VMI in Wednesday's Southern Conference action on the college hardwood. This is just too good a price to pass up with the Spartans, who are 9-1 in their last 10 games with the only loss coming to a good Furman team. VMI is as inconsistent as they come. The Keydets have alternated a win with a loss since beating Chattanooga back on Jan. 2. So while VMI is off a huge 85-56 home win over Samford, chances are they won't deliver in this one. Play UNC Greensboro +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Kent State -9 -106

The Golden Flashes (-9) are worth a look here as a near double-digit road favorite against Western Michigan in Tuesday's MAC action on the college hardwood. Kent State has gone 9-2 in MAC play since losing their first two conference games and those two losses have come against the two best teams in the MAC in Toledo and Akron. The Broncos are just 3-8 in MAC play with two of their wins against Central Michigan, who is 2-9 in league play. Each of Western Michigan's last 7 conference losses have come by 9 or more. Play Kent State -9! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Washington State -7½ -108

Washington State (-7.5) is worth a look here as a big home favorite against rival Washington in Monday's Pac-12 action on the college hardwood. These two already played once this season and the Cougars dominated in a 77-62 road win. Washington is 0-10 SU and 2-8 ATS on the road this season. They are scoring a mere 67 ppg and giving up 84 ppg away from home. Washington State only allows 64.4 ppg at home. As long as the Cougars aren't ice cold from the field, they win here by double-digits no problem. Play Washington State -7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on UC-Santa Barbara -6 -108

UC- Santa Barbara (-6) is worth a look here as a road favorite against Hawaii in Friday's Big West action on the college hardwood. The Gauchos enter on a 8-game winning streak with only 2 of those wins coming by fewer than 14 points. Note that the only two exceptions were in the second game of a back-to-back against the same opponent, who they had blown out the day before. So while Hawaii might be worth a look tomorrow night, this is an easy play here on UC Santa Barbara. Play the Gauchos -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on West Virginia -3 -108

The Mountaineers (-3) are worth a look here as a slim 3-point home favorite against the Sooners. This is just too good a price to pass up with West Virginia at home. The Mountaineers are 6-2 at home this season. They are also a dominant 14-4 ATS in their last 18 home games after winning 3 of their last 4 and 15-5 ATS last 20 at home off an upset road win. Oklahoma has won 6 of 7, but only one of those wins were on the road. Sooners just 2-4 away from home this season. Play West Virginia -3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on California +5½ -108

The Golden Bears (+5.5) are worth a look here as a home dog against the Utes in Thursday's Pac-12 action on the college hardwood. This is just too good a price to pass up with Cal. I know the Golden Bears come in having lost 6 straight, but a big reason for that is the schedule. These two teams already played once this season and Cal beat Utah 72-63 on the road as a massive 12-point dog. I don't see the Utes getting revenge in this one. Utah is just 5-13 ATS on the road the last 2 seasons and 1-9 ATS last 10 on the road after playing their previous game as a dog. Cal is 12-4 ATS last 16 home games against conference opponents. Play the Golden Bears +5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pepperdine +4 -108

The Waves (+4) are worth a look here as a small road dog against San Francisco in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the West Coast Conference. Pepperdine has won 4 of their last 6 and the two losses were to be expected at BYU and at home against Gonzaga. The Dons just lost at home to St. Mary's as a 2-point favorite and are now just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games. Waves are the exact opposite, going 5-1-1 ATS over their last 6. Play Pepperdine +4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on NC-Greensboro +3½ -110

UNC Greensboro (+3.5) is worth a look here as a short dog against Furman in Monday's Southern Conference action. The Spartans come in having won 7 straight, including their last 4 on the road. Furman on the other hand has lost 3 of their last 4 inlucing a 67-75 setback at home to Wofford last time out. Paladins are also just 1-7 ATS in conference games this season. Play Greensboro +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Tulane +6 -108

The Green Wave (+6) are worth a look here as a decently priced home dog against the Bearcats in Sunday's American Athletic action. Cincinnati defied the odds and was able to sneak out a 63-60 win at Temple on Thursday, despite having not played in almost a month, missing key guys and barely any practice time. Give the Bearcats credit, but at the same time, Temple played a big role in that win. The Owls shot an awful 39% from the field and turned it over 19 times. I still think the deck is stacked against Cincinnati right now and that win has them a bit overvalued here. Play Tulane +6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on NC State -3 -108

NC State (-3) is worth a look here as a slim road favorite against Boston College. It can be hard to lay points with a team like the Wolfpack, who have lost 6 of their last 7 games, but a big reason for the struggles has been the schedule. The Eagles are a team they are better than, plus this is a really tough spot for BC, playing their first game since Jan. 16. Not to mention the Eagles are just 3-10 overall and 1-6 in ACC action. Play NC State -3!

20* SHARP PLAY on Iowa -4 -110

The Hawkeyes (-4) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Buckeyes in Thursday's Big Ten action. I think we are getting a great discount on Iowa at home due to the fact that they come in having failed to cover 3 straight and have to play here on just 1 day of rest. I just don't think the rest thing is going to be that big of a factor for the Hawkeyes. Garza never gets tired and Iowa has really good depth. I know Ohio State has been hot, but I just think it will be tough for them to keep it within the number. Play Iowa -4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on SMU -1½ -110

The Mustangs (-1.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against Tulsa in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the American Athletic. This is just one of those games where you got to trust the books. It makes no sense for SMU to be a road favorite here. The Mustangs are fresh off a 22-point loss at Houston have failed to cover 6 of their last 7 and Tulsa is 5-1 at home. When a line looks this far off you got to go against what looks like the obvious bet. Play SMU -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wake Forest +5 -108

The Demon Deacons (+5) are worth a look here as a road dog against the Fighting Irish in Tuesday's ACC action. Wake Forest has been an absolute covering machine, cashing a winning ticket in 7 of their last 8 games. Demon Deacons are 0-5 SU in road games this season, but are 4-1 ATS and Notre Dame is a team they not only can cover against but win outright. Irish are also a good fade off an upset win like we have here, as they are 0-6 ATS in this spot the last 3 seasons. Play Wake Forest +5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Georgia Tech +3½ -108

The Yellow Jackets (+3.5) are worth a look here as a small road dog against Louisville in Monday's ACC action. Georgia Tech comes into this game off an impressive 76-65 win at home against FSU, snapping the Seminoles 5-game winning streak. The Yellow Jackets only two losses in their last 8 games are a 2-point loss at Virginia and 7-point loss at Duke. Two games they were in a great position to win late. Louisville on the other hand has lost 3 of their last 4 and I look for the struggles to continue here. Play the Yellow Jackets +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cal-Irvine -2½ -104

The Anteaters (-2.5) are worth a look in Saturday's rematch with Hawaii. These two teams played Friday night and UC Irvine squeaked out a 53-51 win. The Rainbow Warriors couldn't have got a worse game out of the Anteaters and yet they still couldn't find a way to win. UC Irvine shot just 1 for 14 from and was 6 for 12 from the free throw line. I expect a much better offensive showing tonight and for the Anteaters to win this one going away. Play UC Irvine -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawaii +3½ -105

Hawaii (+3.5) is worth a look as a home dog against UC Irvine in Friday's college hoops action out of the Big West Conference. The Rainbow Warriors snapped a 4-game skid with a 76-53 blowout win on the road against Cal State Fullerton. UC Irvine is sitting on top the Big West standings at 4-0, but have played the easiest schedule to date of any team in the conference. I just feel it has the Anteaters biting off a little more than they can chew tonight as a road favorite. Play Hawaii +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on IUPU-Indianapolis +3 -108

IUPUI (+3) is worth a look as a small home dog against Wisconsin-Milwaukee in Friday's Horizon League action on the college hardwood. The Jaguars are going to be out for some serious revenge here after losing back-to-back games on the road to the Panthers earlier this season. Those two games couldn't have gone much worse for IUPUI, as they shot right around 40% from the field in both games and Milwaukee was over 50% in both games. Those were definitely outliers for the Panthers, as they are shooting just 42.8% as a team on the season. They are also shooting just 40% in road games this year. Play the Jaguars +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on SMU -2½ -110

SMU (-2.5) is worth a look here as a slim home favorite against Memphis in Thursday's AAC action on the college hardwood. These two teams played Tuesday at Memphis and the Tigers squeaked out a 76-72 win. That matchup was pretty even across the board, which is a good sign that the Mustangs are the smart play here as they should be the more motivated team and now they have the home court edge. Play SMU -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pepperdine +6½ -110

Pepperdine (+6.5) is worth a look as a home dog against the Cougars in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the West Coast Conference. These two teams just played each other at BYU on Saturday and while the Cougars won 65-54, there were a lot of positives to take away from that game for Pepperdine. The biggest being their defense holding BYU to just 65 on their home floor. I look for the Waves to be the more motivated side here and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they pulled off the upset in the rematch. Play Pepperdine +6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Oklahoma +5 -115

The Sooners (+5) are worth a look as a road dog against the Longhorns in Tuesday's Big 12 matchup. Oklahoma comes into this game rolling off 3 straight wins. The most recent being a convincing 75-68 win over Kansas at home. Texas was able to bounce back from their first loss in Big 12 play with a 82-67 win at home over Kansas State, but the injuries are starting to pile up for the Longhorns. Forwards Greg Brown, Brock Cunningham and Kai Jones are all questionable to play. Either way I like the Sooners to keep this close and wouldn't be surprised at all if they won outright. Play Oklahoma +5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Virginia -6 -110

Virginia (-6) is worth a look at home against Syracuse in Monday's college hoops action. The Cavaliers have been absolutely rolling in ACC play. Virginia is a perfect 6-0 in conference action and while they only beat Georgia Tech by 2 on Saturday, that was the first time they won by fewer than 9 points inside the ACC. I actually think that close call will have them that much more locked in for this game against the Orange. Syracuse is coming off a couple of impressive wins over Miami and Virginia Tech, but both of those were at home. Also a much harder spot here for the Orange playing on the road with just 1 day of rest. Play the Cavaliers -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Creighton -7 -108

Creighton (-7) is worth a look in Saturday's early college hoops action out of the Big East. The Bluejays are going to be extremely motivated to take the floor in this one as they come in having lost 2 straight after starting out 6-1 in Big East play. UConn is simply going to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Huskies are a good team when healthy, but are without their best player in James Bouknight. UConn simply doesn't have the offensive fire-power to keep pace in this one. Play Creighton -7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Santa Clara +3 -110

Santa Clara (+3) is worth a look here as a small home dog against the Dons in Thursday's West Coast action on the college hardwood. Tough spot here for San Francisco coming off a hard fought 63-72 loss at home to BYU and another big game on deck at home against St. Mary's on Saturday. Really easy for the Dons to not show up with their best effort here on the road against a talented Broncos team. San Francisco is 5-14 ATS last 19 on the road off a home game and 0-6 ATS last 6 off a conference home loss. Play Santa Clara +3! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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. 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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! 

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!
