04-15-22 | Hawks v. Cavs +2.5 | Top | 107-101 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 38 m | Show |
This is a play on the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS for our NBA Eastern Conference Game of the Year. Atlanta is coming off a blowout win over Charlotte on Wednesday to advance to the second play-in game with the winner securing the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks have been dominant at home but they are just 16-25 on the road and come in as a road favorite based on the recent dominant performance. They are allowing 112.3 ppg on 47 percent shooting on the highway and Atlanta is 3-12 ATS in their 15 road games after having won two of their last three games this season. Cleveland got off to a slow start against Brooklyn and had a tough time fighting back although the Cavaliers did a great job of keeping it withing reach. They were outscored by 20 points in the first quarter but outscored the Nets by 13 points over the final three quarters and now they head back home where they are the complete opposite of Atlanta with a 25-16 record at home. They re outscoring opponents by close to 5 ppg and Cleveland is 12-3 ATS after having lost five or six of their last seven games this season. Here, we play against favorites after scoring 120 points or more in two straight games going up against an opponent after scoring 43 points or less in the first half last game. This situation is 48-20 ATS (70.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (510) Cleveland Cavaliers |

04-15-22 | Islanders -140 v. Canadiens | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 13 h 20 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK ISLANDERS for our NHL Friday Breakaway. The Islanders are coming off a home-and-home split with Pittsburgh after losing last night 6-3 on the road. They are stuck at 77 points and the playoffs are a pipedream at this point but they continue to fight and who know what could have been if not for the massive roadtrip they had to play to open the season. This is the seventh road contest in eight games for New York and it has been adequate this season with a 15-17-2-3 record on away ice and while the offense has slowed, facing this defense will right the ship. New York is 24-12 against the money line in its last 36 games revenging a home loss and the Islanders are 22-7 in their last 29 games as a favorite. Montreal has lost three straight and seven of its last nine games with only two of those losses coming by one goal. It has been a rough year for the Canadiens with both ends of the ice to blame as they are ranked No. 29 in scoring offense and No. 32 in scoring defense. Montreal is 10-21-3-1 at home which is the worst home record in the Eastern Conference. The problem has been the defense as the Canadiens have allowed 3.57 gpg at home which is fifth most in the NHL. Montreal is 8-25 against the money line when playing against a team with a losing record this season and the Canadiens are 17-50 in their last 67 games as an underdog. 10* (27) New York Islanders |

04-15-22 | Phillies +104 v. Marlins | Top | 1-7 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 58 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES for our MLB Friday Sweet Spot. Miami picked up the win in this series opener 4-3 on Thursday which was its second win of the season and snapped a three-game losing streak. The offense remains one of the worst in the league as the Marlins are averaging just 3.12 rpg which is No. 28 in all of baseball. The victory was their home opener on the season but this is not an intimidating place for visiting teams and we are not expecting back-to-back wins for Miami. Pablo Lopez gets the ball for the Malins and he is coming off a solid opening start as he allowed one run on three hits in five innings against the Giants. The Marlins are 2-7 in their last nine games following a win. Philadelphia has lost three straight games to fall to 3-4 on the season and the loss on Thursday was its first road game of the season. We are getting a good price with the much more talented team and a lot of that has to do with the recent struggles. The Phillies are averaging 3.0 rpg over this stretch and it is just a matter of time before this offense breaks out. Zach Eflin is coming off a shortened yet solid performance as he went four innings, allowing only two hits and no runs on just 68 pitches but he was on a limited pitch could and should be stretched out here. The Phillies are 9-4 in their last 13 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. 10* (955) Philadelphia Phillies |

04-14-22 | Tigers v. Royals -120 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -120 | 13 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the KANSAS CITY ROYALS for our MLB A.L. Central Game of the Month. Detroit has started the season very similar in its two series as it won the opener over Chicago and Boston only to go on to lose each of the final two games to close it out. The Tigers made some offseason moves that should strengthen the team but they are still a ways away from even thinking about contending as they are +850 to win the American League Central. Detroit goes to Casey Mize who is coming off a poor opening start as he allowed four runs on seven hits in five innings while striking out just two. He was pretty good last season with a 3.71 ERA over 30 starts although he allowed 24 home runs in just 150.3 innings. The Tigers are 4-13 in their last 17 games against teams with a losing record. Kansas City is coming off a rainout on Wednesday which came after a 6-5 loss at St. Louis to open the two-game series. The Royals are back home where they are 2-2 and they are riding a three-game losing streak heading into this four-game set with the Tigers. The pitching needs to get back on track as allowing one run in the two wins but gave up 33 runs during the three losses. Zack Greinke was supposed to start Wednesday but got pushed back a day because of the rain and that is not a bad thing. He went 5.2 innings in his first start, allowing just one run on five hits and that was against the now potent Cleveland offense. The Royals are 9-3 in their last 12 games following an off day. Here, we play on American League teams who had a slugging percentage .410 or worse last season, with a slugging percentage of .350 or worse over their last five games. This situation is 26-7 (78.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (922) Kansas City Royals |

04-14-22 | Wild -115 v. Stars | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 12 h 30 m | Show |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA WILD for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. Minnesota has won two straight games and is now in a tie for third place with St. Louis in the Western Conference with 96 points. The Wild are 19-14-1-3 on the road as they rely on a strong offense that is averaging 3.30 gpg on away ice which is ninth most in the NHL. They have a favorable schedule to end the season with six of their last 10 games taking place at home. Minnesota is 28-6 against the money line after playing a home game this season. Dallas is coming off a 1-0 over Tampa Bay to also make it two straight wins and it has a lot less room for error. The Stars are tied with Los Angeles for seventh place in the Western Conference and they are just three point ahead of Vegas for ninth place. Dallas is 23-10-2-0 at home but are outscoring opponents by just over 1/4 gpg and are in another tough matchup here. Dallas is 1-7 against the money line in its last eight games after shutting out their opponent in their previous game. Here, we play on road favorites of -200 or less against the money line in the second half of the season with a winning percentage between .600 and .700 revenging a loss of three goals or more. This situation is 28-6 (82.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (15) Minnesota Wild |

04-13-22 | Hornets v. Hawks -5 | Top | 103-132 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA HAWKS for our NBA Southeast Game of the Month. Atlanta closed the regular season with a win at Houston to secure a home count game in its play-in game. The Hawks were dreadful on the road with a 16-25 record but they flourished at home, going 27-14. Atlanta was solid on offense as it finished No. 6 in scoring, No. 7 in shooting and No. 2 in three-point shooting. That success should continue against a porous defense that allowed 115.3 ppg in the four regular season meetings. Atlanta is 10-2 ATS in its last 12 home games when playing against a team with a winning record. Charlotte won its final three regular season games but it was not enough to catch the Hawks. The Hornets are a respectable 21-20 on the road and while they boast the No. 4 overall scoring offense in the league, they are just No. 11 in shooting and a bigger issue is that they are No. 27 in free throw shooting compared to No. 4 for Atlanta. Charlotte is 22-38 ATS in its last 60 road games against teams making 36 percent or better of their three-point of their attempts. Here, we play against road underdogs in a game involving two teams shooting 36.5 percent or better from long range, after two straight games making 16 or more three-point shots. This situation is 31-11 ATS (73.8 percent) since 1996. 10* (506) Atlanta Hawks |

04-13-22 | Padres v. Giants -125 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS for our MLB Wednesday Sweet Spot. San Francisco bounced back from a series opening loss with a 13-2 victory on Tuesday as the Giants lit up Yu Darvish for nine runs on eight hits in just 1.2 innings. They will be out to take the series on Wednesday which would make it two series wins to start the season. They have allowed two runs or less in three of their five games and overall, the pitching and defense is ranked No. 6 in runs scored. Logan Webb gets the ball for San Francisco and he is coming off a solid outing in his first start as he allowed one run on five hits over six innings to register a quality start. When he is on the mound, he has gone 14-1 in his last 15 home starts. The Padres had a four-game winning streak snapped with the loss on Tuesday. San Diego has been average on both sides as they are ranked No. 14 in runs scored and No. 18 in runs allowed. This is the final game of a season-opening seven-game road trip and it welcomes Atlanta tomorrow for its home opener. Sean Manaea is coming off a spectacular opener as he tossed seven innings of no-hit ball against Arizona but was pulled despite throwing only 88 pitches. He was fortunate to face a very weak offense and he will have a bigger challenge here against a more potent offense. Here, we play against teams when the money line is +125 to -125 in the first 12 games of the season, after closing out last season with 11 or more losses in their last 15 games going up against an opponent in the first 12 games of the season, after closing out last season with 20 or more wins in their last 30 games. This situation is 31-8 (79.5 percent) since 1997. 10* (958) San Francisco Giants |

04-12-22 | Lightning -142 v. Stars | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -142 | 13 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. Tampa Bay snapped a four-game losing streak with a win over Buffalo on Sunday and the Lightning have some work to do as the regular season winds down. They are four points behind the Maple Leafs and Rangers for third and fourth place yet are also just two points out of seventh place so they need to put something together as they have a five-game homestand upcoming. Tampa Bay is 22-13-1-1 on the road and the strength is the offense as it is averaging 3.43 gpg on road ice which is sixth highest in the NHL. Tampa Bay is 13-1 in its last 14 games against the money line after having lost three of their last four games. Dallas defeated Chicago on Sunday to snap a two-game slide and the Stars are sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference as just three points separates sixth place and ninth place. Dallas is 22-10-2-0 at home so this will be a test for the Lightning but they also have the defense to back up the offense. Dallas is 10-18 in its last 28 games against the money line after a road game where both teams scored three or more goals. Here, we play against teams against the money line off a road win against a division rival going up against an opponent off a home win where they shut out their opponent. This situation is 23-3 (88.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (63) Tampa Bay Lightning |

04-12-22 | Clippers v. Wolves -2.5 | Top | 104-109 | Win | 100 | 14 h 43 m | Show |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Tuesday Star Attraction. Minnesota lost two of its final three games of the season but they were all meaningless although coming into the playoffs, it would have been good to carry some positive momentum. The Timberwolves were two games out of not having the play a play-in game but at least they are at home where they are 26-15 and two of those losses came against the Clippers so they certainly have their attention here. Minnesota is 26-16 ATS as a favorite this season and the Timberwolves are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight home games against teams with a losing road record. The Clippers won their final five games of the regular season but It was not good enough to secure a home play-in game however as they still finished four games behind the Timberwolves in the Western Conference. This is not ideal for Los Angeles which finished the regular season 17-24 on the road and it has struggled against the good teams as the Clippers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Additionally, the Clippers are 1-11 ATS revenging a straight up loss as a home favorite this season. Here, we play against teams revenging a home loss of 10 points or more, after a cover as a double digit favorite. This situation is 62-32 ATS (66 percent) since 1996. 10* (504) Minnesota Timberwolves |

04-12-22 | Indians v. Reds -103 | Top | 10-5 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
This is a play on the CINCINNATI REDS for our MLB Interleague Game of the Month. Cleveland opened the season with two losses against Kansas City as it managed just one run in those two games but exploded for 27 runs over the last two games to force the series split. This is a great spot to go against that offense. The Guardians remain on the road with a pair of games at Cincinnati and bring back opening day starter Shane Bieber who is coming off an average first start as he allowed one run on three hits but lasted just 4.2 innings. Cleveland is 3-14 in its last 17 games against the money line after scoring 10 runs or more. Cincinnati salvaged a split with the Braves as it won the series finale on Sunday. The Reds are coming off an off day after scoring six runs in three of the four games against Atlanta. This is the home opener for Cincinnati and have the slight pitching matchup here. Tyler Mahle is coming off a solid opening day outing as he allowed no earned runs on three hits while striking out seven against the Braves in a 6-3 victory. The Reds are 12-5 in their last 17 home games with the total set at 11.0 or higher. Here, we play on home teams when the money line is +125 to -125 batting .190 or worse over their last three games, after two straight games where the bullpen gave up no earned runs. This situation is 30-11 (73.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (918) Cincinnati Reds |

04-11-22 | Padres v. Giants -139 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -139 | 15 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS for our MLB Monday Sweet Spot. San Diego dropped its season opener in Arizona but fought back by winning the final three games of the series, outscoring the Diamondbacks 18-7 over those final three games. The Padres are expected to give the Dodgers a run in the National League West but could be in for a challenge in this series opener. Nabil Crismatt went just three innings yesterday as the bullpen was forced to toss six innings and could be shorthanded tonight. Nick Martinez will be making his first Major League start since 2017 after spending four years in Japan and the quality of offense he now faces is a big step up. The Giants were able to win their series against Miami as they bookended wins with the loss coming in Game Two by one run. San Francisco is +500 to win the National League West which is not far behind the +300 Padres so this is a quality team that should have a big starting pitching edge here. San Francisco counters with Alex Wood who is coming off a solid 2021 season where he posted a 3.83 ERA and 3.44 xFIP and had a solid spring to back it up. Here, we play against teams when the money line is +125 to -125 in the first 12 games of the season, after closing out last season with 11 or more losses in their last 15 games going up against an opponent in the first 12 games of the season, after closing out last season with 20 or more wins in their last 30 games. This situation is 31-8 (79.5 percent) since 1997. 10* (958) San Francisco Giants |

04-11-22 | Jets -136 v. Canadiens | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
This is a play on the WINNIPEG JETS for our NHL Monday Breakaway. Winnipeg snapped a four-game losing streak with a win over Ottawa on Sunday and while it was a rather unimpressive 4-3 victory, it righted the ship for the Jets. They are in the No. 11 spot in the Western Conference with 79 points as they trail No. 8 Los Angeles by seven points with nine games remaining. They are 15-13-5-3 on the road and these are the games they have to take advantage of. Winnipeg is 18-9 against the money line after allowing two goals or more in the third period last game this season. Montreal is coming off a loss on Saturday at Toronto and it has now lost nine of its last 13 games overall including four of five at home. The Canadiens are just 10-20-3-1 at home and overall, they have struggled on both sides, ranked No. 29 in scoring offense and No. 31 in scoring defense. They are averaging just 2.56 gpg at home as they have managed only 17 power play goals. Montreal is 4-13 against the money line in home games after allowing three goals or more in three straight games this season. Here, we play on road teams when the money line is -100 to -150 after failing to cover three of their last four games against the spread, in April games. This situation is 90-45 (66.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (39) Winnipeg Jets |

04-11-22 | Brewers -145 v. Orioles | Top | 0-2 | Loss | -145 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BREWERS for our MLB Monday Afternoon Dominator. After losing the first two games against the Cubs, the Brewers were able to salvage the final game of the series on Sunday with a 5-4 win as they rallied from an early 3-0 deficit. Milwaukee remains on the road and has a much easier series test to open the week and get a streak going. The Brewers are the favorites to win the National League Central and their starting pitching needs to pick it up as the three starters has tossed a combined 12.2 innings. Adrian Houser makes his first start after a successful 2021 season where he posted a 3.22 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 28 games including 26 starts. The Orioles are in for another long season and they did not get off to a good start as they were swept in Tampa Bay, getting outscored 15-4 in the three-game set. This is the home opener for Baltimore but its home field edge is nothing great as they are clearly struggling on both sides. Bruce Zimmerman gets the ball for Baltimore and he is coming off a season where he posted a 5.02 ERA and 1.51 WHIP in 14 games and he had issues with the long ball as he allowed 14 home runs in just 64.3 innings. He is coming off a good spring but logged only nine innings throughout camp. Here, we play against home teams who had a poor bullpen last season with an ERA of 4.50 or worse, in an inter-league game. This situation is 30-11 (73.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (969) Milwaukee Brewers |

04-10-22 | Lakers v. Nuggets -8.5 | Top | 146-141 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 34 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Sunday Star Attraction. All playoff spots have been filled in the NBA and the only thing on the line for a few teams is the seeding heading into the postseason. Denver has the most on the line as far as positioning and it has been given a favorable line here. Denver will clinch the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference with a win and if the Jazz lose to the Blazers but the Nuggets will get the No. 6 seed should Utah win. The Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in their last six Sunday games. The Lakers have been out of the playoff picture for a while and this is one of the most disappointing teams in recent memory. They will be short-handed tonight with nothing to play for as LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook are all out on Sunday. This hurts them on both ends of the floor, especially on defense where they are just No. 26 in defensive scoring and No. 23 in defensive shooting and they will be facing the No. 2 ranked shooting offense in the NBA. The Lakers are 3-16 ATS in their last 19 games off a home win by 10 points or more. Here, we play on favorites in the second half of the season after two or more consecutive unders, averaging between 108 and 114 ppg going up against teams allowing between 114 and 118 ppg. This situation is 49-18 ATS (73.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (570) Denver Nuggets |

04-10-22 | Predators +161 v. Penguins | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 20 m | Show |
This is a play on the NASHVILLE PREDATORS for our NHL Sunday Breakaway. Pittsburgh has lost four straight games including a 6-3 loss to Washington on Saturday. The Penguins are currently No. 7 in the Eastern Conference with 92 points and they are most likely not to be able to finish higher than fifth in the conference. They are just 19-12-2-3 at home which is very average but are priced as though they have been more dominant at home than they really are. Pittsburgh is 2-8 against the money line when playing their 3rd game in four days this season. Nashville is also coming off a loss on Saturday as it fell at home 4-1 against Florida which snapped a 4-1 run. The Predators are No. 6 in the Western Conference and are still within reach of the No. 4 spot which will come with home ice in the first round of the playoffs. They are 19-14-2-2 on the road which is similar to the Penguins record at home but are not getting any respect here. Nashville is 13-2 against the money line after two consecutive non-conference games this season. Here, we play against home Favorites of -200 or less against the money line in the second half of the season with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 after having lost five or six of their last seven games, playing a winning team. This situation is 31-15 (67.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (27) Nashville Predators |

04-10-22 | A's +190 v. Phillies | Top | 4-1 | Win | 190 | 5 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the OAKLAND A'S for our MLB Sunday Sweet Spot. Oakland has dropped the first two games of this series, dropping those by scores of 9-5 and 4-2. The A's lost a lot from last season as Matt Chapman, Matt Olson, Starling Marte and Mark Canha are all gone which puts a big dent into their offense but early in the season, they are ranked No. 12 in runs scored. Daulton Jeffries gets the ball for Oakland and this will be just his third career start. While his spring was below average, he earned the No. 3 spot in the rotation based on his ceiling. The Phillies offense has been on fire through the first two games by putting up 13 runs and their team batting average of .290 in second in the league. Philadelphia is expected to once again give the Braves a run but it comes into today as an overpriced favorite, the biggest through the first three games of this series. Zach Eflin counters for the Phillies and he has had a rough go of it through his first six years as he has a 4.92 ERA covering 583.2 innings and has been limited the last two seasons because of injuries. Here, we play against home teams who had a poor bullpen last season with an ERA of 4.50 or worse, in an inter-league game. This situation is 29-11 (72.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (929) Oakland A's |

04-09-22 | Astros v. Angels +100 | Top | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES ANGELS for our MLB Saturday Sweet Spot. The Angeles have lost the first two games of this series including a 13-6 loss on Friday as they allowed eight runs in the seventh inning. There are high expectations in Los Angeles and while this is only the third game of the season, this could be an early turning point for confidence alone. They will take on Justin Verlander who is making his first start since undergoing Tommy John surgery and this is his first start in over 18 months. He has been sick on top of it so he is not going to be in top form tonight. The Astros are again the favorites to win the division but they will be more challenged than they have in recent years. They did not do much in free agency but lost Carlos Correa to the Twins as well as losing three key pitchers from their bullpen. They have looked good through the first two games but are in for a challenge in facing Noah Syndergaard who is making his Angels debut after spending his first six seasons with the Mets. Here, we play on road favorites with a money line of -110 or higher, good team from last season, outscored opponents by 0.5 or more rpg, after a combined score of 15 runs or more. This situation is 47-26 (64.4 percent) since 1997. 10* (978) Los Angeles Angels |

04-09-22 | Islanders v. Blues -130 | Top | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. LOUIS BLUES for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. St. Louis has won four straight games to force a tie for third place in the Western Conference. The Blues are coming off a win over Minnesota last night and they are 24-9-3-1 at home and they are outscoring opponents by over one gpg on home ice as they are ranked No. 4 in scoring offense and No. 8 in scoring defense. The Blues are 17-5 in their last 22 games when their opponent allows two goals or less in their previous game. The Islanders are coming off a big win at Carolina last night but they are still in ninth place in the Eastern Conference and they trail eighth place Washington by 11 points so there is a lot of work left. New York has won four of its last five road games but it is just 15-15-2-3 on the highway and this is a tough situation as it has struggled against top competition as it is 9-24 against the money line when playing against a team with a winning record this season. Here, we play on favorites against the money line off two or more consecutive home wins, playing eight or more games in 14 days. This situation is 64-14 (82.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (18) St. Louis Blues |

This is a play on the ST. LOUIS BLUES for our NHL Friday Breakaway. St. Louis has won three straight games and five of its last six to move into fourth place in the Western Conference, one point ahead of Edmonton and it has a chance to jump over Minnesota for third place with a win on Friday. The Blues are 23-9-3-1 at home and they are outscoring opponents by over one gpg on home ice as they are ranked No. 4 in scoring offense and No. 8 in scoring defense. St. Louis is 10-4 against the money line when playing against teams with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 this season. Minnesota won its first two games of this four-game roadtrip but lost at Nashville on Tuesday and overall, it has won nine of its last 11 games. The Wild are 19-14-0-3 on the road and while the offense has been solid, the defense is allowing 3.14 gpg on road ice which is in the bottom half of the league. Despite the solid run, there is little room for error and they are in a tough spot here. Minnesota is 2-7 against the money line revenging a loss where opponent scored five or more goals this season. Here, we play on home teams against the money line off two or more consecutive home wins playing eight or more games in 14 days.

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Milwaukee picked up the win that it needed last night as it closed on a 9-0 run to defeat the Celtics and it leapfrogged Boston into second place in the Eastern Conference but the Bucks cannot let up now and give it back. They close the season with back-to-back road games and this is the most winnable of the two with a trip to Cleveland on deck for Sunday. Milwaukee is 23-16 on the road and while it cannot clinch the No. 2 seed tonight, a victory puts the Bucks up a game with one to go and Boston having to travel to Memphis on Sunday. On top of the playoff positioning, the Bucks have not forgotten the nine-point home loss to the Pistons in the last meeting as a 17-point favorite. The Bucks are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a road favorite. Detroit had a three-game winning streak snapped with a loss to Dallas on Wednesday and the Pistons are now 13-27 at home. The Pistons are 0-5 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging a straight up loss as a home favorite of seven or more points, playing on back-to-back days. This situation is 87-48 ATS (64.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (515) Milwaukee Bucks |

04-07-22 | Astros v. Angels -113 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -113 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES ANGELS for our MLB Opening Day Sweet Spot. The Angeles are coming off a 77-85 season but are expected to make a move this year. They were killed with injuries last season as their three key players Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon played only 17 games together last season so if the core can stay healthy, they can knock the Astros off the top of the American League West. They will see where they stand right out of the gate as they host Houston with a fully healthy roster. Ohtani gets the opening day start following a solid 2021 season where he posted a 3.79 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 165 innings pitched. Staying healthy was big for him last season in winning the MVP and he has the chance for a breakout season on the mound to back that up. Houston is coming off a World Series loss against the Braves as it lost 4-2 that included a 7-0 loss in the clinching game. The Astros are again the favorites to win the division but they will be more challenged than they have in recent years. They did not do much in free agency but lost Carlos Correa to the Twins as well as losing three key pitchers from their bullpen. They were solid on the road last season but seven games off from their record at home. Framber Valdez counters for Houston and he posted a solid 3.53 ERA last season but his 1.34 WHIP was below average. He struggled in the postseason and the pressure is on him to develop as a true No. 1 starter and we do not think he is there yet. 10* (986) Los Angeles Angels |

04-07-22 | Maple Leafs -140 v. Stars | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
This is a play on the TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. Toronto is coming off a crazy game against Florida at it lost 7-6 in overtime after blowing a 5-1 lead by allowing five straight goals before tying it back up which sent it into overtime. The Maple Leafs are tied with the Rangers for third place in the Eastern Conference and they are just two points behind Carolina for second place. They are 20-12-3-1 on the road where they are averaging 4.00 gpg and that is easily the most on the road. Toronto is 17-4 against the money line after having won four of their last five games this season. Dallas is coming off a win over the Islanders and it has gone 7-2 over its last nine games. The Stars are in eighth place in the Western Conference as they are only four points out of fifth place but are just one point ahead of Vegas for ninth place. They are 22-9-1-0 at home which is keeping them in the mix and while they bring in a strong defense, this is obviously their biggest home test of the season. The Stars are 1-4 in their last five games when their opponent scores five goals or more in their previous game. Here, we play against home underdogs of +100 to +150 against the money line after having won four or five of their last six games, playing six or more games in 10 days. This situation is 40-12 (76.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (69) Toronto Maple Leafs |

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. This game could decide second place in the Eastern Conference which is important as it comes with home court advantage in the second round. Milwaukee trails Boston by a half game and this is its final regular season home game as it closes with games at Detroit and Cleveland. The Bucks are 26-14 at home and bring in the No. 3 ranked scoring offense at 115.2 ppg which is nearly identical to its home scoring average and they have averaged 119.1 ppg over their last 10 games. Milwaukee is 35-21 ATS in its last 56 home games against teams shooting 46 percent or better. Boston can lock up second place with a victory as it is riding a three-game winning streak to leapfrog the Bucks. The Celtics are 22-17 on the road and the close will be tough with this game and the season finale at Memphis. They bring in the No. 1 ranked defense in the NBA in both scoring and shooting so the Bucks will be challenged but they have averaged 111 ppg in the first three meetings which is seven points more ppg than what the Celtics are allowing on the season. Boston is 1-10 ATS in its last 11 games after two consecutive covers as a favorite. Here, we play against underdogs in the second half of the season allowing between 104 and 108 ppg going up against teams allowing between 108 and 114, after allowing 105 points or less two straight games. This situation is 31-10 ATS (75.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (504) Milwaukee Bucks |

This is a play on the VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. Vegas has won five straight games and now has 82 points but is still on the outside looking in as it is in ninth place in the Western Conference, one point behind Dallas and two points behind Nashville. The Golden Knights are 20-13-2-1 at home where they are averaging 3.36 gpg which is No. 11 in the league and this is with a pretty average power play. The remaining schedule is not easy with six of their final nine games taking place on the road so they have to take care of home ice. Vegas is 33-9 against the money line in its last 42 games off a win by one goal over a division rival. Vancouver has lost three straight games and is nine points out of the final playoff spot in the conference. The Canucks are 18-14-2-2 which is not horrible and it is strong enough to keep this number in range. They have a below average power play and their penalty kill on the road is fifth worst in the league at 73.7 percent. This is a revenge game as they lost 3-2 at home against Vegas on Sunday but we want no part of road revenge. The Canucks are 1-5 in their last six games when their opponent allows two goals or less in their previous game. Here, we play on favorites against the money line in the second half of the season with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 after having won four or five of their last six games, playing a losing team. This situation is 122-42 (74.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (54) Vegas Golden Knights |

04-06-22 | Nets -6 v. Knicks | Top | 110-98 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Brooklyn snapped a two-game losing streak with a win over Houston and the Nets remain in a tie with Atlanta for eighth place in the Eastern Conference. The Nets can claim that spot and a play-in home game if they win out which includes two remaining games at home against Cleveland and Indiana. They are 23-17 on the road which is 4.5 games better than it is at home so they have a big edge here. The Nets are ranked No. 7 in defensive shooting and face a Knicks offense ranked No. 27 in offensive shooting. Brooklyn is 17-7 ATS in road games after a game where they failed to cover the spread this season. New York is coming off a 30-point win at Orlando on Monday and they are back home and it has not been a big edge this season. New York is just 16-23 at home where it has lost four of its last five games. They possess a strong defense as they are ranked No. 6 in points allowed and No. 5 in shooting defense but face a Brooklyn offense that is ranked No. 9 in scoring offense and No. 4 in shooting offense. New York is 3-15 ATS in home games when playing against a team with a winning record this season. Here, we play against home underdogs off a road win by 10 points or more, with a losing record. This situation is 44-20 ATS (68.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (581) Brooklyn Nets |

This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Tuesday Star Attraction. Utah is in a tailspin as it has lost six of its last seven games to fall into the No. 6 spot in the Western Conference. The Jazz are just a half-game behind Denver for fifth place and that would be a big jump to avoid Golden St. in the first round. They are 27-11 at home and are outscoring opponents by close to 10 ppg and will be motivated here following road games in seven of their previous eight games. Utah is 21-9 ATS in its last 30 games after failing to cover six or seven of their last eight against the spread. Memphis has nothing to play for as it is locked into the No. 2 spot in the conference but continues to play at a high level as it has won seven straight games while winning 11 of its last 12. The most impressive run for the Grizzlies is the fact they have gone 20-2 when Ja Morant is not on the floor which is pretty amazing. Memphis has been solid on the road but will also be without Dillon Brooks, who is averaging 18.5 ppg and it has struggled in this spot recently as the the Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after having covered four or five of their last six games against the spread. This situation is 86-43 ATS (66.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (574) Utah Jazz |

This is a play on the DALLAS STARS for our NHL Non-Conf. Game of the Month. Dallas had a three-game winning streak snapped with a loss at Seattle on Sunday but is in a good bounce back spot here at a very good price. The Stars are 21-9-1-0 at home and have a huge edge with the power play where they are converting 23.3 percent of their chances. They are now in ninth place in the Western Conference as they trail Vegas and Nashville by just one point. Dallas is 10-3 against the money line revenging a loss where opponent scored four or more goals this season. The Islanders have won four straight games but they are still in ninth place in the Eastern Conference and they trail eighth place Washington by 11 points so there is a lot of work left. New York has won three straight road games but it is just 14-14-2-3 on the highway and this is a tough situation as its last nine games have come against Eastern Conference teams and it has struggled against top competition as it is 8-23 against the money line when playing against a team with a winning record this season. Here, we play on home teams against the money line with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 after having won three of their last four games, playing a losing team. This situation is 88-29 ATS (75.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (44) Dallas Stars |

This is a play on KANSAS JAYHAWKS for our NCAA National Championship Winner. The Jayhawks rolled over Villanova and they have won 10 straight games, nine of which have come by more than what they are favored by here. Kansas caught a break against Villanova as the Wildcats were without guard Justin Moore and it catches another break here with the ankle injury suffered by Armando Bacot. While he is expected to play, he will not be 100 percent and the Jayhawks will have a big edge down low. The Jayhawks are ranked No. 29 in scoring offense and No. 23 in shooting offense and on the other side, they finished No. 17 in adjusted defensive efficiency. The Jayhawks are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up win. North Carolina won an epic semifinal game over Duke to advance to the championship game in its first season under head coach Hubert Davis. The Tar Heels possess a solid offense but defense is their liability as they are ranked No. 279 in points allowed and No. 200 in defensive shooting. They like to run but could be limited here and the 17 offensive rebounds registered against Duke will not be matched here. North Carolina is 2-10 ATS in its last nine games away from home against teams averaging 77 or more ppg. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after four or more consecutive wins going up against an opponent after six or more consecutive wins.

This is a play on the COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS for our NHL Monday Breakaway. Columbus has lost six straight games but five of those were on the road and the other was a one-goal loss against the Islanders. The Blue Jackets are 15 points out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference so they have been eliminated and now it is all about pride. That pride will be on display in this second game of a back-to-back set after losing in Boston on Saturday 5-2. Columbus is 18-14-1-2 at home and the Blue Jackets are 7-1 against the money line in its last eight home games after three or more consecutive losses. Boston has won two straight and six of its last seven games but still sits in the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference. There is a lot of hockey left and the Bruins are just three points out of third place in the conference with 14 games remaining. Following a five-game homestand, they are 21-9-1-2 on the road and that is another reason for this big price. Boston is allowing just 2.36 gpg on the but does face a strong home offense as Columbus is averaging 3.43 gpg at home. Boston is 0-4 against the money line in its last four games after four or more consecutive overs. Here, we play on home teams against the money line after allowing four goals or more two straight games going up against an opponent after scoring four goals or more in four straight games.

Dallas is at a big disadvantage here on offense as it is ranked No. 26 in the league in scoring and faces a tough defense that is No. 18 in scoring defense and No. 11 in shooting defense. The Mavericks are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games.

The Jayhawks offense has remained potent and is ranked No. 29 in scoring offense and No. 23 in shooting offense. They are easily the deepest of the two teams and they have five players averaging double-digits in scoring.

It was costly for the Wildcats however as they lost guard Justin Moore who is averaging 15.3 ppg.

Here, we play on road teams where the line is +3 to -3 off a road loss by 10 points or more, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team. This situation is 132-84 ATS (61.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (557) Utah Jazz |

This is a play on the TEXAS A&M AGGIES for our NIT Tuesday Enforcer. Washington St. has rolled through its first three games of the NIT, beating Santa Clara, SMU and BYU by 13, 12 and 25 points respectively. The Cougars have a bad offense that is ranked No. 321 in the country in shooting and facing a tough defense. The Cougars are 0-5 ATS in their last five neutral site games.

The Aggies defense is ranked No. 110 in points allowed and No. 128 in shooting defense and has improved recently. They have allowed an average of 60.8 ppg over their last six games which is close to six points less ppg on their season average. The Aggies are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up win. 10* (650) Texas A&M Aggies |

This is a play on the COASTAL CAROLINA CHANTICLEERS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Coastal Carolina and South Alabama meet up again in the semis of The Basketball Classic. The Chantileers rolled through their first two games with wins over Maryland-Eastern Shore and Florida Gulf Coast by 24 and 16 points respectively.

03-28-22 | Bulls -3.5 v. Knicks | Top | 104-109 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 34 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Chicago snapped a two-game slide and a 1-5 run with a win over Cleveland on Saturday. The Bulls are now three and a half games out of first place in the Eastern Conference and three game out of the No. 4 spot in the conference which come with home court. They are 17-21 on the road which is nothing great but have the edge here based on their offense that is ranked No. 2 in shooting including No. 2 from long range. Chicago is 18-6 ATS as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points this season. New York is off a win over Detroit yesterday which makes in three straight wins, all of which came on the road. The Knicks are just 15-21 at home and are three and a half games out of the final spot in the Eastern Conference. New York is 2-11 ATS in home games after one or more consecutive wins this season. Here, we play on road teams off a road win against a division rival going up against an opponent off a road win by three points or less.

03-27-22 | 76ers +4.5 v. Suns | Top | 104-114 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Phoenix has won seven straight games and while we played against them on Wednesday against Minnesota, we are going against them here in a very tough matchup. The Suns are comfortably in first place in the Western Conference with a nine-game lead over Memphis. They are ranked No. 1 in shooting offense at 48.8 percent but are facing a solid defense that allows just 106.5 ppg which is No. 6 in the NBA. The Suns are 2-6 ATS in their last eight home games against teams with a winning road record. The Sixers have won three straight games following a 25-point win over the Clippers on Friday. They are now in first place in the Eastern Conference with a one-game lead over Miami and are just a game and a half out of fourth place. Philadelphia has moved up to No. 15 in shooting offense and remains the No. 1 free throw shooting team in the league. The Sixers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play against favorites after allowing 115 points or more in three straight games going up against an opponent after a win by 10 points or more. This situation is 39-14 ATS (73.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (523) Philadelphia 76ers |

03-27-22 | St. Peter's v. North Carolina -8 | Top | 49-69 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. St. Peter's is the story of the NCAA Tournament as it has taken out Kentucky, Murray St. and Purdue to make it to the Elite Eight. The Peacocks have won 10 straight games and have covered all of those which makes them a very public play here and the line value is against them. The offense remains below average as they are ranked No. 286 in scoring and No. 246 in shooting and while the defense has been one of the best in the country, it has mostly come against some week competition. North Carolina has had a vert impressive run as well with wins over Marquette, Baylor and UCLA to get here and it just seem inevitable that we will have another Duke and North Carolina matchup in the final season for Coach K. The Tar Heels come in with an offense that is ranked No. 28 in the country in scoring and that is obviously against much better competition as they have played a schedule ranked No. 35 in the country. North Carolina is 18-8 ATS in its last 26 games after having won four or five of their last six games this season. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after five or more consecutive wins, when seeded 13 through 16 in the NCAA tournament. This situation is 53-24 ATS (68.8 percent) since 1997. 10* (644) North Carolina Tar Heels |

03-26-22 | Bulls +2.5 v. Cavs | Top | 98-94 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Chicago has lost two straight games and has gone 1-5 in its last six and 3-10 over its last 13 games. The Bulls are now in fifth place in the Eastern Conference after leading it just a few weeks ago. They are 16-21 on the road which is nothing great but they are in a favorable spot here. The Bulls are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Cleveland has also lost two straight games and is in the No. 6 spot in the Eastern Conference. The Cavaliers are 23-13 at home and probably should be favored here but not for a reason. Cleveland is ranked just No. 23 in scoring offense and faces a much better offense. The Cavaliers are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games against teams with a losing road record. Here, we play on road favorites after being beaten by the spread by 24 or more points total in their last three games against opponent after going over the total by 30 or more points total in their last three games. This situation is 29-8 ATS (78.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (511) Chicago Bulls |

03-26-22 | Houston v. Villanova +2.5 | Top | 44-50 | Win | 100 | 8 h 48 m | Show |
This is a play on the VILLANOVA WILDCATS for our Elite Eight Game of the Year. This is a very similar situation like we had with Duke on Thursday as the better team is getting points. Houston is coming off an upset win over Arizona and is making another deep run in the tournament similar to last season. The Cougars have the top ranked shooting defense in the country, allowing just 37.2 percent but will be facing an underrated offense that has underachieved of late. Villanova has won eight straight games and has won all three tournament games rather easily. The Wildcats have not been great on offense of late but they have a perimeter weapon that can combat the Cougars defense as they are shooting 36.6 percent from long range which is No. 49 in the country. If this turns into a close game, Villanova has a huge edge as it shoots 82.5 percent from the free throw line which is the best in the nation compared to Houston which is shooting only 66.3 percent from the stripe, No. 334 in the country. Villanova is 7-1 ATS in its last eight games away from home after playing five consecutive games as favorite this season. 10* (640) Villanova Wildcats |

03-25-22 | Iowa State v. Miami-FL -2.5 | Top | 56-70 | Win | 100 | 11 h 34 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HURRICANES for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Miami is coming off an upset win over Auburn by 18 points following a win over USC as an underdog as well. The Hurricanes have won five of their last six games and they have won 15 games away from home which is one of the best in country. Miami is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 games when playing against a team with a winning record after 15 or more games. Iowa St. is also riding two straight wins as it took out LSU and Wisconsin as an underdog. The Cyclones have only eight wins away from home including the last two and this is not a good matchup with their offense ranked No. 277 in the country going up against an offense that is ranked No. 28 in the country in shooting offense. Here, we play against teams in the second half of the season allowing 63 ppg or less going up against teams allowing between 67 and 74 ppg, after scoring 55 points or less. This situation is 72-31 ATS (69.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (638) Miami hurricanes |

03-24-22 | Texas Tech v. Duke +1 | Top | 73-78 | Win | 100 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
This is a play on the DUKE BLUE DEVILS for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. After losing to Kansas in the Big 12 Championship, Texas Tech rolled over Montana St. and snuck out a win over Notre Dame to advance to the Sweet 16. The Red Raiders finished 12-6 in the Big 12 which was really good but it was in an average conference and they should not be a favorite here. They are ranked No. 10 in shooting defense but will be facing a tough offense here and they have struggled against potent offenses this season. Texas Tech is 2-13 ATS in its last 15 games away from home after allowing 60 points or less. Duke is coming off a come-from-behind win over Michigan St. and we were able to cover with them after the second half surge. The Blur Devils have 15 wins away from home and while their offense is ranked No. 9 in the county, they have a transition offense that can take away any defense. The Blue Devils are 6-0 ATS in their last six neutral site games as an underdog. 10* (630) Duke Blue Devils |

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Phoenix has won five straight games following a 4-4 stretch and the Suns are comfortably in first place in the Western Conference with a nine-game lead over Memphis. They are ranked No. 1 in shooting offense at 48.6 percent but are facing a solid defense here that is ranked No. 12 in shooting defense which is the best they will have seen during the winning streak. They do not have much to play for here as at this point, keeping healthy is the focus before Chris Paul comes back. Minnesota is coming off a loss at Dallas on Monday which snapped a four-game winning streak and a 10-1 run. The Timberwolves are in the No. 7 spot in the Western Conference which is just three and a half games out of the No. 4 slot that Utah has right now. The offense is ranked No. 1 in the NBA in scoring so they can keep pace here if it turns into a shootout. Minnesota is 11-0 ATS in its last 11 home game where the total is greater than or equal to 230. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 in the second half of the season in a game involving two teams allowing between 43.5 and 45.5 percent shooting after three straight games making 50 percent or more of their shots. This situation is 24-4 ATS (85.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (560) Minnesota Timberwolves |

03-22-22 | Hawks -1 v. Knicks | Top | 117-111 | Win | 100 | 12 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA HAWKS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Atlanta is coming off a home loss against New Orleans which put an end to a 4-1 run and the Hawks are 12-22 on the road but are in a good matchup spot. They remain in the No. 10 spot in the Eastern Conference and falling out of that is unlikely but they are just 2.5 games out of the home spot in the play in game. Atlanta is ranked No. 7 in the NBA in scoring and while facing a strong Knicks defense, the latter has been struggling. The Hawks are 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games against teams with a losing home record. New York lost to Utah on Sunday which snapped a two-game winning streak and a solid 5-2 run. The Knicks are the biggest disappointment in the Eastern Conference as they are five games behind Atlanta and tied with Washington to try and get into that final playoff spot. The defense is now ranked No. 8 in the league in scoring after being toward the top of the league and their offense remains a liability as they are No. 27 in both scoring and shooting. The Knicks are 1-7 ATS in their last eight home games. Here, we play on road favorites revenging a straight up loss as a favorite, off an upset loss as a home favorite. This situation is 150-91 ATS (62.2 percent) since 1996. 10* (539) Atlanta Hawks |

03-22-22 | Rangers v. Devils +150 | Top | 4-7 | Win | 150 | 10 h 44 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW JERSEY DEVILS for our NHL Eastern Conference Game of the Month. The Rangers are coming off two huge upset wins over Tampa Bay and Carolina on the road and are now tied for third place in the Eastern Conference with Pittsburgh. There is very little room for error as New York is just two points up on Boston for seventh place. The Rangers are 20-12-2-0 on the road but the scoring differential is not big as they are outscoring opponents by just +0.11 gpg on away ice. The Rangers are 0-4 in their last four games when their opponent allows five goals or more in their previous game. New Jersey has lost three straight games but all of those were on a West Coast roadtrip and it has won four of its last five home games. The Devils are 14-14-0-3 at home and that is playing into this number and we have to respect their 3.03 gpg scored at home. The Devils are 4-1 in their last five home games. Here, we play against road teams against the money line after allowing two goals or less in two straight games going up against an opponent after playing three straight games where eight or more total goals were scored. This situation is 30-10 (75 percent) since 1996. 10* (48) New Jersey Devils |

03-22-22 | St Bonaventure +3.5 v. Virginia | Top | 52-51 | Win | 100 | 12 h 26 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. BONAVENTURE BONNIES for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. St. Bonaventure rolls into the NIT Quarterfinals following a pair of road wins over Colorado and Oklahoma. The Bonnies have won four of their last five road games where they are 6-4 on the season and have an edge on both ends of the floor as they are ranked No. 104 in shooting defense and faces an offense that is not good while the offense is ranked No. 106 in shooting offense that counters defense that is not as good as it looks on paper. St. Bonaventure is 6-0 ATS in its last six games off an upset win as a road underdog. Virginia gets another home game after defeating North Texas by a bucket on the road. The Cavaliers defense as mentioned seems to be overrated as they are ranked No. 12 in points allowed but ranked just No. 160 in shooting defense so the pace will play a factor here. They are 11-6 at home but allowed 50 percent shooting in their last home game and the Bonnies can match that here. Virginia is 8-18 ATS in its last 26 games after allowing 25 points or less in the first half last game. Here, we play against home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a road win by three points or less going up against an opponent off a road win. This situation is 149-91 ATS (62.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (609) St. Bonaventure Bonnies |

03-21-22 | Raptors v. Bulls -4 | Top | 99-113 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Chicago is back home following a 0-3 roadtrip and it has gone 2-8 over its last 10 games. The Bulls are 25-10 at home and need to take advantage of that as they are now No. 5 in the Eastern Conference after leading the conference at one point that that long ago. They are just 3.5 games out of the No. 2 spot but also only a game and a half from falling into the play in group. Chicago is 14-2 ATS in its last 16 games after two straight games allowing 50 percent or higher shooting over the last two seasons. Toronto has won six of its last seven games and continues to move up in the conference as it is now No. 7 and just one game out of getting away from the play in round. The Raptors are coming off a win at Philadelphia last time out and has won six straight road games to improve to 23-15 on the road. The 88 points allowed against the Sixers were the fewest during the streak and allowed 106.8 ppg in the previous five wins. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points failing to cover the spread in eight or more of their last 10 games, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 80-41 ATS (66.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (530) Chicago Bulls |

Florida Gulf Coast and Coastal Carolina square off in the second round of The Basketball Classic after easy victories by both sides in round one.

Coastal Carolina took out Maryland-Eastern Shore by 24 points following a first round loss to Georgia Southern in the first round of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament. The Chanticleers are 12-6 at home which is nothing above average and they have gone just 3-3 over their last six home games. Coastal Carolina is 2-10 ATS in its last 12 games after a win by 15 points or more. Here, we play on road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season averaging between 74 and 78 ppg going up against teams allowing between 63 and 67 ppg, after a combined score of 165 points or more. This situation is 79-42 ATS (65.3 percent) since 1997. 10* (863) Florida Gulf Coast Eagles |

This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Denver is coming off a loss against Cleveland which snapped a two-game winning streak and the Nuggets are now 12-4 over its last 16 games. They are in sixth place in the Western Conference and just two and a half games out of fourth place for the final home court advantage spot. Denver is 20-13 at home and it has a potent offense that can counter the Boston defense that is ranked No. 1 in the league in defensive scoring and shooting. Denver is 15-2 ATS in its last 17 home games after three straight games where they made 50 percent of their shots or better. Boston has won two straight games and nine of its last 11 and 20 of its last 25 games. The Celtics have vaulted up to No. 4 in the Eastern Conference and they sit only five games out of first place and just two games out of second place. While the defense is the best in the NBA, the offense lags further behind as the Celtics are ranked No. 16 in scoring offense and No. 18 in shooting offense. Boston is 5-16 ATS in its last 21 games after two straight wins by 10 points or more. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 having won 20 or more of their last 25 games, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team.

03-20-22 | Jets -128 v. Blackhawks | Top | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show |
This is a play on the WINNIPEG JETS for our NHL Sunday Breakaway. Winnipeg is coming off a home loss against Boston on Friday which snapped a 4-1-0-0 run and the Jets hit the road in a good revenge spot. They are on the outside looking in with 66 points which is six points out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Winnipeg is 12-12-5-3 on the road and have won three of their last four games on the road. Winnipeg is 15-7 against the money line after allowing two goals or more in the third period last game this season.

03-20-22 | Michigan State v. Duke -6.5 | Top | 76-85 | Win | 100 | 9 h 54 m | Show |
This is a play on the DUKE BLUE DEVILS for our CBB Round of 32 Game of the Year. Michigan St. won three consecutive games before falling to Purdue in the Big Ten Tournament championship game. The Spartans have covered five straight games and that is playing into this line. They are very average on both ends of the floor as they are ranked No. 150 in scoring offense and No. 155 in scoring defense. Michigan St. is 8-18 ATS in its last 26 games away from home against teams making 45 percent of their shots or better. Duke is on a completely different run as it has lost two of its last five games while failing to cover and of those games and that is also playing a factor into the line for Sunday. The Blue Devils have won 14 games away from home and the offense has averaged nearly as many points away from home than in Cameron Indoor. Overall, the Blue Devils are ranked No. 9 in the nation in scoring offense and will give the Spartans fits especially in transition. Duke is 7-0 ATS in its last seven games away from home after one or more consecutive unders. Here, we play on favorites after failing to cover the spread in four or more consecutive games going up against an opponent after successfully covering the spread in four or more consecutive games.

This is a play on the MURRAY ST. RACERS for our CBB Saturday Enforcer. St. Peter's is coming off a monumental win over Kentucky as an 18-point underdog in the first round but they are in trouble here. The Peacocks have won eight straight games and while the Kentucky win was big, most came against some bad teams from the MAAC where they went 14-6. Murray St. has won 21 straight games and both sides of the ball have been dominant as the Racers are ranked No. 23 in scoring offense and No. 21 in scoring defense. The opposition has not been great either but they remain the No. 1 team of the mid-majors and should have no problem here. The Racers are 5-1 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after four or more consecutive wins, when seeded 13 through 16 in the NCAA tournament. This situation is 65-29 ATS (69.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (790) Murray St. Racers |

03-18-22 | Wright State +21.5 v. Arizona | Top | 70-87 | Win | 100 | 6 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the WRIGHT ST. RAIDERS for our First Round Game of the Year. Arizona enters the tournament as the No. 1 seed in the South Region and while being one of the best offenses in the country, this is a tough matchup against another strong offense. The Wildcats have won six straight games including three in a row to win the Pac 12 Championship. The Wildcats are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games as a favorite. Wright St. got out of the Horizon League and took out Bryant in the play in game in easy fashion. This is obviously a more difficult matchup and the team preaches defense which will be a key in spread like this. The Raiders are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play against favorites of 10 or more points playing with 5 or 6 days of rest, with a winning percentage of .800 or better playing a team with a winning percentage between .600 and .800. This situation is 37-12 ATS (75.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (779) Wright St. Raiders |

03-17-22 | Panthers v. Golden Knights +158 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 158 | 14 h 45 m | Show |
This is a play on the VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. Vegas returns home following a five-game road losing streak and it now sits in eighth place in the Western Conference with not much room as it is just a point ahead of Dallas and Vancouver. The Golden Knights now have to take advantage of home ice where they are 16-13-2-1 which is certainly nothing great but the line reflects that. The Golden Knights are 14-5 in their last 19 games following a loss of three or more goals. Florida lost to Los Angeles in the first game of this seven-game road trip but bounced back with a 3-2 win over San Jose on Tuesday. The Panthers are still the top team in the Eastern Conference with 88 points which is one-point ahead of Carolina. The Panthers are 15-7-2-4 on the road which is respectable but not good enough to warrant a price like this. The Panthers are 1-4 in their last five games against teams with a winning record. Here, we play against road teams against the money line in the second half of the season after having won four of their last five games with a winning percentage between .600 and .700 playing a team with a winning percentage between .501 and .600. This situation is 170-109 (60.9 percent) since 1996. 10* (72) Vegas Golden Knights |

03-17-22 | Vermont v. Arkansas -5 | Top | 71-75 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 33 m | Show |
This is a play on the ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS for our NCAA Tourney Thursday Top Play. Vermont is a very popular play to pull off the upset with its style of basketball but the difference in overall talent is just too much and the line is not reflecting that. The Catamounts have won eight straight games including rolling through the America East Tournament with wins of 39, 32 and 39 points which is a reason they are a popular choice here.

This is the first neutral count game of the season for Northern Kentucky and it comes in a respectable 7-7 away from home and the defense has led the way of late, allowing an average of 60.3 ppg during its current 7-1 run. The Norse are 8-0 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning straight up record. The Mastodons have won 10 straight games including a win over Illinois-Chicago to open the Horizon Tournament. The huge run to end the season put them in the No. 2 slot here as they finished in the tie for first place with Cleveland St. but lost out on the tiebreaker. IUPU-Fort Wayne was 1-1 during the season neutral court games while going 6-7 in true road games and while it possesses a solid offense, the defense of the Norse will be the difference here. The Mastodons are 6-16 ATS in their last 22 games away from home after scoring 75 points or more in four straight games. Here, we play on neutral court teams as a favorite or pickem averaging between 67 and 74 ppg going up against teams allowing between 67 and 74 ppg, after three straight wins by 10 points or more. This situation is 67-27 ATS (71.3 percent) since 1997. 10* (881) Northern Kentucky Norse |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Lakers are coming off a win over Golden St. on Saturday to snap a four-game losing skid and that puts them into ninth place in the Western Conference. Clearly, this team is not right but a win like that can give some great momentum and they are getting great number here. Los Angeles is still in the top third in the league in offense as it is ranked No. 13 in scoring and No. 11 in shooting which counterparts the opposing offense. The Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games against teams with a home winning percentage of less than .400. The Spurs have lost four straight games and are now two games out of the final playoff spot in the conference. This is a tough team to back right now even tough nine of their last 10 games have come on the road but they are still not a great team at home with an 11-19 record. Laying this number is too aggressive. The Spurs are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss. Here, we play on road teams in a game involving two teams allowing between 45.5 and 47.5 percent shooting, after four straight games allowing 50 percent or higher shooting.

The Wild are tied with Los Angeles for fourth place in the Western Conference with 67 points and head back home where they are 16-5-0-1 which is the third best home record in the conference. This is a good spot to get it back in gear and a favorable moneyline.

The Stars are back on the road where they are 11-13-0-2 and have one of the worst offenses in the NHL where they average just 2.31 gpg which is close to two goals per game less than what the Wild.

This is a play on the OHIO ST. BUCKEYES for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Ohio St. is coming off a win over Michigan St. following a pair of losses and the Buckeyes are 12-7 in the Big Ten Conference. They can lock up fourth place with a win and an Iowa loss against Illinois and that comes with the coveted double-bye that automatically puts them in the quarters.

This is a play on the USC TROJANS for our CBB Underdog Game of the Month. USC is coming off a 20-point loss against Arizona on Thursday as the Wildcats locked up the Pac 12 regular season title. The Trojans are now 14-5 in the conference and can grab the No. 2 spot with a win here against their biggest rival and the line value is huge. They are 9-2 on the road and they won the first meeting by three points and while the defense remains strong, the offense should have a better effort here after going just 27-68 against Arizona. The Trojans are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. UCLA has won two straight games following a loss at Oregon and the Bruins also have a shot at second place with a win but we do not care about that as the line value here is too good to pass up. They are 13-1 at home so this is definitely a test but the matchup is good. The pace has given the Bruins a solid scoring average bur they are shooting just 44.9 percent from the floor. UCLA is 17-33 ATS in its last 50 games off a road win by 10 points or more. Here, we play against favorites after two consecutive covers as a favorite going up against an opponent off a home blowout loss by 20 points or more.

The Citadel finished the regular season with a 35-point loss against Furman and that is a killer when it comes to entering a tournament.

The Bulldogs are 0-4 ATS in their last four games against teams with a losing straight up record.

This is a play on the PENN ST. NITTANY LIONS for our Big Ten Game of the Month. Penn St. is coming off a horrible loss against Nebraska as it fell by 23 points as a 10.5-point favorite. The Nittany Lions are 7-11 in the conference and they hit the road where they are 1-8 but half of those losses came by six points or less and there will be plenty of motivation following the loss against the Huskers. They bring in a strong defense than can counter the Illinois offense as they are ranked No. 78 in scoring defense and No. 84 in shooting defense. Penn St. is 20-7 ATS in its last 27 road games off a blowout loss by 20 points or more to a conference rival.

This is a play on the WYOMING COWBOYS as part of our CBB Wednesday Triple Play. After a great start to the season the Mountain West Conference, Wyoming has been stuck in neutral is it is just 2-3 over its last five games. The Cowboys are now 12-4 in the conference which is two games behind Boise St. but they can still take second place if they win here and against Fresno St. in the regular season finale. Wyoming is 8-4 on the road and it is solid on both ends of the floor, ranked No. 95 in scoring offense and No. 80 in scoring defense. Wyoming is 6-0 ATS as a road underdog of six points or less this season. It has been a good season for UNLV which is 17-12 overall including a 9-7 record in the conference but are likely out of a top four spot. The Rebels are 13-4 at home which is the reason they come in as the favorite here but four of the last five home wins have come against the four worst teams in the MWC, all of which have double-digit losses. Offense has been the liability this season as the Rebels are ranked No. 191 in scoring and No. 240 in shooting offense. UNLV is 1-10 ATS in its last 11 home games after playing four consecutive games as an underdog. Here, we play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 forcing 12 or fewer tpg, after five straight games committing 14 or less turnovers.

03-02-22 | Knicks +10.5 v. 76ers | Top | 108-123 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 24 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. It has been a rough stretch for the Knicks as they have lost five straight games including the last two by 15 and 16 points. This includes a home loss to the Sixers last time out and while road revenge is not a huge angle, this is a good spot to get it back. New York is 12-17 on the road which is nothing great but the percentage is better than its home record and the opposite can be said for Philadelphia. The knicks still have a strong defense that is ranked No. 8 in scoring and No. 7 in shooting percentage. The Knicks are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games playing on two days of rest. The Sixers have won and covered three straight games and the offense looks to already be in synch with James Harden entering the lineup. Philadelphia is 21-10 on the road but just 16-13 at home which is surprising since they have been one of the best home teams over the years. This is a letdown spot for sure with upcoming games against Cleveland, Chicago, Miami and Brooklyn, all of which are in the current playoff standings. Philadelphia is 4-13 ATS in its last 17 games after playing three consecutive road games. Here, we play on underdogs of 10 or more points after allowing 63 points or more in the first half in two straight games. This situation is 56-26 ATS (68.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (579) New York Knicks |

03-02-22 | Blues v. Rangers -105 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK RANGERS for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. St. Louis has won four straight games and currently sits in second place in the Western Conference but it is not going to catch Colorado which is 12 points ahead of the Blues. The last three wins have come against three of the six worst teams in the NHL so they are getting a little too much credit here on the road. They are 13-8-2-2 on the road but face a great home team that is in the mix of everything. St. Louis is 8-16 against the money line in its last 24 road games after scoring three goals or more in three straight games. The Rangers have lost two straight games to remain in the No. 6 slot in the Eastern Conference with 71 points. They are just seven points out of first place and are only three games out of third place so they have a shot to move up and the last home loss against Vancouver has to sting. New York is 17-5-1-2 at home while allowing just 2.32 gpg which is one of the best in the league and after allowing five goals to the Canucks, they will tighten up here. The Rangers are 9-1 against the money line in home games after playing a home game this season. Here, we play against road favorites against the money line in the second half of the season averaging 2.85 or more gpg on the season after four straight wins by two goals or more. This situation is 36-20 (64.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (64) New York Rangers |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Western Conference Game of the Month. The Lakers were booed off the court on Sunday following a 28-point loss against New Orleans. We played on Los Angeles in a similar situation three games back as it was on a three-game losing streak and came out with an inspired effort against Utah in a victory as a home underdog. This sets up very similar following two straight losses and we like the chance for a big bounce back here. The Lakers are 18-15 at home and they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. Dallas is coming off a win at Golden St. on Sunday as it overcame a 21-point deficit by outscoring the Warriors 33-13 in the fourth quarter. The Mavericks are now in fifth place in the Western Conference as they trail fourth place Utah by two and a half games. They are a respectable 16-14 on the road but they are just 3-6 ATS when favored in this price range between five and seven points and are dead even in shooting percentage offense and defense on the highway. Here, we play against road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after successfully covering the spread in four or more consecutive games, playing their 3rd road game in five days. This situation is 54-25 ATS (68.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (574) Los Angeles Lakers |
