Rating: 3 Unit PAC-12 Play of the Day Point guard Jaylen Hands averages a league-high 6.4 assists for the Bruins, who have lost six of their last nine games and are shooting a Pac-12-worst 61.1 percent from the foul line. Forward Chris Smith has cooled off considerably since averaging 9.7 points and six rebounds during the team’s first three conference games, and Bartow said Cody Riley and Jalen Hill could see more playing time in his place this week. One bright spot has been the play of guard Prince Ali, who is shooting 51 percent from the field and 48 percent from 3-point range in five Pac-12 contests. The clincher: Arizona State is 7-17-2 ATS in their last 26 vs. Pacific-12. |

Rating: 4 Unit PAC-12 Game of the Week All eyes will be on center Chase Jeter and whether he will play after leaving the win over the Beavers following a nasty spill on his back which caused him to miss the rest of the game as well as practice on Monday and Tuesday. The 6-10 junior transfer from Duke ranks second on the team in scoring (12.6) and leads the team in rebounding (7.2) while also shooting 62.1 percent from the floor.

The Cougars own one of the nation's top defenses while the Shockers have committed 35 turnovers in two American Athletic Conference games. Senior forward Markis McDuffie is surrounded by a lot of new faces and the Shockers are going through growing pains - including losing an 11-point lead in Saturday's overtime loss to Temple. The Cougars are also coming off a loss at Temple - which snapped their perfect start - but still have their 28-game home win streak intact. Houston, ranked among national leaders in scoring defense (60.1 points) and opponent field-goal percentage (36.3 percent), won two of three meetings with the Shockers last season. |

Duke won five consecutive games by at least 21 points - including four straight by 30 or more - before posting a 69-58 victory over Texas Tech last time out. The Tigers have regained their footing and won four straight after losing three of their previous four, but this easily will be their biggest test yet.

01-03-19 | NC State -2.5 v. Miami-FL | Top | 87-82 | Win | 100 | 13 h 36 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit ACC Play of the Day The lack of depth, exacerbated by the continued absence of forward Dewan Hernandez due to eligibility issues, figures to be problematic for the Hurricanes throughout the entire rugged ACC slate - beginning against a Wolfpack team getting hefty contributions from its deep, talented bench, with every player on the roster scoring in double digits in at least one game. Ten Wolfpack are in the rotation and average at least 12.6 minutes per game compared with just seven for Miami and N.C. State is using that depth to bring in fresh subs to play tenacious defense for coach Kevin Keatts and the result has been a 3-1 mark against Power 5 teams, including a 78-71 triumph over then-No. 7 Auburn. The Wolfpack bench has scored at least 40 points in six games, including a school-record 62 in a recent win over South Carolina Upstate, and the team as a whole is averaging 89.4 points per game (tied for sixth best in the nation), nearly 12 points better than Miami (77.6), which has been held below 76 in five of the last six games. |

Rating: 3 Unit Bowl Upset of the Day For the 2nd straight year, the Knights of Central Florida have made it through the regular season unscathed. And for the second consecutive season have been rewarded with a New Year's Day bowl game against an SEC power. A year ago, it was the Peach Bowl, vs the 10-3 & #7 Tigers of Auburn, who were expected to put an end to this false challenger. But things don't always pan out, & didn't in that one, as UCF (+9½) turned a 20-13 deficit in the 3rd, into a 34-20 lead in the 4th, en route to the 34-27 upset. Knight QB Milton was just 16-of-35, but 242 passing yards (2/0), along with 116 rushing yards (8.9 ypr). Before entering that one, the Knights barely got by Memphis, 62-55, in their AAC title game. Ditto this year, as UM (+3) led 38-21 at intermission, with 336 rushing yards, only to go down 56-41, with 65 2nd half rushing yards. Check a 252-134 rushing yard edge over Cincinnati, which out rushed its other 11 opponents. The loss of Milton (knee) on Nov 23rd mattered little as backup QB Mack was 19-of-27 for 348 passing yards & 2/0, while rushing for 4 TDs, with Knights totaling 34 first downs, 350 rushing yards, & 348 passing yards. And they haven't missed a beat, with the replacement of HC Frost, for Heupel. Another "upset"? |

Rating: 5 Unit Bowl Game of the Year Iowa HC Ferentz is 7-8 SU & 9-6 ATS in bowls, but most recently 1-5 SU & 2-4 ATS, with 4 wipe out losses in those 6. As usual, the Hawks again depend on their 7th-ranked defense, which more than offsets a 76th-ranked offense, that has topped 159 rushing yards only 4 times. QB Stanley has had his moments (23/9), but just 58.6 %. The Bulldogs finished at 4-1 SU & ATS, with a 160-49 point edge (+75½ points ATS). Fitzgerald is a bit of an heir-apparent to "do-all" QB Dak Prescott, with 1,615 rushing yards (15/7) & 1,018 yards (15 & 12 TDs). Thus, much attention to their offense, & deservedly so, but check ranking 10th, 6th, 3rd, & 1st in run, pass, total, & scoring defense, giving up just 12 TDs in 12 games. |

In last year's Belk, A&M led Wake 14-0, trailed 31-14, led 42-41, trailed 48-45, led 52-48, & lost 55-52, in last 2:18, with 636-614 yard deficit. This year was highlighted by its 74-72 seven OT win vs Lsu, behind 6 TD passes from Mond (no picks), who tied it on a 19-yard TD pass at the gun in regulation, along with 198 rushing yards from Williams, who ranks 3rd in the country with 1,524 yards (15 TDs). The Aggies are on a 13-6-2 ATS run, with one of their misses coming by a point in that Lsu contest. The Aggies are 5-2-1 ATS vs bowl teams this season |

Rating: 5 Unit Bowl Game of the Month Tech has been out rushed by 7 of their last 8 opponents, surrendering 465 & 492 rushing yards to Georgia Tech & Pitt. It is the exact opposite for the Bearcats, who've had the overland edge in 11-of-12 games (#14 run offense, #6 run defense). HCs Minter, Dantonio, Kelly & Jones had the 'Cats on a seemingly constant 10+ win run, only to have Tuberville gradually take them down the tube (4-8 in '16), before their transformation, under Fickell (from 4-8 to 10-2 SU, & from 100th & 96th in total offense & defense to 23rd & 7th this year). Ridder (2,359 passing yards, with 19 touchdowns and 4 interceptions), Warren (1,163 rushing yards, 17 TDs), & Lewis (1.4 yards per catch), along with that defense have 'Cats at +110 points ATS for the year.

12-29-18 | Florida v. Michigan -6 | Top | 41-15 | Loss | -110 | 96 h 24 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Bowl Game Play of the Day The Wolves were ranked 4th in the land, with a Final Four Playoffs spot a given, if they just took Ohio State in their season finale. Michigan went into that one on a 10-game winning streak by an average score of 39-13. But it wasn't to be, as the Buckeyes (+4) destroyed the Wolves, 62-39, with a 656-401 yard edge. And that vs a Michigan squad whose defense entered at 13.5 points per game, & 234.8 yard per game. Thus, from a playoff spot, to a lesser bowl, while plunging to #8 in the polls. This marks UM's 47th bowl, & 8th in the last 9 years (2-5 SU, & 2-4-1 ATS). No questioning the improvement under Harbaugh (38-14 SU) with the Wolverines finishing 4th, 1st, 3rd, & 1st in total defense, although they are just a 1-2 bowl proposition, spread wise. Opponents state that their devastating loss to the Buckeyes kills any focus or dedication for this contest. However, I remember in '15, when an identical 10-1 Michigan outfit was demolished, 42-13, also in its season finale vs the Buckeyes. Thus, a match with Florida in the Citrus Bowl. Did they care? As noted above, they must have, as they mauled the Gators, 41-7, as a field goal favorite, with a 503-273 yard edge. Mullen's arrival from Mississippi State, has turned Gator fortunes around, with a 6-1 start (5-1 ATS), before ending 3-2 (1-3 ATS), coming from 108th & 78th in scoring & rushing offense, to 25th & 26th, respectively, is a true improvement. But I just can't dismiss that '15 Wolverine bowl bounce back. |

Rating: 3 Unit CBB Play of the Day Ole Miss is off to a great start through its first 10 games under new coach Kermit Davis, but the Rebels' new boss will feel an emotional tug when his team faces his old team – Middle Tennessee State – on Friday in Nashville, Tenn. Davis led the Blue Raiders for 16 seasons, winning 63.8 percent of his games, and while his focus is on the Rebels, he admits today’s match up will not be just another game. The Blue Raiders are struggling under new coach Nick McDevitt, riding a seven-game losing streak after winning three of their first four games.

However, if the team's scoring average of 79.8 PPG could be maintained for a full season, it would be the highest mark since 1995-96! Nebraska's five starters are averaging between 8.1 and 18.7 PPG, led by James Palmer Jr. Despite the team's poor start, Oklahoma St is shooting a Big 12-best 41.6 percent from three-point range to rank 11th in Division I .The good news is, OSU’s Curtis Jones (an Indiana transfer) is now eligible but expect it to take some time for him to mesh with the other starter.

All he did was inherit a squad which was fresh off a 1-11 record in '16 (0-10 windup), as well as a 3-9 log in '15. He simply duplicated what he had done for Cal in '02, when he took over a 1-10 team, immediately turning it into a 7-5 outfit. Led by McMaryion (3,453 yards, 70%, 25/3), & WR Johnson (1,307 yards), Fresno is seeking its first-ever 12-win season.

Notre Dame has topped 30 points 7-of-8, & held a 300-yd rushing yard edge over Troy last year. Only 97 & 112 rushing yards for Trojans the L2 weeks, who are 3-11 ATS (1, 4, 1 point covers), & Daniels just 15 touchdown with 12 interceptions. |

11-19-18 | Nuggets +5.5 v. Bucks | Top | 98-104 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 0 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit NBA Play of the Day Look for Denver to try to get shooters in the corner open vs. the Bucks. Milwaukee is in the bottom half of the league in defending the 3-point line. Denver was in a bit of a funk and then they beat the Hawks before this trip started. When they lost to the Bucks 8 nights ago, Gary Harris had an off game going just 5 for 14. That was a mirage. Harris shot 50% from the floor and 49% from the field last season. They were in the Big Easy on Saturday and in that game Denver had one bad 12-minute stretch and it cost them. The Nuggets figure to be sky high to beat the hot Bucks and this season they have already knocked off the champs and Boston and the 10-5 Clippers. |

Rating: 4 Unit Big-12 Game of the Week Line opened at Baylor minus 1, and is now minus 2. How the pendulum doth swing. A near complete turnaround for these 2 this season. For the Bears, they've gone from last year's 1-11 log, to this season's 5-5, needing this for bowl eligibility. And for the Frogs, they've come from a perennial bowl squad (11-3 in '17), to a team which has been the victim of countless key injuries, resulting in a 4-6 log, with current spread runs of 0-7 & 1-10, failing to reach the 300-yard offensive plateau in 3 of their last 4 games, & are in off 47-10 loss to West Virginia (25-point ATS loss), while Bears pulled upset of Oklahoma State in their last home game. I'll lay the 2. |

11-16-18 | Knicks v. Pelicans -10 | Top | 124-129 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 47 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit NBA Play of the Day Coach Dave Fizdale is searching for the right combination for the Knicks. He’s been playing a deep bench and that is not always a good thing on a bad team. New York has lost 5 of 6 and the win was against the lowly Hawks. The Pelicans threw in a clinker on Wednesday in Minnesota with just 100 points. They were coming off a big win over Toronto so maybe they read their clippings. They only got 5 points off the bench vs. Minnesota and Anthony Davis had a poor shooting night going 9 for 25. If Nikola Mirotec can’t go with his ankle, Julius Randle should inherit his minutes. |

11-15-18 | Wichita State v. Davidson -3.5 | Top | 53-57 | Win | 100 | 1 h 54 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit CBB Play of the Day After an ugly home loss to Louisiana Tech, it looked like Wichita State might be a team that could be picked against. The Shockers were rescued by a career game from Markis McDuffie in the win over Providence with a career-high 32 points. They simply can’t rely on a such a game and the Wildcats are built to take advantage. The back court of Kellen Grady and Jon Axel Gudmundsson are a handful and the Shockers won’t be able to handle Davidson’s pace. |

11-10-18 | South Florida v. Cincinnati -12 | Top | 23-35 | Push | 0 | 97 h 38 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit CFB Game of the Week Line opened at Cincinnati minus 12, and is still minus 12. Guess who popped into the weekly Top 25 polls this week? Right, these Bearcats, who are more than deserving, despite their level of competition. They've been a huge step ahead of the odds makers all season. Just one slip, & that in narrow road loss to always dangerous (& underrated) Temple. Last week, they demolished a Navy team, 42-0, & in so doing, kept the Mids out of the end zone, which hadn't happend to them since '12. Cincy: a 451-171 yard edge, as well. The Bulls of South Florida have had the rug pulled out, with the departure of Flowers. Weekly squeakers, have evolved into 98-51 point deficit the last 2 weeks. |

Rating: 4 Unit SEC Game of the Week Line opened at Georgia minus 14½, and is now minus 14. Are their anymore non-believers in the brilliance that of this 'Dawg squad? Sure, their lopsided loss at Lsu didn't help, but that was simply a classic SEC home upset, which makes that league so special. Truth is, the 'Dawgs are still very much in the mix for the National Title playoffs, currently ranking 5th. Thus, no possibility of anything but full focus. A week ago, they simply crushed Kentucky's highly ranked rushing "D", with a 331-84 RY advantage, while the Tigers have run only on OleMiss' sieve "D", & have topped 33 points in 7-of-8 games. |

Rating: 3 Unit PAC-12 Play of the Day Cougar magic continues, taking Stanford in 0:19, after Minshew completed his first 19 passes in the 2nd half. And Washington State is on a 5-0 ATS run. No offensive TDs for Bears vs Washington, but still a 12-10 win (key: "pick-6"). Solid defense, but no match for Washington State at this site. |

Bowman another 323 passing yards last week, but 1 touchdown with 3 interceptions. Oklahoma never rests. In off a 702-yard effort in destruction of a Kansas State team that took Oklahoma State 31-12. Murray at 2,329 yards (28 touchdowns with 3 interceptions). OU: 18 straight road wins |

Rating: 4 Unit SEC Game of the Week Yes, we are fully aware of the fact that this series is rife with brutal, low scoring wars. The Tigers are on a 12-2 ATS run, & at +55½ points ATS in last 3 home games. But also note that Lsu was held without a TD in the L57:37 of its win over Mississippi State. Alabama is always a defensive marvel, but this year they own possibly their best-ever offense. Tagovailoa now 25 touchdowns with 0 interceptions, 70%. Tide rolls |

10-27-18 | Hawaii v. Fresno State -24 | Top | 20-50 | Win | 100 | 77 h 26 m | Show |
Rating: 4 Unit Inter-Conference Game of the Week Line opened at Fresno State minus 23½, and is now minus 24. Five straight wins for the Bulldogs, covering all 5 by a combined 60 points, which swells their current spread run to a very profitable 23-4-1 run. Their only slip (SU & ATS) this year came in an early season 21-14 loss to Minnesota, as 2-pt dogs. QB McMaryion is the perfect leader (now 14/2 TDs to INTs), & Fresno has allowed just 3, 3, & 7 points the last 3 weeks. Rainbows of Hawaii can move the ball, behind QB McDonald, who now stands at a remarkable 29/3 for the year. But 'Bows cannot run, & HI "D" has only contained formerly punch-less Wyoming |

10-27-18 | Iowa +7 v. Penn State | Top | 24-30 | Win | 100 | 71 h 43 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Big-10 Play of the Day Line opened at Penn State minus 5, and is now minus 6½-7. Weekly Nittany Lion romps have come to a close, dropping 2 of their last 3 contests, SU, but with a cumulative score of 76-76. Their brutal loss to Ohio State (led 26-14 with 6:45 left, only to lose 27-26 in the final 2:03) simply crushed them, as they followed that one up with 21-17 upset loss to Michigan State (were 13½ pt favorites). Both were at home, by the way. And last Saturday, they were outplayed in narrow 33-28 win over Indiana, as 14-pt favorites. QB McSorley has assumed too much of the "O" load. Hawkeyes a steady force, looking sweet as TD dog |

10-27-18 | Arizona State +3 v. USC | Top | 38-35 | Win | 100 | 1 h 14 m | Show |
Rating: 5 Unit PAC-12 Game of the Month Herman Edwards has switched ASU defensive system to 3-3-5 and opponents have been very hesitant to throw against it. USC hasn’t been able to run very well this season, and a pass-heavy plan as they prep #3 QB, red shirt freshman Jack Sears, would seem to be a good recipe for losing. There doesn’t seem to be a best-case scenario here for the home side. The Trojans’ defense suffered a major blow when linebacker Porter Gustin was lost for the season a couple of weeks ago. Giving up 40+ in defeat at Utah was not a good way to resume playing without him. The exposure could continue to be exploited. |

Rating: 4 Unit Big-10 Game of the Week Lions white-knuckling it, with 1, 4, & 5 point margins L3 games. A 48-43 point deficit in their L2 home games, & in off 32-20 first downs & 554- 417 this year deficits at 4-4 Indy. Penn State took Hawkeyes at the gun last year, & this should resemble that, although Iowa managed just 1 "O" vs MD. This to wire. |

However, Lawrence posted more than 300 rushing yards. And that "D". So a 104-10 point edge in L2 games. FSU cranking it up, behind QB Francois (353 passing yards vs Wake), but cannot run. Rout |

10-21-18 | Rams -9 v. 49ers | Top | 39-10 | Win | 100 | 26 h 52 m | Show |
Rating: 5 Unit NFL Game of the Year Battle of two young mastermind coaches in Shanahan and McVay. McVay definitely has the edge with a healthy QB. Hopefully, Garoppolo gets back to 100% next year, because this could be the rivalry that it was back in the '80s & '90s. Third straight road game for the Rams, having slipped by the Seahawks & Broncos (33-31 & 23-20). No question that L.A. is the NFL's premier ball-mover, behind Goff (1,928 passing yards) & Gurley (career-high 208 rushing yards last week), but Rams allowing 27.3 ppg in their last 3 outings. Niner "D" is just about at that level, so we'll take the better "O" here. |

10-20-18 | Oregon v. Washington State -2.5 | Top | 20-34 | Win | 100 | 26 h 59 m | Show |
Rating: Pac-12 Play of the Day Just that improbable OT loss to Stanford keeps 'Ducks from unbeaten ranks. Took Washington in OT, by twice freezing Husky placekicker, on final play. Herbert: another 2/0, & now at 17 touchdowns with 5 interceptions. But offensive line is hurting. Washington State also 5-1 (39-36 loss to Usc). Minshew in off 430 passing yards (5/0) & Wash State is at 38.6 points per game in its L7 home games (14-4 ATS at home). |

10-20-18 | Memphis v. Missouri -10 | Top | 33-65 | Win | 100 | 5 h 52 m | Show |
Rating: 3 UnitInter-Conference Game of the Day Line opened at Missouri minus 7, and is now minus 10. Sure, the line swing is hardly welcomed here, but, this sets up nicely. Catching the Tigers of Memphis, off being crushed in the one that they've been pointing all season, gives us a perfect spot to jump in. In its 31-30 loss to unbeaten Central Florida, Memphis held 31-14 lead over the Knights, in the 2nd, only to be held scoreless over the final 32:04, not exactly what this offense is accustomed to. Mizzouri's loss to mighty Alabama was nearly on script (28-point dog, 29-point loss), so no letdown. Offense galore, with the emotional edge to Missouri. |

Rating: 4 Unit NCCAAF Game of the Week Cadets are something else. Check their current 5-0 spread run by 95½ points. A better than 300 rushing yard edge in latest romper, vs San Jose State. 'Hawks in off 29 & 14 point covers (led Kent 30-0), but were at just 132 rushing yards per game, before posting 295 vs Kansas State's paper defense. Use Army/Buff as a barometer. |
