The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Washington has done well against physical teams noting they are 11-3 ATS (+7.7 Units) when competing against good foul drawing teams attempting >=25 free throws/game over the last two seasons. Further, head coach Romar is 24-8 ATS (+15.2 Units) as an underdog of 10 or more points in all games he has coached since 1997; 21-9 ATS (+11.1 Units) after 3 or more consecutive losses in all games he has coached since 1997. Take Washington.

25* graded play on Princeton as they take on Brown in Ivy League action set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Princeton will win this game by 11 or more points. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Brown is just 17-32 ATS (-18.2 Units) in road games when their opponents make 38% to 45% of their 3 pointers in a game since 1997. Princeton has been a money making 48-29 ATS (+16.1 Units) when they make 72% to 78% of their free throws in a game since 1997. Brown had lost five straight games until defeating Dartmouth 67-64 in their last game and covered as 1 1/2 point dogs. However, Brown is an imperfect 0-7 ATS (-7.7 Units) in road games after having lost 3 of their last 4 games over the last 3 seasons; 0-7 ATS (-7.7 Units) after allowing 25 points or less in the first half last game over the last 2 seasons. Take Princeton. 

02-13-15 Kent State v. Toledo -8.5 Top 76-75 Loss -105 7 h 42 m Show

25* graded play on Toledo as they host Kent State in MAC action set to start at 6:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Toledo will win this game by more than 9 points. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 61-27 ATS mark good for 69% winners since 1997.  Play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points (KENT ST) after going under the total by more than 12 points in two consecutive games and in a game involving two good teams winning between 60% to 80% of their games. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Toledo is a solid  9-2 ATS (+6.8 Units) when they make 31% to 37% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 2 seasons;  33-16 ATS (+15.4 Units) in home games when playing only their 3rd game in a week since 1997. Toledo is off a huge 92-88 win at Buffalo installed as a 5 point road dog. This is very good news for this game noting that Toledo is  19-7 ATS (+11.3 Units) off an upset win as a road underdog since 1997. Further, HC Senderoff is 0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) in road games after 2 straight games where opponent was called for 15 or less fouls as the coach of Kent State.

02-12-15 Cal State Fullerton +8 v. UC-Davis Top 69-75 Win 100 5 h 2 m Show

25* graded play on Cal State - Fullerton (CSF) as they take on Cal-Dvis (CD) in Big West Conference action set to start at 10:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that CSF will lose this game by fewer than 8 points and has a decent shot at winning the game. I like adding a 3* money line play to the 25* line play to take advantage of this upset bid. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 31-9 ATS mark good for 78% winners since 2009.  Play against home team (CAL DAVIS) after having covered 5 or 6 of their last 7 against the spread and is a top-level team winning >= 80% of their games and is now playing a struggling team winning between 20% to 40% of their games played. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. CD is just  5-15 ATS (-11.5 Units) in home games after successfully covering the spread in 2 or more consecutive games since 1997. UCD star guard, Corey Hawkins, is listed as questionable with a calf injury. He is the team leader in minutes (34), points (21.3), rebounds (5), assists (4), and steals (1.5). Even if he plays, the calf injury has to be factor in his overall play, especially in first steps and rebounding. Take CS-Fullerton. 

02-12-15 Stanford v. Utah -9.5 Top 59-75 Win 100 4 h 2 m Show

25* graded play on Utah as they host Stanford in PAC-12 action set to start at 9:00 PM ET.   The simulator shows a high probability that Utah will win this game by 12 or more points. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game.  Utah is a rock solid 14-4 ATS (+9.6 Units) when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last 3 seasons; 8-1 ATS (+6.9 Units) when they make 38% to 45% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 2 seasons;  9-1 ATS (+7.9 Units) when they attempt 4 to 9 more free throws than opponents in a game over the last 2 seasons; 11-2 ATS (+8.8 Units) when they allow 61 to 66 points in a game over the last 2 seasons; 38-13 ATS (+23.7 Units) when they grab 40 to 44 rebounds in a game since 1997;  50-17 ATS (+31.3 Units) when they score 75 to 80 points in a game since 1997. Utah has modest advantages in the offensive stats over Stanford. However, the glaring edge is on the defensive end. Utah ranks 11th in the nation in scoring defense and 121st posting a 0.740 opponent assist-to-turnover ratio. Stanford ranks a dismal 174th in scoring defense and 200th with a 1.004 opponent assist-to-turnover ratio. Take Utah.

02-12-15 Texas-Arlington +3 v. Texas State Top 70-61 Win 100 4 h 48 m Show

25* graded play on Texas-Arlington as they take on Texas State in Sun Belt Conference action set to start at 8:30 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Texas Arlington will win this game. Given that they are 3 point dogs, I like making this a combination wager using a 21* play on the line and a 4* play using the money line. Should the line move to 2 1/2 then play it as a 25* wager using the line only. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Texas - Arlington is a solid 10-2 ATS (+7.8 Units) in slower paced games where they attempt 46 to 53 shots over the last 2 seasons; 12-3 ATS (+8.7 Units) in road games when they commit 14 to 18 turnovers in a game over the last 3 seasons; Texas State is just  3-15 ATS (-13.5 Units) when they grab 9 to 13 offensive rebounds in a game over the last 2 seasons;  1-10 ATS (-10.0 Units) in home games when they force 14 to 18 turnovers in a game over the last 3 seasons. I expect the duo guard play of Jonny Hill and Lonnie McClanahan to dominate this matchup and led their team to a win. Take Texas- Arlington. 

02-12-15 Siena +3.5 v. Marist Top 66-64 Win 100 3 h 4 m Show

25* graded play on Siena as they take on Marist in MAAC action set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Siena will win this game. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Marist isa coming off another drubbing at the hands of Iona losing 89-67 and failing to cover as 14 point dogs. Marist is just 1-9 ATS (-8.9 Units) off a road loss by 10 points or more over the last 2 seasons. Unfortunately, Marist is one of the worst teams in D-1 this season ranking 300th or worse in the majority of offensive and defensive categories. Even though they are favored in this game, I just don't see them winning. Siena ranks 68th in the nation scoring 68 PPG and a 124th in assist-to-turnover ratio. This are not elite numbers, but when compared to Marist they do stand out. Marist ranks 313th in scoring offense and 307th in assist-to-turnover ratio. Take Siena. 

02-12-15 Purdue -6 v. Rutgers Top 61-51 Win 100 2 h 3 m Show

25* graded play on Purdue as they take on Rutgers in Big Ten action set to start at 7:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Purdue will win this game by 8 or more points. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Purdue is a near-perfect  8-1 ATS (+6.9 Units) when they allow 60 or less points in a game over the last 2 seasons;  15-4 ATS (+10.6 Units) when they grab 40 to 44 rebounds in a game over the last 3 seasons. On the other side of the matchup, Rutgers is just 5-16 ATS (-12.6 Units) when they make 34% to 39% of their shots in a game over the last 3 seasons; 2-10 ATS (-9.0 Units) in home games when they make 31% to 37% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 3 seasons; 3-13 ATS (-11.3 Units) in home games when they allow 67 to 74 points in a game over the last 3 seasons; 2-11 ATS (-10.1 Units) when they score 60 or less points in a game this season. Purdue is a very deep team. They have just two players scoring in double digits, but they have four more players scoring 8.5 PPG or more. Purdue is the better rebounding team and they certainly are the better ball handling team. Rutgers ranks 264th with a 0.829 assist-to-turnover ratio while Purdue is a solid 62nd with a 1.174 ratio. A number below 1.000 indicates more turnovers than assist per game. A number above 1.000 indicates better ball handling with a greater number of assists than turnovers. Take Purdue.

02-11-15 Air Force +9.5 v. Boise State Top 42-67 Loss -105 6 h 41 m Show

25* graded play on Air Force as they take on Boise State in Mountain West Conference action set to start at 9:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Air Force will lose this game by fewer than 7 points. I also like adding a 2* Play using the money line to the 25* play using the money. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 53-24 ATS mark good for 69% winners since 2009. Play on road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points (AIR FORCE) revenging a same season loss vs opponent, off 2 or more consecutive home wins.The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game.

25* graded play on St. Johns as they host DePaul in Big East Conference action set to start at 9:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that St. Johns will win this game by 14 or more points. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. St. Johns is a solid 60-36 ATS (+20.4 Units) when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game since 1997; 8-0 ATS (+8.0 Units) when they make 31% to 37% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 3 seasons.;  66-39 ATS (+23.1 Units) when they make 72% to 78% of their free throws in a game since 1997.

25* graded play on South Florida as they take on UCF in American Conference action set to start at 7:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that South Florida will win this game. It's a skinny line showing UCF favored by 1 1/2 points, so there is little value in making the money line play. Stay the course and play a 25* unit amount using the line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 112-65 ATS mark good for 63.3% winners over the last five seasons. Play against home teams as a favorite or pick (UCF) after failing to cover the spread in two or more consecutive games and is a marginal losing team winning between 40% to 49% of their games and is now playing a losing team. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. UCF is just 5-13 ATS (-9.3 Units) when they grab 9 to 13 offensive rebounds in a game over the last 2 seasons;  7-17 ATS (-11.7 Units) when they commit around the same number of turnovers (+-3) as opponent over the last three seasons. SF is a rock solid  38-20 ATS (+16.0 Units) versus teams who are called for 17 or less fouls/game after 15+ games since 1997; UCF is just 3-12 ATS (-10.2 Units) when playing against a team with a losing record over the last 3 seasons. SF is off of a 63-58 loss at Cincinnati and easily covered as 15 point dogs. Note that SF is  a perfect  8-0 ATS (+8.0 Units) in road games after a combined score of 125 points or less over the last 2 seasons. Take South Florida.

02-10-15 Arkansas v. Auburn +5.5 Top 101-87 Loss -105 8 h 56 m Show

Play against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (ARKANSAS) average shooting team hitting 42.0 to 45% of their attempts and is now competing against a struggling shooting team making between 40 and 42.5% of their shots after 15+ games and after game allowing a shooting percentage of 33% or less. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Arkansas has not traveled well noting a horrid 2-10 ATS (-9.0 Units) as a road favorite or pick over the last three seasons. Moreover, they are 12-33 ATS (-24.3 Units) in road games after covering 3 of their last 4 against the spread since 1997. Arkansas is off a 20 point dominating win over Mississippi State Saturday. However, they are just 3-12 ATS (-10.2 Units) in road games off a blowout win by 20 points or more over a conference rival since 1997. Take Auburn.

02-10-15 Cincinnati v. Temple -3 Top 59-75 Win 100 6 h 26 m Show

25* graded play on the Temple Owls as they take on Cincinnati in American Conference action set to start at 7:30 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Temple will win this game by four or more points.

25* graded play on Notre Dame as they take on Clemson in ACC action set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Notre Dame will win this game by 5 or more points. Notre Dame was slammed in revenge form by Duke in their last game. I feel confident that this excellent team with elite coaching will bounce back strong with an important road win. Notre Dame's offense is just too much for Clemson to handle. Notre Dame ranks 8th in scoring offense and 26th in assists per game and FOURTH in the all-important assists-to-turnover ratio. Clemson ranks 31st in scoring defense, but in large part attributed to their plodding offense that ranks 277th in scoring and 203rd in shot attempts per game. Notre Dame has an immeasurable advantage playing their higher paced tempo on Clemson. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Clemson is an imperfect 0-7 ATS (-7.7 Units) when their opponents make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last two seasons; 2-15 ATS (-14.5 Units) when they allow 67 to 74 points in a game over the last 3 seasons. Take Notre Dame.

Given this favorable projection I like making this a combination wager comprised of a 21* play using the line and a 4* play using the money line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. ISU is a solid  13-4 ATS (+8.6 Units) when they make 72% to 78% of their free throws in a game over the last 3 seasons. This is the type of matchup where FT shooting will be a critical part of ISU winning this game. ISU is an excellent ball movement and distribution type team. They average 17.8 assists per game led by Monte Morris, who has team highs in minutes (33) and assists (5.7). As team they rank first in the nation in assists-per-game and 6th with a 1.570 assist-to-turnover ratio. This clearly sows that they do not make mistakes and if anything they will force Oklahoma into mistakes and exploit them for scores. Take Iowa State.

25* graded play on Siena as they take on St. Peters in MAAC action set to start at 7:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Siena will lose this game by fewer than 4 points and has a great shot at winning this game.

Further, St. Peters has been a money burning  1-7 ATS (-6.7 Units) as a home favorite or pick this season;  6-15 ATS (-10.5 Units) after allowing 30 points or less in the first half in 2 straight games over the last 2 seasons. Take Siena.

25* graded play on Duke as they take on Florida State in ACC action set to start at 7:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Duke will win this game by 15 or more points. I had Duke Saturday in their 30-point blowout win over Notre Dame and I fully expect more of the same in this matchup. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 54-24 ATS mark good for 69% winners since 1997. Play against home underdogs of 10 or more points (FLORIDA ST) excellent team shooting >=45% with a defense of

25* graded play on Valparaiso as they take on Oakland in Horizon League action set to start at 3:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Valparaiso will win this gam,e by 10 or more points. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 34-9 ATS mark good for 79% winners since 2009. Play against home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (VALPARAISO) revenging a road loss to opponent of 10 points or more and is off a home no-cover where the team won straight up as a favorite.

Valparaiso is a solid  16-4 ATS (+11.6 Units) when they grab 40 to 44 rebounds in a game since 1997;  31-15 ATS (+14.5 Units) when they score 75 to 80 points in a game since 1997. Oakland is a money burning 8-21 ATS (-15.1 Units) after 5 straight games committing 14 or less turnovers over the last 3 seasons. Take Valparaiso.

25* graded play on Rider as they host Manhattan in MAAC action set to start at 2:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Rider will win this game by five or more points.

Manhattan is a money burning  0-4 against the money line (-12.9 Units) after allowing 30 points or less in the first half in 2 straight games over the last 2 seasons. Take Rider.

02-07-15 Gonzaga v. San Francisco +13.5 Top 81-70 Win 100 11 h 50 m Show

35* graded play on San Francisco as they host Gonzaga in West Coast Conference action set to start at 11:30 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that SF will lose this game by fewer than 10 points. Add a 1.5* amount using the money line just in case this DOG pulls off the huge upset. Revenge is an often over used and largely misunderstood sports term. Yet, in this game revenge is certainly validated knowing that SF Head Coach Walters is 22-8 ATS (+13.2 Units) revenging a same season loss versus opponent. Gonzaga defeated SF 88-57 and covered as 20 1/2 point favorites on January 8. Moreover, Head Coach Few is 3-11 ATS (-9.1 Units) after 2 straight games where they made 55% of their shots or better as the coach of Gonzaga. Adding to this is the fact that Few is after 2 straight games shooting 55% or higher and allowing 45% or lower. Gonzaga shot 69% and allowed 42% shooting in their 77-63 win at Santa Clara, but failed to cover as 15 point favorites. In the second to last game, they shot 55% and allowed 35% shooting in a 82-64 mauling of Memphis and covered by the hook. This is not a good situation for Gonzaga and in my opinion the line is grossly over inflated. Take San Francisco.

02-07-15 SMU -102 v. Tulsa Top 68-57 Win 100 8 h 50 m Show

25* graded play on SMU as they take on Tulsa in an American Conference matchup set to start at 8:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that SMU will win this game by four or more points. Although SMU is currently ranked 23rd in the nation, they have two conference losses while Tulsa is a perfect 10-0. Don't be fooled though as Tulsa must play SMU twice and third-place Cincinnati in the coming weeks. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. SMU is a solid 22-11 ATS (+9.9 Units) when they commit 14 to 18 turnovers in a game over the last 3 seasons. In addition, we note that SMU is  17-6 ATS (+10.4 Units) after having won 4 of their last 5 games over the last 2 seasons;  21-9 ATS (+11.1 Units) after having won 6 or 7 of their last 8 games over the last 2 seasons. Tulsa HC Haith is 3-16 ATS (-14.6 Units) after 3 straight games where opponent grabbed 31 or less rebounds in all games he has coached since 1997. SMU is a much better ball movement and rebounding team than Tulsa. SMU ranks 16th in the nation averaging 16 assists-per-game while Tulsa is a distant 285th averaging just 10.7 assists-per-game. SMU is allowing opponent just 28 rebounds per game good for fourth best in the nation. Tulsa ranks 185th in the same category. Strong ball movement and strong rebounding will be the dominant keys to a big SMU win. Take SMU.

In addition, UVA is an outstanding 19-4 ATS (+14.6 Units) when playing against a team with a winning record after 15 or more games over the last 2 seasons. Take Virginia.

St. Louis is a money burning  7-16 ATS (-10.6 Units) when they make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game over the last two seasons; 4-13 ATS (-10.3 Units) when their opponents make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game over the last 2 seasons; 2-10 ATS (-9.0 Units) when they make 31% to 37% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 2 seasons; 1-7 ATS (-6.7 Units) when they force 14 to 18 turnovers in a game this season;  6-16 ATS (-11.6 Units) when they commit 14 to 18 turnovers in a game over the last 2 seasons. In addition a matchup trend shows that St. Louis is a horrid  2-13 ATS (-12.3 Units) after a game where they covered the spread over the last 2 seasons. Take Fordham.

25* graded play on Villanova as they take on Georgetown in Big East Conference action set to start at 2:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Villanova will win this game by 10 or more points. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. 'Nova is  17-7 ATS (+9.3 Units) when they attempt 54 to 62 shots in a game over the last 2 seasons; 15-5 ATS (+9.5 Units) when their opponents make 31% to 37% of their 3 pointers in a game over the last 3 seasons; 12-4 ATS (+7.6 Units) when they attempt 19 to 24 free throws in a game over the last 2 seasons; 11-3 ATS (+7.7 Units) when they attempt 4 to 9 more free throws than opponents in a game over the last 2 seasons; 19-6 ATS (+12.4 Units) when they grab 9 to 13 offensive rebounds in a game over the last 2 seasons;  13-4 ATS (+8.6 Units) when they commit 3 to 7 fewer turnovers than their opponents over the last 2 seasons; 12-2 ATS (+9.8 Units) when they score 67 to 74 points in a game over the last 2 seasons; 13-3 ATS (+9.7 Units) when they commit 10 to 13 turnovers in a game over the last 2 seasons. Take Villanova. 

02-07-15 Providence v. Xavier -6 Top 69-78 Win 100 3 h 32 m Show

25* graded play on Xavier as they take Providence in Big East Conference action set to start at 1:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Xavier will win this game by 9 or more points. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Xavier is a solid 14-3 ATS (+10.7 Units) when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last 2 seasons;  92-48 ATS (+39.2 Units) when they make 79% or more of their free throws in a game since 1997. In addition, in a matchup trend we note that Xavier is a solid 17-5 ATS (+11.5 Units) in home games when competing against good teams outscoring their opponents by 4+ points/game over the last three seasons. Xavier is one of the best ball handling teams in the nation. They rank ninth best with a 1.457 assist-to-turnover ratio and rank fifth averaging 17 assists-per-game. Strong ball handling will be a major key to Xavier winning this game by double digits. Take Xavier. 

02-07-15 Notre Dame v. Duke -9 Top 60-90 Win 100 3 h 32 m Show

25* graded play on Duke as they take on Notre Dame in ACC Conference action set to start at 1:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Duke will win this game by 12 or more points.  The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Duke is a rock solid 24-10 ATS (+13.0 Units) when they score 81 or more points in a game over the last 3 seasons. Notre Dame is just 18-43 ATS (-29.3 Units) in road games when their opponents make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game since 1997. Duke plays solid fundamental defense and rarely takes chances on getting steals. The fact that they do not force trunovers is not a reflection of how well they do play on that end. In fact, ND is just 8-23 ATS (-17.3 Units) when competing against minimal pressure defensive teams forcing

02-06-15 Pennsylvania v. Cornell -5.5 Top 71-69 Loss -110 6 h 41 m Show

25* graded play on Cornell as they take on Penn in Ancient Eight action set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Cornell will win this game by more than 9 points. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. I am confident in stating that I do not see Penn scoring more than 60 points. In past games, Penn is a money burning 4-12 ATS (-9.2 Units) when they score 60 or less points in a game over the last 2 seasons. In addition, Cornell is a solid  71-20 ATS (+49.0 Units) when they allow 60 or less points in a game since 1997;  33-14 ATS (+17.6 Units) when they allow 55 to 60 points in a game since 1997. Further, Cornell is a solid 64-36 ATS (+24.4 Units) when they grab 34 to 39 rebounds in a game since 1997. Situationally, Cornell is a near-perfect 8-1 ATS (+6.9 Units) when playing against a team with a losing record over the last 2 seasons. Penn struggles on offense ranking 290th in scoring offense and a horrid 321st in assist-to-turnover ratio. Cornell plays a slower style of game than other Conference teams, but is dominated by their defense that ranks 65th in scoring defense and 129th in assist-to-turnover ratio. I simply see Cornell's defense dominating this game and leading them to a double digit win. Take Cornell.

02-04-15 San Jose State +19 v. Fresno State Top 63-81 Win 100 11 h 11 m Show

25* graded play on the San Jose State as they take on Fresno State in Mountain West Conference action set to start at 10:00 PM ET. Granted, San Jose State is arguably one of the worst teams in NCAA basketball this season. Yet, Fresno State is not all that excellent either and I just don't see how in the world they should be installed as double-digit favorites - let alone 19 points. The simulator shows a high probability that SJST will lose this game by fewer 15 points. San jose is the second-worst scoring offense ranking 350th in the nation scoring just 50.8 PPG. Grambling is the worst at 49.1 PPG. In a much more meaningful stat, assists-to-turnover ratio, we see these teams are quite similar. FSU ranks 293rd with a 0.783 ratio while SJST ranks 329th with a 0.662 ratio. Even more important is that SJST is a much better ball movement team than FSU. SJST ranks 215th with a 0.515 assist-to-FG made ratio while FSU is a distant 341st in this category posting a 0.783 ratio. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. FSU is an imperfect  0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) after scoring 25 points or less in the first half last game this season. Take San Jose State. 

02-04-15 Washington v. Oregon -5.5 Top 74-78 Loss -110 10 h 10 m Show

25* graded play on Oregon as they take on Washington in PAC-12 action set to start at 9:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Oregon will win this game by 9 or more points. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 43-16 ATS mark good for 73% winners since 1997. Play on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points (WASHINGTON) off a loss to a conference rival as a favorite of 6 points or more and now facing an opponent off an upset win as a road underdog. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Washington Center Robert Upshaw has been dismissed from the team due to disciplinary reasons. This has left a big hole on the rebounding end as he was the team leader averaging 8.2 RPG and was also scoring 11 PPG. Oregon has three very strong players in Guard Jospeh Young with team highs in minutes (36) and scoring (19PPG), and assists (3.6). Dillon Brooks plays forward and plays 28 minutes averaging 12.7 PPG and 4.6 rebounds. The other starting forward is Elgin Cook averaging 27 minutes and 13 PPG and a team high in steals (1.2). This trio will dominate Washington with no true rim protector. Take Oregon. 

02-04-15 Jacksonville State +18 v. Memphis Top 48-74 Loss -105 9 h 11 m Show

25* graded play on Jacksonville State as they take on Memphis in a rare inter-conference matchup set to start at 8:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that JAX State will lose this game by fewer than 15 points. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 117-68 mark good for 63% winners since 2009. Play against home favorites of 10 to 19.5 points (MEMPHIS) that is an average three-point shooting team making between 32 and 36.5% and is now facing a poor 3-point shooting defense allowing >=36.5% after 15+ games have been played. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. JAX State is a solid 28-10 ATS (+17.0 Units) in road games after failing to cover 2 of their last 3 against the spread since 1997. Memphis has struggled to a 2-2 record over their last four games and have lost all four ATS. They shot just 35% and allowed 55% shooting in a 82-64 loss to Gonzaga and failed by the hook to cover a 17 1/2 point dog line. JAX is led by guard Darion Rackley, who has team highs in minutes (32) and points scored (15.4). The other guard is JaQual Townswer, who  is team leader in assists (3.5) and also scores 8 PPG and adds 1.33 steals. I see this guard combination being able to compete against Memphis. Not calling the dramatic upset, but I do believe they keep this game to mostly single digit deficits. Take Jacksonville State.

02-03-15 Indiana v. Wisconsin -15.5 Top 78-92 Loss -105 7 h 16 m Show

25* graded play on Wisconsin as they take on Indiana in Big Ten Conference action set to start at 7:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Wisconsin will win this game by 21 or more points. Indiana has not won a basketball game in Madison in 17 years. Wisconsin is head and shoulders above all other teams in the conference and they are poised for another deep run in the NCAA Tournament this season. They are a well prepared team and extremely focused on the present - taking it literally one possession at a time. They are certainly deserving of being a heavy favorite in this matchup. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Wisconsin is a solid 14-5 ATS (+8.5 Units) when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last 2 seasons; 11-2 ATS (+8.8 Units) when they make 31% to 37% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 2 seasons; 15-5 ATS (+9.5 Units) when they grab 4 to 9 more rebounds than their opponents in a game over the last 3 seasons; 8-0 ATS (+8.0 Units) when they score 81 to 86 points in a game over the last 2 seasons; 12-2 ATS (+9.8 Units) when they score 81 or more points in a game over the last 2 seasons. Indiana does not have a strong defensive presence and plays games with the attitude to outscore the opponent. They rank ninth in the nation in scoring offense (80.3 PPG), but rank a dismal 294th in scoring defense (72.0 PPG). By comparison, Wisconsin ranks 42nd in scoring offense (74) and seventh in scoring defense at (55.5 PPG). I strongly believe that Wisconsin will execute at will on the offensive end adn that their defensive presence will make it significantly more difficult for Indiana to score points. Take Wisconsin.

02-02-15 Virginia v. North Carolina +1.5 Top 75-64 Loss -110 3 h 39 m Show

25* graded play on North Carolina as they take on Virginia in ACC Conference action set to start at 7:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that UNC will win this game. UVA is coming off their first loss of the season. They enjoyed an eight point lead with a little more than 4 minutes to go. Duke came storming back and hit three's from all over and won the game finishing on a 19-5 run. That sting will still be present in this matchup against No. 12 UNC. Virginia wins with their defense. UNC wins with scoring the most second-chance points per game in the nation. UVA allows just 6.6 2nd-chance points per game and UNC scores 15 2nd-chance points per game. This contrasting style is also shown in the tempos that both teams play. UNC ranks best in the ACC and 8th in the nation averaging 71 possessions per game. UVA is the second-slowest team in the nation averaging just 59 possessions per game. American ranks slowest at 57.7 possessions. I see UNC being able to get offensive boards and have a significant edge in multi-shot possessions. Further, their fast tempo will gradually wear UVA down over the course of the game. Take UNC. 

02-01-15 North Dakota State v. Western Illinois +6 Top 64-62 Win 100 4 h 54 m Show

25* graded play on the Western Illinois as they take on North Dakota State in Summit Conference action set to start at 3:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Western Illinois will lose this gam,e by fewer than 5 points and has a great shot at getting the home upset win. Given this favorable projection, I like making this a combination wager consisting of a 22* play using the line and a 3* play using the money line. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. NDST is just  2-9 ATS (-7.9 Units) when they make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game over the last 2 seasons;  1-9 ATS (-8.9 Units) when they score 61 to 66 points in a game over the last 2 seasons; WIU is a solid money making 11-3 ATS (+7.7 Units) when they grab 34 to 39 rebounds in a game over the last 3 seasons. WIU forward Mike Miklusak is out for this game with a leg injury. His minutes will be filled by several solid bench players. Take Western Illinois. 

02-01-15 Marist +11 v. Canisius Top 75-67 Win 100 3 h 54 m Show

25* graded play on Marist as they take on Canisius in MAAC Conference action set to start at 2:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Marist will lose this game by fewer than 10 points. Marist is arguably one of the weakest college basketball teams in the nation. Yet, this matchup, I expect, to be to their liking. Canius ranks higher in the majority of meaningful performance stats, but not enough to be be a 11 1/2 point favorite to any team. Canisius ranks 53rd in the nation in scoring defense. By itself, this is quite impressive, but it is highly misleading. The reason is that they play a very slow style of game on the offensive end. They rank 173rd in assists allowed and 289th in rebounds allowed. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 66-31 mark good for 68% winners since 1997.  Play against home favorites of 10 or more points (CANISIUS) after having covered 4 or 5 of their last 6 against the spread and is a team winning between 60% to 80% of their games and is now playing a terrible team winning less than

25* graded play on Florida State as they host Miami (Fla) in an ACC Conference matchup set to start at 12:30 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that FSU will win this game. The line is currently showing FSU installed as a 2 point dogs. Unless, the line moves to +3 would a combination wager be validated based on the ROI. Should that occur, then a play comprised of a 21* amount on the line and a 4* amount on the money line would work well. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 33-10 mark good for 77% winners using the money line and making 23 units/unit wagered since 2009. Play against all teams with a money line of +135 to -155 (MIAMI) off an upset loss as a home favorite and is a solid team winning between 60% to 80% of their games and is now playing a marginal winning team winning between 51% to 60% of their games.  The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. FSU head coach Hamilton is 24-14 ATS (+8.6 Units) as a home underdog or pick.; 44-27 ATS (+14.3 Units) versus teams who average 6 or less steals/game on the season. Further, Miami is a money burning 4-6 against the money line (-21.0 Units) when competing against good ball handling teams committing

25* graded play on Pepperdine as they take on St. Mary's in West Coast Conference action set to start at 6:00 PM ET.   The simulator shows a high probability that St. Mary's will lose this game by fewer than eight points. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Pepperdine is a solid 18-8 ATS (+9.2 Units) when they grab eight or less offensive rebounds in a game over the last two seasons; 15-6 ATS (+8.4 Units) when they force 10 to 13 turnovers in a game over the last 2 seasons; 15-5 ATS (+9.5 Units) when they commit 10 to 13 turnovers in a game over the last 2 seasons. Pepperdine is also an outstanding  8-0 ATS (+8.0 Units) when competing against solid defensive teams allowing

25* graded play on theLouisville when they host North Carolina in ACC Conference action set to start at 4:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Louisville will win this game by 7 or more points. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 71-33 ATS mark for 68% winners since 1997. Play against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (LOUISVILLE) and is a cold team failing to cover six or seven of their last eight against the spread, in a game involving two top-level teams winning >= 80%.  The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. UNC is an imperfect  0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) in road games when competing against elite teams outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game after 15+ games over the last two seasons. UNC is also an imperfect  0-7 ATS (-7.7 Units) after a combined score of 165 points or more over the last two seasons; 1-8 ATS (-7.8 Units) after a game where they made 50% of their 3 point shots or better over the last 3 seasons.

25* graded play on the Rutgers as they take on Indiana in Big Ten Conference action set to start at 3:15 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Rutgers will lose this game by fewer than 10 points. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 43-15 ATS for 74% winners since 1997. Play on road underdogs of 10 or more points (RUTGERS) after scoring 55 points or less in a loss to a conference rival and is now playing with one day rest. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Rutgers is a solid s 8-1 ATS (+6.9 Units) in road games after 2 straight games with 12 or less assists over the last 3 seasons. Indiana is a money burning 5-17 ATS (-13.7 Units) after 2 straight games allowing a shooting percentage of 50% or higher since 1997. In fact, the Indiana defense has been just terrible over their last three games. In their last three games, they allowed a 59% shooting percentage to Purdue and lost 83-67 installed as 4 1/2 point dogs. Then they allowed 63% shooting in an 82-70 loss at Ohio State. And third last game, they allowed 51% shooting in a 89-70 home win against Maryland. I fully expect Rutgers to have an above average offensive night and will keep this game to 10 or fewer points throughout. Take Rutgers.

01-31-15 Arkansas v. Florida -7 Top 56-57 Loss -106 3 h 8 m Show

25* graded play on the Florida as they host Arkansas in SEC Conference action set to start at 1:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Florida will win this game by nine or more points. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Arkansas is a money burning 38-61 ATS (-29.1 Units) in road games when they attempt 54 to 62 shots in a game since 1997; 38-62 ATS (-30.2 Units) in road games when they make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game since 1997;  20-46 ATS (-30.6 Units) in road games when their opponents make 38% to 45% of their 3 pointers in a game since 1997. Florida is a solid 19-7 ATS (+11.3 Units) when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last 3 seasons; 80-46 ATS (+29.4 Units) when they make 38% to 45% of their three point attempts in a game since 1997. Further, Arkansas is just  4-14 ATS (-11.4 Units) off a home win against a conference rival over the last 3 seasons. Florida is a near-perfect 8-1 ATS (+6.9 Units) after failing to cover 3 of their last 4 against the spread over the last 2 seasons. Starting Florida guard, Michael Frazier II, is probable for this game. He is the team-leader in minutes (31) and scoring (13.4), but is a big part of the solid defense that Florida brings to this game. Arkansas ranks fifth in scoring offense, BUT I firmly believe that the Florida defense that ranks 24 in scoring, 22nd in assists allowed, and 11th in the all-important assist-to-turnover ratio will dominate. Take Florida.

25* graded play on Western Michigan as they take on Eastern Michigan in MAC Conference action set to start at 12:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Western Michigan will lose this game by fewer than 6 points and has a great shot at winning the game. Given this favorable projection, I like making this a combination wager using a 22* play on the line and a 5* play using the money line for a total risk of 27* units. This combination combined with the probabilities maximizes the risk/reward profile and total rate of return of the investment (ROI).  Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 23-6 ATS for 79% winners over the past five seasons. Play against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (E MICHIGAN) in a game involving two good FT shooting teams (69-73%) after 15 or more games and after two straight games allowing a shooting percentage of 37% or less. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Further, EMU head coach Murphy is 3-12 ATS (-10.2 Units) after two straight games allowing a shooting percentage of 37% or less. 

01-31-15 Notre Dame -4 v. Pittsburgh Top 72-76 Loss -109 2 h 7 m Show

25* graded play on Notre Dame as they take on Pittsburgh in ACC Conference action set to start at 12:00 Noon ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Notre Dame will win this game by 9 or more points. Simply said, Pitt does not have the defense nor the depth to play with ND high-powered offense. ND is off one of the biggest wins for the programs of the past several years. That win over Duke is one that builds tremendous confidence and chemistry for any team and reveals to them that they as a unit really belong in the elite rankings. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Pittsburgh is a money burner 4-13 ATS (-10.3 Units) when their opponents make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last three seasons;  0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) when their opponents make 38% to 45% of their 3 pointers in a game this season;  1-7 ATS (-6.7 Units) when they grab 9 to 13 offensive rebounds in a game this season;  4-14 ATS (-11.4 Units) when they score 67 to 74 points in a game over the last 3 seasons.

25* graded play on Western Illinois as they take on IUPUI in Summit Conference action set to start at 8:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Western Illinois will win this game. They are currently lined as two point dogs. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 46-21 ATS mark good for 69% winners since 2009. Play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 (IUPUI) after beating the spread by 18 or more points total in their last three games and is now facing an opponent after going under the total by 18 or more points total in their last three games.  The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. IUPUI is just  3-11 ATS (-9.1 Units) when they make 23% to 30% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 3 seasons; 9-19 ATS (-11.9 Units) when they score 60 or less points in a game over the last 3 seasons; 6-15 ATS (-10.5 Units) when they commit 14 to 18 turnovers in a game over the last 3 seasons; Western Illinois is  11-3 ATS (+7.7 Units) when they grab 34 to 39 rebounds in a game over the last 3 seasons.

01-30-15 Dartmouth -1.5 v. Pennsylvania Top 51-58 Loss -110 1 h 22 m Show

25* graded play on Dartmouth as they take on Penn in IVY League action set to start at 7:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Dartmouth will win this game by five or more points. Penn is a horrid ball handling team ranking 312th in the nation with a 0.72 assist-to-turnover ratio. By comparison, Dartmouth ranks 13th with a 1.015 assist-to-turnover ratio. A ratio below 1 reveals that a team is committing more turnovers then generating assists. A number above 1.000 is the beginning target for strong ball handling teams. In case you were wondering, Notre Dame ranks best in this important category with an outstanding 1.706 ratio. So, I believe Penn will be turnover prone again in this matchup allowing Dartmouth to generate fast break scoring opportunities in transition. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Penn is just 2-13 ATS (-12.3 Units) as a home underdog of three points or less or pick since 1997.;  1-9 ATS (-8.9 Units) after playing a game where both teams score 65 points or less over the last 3 seasons. Take Dartmouth.

25* graded play on the UC-Davis as they host UC- Santa Barbara in Big West Conference action set to start at 10:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that UC-Davis will win this game by three or more points. The biggest factor in this game is the tremendous perimeter shooting by UC-Davis. They rank best in the nation in three-point shot percentage at 44% and fourth in overall shooting at 50%. UCSB us not a good perimeter defending team ranking 20th in opponent three-point shooting. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. UCSB is a weak  1-8 ATS (-7.8 Units) when their opponents make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last 3 seasons; 32-66 ATS (-40.6 Units) when their opponents make 38% to 45% of their 3 pointers in a game since 1997. Cal Davis is a solid 21-7 ATS (+13.3 Units) when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last 3 seasons;  41-21 ATS (+17.9 Units) when their opponents make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game since 1997. Cal Davis is a solid 9-2 ATS (+6.8 Units) facing poor pressure defensive teams forcing

25* graded play on Marshall as they take on Southern Mississippi in C-USA action set to start at 8:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Marshall will win this game. Given this favorable projection I like making this a combination wager consisting of a 21* play using the line and a 4* play using the money line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 60-93 mark using the Money Line good for just 39% winners, BUT has made a whopping 68 units/unit wagered averaging a +268 DOG play since 1997. Win percentage means very little and units won means everything when dealing with Money Line systems , trends, and game situations.  The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. SM is an imperfect 0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) when the total is 130 to 139.5 this season. Take Marshall. 

01-29-15 Jacksonville State v. Belmont -12 Top 82-103 Win 100 4 h 14 m Show

25* graded play on Belmont as they host Jacksonville State in Ohio Valley Conference action set to start at 8:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Belmont will win this game by 15 or more points. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. JAX State is just 24-41 ATS (-21.1 Units) when they make 34% to 39% of their shots in a game since 1997; 31-54 ATS (-28.4 Units) when their opponents make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game since 1997.

01-28-15 Kansas v. TCU +5 Top 64-61 Win 100 11 h 32 m Show

25* graded play on TCU as they take on Kansas in Big-12 Conference action set to start at 9:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that TCU will lose this game by fewer than 4 points and has a great shot at winning the game. I like making this a combination wager comprised of a 21* play using the line and a 4* play using the money line. Looking at the matchups, the TCU defense is vastly stronger than Kansas and will be the dominant reason TCU gets this big home upset win. TCU defense ranks 15th in scoring, fourth allowing 8,8 assists per game, and 12th posting a 0.673 opponent assist-to-turnover ratio. By comparison, Kansas ranks 128th in scoring defense, 119th in assists allowed, and 214th posting a 1.014 opponent assist-to-turnover ratio. This game will see two of the best guards in the conference compete. I give the edge to TCU's Kyan Anderson over Kansas' Frank Mason. Anderson plays superior defense and will have offensive advantages as well. I expect Mason to be under his scoring average of 12.7 PPG and for Anderson to be well above his scoring average of 13.7 PPG. It will be the TCU defense that gets the job done. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 129-69 ATS mark good for 65% winners since 2008. Play against any team (KANSAS) that is a hot team having covered 6 or 7 of their last 8 against the spread and is a top-level team winning >= 80% of their games and now playing a good team winning between 60% to 80% of their games.  The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Kansas is just 57-107 ATS (-60.7 Units) when they make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game since 1997; 43-72 ATS (-36.2 Units) when they score 67 to 74 points in a game since 1997. Take TCU.

01-27-15 Colorado State v. Boise State -1.5 Top 78-82 Win 100 9 h 10 m Show

25* graded play on Boise State as they take on Colorado State in Mountain West Conference action set to start at 11:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that BS will win this game by four or more points. Boise plays fast and quick led by an offense that at times during games has four guards on the court.  The guard duo of Anthony Drmic and Derrick Marks combine for 34 PPG, which is about 47% of the team's offensive production. I believe this duo will post game numbers significantly above their season averages. CS simply does not have the guards to defend either of them. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. CS is an imperfect  0-7 ATS (-7.7 Units) in road games when their opponents make 38% to 45% of their 3 pointers in a game over the last 3 seasons;  6-16 ATS (-11.6 Units) when they grab 34 to 39 rebounds in a game over the last 2 seasons. Boise ranks 12th best in the nation averaging only 10.1 turnovers-per-game. CS is just  4-16 ATS (-13.6 Units) playing against excellent ball handling teams committing

25* graded play on San Diego State as they host Fresno State in Mountain West Conference action set to start at 9:05 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that SDST will win this game by 16 or more points. This is real mismatch, especially with the SDST defensive presence that will completely shut down a very weak Fresno State offense. SDST ranks third in the nation in scoring defense and 13th in opponent assist-to-turnover ratio. Fresno ranks 280th in scoring offense and 266th posting a 0.816 assist-to-turnover ratio.

25* graded play on Detroit as they host Wright State in Horizon Conference action set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Detroit will win this game by more than 6 points. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 38-126 ATS mark for 70.4% winners since 2008. Play against any team (WRIGHT ST) after going under the total by more than six points in four consecutive games and with a winning percentage of between 45 and 55% on the season. The following game situations match the SIM projections and my compiled research for the outcome of this game. Wright State is just 2-9 ATS (-7.9 Units) in road games when they grab four to nine fewer rebounds than their opponents in a game over the last two seasons; 42-25 ATS (+14.5 Units) when they make 72% to 78% of their free throws in a game since 1997. Detroit is coming off a 70-66 loss at Cleveland State, but covered as seven point dogs. They shot just 37% form the floor. They last shot under 40% in a 79-55 loss at Wisconsin - Green Bay. In the next game, they shot 56% from the floor and won SU and ATS 70-61 at Youngstown State. I expect a very similar above team average performance in this matchup. Take Detroit.

Further, they are a solid money making 12-2 UNDER (+9.8 Units) when facing good shooting teams making >=45% of their shots over the last two seasons; 9-1 UNDER (+7.9 Units) facing good shooting teams making >=45% of their shots after 15+ games over the last two seasons. CS runs a mostly three-guard set. Their fourth guard is Andre Yates, who is the team leader in steals (1.80). He is OUT for tonight's game as is Forward Marlin Mason (25 minutes, 8.1 PPG, and 4.6 RPG). That's 52 minutes of playing time that will need to be met by the bench. I don't see any combination of bench players being able to match their contribution. I see this game as a much lower style game and with shooting percentages by both teams under their team averages. Take the 'UNDER'. 

01-25-15 Belmont -12.5 v. Tennessee State Top 63-55 Loss -105 5 h 20 m Show

Belmont is led by a very strong guard combination in Chamberlain and Bradshaw. Chamberlain has team highs in minutes (33), rebounds (7), assists (6), and steals (2). Bradshaw is the scorer averaging 20 PPG and is very quick with a great pull up jumper. TN State just does not have the athleticism to compete against Belmont and I fully expect Belmont to cover quite easily.

Guard Malcom Hill has had a consistent season playing 28.4 minutes, scoring 13.6 PPG, 5.53 boards,, and 1.05 assists. Ahmad Starks is the team leader in assists and his playing time will be increasing while Hill is out.

UNC is a solid 22-6 ATS (+15.4 Units) when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last 3 seasons; 15-5 ATS (+9.5 Units) when they attempt 19 to 24 free throws in a game over the last 3 seasons; 25-12 ATS (+11.8 Units) when they force 14 to 18 turnovers in a game over the last 3 seasons. Wake Forest is a money burning  8-19 ATS (-12.9 Units) when their opponents make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last 3 seasons; 24-55 ATS (-36.5 Units) when they make 23% to 30% of their three point attempts in a game since 1997. Further, UNC is a solid 28-11 ATS (+15.9 Units) in road games versus good foul drawing teams - attempting >=25 free throws/game after 15+ games since 1997. Take North Carolina.

25* graded play on Tulsa as they take on Memphis in American Conference action set to start at 7:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Tulsa will win this game by 7 or more points. The following game situations match my research projections for the outcome of this game. Tulsa is a solid 12-4 ATS (+7.6 Units) when they make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game over the last 2 seasons; 10-2 ATS (+7.8 Units) when they attempt 4 to 9 more free throws than opponents in a game over the last 2 seasons; 6-0 ATS (+6.0 Units) when they allow 61 to 66 points in a game over the last 2 seasons; 12-2 ATS (+9.8 Units) when they commit 3 to 7 fewer turnovers than their opponents over the last 2 seasons.

01-21-15 Quinnipiac v. St. Peters -3 Top 63-55 Loss -105 7 h 3 m Show

25* graded play on St. Peters as they take on Quinnipiac in MAAC Conference action set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that St. Peters will win this game by more than five points. The following game situations match my research projections for the outcome of this game. St. Peters is a solid 34-13 ATS (+19.7 Units) when their opponents make 23% to 30% of their 3 pointers in a game since 1997; 54-21 ATS (+30.9 Units) when their opponents make 34% to 39% of their shots in a game since 1997. Quinnipiac is a money burning  3-14 ATS (-12.4 Units) after having won 3 of their last 4 games since 1997. St. Peters does not have a strong offensive presence, but their defense is going to present big problems for the Quinnipiac offense. STP averages nearly 7 steals per game and four players are averaging at least one steal per game. The STP defensive intensity will be a big reason why they win this game easily. Take St. Peters. 

01-20-15 San Diego State -9 v. Air Force Top 77-45 Win 100 9 h 5 m Show

25* graded play on San Diego State as they take on Air Force in Mountain West Conference action set to start at 9:30 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that SDST will win this game by 12 or more points. This is a mismatch across the board, especially with SDST scoring defense ranking third-best in the nation. They also rank 15th in assist allowed per game and ninth posting a 0.64 opponent assists-to-turnover ratio. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 104-52 ATS mark for 67% winners since 2009. Play against home underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points (AIR FORCE) revenging a same season loss vs opponent and is off 3 straight losses against conference rivals. I see minimal chance that Air force will score 60 or more points. In past games Air Force is just 0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) in home games when they score 60 or less points in a game over the last two seasons. SDST is a perfect 7-0 ATS (+7.0 Units) in road games after two straight games being called for 5+ less fouls than opponent over the last 2 seasons. Take San Diego State.

01-20-15 Iowa +9.5 v. Wisconsin Top 50-82 Loss -102 9 h 35 m Show

25* graded play on the Iowa as they take on Wisconsin in Big Ten Conference action set to start at 9:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Iowa will lose this game by fewer than 7 points and has a shot at winning the game. Given this favorable projection, I like making this a 24* play using the line and a 3* using he money line for a total risk of 27* units. This maximizes the return on investment and captures the the opportunity for the straight up win. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 75-37 ATS mark for 67% winners since 2009. Play against home teams as a favorite or pick (WISCONSIN) that are average 3-point shooting teams hitting between 32 and 36.5% and is now facing an average 3-point shooting defense allowing between 32 and 36.5%; is a dominant rebounding team posting a differential of >=+6 reb/game and facing  a good rebounding team posting a differential between +3 to +6 reb/game.

Iowa is a solid  21-5 ATS (+15.5 Units) after allowing 30 points or less in the first half in two straight games over the last three seasons. Further, Wisconsin is just  2-11 ATS (-10.1 Units) in home games after playing 5 consecutive games as favorite over the last 2 seasons. Take Iowa.

01-20-15 Michigan +4 v. Rutgers Top 54-50 Win 100 6 h 5 m Show

25* graded play on Michigan as they take on Rutgers in NCAAM Big Ten Conference action set to start at 6:30 PM ET.   The simulator shows a high probability that Michigan will win this game. Given the favorable projections, I like making this a combination wager using a 21* play on the line and a 4* using the money line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 87-48 mark for 65% winners since 1997. Play on an underdogs in January (MICHIGAN) after being beaten by the spread by 54 or more points total in their last ten games. The following game situations match the projections I have researched and simulated for this game. Michigan is a solid 11-3 ATS (+7.7 Units) when they allow 60 or less points in a game over the last two seasons. Rutgers is a money burning 2-10 ATS (-9.0 Units) in home games when they make 31% to 37% of their three point attempts in a game over the last three seasons; 3-12 ATS (-10.2 Units) when they score 60 or less points in a game over the last 2 seasons. Take Michigan.

01-19-15 Texas State +5 v. Texas-Arlington Top 55-66 Loss -105 8 h 17 m Show

25* graded play on Texas State as they take on TX-Arlington in Sun Belt Conference action set to start at 8:15 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Texas State (TS) will win this game. Given that they are lined as five point dogs, I like adding a 3* play using the money line to the 25* play using the line to fully capture the return on investment (ROI) presented by this opportunity.  Supporting this graded play is a game situation matching the projections for this game. Texas-Arlington (TA) is just 1-7 against the money line (-8.3 Units) in home games when they commit 14 to 18 turnovers in a game over the last 3 seasons. Further, they have been a money burning 4-17 against the money line (-15.1 Units) when playing against a team with a winning record after 15 or more games since 1997. Simply, Texas State has a vastly better defensive presence and it will be that defense that will send them to a big road win. TS is also led by a solid guard in D.J. Brown, who has team highs in minutes (33) and assists (3). He is a strong fundamentally sound all around player. When paired with fellow guard Wesley Davis, their defensive pressure is magnified and they do produce steals and force difficult shots. Based on the research, I simply see TS being the better team and the one that ought to be favored. Take Texas State.

01-18-15 Loyola-Chicago v. Southern Illinois +1.5 Top 52-59 Win 100 6 h 51 m Show

25* graded play on Southern Illinois as they take on Loyola - Illinois in Missouri Valley Conference action set to start at 6:05 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that SIU will win this game by three or more points. The Saluki's guard Anthony Beane, Jr. will have a huge day. He is the team leader in minutes (34), points (16.1), and steals (1.4) and has an excellent matchup where I expect him to score more than 20 points. Forward, Jordan Caroline is physical and aggressive player where he is in position to post a double-double. I also see Saluki's as the vastly better rebounding team and this will keep Loyola to a minimum of multi-shot possessions. Salukis have been a solid money making 13-2 ATS (+10.8 Units) when they grab 34 to 39 rebounds in a game over the last 2 seasons. Further, they are 16-6 ATS (+9.4 Units) when playing against a team with a winning record after 15 or more games over the last 3 seasons. Take Southern Illinois.

25* graded play on Air Force as they take on Utah State in Mountain West Conference action set to start at 6:00 PM ET.   The simulator shows a high probability that Air Force will lose this game by fewer than 6 points and has a great shot at an upset win. I like adding a 2.5* amount playing the money line to the 25* play on the line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 60-26 ATS mark for 70% winners since 2008. Play on a road team (AIR FORCE) in a game involving two slow-down teams attempting

01-17-15 Kentucky -9 v. Alabama Top 70-48 Win 100 5 h 56 m Show

25* graded play on Kentucky as they take on Alabama in SEC Conference action set to start at 4:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Kentucky will win this game by 10 or more points. The following game situations match my expectations for the outcome of this game. Kentucky is a solid 74-29 ATS (+42.1 Units) when their opponents make 23% to 30% of their 3 pointers in a game since 1997; 43-22 ATS (+18.8 Units) in road games when they allow 61 to 66 points in a game since 1997; Alabama is just  3-11 ATS (-9.1 Units) when they make 23% to 30% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 3 seasons;  5-14 ATS (-10.4 Units) when they grab 4 to 9 fewer rebounds than their opponents in a game over the last 3 seasons. Kentucky is undefeated and ranked No.1 in the nation. They have incredible depth and rank best in the nation in scoring defense (50 PPG), best in assists allowed (7), and best posting a 0.445 assist-turnover ratio. Alabama is a solid team, but even playing at home is not going to be near enough to overcome all of Kentucky's strengths. Kentucky has nine players getting at least 20 minutes on the court. Alabama has just five with Levi Randolph playing a team-high 34 minutes. He is an elite player, but I don't see him holding up against the Kentucky depth. Take Kentucky. 

01-17-15 Central Florida v. Memphis -13.5 Top 79-99 Win 100 3 h 56 m Show

25* graded play on Memphis as they take on Central Florida in American Conference action set to start at 2:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Memphis will win this game by 15 or more points. UCF is a solid 3-point shooting team ranking 54th and hitting 37.3% of those shots from beyond the arc. However, we note that Memphis is an even better  42-15 ATS (+25.5 Units) facing good 3 point shooting teams making >=37% of their attempts after 15+ games since 1997. Memphis is off an impressive 63-50 win over Cincinnati and covered in a pick-em line. They are also 30-16 ATS (+12.4 Units) after allowing 50 points or less since 1997. Memphis is led by Forward Austin Nichols, who has team highs in minutes (29), scoring (13.3 PPG), rebounds (6.1), and blocks (3.50. He will have matchups in his favor where I believe he will exceed these season averages by a significant amount. Take Memphis.  

01-17-15 Virginia v. Boston College +12.5 Top 66-51 Loss -105 3 h 55 m Show

25* graded play on Boston College as they take on Virginia in ACC Conference action set to start at 2:00 PM ET.   The simulator shows a high probability that BC will lose this game by 10 or fewer points. BC is playing progressively better with each passing week. They have covered three games straight and in their last game they upset a good Harvard team 64-57 installed as three point home dogs.  BC is led by Olivier Hanian, who has team highs in minutes (37), points (16.4), assists (4.5), and steals (1.9). Aaron Brown compliments him very well playing the forward position and is averaging 14.4 PPG. Dennis Clifford is the center and leads the team in boards with six per game. He is 7-1 and 250 pounds and will be a rim protector in this game making it far more difficult for UVA to get points in the paint. UVA is undefeated, but their perimeter shooting, especially from beyond the arc is a true weakness. UVA ranks 219th making just 5.8 3's and 320th attempting just 14 3's per game. Take Boston College. 

01-17-15 Miami (FL) +6.5 v. Notre Dame Top 70-75 Win 100 3 h 54 m Show

25* graded play on Miami (FLA) as they take on Notre Dame in  set to start at 2:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Miami (FLA) will lose this game by fewer than 6 points and has a great shot at winning the game. I like adding a 2.5* play using the money line to the 25* play using the line. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 60-92 mark for just 40% winners using the Money Line, but has made a whopping 69 units/unit wagered averaging a +300 DOG play since 1997.  Play on road underdogs using the money line (MIAMI) off a win over a conference rival as an underdog of six points or more and is facing an opponent off a road win against a conference rival. So, again, this demonstrates that when it comes to money line plays, the win % is near meaningless and units won/unit wagered means everything. I expect Miami to score between 67 and 74 points. They are a perfect  9-0 ATS (+9.0 Units) when they score 67 to 74 points in a game over the last 2 seasons. Notre Dame is just  1-10 ATS (-10.0 Units) in home games when playing against a good team winning between 60% to 80% of their games in each of the last 2 seasons. Take Miami (FLA). 

01-16-15 Western Illinois +12.5 v. North Dakota State Top 48-61 Loss -110 8 h 59 m Show

35* graded play on the Western Illinois as they take on North Dakota State in Summit Conference action set to start at 8:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that WIU will lose this game by fewer than 10 points. The pace of play is going to help WIU significantly and will be a dominant reason they cover ATS. WIU will launch and make more 3's in this game and the projection sees WIU shooting near 40% for the game. Both teams play a methodical slow paced style of game. I also expect WIU to get to the charity stripe at least 4 more times than NDST and this will be another reason the game stays in single digits. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 43-17 ATS mark for 72% winners since 1997.  Play on underdogs of 10 or more points (W ILLINOIS) - in a game involving two poor offensive teams (63-67 PPG) after 15+ games, after scoring 60 points or less. I also see WIU getting between 34 and 39 rebounds. In past games, they are a strong 11-3 ATS (+7.7 Units) when they grab 34 to 39 rebounds in a game over the last 3 seasons. Further, NDST is just 2-13 ATS (-12.3 Units) when playing against a marginal losing team winning between 40% to 49% of their games and after 15 or more games since 1997. I also see WIU guard Garret Covington having a big game. he is the team-leader in minutes (32) and points (16)NDST is led by their own elite guard Lawrence Alexander, who plays nearly minute of games (39) and averages 17.8 PPG. The starting guards though for WIU average nearly three more assist per game than NDST. The ball movement will be a major factor for WIU that will generate strong shooting opportunities and wide-open 3's. Take Western Illinois.

35* graded play on the Wisconsin Badgers as they take on the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Big Ten Conference action set to start at 9:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Wisconsin will win this game by 17 or more points. The following game situations match my projections for the outcome of this game. Nebraska is an imperfect  0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) in road games when their opponents make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last 3 seasons;  0-8 ATS (-8.8 Units) in road games when they commit 3 to 7 more turnovers than their opponents over the last 3 seasons; Wisconsin is a solid 13-4 ATS (+8.6 Units) when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last 2 seasons;  10-1 ATS (+8.9 Units) when they make 31% to 37% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 2 seasons; 11-3 ATS (+7.7 Units) when they allow 60 or less points in a game this season; 52-16 ATS (+34.4 Units) when they score 75 to 80 points in a game since 1997. Nebraska is a weak team and they face a very tough Wisconsin defense that ranks 7th in the nation in scoring defense, fourth in assist-per game allowed, and second posting a 0.399 assist/FG made ratio. Nebraska ranks 294th getting just 10.4 assists per game and this lack of solid ball movement and distribution plays right into the teeth of the Wisconsin defense. Wisconsin is well managed offense that ranks third best posting a 1.567 assist-to-turnover ratio and best committing just 8.3 turnovers per game. Nebraska defense ranks 207th forcing opponents into just 6.4 turnovers per game. Take Wisconsin.

01-14-15 San Diego State +1.5 v. Wyoming Top 60-52 Win 100 11 h 45 m Show

25* graded play on San Diego State as they take on Wyoming in Mountain West Conference action set to start at 11:00 PM ET. Wyoming enters this fray ranked 25th in the nation, but find themselves favored by a point.  SDST is a solid team worthy to be in the top-25, if they win this game. The simulator shows a high probability that SDST will win this game. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 38-12 ATS mark for 76% winners since 2008.  Play on road teams where the line is +3 to -3 (SAN DIEGO ST) after allowing 60 points or less two straight games and is now facing an opponent after scoring 65 points or less three straight games. SDST is a perfect  6-0 ATS (+6.0 Units) in road games after game where they allowed a shooting percentage of 33% or less over the last two seasons. In that last game SDST held New Mexico to 30% shooting (14-for-47) in a 56-42 win and easily covering the -8 1/2 point favorite line. I fully expect a similar performance tonight. Take San Diego State. 

01-14-15 Georgia +2 v. Vanderbilt Top 70-67 Win 100 9 h 44 m Show

25* graded play on Georgia as they take on Vanderbilt in SEC Conference action set to start at 9:00 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Georgia will win this game. I like playing this game straight using the line and not to consider a combination wager consisting of line and money line wagers. The return on wager (investment ROI) is just not validated with a line less than 3 points. Vanderbilt plays a slower style game ranking 332nd in the nation attempting 49 shots per game. They do execute their offense at a very high level ranking 6th in shooting percentage at 50%. Yet, Georgia has done very well in these matchups noting they are 17-4 ATS (+12.6 Units) facing slow-down teams averaging 53 or less shots/game after 15+ games in seasons completed since 1997 and a perfect 6-0 ATS over the last three seasons. Georgia is a very strong rebounding team ranking 5th averaging 27 defensive boards per game. Georgia is a solid 20-7 ATS (+12.3 Units) after two straight games giving up nine or less offensive rebounds over the last three seasons. Georgia will do a great job rebounding the ball off missed shots and will minimize Vanderbilt's multi-shot possessions. I expect Forward Marcus Thornton to exceed his scoring average (13.6 PPG) on the offensive end and to dominate the boards on the defensive end. Take Georgia.

25* graded play on Rutgers as they take on Maryland in Big Ten Conference action set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Rutgers will lose this game by fewer than 12 points. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 31-10 ATS mark for 76% winners since 1997. Play on an underdog (RUTGERS) off a win over a conference rival as an underdog of 12 points or more and playing on Wednesday. The day of the week is important as it is the second largest slate of games in NCAA basketball next to Saturday. The majority of schools play their games on Wednesday and Saturday. In addition, Maryland is just 0-7 ATS (-7.7 Units) as a home favorite of 12.5 or more points over the last 2 seasons; 0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) as a home favorite of 12.5 to 18 points over the last 2 seasons. Rutgers is a near-perfect  8-1 ATS (+6.9 Units) after 2 straight games forcing opponent to commit 11 or less turnovers over the last 3 seasons. I am not going to tell you that Rutgers is a better team certainly. I do believe though Rutgers can make it a competitive game and I look for their floor leader guard Myles Mack to have a big night. I like him against Maryland's guards in Melo Trimble and Dezmine Wells. Maryland plays three guards and two forwards for the majority of their games. They will also go quite small and quick with four guard units. I still see Rutgers being able to withstand these smaller units and use their size to offset that advantage. Take Rutgers.

01-14-15 Hofstra v. Northeastern -2.5 Top 83-91 Win 100 7 h 42 m Show

25* graded play on Northeastern as they take on Hofstra in Colonial Athletic Association action set to start at 7:00 PM ET.   The simulator shows a high probability that NE will win this game by 6 or more points. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 163-101 ATS since 2008. Play on a favorite (NORTHEASTERN) after scoring 60 points or less and with all five starters returning from last season. Hofstra runs a high powered type of offense, but is weak on the defensive end. NE is a much more balanced team and with 5 starters returning have a vastly better court chemistry. NE is led by forward Scott Eatherton who has team highs in points (15.4) and rebounds (7.4). I really like the matchups he will enjoy tonight and expect him exceed his season averages in these two categories. YOu will also see a size advantage for NE over Hofstra, which will serve to minimize  Hofstra's multi-shot possessions. Take Northeastern. 

01-13-15 Iowa v. Minnesota -3.5 Top 77-75 Loss -110 10 h 18 m Show

25* graded play on Minnesota as they take on Iowa in a Big Ten Conference matchup set to start at 9:00 PM ET. I strongly believe that the Minnesota offense will have a big night and execute at a high level. The reason is quite simple. Minnesota is an excellent ball movement team ranking 7th in the nation averaging 17.4 assists per game. Iowa's defense has struggled agains crisp ball movement and distribution ranking 159th allowing 12.1 assist per game. Iowa ranks 75th posting a 0.826 assist-to-turnover ratio. Minnesota has an excellent point guard in Deandre Mathieu, who has team highs in minutes (30), assists (5.5), and steals (2.47). Situationally, Iowa finds itself in a difficult spot noting they are just 9-22 ATS (-15.2 Units) in road games after 2 straight games with 12 or less assists since 1997; 20-39 ATS (-22.9 Units) off an upset loss as a favorite since 1997. Iowa last lost at Michigan 62-57 and were installed as 3-point favorites. These types of losses can be difficult for any team to overcome and I believe that Minnesota will have any easy time of this matchup and get their first conference win. Take Minnesota.

With the skinny line there is just no opportunity that validates a combination wager comprised on line and money line wagers. My experience is to make this a straight play and get the couple of points. The following game situations match my expectations for the outcome of this game.  Notre Dame is a near-perfect 8-1 against the money line (+12.3 Units) when they make 38% to 45% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 3 seasons; 6-1 against the money line (+6.1 Units) when they grab 8 or less offensive rebounds in a game this season. UVA is a weak  3-9 against the money line (-8.8 Units) when their opponents make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last 3 seasons;  0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) when their opponents make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last 2 seasons. Situationally, Notre Dame is 10-2 ATS in home games off a close road win by 3 points or less since 1997. Brey is 11-2 ATS (+8.8 Units) off a win over a conference rival as an underdog of 6 points or more as the coach of Notre Dame.

01-09-15 Quinnipiac v. Monmouth -2.5 Top 68-64 Loss -105 9 h 41 m Show

25* graded play on the Monmouth as they host Quinnipiac in MAAC action set to start at 7:00 PM ET.  Based on the SIM projections and the body of research I have studied, I strongly believe Monmouth will win this game by 7 or more points. Further, the following game condition matches my expectations and shows that Monmouth is a solid 11-3 ATS (+7.7 Units) when they make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game over the last 3 seasons. Zaid Hurst is the single most important player for Qinnipiac. He has team-highs in minutes (37) and scoring (19.8). There is a vast drop-off in productivity from the remainder of the roster. Monmouth is far more well-rounded and deep off the bench. They are led by a pair of guards in Justin Robinson and Deon Jones, who very good court chemistry. No one on the team plays more than 30 minutes and the more frequent substitutions keep the starters fresh for the last 10 minutes of games. This will prove to be the difference as Hurst will likely see action in all but perhaps 2 minutes. I also believe you will see that Monmouth is the faster and quicker team, especially on defense. Take Monmouth.

01-08-15 Oakland +8.5 v. Cleveland State Top 61-65 Win 100 4 h 2 m Show

25* graded play on Oakland as they take on Cleveland State in Horizon Conference action set to start at 7:30 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Oakland will lose this game by fewer than 8 points. I also like adding a 1.5* play using the money line to take advantage of the possible SU upset win by Oakland. On the technical side, we see a situational power trend showing that Oakland is 16-4 ATS (+11.6 Units) in road games off a win by 10 points or more over a conference rival since 1997. Cleveland State is back-to-back wins shooting 57 and 59% respectively. It is highly unlike that any team can put together a series of extremely high shooting games (above 55%). In fact, we note that CS is just 2-10 ATS (-9.0 Units) in home games after a game where they made 55% of their shots or better since 1997. Oakland has a strong playing Center in Corey Petros, who is the team leader in rebounds and blocks. H has size at 6-10 and 255 pounds that will allow him to dominate the paint on offense and protect the rim on defense. CS likes to get out on the break periodically and the presence of Petros is going to limit those opportunities in transition. Moreover, CS is a perimeter based shooting team and loves the three. Here again, Petros is going to be able to snag long rebounding balls ogf of missed threes OR block out his man allowing his teammates to get the board. I see Oakland with a decided edge in rebounding that will minimize CS multi-shot possessions. This is a dominant key to Oakland pulling off the upset win. 

01-08-15 Michigan State v. Iowa -2.5 Top 75-61 Loss -105 4 h 33 m Show

25* graded play on the Iowa Hawkeyes as they host Michigan State in a BIG Ten Conference matchup set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Iowa will win this game by 6 or more points. The following game situations match my expectations and projections for the outcome of this game. Iowa is a rock solid 14-4 ATS when they attempt 4 to 9 more free throws than opponents in a game over the last three seasons; 9-2 ATS (+6.8 Units) when they grab 40 to 44 rebounds in a game over the last 2 seasons. In power rating matchups we see that MSU is an imperfect  0-7 ATS (-7.7 Units) when excellent free throw shooting teams making >=77% of their shots since 1997. Iowa is a solid 12-3 ATS (+8.7 Units) in home games when playing only their 2nd game in a week over the last 3 seasons; 23-11 ATS (+10.9 Units) after having won 5 or 6 of their last 7 games over the last 3 seasons; 22-10 ATS (+11.0 Units) after playing a game as a home favorite over the last 3 seasons. I like the fact that Iowa has the size and athleticism that matchers up extremely well against MSU. Iowa is led by Forward Aaron White, how has team highs in minutes (28), points (16.5), rebounds (7.4), and steals (1.7). He is not a one-man team, though and is well supported by an excellent bench. ost teams have two players that exceed 32 minutes in playing time. In this case we do see that no player is even close to that mark and this reflects just how deep the Iowa bench is this season. I do think you will see a slightly shorter bench with the majority of minutes being chewed up by eight players. Still, the depth keeps their starters very fresh over the course of a game with only a modest drop-off in production and efficiency. Take Iowa. 

01-08-15 George Mason v. Richmond -7 Top 65-75 Win 100 4 h 31 m Show

25* graded play on Richmond as they take on George Mason in CAA action set to start at 7:00 PM ET. The simulator shows a high probability that Richmond will win this game by 9 or more points. Supporting this graded play is a proven system posting a 74-35 ATS mark for 68% winners since 1997. Play on a favorite (RICHMOND) after failing to cover the spread in four or more consecutive games and is now facing an opponent after successfully covering the spread in four or more consecutive games. The following situations match my expectations for the outcome of this game. George Mason is a money burning 36-55 ATS (-24.5 Units) in road games when they make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game since 1997; 30-94 ATS (-73.4 Units) when they score 60 or less points in a game since 1997; 15-31 ATS (-19.1 Units) in road games when they score 55 to 60 points in a game since 1997; Richmond is a solid 116-50 ATS (+61.0 Units) when they allow 60 or less points in a game since 1997. In the major matchups, Richmond has the vastly better defense and after losing three games, I strongly believe the coaching will have them turn up the defensive intensity. Richmond is led by guard Kendall Anthony, who is the team leader in scoring adn rebounds. However, in each of the remaining major statistical categories, a single player is the team leader. This reflects how broad the talent actually is on the Richmond team. They have underperformed to date, but now the line has been over-corrected and offers a very cheap line for this play on Richmond. 

01-08-15 Cal Poly +4 v. Hawaii Top 61-57 Win 100 13 h 56 m Show

25* graded play on Cal Poly - SLO as they play Hawaii set to start at 11:59 PM ET.  The simulator shows a high probability that Cal Poly - SLO will win this game. I like making this a combination wager using a 20* play on the line and a 5* play using the money line. The following game situations match my expectations for the outcome of this game. CAL POLY-SLO is 6-0 ATS (+6.0 Units) when they grab 40 to 44 rebounds in a game over the last 3 seasons. Hawaii has been a money burning  61-100 ATS (-49.0 Units) when they make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game since 1997. Hawaii guard Garrett Nevells is listed as probable with a hand injury, which brings into question how effective his ball handling will be throughout the game. Cal Poly will have a significant edge in size as Hawaii has a roster loaded with guards and just two forwards and no centers. I also see Cal Poly's scoring leader David Nwaba having a big night against many favorable matchups. Take Cal Poly - SLO
