03-03-22 | Cincinnati v. SMU -7 | 71-76 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 2 m | Show | |
Cincinnati @ SMU 7:00 PM ET Game# 731-732 Play On: SMU -7.0 (5*) SMU will be playing with big time revenge this evening versus a Cincinnati program that has defeated them in each of the last 10 meetings. One of those defeats came at Cincinnati earlier this season. However, SMU is a perfect 14-0 at home this season and with an average victory margin of 14.8 points per game. The Mustangs will be facing a Bearcats team that is 0-4 SU&ATS in their last 4. Cincinnati is also a dismal 0-4 SU&ATS in their last 4 as a road underdog while losing by 15.3 points per game. Give me SMU minus the points. |

03-02-22 | Auburn v. Mississippi State +4 | Top | 81-68 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 40 m | Show |
Auburn @ Mississippi State 9:00 PM ET Game# 711-712 Play On: Mississippi State +4.0 (10*) Auburn has gone 2-3 SU and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 on the road. Their only 2 SU wins came against the 2 worst teams in the SEC in Missouri and Georgia. As a matter of fact, those 2 wins came by a combined 3 points and they were favorites of 14.0 and 14.5 in those contests. Conversely, Mississippi State has gone 7-1 SU in conference home games this season. The Bulldogs have shot 49% or better in each of their previous 5 at home. Give me Mississippi State minus the points for a Top Play wager. |

03-01-22 | Providence v. Villanova -9.5 | Top | 74-76 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 39 m | Show |
Providence @ Villanova 6:30 PM ET Game# 605-606 Play On: Villanova -9.5 (10*) We have the higher ranked team in #9 Providence (24-3) as close to a double-digit underdog against #11 Villanova (21-7). Just as I expected, public money has been overwhelmingly in favor of Providence. I seldom if ever go with what can be perceived as the obvious choice. This betting situation certainly qualifies in the regard. Furthermore, I unequivocally trust the oddsmakers more than those voters participating in the national polls. These teams met just 2 weeks ago at Providence and Villanova walked away with a 5-point win. This is one of those times that the revenge factor means very little to me. The Friars just don’t match up well against Villanova. I’m calling for a decisive win and cover by the home favorite Wildcats. Gove me Villanova minus the points for my Big East Game of the Year”. |

02-28-22 | UCLA v. Washington +8.5 | 77-66 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
UCLA @ Washington 11:00 PM ET Game# 877-878 Play On: Washington +8.5 (5*) Washington was just 3-4 in their first 7 home games. However, since conference play began the Huskies are 6-1 at home and their only loss came to #2 Arizona. Conversely, UCLA is just 2-4 SU&ATS in their last 6 conference away games. Washington will also be out to revenge a 26-point loss at UCLA earlier this season. UCLA is clearly the better team on paper. Nevertheless, give me Washington plus the points. |
|||||||
02-28-22 | Kansas State v. Texas Tech -12.5 | 68-73 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
Kansas State @ Texas Tech 9:00 PM ET Game# 871-872 Play On: Texas Tech -12.5 (5*) Texas Tech is coming off a 69-66 loss at TCU. The #12 Red Raiders are a perfect 6-0 SU&ATS this season following a loss and won by 16.0 points per contest. Texas Tech will also be out for revenge after sustaining a 62-51 loss at Kansas State earlier this year. Give me Texas Tech minus the points. |
|||||||
02-28-22 | Wolves v. Cavs +3.5 | Top | 127-122 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 21 m | Show |
Minnesota @ Cleveland 7:10 PM ET Game# 867-868 Play On: Cleveland +3.5 (10*) Cleveland has won 8 straight home games, so they possess plenty of betting value as an underdog in this contest. Furthermore, they allowed less than 100 points in each of their previous 7 at home. Conversely, Minnesota has lost 7 consecutive away games when facing an opponent with a winning record. The Timberwolves have been dominated on the glass in their last 5 by an average of 9 rebound per game. Give me Cleveland plus the points for a Top Play wager. |
|||||||
02-27-22 | Wichita State v. Memphis -8.5 | 57-81 | Win | 100 | 4 h 15 m | Show | |
Wichita State @ Memphis 2:30 PM ET Game# 835-836 Play On: Memphis -8.5 (5*) After being a major disappointment for the first half of the season, Memphis is playing like the team experts thought they would be down the final stretch of regular season action. The Tigers are 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games. Furthermore, Memphis is 5-0 SU&ATS in their previous 5 as a favorite of 3.5 or greater and with an average victory margin of 15.4 points per game. The Tigers are also 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 conference home games and won by 17.5 points per contest. Conversely, Wichita State has lost its last 4 conference away game. The Shockers also suffered a 82-64 blowout home loss to Memphis on New Year’s Day. Wichita State started the season 10-3 and has gone 4-8 since that time. Give me Memphis minus the points. |

02-26-22 | Boise State v. UNLV +1 | 86-76 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 43 m | Show | |
Boise State @ UNLV 10:00 PM ET Game# 801-802 Play On: UNLV +1.0 (5*) UNLV has gone 4-0 in their last 4 conference home games and won by an average of 13.5 points per contest. UNLV will also be out to revenge a 6-point loss at Boise State on 2/11. Boise State is 13-2 in conference play and UNLV is 9-6. Despite the Broncos being 4.0 games better than UNLV in the conference standings, the oddsmakers have virtually made this an even game. It’s seldom as easy as it looks when it comes to sports betting. Give me UNLV on Saturday. |
|||||||
02-26-22 | Kansas v. Baylor -3 | 70-80 | Win | 100 | 23 h 46 m | Show | |
Kansas @ Baylor 8:00 PM ET Game# 761-762 Play On: Baylor -3.0 (5*) I may be in the minority, but I don’t think Kansas is as good as their record or ranking indicates. This is a golden opportunity for Baylor to make a huge statement and send a message to other Big 12 teams regarding the upcoming conference tournament. Baylor will be playing with big time revenge after sustaining an embarrassing 24-point loss at Kansas on 2/5. The Bears are coming off a 2-point win at Oklahoma State in a game they shot just 36%. However, Baylor is 3-0 SU&ATS this season following a game in which they shote less than 40% and won by an average of 10.7 points per game. The oddsmakers are undeterred by Baylor’s blowout loss at Kansas based on this line and I concur with that mindset. Give me Baylor minus the points. |
|||||||
02-26-22 | Florida State v. Virginia -7 | 64-63 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 51 m | Show | |
Florida State @ Virginia 4:00 PM ET Game# 661-662 Play On: Virginia -7.0 (5*) These are two teams clearly headed in opposite directions. Florida State has gone any abysmal 1-8 SU and 0-9 ATS in their last 9 games. That includes going 0-5 SU&ATS during its previous 5 road contest and they lost by an average of 14.8 points per game. Virginia is coming off a narrow 4-point loss to Duke. Nonetheless, the Cavaliers are 10-0 this year following a loss which includes 7-0 ATS in the last 7 with an average victory margin of 10.3 points per game. Virginia is also 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 as a home favorite. Give me Virginia minus the points. |

02-26-22 | Auburn v. Tennessee -3.5 | Top | 62-67 | Win | 100 | 19 h 47 m | Show |
Auburn @ Tennessee 4:00 PM ET Game# 659-660 Play On: Tennessee -3.5 (10*) This line jumped right off the page to me since #3 Auburn comes up as an underdog versus #17 Tennessee. Especially when considering, if this game were being played at Auburn, the Tigers would only be no more than a 3.0 or 4.0-point favorite. Since Auburn was ranked #1 for a first time in program history in late January, they’ve been dominant at home but very beatable on the road. Specifically speaking, during that time span Auburn is 2-2 SU and 0-4 ATS on the road. Additionally, their only 2 SU road wins in that stretch came over Missouri by 2 as a 14.0-points favorite and by 1 over Georgia as a 14.5-point chalk. Those 2 opponents are arguably the worst teams in the SEC this season. Conversely, Tennessee is a perfect 14-0 at home this season. The Volunteers are #36 nationally out of 358 Division 1 teams in terms of home court advantage. Tennessee is also #3 nationally in defensive efficiency in giving up just 87.9 points per their opponents 100 offensive possessions. Give me Tennessee minus the small number for a Top Play wager. |

02-26-22 | Kentucky v. Arkansas -2 | 73-75 | Push | 0 | 17 h 50 m | Show | |
Kentucky @ Arkansas 2:00 PM ET Game# 627-628 Play On: Arkansas -2.0 (5*) Kentucky comes in with a stellar 23-5 record. Nevertheless, they’re just 1-4 SU&ATS in true road games when their point-spread is between -4.5 and +4.5. Arkansas is an outstanding 15-1 at home this season with an average victory margin of 15.1 points per game. Their most notable home wins coming over #3 Auburn and #19 Tennessee. The Razorbacks are a red-hot 12-1 SU&ATS in their last 13 games overall. Give me Arkansas minus the small number. |
|||||||
02-26-22 | IUPU Ft Wayne v. Detroit -3 | 81-78 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 51 m | Show | |
IPFW @ Detroit 1:00 PM ET Game# 615-616 Play On: Detroit -3.0 (5*) IPFW is 19-10 this season. Yet, they find themselves as an underdog versus a 13-13 Detroit team. Which is sure to give some public bettors a false sense of security when taking the underdog. I had Detroit on Thursday as a 1.5-point home underdog and they defeated Cleveland State (19-8) by 7. That win improved their record in lined home games to 7-0 SU&ATS this season and with a decisive victory margin of 13.0 points per contest. To use an overused cliché, “if it’s not broke then don’t fix it. Give me Detroit minus the points. |
|||||||
02-25-22 | Mavs v. Jazz -5.5 | Top | 109-114 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 53 m | Show |
Dallas @ Utah 9:10 PM ET Game# 513-514 Play On: Utah -5.5 (10*) Utah has gone 10-0 SU and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 at home versus Dallas. The Jazz are also 6-0 SU&ATS in their previous 6 at home and won by an average of 18.5 points per game. During that 6-game home win streak, Utah has held opponents to 99.2 points per game. Since the start of last season, Utah has gone 16-4 (80%) ATS in the month of February and outscored their opponents by 13.8 points per contest. Give me Utah minus the points for a Top Play wager. |
|||||||
02-25-22 | 76ers v. Wolves +2.5 | 133-102 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
Philadelphia @ Minnesota 8:10 PM ET Game# 511-512 Play On: Minnesota +2.5 (5*) This will be the highly anticipated debut of James Harden for the Philadelphia 76ers. As a result, the public has been pounding the 76ers in this matchup. However, this isn’t a Minnesota team that’s just going to lay down and will be highly motivate. The Timberwolves have gone an extremely profitable 7-1 SU&ATS in their last 8 home games. That includes last night’s 119-114 home win over a very good Memphis Grizzlies (41-20) squad who currently holds down the #3 seed behind only Phoenix and Golden State in the Western Conference standings. The lack of rest won’t be as much a factor as usual considering Minnesota recently had plenty of time off due to the all-star break. Give me Minnesota plus the points. |
|||||||
02-24-22 | Warriors v. Blazers +10 | 132-95 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 24 m | Show | |
Golden State @ Portland 10:00 PM ET Game# 579-580 Play On: Portland +10.0 (5*) Golden State is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games and all were as a favorite. Additionally, the Warriors return from the all-star break having lost 4 of their last 5 straight up. Conversely, Portland is 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 games and they were an underdog on each occasion. The last 2 of those wins occurred against defending world champion Milwaukee and versus a Memphis team who entered that contest winners of 6 straight and 9 of their last 10. Give me Portland plus the points. |
|||||||
02-24-22 | Cleveland State v. Detroit +1.5 | 67-74 | Win | 100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Cleveland State @ Detroit 7:00 PM ET Game# 759-760 Play On: Detroit +1.5 (5*) This line jumped right off the page at me. We have a 19-7 Cleveland State team as just a short favorite versus a 12-13 opponent. As a result, Cleveland State will undeniably be a heavily bet public side. However, going with the perceived obvious pick more times than not is the wrong decision. Besides, Detroit is a perfect 6-0 SU&ATS in line home games this season and with a decisive victory margin of 14.0 points per contest. The Titans average 81.9 points scored per game at home while shooting 47.0% and converting on an excellent 45.1% of their 3-point attempts. As a matter of fact, Detroit has averaged 14 makes from 3-point territory per game at home. Detroit will also be out to revenge a 2-point loss at Cleveland State earlier this season. Give me Detroit plus the small number. |

02-23-22 | Mississippi State v. South Carolina +2.5 | 56-66 | Win | 100 | 5 h 52 m | Show | |
Mississippi State @ South Carolina 6:30 PM ET Game# 663-664 Play On: South Carolina +2.5 (5*) South Carolina has gone 3-0 SU&ATS in their last 3 while averaging 78.0 points scored per game and they shot an impressive 49.7%. The Gamecocks have held opponents to a mere 41.3% shooting this season and that’s noteworthy when it comes to today’s contest. Mississippi State is an abysmal 1-8 SU this season when facing teams that hold their opponents to 42% or less shooting on the year. Mississippi State is a terrible 1-7 SU in true road games this season and their lone win came in their previous outing by a slim 2-point margin versus Missouri who’s currently the 2nd worst team in the SEC. Since the start of the 2019-2020 season, Mississippi State is 0-6 ATS immediately following a conference win by 3 points or fewer and was outscored by a sizable 12.2 points per game. Give me South Carolina plus the small number. |

02-21-22 | Baylor v. Oklahoma State +5 | 66-64 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
Baylor @ Oklahoma State 9:00 PM ET Game# 895-896 Play On: Oklahoma State +5.0 (5*) Oklahoma State is 3-0 in their last 3 and 5-1 during its previous 6 at home. The Cowboys have been extremely efficient offensively while shooting 47% or better in 7 of its last 8 games. Since 2019, Oklahoma State is 10-0 SU at home in February. As good as Baylor is, they’ve gone a disappointing 1-3 SU&ATS in their last 4 away games. The Bears also lost to Oklahoma State on their home floor earlier this season in a game they were a substantial 14.0-point favorite. Give me Oklahoma State plus the points. |

02-21-22 | Indiana v. Ohio State -5.5 | 69-80 | Win | 100 | 5 h 58 m | Show | |
Indiana @ Ohio State 7:00 PM ET Game# 875-876 Play On: Ohio State -5.5 (5*) Ohio State is coming off a 75-62 home loss ti Iowa on Saturday. It was the Buckeyes 1st home loss of the season. Ohio State is 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS following a loss this season. Additionally, Ohio State will be playing with revenge stemming from a 67-51 loss at Indiana earlier this season. The Buckeyes have made an excellent 41.6% of their 3-point shot attempts throughout their previous 5 games. Indiana started the season 16-5. However, they’ve gone a dismal 0-4 SU&ATS in their last 4 while averaging a mere 59.0 points scored per game and a combined 37.8% shooting. The Hoosiers are also 0-4 SU&ATS in their last 4 at Ohio State. Give me Ohio State minus the points. |
|||||||
02-21-22 | UTEP v. Middle Tennessee -5 | 59-77 | Win | 100 | 5 h 55 m | Show | |
UTEP @ Middle Tennessee State 7:00 Game# 865-866 Play On: Middle Tennessee State -5.0 (5*) MTSU is 10-1 SU and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games. Furthermore, the Blue Raiders 8-0 SU&ATS in their previous 8 as a favorite of 8.5 or less with an average victory margin of 10.9 points per game. UTEP has allowed 3 of their last 4 opponents to shoot 51% or better. That’s not good news since they’ll be facing an MTSU team which has averaged 76.6 points scored per game, shot 49.8% from the field, made 41.2% of their 3-point attempts, and converted on 81.1% of its free throws over their previous 5 contests. Give me Middle Tennessee State minus the points. |

02-19-22 | Texas A&M v. Vanderbilt -3.5 | Top | 67-72 | Win | 100 | 20 h 9 m | Show |
Texas A&M @ Vanderbilt 6:00 PM ET Game# 737-738 Play On: Vanderbilt -3.5 (10*) Vanderbilt was very competitive in road losses at #2 Auburn and #19 Tennessee. They covered the Tennessee game and fell just short in a 14-point loss to Auburn as a 13.5-point underdog. The Commodores return home where they’ve won 3 straight and a much-improved team than we saw earlier this season. Conversely, Texas A&M started the season 15-2 and then since that time they’ve gone 1-8. Their lone victory in that sequence came by 1 at home over Florida. These are two teams heading in opposite directions. Give me Vanderbilt minus the points for a Top Play wager. |

02-19-22 | Tennessee v. Arkansas -2.5 | 48-58 | Win | 100 | 18 h 11 m | Show | |
Tennessee @ Arkansas 4:00 PM ET Game# 673-674 Play On: Arkansas -2.5 (5*) Tennessee is an unbeaten 0-4 at home this season but an uninspiring 5-6 SU in games played away from Knoxville. Arkansas is 14-1 at home this season and that includes 6-0 SU&ATS in their last 6. Arkansas has held 9 of their last 11 opponents to shoot less than 40% and held them to 60 points or fewer 7 times. Give me Arkansas minus the small number. |

02-19-22 | Auburn v. Florida +3.5 | 62-63 | Win | 100 | 16 h 13 m | Show | |
Auburn @ Florida 2:00 PM ET Game# 651-652 Play On: Florida +3.5 (5*) We have unranked Florida (16-10) as just a 3.0-point underdog versus #2 Auburn (24-2) who is near perfect if not for sustaining 2 overtime losses. They’re begging you to take Auburn as a short favorite in this spot but I’m declining the invitation. Florida is in desperate need of a resume building win over a top opponent and the chance won’t get much glorious than this one. The Gators have won their last 5 at home. Furthermore, this will be the 4th road game for Auburn since they were ranked #1 for a first time in school history. They looked anything but dominant in the previous 3 while escaping with a 1-point win at Missouri and 2-point victory at Georgia. Those are arguably the 2 of the worst SEC teams this season. The Tigers also lost in overtime at Arkansas. Give me Florida plus the points. |

02-19-22 | Alabama v. Kentucky -6.5 | 81-90 | Win | 100 | 15 h 14 m | Show | |
Alabama @ Kentucky 1:00 PM ET Game# 629-630 Play On: Kentucky -6.5 (5*) #4 Kentucky will be in a sour mood after suffering a 13-point loss at Tennessee in their previous outing. The Wildcats return to the comforts of Adolph Rupp Arena where they’re 15-0 this season and outscoring opponents by 24.5 points per game. #25 Alabama has gone just 2-5 SU in true road games this season which included terrible losses to Missouri as a 14.0-point favorite and as a 14.5-point chalk at Georgia. We know that Alabama can beat of the best of the best when considering they have wins over 5 teams currently ranked in the Top 25. However, the only thing consistent about the Crimson Tide is their inconsistently. Give me Kentucky minus the points. |

02-19-22 | Texas Tech v. Texas -3 | 61-55 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 45 m | Show | |
Texas Tech @ Texas 12:30 PM ET Game# 615-616 Play On: Texas -3.0 (5*) Texas is a terrific 15-1 at home this season and outscored their opponents by a decisive average of 19.8 points per game. Texas Tech is 16-0 at home this season but they’re only 2-5 SU in true road games. As a matter of fact, the Red Raiders have scored 60 points or fewer in 3 of its last 4 games. That can be highly problematic when facing a Texas team which is allowing a mere 50.6 points per game at home. Texas will also be playing with big time revenge after suffering a 13-point loss at Texas Tech. I’m betting the Longhorns even the score in this one by a comfortable margin. |

02-17-22 | Towson v. NC-Wilmington +3.5 | Top | 79-55 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 7 m | Show |
Towson State @ UNC-Wilmington 6:00 PM ET Game# 743-744 Play On: NC-Wilmington +3.5 (10*) NC-Wilmington continues to not get much respect from oddsmakers despite going 14-2 SU&ATS in their last 16 games versus Division 1 opponents. Furthermore, the Seawolves have gone a superb 9-0 ATS and 8-1 SU in their last 9 as an underdog. Wilmington is 9-1 SU and 8-2 ATS in lined home games this season, and that includes 3-0 SU&ATS as a home underdog. Give me UNC-Wilmington plus the points for a Top Play wager. |

02-16-22 | Mississippi State v. Alabama -6 | 75-80 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
Mississippi State @ Alabama 7:00 PM ET Game# 691-692 Play On: Alabama -6.0 (5*) Mississippi State has lost 5 of their last 6 games. The Bulldogs are also an abysmal 0-6 SU in true road games this season. During their previous 3 road contests, Mississippi State averaged a paltry 56.7 points scored per game and shot less than 40% in each contest. Alabama’s only 2 home losses this season came against #2 Auburn and #4 Kentucky. The Crimson Tide is coming off a 68-67 home win over #24 Arkansas. It was just the 4th time all season that Alabama failed to score more than 70 points. The previous 3 times that occurred, Alabama followed those sub-70-point performances by averaging 85.0 points scored per contest in their following game. Alabama also shot 39% in that win over Arkansas. It marked just the 5th time all season that Alabama shot less than 40% from the field. The first 4 times that transpired, Alabama bounced back to shoot 50% or better on each occasion. The Crimson Tide will also be playing with same season revenge stemming for an earlier season 2-point loss at Mississippi State. Give me Alabama minus the points. |

Utah State @ San Diego State 11;00 PM ET Game# 661-662 Play On: San Diego State -4.5 (5*) San Diego State will be out to revenge an earlier season loss at Utah State. The Aztecs are 12-1 at home this season and allowed just 54.7 points per game and held opponents to a miserable 36.8% shooting. As a matter of fact, since the start of the 2019 calendar year, San Diego State is 49-5 at home and that includes 30-4 versus conference opponents. Utah State has lost 2 straight games and that includes an 85-72 defeat as an 11.0-point home favorite against Nevada in its previous contest. Give me San Diego State minus the points. |

02-15-22 | Arkansas v. Missouri +7.5 | 76-57 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
Arkansas @ Missouri 9:00 PM ET Game# 657-658 Play On: Missouri +7.5 (5*) Arkansas is coming off a 1-point loss Alabama which halted their 8-game win streak. The Razorbacks are coming off grueling close games versus #2 Auburn and #25 Alabama in their last 2. They have #19 Tennessee up next after today’s contest and in between they face a subpar 10-14 Missouri team. Additionally, Arkansas is one of just a couple currently ranked Top 25 teams that hasn’t responded well immediately following a loss this season. Missouri may have a poor record and is one of the bottom feeders in the SEC. However, the Tigers are a perfect 7-0 ATS in their last 7 at home. Give me Missouri plus the points. |

02-14-22 | West Virginia v. Kansas State -3.5 | 73-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 60 m | Show | |
West Virginia @ Kansas State 7:00 PM ET Game# 871-872 Play On: Kansas State -3.5 (5*) West Virginia has gone 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 true away games and were outscored by 15.0 points per contest. The most recent of those road defeats came on Saturday when they were routed by Oklahoma State 81-58. Furthermore, the Mountaineers are 0-7 SU&ATS in their last 7 as an underdog of 11.5 or less and they lost by an average of 14.6 points per game. Conversely, Kansas State has gained some confidence after winning 3 of its last 4 which included upset road wins over TCU and Iowa State. The Wildcats will also be out to revenge a 3-point road loss at West Virginia earlier this season in a game they easily covered as a 9.0-point underdog. Give me Kansas State minus the points. |

02-13-22 | Rams -4 v. Bengals | Top | 23-20 | Loss | -110 | 98 h 28 m | Show |
LA Rams vs. Cincinnati 6:30 PM ET Game# 101-102 Play On: LA Rams -4.0 (10*) Cincinnati allowed 55 sacks of their quarterbacks during regular season action. Only Baltimore and Chicago were worse in that statistical category. Conversely, the Rams defense amassed 50 sacks during regular season which was 3rd best among all NFL teams. The Bengals have allowed 12 more sacks in the postseason, and it includes 9 during their upset win at Tennessee. Cincinnati has rushed for less than 100 yards in all 3 postseason games. On the other hand, Los Angeles has limited their 3 postseason opponents to 61 yards or fewer rushing and permitted a mere 3.1 yards per carry. The Rams are coming off a win over bitter division rival San Francisco in the NFC Championship Game. Since the 2019-2020 season began, the Rams are 15-4 SU&ATS immediately following a division game and includes 7-1 SU&ATS if they played at home. The Rams enter the Super Bowl having won 8 of its last 9 games. Their only loss during that stretch came by 3 to San Francisco in a game they squandered a 17-point lead. The Los Angeles running game is much better than their season statistics indicate. They were without star running back Cam Ackers until their regular season finale. Their passing game has been dynamic this season and ranked #5 during NFL regular season action while amassing 273.1 yards per game. They’ll be facing a Cincinnati defense which was 26th against the pass in allowing 248.1 yards per contest. This is a bad matchup for Cincinnati on both sides of the ball. Cincinnati won’t be able to sustain a consistent running game against a stout Rams defense. Furthermore, the Bengals offensive line will struggle mightily in protecting Joe Burrow. That’s not a winning formula by any stretch of the imagination. Give me the LA Rams minus the points. |

02-12-22 | Ole Miss v. Missouri -2 | 68-74 | Win | 100 | 25 h 30 m | Show | |
Ole Miss @ Missouri 8:30 PM ET Game# 793-794 Play On: Missouri -2.0 (5*) These certainly aren’t 2 of the better teams in the SEC. Nonetheless, the home standing Missouri Tigers are the lesser of the 2 evils and they possess ample betting value in this matchup. Missouri has suffered 4 home loss this season and those defeats came by a combined 11 points. On the other hand, Ole Miss is 1-4 SU in true road games this season. Give me Missouri minus the small number. |

02-12-22 | Ohio State +2.5 v. Michigan | Top | 68-57 | Win | 100 | 23 h 41 m | Show |
Ohio State @ Michigan 6:00 PM ET Game# 739-740 Play On: Ohio State +2.5 (10*) My prediction is Michigan will be a heavily bet side in this matchup after their 82-58 home blowout over #3 Purdue on Thursday. It was far and away the best that Michigan has played all season. It would be a big ask to expect Michigan to turn in a similar dominating performance over another ranked team just 2 days later. It’s also unlikely the Wolverines will be able to match the emotion and laser like focus they displayed against Purdue. Conversely, #16 Ohio State will be in a sour mood after being upset 66-64 at Rutgers on Wednesday night. The good news for Buckeye backers is that their team is 5-0 SU this season following a loss. Give me Ohio State plus the small number for a Top Play wager. |

02-12-22 | TCU v. Texas Tech -10.5 | 69-82 | Win | 100 | 19 h 44 m | Show | |
TCU @ Texas Tech 4:00 PM ET Game# 691-692 Play On: Texas Tech -10.5 (5*) #13 Texas Tech (18-6) is coming off a poor performance in their last game as they fell 70-55 at unranked Oklahoma. On the bright side, the Red Raiders are 5-0 SU&ATS this season following a loss and they won by a decisive margin of 16.6 points per game. Included in those 5 bounce back wins were victories over #8 Kansas and #19 Tennessee. Furthermore, Texas Tech is an unbeaten 14-0 at home this season and 13 of those wins came by double-digit margins and the other was by 8 over then #5 Kansas. TCU has a stellar 16-5 season record which includes 4-1 SU in true road games. Yet, they’re unranked and come in as a heavy underdog. They’re begging you to take the sizable underdog in this spot. I won’t accept their seemingly generous offer. Give me Texas Tech minus the points. |

02-12-22 | West Virginia v. Oklahoma State -3.5 | 58-81 | Win | 100 | 17 h 45 m | Show | |
West Virginia @ Oklahoma State 2:00 PM ET Game# 633-634 Play On: Oklahoma State -3.5 (5*) West Virginia is coming off a 79-63 home win over a struggling Iowa State team. That victory halted a Mountaineers 7-game losing streak. West Virginia is a terrible 0-5 SU&ATS in conference road game this season and were outscored by 13.4 points per contest. Oklahoma State is 3-1 SU in their last 4 at home and their lone defeat came in overtime. The Cowboys rank #19 out of 357 Division 1 teams in defensive efficiency while allowing 91.5 points per 100 defensive possessions. I look for that part of their game to pave the way for a cover. Give me Oklahoma State minus the points. |

Navy @ Army 1:30 PM ET Game# 011-012 Play On: Navy -3.5 (5*) Navy lost to Army at home and blew a massive 27-point lead in that contest. Yet, the Midshipmen find themselves as a road favorite in this current matchup and rightfully so. Since that epic comeback win over Navy, Army has gone a dismal 1-5. Navy is the top defensive team in the Patriot League from an efficiency rating standpoint. The Middies get their revenge on Saturday. Give me Navy minus the points. |

02-12-22 | Texas A&M v. Auburn -12.5 | 58-75 | Win | 100 | 15 h 46 m | Show | |
Texas A&M @ Auburn 12:00 PM ET Game# 609-610 Play On: Auburn -12.5 (5*) #1 Auburn will be in a bad mood after losing in overtime at Arkansas in their previous game. They return home where they’ve gone a dominating 12-0 SU and 11-1 ATS with an average victory margin of 18.8 points per game. They’ll get just what the doctor order in a Texas A&M team which has lost 7 consecutive games after starting the season 15-2. The Aggies have been poor defensively throughout their previous 5 games while allowing opponents to shoot 48.6% and convert on an alarmingly high 44.8% of their 3-point shot attempts. Give me Auburn minus the points. |

02-10-22 | Morehead State v. Belmont -9 | 47-48 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Morehead State @ Belmont 8:00 PM ET Game# 803-804 Play On: Belmont -9.0 (5*) This line jumped off the board at me. Morehead State is 19-6 which includes 11-1 in Ohio Valley Conference action. Additionally, they already have an 83-74 home win over Belmont on their season resume. Yet, they opened as a 10.0-point underdog in this matchup. They’re begging you to take the underdog in this spot. However, upon further research, Morehead State is 0-6 ATS this season as a road underdog with an average margin of defeat coming by 16.3 points per game. Since their loss to Morehead State, Belmont has won 6 consecutive games and shot 49% or better in each of those contests. Belmont is 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 at home versus Morehead State and won by a decisive margin of 21.3 points per game. Give me Belmont minus the points. |

Old Dominion @ Middle Tennessee State 7:00 PM ET Game# 775-776 Play On: Middle Tennessee State -5.0 (5*) Old Dominion has gone a dismal 0-4 SU&ATS in their last 4 conference road games and lost by an average of 12.0 points per contest. Conversely, Middle Tennessee State is a perfect 10-0 at home with an average victory margin of 18.1 points per game. MTSU is also an extremely profitable 7-0 ATS this season as a favorite of 12.0 or less. Give me Middle Tennessee State minus the points. |

Tennessee @ Mississippi State 9:00 PM ET Game# 745-746 Play On: Mississippi State +1.5 (10*) #19 travels to Biloxi, Mississippi for what shapes up to be a tough matchup despite them facing an unranked opponent. The Volunteers are coming off an 81-57 blowout win at South Carolina. Since the start of last season, Tennessee has gone 0-4 SU following a conference win by 20 or more and lost by an average of 9.3 points per game. The Volunteers are just 2-4 SU in conference away games this season. Mississippi State has displayed a strong home court advantage this season while going 12-1 SU and 9-4 ATS in those games. Furthermore, Mississippi State is 5-0 SU&ATS in conference home games this season The Bulldogs are coming off a 63-55 loss at Arkansas in a game they shot just 35.3% from the field. Mississippi State is 3-0 SU&ATS this season following a game in which they shot less than 40% and has a substantial victory margin of 18.0 points per game. The Bulldogs are in desperate need of a signature win over a ranked opponent to improve their NCAA Tournament resume. Give me Mississippi State for a Top Play wager. |

Ohio State @ Rutgers 7:00 PM ET Game# 699-700 Play On: Rutgers +3.5 (5*) Rutgers has gone a perfect 4-0 SU&ATS as a conference home underdog this season. Included in those 4 victories was wins over #3 Purdue and #17 Michigan State. The Scarlet Knights are 13-9 SU this season. However, 5 of their 9 losses have come by 3 points or fewer. #16 Ohio State (16-5) has lost 3 of its last 4 conference road games. Give me Rutgers plus the points. |

02-08-22 | Bucks v. Lakers +3.5 | 131-116 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Milwaukee @ LA Lakers 10:10 PM ET Game# 515-516 Play On: LA Lakers +3.5 (5*) This will be the 3rd road game in 4 days for Milwaukee and they were dominant in each of the first 2. However, they’ll be facing a Lakers team playing on 2 days rest with star players Lebron James and Anthony Davis listed as probable. Despite Milwaukee clearly being the better team in this matchup, this is an advantageous betting situation for the home underdog Lakers. Give me the LA Lakers plus the points. |

Michigan @ Penn State 9:00 PM ET Game# 655-656 Play On: Penn State +2.0 (5*) Michigan is a disappointing 2-6 SU&ATS in true road games this season. The Wolverines have been terrible defensively during their previous 3 contests while allowing 79.3 points per game and opponents shot an alarmingly high 52.6% from the field. Penn State has gone a respectable 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 at home. The Nittany Lions have also gone an impressive 3-0 SU&ATS in their previous 3 this season as a home underdog of 8.0 or less. Give me Penn State plus the small number. |

Auburn @ Arkansas 7:00 PM ET Game# 623-624 Play On: Arkansas +2.5 (10*) They’re begging you to take the #1 Auburn Tigers as a short favorite over an unranked team. Since being ranked #1 for the first time in school history 2 weeks ago, Auburn has played 2 road games and turned in uninspiring performances against arguably the 2 worst SEC teams. They escaped with narrow wins by 1 at Missouri and by 2 versus Georgia. Conversely, this is a red-hot Arkansas team that’s riding an 8-game win streak and they covered on 7 of those occasions. The Razorbacks are also 13-1 at home this season. Give me Arkansas plus the small number for a Top Play wager. |

Kansas @ Texas 9:00 PM ET Game# 907-908 Play On: Texas +1.5 (5*) Kansas is coming off Saturday’s huge 83-59 home win over #10 Baylor. Now just 2 days later they have to travel to Austin, Texas to take on the #20 Longhorns. It’s only human nature that Kansas won’t be able to match the emotional intensity and sharpness they displayed versus the defending national champion Baylor Bears. The Jayhawks will be taking on a Texas team which has gone 14-1 SU at home this season while allowing a paltry 48.9 points per game. Texas has 4 returning starters from a team that swept Kansas last season and held them to only 34.1% shooting in those 2 contests. Texas is coming off Saturday’s 63-41 home blowout win over #21 Iowa State. |

Oregon @ Utah 8:30 PM ET Game# 807-808 Play On: Oregon -3.5 (5*) I very seldom go with a road favorite on the huge Saturday college basketball cards. However, this is one of those exceptions to the rule. Don’t be deceived by the 25-point home win by Utah over Oregon State on Thursday night. The Beavers are a terrible team. As a matter of fact, that victory snapped a Utah 10-game losing streak. On the other hand, is a red-hot Oregon team which has won 8 of its last 9 which includes an unscathed 4-0 on the road. Oregon is an unbeaten 8-0 in their last 8 games versus Utah. Bet Oregon minus the points. |

02-05-22 | Kentucky v. Alabama +1.5 | Top | 66-55 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 32 m | Show |
Kentucky @ Alabama 8:00 PM ET Game# 791-792 Play On: Alabama +1.5 (10*) The one thing that’s been consistent for Alabama this season has been their inconsistency. The Crimson Tide is coming off a resounding 100-81 road loss at #1 Auburn. That defeat dropped the Crimson Tide’s season record to 14-8. They have also suffered puzzling losses to Iona, Davidson, at Georgia as a 14.5-point favorite, and at Missouri as a 14.0-point chalk. Nonetheless, there are many positives. Alabama has posted wins over #2 Gonzaga, #6 Houston, #8 Baylor, #22 Tennessee, and #25 LSU. So, it’s unlikely they’ll be intimidated by taking on #4 Kentucky at home where Alabama has gone 10-1 SU. Their lone home defeat was by a narrow 3-point margin against top ranked Auburn. Give me Alabama plus the small number for a 10* Top Play wager. |

02-05-22 | Baylor v. Kansas -2 | 59-83 | Win | 100 | 19 h 38 m | Show | |
Baylor @ Kansas 4:00 PM ET Game# 693-694 Play On: Kansas -2.0 (5*) The last time Kansas played at home was last Saturday when they were thoroughly embarrassed in an 18-point loss to #4 Kentucky. To their credit, the Jayhawks bounced back with a quality road win by 9 at Iowa State earlier this week. Speaking of last Saturday, #8 Baylor was upset by unranked Alabama. Kansas has lost back-to-back home games just once since 1990 and that occurred in December, of 2017 with both coming against non-conference opponents. The #10 Jayhawks learned a valuable lesson last week and they’ll be ready to bring their “A Game” to this one. Bet Kansas minus the points. |

02-05-22 | Tulsa v. Temple -3.5 | 58-67 | Win | 100 | 17 h 42 m | Show | |
Tulane @ Temple 2:00 PM ET Game# 663-664 Play On: Temple -3.5 (5*) These are two teams headed in opposite directions. After a terrible start to their season, Temple has seeming righted the ship. The Owls have gone a stellar 5-1 in their last 6 games. Conversely, this is a Tulane team which has been atrocious in true road games this season while going 0-6 and losing by an average of 21.7 points per contests. These teams met at Tulane earlier this season at Tulane and Temple walked away with a 69-64 win as a 3.0-point underdog. It has always been pretty for Temple, but in 8 American Athletic Conference contests they’ve held their opponents to only a combined 38.4% shooting and a miserable 26.7% from 3-point territory. Give me Temple minus the points. |

02-05-22 | Tennessee v. South Carolina +7 | 81-57 | Loss | -107 | 16 h 43 m | Show | |
Tennessee @ South Carolina 1:00 PM ET Game# 625-626 Play On: South Carolina +7.0 (5*) South Carolina is far from a great team. Nevertheless, the Gamecocks are a respectable 13-8 overall and 4-5 in the extremely tough SEC. They will be facing a #22 ranked Tennessee team that’s gone a dismal 1-4 SU during its previous 5 true road games. South Carolina will also enter this matchup with momentum after winning 3 of its previous 4 games. Give me South Carolina plus the points. |

02-04-22 | San Diego State v. Colorado State -3 | 57-58 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
San Diego State @ Colorado State 9:00 PM ET Game# 891-892 Play On: Colorado State -3.0 (5*) Think about this. San Diego State defeated Colorado State at home earlies this season in a 79-49 rout. Yet, the Aztecs are an underdog in the rematch versus an opponent who lost their last 2. The perceived obvious bet would seemingly be San Diego State, correct? I can only speak for myself when saying this line reeks of deception and perceived public perception. Colorado State is 10-1 SU at home this season and outscored opponents by 13.3 points per game. Since the start of last season, the Rams are 7-1 SU at home when playing with same season revenge stemming from a road loss. Colorado State is also 8-2 SU this season versus opponents with a winning record. Considering the small number, we’re being asked to cover, those previous mentioned SU results are pertinent. Bet Colorado State minus the points. |

Atlanta @ Toronto 7:40 PM ET Game# 517-518 Play On: Toronto -3.0 (10*) I’m sure that public bettors will be enticed to take Atlanta after watching them defeat Phoenix 124-116 last night in a game they closed as a 3.0-point underdog. Toronto also played last night, and they defeated Chicago 127-120 at home. Here’s the thing, Toronto is 7-2 SU and 6-3 ATS this season when playing with no rest, and Atlanta is 3-6 SU&ATS in that role. Toronto enters today on a 4-0 SU&ATS run in their last 4. The Raptors currently have a season record of 27-23. Conversely, Atlanta is a poor 9-17 SU this season when facing an opponent with a winning record. Since the start of last season, the Hawks are a dismal 1-6 SU on the road following a home underdog SU win. Give me Toronto minus the points for a Top Play wager. |

Oakland @ Northern Kentucky7:00 PM ET Game# 899-900 Play On: Northern Kentucky +3.5 (5*) Oakland has proven to be the class of the Horizon Conference up to this point. However, don’t expect Northern Kentucky to roll over on their home floor. Since the start of last season, Northern Kentucky is a perfect 6-0 ATS as a home underdog while outscoring opponents by 3.0 points per game. Here’s something that really stood out to me when handicapping this contest. Throughout their previous 5 contests, Oakland has averaged a robust 81.4 points per game. Nonetheless, they only made 41.8% of their field goal attempts, and converted just 30.1% of its 3-point shots. These are uneven offensive numbers that required further research. The caveat being, Oakland averaged 28 free throw attempts per game and made a sensational 85.5% of those. Conversely, during their previous 5 games, Northern Kentucky has limited its opponents to a mere 7 free throw attempts per contest. Give me Northern Kentucky plus the points. |

02-02-22 | Wisconsin v. Illinois -6.5 | 67-80 | Win | 100 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
Wisconsin @ Illinois 9:00 PM ET Game# 711-712 Play On: Illinois -6.5 (10*) This line makes little sense since Illinois is the lower ranked team at #19 and they’re favorite by a sizable margin against #11 Wisconsin. Additionally, the Badgers are an impressive 5-1 in true road games. Although, if you look inside the numbers, Illinois is a Top 10 caliber team when their star center Kofi Cockburn is available which is the case tonight. Additionally, another key play returns tonight in Andre Curbelo who had been sidelined recently due to COVID protocols. The Illini are 9-2 at home this season and their lone defeats came by 3 versus #7 Arizona and by 4 to #4 Purdue. This point-spread appears to be a trap to take the underdog. We aren’t falling for it. Bet Illinois minus the points for a Top Play wager. |

Charlotte @ Boston 7:40 PM ET Game# 561-562 Play On: Charlotte +6.5 (5*) Charlotte will be facing a Boston team today with a season record of 27-25 (.519). The Hornets are 9-0 ATS this season when facing opponents with a win percentage of .510 to .600 and they won 7 of those contests straight up. The Hornets have gone 4-1 SU&ATS in their last 5 away games. Conversely, Boston has allowed 97 and 92 points in their last 2 games. Since the start of last season, the Celtics have gone an abysmal 2-13 SU following 2 consecutive games in which they allowed 105 points or less. Lastly, Charlotte will be playing in its 2nd game in 5 days while Boston will be playing their 4th in 6 days. Rest advantage lies with the Hornets. Bet Charlotte plus the points. |

02-01-22 | Texas v. Texas Tech -4 | 64-77 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
Texas @ Texas Tech 9:00 PM ET Game# 641-642 Play On: Texas Tech -4.0 (5*) We had Texas Tech on Saturday and they rewarded us with a 76-50 blowout win over a good Mississippi State team. That makes the Red Raiders 13-0 at home this season and 16-0 in their last 16 contests played in Lubbock dating back to last season. Texas tried everything they could to blow an 18-point lead with 10 minutes to play during a 1-point home win over Tennessee. It was especially puzzling considering how well the Longhorns play defense and that they play at a slow offensive tempo. I look for that poor finish to carry over into this contest. Bet Texas Tech minus the points. |

02-01-22 | Davidson v. St Bonaventure -2.5 | 81-76 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 59 m | Show | |
Davidson @ St. Bonaventure 7:00 PM ET Game# 611-612 Play On: St. Bonaventure -2.5 (5*) There were lofty expectations for this St. Bonaventure team before the season began. As a matter of fact, when the first AP Top 25 Poll came out, they were ranked #16 and while being a clear-cut favorite to win the Atlantic 10 Conference. However, despite a solid 12-5 season record which includes 4-2 in conference action, a strong case can be made that they’ve underachieved thus far. Here’s a golden opportunity for the veteran laden Bonnies to come up with a statement game against a 17-3 Davidson team who had a short-lived stay in the Top 25 last week until suffering a home loss to VCU. That’s the same VCU team that the Bonnies walloped 73-53 at home a little over two weeks ago. Bet St. Bonaventure minus the small number. |

Creighton @ Connecticut 6:30 PM ET Game# 603-604 Play On: Connecticut -10.0 (5*) Creighton is coming off 2 straight poor performances during double-digit losses at home to Xavier and at Butler. The Bluejays are also 0-3 SU in their last 3 conference road games and with a substantial losing margin of 19.3 points per contest. Conversely, #17 UConn enters this matchup riding a 5-game win streak with an average victory margin of 14.2 points per contest. The Huskies will also be out to atone for going 0-3 versus Creighton a season ago which included a 59-56 defeat in the Big East Tournament. This is an extremely heavy number which will entice many college basketball bettors to bet the underdog. I won’t be one of those participants. Give me Connecticut minus the points. |

Duke @ Notre Dame 7:00 PM ET Game# 883-884 Play On: Notre Dame +5.5 (5*) Notre Dame which has won 10 of their last 11 and is currently on a 4-game unbeaten streak will welcome the challenge of hosting #9 Duke. The Fighting Irish are not stranger to being a home underdog this season as they’ve been in that role twice already and fared well on both occasions. They defeated #4 Kentucky as a 4.5-points underdog and North Carolina as a 1.5-point dog. As a matter of fact, the Fighting Irish are a perfect 9-0 at home this season with an average victory margin of 11.7 points per game. Despite their outstanding 17-3 season record, Duke is just 2-2 SU in true road games, and 2 of their 3 defeats came versus unranked opponents. Bet Notre Dame plus the points for a Top Play wager. |

Cincinnati @ Kansas City 3:05 PM ET Game# 321-322 Play On: Cincinnati +7.5 (5*) Kansas City is coming off an emotionally draining 42-36 overtime win versus Buffalo last Sunday. The media has pretty much convinced numerous bettors that the AFC Championship Game versus an upstart Cincinnati team is merely a formality. Granted the Chiefs are 11-1 in their last 12 game. However, their lone loss came to these very same Bengals in a game Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow torched the suspect Kansas City secondary for 422 passing yards. If the Bengals defense steps up in this one, they’ll have an opportunity to pull off an upset. Otherwise, there’s an ample amount offensive firepower for Cincinnati to keep this game competitive and inside the number. Bet Cincinnati plus the points. |

Tennessee @ Texas 8:00 PM ET Game# 767-768 Play On: Texas -3.0 (5*) Tennessee is a perfect 11-0 at home this season. Nonetheless, they’re not at home in this one and the Volunteers have lost 5 times on a neutral floor or in a true road game. Texas is 12-1 at home this season and held their opponents to a paltry 49.3 points per game. The Longhorns need a signature win to catapult themselves back into the Top 25. This is the spot to do so. Keep in mind, it’s the unranked Longhorns who are favorite in this game over #18 Tennessee. The oddsmakers just aren’t that nice. Bet Texas minus the points. |

Mississippi State @ Texas Tech 6:00 PM ET Game# 733-734 Play On: Texas Tech -7.0 (10*) This isn’t a good matchup for Mississippi State. The Bulldogs are 0-3 in true road game this season and they allowed 80 or more points on each occasion. They’ll be facing a Texas Tech team that’s 12-0 at home with an average victory margin of 23.7 points per game. Additionally, the Red Raiders are holding their visiting opponents to a mere 57.7 points per game and 37.8% shooting from the field. Mississippi State has faced just 1 team this season that’s currently ranked in the Top 25 and it was an 8-point loss at Kentucky in their previous game. Conversely, Texas Tech has gone 4-4 this season versus ranked teams. Bet Texas Tech minus the points for a Top Play wager. |

Baylor @ Alabama 4:00 PM ET Game# 703-704 Play On: Alabama +3.5 (5*) #4 Baylor (18-2) seems to have things fixed after going through a mini-2-game losing streak. Since that time, they’ve won 3 straight including 2 on the road. However, I’m convinced they’ll be walking into a hornet’s nest on Saturday against unpredictable Alabama. Which Crimson Tide team will show up? The one that suffered losses to the likes of Iona, Davidson, Missouri, and Georgia. The latter 2 are arguably the worst teams in the SEC this season. Or will we witness the Alabama team that beat #2 Gonzaga, #7 Houston, #18 Tennessee, and #19 LSU. This seems to fit the motus operandi of Alabama who falls to lesser teams but steps up when playing the elite of college basketball. Bet Alabama plus the points. |

Virginia Tech @ Florida State 3:00 PM ET Game# 663-664 Play On: Florida State -2.0 (5*) Florida State will be in a sour mood after suffering a 75-61 upset loss at Georgia Tech in their previous contest. Despite that loss, the Seminoles are 8-2 in their last 10 and includes 4-0 at home. Virginia Tech is 0-3 SU&ATS in their last 3. The Hokies are also 1-5 SU&ATS in true road games.

Indiana @ Maryland 2:30 PM ET Game# 651-652 Play On: Maryland +1.5 (5*) Indiana has been great at home this season but not so much on the road. The Hoosiers are 1-4 SU and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 true road games and they’re only SU win came over the Big Ten’s worst team in Nebraska. On the other hand, Maryland is coming off a pair of momentum building wins over #24 Illinois and at Rutgers. The Terrapins have also won 6 consecutive game at home versus Indiana. Bet Maryland plus the small number. |

Conversely, Arkansas has won 5 straight with an average victory margin of 14.0 points per game. During their current win streak, Arkansas held opponents to 54.8 points per game and a combined 34.8% shooting. The Razorbacks are also a stellar 11-1 at home this season and they outscored the opposition by 17.5 points per game. Bet Arkansas minus the points. |

Denver @ New Orleans 8:10 PM ET Game# 591-592 Play On: New Orleans +4.5 (5*) Denver has gone just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 with all as a favorite and includes 0-4 ATS as a favorite of 3.0 or greater. During that span, the Nuggets allowed 116.8 points per game while opponents shot a combined 50.3% from the floor.

Akron @ Toledo 7:00 PM ET Game# 891-892 Play On: Toledo -7.0 (5*) Akron has gone 10-2 in their last 12 but they’ll be facing a sizzling hot Toledo Rockets team today. Toledo has gone an unscathed 7-0 SU&ATS in their last 7 with all coming versus conference opponents and there was an average victory margin of 16.7 points per game. Furthermore, the Rockets are 5-0 SU&ATS in their last 5 at home with a massive average victory margin of 22.8 points per game. Throughout their previous 5 contests Toledo has scored 84.4 points per game, shot 52.5% from the field, made 40.0% of its 3-point shot attempts, and knocked down an amazing 87.5% of their free throws. Bet Toledo minus the points. |

Purdue @ Iowa 9:00 PM ET Game# 823-824 Play On: Iowa +2.5 (5*) #6 Purdue enters this matchup with a stellar 16-3 record. However, the Boilermakers are just 2-2 SU in true road games with losses coming against unranked Indiana and #11 Wisconsin. Iowa has a stellar 11-1 home record and they covered in 8 of those 12 games. As a matter of fact, since the start of the 2019-2020 season, Iowa has gone 39-6 SU (.867) and 32-13 ATS (71.1%) at home. Throughout that 3-year stretch, the Hawkeyes have also gone 20-4 SU (.833) and 15-9 ATS (62.5%) during conference home games. Iowa will be playing with same season revenge stemming from a 77-70 loss at Purdue earlier this season, but they covered that contest easily as a 13.0-point underdog. Bet Iowa plus the points. |

Marquette @ Seton Hall 8:30 PM ET Game# 729-730 Play On: Seton Hall -5.5 (10*) Marquette is a red-hot 6-0 SU&ATS in their last 6 contests. That impressive winning run has catapulted them into the Top 25 for a first time this season at #22. Seton Hall spent most of this first half of the season as a Top 25 team. However, they just recently fell out of the Top 25 rankings and is coming off a terrible 20-point home loss to St. John’s on Monday. It’s redemption time for the Pirates tonight after losing by 1 at Marquette less than 2 weeks ago. It’s also time for a statement win after they’ve seemingly been sleep walking during recent losses. Bet Seton Hall minus the points for a Top Play wager. |

01-26-22 | Miami-FL v. Virginia Tech -4.5 | 78-75 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 20 m | Show | |
Miami @ Virginia Tech 7:00 PM ET Game# 707-708 Bet On: Virginia Tech -4.5 (5*) This opening and current line in this contest makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Miami has gone 10-2 SU in their last 12 games and both losses came versus Florida State with each by exactly a 1-point margin. Yet, here they are as an underdog versus a Virginia Tech team that’s 2-6 in conference play and is 5-9 during its last 14 games overall. It’s rarely that easy when it comes to sports betting. I am going with a contrarian approach in this one. Bet Virginia Tech minus the points. |

01-26-22 | Providence v. Xavier -7.5 | 65-62 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 51 m | Show | |
Providence @ Xavier 6:30 PM ET Game# 679-680 Play On: Xavier -7.5 (5*) This line caught my attention as soon as I saw it. We have #21 Xavier (14-4) as a sizable favorite versus #16 Providence (16-2). I have been saying for a couple of weeks now that Providence isn’t as good as their record or current national ranking indicates. The point-spread in this contest confirms that statement. All 4 of Xavier’s losses have come versus current nationally ranked teams but the only one that occurred at home was against #14 Villanova who has defeated them twice this season. Providence enters today having won their last 3 games and shot 50% or better in each contest. However, during 4 true road games this season, Providence has made just 34.7% of their field goal attempts. Bet Xavier minus the points. |

01-26-22 | Florida v. Tennessee -9 | 71-78 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 22 m | Show | |
Florida @ Tennessee 6:00 PM ET Game# 675-676 Play On: Tennessee -9.0 (5*) #18 Tennessee has been excellent at home this season while going 10-0 SU, 7-3 ATS, and with huge victory margin of 24.1 points per game. Among those home wins was victories over #3 Arizona and #19 LSU. Florida has gone a poor 1-3 SU&ATS in true road games this season. The Gators have allowed 4 of their last 6 opponents to shoot 50% or better. Additionally, they’ve shot less than 40% in 3 of its previous 5 contests. That’s not exactly a winning recipe when you mix the two together. Bet Tennessee minus the points. |

01-25-22 | Nevada v. Colorado State -8 | 66-77 | Win | 100 | 6 h 53 m | Show | |
Nevada @ Colorado State 9:00 PM ET Game# 659-660 Play On: Colorado State -8.0 (5*) Despite owning an outstanding 15-1 record, Colorado State is no longer ranked in the Top 25. That’s inclined to leave a huge chip on a team’s shoulder with regards to lack of respect. The Rams can make significant progress in that regard with a lopsided win tonight against a Nevada program who gradually increased their brand in recent seasons. The Wolfpack are coming off a 77-73 win over Fresno State in their previous game. However, Nevada is 0-3 SU&ATS in their last 3 following a win and lost by a substantial margin of 17.3 points per game. Bet Colorado State minus the points. |

01-25-22 | Auburn v. Missouri +13 | 55-54 | Win | 100 | 5 h 25 m | Show | |
Auburn @ Missouri 8:30 PM ET Game# 649-650 Play On: Missouri +13.0 (5*) Auburn is coming off a statement win over #12 Kentucky which puts them on 15-0 SU and 13-2 ATS run which includes covering each of its previous 8. As of Monday, Auburn was ranked #1 in the country for a first time in school history. Now they travel to take on one of the SEC bottom feeders in Missouri (8-10/2-4). With all being considered, this sets up to be a flat spot for Auburn. However, Missouri has steadily improved as the season has worn on including a home upset win as a 14.0-point underdog versus then nationally ranked Alabama. The Tigers are 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 at home. Missouri has also been offensively efficient over their last 5 while shooting 48.1% from the field, 37.7% from 3-point land, and 75.4% from the free throw line. Missouri is 3-0 in their last 3 which included a 25-point upset win over Ole Miss as a 7.5-point underdog. Bet Missouri plus the points. |

Kansas State @ Baylor 8:00 PM ET Game# 639-640 Play On: Play On: Kansas State +14.0 (5*) Despite winning their last 2, Baylor has struggled offensively over their last 4 while averaging a mere 64.3 points scored per game which includes shooting a poor 40.3% from the field. I have a difficult time even pondering laying a double-digit number on a team that’s been less than efficient in recent games. Furthermore, 2 of those 4 games resulted in straight up home double-digit favorite losses to Oklahoma State and Texas Tech. Baylor is 1-2 SU and 0-3 ATS in conference home games. Kansas State has gone 2-2 SU and 4-0 ATS in conference road games. Their 2 straight up losses were to West Virginia by 3 and Oklahoma by 2. The Wildcats are 3-1 ATS this season including 3 consecutive covers versus teams currently ranked in the AP Top 25. Give me Kansas State plus the points. |

Michigan State @ Illinois 7:00 PM ET Game# 619-620 Play On: Illinois -4.5 (10*) This line doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. We have #24 Illinois (13-5) who lost their last 2 games as a sizable favorite versus #10 Michigan State (15-3). Additionally, Michigan State is coming off a convincing upset win at #8 Wisconsin this past Friday which made them 3-0 SU&ATS this season in conference road games. Conversely, Illinois has suffered 2 home losses this season at the hands of #3 Arizona and #6 Purdue. It’s just rarely that easy. Give me Illinois minus the points. |

01-23-22 | Bills +2.5 v. Chiefs | Top | 36-42 | Loss | -110 | 49 h 10 m | Show |
Buffalo @ Kansas City 6:30 PM ET Game# 317-318 Play On: Buffalo +2.5 (10*) So, the Kansas City Chiefs are 10-1 in their last 11 games, the higher seed in this matchup, but they’re just a 1.5-point home favorite. The oddsmakers and early sharp money are huge indicators as to who the right side in this contest. The sportsbooks are begging you to take the red-hot Chiefs at this small of a number. Granted Kansas City has been exceptional in the 2nd half of the regular season and into the playoffs. However, Buffalo is currently on a 5-game win streak and held those opponents to 15.4 points and 237.2 yards per contest. By the way, the Chiefs have accumulated 378 yards or more of total offense in each of their previous 5 games. Nonetheless, Kansas City is just 3-3 SU and 1-5 ATS at home immediately following 4 straight games in which they had 375 yards or more of total offense. The Bills outgained New England by a massive margin of 177 yards during their 47-17 home blowout win last Saturday. Since the start of the 2019-202 season, Buffalo is 8-0 SU on the road following a game in which they outgained their opponent by 100 yards or more and had a decisive average victory margin of 18.4 points per contest. The Bills are one of just a few NFL teams that can match Kansas City’s offensive explosiveness. Bet Buffalo for a Top Play wager. |

01-23-22 | Rams v. Bucs -2.5 | 30-27 | Loss | -117 | 46 h 42 m | Show | |
LA Rams @ Tampa Bay 3:00 PM ET Game# 315-316 Play On: Tampa Bay -2.5 (5*) The Rams will receive plenty of public action as an underdog after bettors witnessed last Monday night’s dominating 34-11 win over Arizona. However, they’ll be facing the defending world champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers who are 8-1 SU and 7-2 ATS at home this season. The Bucs will also be playing with revenge stemming from 34-24 loss at Los Angeles in Week 3 action. Tampa Bay enters this Divisional Round matchup having won 8 of its last 9 games and covered on 6 of those occasions. Furthermore, the Bucs have gone 14-2 SU this season against all teams who are not named the New Orleans Saints, and that includes 8-0 SU and 7-1 ATS at home. At this time of year, winning the turnover battle is usually a precursor to who wins and covers. Tampa Bay has an inspiring turnover margin of +6 during their current 4-game win streak. Additionally, they committed only 1 turnover during that stretch. Conversely, the Rams have committed 11 turnovers in their last 5 away games. Bet Tampa Bay minus the small number. |

01-22-22 | Texas A&M v. Arkansas -8 | Top | 73-76 | Loss | -108 | 20 h 6 m | Show |
Texas A&M @ Arkansas 8;30 ET Game# 797-798 Play On: Arkansas -8.0 (10*) Arkansas rebounded from a recent 3-game losing streak by winning its previous 3 games and all in impressive fashion. One of those wins came by 7 on the road at #13 LSU in a game they closed as a 6.5-point underdog. Texas A&M is coming off a 64-58 home loss to Kentucky which halted their 8-game win streak. Despite that defeat, the Aggies still possess a sparkling 15-3 record and includes 4-1 in SEC action. Yet, they’re a sizable underdog versus an Arkansas squad that’s just 3-3 in SEC play and 13-5 overall. If there’s a trap game for college basketball bettors on Saturday’s enormous card this is the one. This line makes no sense to me and when that happens, I oppose what seems obvious. Bet Arkansas minus the points for a Top Play wager. |

01-22-22 | Bengals +3.5 v. Titans | Top | 19-16 | Win | 100 | 20 h 32 m | Show |
Cincinnati @ Tennessee 4:30 PM ET Game# 301-302 Play On: Cincinnati +3.5 (10*) Tennessee star running back Derrick Henry returns from injury after missing 9 games. However, it’s unlikely he will be given a heavy workload after that long hiatus. The Titans went only 4-3 SU in their last 7 games and included a home loss to lowly Houston. The Titans have allowed 280 yards or more passing 8 times this season. This has been an area of concern for 2 years now, and against a talented young quarterback (Joe Burrow) and group of receivers that Cincinnati possesses, there’s a good chance they’ll be further exposed. Cincinnati has gone 5-2 SU this season versus teams that made the playoffs, and their lone 2 losses came in overtime against Green Bay and San Francisco. Give me Cincinnati plus the points for a Top Play wager. |

01-22-22 | Baylor v. Oklahoma +3.5 | 65-51 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 18 m | Show | |
Baylor @ Oklahoma 3:00 PM ET Game# 679-680 Play On: Oklahoma +3.5 (5*) Since the start of last season, Oklahoma has gone a perfect 6-0 ATS as a home underdog and outscored those favorites by an average of 6.0 points per game. Oklahoma does enter on a 3-game losing streak, but 2 of those defeats came by a combined 4 points. The Sooners will be playing with revenge from a 10-point loss at Baylor just a little over 2 weeks ago. However, that game was much closer than the score may indicate as it was just a 4-point game with less than 2 minutes left. Despite their current funk, Oklahoma is still a more than respectable 12-6. Baylor broke their 2-game losing streak with a 9-point win over a mediocre at best West Virginia team. The Bears haven’t shot the ball well in recent games and Oklahoma is a better than advertised defensive team. Bet Oklahoma plus the points. |

Florida State @ Miami 2:00 PM ET Game# 645-646 Play On: Miami -2.5 (5*) Miami has gone a red-hot 10-1 in their last 11 games. Their lone loss came by 1 at Florida State. The Hurricanes were fantastic their last time out in a 28-point blowout win over North Carolina. Florida State is on a 5-game win streak which included a huge upset win over #6 Duke earlier this week. The home court advantage and the inexperience of Florida State will be key factors in us easily attaining a cover. Bet Miami minus the small number. |

Kentucky @ Auburn 1:00 PM ET Game# 631-632 Play On: Kentucky +3.5 (5*) #2 Auburn is 17-1 and their only loss came in triple overtime on a neutral floor versus #25 Connecticut. As a matter of fact, since that UConn loss the Tigers have won 14 consecutive games and covered on 12 of those occasions. Auburn is also a dominating 9-0 SU and 8-1 ATS at home this season with substantial victory margin of 19.9 points per game. Yet, they find themselves as a short favorite versus #12 Kentucky. Since losing to Duke at Madison Square Garden in their season opener, Kentucky has won 15 of their last 17 games. The Wildcats are coming off a 64-58 win at Texas A&M which ended a 10-game Aggies winning streak. The Wildcats have been strong defensively this season, and that will be the determining factor in us cover this contest. Bet Kentucky plus the points. |

They’ve won 7 consecutive games and covered each of their previous 5. However, they’ll be in for their toughest test to date versus a terrific Michigan State team that’s coming off a home upset loss to Northwestern. The Spartans are 2-0 SU&ATS this season following a loss while winning by 26.5 points per game. Michigan State is also an unscathed 3-0 SU&ATS in true road games this season with their average point-spread being -6.3 and an average victory margin of 11.7.

Toledo @ Ohio 6:00 PM ET Game# 871-872 Play On: Ohio -4.0 (5*) Toledo enters this contest riding a 5-game win streak. Conversely, Ohio has strung together 9 consecutive wins in a row. Any college basketball home favorite of 3.5 to 9.5-points (Ohio) that’s coming 7 or more wins in a row, and they’re facing an opponent (Toledo) coming off 4 or more wins in a row, resulted in those home favorites going 27-3 ATS (90%) since the start of the 2017-2018 season. The average line in those 30 contests was 6.3 and the favorites outscored those underdogs by an average of 12.5 points per game. Additionally, Ohio is a perfect 8-0 at home this season with an average victory margin of 11.4 points per game. Bet Ohio minus the points. |

However, tonight will be a finale of a 5-game in 10-day road trip for the Suns in which they’ve already gone 4-0 SU and 3-0-1 ATS. The point being, it’s already been a successful trip for Phoenix and they’re vulnerable to a flat spot this evening The Dallas Mavericks are on a red-hot 10-1 SU run and that includes a current 4-game win streak in which they allowed 102 points or fewer on each occasion. They have also won 6 consecutive home games. This will be the Mavericks 4th straight game played at home. These teams last met on 11/19/21, and Phoenix walked away with a 112-104 home win. Dallas has gone an unscathed 7-0 ATS when playing with same season revenge. Bet Dallas plus the points for a Top Play wager. |

Alabama has gone 0-3 SU&ATS in their last 3 and fell out of the Top 25 for a first time this season. Yet, they opened as a 2.5-point favorite and is now -4.0 against #13 LSU. Speaking of LSU, they’re coming off a listless performance during a 7-point upset home loss to unranked Arkansas. I’m looking for Alabama to bounce back in a huge way in this matchup.

Duke @ Florida State 9:00 PM ET Game# 659-660 Play On: Florida State +5.5 (5*) This is one of Leonard Hamilton’s youngest teams since taking over at Florida State. However, they have shown vast improvement as the season has progressed and enter today on a 3-game win streak. Furthermore, the Seminoles are a dominating 41-2 SU in their last 43 at home which also includes 27-1 SU in ACC action. This will be only Duke’s 3rd true road game of the season, and they went just 1-1 SU in the previous 2. I wouldn’t be shocked to see an outright upset tonight in Tallahassee, but I won’t get greedy and take the points. Bet Florida State plus the points. |

Iowa State @ Texas Tech 9:00 PM ET Game# 655-656 Play On: Texas Tech -7.5 (5*) Texas Tech will be in a sour mood after suffering a 62-51 upset loss at Kansas State in their previous game. The Kansas State loss ended a 3-0 SU&ATS run for the Red Raiders which included wins over #5 Baylor and #6 Kansas. Additionally, Texas Tech has gone a perfect 10-0 at home this season while outscoring their opponents by a massive average of 26.0 points per game. The Red Raiders will be out to revenge a 4-point road loss to Iowa State earlier this season. Speaking of Iowa State, they’re just 2-3 in Big 12 Conference play after going 12-0 in the non-conference portion of their schedule. Lastly, this current line tells me all I need to know when considering the lower ranked team in #18 Texas Tech is such a sizable favorite versus #15 Iowa State. The sportsbooks are attempting to lure you into taking the underdog. My reply to them is no thnk you. Give me Texas Tech minus the points. |

Kansas @ Oklahoma 7:00 PM ET Game# 631-632 Play On: Oklahoma +4.0 (10*) Oklahoma has lost 3 of their last 4 but all those defeats came on the road. The Sooners are 9-1 at home this season. I really like this Sooners team and think they’re much better than their 12-5 record indicates. Former Loyola-Chicago head coach Porter Moser was a great hire by Oklahoma, and he’s been involved in several high-pressured NCAA Tournament games and was quite successful in those games at his previous stop with a majority coming as an underdog. Kansas is just 1-1 in true road games this season and is coming off a narrow 1-point win over Iowa State in a contest they were a sizable 12.5-point favorite.

However, Arizona was a terrific 8-1 SU&ATS on the road this season and that includes 6-0 SU&ATS as an underdog. It’s not like they feasted on a bunch of creampuffs. The Cardinals defeated 4 teams that qualified for the playoffs on the road in Dallas, LA Rams, Tennessee, and San Francisco. Conversely, the Rams went just 5-3 SU and 4-4 ATS at home this season. Furthermore, Los Angeles was a dismal 0-3 SU&ATS in their last 3 at home versus teams that finished regular season action with a winning record. The road teams won and covered both games between these division rivals this season. Bet Arizona plus the points. |

Miami is a solid 13-5 at home this season and that includes 7-1 in their last 8. The Heat will be facing a Toronto team that will be playing their 3rd road game in 4 days. Yet, they come up as just a small favorite versus an opponent that they are 4.5 games ahead of in the Eastern Conference standings. You would think that the Heat are an obvious pick at home tonight versus Toronto, right? Nevertheless, it’s rarely that easy when it comes to sports betting. The sportsbooks are begging you to take the perceived better team at home and especially when laying such a small number. By the way, Toronto has won 7 of its last 9 games overall. The Raptors are also an extremely profitable 8-2 ATS this season as a conference road underdog of 7.0 or less, and they won 7 of those 10 away games straight up. |

Pittsburgh @ Kansas City 8:15 PM ET Game# 143-144 Play On: Kansas City -12.5 (5*) These teams just met in Kansas City just 3 weeks ago and the Chiefs walked away with a 36-10 blowout win. I look for more of the same on Sunday night. Additionally, the Chiefs are 4-0 SU&ATS in their last 4 at home with an average victory margin of 22.0 points per game. Conversely, Pittsburgh is 0-3 SU&ATS in their last 3 non-division contest and were outscored by 21.7 points per game. Bet on Kansas City minus the points. By the way, NFL postseason home favorites of 10.5 or more have gone 9-0 SU&ATS since 2011 and outscored their opponents by an average of 18.7 points per game. |

San Francisco @ Dallas 4:30 PM ET Game# 147-148 Play On: San Francisco +3.0 (10*) Dallas (13-5) is the NFC East champion and finished the regular season going 5-1 SU&ATS in their final 6 regular season contests. Yet, they opened and remain just a 3.0-point favorite versus an opponent that needed to overcome a 17-3 halftime deficit in their final regular season game just to qualify for the postseason. Since 2019, Dallas has gone 4-11 SU and 3-12 ATS when their point-spread is +3.0 to -3.0. The 49ers have been chasing the Rams and Cardinals all season when it comes to the NFC West standing and it became clear their only path to the postseason was a wildcard berth. So, they’ve been in win or go home mode over the final few weeks of regular season action. I look for that to pay dividends in this contest. Furthermore, the 49ers have been better on the road than at home this season. San Francisco is 7-2 SU in away games. Since the 2019-2020 season began, the 49ers are 4-1 SU&ATS in away games when their point-spread was +3.0 to -3.0. Bet the 49ers plus the points for a Top Play wager. |

Philadelphia @ Tampa Bay 1:00 PM ET Game# 145-146 Play On: Philadelphia +10.0 (5*) I was quite surprised when Tampa Bay opened as just an 8.5-point favorite in this game. My personal power numbers which are usually accurate had Tampa Bay as a 10.5-point chalk. Having said that, you would think I would be all over the Bucs but quite the contrary. Like I’ve said may times over the years, I don’t fear the oddsmakers but genuinely respect their ability to set an accurate line. So, my conclusion is this is a fishy line, and the sportsbooks are begging you to take the defending world champion Bucs versus a Philadelphia team which is 9-8 and failed to beat a team all season that finished with a winning record. Bet Philadelphia plus the points. |

01-15-22 | Patriots v. Bills -4.5 | Top | 17-47 | Win | 100 | 24 h 29 m | Show |
New England @ Buffalo 8:15 PM ET Game# 143-144 Play On: Buffalo -4.5 (10*) Buffalo has scored 27 points or more in each of their last 5 games. Since Sean McDermott has taken over as head coach in Buffalo, the Bills are an unbeaten 10-0 SU and 8-1-1 ATS at home after scoring 25 points or more in each of their previous 2 games. Since 2009, Wildcard Round teams that win straight up have gone 47-8 ATS (85.4%). Do you see where I am going with this? I hope so. Since Bill Belichick took over as head coach in New England, his Patriots team have gone 36-8 versus Buffalo. However, since the start of last season which coincides with the departure of Tom Brady, New England is 1-3 SU&ATS versus Buffalo. Furthermore, heading into Week 15 of this season, New England held a comfortable 2.0 game lead over Buffalo in the AFC East standings. Then they lost 3 of their last 4 while Buffalo put together a 4-game win streak. One of those defeats was a 33-21 home setback to Buffalo in a game they were outgained 448-288. They will be playing against a Buffalo defense that’s allowed 15 points or fewer and 275 yards or less in each of their last 4 at home. Many people will jump all over a Bill Belichick coached New England team as a playoff underdog. I’m not one of them. Give me Buffalo minus the points for a Top Play wager. |

Las Vegas @ Cincinnati 4:30 PM ET Game# 141-142 Bet On: Las Vegas +6.0 (5*) This is an extremely young and talented Cincinnati team which is way ahead of schedule. Nevertheless, they’ll ne to shake the ghosts of past franchise playoff failures. Cincinnati has lost 8 consecutive playoff games, failed to cover in 7 of those contests, and with 4 of those contests played at home. The Raiders were hanging on by a thread of hope a 5 weeks ago with a 6-7 record with regards to their playoff aspirations. Then they miraculously went on a 4-game win streak and got some help along the way to reach postseason action. They will also be out to avenge a deceiving 32-13 home loss to Cincinnati earlier this season in a contest they were only outgained 288-278. Bet Las Vegas plus the points. |
