02-06-21 | Alabama v. Missouri +3 | 65-68 | Win | 100 | 1 h 8 m | Show | |
Alabama at Missouri 12:00 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- Alabama is one of the hottest 'shooting' teams in the country and they showed it during their 10 game win streak before falling at Oklahoma in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge. The Tide were able to bounce back with a conference win over LSU to bring their SEC record to 10-0 but now have a Missouri team with plenty of talent and a two-game win streak and are now 7-1 SU at home. I just don't believe that any SEC will go undefeated in conference play and this should be 'Bama's Waterloo! Take MISSOURI! |

02-05-21 | Maryland +2.5 v. Penn State | 50-55 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
Maryland at Penn State 7:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Nittany Lions- Maryland is coming off a tough stretch playing six ranked teams in their last seven games and managing to split 3-3 while defeating Wingate in the middle and last out they came from behind to beat Purdue 61-60 in a non-cover victory. Penn State meanwhile has been very inconsistent splitting their last six overall and losing at Wisconsin last time out. Trends also split out as the underdog is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings but, the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. The Lions have won their home games SU failing to cover the one time that were favored as they are now. It's MARYLAND! |

02-04-21 | Minnesota +5.5 v. Rutgers | 72-76 | Win | 100 | 9 h 6 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Rutgers 9:00 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Scarlet Knights- Both these Big Ten schools had great starts to the season and were ranked in the Top-25 but both have fallen as the season progressed. Rutgers dropped to 7-6 at one time but have now won three straight and host Minnesota who was also ranked but has yet to win or cover (0-5) any of their road road games. The Gophers are 8-4 lifetime against Rutgers but have dropped 3-of-4 in New Jersey. The favorites is actually 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings but tonight the dog gets the money. Take MINNESOTA! |

02-04-21 | Ohio State +6 v. Iowa | 89-85 | Win | 100 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
Ohio State at Iowa 7:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Hawkeyes- Both of these Big Ten squads are ranked in the Top-10 with Ohio State having won three straight and 6-of-7 while Iowa just defeated Michigan State 84-78 Tuesday ending a short 2-game slide. The Hawkeyes have one of the best big men in college basketball with Luke Garza who averages 26.5-points and 8.8 rebound per game.Iowa is 10-1 at home and the home club has 'covered' the last four meetings but OSU is 4-1 ATS as road underdogs. The Buckeyes have their 'mojo' together and will scrap and claw until the final buzzer. Take OHIO STATE! |

02-04-21 | Arizona v. Utah +1.5 | Top | 58-73 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show |
Arizona at Utah 7:00 ET Utes (+) over Wildcats- This Pac-12 contest pits a pair of squads that in past years would have a top-25 ranking with Arizona always a contender bidding to get to the Final-4 or at least the Sweet-16 but this year they are a step below. Utah has also had some clubs that were on the verge of breaking through and made it to the Sweet-16 but again a middle-of-the-road this season. This is year is a bit different as Sean Millers' club is good enough to make the tournament but will have difficulty. The Wildcats are 2-5 ATS both as favorites and on the road while the Utes are just 4-10 ATS as home underdogs. Things change here. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
02-03-21 | Oklahoma State v. TCU +5 | 78-81 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State at T.C.U. 9:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Cowboys- Oklahoma State is coming off a huge 81-77 home win over Arkansas in the SEC/Big-12 Challenge and have won 4-of-5 with their lone loss coming against Baylor. TCU meanwhile was blowing a 12-point lead with five minutes to go against Missouri losing their fifth straight. The Horned Frogs were 7-2 at one point with one of those wins was at Oklahoma State 77-76 as the Cowboys blew an eight-point lead with two minutes to go. OSU is just 2-5-1 ATS after a SU wi and TCU is 7-3 ATS as underdogs in their last 10. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |

02-03-21 | Virginia Tech v. Pittsburgh +4.5 | Top | 72-83 | Win | 100 | 8 h 3 m | Show |
Virginia Tech at Pittsburgh 7:00 ET Panthers (+) over Hokies- I love this match-up as it pits a pair of winners from their last betting opportunity and 'we' took advantage of both last time and will combine it here. Virginia Tech was a huge winner for us Saturday over rival No. 8 Virginia 65-51 and now head to Pittsburgh where the Panthers fell to our 'Highest-Rated' Megabucks winner Notre Dame 84-58 their worst loss of the season. I expect both teams to move toward the center after both good and bad performances and that should present us a more competitive game. Take PITTSBURGH! |

02-03-21 | LSU +8.5 v. Alabama | 60-78 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
L.S.U at Alabama 7:00 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- No. 7 Alabama had their incredible 10-game winning streak stopped Saturday at Oklahoma 66-61 but in their streak two weeks ago they ate the Tigers on their court 105-75 setting an SEC record with 23 3-points shots made. LSU fought hard Saturday against Texas Tech leading by 6-points but failed to scored in the fain l five minutes to fall 76-71. This the Tigers will play a pressure defense and the Tide will be ebbing after their loss. Take L.S.U. |

02-02-21 | Mississippi State +8 v. Arkansas | 45-61 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
Mississippi State at Arkansas 9:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Razorbacks- After three straight conference losses Mississippi State busted into the win column by routing Iowa State 95-56 for their third straight cover and highest scoring game of the season. Arkansas has been a good scoring team 84ppg but a bit streaky winning or losing two or three games at a time. The Razorbacks have been great at home and are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 home games and the host is 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings. But the Bulldogs are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games against teams with a winning percentage about 600. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

02-02-21 | Michigan State +9.5 v. Iowa | 78-84 | Win | 100 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
Michigan State at Iowa 7:00 ET Spartans (+) over Hawkeyes- What has happened to the Spartans...once a Top-5 team they are now just 8-6 and have lost three in a row and it hasn't been pretty going 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Iowa who has troubles of their own have dropped their last two but are happy to greet State as they are 20-4-2 ATS in their last 26 home games and they are 15-1 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS loss. MSU coach Tom Izzo said it's a matter of confidence, let a couple of shots drop and it all comes back...hope so tonight. Take MICHIGAN STATE! |
|||||||
02-02-21 | Baylor v. Texas +5.5 | 83-69 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
Baylor at Texas 7:00 ET Longhorns (+) over Bears- The Big-12 is now the premier conference in college basketball (check it out) as they will showcase No. 2 and undefeated Baylor (16-0, 8-0) at No. 5 Texas. The Longhorns have dropped 2-of-3 and have lost three games at home all to ranked teams. The Bears have been a great take on the road under Scott Drew going 43-20-1 ATS on the road the past four seasons. Texas has been a 'go-against' at home and are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games as hosts. Still, the call here is TEXAS! |
|||||||
02-02-21 | Tennessee v. Ole Miss +4 | Top | 50-52 | Win | 100 | 7 h 47 m | Show |
Tennessee at Mississippi 7:00 ET Rebels (+) over Volunteers- A few days ago Tennessee was ranked as high as No. 10 and after losing 2-of-3 they are as low as No. 18 in some places. The Volunteers just destroyed Kansas on Saturday 80-61 and were never threatened and they out rebounded the Jayhawks 38-23. Mississippi is off a pair of SEC road losses at Arkansas and Georgia the second of which irritated Rebels coach Kermit Davis to call out his club for lack of hustle down the stretch. The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the Volunteers are 1-5 ATS against teams with winning records. Take MISSISSIPPI! |
|||||||
02-01-21 | Oklahoma v. Texas Tech -6 | Top | 52-57 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 37 m | Show |
Oklahoma at Texas Tech 9:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Sooners- Too quick, too fast and too soon and I'm not talking about style of play or performances I'm referring to the time between an upset win at home by the Sooners who ow move into into a foreign environment (Big-12 /SEC Challenge) as it makes for usual matchups. Saturday, Oklahoma hosted the SEC's hottest squad as Alabama has won 10-straight while the home Sooners were to be without leading scorer, assist man and rebounder All Big-12 Austin Reaves and of course they out-played the 'Ebbing' Tide winning 66-61. Now, Tech won on the road at LSU and managed to 'cover' although they didn't play all that well. They return home ready to pounce on a Sooners club that will come out of the clouds about halftime but by then it will be too late. Take TEXAS TECH! |

Iowa at Illinois (9:00) Illini (+) over Hawkeyes- This Big Ten contest is a one of the unique matchups of the NCAA season as it goes retro and pits a rarity in today's games as a pair of back-to-the-basket centers. No. 7 Iowa features 6-11, 265-pound Luke Garza and he will up against No. 19 Illinois center 7-foot, 285 pound Kofi Cockburn. Illinois just ended 2-game skid with a win over Penn State 10-days ago while Iowa who hasn't played in eight days and is off a home loss to Indiana and are 18-39-2 ATS on the road games against winning teams.

Michigan State at Rutgers 7:00 ET Scarlet Knights (-) over Spartans- When these two last met on January 5 both were ranked and Michigan State won easily 68-45. But, the virus has had an impact on the Spartans as this is just their second game since their first meeting and and their first outing in 20 days. MSU has struggled this season and are 1-8 ATS in their last nine games overall and are 4-9 ATS in 13 road games against teams with winning records.

Mississippi at Arkansas 8:30 ET Rebels (+) over Razorbacks- Strong contrast in styles in their matchup as Arkansas posts one of the highest scoring offenses in the SEC while Mississippi used a tough defense that held their last two opponents Mississippi State and Texas A&M to 46 and 50 points respectively in those games. The Razorbacks are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 home games as favorites but the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take MISSISSIPPI! |

Marquette at Providence 7:00 ET Golden Eagles (+) over Friars- This Big East meeting pits mirror like clubs that possess the same overall and conference record (8-7, 4-5). Marquette won the first meeting 79-69 in Milwaukee on January 12 but have played only two games since splitting a pair of games but are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games overall. Providence just doesn't respond well to losses as they are just 5-14 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take MARQUETTE! |

Ohio State is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 home games and 13-5 ATS as favorites and have four four of five including their upset win at Wisconsin Saturday. I expect a bit of a letdown here after that win. Take PENN STATE! |

Michigan at Purdue 7:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Wolverines- Michigan started the season with 11 straight wins before getting thrashed at Minnesota 75-57 but managed to rebound with a strong winning performance over Maryland 87-63. Coach Juwan Howard says that the win was a big bounce-back game and I wonder if they will have to same motivation on the road against Purdue who is on a four-game winning streak. But, the Wolves are 6-2 ATS in their last eight away games and are an impressive 36-17-1 ATS in their last 54 games as favorites but the underdog is 6-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Add that Purdue is 6-2-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Take PURDUE! |

01-21-21 | Wichita State v. Memphis -2.5 | 52-72 | Win | 100 | 16 h 10 m | Show | |
Wichita State at Memphis 7:00 ET Tigers (-) over Shockers- Usually when I post a game I've had a first impression of the line and matchup and have an immediate opinion one way or another. So, it is unusual for me to come up with a side in a game that I had no original interest and this caught my eye late but that doesn't diminish its value. Memphis is coming off an upset home loss to Tulsa (58-57) and will have their heads on straight for this 8-3 Shockers team that beat Tulsa 72-53 last time out but they will leave Tennessee in shock! Take MEMPHIS |

Penn State at Illinois 8:30 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Illini- Right now Illinois coach Brad Underwood isn't very happy with his team's play as his 9-5 Fighting Illini haven't shown as much fight as he would like and are playing off their headlines. No. 22 Illinois has what many believe is four NBA draft picks playing for themselves. Penn State has been dreadful firing their coach and have lost four straight and haven't posted a win since Dec. 8. Illinois is 0-5-1 ATS at home against teams with losing records and the underdog is 19-9-2 ATS in the last 20 meetings and the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take PENN STATE! |

01-18-21 | Kansas v. Baylor -8.5 | 69-77 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
Kansas at Baylor 9:00 ET Bears (+) over Jayhawks- The Big-12 once again is providing us with ranked teams going at it as No. 2 Baylor is hosting perennial conference champion No. 7 Kansas. The Bears are undefeated at 12-0 SU and an impressive 10-2 ATS and score 87.3ppg while defending at 61.1ppg allowed. The Baylor offense shoots the eyes out of the ball as they say and they are over 50% from the field and 42.3% from long range. There are numerous positive trends supporting both squads but the Bears score 11ppg more than the Hawks and allow 6.5ppg less. The line is way high. I don't ever remember Kansas being this big an underdog against anybody anytime. Take BAYLOR! |

01-17-21 | Penn State +5 v. Purdue | 72-80 | Loss | -109 | 2 h 27 m | Show | |
Penn State at Purdue 1:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Boilermakers- Penn State has lost three straight but have managed to go 2-1 ATS and are off an OT 87-85 loss at Indiana and that was 17 days ago as the Lions have had four straight postponements. Purdue returns home after four straight road games and with wins over Michigan State and Indiana. The Boilermakers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games as favorites and 0-3-1 ATS in their last four home games. The road team is 4-0 ATS in the last five meetings and the fog is 4-1-1 last six.

Baylor at Texas Tech 4:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Bears- The Big-12 has given us some great matchups as it is one of the deepest better basketball conferences in the nation. This one pits No. 2 Baylor against the Red Raiders who just jettisoned Texas 77-75 while the undefeated Bears were taking care of TCU in their house last Saturday. A game this week for Baylor against West Virginia was postponed. Baylor averages 89ppg while Texas Tech only allows just 59.4ppg. Although the Raiders are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games the home team in this series is 5-2 ATS in the lat seven meetings and the underdog is 4-1 ATS. Take TEXAS TECH! |

Arkansas at Alabama 3:30 ET Razorbacks (+) over Crimson Tide- After a slow start Alabama has won six straight and is 5-0 in SEC action and is 6-0 ATS in their last six overall. Arkansas has lost 3-of-4 but still have a point differential advantage of 87.2 to 69.2 and are 5-0 ATS after a straight-up loss. The Razorbacks are well balanced with five players averaging double figures and getting points gives them the edge as the underdogs is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Take ARKANSAS! |

01-16-21 | Kentucky +2 v. Auburn | 59-66 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 25 m | Show | |
Kentucky at Auburn Wildcats (+) over Tigers- As we are all aware this is not a really good Kentucky basketball team and most would agree that they stink especially if you witnessed their 85-75 loss at home to Alabama their worst loss ever in Rupp Arena to Alabama and the worst in Lexington since 1974. But, Kentucky is 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine road games while Auburn even tho the are off a 95-77 win at Georgia they are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall. The Wildcats have dominated this series 95 wins to 21 losses at one point winning 18 straight from 2001-2015. Take KENTUCKY! |

01-16-21 | Michigan v. Minnesota +6 | 57-75 | Win | 100 | 13 h 11 m | Show | |
Michigan at Minnesota 2:00 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Wolverines- A week ago when playing 'against' the undefeated and unranked Wolverines I was overwhelmed by a swarming quick as life defense and an offense that averages 82ppg. That will be a challenge for this Rich Pitino coached team that is 10-0 at home (0-4 away) including 5-0 ATS in the last five. Michigan is 6-2 ATS on the road in their last eight. Wolves have defeated three straight ranked teams by 10 points or more this time they will face some better competition. Take GOLDEN GOPHERS! |

01-16-21 | North Carolina +4 v. Florida State | 75-82 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 30 m | Show | |
North Carolina at Florida State 12:00 ET Tar Heels (+) over Seminoles- Both of these clubs are coming off victories but how they achieved them by different routes. North Carolina won their third straight getting by a scrappy Syracuse squad while Florida State was setting school and SEC records by shooting 70.7% from the floor and 12-of-18 from behind the arc. The Seminoles may have their best team since Leonard Hamilton took over but UNC is still Carolina and they will control the boards as they lead the nation in offensive rebounds and will get those second chance points. Take the TAR HEELS! |

01-15-21 | Wisconsin v. Rutgers +3 | Top | 60-54 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
Wisconsin at Rutgers 7:00 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Badgers- Yeah, I was one of those guys that was sucked in, into taking Wisconsin last time out at Michigan when they trailed 69-29 getting out-scored 36-3 during one stretch. Usually I would look to rebound with a team after a bad loss but this is something a bit different. The Badgers have failed against Marquette, Maryland and Michigan as their shooting hasn't kept up with their relivable defense. Rutgers has lost a step as well opening 6-0 and getting ranked as high as No. 11 but have dropped their last four including a 78-68 home loss to Ohio State on Saturday. Looking for the Knights to rebound at home as the hosts are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take RUTGERS! |

01-15-21 | UABĀ v. Charlotte +1 | 61-37 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
UAB at Charlotte 5:00 ET 49ers (+) over Blazers- UAB is 9-1 overall and 2-0 in CUSA action and visits 5-5 Charlotte who is 3-5 SU at home. The Blazers are an impressive 9-1 at home and are just 1-0 on the road winning at E. Tenn. St. of the Southern Conference. Charlotte who is playing their fourth straight home games has played five straight close games with decisions by 3, 4, 4, 1 and 3 with the last two going OT. The 49ers are 5-1 ATS after a SU loss and the heaviest of them all is the underdogs is 14-2 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Take CHARLOTTE! |

01-15-21 | Old Dominion -3 v. Rice | 59-69 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 11 m | Show | |
Old Dominion at Rice 3:00 ET Monarchs (-) over Owls- Let's see now, Rice better record 9-3 (5-1 at home) while Old Dominion 7-3 (2-3 on the road) and the Monarchs are favored. This makes no sense as they are 2-6 ATS on the road and 2-7 ATS against a team with a winning record. The Owls are 4-1 last five and this just doesn't figure as they are 11-5 ATS against teams with winning records. I don't get it...Take OLD DOMINION! |

01-14-21 | Purdue +4 v. Indiana | 81-69 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
Purdue at Indiana 7:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Hoosiers- These two Indiana schools have a tense rivalry that won't be diminished because of the lack of student attendance. These clubs are very similar as they don't possess much firepower on offense but play some of the toughest defense in the nation. The Hoosiers allow just 66.6 ppg while staying neck and neck is Purdue who allows just 66.2 ppg. Purdue has struggled on the road going just 5-12-3 ATS in their last 20 road games but have won seven straight against the Hoosiers. Take PURDUE. |

01-14-21 | Washington State v. UCLA -9 | 61-91 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show | |
Washington State at UCLA 5:00 ET Bruins (-) over Cougars- This seems a bit odd that a pair of 9-2 teams meet from the same conference and one team is double-digit favorites. UCLA has won four straight and are off a sweep in Arizona defeating both desert teams and now face a Cougars squad that is playing just just their second true road game and are on the road for the third straight game as their loss to Stanford was played in Santa Cruz. Washington State is just 7-17-1 ATS in their last 25 road games while UCLA is 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine road games and the home team is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Take UCLA! |

Stanford at Utah 5:00 ET Utes (+) over Cardinal- These two Pac-12 clubs are struggling to find regular scheduled games and are moving in opposite directions. Stanford has won three straight and are 4-1 in conference play while Utah has lost four straight and is 1-4 in Pac-12 action blowing 10-point second half leads in their last two games against Colorado and Oregon (two pretty good clubs). The Utes have won five straight at home against the Cardinal and have swept all the Bay area schools at home since 2014-15 and the home team is 8-1-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Take UTAH! |

01-13-21 | Texas A&M +7 v. Mississippi State | 56-55 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
Chip's SEC Power Play Winner Texas A&M at Mississippi State 9:00 ET Aggies (+) over Bulldogs- Mississippi State has been good to 'us' as we are 3-0 ATS in their last four games and they are off a non-cover win at Vanderbilt after defeating Missouri at home. Meanwhile A&M is looking for the right chemistry after a 68-54 home loss to Tennessee. The Aggies worked hard on the boards and out-rebounded the Vols wiped the glass clean for a 31-23 advantage. They will have to do that and then some to get by the Bulldogs huge front line that outscored Vanderbilt 42-18 in the paint but are just 63% at Free Throw line. Miss St is favored but the dog is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take TEXAS A&M! |

Texas Tech at Texas 9:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Longhorns- I love this Texas team as Shaka Smart has finally turned out a product the alumni can be proud of being ranked No. 4 to start the week. Undefeated 4-0 in Big-12 action they managed to avoid an upset after defeating Kansas by 25-points taking down Iowa State and won at the buzzer at West Virginia. They have shown me plenty of character and against will face a stiff test in state rival Texas Tech who have won their last two and four of five. The Red Raiders had lost seven straight before their 91-64 win at Iowa State and they are ready to start a new trend. Take TEXAS TECH! |

01-13-21 | Arkansas +2 v. LSU | 76-92 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
Arkansas at LSU 7:00 ET Razorbacks (+) over Tigers- Arkansas is one of the highest scoring teams in the country averaging 88.2 points a game and are coming off a 99-69 point win over Georgia rebounding from consecutive losses to Missouri and at Tennessee. LSU has won two straight with a win over Georgia as well, but the Tigers had to go overtime to win 94-92 at home but they off a 75-61 win at Mississippi. The Tigers are just 3-9 ATS is their last 12 games after a straight-up win while the Razorbacks are 6-1 ATS in their last seven against teams with winning records and the road team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take ARKANSAS! |

Chip's SEC Heavy Hitter Winner Auburn at Georgia 7:00 ET Tigers (+) over Bulldogs- Talk about 'Don't make sense' this line sure doesn't do it for me. Here is Georgia 7-3 still looking for the first SEC win 7-0 SU at home favored by less than a bucket against an Auburn squad that has lost four straight. Georgia has six players averaging double figures but they commit 18.1 turnovers a game. Auburn has played three true road games and lost them all and are 0-3 ATS and yet they are less than a field goal underdog. Don't make sense...take AUBURN! |

01-13-21 | NC State +3.5 v. Florida State | 73-105 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
N.C. State at Florida State 6:30 ET Wolfpack (+) over Seminoles- Both these club play defense first but Florida State is considered more talented and more athletic (ha yeah code for not smart players). The Seminoles field goal defense has held opponents under 70 points four times but they haven't played in 16 days and have missed numerous practices. N.C. State plays pressure defense that ranks 7th in steals (9.8) as they force 18.6 turnovers per game. Wolfpack 0-2 on the road but break through her as road team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take NC STATE! |
|||||||
01-12-21 | Syracuse +5 v. North Carolina | 75-81 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
Syracuse at North Carolina 9:00 ET Orange (+) over Tar Heels- This game has been scheduled today because both the Tar Heels and Orange had games cancelled against Clemson this week as here we are. Syracuse under Jim Boeheim's reign have always been a defense first team and they are still playing that way as they contain their foes shooting percentages at 39% from the field and just 30% from beyond the arc. North Carolina is not the dominate team that we are used to seeing as they have had six games decided by six points or less as they struggle to find offensive chemistry. The Heels rank #263 in offense with poor shooting from the floor (41%) but rebound well averaging 41.7 rebounds. Still, it's defense and the Orange. Take SYRACUSE! |

01-12-21 | Kansas v. Oklahoma State +4 | Top | 70-75 | Win | 100 | 6 h 17 m | Show |
Kansas at Oklahoma State 8:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Jayhawks- Kansas may have the matchup they want as coach Bill Self prefers to play an 'inside' game as their 'big man' David McCormack is expected to clean the boards and managed to score 37 points in the past two games including scoring the game winner against Oklahoma Saturday. The Cowboys play tough defense allowing opponents just 39% FG shooting although undersized and ranking No. 222 in defensive rebounding. The Jayhawks are tough on the road going 9-2 ATS as favorites but State is 4-1 ATS as underdogs and the home team is 5-1 ATS in their last six home games. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

Chip's Big Ten Major Shocker Winner Wisconsin at Michigan 7:00 ET Badgers (+) over Wolverines- This should be one of the better played games of the day as the Big Ten matchup pits No. 7 Michigan (10-0, 5-0) against No. 9 Wisconsin (10-2, 4-1). This basketball season the Big Ten is by far the strongest conference in the country and these two have contrasting style as the Wolverines are looking to out gun and out score you while the Badgers use their defense to keep opponents at 61.5 ppg and holding them to 38.9% shooting. Take the points...WISCONSIN! |

01-12-21 | Ole Miss +3 v. Florida | 63-72 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 41 m | Show | |
Chip's SEC Power Play Winner Mississippi at Florida 7:00 ET Rebels (+) over Gators- After quick starts these two clubs are backsliding as Florida has dropped their last two assuring they have dropped from the ranking and Mississippi has lost three of four after starting the season 4-0. This seems like a very short 'number' as the Rebels have struggled as road dogs going 0-5 ATS against teams with winning records but they bounce back after double-digit losses to go 20-6 ATS next time out. The Gators always a decent team is usually favorite but don't get there as they are 10-21 ATS in their last 31 home games. Take MISSISSIPPI! |

Chip's ACC Vegas Hotline Winner Duke at Virginia Tech 7:00 ET Hokies (+) over Blue Devils- A lot of things are changing in the ACC and the dominating play of North Carolina and Duke appear to be in the rear view mirror. Although they have played and won four more games than No. 19 Duke the Hokies are ranked No. 20 below the Blue Devils as old reps remain with the perennial powers. Virginia Tech is a strong rebounding team bullying Notre Dame on the boards last time out gaining a 41-24 rebounding advantage. Devils are just 1-6 ATS overall and 1-6 ATS as road favorites while Tech is 5-1 ATS in their last six games and the home team is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

Connecticut at DePaul 6:00 ET Blue Demons (+) over Huskies- Connecticut is 6-1 under Dan Hurley's leadership with their only blemish a 76-74 OT loss to Top-10 ranked Creighton and have already beaten DePaul 82-61 on Dec. 30 for their ninth straight series victory. The Blue Demons who have struggled in the Big East over the years and are 0-3 in conference play also losing to Providence in double-OT and Seton Hall. 'We are a work in progress' according to coach Dave Leitao as the Demons get ready for just their fifth game of the season. Take DEPAUL! |

01-11-21 | Colorado v. Utah +3 | Top | 65-58 | Loss | -112 | 5 h 33 m | Show |
Colorado at Utah 6:00 ET Utes (+) over Buffaloes- Colorado who is off a 79-72 home win over Oregon were in the middle of a four-game home stand but instead are on the road in Salt Lake City tonight. Utah on the other hand is also off a home game against the Ducks but with different results as they fell 79-73 and have lost three straight in Pac-12 play. The Buffaloes are 6-1 ATS in their last games seven as favorites but it is a different story when on the road where as favorites as they are 6-16 ATS in that role and 11-40-1 ATS in their last 52 road games overall. Take UTAH! |

01-10-21 | Maryland +10 v. Illinois | 66-63 | Win | 100 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
Maryland at Illinois 8:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Illini- The Big Ten has more than one good 'big man' in the conference and Illinois' 7-foot center Kofi Cockburn is making his presence felt. Leading the No. 12 Illini they are now 5-1 in Big Ten play and after trailing by 15 points at the half they outscored Northwestern 53-13 in the second half. Maryland has lost three straight and the last one to Iowa and their big man Garza who dominated the Terps. Let's hope that they learned something. Underdog 5-0 ATS last five meetings and hopefully get there again...take MARYLAND! |

Cincinnati at Wichita State 4:30 ET Bearcats (+) over Shockers- The Bearcats who have been the 'kiss-of-death' to backers broke through with an outright win over SMU for 'us' last time out and from what I am hearing they actually like what it feels like to be a winner. So, I am giving them another opportunity to prove their worth against not-so talented group of Shockers. Hey how about this the underdog is 4-0 ATS in their season and the road team is 7-0 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take CINCINNATI! |

01-10-21 | Minnesota +10 v. Iowa | 71-86 | Loss | -102 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Iowa 2:30 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Hawkeyes- Well, I couldn't have positioned it any better myself, but let see if it plays out correctly. Hawkeyes flying high at home winning all eight games as hosts and looking for revenge for their loss on Christmas Day at Minnesota 102-95 in overtime. Losing at Michigan 82-57 last time out brings the Gophers road road to 0-4 SU and ATS. Not only is Iowa 21-4-1 ATS in their last 27 home games the home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Tough call but it's MINNESOTA! |

Baylor at T.C. U. 3:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Bears- No. 2 Baylor is 10-0 and not really been tested winning every game by at least 11 points with an average margin of victory of 28.8 per game. The one contest that would have given some perspective against Gonzaga was cancelled. TCU is off a 30-point beat down by Kansas but have given the Bears fits winning four of the past six meetings the last three years outright. Prior to that blowout loss to the Jayhawks the Frogs had won five in-a-row and they are 7-3 ATS following a Su loss. The Bears are tough everywhere and are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 road games. Still, this spot here today it's the Horned frogs...Take T.C.U.! |

01-09-21 | Seton Hall v. DePaul +3.5 | 76-68 | Loss | -106 | 3 h 3 m | Show | |
Seton Hall at DePaul 2:00 ET Blue Demons over Pirates- I usually like to take teams to bounce back from blowout losses but when a team losses the way Seton Hall lost to Creighton at no time showing any resistance. Even coach Kevin Willard said that they have got to regroup as he deals with the 'dog' in his Pirates. Seton Hall is just 7-16 ATS when playing teams with a losing record and the underdog in this series in 5-1 ATS last six meetings. Take DEPAUL! |

01-09-21 | Mississippi State v. Vanderbilt +3.5 | Top | 84-81 | Win | 100 | 2 h 5 m | Show |
Mississippi State at Vanderbilt 1:00 ET Commodores (+) over Bulldogs- Mississippi State is coming off a great come-from-behind win over No. 13 Missouri 78-63 trailing by 16 at one point while Vanderbilt trailed Florida and Kentucky and never recovered and stand 0-2 in SEC play. The only positive trend that I can find for the 'Doors is that the underdog is 9-4-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings and that they are 4-2 SU at home. Bad spot for Bulldogs who may get caught napping. Take VANDERBILT! |

01-09-21 | Ohio State +4 v. Rutgers | 79-68 | Win | 100 | 1 h 5 m | Show | |
Ohio State at Rutgers 12:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Scarlet Knights- Rutgers jumped out with a pair of Big Ten wins to start conference play but have dropped 3-of-4 since including their last two to Iowa and Michigan State. Ohio State is 2-3 in conference action also losing last time out at Minnesota making it three Big Ten road losses and two home wins. The favorite in this series is 5-1 ATS and the home team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. But hey...this is why we call it handicapping...take BUCKEYES! |

01-09-21 | Alabama v. Auburn +5.5 | 94-90 | Win | 100 | 1 h 4 m | Show | |
Alabama at Auburn 12:00 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- From top to bottom that's the way this rivalry seems to be headed as the SEC's only undefeated basketball (3-0) team Alabama (hard that before) travels to play the conference's only winless team (0-3) that's Auburn. The Tide have won four straight including a win 15-point win over Florida and a win at Tennessee. The number don't favor the Tigers but Bruce Pearl should have them ready for this one. Take AUBURN! |

01-08-21 | Dayton v. Davidson -7 | 89-78 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Dayton at Davidson 9:00 ET Wildcats (-) over Flyers- As the song goes 'what a difference a day makes...', it supposed to to be '24 little hours.' But, what I am seeing is two different teams one season to the next as Dayton doesn't measure up to last year's version. The Flyers were just defeated by Fordham 55-54 in a game where they were 12-point favorites and they trailed the entire game. Now they show up as underdogs on the road where they are 4-11 ATS in their last 15. The Wildcats are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 as home underdogs. Take DAVIDSON! |

Purdue at Michigan State 7:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Spartans- Boilermakers have covered but once in their last nine games going 1-6-2 ATS and have dropped their last two straight-up. Michigan State is bouncing back from a 3-game slide with a pair of wins over Nebraska and No. 13 Rutgers but had lost seven straight to the 'number' before the win over the Scarlet Knights. Purdue has won the past two meetings and are 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take the BOILERMAKERS! |

U.S.C. at Arizona 9:00 ET Trojans (+) over Wildcats- This could play out as one of the better Pac -12 match-ups as 9-1 unranked Arizona winners of four straight including a pair of wins over the Washington schools hosts 6-2 USC off a smothering win over Utah. The Trojans who have the size to get the ball off the rim held the Utes to 27.9% shooting and just 46 points. Arizona also makes claim to the ball off the boards as they possess a plus-11.4 edge in rebounds. USC is 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as road underdogs and 17-7 ATS against teams with a winning record while Arizona is 2-6 ATS against teams with a winning record. Take SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! |

Cincinnati at S.M.U. 7:00 ET Bearcats (+) over Mustangs- I hope that I not getting caught in the 'switches' here as was a supporter of the Mustangs as they entered their showdown against Houston on Sunday, as SMU and my Power Play release went down the tubes. So, here I am looking to play one of the absolute 'worst' cover teams in NCAA sports be it basketball or football. Cincinnati (2-6) is a dreadful 1-7 ATS on the season and this isn't anything new as they are 15-37 ATS in their last 52 games overall including 3-14 ATS as road underdogs. Gosh that is terrible but believe it or not the Bearcats have won the last seven meetings straight-up. Take CINCINNATI! |

Iowa at Maryland 7:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Hawkeyes- Iowa as most are aware have one of the best 'big men' in the country in Luke Garza but many are not aware of the fact that they are a great 3-point shooting team that helps open the inside. The Hawkeyes have rebounded from their OT loss at Minnesota and are off a 77-75 win at No. 14 Rutgers. Maryland has dropped two straight after an upset win at Wisconsin and will try and get it done with defense as they allow 66.6 ppg while Iowa scores at a 92.7 clip. The trends are all one-sided and if I wrote them out it might steer me away from who I believe is the winner. Take MARYLAND! |

Minnesota at Michigan 8:30 ET Golden Gophers (+) over Wolverines- There are only three teams that remain undefeated from major conferences No. 10 Michigan is one while No. 1 Gonzaga and No. 2 Baylor is the other. How are there seven teams ranked between the No. 2 and No. 10. Minnesota is 10-2 and ranked No. 16 and are 0-2 in road games going 0-2 ATS at Wisconsin and Illinois. But, the road team is 12-5 ATS in the last 17 meetings tough call with the coaches both on top of their game. Take MINNESOTA! |

01-06-21 | St. John's +7 v. Xavier | 61-69 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
St. John's at Xavier 8:00 ET Red Storm (+) over Musketeers- St. John's jumped back into the win column after three straight Big East losses by beating Georgetown 94-83 at home ending a 0-4 ATS slide. Xavier got of the mark quick with an 8-0 start but have been stopped at Creighton and at home a week ago against Seton Hall. There is one thing both these clubs do and that is score points as the Red Storm put up 83 points a game and the Musketeers fire-up 80.2 ppg with X's defense about 10-points better per game. St. John's is the leading scoring team in the Big East and they play a pressure defense that forces mistakes of while the Musketeers are prone. Take RED STORM! |

01-06-21 | Virginia Tech +5 v. Louisville | Top | 71-73 | Win | 100 | 6 h 53 m | Show |
Virginia Tech at Louisville 6:30 ET Hokies (+) over Cardinals- No. 19 Virginia Tech (8-1) has played seven games at home and two on neutral sights which makes this their first true road game of the season. But, how much of an 'actual' road game can this be if there are no spectators, no fans there to intimate their opponents and to harass the refs. Still, the Hokies are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games and are 7-17 ATS in their last 24 overall. The Hokies had their game with Virginia postponed so it has been a week since their 80-78 win over Miami their fourth straight. No. 25 Louisville has won three straight after suffering pounding at Wisconsin 85-48 their sole loss and are 6-2-1 ATS at home. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

01-05-21 | Missouri v. Mississippi State +2.5 | Top | 63-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
Missouri at Mississippi State 9:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- No. 13 Missouri is the surprise of the SEC (aside from Kentucky being 2-6) and are 7-1 and coming off a huge win at Arkansas. That makes them but 1-1 in conference play falling to Tennessee 73-53. Mississippi State was good to 'us' at Georgia winning 83-73 outright as a 3-point dog a week ago but fell to Kentucky in overtime at home Saturday 78-73. The Tigers haven measured up to the competition on the road going 3-8 ATS in their last 11 against teams with winning records while the Bulldogs are 10-4 ATS after a SU loss. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

01-05-21 | Connecticut +100 v. Marquette | 65-54 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Connecticut at Marquette 9:00 ET Huskies (+) over Golden Eagles- There have been a lot of changes at Connecticut since Jim Calhoun retired as Kevin Ollie his replacement last six season with plenty of controversy as the University sued to keep from paying him for numbers violations. But, now they have Dan Hurley at the helm and he has his Huskies back in form at 4-1 with their only loss against Creighton 76-74 in overtime. Marquette is 6-5 but has not been very impressive as they are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games and really just have an early win over Wisconsin. The road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the underdogs is 4-1 ATS in last five. Take CONNECTICUT! |

01-05-21 | North Carolina v. Miami-FL +4 | 67-65 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
North Carolina at Miami-Fl 8:00 ET Hurricanes (+) over Tar Heels- UNC is 1-6 ATS in their last seven and are 0-3 SU on the road and yet they are favored here. Coach Roy Williams has six freshman in his rotation with four of them getting the bulk of playing time and their inexperience has been evident. Miami who also use on pair of freshman are 4-4 and have lost a pair if games on final shot buzzer beaters. The Tar Heels have dropped in quality play as they are 5-14-1 ATS in their last 20 games following a SU win and just 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 as favorites on the road, while the Hurricanes are 4-1 ATS in their last five as home underdogs. Take MIAMI! |

01-02-21 | LSU +1.5 v. Florida | Top | 79-83 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 59 m | Show |
LSU at Florida 2:00 ET Tigers (+) over Gators- Both clubs are coming off dominate performances as Florida was never headed at Vanderbilt winning 91-72 while the Tigers manhandled Texas A&M 77-54. I must give the gators credit as they are 4-1 and have played four of their first five games away from home only hosting Stetson winning 86-40 as 24-point favorites. LSU (6-1) unlike the Gators have played just one true road game at St. Louis receiving their only defeat 85-81 as the Billikens made 44-of-70 shots.Neither team has any impressive trends to speak of other than the road team is 5-1-1 in the last seven meetings. Take LSU! |

01-02-21 | Creighton v. Providence +4.5 | 67-65 | Win | 100 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
Creighton at Providence 12:00 ET Friars (+) over Bluejays- No. 11 Creighton extended their Christmas holiday and chose not to play Georgetown on Wednesday and open the New Year with a game in Providence with the Friars are 4-0 SU this season. The Bluejays have won their last three while Providence has won 5-of-6 including their last two outings at home over DePaul and Butler. The Friars lead the series 16-11 including a 9-3 mark at home and they are 5-2 ATS at home versus teams with winning records. Take PROVIDENCE |

01-02-21 | Texas +4 v. Kansas | 84-59 | Win | 100 | 3 h 2 m | Show | |
Texas at Kansas 12:00 ET Longhorns (+) over Jayhawks- This game is simple to figure out. If the Longhorns veteran trio of guards hit their 3-point shots it will negate the Kansas size advantage. The Jayhawks are 8-0 since their opening 102-90 loss to No. 1 Gonzaga while Texas only loss came to Villanova 68-64. The visitors are 501 ATS in their last six on the road and the road team is 11-2 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Take TEXAS! |

Old Dominion at Florida Int 7:00 ET Panthers over Monarchs- Giving you the winner of this game will explain my true expertise or not. You see I am a 'numbers' guys. I really don't know many of the players names but I know that the kid playing point guard that No. 12 is real good. So, don't get me wrong, I see more than most others when observing a game. Well, my point here is that Old Dominion has a basketball pedigree of sort while Florida Int is where again...and has no national recognizance. Boy, if 'we' don't win this game it's back to square one. Take FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL! |

12-31-20 | Colorado +2 v. USC | 72-62 | Win | 100 | 21 h 9 m | Show | |
Colorado at USC 10:00 ET Buffaloes (+) over Trojans- Now is a tricky one have I believe that 'we' win here with the Buffaloes we will make plenty of money on and against them the rest of the way. Colorado went to Arizona a place where that haven't won since entering the Pac-12 in 2011 and Arizona at home was a 2-point favorite. That 'price' tells me the bookmakers have a bit of respect for the Buffs. USC just had a 20-day break and posted an 86-63 win over Santa Clara on Tuesday and now are back on the court within 48 hours.Considering that Colorado is 13-40 ATS in their last 53 road games is not reflected in the line. Take COLORADO! |

Michigan at Maryland 7:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Wolverines- So here comes No. 16 ranked and undefeated Michigan (7-0) into College Park and the Terrapins return home after upsetting ranked Wisconsin in Madison. The Wolverines just had an easy time as Nebraska where they were never threatened winning 80-69 as a 7.5-point favorite. That was Michigan's first game since Dec. 13 and in their last meeting in the final game last season the Big Ten co-champs who closed the season with a 83-70 win over the visiting Wolverines. Take MARYLAND! |

12-31-20 | Minnesota v. Wisconsin -8 | 59-71 | Win | 100 | 16 h 43 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Wisconsin 4:30 ET Badgers (-) over Golden Gophers- No. 21 Minnesota just reeled off three straight home wins and covers starting with St. Louis, Iowa and then Michigan State as Rich Pitino has his squad 9-0 SU at home. Meanwhile, Wisconsin just had their five game winning streak halted by Maryland as a beaten 10-point favorite on Monday. The Golden Gophers have play on the road once and lost at Illinois by 27 points. I don't need a margin that big but double-digits will do! Take WISCONSIN! |

12-30-20 | North Carolina v. Georgia Tech +3.5 | 67-72 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
North Carolina at Georgia Tech 8:00 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Tar Heels- North Carolina at 5-3 has been dropped from the rankings and quite deservedly so. I don't believe this is one of the Tar Heels better team and coach Williams know it. Both clubs have wins over Kentucky (heck, if you scheduled Kentucky you win) but Carolina has trailed by double-digits in six games three of which they lost. Carolina has covered just one spread in their last six games while the Yellow Jackets are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven they bound back after an ATS loss and are 20-7 ATS. Take GEORGIA TECH! |

12-30-20 | Seton Hall +2.5 v. Xavier | 85-68 | Win | 100 | 6 h 48 m | Show | |
Seton Hall at Xavier 7:00 ET Pirates (+) over Musketeers- Xavier opened with eight straight wins and busted into the rank9ngs at No. 22 and then promptly lost to another ranked team Creighton 66-61. They host Seton Hall who is a disappointing 6-5 rebounding from a 1-3 start and are 3-1 in Big East action. The Musketeers have had seven days to stew about their first loss and after that much time doubt starts to creep into your thoughts. The Pirates are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games and building confidence they are 24-11 ATS last 35 after a SU win. Add that the road team and underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take SETON HALL! |

12-30-20 | Mississippi State +2 v. Georgia | Top | 83-73 | Win | 100 | 6 h 51 m | Show |
Mississippi State at Georgia 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Bulldogs- So big bad Georgia is undefeated (7-0) but was so lightly regarded by the oddsmakers that two games ago against a 2-5 Cincinnati team they were a 2-point underdog at home. Miss State is 4-0 at home and 0-3 on the road and all three were at neutral sites against better competition. This is the start of a 'new' season as it is the SEC opener for both and it takes on that little something extra. Of any trends of significance Georgia holds the edge but the oddsmaker say different. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

12-29-20 | Purdue +3.5 v. Rutgers | Top | 76-81 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
Purdue at Rutgers 7:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Scarlet Knights- Rutgers was 6-0 with a pair of Big Ten wins over Maryland and Illinois and then ran into Ohio State was were out-classed 80-68 after building a 13-point lead. The Scarlet Knights won their first five games by double-digits but a 20-1 run by the Buckeyes brought Rutgers back to reality. The are lead by one-gang Ron Harper Jr. who can't do it alone and the Knights will be short handed as a pair of their standout freshman are questionable. Purdue had won the first eight meetings between the two until last season when Rutgers swept the series (2-0) and this time out the boilermakers get their revenge. Take PURDUE! |
