40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Temple -4.5)

I'll take my chances here with Temple covering the 4.5-point spread at home against the Mustangs. I don’t know why the books keep giving this SMU team so much respect. The Mustangs are a mere 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games and the lone cover came with them as a double-digit underdog. In their last two games they lost outright as a home favorite to South Florida and UCF. They are now just 12-11 overall with a 4-7 mark in the AAC. Their only hope of making the NCAA Tournament is to win the AAC Tournament, so that makes these final regular-season games pretty meaningless.

I just don’t see them snapping out of their funk against a quality Temple team that will be extremely motivated to get a win after an ugly loss at Tulsa. In fact, I think that 18-point defeat to the Golden Hurricane is playing a big part in this favorable line we are getting here. I know the Owls are just 3-7-1 ATS at home this season, but they are 9-2 SU and there’s a good chance if they win this game they cover the 4.5.

Mustangs are 7-21-1 ATS in their last 29 games vs a team that simply has a winning record and have covered just once in their last 5 on the road. Give me Temple -4.5!

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Clemson -2) 

I'll take my chances here with Clemson as a small road favorite here against Miami. A lot of people wrote off this Tigers team after they started out 1-5 in ACC play, but what the failed to take notice of is that 4 of the 5 losses came on the road (all against good teams in Duke, Syracuse, FSU and NC State) and the other was at home to Virginia. Since that rough start they have won 4 straight and covered 5 in a row. 

Miami is 2-9 in ACC play and simply aren't very good. However, they are coming off a surprisingly close game at home to UNC, where they lost in overtime as a 15.5-point road dog. I think that's definitely playing into this line, as well as the fact that they have covered 3 in a row, but I don't see them winning this one. I actually think this is a brutal spot for the Hurricanes off that emotional loss to the Tar Heels. There will also be no overlooking Miami by Clemson, as they need to keep winning to keep their tournament hopes alive. Give me the Tigers -2! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Celtics +6.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Celtics covering the 6.5-point spread against the 76ers. Philadelphia is getting all sorts of praise from their big additions at the trade line. The hype around this team has only grown with their last two wins over the Nuggets and Lakers. Add in the Celtics being without Kyrie Irving and everyone is taking Philadelphia here. Not me. I think the Celtics are going to bring a different type of intensity to this one and while they might not win, I think they at least keep it close. Give me Boston +6.5! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Maryland PK) 

I'll take my chances here with the Terps at a pick'em on their home floor. While Maryland is currently ranked in the Top 20, this is a team that I feel gets overlooked in a loaded Big Ten. They were a 9-point dog earlier this season at Purdue and loss by just 2-points (62-60). I really think they should be favored here, but because the Boilermakers are 8-0 SU and 7-1 ATS in their last 8, we are getting big time value. Give me Maryland PK! 

40* NBA PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Wizards +5) 

 I'll take my chances here with Washington at this price. I really like the trade that the Wizards made giving up Otto Porter Jr to get two talented pieces in Jabari Parker and Bobby Portis. Both have really fit in nicely and Washington as a team is lighting it up offensively with 115 or more in each of their last 5. Detroit comes in having won 3 straight, but 2 of those were against the Knicks and the other was against a depleted Nuggets team that was in a major flat spot. Unlike Washington, Detroit got worse at the trade deadline, giving up the likes of Reggie Bullock and Stanley Johnson. Give me the Wizards +5! 

40* NCAAB LATE NIGHT ATS MASSACRE (USC -4.5) 

I'll take my chances here with USC as a small home favorite against Colorado. I think we are seeing some great value here with the Trojans due to the outcomes of the last game for both teams. USC lost 77-70 as a 6-point home favorite to Utah, while the Buffaloes won 84-73 as a 6-point dog at UCLA. Perfect spot for a bad road team like Colorado to revert back to their losing ways and for USC to bounce back with a big time effort. Give me the Trojans -4.5! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (LSU -2.5) 

I'll take my chances here with LSU as a small home favorite. Auburn is a quality team and get a lot of respect from oddsmakers, but they have not played well on the road in SEC play. Auburn is 1-3 away from home in the conference and the lone win was against Texas A&M, who is 1-8 in league play. LSU on the other hand is a team that I think has been flying under the radar for quite a while now. They are 11-1 at home this season and a dominant 10-1 ATS last 11 with a line of +3 to -3. Give me LSU -2.5! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (76ers -4.5) 

I'll take my chances here with Philadelphia covering the small number at home against the Nuggets. We can expect a big effort here from the 76ers after losing their last two, including an ugly 12-point home loss to the Raptors last time out. That's a rare home loss for Philadelphia, who is now 21-6 at the Wells Fargo Center. Denver has also lost their last two, but this is a tough spot for them. Nuggets are playing their 4th straight on the road and continue to play short-handed. The defense has really slipped of late. In their last 4 games they have allowed 122 to the Rockets, 106 to the Wolves, 129 to the Pistons and 135 to the Nets. Give me the 76ers -4.5! 

50* NBA TNT THURSDAY NIGHT GAME OF THE MONTH (Spurs +6) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with San Antonio cashing in a cover at Portland. In fact, I really like the Spurs to win this game outright. Portland had been playing really well but then had a 5-day break and came out and lost by double-digits to the Heat. I think the momentum was sucked out of this team. I also love the Spurs in this spot. San Antonio is coming off two lopsided losses to the Kings and Warriors and that's a big positive for us, as the Spurs are a perfect 8-0 ATS last 8 off 2 straight losses. They also rested their two best players and limited all their key players minutes in last night's loss to Golden State. Give me San Antonio +6! 

40* NBA PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Lakers +9) 

I'll take my chances here with the Lakers at least making this respectable against the Celtics. I know LA failed to show up in their last game at Indiana with LeBron in the lineup, but I think a lot of that is because players were so focused on the trade rumors. By the time this thing tips off, whoever is on the team is safe, as the deadline will have passed. The loss to the Pacers was the worst of LeBron's career and he didn't play great. I think he delivers a big time performance here against the Kyrie and the Celtics. Give me the Lakers +9! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (Memphis +4.5) 

I'll take my chances here with Memphis as a home dog against the Bearcats. I think the books have the wrong team favored in this game. Memphis is getting no love right now because of their recent ATS run. The Tigers are 2-6 ATS last 8 games. On top of that, Cincinnati is way overvalued right now due to them riding a 7 game winning streak. The big key here is just how good Memphis is at home. The Tigers only home loss this season is to Tennessee and they played the Vols tough. Give me Memphis +4.5! 

40* NCAAB LATE NIGHT ATS MASSACRE (USC -5.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Trojans laying what I feel is a short number at home against the Utes. This has really been a different team in Pac-12 play, as they have gotten some key guys back from injury. I just don’t think it’s asking a lot for them to cover this number. USC is a perfect 5-0 at home in Pac-12 play and 4 of the 5 wins have come by 9 or more, including a 23-point win over Arizona and a 13-point victory against UCLA. 

Utah comes in with a winning record in Pac-12 play at 5-4, but 4 of their 5 conference wins have come against teams who currently have a losing record in the conference. They also come in having just lost back-to-back games at home to the likes of Oregon and Oregon State. I just don’t think they will be able to keep this thing close. 

Both of these teams are very efficient offensive teams, as both come in shooting around 47% from the field. Where USC has the big advantage is on defense. The Trojans are only giving up 65.4 ppg and 38% shooting at home and have carried over that stingy defense at home into conference play. Utah on the other hand is allowing opponents to score 78 ppg and shooting 49% from the field away from home. USC also should have the edge here in both rebounding and turnovers, which I believe will be more than enough to create the separation needed for the cover. Utah is also a mere 4-11 ATS last 15 vs a team with a winning record and the favorite has covered 7 of the last 9 in the series. Give me the Trojans -5.5!

50* NCAAB BIG TEN GAME OF THE MONTH (Wisconsin -2.5) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Badgers laying such a short number on the road against the Gophers. Wisconsin comes in red-hot having won and covered each of their last 5. They certainly won't be looking past this game against Minnesota, as the Gophers beat them on their home floor earlier in conference play. Badgers couldn't have played much worse early in that game, as they had just 14 points at the half. Wisconsin is 35-19 ATS last 54 when revenging a home loss. It's also worth noting that road favorites who returned all 5 starters are 37-5 (88%) against the money line when revenging a home loss. While we are laying the points on the spread, this is basically a pick'em at this number, so I feel there's a ton of value with that ML trend. Give me the Badgers -2.5! 

40* NBA VEGAS ODDSMAKERS ERROR (Wizards +12) 

I'll take my chances here with the Wizards as a double-digit dog against the Bucks. These two teams just played on Saturday in Washington. Milwaukee won that contest 131-115, which is a big reason why we are seeing them being asked to lay such a big number here. 

I just think the fact that they just rolled the Wizards is really going to make it tough for the Bucks to get up for this game. This is definitely a flat spot with them just finishing up a 5-game road trip on Monday, which was also their 10th road game in their last 13 overall. Give me Washington +12! 

50* NBA ATLANTIC DIV GAME OF THE MONTH (76ers -2.5) 

I'll take my chances with Philadelphia as a small home favorite against the Raptors. Anytime you can get the 76ers at basically a pick'em at home, it's hard to pass up. Philadelphia is 21-5 at home this season, which includes a 25-point win over Toronto. Raptors are just 1-3 last 4 on the road and will be playing this game without starting point guard Kyle Lowry, who is doubtful with a back injury. They still are also without big man Jonas Valanciunas. Give me the 76ers -2.5! 

40* NCAAB PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Rutgers +10) 

I'll take my chances here with Rutgers covering as a double-digit home dog against the Wolverines. Michigan just lost by 15 at Iowa and everyone is going to be on them to bounce back. No question that has this line inflated. I fully expect the Wolverines to find a way to win, but I'm also confident that Rutgers will be able to keep it close enough to cover. Scarlet Knights are 4-1 ATS last 5 at home vs a team that's won more than 60% of their road games and Michigan is just 2-5 ATS last 7 off a game where they failed to cover. Give me Rutgers +10! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER ATS MASSACRE (St. John's +7) 

I'll take my chances here with the Red Storm getting 7-points at Marquette. I think this is the perfect time to jump on St. John's, who are coming off an ugly 30-point loss at Duke. Couldn't have gone much worse, as they shot 34% from the field and allowed the Blue Devils to shoot 56%. Marquette just won at Butler in similar style, as they shot 57% and held the Bulldogs to 33%. All of this has the Golden Eagles way-overvalued. I not only think St John's keeps it close, but I give them a legit shot at winning this one outright. Give me the Red Storm +7! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Louisville +5) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Cardinals at +5. I not only think Louisville covers this number on the road, but I like them to win here outright. Virginia Tech comes in off that crazy 47-24 win at NC State. While they get all the credit for holding the Wolfpack to 24 points, part of that was NC State settling for way too many 3-pointers (more than half their field goal attempts) and a lot of bad luck. There were countless shots by NC State that went in and out of the basket. What gets overlooked in the win for the Hokies is how bad their offense was in the first game since losing star senior point guard Justin Robinson. I think Virginia Tech is in a lot of trouble with him out. Give me the Cardinals +5! 

40* NBA ODDSMAKERS LINE MISTAKE (Lakers +10.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Lakers. There's just not many times I'm going to pass up on LeBron James as a double-digit dog. I know this is just the second game back for James, but they clearly waited until he was 100%. James played 40 points and nearly had a triple-double with 24 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists. He's going to give it everything they got in this one. I also think the Warriors are way overvalued right now. They had no business being a double-digit favorite against the 76ers in their last game and they lost outright. Give me the Lakers +10.5! 

50* NCAAB ACC GAME OF THE MONTH (Pittsburgh +3) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Panthers as a home dog in a game I think they win pretty easily. The reason we are getting such great value with Pitt is the fact that they come in having lost 4 straight. Syracuse also won and covered as a 8-point favorite in a meeting between these two on Jan. 19th. 

The 4-game losing streak looks bad on paper, but 3 of the 4 were on the road and the only game at home during the losing streak was Duke. Prior to losing at home to the Blue Devils, Pitt had beat FSU by 13 and upset Louisville. Syracuse just barely won at BC and were rolled by 22 at Va Tech in their previous road game. Doesn't help the Orange that this is their 3rd straight on the road. Give me the Panthers +3! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER ATS SLAUGHTER (Kansas -4) 

I'l take my chances here with the Jayhawks getting right at home in a big showdown with nationally ranked Texas Tech. Kansas doesn't lose often, but we catch them coming into this game off back-to-back losses, as they followed up a 8-point loss at Kentucky with a 10-point loss at Texas a few days later. Those are two really good teams. Jayhawks are going to lay it all on the line in this one and they are 11-0 at home. Texas Tech has a 17-4 record, but they are just 2-8-1 ATS last 11 games. Give me the Jayhawks -4! 

40* NCAAB AFTERNOON ATS MASSACRE (Boston College -2) 

I'll take my chances here with the Eagles at basically a pick'em on their home court against the Irish. For starters, Notre Dame is 1-5 away from home this season and while they did beat BC earlier this season, that was at home. That's also the only conference game the Irish have won all season and it was by a mere 3-points. BC covered that game and are 4-1 ATS last 5. They just played Syracuse really tough at home in their last game and their previous home game they beat FSU by 5 as a 7-point dog. Eagles get their revenge and I wouldn't be shocked if they won going away. Give me Boston College -2! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Nuggets -4.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Nuggets laying the 4.5-points at home against the Rockets. As good as James Harden has been, I think the Rockets are getting a little too much respect here on the road against a very good Denver team.

We just saw Houston lose at home to a Pelicans team that was playing a bunch of scrubs and as good as James Harden has been, the Rockets have not been very good on the road. Houstons' 1-3 in their last 4 road games and the lone win is a mere 4-point victory at New York. They lost by 28 at Philadelphia, 7 at Orlando and 9 at Portland. Nuggets are 22-4 at home this season. Give me Denver -4.5! 

40* NBA THURSDAY NIGHT TNT NO-BRAINER (76ers +10) 

I'll take my chances here with Philadelphia as a double-digit dog. Warriors have been rolling of late and the books have inflated this number big time. I really like this 76ers team and think they might just be the team to beat in the East. I don't know if they will have enough to pull off the upset and win the game, but I definitely like their chances of keeping it closer than the number. Give me the 76ers +10! 

50* NBA EASTERN CONF GAME OF THE MONTH (Raptors -2.5) 

I'll take my chances here with Toronto at basically a pick'em at home. No question these are two of the very best the Eastern Conference has to offer. The key here is where the game is being played. Raptors are 21-4 at home this season. Bucks are 8-18 ATS last 26 on the road with a line of +3 to -3, while Toronto is 15-5 ATS last 20 at home vs a team that's won more than 60% of their games. Give me the Raptors -2.5! 

40* NCAAB VEGAS ODDSMAKERS LINE MISTAKE (Temple +10) 

I'll take my chances here with the Owls as a double-digit dog at Houston. The Cougars are 20-1 and ranked No. 13 in the country, which has them way overvalued. Houston's lone loss came on the road against Temple. While winning on the road against the Cougars will be a much bigger challenge, you have to like the Owls chances of keeping this close. Give me the Owls +10

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (Creighton -4) 

I'll take my chances here with the Bluejays getting their revenge at home against the Red Storm. Creighton has responded in a big way after their 1-4 start to Big East play. After losing 4 straight, the Bluejays went on the road and upset Georgetown 91-87 and then rolled Butler 75-61 at home. 

Just so happens the last team they lost to was St John's. That's a big motivator here for Creighton and the Red Storm aren't exactly playing their best basketball right now. St. John's is just 1-4 SU in their last 5. 

Creighton is 34-21 ATS last 55 as a favorite and 29-14 ATS last 43 at home when revenging a same season loss. Give me the Bluejays -4! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Pacers PK) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Indiana Pacers at a pick’em on the road against the Washington Wizards. I think this is the perfect time to jump on the Pacers, as well as fade the Wizards.

Indiana has lost their first two games since Victor Oladipo went down to an injury. The most recent was the most lopsided loss of the season in a 32-point loss at home to the Warriors. I don’t think the perception could be much worse on the Pacers right now and yet the books are begging you to take Washington with this line.  

Losing Oladipo was a big  blow to the Pacers being a serious threat in the East, but don’t think for a second this team is going to just give up because he’s out. There’s still a lot of fight and a lot of talent on this roster and I expect a huge effort here coming off that ugly loss to the Warriors.  

Wizards are headed into Tuesday’s action having gone 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games and I’ve been on Washington a lot during this run. However, this is the ideal spot to go against them. Washington has to finish up a 3-game road trip at Cleveland on Tuesday, so they will be playing on no rest. It will also be their 5th game in the last 7 days. All of which will have been played at a different venue.  

Indiana has covered 9 of their last 11 trips to Washington, as the road team has absolutely dominated this series going 23-8 over the last 31 meetings. Give me the Pacers PK! 

40* NCAAB PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Butler -2.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Butler Bulldogs -2.5 at home against the No. 10 ranked Marquette Golden Eagles.

We have an unranked Butler team that has lost two straight and are just 3-5 in Big East play laying points against a Marquette team that has won 7 straight, are 7-1 in Big East play and ranked inside the Top 10 in the country. Any time I see an unranked team laying points against a ranked opponent, I’m almost always going to play the favorite, especially when everything points to the other side.  

Not to take take anything away from Marquette, who is a solid team and have a really special player in Markus Howard, but the Golden Eagles are pretty fortunate to be sitting where they are in Big East play. Marquette’s largest margin of victory in their last 6 games is 11-points with 4 of the 6 games decided by 5-points or less.  

Butler is 3-5 in the Big East, but 4 of the 5 losses are by 8-points or less, including back-to-back 1-point losses at Seton Hall and Xavier. This is a better team than people realize and a big reason why the books have them favored. Butler is also very tough to beat at Hinkle Fieldhouse, where they are 9-2.  

It’s also worth pointing out that in Marquette’s 18-3 start, they are a perfect 14-0 at home compared to just 4-3 on the road. They have gone 3-0 in road games in the Big East, but needed overtime to win at Creighton, won by just 3 at Georgetown and by 5 at Xavier. The most recent game they played was at the Musketeers and this will mark the first time this season they have played back-to-back on the road.  

Butler has won 5 straight in the series and are 9-2-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings. Give me the Bulldogs -2.5!

40* NCAAB VEGAS ATS LINE MISTAKE (Wisconsin +3) 

I'll take my chances here with the Badgers as a road dog. I'm shocked that Wisconsin is getting points in this contest. The Badgers are rolling on a 3-game winning streak, while the Cornhuskers have lost 3 straight and just fell at home to an Ohio State team that was playing some of their worst basketball going into the matchup. In the loss to the Buckeyes, Nebraska lost second leading scorer Isaac Copeland for the season and I just think that's too big a loss for this team to overcome. Give me Wisconsin +3! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Pistons +8) 

I'll take my chances here with Detroit. The first thing that comes up in the preview for this game is how Milwaukee hasn't lost back-to-back games all season. The betting public will simply see that stat and just roll the dice on the Bucks. The books are on top of it, as they have really inflated the line here to favor a Pistons cover. Keep in mind these two played at Detroit back on Dec. 17 and Milwaukee was a mere 3-point favorite and ended up winning by exactly 3. Winning on the road inside the division is not easy, as long as the other team isn't tanking. Detroit is thinking playoffs not the draft, so I expect a big fight here and maybe even a win. Give me the Pistons +8! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (NC State +7.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Wolfpack covering as a decently priced home dog against the Cavaliers. Virginia comes in having covered 10 straight and 13 of their last 14 overall. The books are going to start jacking up their lines and I think we are seeing exactly that in this game. NC State is 16-4 and 12-1 on their home floor. They are more than capable of not only covering, but leaving this game with a win. Give me the Wolfpack +7.5! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Pacers +8.5)

I'll take my chances here with Indiana as a big home dog against the Warriors. To the better public this looks like a complete mismatch. Golden State is playing their best basketball of the season and just added in DeMarcus Cousins. Indiana just lost their best player in Victor Oladipo and in the very first game without him they lost to a Grizzlies team that had lost 8 straight and 14 of 15.

I just think there's a lot of fight left in the Pacers and there's plenty of other talent on the roster besides Oladipo. I think they give everything they got against the defending champs to kinda see what they have to work with going forward. 

On the other side, this is definitely a game where the Warriors could come out flat. Not only are they coming off a huge win at Boston, where it felt like a playoff game late, but they will be playing the 5th and final road game of a 5-game trip.They haven't lost a game since that shocking 135-134 defeat to the Rockets at home back on Jan. 3rd and after this will host the 76ers, Lakers and Spurs in 3 straight at home. Really easy for this team to not give Indiana their full attention. Give me the Pacers +8.5! 

40* NBA VEGAS PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Mavs +5) 

I'll take my chances here with Dallas getting a decent number at home against the Raptors. I just think we are seeing the public jump all over Toronto, assuming they are going to bounce back after back-to-back losses. The thing is, this is a really tough stretch for the Raptors, who played at Indiana on Wednesday and had to turn around and play at Houston Friday. Both games were very high-paced, as each side attempted 90+ shots in both games. Toronto has to be running on fumes and just ready to get back home and enjoy a 3-day break after this contest. Give me the Mavs +5! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Jazz -4) 

I'll gladly take my chances with Utah in this one. I made the mistake of going against the Jazz a couple games back against the Nuggets, but I like them in this spot. Utah just beat Minnesota at home on Friday and usually that would have me looking to back the Timberwolves. However, I'm going to stick with the hot hand and back the Jazz. Minnesota is soft and it's easy to see why Jimmy Butler wanted out. Sure the Wolves have won 3 of 4, but two of those wins were against the Suns and the other against a Lakers team that is without the best player on the planet. Give me the Jazz -4! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Memphis -1.5) 

I'll take my chances here with Memphis at home against the Knights. This is just too good a price to pass up on the Tigers at home. Memphis is 10-1 at home this season and the only loss came to Tennessee, who is currently the No. 1 team in the country. Had the Tigers not lost last time out at Temple, this line would be at least a few points higher. Either way UCF is getting way too much respect. Take Memphis -1.5! 

40* NBA NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Pacers -4.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Pacers as a small road favorite against the Grizzlies. I think people are hesitant to back Indiana here after they just lost Victor Oladipo to a season-ending knee injury. While that pretty much puts an end to any hope of making it out of the Eastern Conference, I fully expect this team to come out with a chip on their shoulder and show everyone that there's more to them than one guy. No better team to take out your frustrations on than the Grizzlies. Memphis just keeps losing. They are struggling with the idea that both Conley and Gasol could be traded and a lot of times aren't even being competitive. Give me the Pacers -4.5! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Kansas St -4) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with Kansas State as a small road favorite against Texas A&M. The Wildcats come in playing their best basketball of the season. Kansas State has won 5 straight and covered each of their last 4. That includes road wins at Iowa State as a 8.5-point dog and a road win at Oklahoma as a 5 point dog. While the Wildcats are surging, Texas A&m comes in having lost 3 straight and 6 of their last 7. In their last two games at home they have lost by 23 to Missouri and by 19 to Auburn. Give me Kansas State -4! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER ATS SLAUGHTER (Pittsburgh +11) 

I'll take my chances here with the Panthers as a double-digit dog at Louisville. The Cardinals come in having won 4 straight and I think they are way overvalued right now. These two teams already played once this season and Pitt won 89-86 at home as a 3-point dog. I would expect Louisville to win the rematch on their home floor, but there's definitely no guarantee of that. Plus, all we need is for the Panthers to just keep it respectable. Give me Pitt +11! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Mavs -4.5) 

I'll take my chances here with Dallas as a small home favorite against the Pistons. I'll gladly fade Detroit as a small road dog any time I can get, especially against a team like the Mavs who are playing so well at home. Dallas comes in off a 106-98 win and cover at home against the Clippers and that game marked the return of Dennis Smith Jr. Whatever problems Smith and the Mavs were having seem to be fixed at the moment and I just think there's a good chance this game won't be close. Give me Dallas -4.5! 

40* NBA PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Raptors -3.5)

I'll take my chances here with Toronto as a small road favorite against the Rockets. James Harden is scoring the ball at a ridiculous rate and that's getting a ton of publicity, which I believe in turn has Houston overvalued at the books. Harden is scoring so much because he has to. He should be scoring 60+ and the Rockets barely holding for a win against a team like the Knicks. 

I'm excited to see if Kawhi can maybe put an end to this 30+ scoring streak, but either way I think the Raptors will win this game. Houston just isn't the same team without Capella patrolling the paint and Toronto is one of the deepest teams in the league. Give me the Raptors -3.5! 

40* NBA NO DOUBT ATS KNOCKOUT  (Magic -3.5) 

I'll take my chances here with Orlando as a small home favorite. You can never fully trust a bad team like the Magic, but the situation here really favors a cover by the home team. Washington has been a covering machine of late. The Wizards are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 and just snuck in a cover at home against the Warriors last night. 

The problem for Washington is not only are they going to be fatigued from that up-tempo affair against the Warriors on no rest, but there's got to be some letdown going from facing the defending champs on your home court to traveling to face a bad Magic team. 

I'm not about to say Orlando is a good team, but they have been playing better of late and seem motivated to try and make a run at a playoff spot. I think if they show up here they are going to win this game going away. Give me the Magic -3.5! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Oregon -2.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Ducks as a small home favorite against the Huskies. Washington comes in having won 7 straight and are off to a perfect 5-0 start in the Pac-12. Oregon is a team that people have written off after they lost Bol Bol, but there's a lot of talent still on this team and they recently got back one of their better players in Wooten. Not to mention how difficult it is to win at Oregon. Huskies are 2-0 on the road in Pac-12 play, but those two wins came against Utah and Colorado, who are both bottom half of the league. Give me the Ducks -2.5! 

40* NCAAB PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Iowa +5.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Hawkeyes as a home dog against the Spartans. Michigan State is sitting at No. 6 and are a perfect 8-0 in Big Ten play. No doubt this line is shaded their way, which I believe has created big time value with Iowa. The Hawkeyes are playing their best basketball of the season right now, as they come in having won 5 straight. These two played in early December with Michigan State winning by a final of 90-68. It was a much closer game than the final score would indicate and the biggest thing here is the Hawkeyes are extremely tough to beat on their home floor. I actually like Iowa to pull off the upset, but I'll gladly take the points as some added insurance. Give me the Hawkeyes +5.5! 

40* NBA LATE NIGHT ATS MASSACRE (Nuggets +3.5) 

I'll take my chances here with Denver as a dog. I think a lot of people are going to look at this line and be tempted to take Utah as a small home favorite. Even though the Jazz just lost at home to the Blazers, Utah had won 6 straight and were 8-1 in their previous 9. This is team that I think people really like to back at home when they are playing well. The thing is, I think their success of late is a little bit misleading and we saw some of that in their loss to Portland. During that 8-1 run, the 8 wins were against the Cavs, Clippers, Pistons, Bulls, Lakers, Magic, Pistons and Cavs. 

40* NCAAB VEGAS ODDSMAKERS ERROR (Ohio St +1.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Buckeyes as a home dog. I just think we are getting some really good value here with Ohio State in what has to feel like a must-win game. The Buckeyes were sitting pretty at 14-1 and 2-0 in the Big Ten when they started back up conference play in January, but a home loss to Michigan State, back-to-back road setbacks at Rutgers and Iowa, and another home defeat to Maryland has Ohio State sitting at 2-4 in the Big Ten. Add in the fact that their next two games are on the road and this probably is a game they need to have if they want to make the NCAA Tournament. 

50* NCAAB ATS BLOWOUT GAME OF THE MONTH (LSU -11.5) 

I got no problem laying the big number with LSU at home against the Bulldogs. The Tigers are 4-0 in SEC play (covered all 4) and it's time to start taking them seriously. They just whooped South Carolina t home by 22 points. 

Based on what I have seen from Georgia, they got no shot of keeping this close if the Tigers show up to play. The Bulldogs have played 2 conference road games and lost by 15 at Auburn and by 46 at Tennessee. They also have a 10-point loss at home to Florida and a 20-point loss at home to Kentucky. 

Key here is I think LSU is still playing with a chip on their shoulder, as they just got back into the Top 25, something they accomplished earlier this season, but poor play had them back out of the rankings quickly. They aren't getting big heads the second time around. Tigers are also out for revenge. No one on the roster has a win over Georgia, who swept last year's series. That should be more than enough reason for the Tigers to show up. Give me LSU -11.5! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (Pittsburgh +13.5) 

I'll take my chances here with Pittsburgh covering as a double-digit home dog to Duke. The Panthers are one of the most improved teams in the league and a big reason for that is first year head caoch Jeff Capel, who got the job based on the work he did as an assistant under Coack K at Duke. His players are going to play their hearts out for him in this game. Blue Devils are also primed for a letdown off that huge win at home against Virginia. This is also their first road game without starting point guard Tre Jones. Give me Pittsburgh +13.5! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Mavs -4) 

I'll take my chances here with Dallas as a small home favorite against the Clippers. Mavs haven't looked great of late, as they come in having lost 4 straight and are just 5-15 in their last 20. A big part of that is the schedule. Mavs have played an absolutely brutal schedule of late. They have played 12 of their last 18 on the road, where they are 4-20 on the season. Dallas is 16-6 at home and are simply undervalued right now. Clippers come in off a win, but have not been playing well. LA is also expected to be without two of their top 3 scorers in Danilo Gallinari and Lou Williams. Dallas on the other hand is expected to get back Dennis Smith Jr, who hasn't played since early January. Give me the Mavs -4! 

50* NBA NON-CONF GAME OF THE MONTH (76ers -3.5) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the 76ers as a small home favorite against the Rockets. James Harden is playing out of this world and Houston is getting a ton of publicity for it. I think it's definitely playing into their lines and creating value on the other side. Houston has only covered 3 of their lats 8 games and all 3 of those were at home. The other key here is the 76ers are going to be pissed off after suffering a rare home loss last time out to the Thunder. Give me Philadelphia -3.5! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (N Carolina -4) 

I just can't pass up the Tar Heels as a mere 4-point home favorite against the Hokies. Virginia Tech is getting a ton of love from the books due to their impressive start to the season, but they come in having failed to cover 4 straight. They are 4-1 in ACC play, but in their only two conference road games they have lost by 22 at Virginia and snuck out a 3-point win at Georgia Tech as a 7-point favorite. Hokies shot poorly in both road games. As for UNC, I somehow think they are flying under the radar right now. I think Duke is getting so much of the headlines that people are sleeping on this team and I think they make a statement against Virginia Tech. Give me the Tar Heels -4! 

40* NBA SITUATIONAL ATS NO-BRAINER (Wizards -5.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Wizards covering the 5.5 at home against the Pistons. I think a lot of people have written off Washington, not just because of their poor start to the season, but also the fact they lost All-Star point guard John Wall to a season-ending injury. As good as Wall is, I think there were some serious chemistry issues when he was playing and there's no denying the team has played better without him. Wizards are 7-2 ATS last 9 and have covered 5 straight at home, which includes a stretch of 3 straight home covers against the Raptors (lost by 2), Bucks (won by 7) and 76ers (won by 17). Detroit is not very good, play poorly on the road and are coming off a crushing home loss to the Kings. Give me the Wizards -5.5! 

40* NBA PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Lakers +7) 

I'll take my chances with the Lakers covering this thing at Houston. LA just won at OkC as a 10-point dog and the Rockets collapsed in a 142-145 overtime loss to Brooklyn. I've mentioned it a lot lately. I think Houston is running on fumes right now and this ridiculous run Harden is on can only last so long. Lakers have been playing really good defense of late and I think they shoot the ball well here. Give me Los Angeles +7! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Kings -2) 

I'll take my chances here with Sacramento as a small road favorite against the Pistons. I wasn't surprised at all to see the Kings lay an egg in their last game at Charlotte. Now it's time to jump back on the bandwagon. Detroit comes in having won 3 of 4 and covered all 4 during this stretch. I don't trust the Pistons in the slightest and look for them to struggle here playing in the second game of a back-to-back set. Give me the Kings -2! 

40* NCAAB PRIME-TIME NO-BRAINER (Oregon St +4.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Beavers as a small road dog against the Wildcats. I'm just not a fan of Arizona this year, but there's always a premium on the Wildcats, especially at home. I actually like Oregon State to win this game outright. Beavers didn't play their best and still only lost by 3 at Arizona State last time out. Arizona just lost at home to Oregon and we saw them lose at home to Baylor not that long ago. Give me the Beavers +4.5! 

40* NCAAB VEGAS ODDSMAKERS LINE MISTAKE (Ga Tech +5) 

I'll take my chances here with Georgia Tech as a home dog, as I think the Yellow Jackets are going to win this game outright. Louisville had that big win at UNC and then did the tough thing of not suffering a letdown with a win at home over BC. I think they struggle to bring that same intensity on the road against a Georgia Tech team that has been playing much better of late. Yellow Jackets had covered 3 straight before just missing out on a cover in a 12-point loss as a 9-point dog at Clemson. Give me Georgia Tech +5! 

40* KENTUCKY/AUBURN BIG MONEY MASSACRE (Auburn -4)

I'll take my chances here with Auburn covering the small number at home against the Wildcats. The Tigers are a beast at home, where they are 9-0 this season. Auburn is averaging 91.2 ppg and shooting 48% as a team at home this season. Kentucky will struggle to keep pace, as they have not brought the same intensity on defense away from home. Not to mention the atmosphere here will be electric. Give me Auburn -4! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Alabama +14) 

I'll take my chances here with Alabama covering this massive spread at Tennessee. The Volunteers are really good, but this is too many points against a quality opponent. It's simply an inflated number because Tennessee has looked so good and come in having covered 5 straight. I don't think Alabama has enough to pull off the upset, but I think it's a lot closer than expected. Give me the Crimson Tide +14! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Ole Miss -7)

I'll take my chances here with Ole Miss laying it on the Razorbacks at home. The Rebels have been a surprise team, as no one thought they would be 13-3. However, some of the buzz around this team was lost in their last game, which saw them get handled at home by LSU. It happens. I love what Kermit Davis is doing here and this is not a good Arkansas team. Give me the Rebels -7! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Blazers -2.5) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with Portland as a small home favorite against the Pelicans. Blazers just don't seem to get a lot of love, which has them constantly undervalued, especially at home. Portland is 19-7 SU and 16-10 ATS at home. They have covered 4 of their last 5 and have won 5 straight at home. This is just not a good spot for the Pelicans, who are coming off a crushing 7-point loss at Golden State. A game that saw the two teams combined for a ridiculous 287 points. Give me the Blazers -2.5! 

40* NBA SITUATIONAL ATS NO-BRAINER (Wolves -1) 

I'll take my chances here with Minnesota at this price all day. No surprise here to see the Wolves undervalued off a 42-point loss against the 76ers, which had to sting a little more with that being where their old teammate, Jimmy Butler, is playing. I expect a very focused and pissed off Minnesota team to take the floor tonight against the Spurs. San Antonio is playing well, but are not the same team on the road. Wolves are 13-4 ATS last 17 home games vs teams who are giving up 106+ ppg and 9-1 ATS last 10 at home vs teams who are shooting 46% or better from the field. Give me Minnesota -1! 

40* NCAAB FRIDAY NIGHT ATS MASSACRE (Ohio State -3) 

I'll take my chances here with Ohio State bringing home a win and cover here against the Terps. I think this line is a combination of Maryland being overvalued after their 6-1 start to Big Ten play and the Buckeyes being undervalued right now after losing their last 3. Ohio State is just 2-3 in league play and this is one they have to have. The big thing to keep in mind with the Buckeyes slow start in Big Ten play, they have only had two home games and one of those was against Michigan State. Give me the Buckeyes -3! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Arizona State -4.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Sun Devils winning and covering the small number here at home against Oregon State. There's not a lot of room for error for these Pac-12 teams in terms of making the NCAA Tournament. Even with non-conference wins over Kansas and Mississippi State, a lackluster showing in Pac-12 play will likely keep them out. Coming off an ugly loss at Stanford this feels like a must-win for Bobby Hurley's team and I fully expect them to come through. Give me Arizona State -4.5!

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Washington -9.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Huskies winning by at least 10 at home against the Cardinal. Washington is one of the top teams in the Pac-12, which is way down this year. Huskies are a perfect 3-0 in Pac-12 play and 2 of the first 3 have been on the road. They won by 18 in that lone home game against Washington State. They also won by 16 as a mere 2-point favorite at Utah and by 7 as a 2.5-point dog at Colorado. Stanford comes in off a home win over ASU, but the Cardinal are not good. Stanford is just 2-7 in road games. They have played 2 on the road in the Pac-12 and lost by 22 at UCLA and by 11 at USC. Washington is a perfect 8-0 at home and I think there's some big motivation here after getting swept by Stanford in the two games last year. Give me the Huskies -9.5! 

40* NCAAB PUBLIC ATS MASSACRE (Oregon +5) 

I'll take my chances here with Oregon keeping this closer than expected and cashing in a cover here as a small road dog. I actually think there's a decent chance the Ducks win this outright. A lot of people wrote off Oregon after they lost big man Boi Bol, but there is still a ton of talent on this roster and one guy that is really making a difference right now is 5-star true freshman Louis King, who is just now rounding into form after missing time early with a knee injury. The other thing is the Ducks can get after you defensively and that's what makes them a dangerous road team. Give me Oregon +5! 

40* NCAAB SITUATIONAL ATS KNOCKOUT (Georgia Tech +9) 

I'll take my chances here with the Yellow Jackets at this price. Not much was expected of Georgia Tech and we can see how undervalued they have been with their 12-4 ATS mark and 5-0 ATS record on the road. Clemson on the other hand was expected to be stronger and they are 4-12 ATS overall with a 2-7 ATS mark at home. I would give the edge to the Tigers in winning the game, but I don't think it's out of the question that the Yellow Jackets pull off the upset. I mean we just saw Georgia Tech win 73-59 at Syracuse. The same Orange team that beat Clemson at home 61-53. GIve me the Yellow Jackets +9! 

40* NBA PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Nets +5) 

This is just one of those lines that you look at and know the public is going to flock to laying the short number at home with the Rockets. Houston has been trending in the right direction and come in having won 5 straight in the series, including a 119-111 win at Brooklyn back in early November. Not to mention James Harden is playing out of his mind right now. Harden just scored 57 on Monday against the Grizzlies to pass Kobe Bryant and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with his 17th straight 30-point game.   

What I think the books are expecting is for Houston to really struggle to win this game at home. Right before their game on Monday against Memphis, the Rockets learned that Clint Cappella would miss at least a month when they were hoping for a lot less. That’s a huge blow to this team, as they are already without two starters in Chris Paul and Eric Gordon.  I think this team was already running on fumes before Capella went down. While the Rockets get Tuesday off, this will still be their 3rd game in the last 4 days. Houston also hasn’t had more than 1-day off at a time since they were out of action the first two days of this month. This will be their 8th game in 14 days.  

The other key here is Brooklyn has quietly been playing very well over the last 5+ weeks. Starting with a 106-106 overtime win against the Raptors on Dec. 7th, the Nets have gone 14-5 in their last 19 games, which is exactly the same record for the Rockets over their last 19. Last time out Brooklyn got the Celtics best shot and held on for a 109-102 win, so the confidence with this team is through the roof right now. I think they will be extremely motivated to not just  keep that momentum going, but they also will be out for revenge and excited to try and put an end to this Harden scoring streak. 

I’m not sayin I think the Nets are the better team, I just think given the circumstances, Brooklyn simply wants this game a lot more and while it’s hard to see, there’s some value with the line here.The Nets are 4-1 ATS last 5 vs a team from the West and a perfect 4-0 in their last 4 trips to Houston. Give me Brooklyn +5! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Celtics -2) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with Boston as a small home favorite against the Raptors. The Celtics come in desperate for a win after losing 3 straight and I just think playing a big time opponent like Toronto is just what they need to get on track. Keep in mind that all 3 of their losses during this losing streak were on the road and it started with a game at Miami on no rest. 

Toronto comes in having won 5 straight, but are really hurting with injuries. Valanciunas and Anunoby are both out, while Miles and VanVleet are both questionable. Celtics are 14-5 ATS as a home favorite this season and 12-3 ATS at home with a line of +3 to -3. Give me Boston -2!  

40* NCAAB VEGAS ODDSMAKERS INSIDER (Penn St -1) 

I'll take my chances here with Penn State. Iowa is No. 23 and come in having won 3 straight, including home wins over ranked Nebraska and Ohio State teams, as well as a road win at Northwestern. Penn State on the other hand has lost 4 straight and are winless at 0-6 in Big Ten Play. I think the books could have made Iowa a 1-point favorite and they would have still got all kinds of action on the Hawkeyes, but making them a dog is begging the public to take them.

That tells me that Penn State is without a doubt the right side in this one. A closer look and you can start to see why. While Iowa won at Northwestern in their last road game, this is a team that has really struggled in true road games of late. That was just the 5th win in a true road game since the start of the 2016-17 season for Iowa. Their only other true road games this season were a 16-point loss at Purdue and a 22-point loss at Michigan State. They were 1-10 in true road games last year.

I think you also have to add in just how much this game means to Penn State. While the damage has probably already been done, this has to feel like a must-win for the Nittany Lions. Penn State is also not as bad as their record, especially in conference. 3 of their losses in the Big Ten are by 6 points or less. This is also a team that has had to face Maryland, Alabama, Michigan and Nebraska all on the road. They also have had to host two of the better teams in the league in Wisconsin and Michigan State. This is still that same team that upset Virginia Tech at home in the ACC/Big Ten challenge and that’s the only loss the Hokies have suffered, as they enter Tuesday 14-1 and No. 9 in the country.  

Iowa doesn’t just struggle to win on the road, they are a mere 4-11-1 ATS in their last 16 road games overall and the home teams is 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Give me Penn State -1

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Warriors -1) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with Golden State at basically a pick'em at Denver. The Nuggets have held claim to the No. 1 seed in the West for most of the season, but the Warriors can take over the top spot with a win tonight. It takes a lot for Golden State to really get up for a regular-season game, but this is one they will be ready to go. Keep in mind they already lost at Denver earlier this season, so there's no looking past this team this time around. Warriors have also picked their game up of late, as they have won 6 of 7 and come in having scored 119 or more points in 6 straight. Give me Golden State -1! 

40* VEGAS ODDSMAKERS ATS MASSACRE (Ole Miss -4) 

I'll take my chances here with Ole Miss laying a short number at home against LSU. Kermit Davis is doing big things with this Rebels team and I just think they are still being undervalued. All they have done is win on the road at Vandy by 10, put it on Auburn by 15 at home and then go back on the road and take down in-state rival Mississippi State. LSU is a good team, but I think this is a tough spot with it being their second straight on the road and the Rebels a perfect 7-0 at home. Give me Ole Miss -4! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Miss St -4.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Bulldogs in what has to feel like a must-win after starting out 0-2 in SEC play and the next two coming on the road against Vandy and Kentucky. Gators are simply not as good as we thought they would be and are coming off a tough loss at home to Tennessee, where they couldn't hold on to a lead late. Mississippi State was 9-0 at home before losing to Ole Miss, so chances are they return to form at the Humphrey Coliseum. Give me the Bulldogs -4.5! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Kings -2.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Kings laying a short number here at home against the Blazers. I've been on Sacramento a lot, as I really like what I have seen from this young nucleus they have put together. Kings have covered 4 of their last 5 and won 3 straight at home. Portland just played a up-tempo game last night at Denver and are not a great road team to begin with. I think the Blazers struggle to keep this close. Give me the Kings -2.5! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Oklahoma St -3) 

I'll take my chances here with Oklahoma State as a small home favorite against Baylor. I think we are seeing some value here with the Cowboys because of the fact that they just recently went on a streak where they failed to cover 8 straight. However, they have covered their last 2, beating Texas at home as a 3.5-point dog and winning as a 7-point dog at West Virginia. I'm way down on Baylor this season and they are lucky they aren't 0-3. Tough spot as well for the Bears off a crushing home loss to Kansas on Saturday. Give me the Cowboys -3! 

40* NBA NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Kings -5) 

I really like this Kings team and love them in this spot, as I think they are highly motivated to win and will be catching Charlotte in a really tough spot. The Hornets are in the midst of a lengthy road trip and this will be their 5th straight on the road. They also are on no rest after playing last night in Portland and there's no doubt this west coast trip takes a lot more out of teams from the east. Hornets have failed to cover 5 of their last 6 vs a team from the west are 6-21-1 in their last 28 off a loss by 10 or more and 0-6 ATS last 6 on the road vs a team with a winning home record. Give me the Kings -5! 

40* NBA BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (Bulls +11.5) 

Chicago comes in off a ugly 146-109 loss at Golden State last night, while Utah won and easily covered in a 113-95 victory at home over LA last night. Who do you think the public is going to take here? The key thing with the Bulls loss is that game was over by the end of the 1st quarter, so Chicago was able to limit players minutes. Utah didn't quite have that luxury and I think they have a hard time going from playing a game on ESPN to trying to get up for this Bulls team. Keep in mind Utah is playing short-handed with their top 3 point guards all out with injuries. Give me Chicago +11.5! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (St. John's -9) 

I'll gladly lay single digits with the Red Storm at home against DePaul. While St. John's is 14-2 and ranked in the Top 25, I still think they are flying under the radar because of how poor they were a year ago. Sitting at 2-2 in Big East play and off a crushing loss at Villanova, St Johns is going to be locked in and that's all we need for them to cover this number. Red Storm are a perfect 9-0 at home where they outscoring teams by almost 20 points/game. Give me St. John's -9.5! 

40* NCAAB PUBLIC ATS MASSACRE (Florida State +8) 

There's no denying that Duke is a great team and without question the team to beat come March, but winning on the road is not easy, especially against a team as talented as Florida State and we know the Seminoles are going to give the Blue Devils their best shot at home. One thing that gets overlooked with Duke and their schedule to this point is they have not played a true road game outside of their home state. I not only think the Seminoles cover, but they got a shot here to win outright. Give me Florida State +8! 

40* NBA LATE NIGHT ATS KNOCKOUT (Lakers +8) 

I'll take my chances here with Los Angeles covering the near double-digit spread against Utah on Friday. Lakers young guns are playing well right now and I'm confident they will come out with some serious fight in a game that will televised on ESPN. The even bigger thing here is the injury situation for Utah. Starting point guard Ricky Rubio and backup point guards Dante Exum and Raul Neto are all out with injuries. I think the Jazz' depth will be tested and keep in mind that while they come in off a 13-point win over the Magic, they gave up 63 points and trailed by 17 at the half. Neto also played 31 minutes in that game before hurting his groin. Give me the Lakers +8.

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Wolves -4.5) 

I'll take my chances here with Minnesota covering what I feel is a really small number at home. I've really liked what I've seen from the Timberwolves under interim head coach Ryan Saunders. You could really see how much the players liked the guy with how they celebrated his first win and players were also praising his in-game coaching. I just don't think it's asking a lot for Minnesota to win here at home against a Mavs team that is simply atrocious on the road. Dallas is 3-18 away from home this season, giving up 113 ppg. T-Wolves are scoring 114 ppg at home. Give me Minnesota -4.5! 

40* NBA PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Wizards +6) 

I'll take my chances here with Washington as a home dog against the Bucks. There's no denying that Milwaukee is playing great basketball, but I think we are seeing the Bucks overvalued here on the road off their big win over the Rockets. It's one thing to show up on the road against a top tier team like Houston. It's another to face a team like Washington that is a mere 17-25 overall and without one of their best players in John Wall. The thing is the Wizards have been playing very well in Wall's absence and are going to be the more hungry team in this one. Give me Washington +6! 

40* NCAAB PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Illinois +9.5) 

I'm not about to sit here and tell you Michigan isn't any good and won't win this game at Illinois. I just think the number here is too good to pass up. As good as the Wolverines are, it's not easy winning on the road in conference play, especially in the Big Ten. They barely squeaked out a 62-60 win at Northwestern, which is their only conference road game to date. Illinois is 0-4 in Big Ten play, but none of those were on their home floor. This team has been a lot more competitive than their 4-11 record would suggest and I think it's going to be really easy for Michigan to overlook this team and end up in a bit of a dogfight. Give me the Fighting Illini +9.5! 

40* NCAAB VEGAS ODDSMAKER ERROR (Tulsa +7) 

I'll take my chances here with the Golden Hurricane at worst keeping this thing within the number and I wouldn't be shocked at all if they won this game outright. Tulsa hasn't lost at home yet this year, as they are 9-0 and that includes wins over a couple of quality Big 12 teams in Kansas State and Oklahoma State. Cincinnati just lost as a 17.5-point favorite at East Carolina and shot just 37.3% in their previous true road game at Mississippi State. That's not the kind of performance you would expect from a team laying this kind of number on the road. Give me Tulsa +7! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (TCU +6.5) 

I'll take my chances here with TCU keeping it within the number here against the Jayhawks. I think the perception here is that Kansas will bounce back from that ugly 17-point road loss to Iowa State and the books have inflated the line knowing that. I'm not convinced the Jayhawks will bounce back. They are extremely fortunate to be sitting at 12-2, as so many of their wins have come in closely contested games that could have went either way. TCU is a really good team and can light it up on the offensive side of the ball. Give me the Horned Frogs +6.5! 

50* NCAAB BIG EAST GAME OF THE MONTH (Seton Hall -3) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Pirates as a small home favorite against the Bulldogs. I just think Seton Hall is a lot better than they are getting credit for. I mean we have already seen this team win true road games over the likes of Maryland and Xavier, as well as a neutral site victory against Kentucky. 

Butler comes in off a blowout win over Creighton at home, but prior to that lost at home to Georgetown and were annihilated at Florida, who they beat early in the season on a neutral court. Bulldogs are just 2-4 SU and ATS on the road and I don't see them improving that mark tonight. Give me the Pirates -3! 

40* VEGAS ODDSMAKER LINE MISTAKE (Syracuse -3) 

I'll take my chances here with the Orange as a small home favorite against the Tigers. Syracuse comes in having won 3 straight and I just think they are flying under the radar right now. Clemson on the other hand is fresh off a 21-point loss at Duke and I just haven't been impressed enough with this team to think they can go into the Carrier Dome and get a win. Give me the Orange -3! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Nets -9) 

I'll take my chances here with Brooklyn laying it on the Nets at home. Atlanta is a bad team to begin with and have to be running on fumes right now. Hawks will be playing in the second game of a back-to-back road set, as well as their 3rd game in 4 nights. Last night they were at the Raptors, which they showed up for in honor of veteran teammate Vince Carter, as that figures to be the last time he plays in Toronto. While Atlanta is due to not show up, Brooklyn should be all business after getting embarrassed last time out at Boston. Give me the Nets -9! 

40* NBA SITUATIONAL VEGAS INSIDER (Pacers +6.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Pacers covering the number on the road against the Celtics. I think we are getting a good price on Indiana due to the fact the Pacers will be without Myles Turner. The thing is, Indiana is a deep team and can sustain that loss with the likes of youngster Domantas Sabonis stepping into a bigger role. Boston has won 3 straight, but all at home against teams who struggle on the road. Pacers have 13 road wins and while a win here will be tough, I see this coming down to the wire. Give me Indiana +6.5! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Auburn -3) 

I'll take my chances here with Auburn as a small road favorite against the Rebels. I think we are seeing a much smaller line than we would if this was later on in conference play, as Ole Miss is getting a ton of love from their 11-2 start. I also think the Rebels are at a disadvantage here hosting Auburn in the Tigers conference opener, as I might be tempted to take Ole Miss if this was in February and Auburn was coming off a big game, but the Tigers haven't played in 10 days. I expect to see the best Auburn has to offer in this one. Give me the Tigers -3! 

40* NCAAB PUBLIC ATS SHOCKER (Rutgers +6.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Scarlet Knights as a decently priced home dog against Ohio State. I think Rutgers is a lot better than they are getting credit for and will be extremely motivated to tray and get that first conference win an avoid the 0-4 start in league play. I think they are catching the Buckeyes at a good time, as Ohio State is coming off a huge game against Michigan State at home, which they lost by 9. I actually wouldn't be shocked if Rutgers won this game outright. Give me the Scarlet Knights +6.5! 

40* NCAAB SITUATIONAL ATS NO-BRAINER (LSU -6) 

I'll take my chances here with LSU at home against the Crimson Tide. Alabama is primed for a huge letdown after upsetting Kentucky on their home court and the Tigers are a perfect 8-0 at home and out for some serious revenge against the Crimson Tide. Both teams are 10-3, but the losses for Alabama came against Northeastern, UCF and Georgia St. LSU's 3 losses are against FSU, Houston and Oklahoma St. Tigers should win here by double-digits. Give me LSU -6! 

40* NBA VEGAS UNDERDOG PLAY OF THE WEEK (Wolves +8)

I'll take my chances here with the Wolves as a near double-digit dog at OKC. I'm expecting a big effort here from Minnesota after the recent firing of head coach Tom Thibodeau. It's also not like the Wolves weren't playing well leading up to the firing, as they had just won back-to-back games by double-digits at home against the Magic and Lakers. OKC just lost at home by 18 to the Wizards and I just think the Thunder are running on fumes right now. This will be just the 7th home game for OKC since Dec. 3rd. Give me Minnesota +8! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Minnesota -1.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Golden Gophers at just a pick'em at home against the Terps. I've been really high on Minnesota this year and they haven't disappointed. The Gophers are 12-2 on the season and fresh off a win at Wisconsin as a 9-point dog. They have won 6 straight and this will be the toughest true road game for this young Maryland team so far this season. Give me the Gophers -1.5! 

50* NCAAB SEC GAME OF THE MONTH (Missouri +8) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with Missouri as a near double-digit home dog against the Volunteers. Tennessee is a really good team, but they are way overvalued here on the road off that ridiculous 46-point win at home against Georgia. Tigers are 7-1 at home and this is only the second true road game of the season for the Vols. The other was at Memphis where they were also an 8-point favorite. Missouri is way better than Memphis and are playing their best basketball right now with a 6-game winning streak that includes wins over UCF, Xavier and Illinois. Give me the Tigers +8!  

40* NBA LATE NIGHT ATS MASSACRE (Kings -5.5) 

I'll take my chances here with Sacramento as a 5.5-point home favorite against Orlando. This is the ideal spot to fade the Magic. Orlando is playing 5th straight on the road, as they continue on their 6-game road trip. They just played yesterday in LA against the Clippers, so they will be on no rest. This is also their 3rd game in 4 nights, so there's not a lot left in the tank. Kings have lost 4 straight, but have played well in defeat and are primed for a bounce back at home against an inferior opponent. Give me the Kings -5.5! 

40* NBA VEGAS ODDSMAKERS LINE MISTAKE (Spurs -3) 

I'll take my chances here with San Antonio laying a mere 3-points on the road against the Pistons. I get the Spurs aren't the best of road teams, but they are 12-3 over their last 15 games. I think this team has really figured some things out and are a lot better than they get credit for. There's people still talking about whether this is a playoff team or not. That's just more fuel for the fire and it's not like Detroit is playing well. The Pistons are 4-13 in their last 17 games. Give me the Spurs -3! 

40* NBA NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Wizards +10) 

I'll take my chances here with Washington as a double-digit dog. The Wizards are getting zero love right now. Washington wasn't playing great basketball to begin with and then lost John Wall to a season-ending injury. Whenever a team loses a key guy to injury, there always seems to be an immediate stretch where they play extra hard to show they are more than the guy who got hurt. Wizards have covered 3 straight and I expect them to play hard here. OKC is a really good team, but are back-to-back prime time road wins over the Lakers and Blazers. Big letdown spot here. Give me the Wizards +10! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER BOOKIE SLAUGHTER (Iowa +3.5)

Give me the Hawkeyes as a home dog all day long. As bad as Iowa can look on the road, they can look just as good at home. I'm not the least bit concerned with the Hawkeyes coming off a bad road loss to Purdue. If anything, it's created exceptional value on this line, as I don't see Nebraska as the kind of team that should be laying points on the road in conference play. Especially against a quality team like Iowa, who has beat a number of good teams this year. This one also means more to the Hawks, who desperately want to avoid an 0-4 start in league play. Give me Iowa +3.5! 

40* NBA NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Pelicans -8) 

We cashed in on Utah last night as a 8-point road favorite against the Cavs and will make the same play here with the Pelicans. Cleveland is the worst team in the league and their struggles are only being compounded by all the guys they have out of the lineup. They shot just 39% in a 26-point home loss to the Jazz last night, which was their 8 straight loss overall, none of which have been close. Give me the Pelicans -8! 

50* NCAAB PAC-12 GAME OF THE MONTH (Arizona State -7) 

I'll take my chances here with the Sun Devils bouncing back with a dominating performance here at home against a pretty sub-par Colorado team. Arizona State comes in off back-to-back hard fought losses at home to Princeton and Utah, which came right after their big upset win over Kansas. I think this team maybe got a big head after beating the Jayhawks and after being humbled in their last two will be 100% locked in for this one. Give me the Sun Devils -7!
