04-14-22 | Coyotes v. Canucks -1.5 | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 25 h 20 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Vancouver. The Canucks aren't going to the playoffs, but don't tell them that. They appear to be determined to keep fighting until the final whistle. They have won four straight, and one of those wins came at Arizona by a score of 5-1. Elias Petterson scored a goal and two assists in that game, and he has four goals and six assists during the Canucks four game winning streak. The Coyotes have lost five of their last six games, and all five of those losses came by 2+ goals. The Canucks have won four of the last five head to head meetings, and all four wins came by 2+ goals. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-14-22 | Blue Jays +1.5 v. Yankees | 0-3 | Loss | -160 | 24 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Toronto. The Blue Jays took a 2-1 series lead with a 6-4 win in Game 2 in the Bronx, and they look good as the underdog in the series finale Thursday. Kevin Gausman will toe the slab for Toronto, and he was dealing last season. He went 14-6 with a 2,81 ERA in 33 starts for San Francisco. If you think pitching in the Giants pitcher friendly park had something to do with it, think again. He was 8-2 with a 2.33 ERA in 19 starts on the road. The Yankees hand the ball to Luis Severino, who is coming back from a tough battle with injuries. He only last three innings, allowing a pair of runs on five hits versus Boston in his season debut. Vladdy Jr. is coming off a three home run performance in Game 3, and the Jays have won five of their last six in the Bronx. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 5* play on Seattle. |
|||||||
04-13-22 | Hornets v. Hawks -180 | 103-132 | Win | 100 | 54 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Atlanta. The Hawks host the Charlotte Hornets in the play-in game Wednesday, and home court advantage should be key in this game. The Hawks are 6-0 ATS in their last six games as a favorite, and they are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games as a home favorite. Atlanta had as many home wins as the Milwaukee Bucks (27) during the regular season. Trae Young finished the season strong, averaging 31 points per game in his last five starts. He averaged four points more at home than he does on the road. The Hornets will miss Gordon Hayward, and wiithout him it will be tough to keep up with high scoring Hawks in Atlanta. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-12-22 | Astros -130 v. Diamondbacks | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 23 h 19 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Houston. The Astros are off to a hot start, winning three of four in LA. They will be a favorite in Game 1 in Arizona, but I think the price should be far higher. Madison Bumgarner will toe the slab for the D'Backs, and he didn't look sharp in his season debut. He only went three innings, allowing one run on a hit and four walks in a no decision versus San Diego. The Astros hand the ball to Luis Garcia, who was stellar in his rookie season. He was 11-8 with a 3.30 ERA in 30 starts last year. He looked sharp in the Spring, tossing 5 2/3 scoreless innings and striking out six in his only start. The Diamondbacks are 5-14 in their last 19 home games, and they are 18-40 in their last 58 games as a home underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-12-22 | Clippers +140 v. Wolves | 104-109 | Loss | -100 | 33 h 8 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Clippers. Normally I would take a look at stats and trends in my analysis, but in the case of the Clippers the numbers don't seem all that relevant. Norman Powell (they call him Playoff Powell in Toronto) missed all but two games in the second half of the season, and since his return he's averaged 22 points and the Clippers won both games. Paul George only played in five games after the All Star break, but he's ready to go for the playoffs. Veteran forward Marcus Morris has also missed a significant portion of the season. but he's also healthy in time for the playoffs. Minnesota has enjoyed success in the regular season, but I am reminded of Jimmy Butler's final days in Minnesota. In his final practice with the team he told Karl Anthony Towns that he was "as soft as a baby's sh#t". Jimmy has since backed up his talk, but the verdict is still out on KAT and the rest of the T-Pups. I'll take the more experienced Clippers as a dog. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-11-22 | Blue Jays +1.5 v. Yankees | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 18 h 36 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Toronto. The Blue Jays take on the Yankees in the Bronx on Monday, and they might have an advantage on the mound in Game 1. Alek Manoah will toe the slab for Toronto, and he is coming off a fantastic rookie season. He was 1-0 with a 2.21 ERA in two starts against the Yankees. The Yankees hand the ball to Jameson Taillon, who struggled against the Blue Jays last year. He was 0-2 with a 6.23 ERA in three starts versus the Jays. Vladdy Jr. and Bo Bichette are each 3-for-7 lifetime versus Taillon. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-10-22 | Heat v. Magic +12 | 111-125 | Win | 100 | 17 h 29 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Orlando. The Heat have already clinched first place in the East, so this is a meaningless game in Orlando. Jimmy Butler didn't travel with the team, and this should be a game where the starters give way to the backups. The Magic won their last home game by a score of 120-115 over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Heat have only covered twice in their last seven games at Orlando, and the Magic look good as a double digit home dog in a meaningless game. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-10-22 | Marlins v. Giants UNDER 8 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 13 h 7 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Marlins have earned a split in the first two games of this series in San Francisco, and we can expect the rubber match to be a pitcher's duel. Trevor Rogers will toe the slab for the Fish, and he had a stellar 2021 season. He was 7-8 with a 2.64 ERA in 25 starts. The Giants hand the ball to Anthony Desclafani, who was 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA in 31 starts for the Giants last year. He allowed one run on four hits in six innings in his only start versus Miami. The under is 19-7-1 in the Giants last 27 during Game 3 of a series. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-09-22 | Red Sox +1.5 v. Yankees | 2-4 | Loss | -125 | 17 h 5 m | Show | |
This is a 9* play on Boston +1.5. The Yankees rallied to win Game 1 in extra innings, and we can expect another battle here in Game 2 in the Bronx. Luis Severino will toe the slab for the Bronx Bombers, and he's only managed to start a handful of games over the last three seasons. He started three games this Spring posting an ERA of 8.22. The Red Sox hand the ball to Nick Pivetta, who is coming off a very solid 2021. He got plenty of work this Spring, and he impressed by going 1-1 with a 3.45 ERA and striking out 22 batters in 15 2/3 innings. The Red Sox are 8-3 in their last 11 games versus a right-handed starter. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-09-22 | Rangers v. Blue Jays -175 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 17 h 20 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on TOR. The Blue Jays gave the Rangers a seven run head start just for fun, but it didn't matter as they came back to win Game 1 by score of 10-8. Dane Dunning will toe the rubber for the Rangers in Game 2, and this appears to be a daunting task for a guy who didn't win a game on the road last year. He was 0-7 with a 6.39 ERA in a dozen starts on the road in 2021. The Blue Jays hand the ball to Kevin Gausman, who was a Cy Young candidate a year ago. He was 14-6 with a 2.81 ERA with the Giants last season. The Rangers have lost seven of their last eight in Toronto. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-09-22 | Pirates v. Cardinals -167 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 20 h 0 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on STL. The Cardinals won Game 1 of this home series versus Pittsburgh by a score of 9-0, and Game 2 looks like another mismatch. Miles Mikolas will toe the slab for St. Louis, and he's coming off a fantastic Spring. He was 3-0 with a 2.08 ERA in three starts. The Pirates hand the ball to Mitch Keller, who looked sharp in Spring Training. Keller didn't pitch particularly well against the Cardinals last year, with an ERA over 6.00. The Pirates ranked dead last in the majors in scoring last season. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-08-22 | Padres v. Diamondbacks UNDER 9.5 | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 21 h 26 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under 9.5. The Padres look to bounce back from an Opening Day loss at Arizona, blowing a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the ninth inning. I am expecting another low score in Game 2. Sean Manaea will toe the slab for San Diego, and he pitched well against Arizona last year. He only faced them once, allowing no runs and just two hits in six innings in a win. The D'Backs hand the ball to Merrill Kelly, who has great numbers against the Padres. He was 2-1 with a 2.25 ERA in three starts versus San Diego last year. The under is 5-2 in the Padres last seven games following a loss. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-08-22 | Hornets v. Bulls -130 | 133-117 | Loss | -130 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Chicago. The Bulls have faded in the second half of the season, and they come into tonight's home game against Charlotte off three straight losses. Those losses came against Milwaukee, Boston and Miami, the top three teams in the East. The Hornets have already clinched a spot in the play-in, and right now their top priority might be staying healthy. Gordon Hayward is not expected to play as he rests his foot injury. The Bulls don't want to take a losing streak into the playoffs, so they should go all out tonight. The Bulls are 24-7 ATS in their last 31 games as a home favorite, while the Hornets have failed to cover in five straight when playing the second game of a back to back. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-07-22 | Padres v. Diamondbacks +1.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 30 h 17 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Arizona +1.5. The D'Backs will be a home underdog on Opening Day against the Padres, and I feel that San Diego is overvalued here. Yu Darvish will toe the slab for San Diego, and he didn't pitch well in 2021. He was 8-11 with a 4.22 ERA in 30 starts. He was 0-2 with a 6.65 ERA in five starts versus Arizona. The D'Backs hand the ball to Mad Bum, who pitched well in the second half of last season. The Padres are 3-14 in their last 17 during Game 1 of a series. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-07-22 | Astros +1.5 v. Angels | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 30 h 15 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on Houston +1.5. The Astros will be an underdog on the road at LA on Opening Day, but I think expectations might be too high for the Angels. Framber Valdez will toe the slab for Houston, and his numbers were better on the road than they were at home last year. He owned LA, going 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA in two starts versus the Angels. The Halos hand the ball to Shohei Ohtani, who is the favorite to repeat as AL MVP. He didn't have much luck against the Astros last season, going 0-1 with a 6.10 ERA in two starts versus Houston. Houston has won six of their last eight at Angel Stadium. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-07-22 | Reds +1.5 v. Braves | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 45 h 47 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Reds +1.5. The Atlanta Braves will be a heavy favorite on Opening Day, but a World Series hangover is a bit of a concern. Max Fried will toe the slab for Atlanta, and he had an outstanding 2021 season. He was 0-1 with a 6.43 ERA in two starts this Spring, and he isn't expected to go deep into the ballgame so early in the season. The Reds hand the ball to Tyle Mahle, who got plenty of work this Spring. He started four games, going 2-0 with a 3.38 ERA. He was 8-2 with a 2.30 ERA in 18 starts on the road last season. The Braves lineup has hit just .189 against Mahle. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-07-22 | Pirates v. Cardinals UNDER 8.5 | 0-9 | Loss | -125 | 25 h 24 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Cardinals will be a big favorite on Opening Day at home versus Pittsburgh, but historically this matchup hasn't been as easy as you might think. The Pirates have won five of the last seven at Busch Stadium. Adam Wainwright will toe the slab for St. Louis, and he's coming off a fantastic 2021 season. He dominated the Pirates, going 4-0 with a 0.30 ERA in four starts against Pittsburgh. The Pirates hand the ball to JT Brubaker, who appears to be primed to be the ace in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh ranked dead last in the Major Leagues in runs scored last season. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
04-07-22 | Indians v. Royals +1.5 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 41 h 43 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Royals +1.5. Cleveland will be the favorite on Opening Day in Kansas City, but I think the home team is getting disrespected here. Shane Beiber will toe the slab for the Guardians, and while he won the Cy Young in 2020, he is coming off a mediocre 2021 season. Beiber was 0-2 with a 13.50 ERA in two starts this pre-season. The Royals hand the ball to Zack Greinke, who had a solid season in Houston in 2021. The veteran was 1-0 with a 3.46 ERA in two starts versus Cleveland last season. Only Texas scored more runs than the Royals this Spring. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-05-22 | Spurs v. Nuggets UNDER 234.5 | 116-97 | Win | 100 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Spurs come into Denver as winners of six of their last seven overall, and given the high stakes with just a few games to go in the regular season this might as well be a playoff game. Denver is just a half game up on Utah in the Northwest, and the Spurs are just two games up on the Lakers for the final play-in spot. San Antonio has played solid defense during a five game stretch, allowing an average of just 107.6 points. The total for tonight's game is 10+ points higher than it was in any of the last 10 head to head meetings. The under is 19-9-2 in Spurs last 30 games as a road underdog, and they have failed to reach the total in seven of their last 10 at Denver. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-04-22 | North Carolina +4.5 v. Kansas | Top | 69-72 | Win | 100 | 34 h 52 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on UNC. Here is what I said prior to the Tar Heels Final Four win: "Duke will be the favorite in their Final Four matchup versus North Carolina, and the question is how much better than the Tar Heels is this team. They finished with one more win in the ACC, and they both got eliminated by Virginia Tech in the ACC Tournament. The Tar Heels upset Duke in Coach K's final home game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, and they have been lighting it up in the NCAA Tournament. North Carolina ranked second in the ACC with a three-point percentage of .385, and the Tar Heels ranked first in the conference in free throw shooting hitting over 77%." As good as Kansas is, they aren't unbeatable. They had their hands full with Creighton and Providence in the tournament, and it seems like a big ask to cover and handful of points here in the Final. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-03-22 | Stars -148 v. Seattle Kraken | 1-4 | Loss | -148 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Dallas. As much as I don't like betting on teams playing on back to back nights, the Stars rested their starting goalie in San Jose last night. Starter Jake Oettinger should be back between the pipes tonight in Seattle. The Stars are 6-1 in their last seven overall, and four of those wins came on the road. The Kraken are struggling after trading away their best players at the trade deadline. The Kraken are 5-16 in their last 21 games as a home underdog, and they are 17-40 in their last 57 overall. The Stars are 5-0 in their last five road games, and they are 25-8 in their last 33 games as a favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-02-22 | North Carolina +4.5 v. Duke | 81-77 | Win | 100 | 58 h 40 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on UNC. Duke will be the favorite in their Final Four matchup versus North Carolina, and the question is how much better than the Tar Heels is this team. They finished with one more win in the ACC, and they both got eliminated by Virginia Tech in the ACC Tournament. The Tar Heels upset Duke in Coach K's final home game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, and they have been lighting it up in the NCAA Tournament. North Carolina ranked second in the ACC with a three-point percentage of .385, and the Tar Heels ranked first in the conference in free throw shooting hitting over 77%. The Blue Devils are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite, and I am not sure they are 4.5 points better than UNC. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-02-22 | Villanova v. Kansas UNDER 133 | Top | 65-81 | Loss | -105 | 126 h 27 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Under. Both the Jayhawks and the Wildcats have been outstanding defensively in the Tournament. Kansas has held it's last five opponents to an average of just 60.8 points per game, while Villanova has allowed just 53.6 points per game over their last five. Here in the Final Four the stakes are high, so don't expect either team to waste any time cranking up the defensive intensity. The under is 8-1 in the Wildcats last nine neutral site games, and they have failed to reach the total in four of their last five at the NCAA Tournament. The under is 7-3 in the Jayhawks last 10 overall, and they have also failed to reach the total in four of their last five NCAA Tournament games. GL, Jesse Schule |

04-01-22 | Predators -180 v. Sabres | 3-4 | Loss | -180 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Nashville Predators. Nashville is currently holding one of the Wild Card spots in the Western Conference, but the Vegas Golden Knights are right on their heels trailing by just four points. They can't afford to slip up here in a must win game on the road at Buffalo, where the Sabres have lost two of their last three. Buffalo ranks 25th in the NHL in goals against, and well below average on special teams. The Sabres are not playing for anything other than respect at this point in the season and may have a tough time matching the intensity of a team hungry to earn a playoff spot. The Predators are 35-16 in their last 51 games as a favorite, and they are 8-1 in the last nine meetings in Buffalo. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-31-22 | Clippers v. Bulls -144 | 130-135 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Chicago. The Bulls were sitting in first place in the Eastern Conference earlier in the season, but they have slipped all the way to 5th in the East, trailing first place Miami by 4.5 games. They appear to be primed to finish strong, with most of their starting lineup healthy and DeMar Derozan scoring 30+ in back to back games. The Clippers have failed to cover in five of their last six overall, and they are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as an underdog. The Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last five versus the Clippers, and they are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games. Chicago is also 23-7 ATS in their last 30 games as a home favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-30-22 | Golden Knights -156 v. Seattle Kraken | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the VGK. The Golden Knights have now slipped out of a playoff spot, trailing Dallas by one point for the final Wild Card position. This makes tonight's game in Seattle a must win for the visitors, but the good news is that Seattle is just 5-15 in their last 20 home games. The Kraken are 7-24 in their last 31 games as an underdog, and they have failed to cover in 11 of their last 13 as a home dog. This is it for Vegas, do or die against an inferior opponent. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-29-22 | Washington State v. Texas A&M -125 | 56-72 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on TAM. The Aggies won seven straight games before losing to Tennessee in the SEC Tournament, and they felt slighted not to be invited to the Big Dance. They are taking it out on their opponents here in the NIT, and they have Semi Final matchup tonight against the Washington State Cougars. The Cougars are coming off a blowout win at BYU, but they are just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games following an ATS win. The Aggies are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall, and they have covered in five of their last seven at a neutral site. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-27-22 | St. Peter's v. North Carolina -8 | 49-69 | Win | 100 | 31 h 13 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on UNC. There isn't a lot of room left on the St. Peters bandwagon, as it seems that everyone is a die hard Peacocks fan these days. It's impossible not to give them credit for making the Elite-8, but the road to the Final Four has a major obstacle ahead. North Carolina has scored an average of 87 points per game in the tournament so far, including a 93-86 win over defending champs and #1 seed Baylor. North Carolina ranked second in the ACC with a three-point percentage of .385, and the Tar Heels ranked first in the conference in free throw shooting hitting over 77%. Everyone loves a Cinderella Story, but we all know how it ends. The clock is about to strike midnight for the Peacocks. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-27-22 | Miami-FL +6.5 v. Kansas | 50-76 | Loss | -115 | 28 h 22 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Miami. While the Hurricanes are one of the few remaining teams that were not projected to be here, keep in mind that they finished just two games behind Duke and a game back of North Carolina in the ACC this year. They beat Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium and won at home versus the Tar Heels. The were bounced from the ACC Tournament in an 80-76 loss to Duke. Kansas survived close games against Creighton and Providence, and they can expect to be challenged once again in the Elite-8 versus Miami. The Hurricanes are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games as an underdog, and the Jayhawks are 1-5 ATS in their last six NCAA Tournament games. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-26-22 | Seattle Kraken v. Kings -198 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 12 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the LA Kings. The Kings are currently sitting in a playoff spot, but they are just a few points ahead of the Wild Card teams. They host the basement dwelling Seattle Kraken tonight, and the Kraken have been dealing players at the trade deadline. While it has been a successful inaugural season for Seattle, that hasn't resulted in too many wins. The Kraken are 6-23 in their last 29 games as an underdog, and they are 1-7 in their last eight games following a win. The Kings are 14-5 in their last 19 games as a favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-26-22 | Arkansas v. Duke UNDER 147.5 | 69-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Razorbacks are coming off an upset win over Gonzaga, holding the nation's #1 offense to just 68 points. They have allowed an average of just 62 points per game in the tournament so far. The under is 7-2 in the Razorbacks last nine NCAA Tournament games, and they have failed to reach the total in five of their last six games as an underdog at a neutral site. Arkansas will rely on their defense here as they are not equipped to match Duke offensively. They rank near the bottom of the SEC in field goal percentage as well as three-point percentage. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-26-22 | Nets -160 v. Heat | 110-95 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on BKN. The Nets still need to go on a winning streak to get into the playoffs, but things appear to be trending in the right direction as Kyrie Irving has been cleared to play in the rest of their home games. We got a preview of what Kyrie and KD can do, as they went off for a combined 78 points. They were on the wrong side of a shootout in Memphis, but they might have more luck here in Miami against a struggling Heat team. The Heat are 0-6 ATS in their last six games overall, and they have failed to cover in five straight home games. The Nets are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 road games. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-25-22 | North Carolina +2.5 v. UCLA | 73-66 | Win | 100 | 140 h 29 m | Show | |
This is a 10* play on UNC. The Tar Heels scored 90+ points in both their first two games of the tournament. UCLA struggled on offense in their first round matchup versus Akron, scoring just 57 points, and they have averaged less than 70 points over their last five games. The Tar Heels are 8-1 in their last nine games overall, and that includes a win at Duke in Coach K's last home game. North Carolina ranked second in the ACC with a three-point percentage of .385, and the Tar Heels ranked first in the conference in free throw shooting hitting over 77%. I will take the hot team as an underdog here. GL, Jesse Schule |
|||||||
03-25-22 | Providence +7.5 v. Kansas | 61-66 | Win | 100 | 55 h 33 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Providence. I bet on the Friars in their win over Richmond, and here is what I said before tip off: "The Friars finished first in the Big East this season with a 14-3 record, half a game ahead of Villanova. The Wildcats are favored by 15 in their first round matchup versus a 15 seed. The Friars are just a slight favorite here against 12 seed Richmond." They won the game by 28 points, and they look good as a big underdog here versus Kansas. The Friars are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as an underdog, and the Jayhawks are 1-4 ATS in their last five NCAA Tournament games. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-24-22 | Texas Tech -115 v. Duke | 73-78 | Loss | -115 | 33 h 3 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Texas Tech. Duke is coming off an 85-76 win over Michigan State, but the final score in that game is a little misleading. The Spartans were in the lead with 2:18 to play, but Duke ended the game with a 12-2 run in the final two minutes. The Red Raiders are coming off a 59-53 win over Notre Dame, and they are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 NCAA Tournament games. The Blue Devils are 1-7 ATS in their last eight NCAA Tournament games. Texas Tech has held their last five opponents to an average of 57 points. Duke can score with the best of them but they can't play defense like Texas Tech. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-24-22 | Michigan v. Villanova -4.5 | 55-63 | Win | 100 | 31 h 32 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Villanova. Michigan has got off to slow starts in both their first two games at the NCAA Tournament, but they have manged to come back and win. That might not be so easy in the Sweet-16 versus Villanova. The Wildcats are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 NCAA Tournament games, and they are 17-4 ATS in their last 21 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite. They beat Ohio State by double digits in their last game, and they have won 12 of their last 13 overall. The Wolverines are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games following an ATS win. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-23-22 | Washington State v. BYU OVER 142 | 77-58 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 22 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The BYU Cougars have scored 90+ points in both of their NIT games so far, and they host a Washington State Cougars team that can also score their share of points. Washington State has averaged 72.6 points per game over their last five, while BYU has scored 81.2 points per game in their last five. The over is 15-7 in the Wazzu Cougars last 22 road games versus a team with a winning home record. The BYU Cougars have gone over in five of their last seven as a favorite. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-23-22 | Devils v. Maple Leafs -1.5 | 2-3 | Loss | -130 | 19 h 48 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Leafs. The Leafs and the Devils are two teams trending in opposite directions. Toronto added more talent at the trade deadline in preparation for a long playoff run, while the Devils are in the middle of a rebuild. New Jersey is coming off a home win over the Rangers, traveling north of the border for the second game of a back to back. The Devils are 17-48 in their last 65 games as an underdog, and 10 of their last 12 losses came in games decided by 2+ goals. The Maple Leafs are 20-7 in their last 27 home games, and they have won seven straight head to head meetings versus the Devils. Six of those seven wins came by 2+ goals. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-22-22 | Hawks v. Knicks UNDER 228 | 117-111 | Push | 0 | 22 h 38 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Hawks are currently sitting in the 10th spot in the Eastern Conference, which has them playing a play-in game to advance to the playoffs. They are only 2.5 games back of 8th place Brooklyn, and if they could move up a few spots then at least their play-in game would be in Atlanta. They will take on the Knicks in New York Tuesday, and the Knicks rank 27th in the NBA averaging just 106 points per game. The under is 5-1 in the Hawks last six road games, and they have failed to reach the total in six of their last eight overall. The under is 5-1 in the Knicks last six games playing on 1 days rest. These teams have failed to reach the total in six of the last eight head to head meetings, and the total for tonight's game is higher than it was in any of the previous 10 meetings.

03-21-22 | Blazers v. Pistons -7 | 119-115 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 54 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Pistons. The Pistons are one of the worst teams in the NBA, so it looks a little strange seeing them such a big favorite here tonight. They host a Portland team that is playing on back to back nights at the end of a road trip on the other side of the country. The Blazers have lost 10 of their last 11 and nine of those 1o losses came by at least nine points. The Trail Blazers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog. The Pistons don't win a lot of games, but they have been playing great lately. This is a chance to get a win at home, and I expect them to take full advantage. The Pistons are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games overall, and they have covered in five of their last six home games. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-19-22 | Richmond v. Providence -150 | Top | 51-79 | Win | 100 | 39 h 47 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Providence. The Friars finished first in the Big East this season with a 14-3 record, half a game ahead of Villanova. The Wildcats are favored by 15 in their first round matchup versus a 15 seed. The Friars are just a slight favorite here against 12 seed Richmond. The Spiders weren't even in the top five in the A-10 this season, but they got hot at the right time and won a close game versus Davidson in the Conference Tournament Final. As well as the Spiders are playing, I believe this line is a product of recency bias. Richmond ranked dead last in the A-10 in rebounds per game, and they weren't a particularly good shooting team. They can muddy it up and play strong defense all they want, but that's not going to be anything new for a Providence team that plays Villanova twice a year. Richmond is the Cinderella, but the clock might strike midnight here and the carriage could turn into a pumpkin. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-19-22 | Creighton v. Kansas UNDER 140.5 | 72-79 | Loss | -114 | 23 h 45 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Blue Jays defense has been impressive, holding Villanova to just 54 points (in a loss) in the Big East Tournament, and then winning 72-69 in OT in their first round game against the Aztecs. Kansas has also been playing great defense lately, holding Texas Tech to 65 points in the BIG12 Tourney Final, and then allowing just 56 points in their first round win over Texas Southern. Both teams have allowed an average of 61.8 points over their last four games. The under is 9-4 in the Bluejays last 13 neutral site games, and the under is 26-12 in the Jayhawks last 38 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite. I think 70 points will be more than enough to win this game. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-18-22 | Colgate v. Wisconsin UNDER 139.5 | 60-67 | Win | 100 | 100 h 53 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. Wisconsin lost 69-63 to Michigan State in the BIG10 Tournament, and I expect to see another low scoring game here in their first round matchup versus Colgate. Wisconsin averaged just 68 points per game in their last five overall, and they have failed to reach the total in four of their last five coming off a loss. The under is 7-2 in the Raiders last nine games as an underdog, and they have failed to reach the total in four of their last five neutral site games. Wisconsin ranked 11th in the BIG10 in scoring, and dead last in the conference in three point shooting. They should lean on their defense here in a matchup versus an inferior opponent. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-18-22 | Davidson v. Michigan State OVER 140 | 73-74 | Win | 100 | 45 h 7 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. Michigan State ranked second in the BIG10 with a three-point field goal percentage of .378. They also shot 74.7 percent from the charity stripe. Davidson ranked third in the A-10 in scoring averaging over 75 points per game, and their .386 three-point percentage was the best in the conference. The over is 4-1 in the Wildcats last five neutral site games, and they have gone over in five of their last six as an underdog. The Spartans have gone over the total in five of their last six overall. I expect both teams to have success shooting from beyond the arc. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-18-22 | Loyola-Chicago v. Ohio State -101 | 41-54 | Win | 100 | 30 h 57 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Ohio State. With all do respect to Loyola Chicago, I think they come into this first round game against the Buckeyes a little overrated. Their magical run to the Final Four in 2018 and last year's team going to the Sweet 16 is still fresh in everyone's memory. They are no longer an underdog, despite the fact that they face a much easier schedule than teams from the Power Five conferences. The Ramblers faced just one ranked team this season, losing 62-53 to Auburn. The Buckeyes played seven games against ranked teams, winning four of those. That includes a win over #1 ranked Duke. The Ramblers still have 102 year old cheerleader Sister Jean, but they won't have Cameron Kurtwig. He's the 6"9 center that looked like a balding 40 year old man playing against neihborhood kids. He was the heart and sould of the Final Four team in 2018. The Buckeyes should have superior depth, talent and coaching, and they should probably be favored by 2-3 points. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-17-22 | Sharks v. Kings -148 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 0 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on LAK. The Kings are currently sitting in a playoff spot, but they are only a few points ahead of the teams chasing a Wild Card spot. There is little margin for error, and they need a win tonight at home against the Sharks. San Jose isn't in the running for a playoff spot, and they are looking to trade players ahead of the trade deadline. The Sharks are 18-38 in their last 56 games as an underdog, and they are 4-12 in their last 16 overall. The Kings are 12-4 in their last 16 games as a favorite, and they are 12-3 in their last 15 versus a team with a losing record. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-17-22 | Indiana v. St. Mary's -145 | 53-82 | Win | 100 | 19 h 52 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on SMC. The Hoosiers lost seven of their last nine regular season games, and if it wasn't for a good showing in the BIG10 Tournament they wouldn't be here. They earned a spot in the play in game and defeated Wyoming in a close game. They shot just 2-of-13 from beyond the arc, and made 60 percent of their free throws. They ranked dead last in the BIG10 in free throw shooting, and that could haunt them here against St. Mary's. The Gaels were just one of three teams to beat the #1 ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs this season. The Gaels are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games as a favorite, and the Hooiers might be a little fatigued here. The Hoosiers are 1-3-1 ATS in the fourth game of a 4-in-7 days situation. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-17-22 | Longwood v. Tennessee OVER 132.5 | 56-88 | Win | 100 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over. The Longwood Lancers will be a huge underdog in their first round matchup versus Tennessee, but you could say they have a "puncher's chance". Or more accurately a shooter's chance. Longwood ranks among the best in the country with a 38 percent three-point percentage, and they shot a solid 72.6 percent from the charity stripe. The over is 11-3 in the Volunteers last 14 neutral site games as a favorite, and the Lancers went over the total in five of their last seven overall. Longwood played Iowa and Georgetown in non-conference play, and both those games saw over 180 points combined. They lost both games, but scored 83 versus the Hoyas and 73 versus the Hawkeyes. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-17-22 | Michigan -115 v. Colorado State | 75-63 | Win | 100 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Michigan. The Wolverines made the NCAA Tournament despite losing five of their final 10 games. Six of those games came against Top 25 teams, and four of those five losses came versus ranked opponents. If you are wondering how many wins the Colorado State Rams have this season versus ranked teams, well the answer is zero. They went the entire season without playing a team ranked in the Top 25. The Wolverines are 35-16-2 ATS in their last 53 neutral site games, and they are 13-5-2 ATS in their last 20 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite. The Rams are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 neutral site games as an underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-16-22 | Raptors v. Clippers +1.5 | 103-100 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on LAC. The Raptors have been on a roll, but injuries could put their winning streak in jeopardy. Three of five starters could be out of the lineup in LA tonight. Fred Van Fleet is dealing with knee pain after playing 40 minutes against the Lakers. The injury may explain his 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting. Gary Trent Jr. is questionable due to illness. The Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games, and they have covered in 10 of their last 14 overall. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-16-22 | Notre Dame v. Rutgers | 89-87 | Win | 100 | 19 h 45 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on ND. The Irish won 22 games this season, and finished 15-5 in the ACC (tied with North Carolina for 2nd). The shot over 38 percent from beyond the arc, ranking 2nd in the ACC in three points field goal percentage. They also shot 75.7 percent from the free throw line, second best in the ACC behind the Tar Heels. Rutgers ranked near the bottom of the BIG10 in both three point shooting as well as free throw percentage. The Scarlett Knights struggle to score at the best of times, and they averaged just 64.4 points per game over their last five. The Scarlet Knights are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall, while the Fighting Irish are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games overall. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-15-22 | Devils v. Canucks -150 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 30 h 8 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on VAN. A coaching change can completely turn around a hockey club. It was just three years ago that the St. Louis Blues replaced head coach Mike Yeo, and went from last place to first place and on to win the Stanley Cup. We've seen Bruce Boudreau inspire the Vancouver Canucks to a record of 20-8-4, putting them back in the hunt for the playoffs. Vancouer is just three points out of a Wild Card spot, and that makes every game from here on out a must win. That's especially true when playing at home against a bottom feeder like New Jersey. The Devils are 7-20 in their last 27 road games. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-15-22 | Indiana v. Wyoming UNDER 133 | 66-58 | Win | 100 | 33 h 27 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The Wyoming Cowboys lost three of their final four games, but they played some strong defense down the stretch. The Cowboys allowed an average of just 65 points in those games. The problem is that they only scored 62.2 points per game over that span. The Hoosiers also lost three of their last five games, and prior to the loss to Iowa in the BIG10 Tournament they held four straight opponents to fewer than 70 points. They held the Illini to 63 points in the quarterfinals. The under is 7-3 in the Cowboys last 10 neutral site games as an underdog, and they have failed to reach the total in five of their last seven overall. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-15-22 | Oregon v. Utah State UNDER 144.5 | Top | 83-72 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 20 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Under. The Oregon Ducks lost six of their final eight games, and they have lost five straight road games. They really missed leading scorer Will Richardson, who also leads the team in assists and FG percentage. Their first game of the NIT Tournament won't be easy, on the road at Logan. The Aggies have held the opposition to just 56.6 points per game over their last five overall. Utah State has failed to reach the total in five of their last six games. Oregon shot just 34.3 percent from the field in a loss to Colorado in the first round of the PAC12 Tournament. The Ducks ranked near the bottom of the PAC12 with a free throw percentage of just .677, and their best free throw shooter has missed their last three games. GL,

This is an 8* play on MTL. A coaching change can completely turn around a hockey club. It was just three years ago that the St. Louis Blues replaced head coach Mike Yeo, and went from last place to first place and on to win the Stanley Cup. We've seen Bruce Boudreau inspire the Vancouver Canucks to a record of 20-8-4, putting them back in the hunt for the playoffs. Montreal has also turned things around with seven wins in their last 10 games under new head coach Martin St. Louis. The Coyotes are playing on the road in the second game of a back to back, a situation that they haven't had a lot of success in. The Coyotes are 2-6 in their last eight games playing on back to back nights, and they are 18-45 in their last 63 games as a road underdog. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-15-22 | Atletico Madrid v. Manchester United OVER 2.25 | 1-0 | Loss | -101 | 4 h 55 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Over, Manchester United finished at the top of Group F, despite conceding eight goals in six matches. Atletico Madrid finished second in Group B, also conceding eight goals in six matches. Both teams also rank poorly in goals against in their respective domestic leagues. We saw a 1-1 draw in Spain, which means neither team has the luxury of protecting a lead. I expect both teams to go for it here in the second match at Old Trafford. The leading scorer in Champions League history is on top form, scoring a hat trick over the weekend in a 3-2 win over Spurs. Atletico has scored seven goals in three matches in Spain since the first leg match. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-14-22 | Wolves -165 v. Spurs | 149-139 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Minnesota. The Spurs got Greg Poppovich his record setting 1336th win over the Jazz the other night, and that's likely the last meaningful game this team will play this season. The Spurs are just 13-20 at home, and they should be looking at rebuilding in the next draft. Minnesota is currently sitting in seventh in the West and should be in good shape to secure a spot in the playoffs. The Timberwolves are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall, and they are 6-0 ATS in their last six versus San Antonio. The Spurs are just 1-7 ATS in their last eight as a home underdog.

03-13-22 | Richmond v. Davidson -170 | 64-62 | Loss | -170 | 11 h 33 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Davidson. The Wildcats rank first in the conference in field goal percentage, and their 38.7 percent three point percentage is also the best in the A-10. They shot over 50 percent from the field and made 10-of-23 from three point range in an 84-69 win over Saint Louis on Saturday. The Wildcats are 6-0 ATS in their last six games as a favorite, and they are 5-0 ATS in their last five neutral site games. Richmond has scored and average of just 65 points per game over their last five, and they could struggle to keep up with the Wildcats offense. GL, Jesse Schule |

We've seen Bruce Boudreau inspire the Vancouver Canucks to a record of 20-8-4, putting them back in the hunt for the playoffs. Montreal has also turned things around with seven wins in their last nine games under new head coach Martin St. Louis. The Kraken have lost 10 of their last 11 overall, and they are looking forward to a lottery pick in the draft. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-11-22 | Pistons +14 v. Celtics | 103-114 | Win | 100 | 19 h 20 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Detroit. The Pistons are in dead last in the Central Division Standings, but they've actually been one of the hotter teams in the Eastern Conference lately. Detroit has won six of nine overall, and one of those wins came against the Celtics in Boston. A few days after beating the Celtics at the Garden, the Celtics won at the Palace by a score of 113-104. The Pistons have covered the spread in nine straight games, and they are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. They have also covered in seven straight versus the Celtics, and they are 7-2 ATS in their last nine in Boston. This line looks a bit inflated all things concerned. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 5* play on Over. They say "money isn't everything", but it sure as hell helps. Newcastle has benefited from deep pockets, buying players over the last few months, and it's helped them turn their season around with a record of 6-0-2 in their last eight matches. They have a history of playing high scoring matches against Southampton. Last year these teams played twice, and both teams scored at least twice in each meeting. Only Leeds and Norwich have conceded more goals than Newcastle this season. GL, Jesse Schule |

Montreal has also turned things around with seven wins in their last eight games under new head coach Martin St. Louis.

03-09-22 | Raptors -127 v. Spurs | 119-104 | Win | 100 | 6 h 35 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Toronto. The Raptors have lost three straight, and a trip to San Antonio looks like a good spot to get back on track. The Spurs are just 12-19 at home, and their most recent win came against the Lakers with LeBron out of the lineup. Fred Van Fleet told TSN this morning that he will return to the lineup tonight after missing time with a sore knee. The Spurs are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games following a win, and they are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 as an underdog. The Raptors are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight up loss.

03-09-22 | Paris Saint-Germain v. Real Madrid | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Madrid. PSG won the first leg by a score of 1-0, but they head to the Bernabeu for the second leg of this Champions League tie versus Real Madrid. The home team is sitting top of the table in Spain, leading the league in goals scored as well as goal differential. They have yet to be beaten at home in La Liga this season, boasting a record of 10-0-4. Paris has lost two of three domestic league games since their first leg win versus Madrid, and they might not have Kylian Mbappe in the lineup Wedneday. The French international suffered a foot injury over the weekend. "Kylian Mbappé received a knock on his right foot in training today. He has undergone treatment this afternoon," read the release. "The medical tests are reassuring and another update will be made in 24 hours." It was Mbappe who scored the only goal in the first leg. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is an 8* play on Under. The total for this game looks a little high when you consider that Marist has averaged just 64.4 points per game over their last five overall, and Quinnipiac has scored just 67.4 points per game in their last five. These teams have failed to reach the total in five of the last seven head to head meetings. The under is 12-2 in the Bobcats last 14 neutral site games, and they have failed to reach the total in four of their last five as an underdog. In a single elimination game we can expect every possession to be a battle. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-08-22 | UT-Rio Grande Valley v. California Baptist UNDER 149 | 80-81 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 4 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Under. The total for this game looks a little high when you consider that California Baptist has averaged just 65.8 points per game over their last five overall, and Texas Rio Grande Valley scored just 63 points per game in their last five. The under is 6-2 in the Vaqueros last eight overall, and they have failed to reach the total in five of their last six when coming off a loss. The under is 6-1 inthe Lancers last seven overall, and they have failed to reach the total in nine of their last 13 when coming off a win. In a single elimination game we can expect every possession to be a battle. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-08-22 | Stars +1.5 v. Predators | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 20 h 8 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Dallas. The Stars have won five of their last six overall, and they will be an underdog in Nashville. The Predators have lost six of their last nine overall. These teams have a history of playing close games, with six of the last 10 head to head meetings decided in overtime. Eight of the last 10 meetings were decided by one goal, and Dallas has won eight of their last 10 road games. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-07-22 | Knicks v. Kings -165 | 131-115 | Loss | -165 | 2 h 51 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Kings. The Kings are just 3-6 in their last nine overall, but eight of those games came on the road. They host the New York Knicks tonight, and this looks like a tough spot for an Eastern Conference team at the end of a West Coast road trip. The Knicks have lost seven of eight, and they are coming off an upset win over the Clippers on Sunday. The Knicks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog, and they have failed to cover in five of their last seven coming off a win. I like the Kings here, as they are 6-2 ATS when coming off a loss. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-07-22 | Lakers +120 v. Spurs | 110-117 | Loss | -100 | 21 h 47 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on LAL. I'm not a Lakers fan by any stretch of the imagination, and I bet against them last week when they lost to the Clippers 132-111. I don't think they are going anywhere in the post-season, but I do expect them to do enough to get into the playoffs. The same can't be said for for the Spurs, who have lost four straight. The Spurs are 2-6 ATS in their last eight home games, and the Lakers are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in San Antonio. LeBron scored 56 against the Warriors Saturday, so his nagging knee injury can't be that bad. The Lakers are 5-0 straight up in their last five at San Antonio. GL, Jeese Schule |

03-06-22 | Portland v. Los Angeles FC | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 20 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on LAFC. Carlos Vela missed most of the last two MLS seasons, and his team suffered in his absence. His last full season was in 2019, and he scored an incredible 36 goals in 33 starts. LAFC finished first in MLS that season, eight points clear of their closest competitor. Vela appears to be healthy, scoring a hat trick in the season opener. Portland needed to score a late equalizer to salvage a draw in their home opener versus New England. I don't fancy the Timbers to earn any points here in LA. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-06-22 | Suns v. Bucks -7 | 122-132 | Win | 100 | 13 h 33 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Bucks. The Suns are the best team in the NBA, and they are coming off a home win over the Knicks despite playing without their two best players. They are due for a let down here on the road in Milwaukee, and without Devin Booker and CP3 they could be in trouble. The Suns are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win, and they are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall. They have failed to cover in four of their last five at Milwaukee. The Bucks have won three straight, and they have scored an average of 123 points in those games. The Bucks are healthy and the Suns are not, this game should be a blowout. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-06-22 | Michigan v. Ohio State -3.5 | 75-69 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Ohio State. Michigan is 2-2 since the loss to Wisconsin that resulted in the suspension of head coach Juwan Howard for the remainder of the season. This will be their first road game since that loss, and they are just 4-7 on the road this season. The Buckeyes have won 13 of 15 home games this season, and they have outscored opponents by an average margin of 12 points per game on their home court. The Buckeyes are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall, and they seem to draw a favorable matchup in their final home game. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-05-22 | San Diego State -150 v. Nevada | 79-78 | Win | 100 | 19 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a 7* play on the Aztecs. The Aztecs didn't have the best start this season, but they sure have finished strong. They come into the season finale in Nevada as winners of eight of their last nine overall. The only loss during that span came by a single point against the Conference Champs Boise State on the road. Nevada didn't start strong, and they aren't finishing strong. The Wolfpack have lost nine of their last 12, and two of those three wins came against last place San Jose State. The Aztecs are 22-8 ATS in their last 30 road games, and the Wolf Pack are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games overall. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-05-22 | Mississippi State v. Texas A&M -130 | 64-67 | Win | 100 | 17 h 53 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Aggies. The Bulldogs are a decent team (at home), but not so much on the road. They have just one road victory this season, and that came at Missouri in a game decided by just two points. The Aggies play their final home game Saturday, and they are a solid 12-4 at home. They are coming off an upset win at #25 ranked Alabama, and they have won four of their last five overall. They scored an average of 75.4 points per game during that span, which is more than 10 points more than Mississippi State has scored over their last five games. I will ride the hot team as a short favorite at home on Senior's Night. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-05-22 | LA Galaxy +136 v. Charlotte FC | 1-0 | Win | 136 | 19 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on LA. I ain't gonna blow smoke up your @## and pretend I know everything about the expansion team from Charlotte. This is just the second weekend of the MLS season, and with college hoops in full swing and NBA and NHL into the second half of the season, my focus hasn't been on soccer. I do know that Charlotte lost it's first match 3-0 to a mediocre DC United team, and I know that the last few expansion teams in the MLS have finished at or near the bottom of the table in their first season. LA Galaxy had high expectations when they signed Chicharito, but he's had trouble staying healthy. He scored a goal in their season opener, giving him 18 goals in his last 21 starts. He's still a world class player, and he should give the Galaxy a huge edge. I will take the plus money for a small play. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-05-22 | Spurs v. Hornets -165 | 117-123 | Win | 100 | 16 h 31 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on the Hornets. The Spurs bring a three game losing streak into Charlotte, and they are just 13-20 on the road this season. They have failed to cover in five of their last seven at Charlotte, and they are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games as an underdog. The Hornets are coming off a blowout win at Cleveland, and they have a .500 record at home. Charlotte has been able to take care of business when playing inferior opposition, covering in 43 of their last 58 versus teams with a winning percentage below .400. GL, Jesse Schule |
