12-27-20	Spurs v. Pelicans -5	Top	95-98	Loss	-105	28 h 55 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Pelicans -5 -105 New Orleans (-5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Spurs. This Pelicans team should be a big factor in the Western Conference this year with a healthy Zion Williamson. New Orleans got the season started off with a big 113-99 win at Toronto as a 4-point dog, but lost on Christmas Day to a really good Miami team on the road. Pelicans finally get to play at home and should take care of a Spurs team that has looked good, but are playing their 3rd game in 5 days and second of back-to-back. Play New Orleans -5!
12-27-20	Missouri State v. Northern Iowa -8	Top	79-59	Loss	-108	26 h 42 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Northern Iowa -8 -108 Northern Iowa (-8) is worth a look in Sunday's Missouri Valley action that has the Panthers hosting Missouri State. UNI has gotten off to a disappointing 1-4 start, but a big reason for that is their schedule was brutal to start the year. All 4 losses have come against teams who could be playing in the NCAA Tournament in WKU, St. Mary's, Utah St and Richmond. They were competitive in all 4 losses. The Bears are 3-0, but have played nobody and are really outclassed in this one. A motivated and desperate UNI team should have no problem here winning by double-digits. Play the Panthers -8!
12-26-20	Cavs v. Pistons -2	Top	128-119	Loss	-105	27 h 29 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons -2 -105 The Pistons (-2) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Cavs. I just think this is a great price to back Detroit and the perfect spot to fade Cleveland off their opening win over what figures to be an awful Charlotte team. Pistons outshot the T-Wolves in their opener, but Minnesota made 24 free throws to the Pistons 3. That won't happen again here. Play Detroit -2!
12-26-20	Youngstown State v. Cleveland State -1	Top	69-87	Win	100	24 h 50 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Cleveland State -1 -108 Cleveland State (-1) is worth a look here as basically a pick'em at home against Youngstown State. The Vikings got off to a slow start, as they lost their first 3 games, but those were against two quality MAC teams in Toledo and Ohio and a much better Ohio State, who they took to the wire in a mere 6-point loss. They have since won back-to-back games over Fort Wayne and they stay hot here against the Penguins. Play Cleveland State -1!
12-25-20	Warriors v. Bucks -9.5		99-138	Win	101	33 h 24 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -9½ +101 Milwaukee (-9.5) is worth a look as a big home favorite against the Warriors on Christmas Day. I know this might seem like a lot of points for the Bucks to be laying, but they really should win here by double-digits rather easily. We know we are going to get a big effort from Milwaukee after losing their opener and while Golden State also figures to play hard, they just don't have the talent to compete, especially without Draymond Green. They lost to the Nets by 26 and it could have been much worse. Play the Bucks -9.5!
12-25-20	Wisconsin -1.5 v. Michigan State	Top	85-76	Win	100	27 h 29 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Wisconsin -1½ -110 The Badgers (-1.5) are worth a look as a small road favorite against the Spartans. I just think the line here says it all. Even after getting blown out at Northwestern in their Big Ten opener, the betting public is going to be all over Michigan State as a home dog. I'll gladly take the other side and take my chances with a very good Wisconsin team that is built to win on the road in Big Ten play. Play the Badgers -1.5!
12-25-20	Pelicans +5 v. Heat	Top	98-111	Loss	-100	31 h 13 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Pelicans +5 -100 The Pelicans (+5) are worth a look in the first of 5 NBA games on Christmas Day. There's plenty of hype with New Orleans this year with Zion Williamson a full go from the start, but clearly they still got some work to do to get some respect from the books. Part of it here is they are facing the reigning Eastern Conference champs in Miami. That's just it, the Heat just played in the Finals what seems like yesterday. They looked a little flat in their opening loss to the Magic and it could take a minute before they get back to playing like they did in the postseason. Pelicans are the more hungry team right now. Play New Orleans +5!
12-23-20	Pistons v. Wolves -4		101-111	Win	100	33 h 9 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Wolves -4 -105
12-23-20	Spurs +3 v. Grizzlies		131-119	Win	100	33 h 9 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Spurs +3 -109
12-23-20	Bucks v. Celtics +3.5	Top	121-122	Win	100	33 h 8 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics +3½ -113
12-22-20	Wichita State v. South Florida -2.5		82-77	Loss	-108	26 h 53 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on South Florida -2½ -108 USF (-2.5) is worth a look here as a slim home favorite against the Shockers. This is just not the same Wichita State team as the previous years and I just feel they are still getting a little too much respect from the books. I like what I've seen out of this Bulls team. South Florida has won 4 straight and just beat Cincinnati on the road in their last game. This is just too good a price to pass up. Play the Bulls -2.5!
12-22-20	Ball State -5 v. Western Michigan		76-68	Win	100	21 h 57 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Ball State -5 -108 Ball State (-5) is worth a look here as a short road favorite against Western Michigan. I believe we are getting the Cardinals at a discount here due to them coming off a 10-point loss at Indiana State. This is just not a very good Broncos team this season. They did win their conference opener against Central Michigan, but they are way down. That's their only win against a D-I opponent. Look for Ball State to make easy work here. Play the Cardinals -5!
12-22-20	William & Mary v. Virginia UNDER 123.5	Top	40-76	Win	100	21 h 57 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on William & Mary vs Virginia under 123½ -110 The UNDER (123.5) is worth a look in Tuesday's college hoops matchup between Virginia and William & Mary. Low-scoring games is the way of life for this Virginia team and this year is no different. The Cavaliers come into this game ranked 5th in adjusted defensive efficiency and 357th in adjusted tempo. William & Mary ranks 288th in tempo, so this game will be played at a snail's pace. Play the UNDER 123.5!
12-21-20	Wofford v. Texas A&M -5	Top	52-70	Win	100	23 h 6 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Texas A&M -5 -110
12-20-20	Western Illinois +5.5 v. Tenn-Martin	Top	81-63	Win	100	27 h 14 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Western Illinois +5½ -115 The Leathernecks (+5.5) are worth a look here as a slim dog against Tennessee Martin. Western Illinois is 1-4, but have played a really tough schedule. As for the Skyhawks, they are 3-0 but have played one of the easiest schedules. They could also be 1-2, as they needed double-overtime to win at home against Evansville and snuck out a 2-point win over SE Missouri State. I'm not so sure this line shouldn't be closer to a pick'em. Play Western Illinois +5.5!
12-20-20	Oklahoma State +8.5 v. Texas		74-77	Win	100	23 h 35 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Oklahoma State +8½ -110 Oklahoma State (+8.5) is worth a look in Sunday's Big 12 matchup at Texas. I just think this is a few too many points for the Longhorns to be laying in this one. Oklahoma State had started out 6-0 before losing at home to TCU. Sure the loss looks bad, as it was a game they were expected to win, but they did lose by just 1-point. They got the offensive fire-power to hang with Texas and even win this game outright. Play Oklahoma State +8.5!
12-19-20	Gonzaga v. Iowa OVER 170.5	Top	99-88	Win	100	17 h 53 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Gonzaga vs Iowa over 170½ -120 The OVER (170.5) is worth a look in Saturday's highly anticipated showdown between Iowa and Gonzaga. You don't see many totals in the 170s in college basketball, but I still don't think it's enough. These are the two best offensive teams in the country. They can both score inside and outside and aren't exactly the best defensive teams. We have seen Kansas score 90 on Gonzaga and Iowa is mediocre at best defensively. Don't overthink this one. Play the OVER 170.5!
12-18-20	Chicago State v. Northern Illinois OVER 137.5	Top	54-64	Loss	-110	24 h 41 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Chicago State vs Northern Illinois over 137½ -110 The OVER (137.5) is worth a look in Friday's college hoops action between Northern Illinois and Chicago State. I just feel the books have really missed the mark here. Chicago State is one of, if not, the worst defensive team in the country. The fewest points they have allowed in any game is 74 and that was against North Carolina A&T. They gave up 84 or more in 5 of 7. Huskies aren't great defensively either. IN their last 3 games they have allowed 89 to Pitt, 79 to Ball State and 106 to Iowa. Play the OVER 137.5!
12-18-20	Drake -5 v. South Dakota		75-57	Win	100	19 h 23 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Drake -5 -114 Drake (-5) is worth a look here as a short road favorite against South Dakota in Friday's college hoops action. This one is easy for me. These two teams already played once this season and the Bulldogs defeated the Coyotes by 16 points. They held South Dakota to a season-low 53 points. I just feel we are seeing the Coyotes getting a little bit a love here off a big upset of in-state rival South Dakota State. That was a nice win, but it also had both teams playing their 3rd game in 3 days and anything can happen in rivalry games. Play Drake -5!
12-17-20	San Francisco +8 v. Oregon	Top	64-74	Loss	-113	22 h 44 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on San Francisco +8 -113 San Francisco (+8) is worth a look here as a near double-digit dog on the road against Oregon. The Pac-12 has not looked great early on this season and while Oregon comes in 4-1, I don't think this is an elite team by any means. The Dons are more than capable of going into Oregon and giving the Ducks all they can handle. San Francisco has already secured a win over Virginia and beat a decent Nevada team by 25. They also just barely lost to Cal in their last game 70-72. Play San Francisco +8!
12-16-20	Toledo v. Marshall -6.5		96-87	Loss	-108	25 h 48 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Marshall -6½ -108 Marshall (-6.5) is worth a look as a short home favorite against Toledo. The books just keep underestimating this Thundering Herd team. Marshall is 4-0 SU and have gone 3-0-1. Last time out they were a mere 3-point home favorite against a good Ohio team and won by 14. Now they face another top tier MAC team in Toledo and I just don't see a much different result. Marshall is lighting it up offensively and are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 after scoring 80 or more and 11-2 ATS last 13 off a in by 10 more. Play the Herd -6.5!
12-16-20	San Diego -5 v. Cal Poly		70-61	Win	100	25 h 31 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on San Diego -5 -108 San Diego (-5) is worth a look here as a short road favorite against Col Poly. This is just feels like a great time to buy low on the Toreros. This is a talented team, but come in 0-2 after opening the season with games at UCLA and home vs Nevada. Cal Poly is 2-2, but one of those wins was a cupcake non-DI opponent and the other was against a bad San Jose State team. I look for the Toreros to win and win easy. Play San Diego -5!
12-16-20	Mercer v. Georgia State -4.5	Top	81-88	Win	100	25 h 48 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Georgia State -4½ -108 You really just need to look at the line to know that Georgia State (-4.5) is the play in this one. These two teams played at Mercer back on Nov. 30. A game the Bears won 86-69. Mercer also comes in a perfect 6-0 SU on the season. All of that and yet the Bears are a dog in the rematch. It's for good reason. This Georgia State team is every bit as talented as Mercer and now they have the home court edge. Panthers get their revenge and we get our cover. Play Georgia State -4.5!
12-15-20	Furman +6 v. Alabama		80-83	Win	100	27 h 32 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Furman +6 -105 Furman (+6) is worth a look as they visit Alabama in Tuesday's college hoops action. The Paladins have 4 starters back from a 25-win team and are the clear-cut favorites to win the Southern Conference. They are 5-1 to start this season with their only loss coming by a mere 5-points at Cincinnati. Note they only lost by 5 to the Bearcats, despite Cincinnati going off and shooting 56% from the field. Alabama just hasn't looked as good as what people were expecting. They just don't have the shooting they did a year ago. At least they aren't making shots at the same rate. Crimson Tide are only shooting 40% from the field and 29% from deep. If they shoot like that in this game they will lose. Play Furman +6!
12-15-20	Loyola-Chicago +9.5 v. Wisconsin	Top	63-77	Loss	-115	26 h 32 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Loyola-Chicago +9½ -115 Loyola-Chicago (+9.5) is worth a look in Tuesday's game at Wisconsin. This might seem like a small number for the No. 12 ranked team to be laying at home against an unranked opponent, but the Ramblers are no joke. They return all 5 starters from a team that won 21-games last year. These two teams also play at ridiculously slow tempo, which makes the 9.5 a lot more valuable than it might seem. I expect Loyola Chicago to make a game of it. Play the Ramblers +9.5!
12-15-20	Clemson v. Virginia Tech		60-66	Loss	-110	24 h 2 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Clemson PK -110 Clemson (PK) is worth a look as they get ready to open up ACC play on the road against Virginia Tech. The Tigers have been better than expected early on. Clemson has started out 5-0 with wins over Mississippi State, Purdue, Maryland and Alabama. Three of those by double-digits and the other by 8. Virginia Tech had that big win over Villanova early, but have come back to reality a bit. They just lost at home by 20-points to a Penn State team that isn't nearly as talented as what Clemson is. Play the Tigers PK!
12-14-20	Rutgers v. Maryland -1.5	Top	74-60	Loss	-110	26 h 32 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Maryland -1½ -110 Maryland (-1.5) is worth a look as a small home favorite against Rutgers in Monday's Big Ten opener. This line is begging you to take the Scarlet Knights. You have a ranked team in Rutgers as a dog against an unranked team in Maryland. Not to mention the Scarlet Knights are coming in off an impressive 79-69 win over Syracuse and the Terps fresh off an ugly 14-point loss to Clemson. I'm confident Maryland bounces back here. Rutgers only won 2 true road games all of last season and this is their first true road game of this year. Play Maryland -1.5!
12-13-20	Ohio v. Marshall -3	Top	67-81	Win	100	20 h 19 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Marshall -3 -110 The Thundering Herd (-3) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against Ohio. Marshall returns all 5 starters from last year and are a perfect 3-0 to start the new season, including an impressive 16-point win over a quality Wright State team. Ohio is a decent team and are 4-1 with their only loss by 2 to Illinois, but too much value here to pass up with the Thundering Herd. Play Marshall -3!
12-13-20	Wright State +3 v. Bowling Green		85-67	Win	100	18 h 7 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Wright State +3 -110 Wright State (+3) is worth a look here as a small road dog against Bowling Green. Big time system in play favoring the Raiders. Road teams with a line of +3 to -3 who are coming off a blowout win by 20 or more against an opponents that has scored 75 or more in 3 straight games are 42-15 (74%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Play Wright State +3!
12-12-20	Valparaiso -2.5 v. Central Michigan	Top	79-84	Loss	-110	24 h 45 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Valparaiso -2½ -110 The Crusaders (-2.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against the Chippewas in Saturday's college hoops action. Valpo got off to a slow start with three straight losses to start the season, but it came against a tough schedule that included two power 5 opponents. They have responded with back-to-back wins and I look for them to make easy work against a pretty bad Central Michigan team. Chippewas only win on the season against Western Illinois, who is ranked No. 345 at KenPom and they only won that game by a mere 6-points. Play Valparaiso -2.5!
12-11-20	Magic v. Hawks -3.5	Top	116-112	Loss	-115	26 h 53 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks -3½ -115 All NBA preseason picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models
12-11-20	Rider +3 v. Manhattan	Top	82-64	Win	100	25 h 39 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Rider +3 -108 The Broncs (+3) are worth a look as a small road dog against Manhattan. Great buy low spot on Rider in this one, as they have had quite a challenging schedule to start out the year playing on the road against both Syracuse and St. John's. They only lost by 3 against the Red Storm. As for Manhattan, I have them rated lower and the Jaspers are at a disadvantage having not played a game yet. Play Rider +3!
12-11-20	Appalachian State +5 v. Charlotte		61-57	Win	100	24 h 39 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Appalachian State +5 -108 The Mountaineers (+5) are worth a look as they visit Charlotte on Friday night. These two teams played last year and Appalachian State won by 9 at home. This is an even stronger Mountaineers squad in 2020. On the flip side, I think the 49ers are down a notch or two from last season. Winning on the road is also a lot easier with all the limitations on fans. All things considered, I think App State should be favored here. Play the Mountaineers +5!
12-10-20	Cal-Riverside -7 v. Northern Arizona	Top	74-50	Win	100	26 h 49 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Cal-Riverside -7 -120 UC Riverside (-7) is worth a look here at this price. The Highlanders should have no problem winning by double-digits on the road against Northern Arizona. The Lumberjacks have only played one game and were absolutely destroyed by Arizona 96-53. UC Riverside lost to a quality Pacific team in their opener, but fired right back with a 15 point upset win against Washington and cruised to a 20-point victory over Denver in their last game, who I would say is pretty equal in terms of talent to Northern Arizona. Play the Highlanders -7!
12-09-20	Marshall -5.5 v. College of Charleston		84-72	Win	100	27 h 30 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Marshall -5½ -108 The Thundering Herd (-5.5) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against Charleston. Marshall is a team that got better and better as last season progressed and return all 5 starters. Charleston on the other hand returns just 1 starter from a team that only won 17 games and was a mere 4th in the Colonial Athletic. I really think Marshall should be laying at least double-digits in this one. Play the Herd -5.5!
12-09-20	Eastern Illinois v. Evansville +4.5		65-68	Win	100	26 h 27 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Evansville +4½ -107 The Purple Aces (+4.5) are worth a look as a home dog against Eastern Illinois. Evansville has gotten off to a rough start, losing each of their first 3 games, but could easily be 2-1 with a 3-point loss in one defeat and a 2OT setback in another. Eastern Illinois is just 2-3 and while they have played some quality teams tough, their only wins are against Chicago St and Green Bay (2OT). Too much value to pass up with the home team in this one. Play Evansville +4.5!
12-09-20	Providence v. TCU -2.5	Top	79-70	Loss	-108	25 h 35 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on TCU -2½ -108 TCU (-2.5) is worth a look here as a slim home favorite against the Friars. I think this line reflects a lot of what these two teams were a year ago and not what they are this season. Providence lost two of their best players and have not looked great early on with blowout losses to both Indiana and Alabama. TCU on the other hand is much improved and it's shown early as they are 4-1 with their only loss by 4-points to a top tier Oklahoma team. Play TCU -2.5!
12-08-20	Illinois v. Duke -4		83-68	Loss	-105	26 h 26 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Duke -4 -105 The Blue Devils (-4) are worth a look as they host Illinois. This might seem like a big number with how hyped this Fighting Illini team was coming into this season, but we just saw Illinois come up way short in a big showdown with Baylor, losing 82-69. Duke might not be as loaded as they have been, but there's no denying they still have a ton of talent. Play the Blue Devils -4!
12-08-20	Penn State +6 v. Virginia Tech	Top	75-55	Win	100	26 h 56 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Penn State +6 -115 The Nittany Lions (+6) are worth a look as a pretty decent sized underdog against the Hokies. Virginia Tech is 4-0 and have that big overtime win over No. 3 Villanova, but I don't think they should be laying this many points against an equally talented Penn State team. Nittany Lions only loss came in OT to a good Seton Hall team. I wouldn't be shocked at all if Penn State won this game outright. Play the Nittany Lions +6.
12-08-20	Kent State +1.5 v. Detroit		80-66	Win	100	24 h 56 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Kent State +1½ -110 The Golden Flashes (+1.5) are worth a look here at basically a pick'em against Detroit. The Titans are getting a lot of love for playing a couple close games against Michigan State (76-83) and Notre Dame (70-78), but I just think that was more of those teams not really giving Detroit their full attention. You can say the same thing about Kent State, who in their last game only lost by 7 as a 18.5-point dog to Virginia. I just feel in terms of talent the Golden Flashes are the better team and should not be a dog here. Play Kent State +1.5!
12-07-20	Chattanooga v. Middle Tennessee	Top	80-70	Loss	-110	30 h 35 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Middle Tennessee PK -110 The Blue Raiders (PK) are worth a look at a pick'em on their home floor against Chattanooga. Middle Tennessee lost their first two, but got back on track in their last game with a 78-61 win over Murray State, which was their toughest test to date. The Mocs are 3-0, but have not played a team inside the Top 200 of the KenPom rankings. Blue Raiders should be a much bigger favorite here. Play Middle Tennessee PK!
12-06-20	Oklahoma -2.5 v. TCU		82-78	Win	100	24 h 54 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Oklahoma -2½ -108 The Sooners (-2.5) are worth a look here as a slim road favorite against TCU. I think Oklahoma is flying a bit under the radar. Sooners were better than anyone expected last year and returned a lot from that team. They didn't play their first game of this season until this past Thursday and they destroyed UTSA 105-66. TCU is 4-0, but haven't played anyone. Play Oklahoma -2.5!
12-06-20	Central Michigan v. Western Illinois +9.5	Top	79-73	Win	100	23 h 24 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Western Illinois +9½ -108 The Leathernecks of Western Illinois are worth a look as a big home dog (+9.5) to Central Michigan. There's just no way the Chippewas should be laying this kind of number, as they are sitting at 0-3 themselves. Leathernecks only loss was to Iowa and while it was ugly, they just had no answer for Luka Garza (41 points). Central Michigan doesn't have anyone close to Garza's ability. It will be much easier on both sides of the ball for the Leathernecks. Play Western Illinois +9.5!
12-04-20	South Dakota State v. Bradley		88-84	Loss	-110	27 h 17 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Bradley PK -110 Bradley is worth a look as a pick'em on their home floor against South Dakota State. The Braves are one of the top teams in a top heavy Missouri Valley Conference and are off to a strong 3-1 start with their only setback being a 1-point loss on the road against Xavier. South Dakota State comes in off a big win over a Big 12 team in ISU, but are playing their second road game in 3 days. Jackrabbits haven't played a home game yet and this will be their 5th game since opening the season last Wednesday. Play Bradley PK!
12-04-20	Wisconsin v. Marquette +4	Top	65-67	Win	100	26 h 17 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Marquette +4 -109 Our biggest bet on the college hardwood Friday is on Marquette +4 at home against Wisconsin. I don't know that the Golden Eagles should be this big a dog on their home floor. Marquette let a lot of backers down in their last game as a small favorite against Oklahoma State. They came up short in a 8-point loss and more than anything they just didn't shoot the ball well. Wisconsin is 3-0 but have played absolutely nobody with their 3 wins against E Illinois, Arkansas Pine Bluff and Green Bay. Also big revenge spot for Marquette after losing by 16 at Wisconsin a year ago. Play the Golden Eagles +4!
12-03-20	Connecticut v. USC OVER 142		61-58	Loss	-110	25 h 45 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Connecticut vs USC over 142 -110 The OVER (142) is worth a shot in Thursday's big non-conference clash between USC and Connecticut. The Trojans are a much stronger offensive team this year, thanks to the play of talented freshman Evan Mobley. They have scored at least 76 in all 3 of their games and I expect them to dictate the tempo against the Huskies. UConn can definitely score with them and we should have no problem eclipsing the number here. Play the OVER 142!
12-03-20	Washington +8 v. Utah	Top	62-76	Loss	-110	24 h 21 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Washington +8 -110 The Huskies (+8) are worth a shot as they take on Utah in Pac-12 play on Thursday. No one is going to want anything to do with Washington after watching them get absolutely destroyed by Baylor 86-52 and then lose 57-42 in their next game to UC Riverside. Utah hasn't played a game yet and I just don't think there's a whole lot that separates these two teams. Definitely not enough that the Utes are a near double-digit favorite. Play the Huskies +8!
12-02-20	Illinois v. Baylor -3		69-82	Win	100	29 h 17 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Baylor -3 -112 I got a ton of love for this Illinois team. They are one of the best teams in the Big Ten, but I just think the Bears are on a whole different level. I think they are out to prove to everyone that they should be the No. 1 team. Baylor was just that last year and brought almost everyone back. Play the Bears -3!
12-02-20	West Virginia +9.5 v. Gonzaga	Top	82-87	Win	100	28 h 46 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on West Virginia +9½ -110 The Mountaineers (+9.5) are worth a look as a near double-digit dog against Gonzaga. Now is the perfect spot to sell high on the Bulldogs. Everyone wants to back Gonzaga being they are the No. 1 team and have won and covered each of their first two games rather easily. This is a tough matchup for the Bulldogs against a talented, deep and experienced West Virginia team. Play the Mountaineers +9.5!
12-01-20	Kentucky v. Kansas -3.5		62-65	Loss	-112	30 h 29 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Kansas -3½ -112 Kentucky is playing a ton of freshmen and I think that's a much harder task than it has been in the past with how limited practices were in the offseason. In time the Wildcats will be a quality team, but I expect a lot of struggles early and we just saw them lose at home to Richmond. While the Spiders are a good team, that's not a team you expect Kentucky to lose to. Kansas showed me a lot against Gonzaga. Play the Jayhawks!
12-01-20	Michigan State +4 v. Duke	Top	75-69	Win	100	29 h 41 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Michigan State +4 -113 The Spartans are worth a look as a small dog (+4) against the Blue Devils. It's not often Michigan State isn't one of the Big Ten teams that are getting all kinds of love coming into a season. I think that makes Tom Izzo's team a dangerous opponent. I know they lost Winston, but there's plenty of talent on board and this looks like a much deeper team than they had a year ago. Duke has some freshmen studs as usual, but I have to give the edge to the Spartans in this one. Play Michigan State +4!
11-30-20	Iona v. Seton Hall -20	Top	64-86	Win	100	28 h 14 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Seton Hall -20 -110 The Pirates should have no problem covering the number (-20) as they host Iona. The Gaels are simply getting too much respect because of Rick Pitino being the head coach. Won't shock me if Pitino turns around that program, but this is not the year to make massive improvements. Iona is outclassed and on top of that Seton Hall is going to be extremely motivated having lost their opener 70-71 at Louisville. Play the Pirates -20!
11-30-20	Georgia State v. Mercer +4		69-86	Win	100	23 h 8 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Mercer +4 -110 The Bears (+4) are worth a look as they host Georgia State on Monday. Both teams have started 2-0 and both have a common opponent in Georgia Tech. The Panthers beat the Yellow Jackets 123-120 in a 4OT thriller, while Mercer beat them 83-73. I just think this line should be closer to a pick'em. Play the Bears +4!
11-29-20	Oakland v. Michigan UNDER 149		71-81	Loss	-110	25 h 47 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Oakland vs Michigan under 149 -110 The UNDER (149) is worth a look here in Sunday's college basketball action that has Michigan hosting Oakland. The Wolverines played a shootout in their first game, beating Bowling Green 96-82. Look for a much lower scoring game against Oakland, who has averaged just 54.0 ppg on 28% shooting in their first 3 games. Play the UNDER 149!

20* SHARP PLAY on South Alabama -5 -108 South Alabama (-5) is worth a look as a small favorite on the college hardwood against Jacksonville State. The Jaguars are 2-0 and have really shot the ball well out of the gate. SA is averaging 81.5 ppg on 51.8% shooting from the field and 50.0% shooting from deep. Look for the Jags offense to carry them to an easy win at home on Sunday. Play South Alabama -5!
11-28-20	SE Missouri State +8.5 v. UMKC	Top	71-66	Win	100	23 h 47 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on SE Missouri State +8½ -110 The Redhawks (+8.5) are worth a look here in their season opener against UM Kansas City. The Roos have put up a ton of points in their first two games, beating two inferior teams 105-35 and 138-97, respectively. I just think it has them a bit overvalued here. I not only think SE Missouri State can keep it within the number, but I give them a legit shot at winning this game outright. Play SE Missouri State +8.5!
11-27-20	Colorado -6 v. Kansas State		76-58	Win	100	25 h 59 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Colorado -6 -108 The Buffaloes (-6) are worth a look here as a slim favorite against the Wildcats. This K-State team is expected to remain in the basement of the Big 12 and they didn't do much to change anyone's mind with a 10-point loss at home to Drake in their opener. Colorado on the other hand won and covered as a 17-point favorite against South Dakota. Look for the Buffs to win here by double-digits rather easily. Play Colorado -6!
11-27-20	UC-Davis v. Santa Clara -7	Top	63-66	Loss	-108	21 h 32 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Santa Clara -7 -108 The Broncos (-7) are worth a look as they take on UC-Davis. Santa Clara defeated Idaho State 62-49 in their opener and covered in that one as a 11.5-point favorite. The Aggies lost 93-101 as a 3-point favorite to Nicholls State. Home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points who are off a cover as a double-digit favorite and playing a team that lost as a favorite are 37-13 (74%) ATS last 5 seasons. Play Santa Clara -7!
11-27-20	Pepperdine v. UCLA -6.5		98-107	Win	100	19 h 32 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on UCLA -6½ -110 UCLA (-6.5) is worth a look as they will be extremely motivated to not start 0-2 after getting embarrassed in their opener by San Diego State 73-58 as a 3-point favorite. I wasn't all that surprised with that result. The Aztecs are no joke. I still really like this UCLA team and I see them having no problem winning by double-digits against Pepperdine. Play the Bruins -6.5!
11-26-20	Nevada +3.5 v. Nebraska		69-66	Win	100	16 h 54 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Nevada +3½ -109 Nevada (+3.5) is worth a look here as a dog against the Cornhuskers. I just think we are getting a good price with the Wolf Pack due to Nebraska coming off a convincing 102-55 win over McNeese. This is a Cornhuskers team that lost a lot from last year and doesn't figure to be a serious contender in the Big Ten. Steve Alford's squad has a great shot at winning outright. Play Nevada +3.5!
11-26-20	Gonzaga -4 v. Kansas	Top	102-90	Win	100	32 h 21 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Gonzaga -4 -115 No. 1 ranked Gonzaga (-4) is definitely worth a look as slim favorite against No. 6 ranked Kansas. I just feel like the Jayhawks are getting way too much respect coming into the year. Chances are Bill Self will end up molding this team into one of the better teams in the country, but they have to replace two studs in point guard Devon Dotson and big man Udoka Azubuike. I know Gonzaga also lost some guys, but they got more proven pieces coming back. I look for the Bulldogs to win this one rather easily. Play Gonzaga -4!
11-25-20	Liberty +11 v. Purdue		64-77	Loss	-110	31 h 36 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Liberty +11 -110 Liberty (+11) is worth a look here as a double-digit dog against the Boilermakers. It's just the Flames football team you have to watch out for. Liberty's hoops team went 30-4 last year. While they lose 3 starters, they got talent coming back and we know this team will show up on the defensive end. Purdue is in a bit of a transition year and I think they could struggle out of the gate without a go-to guy on the offensive side of the ball. Play Liberty +11!
11-25-20	St. Mary's v. Memphis -5.5		56-73	Win	100	30 h 56 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Memphis -5½ -112 Memphis (-5.5) is worth a look here against St. Mary's in Wednesday's college basketball opener for both teams. I like what Penny Hardaway is doing with this team. Who knows how good the Tigers would have been had James Wiseman not got hurt. Memphis still went on to win 21 games. They return 4 starters and 7 guys who played 13 min/game, plus add in a 5* freshman center in Moussa Cisse. St Mary's is coming off a great season, but they lost 3 of 5 starters. I just don't see the Gaels keeping pace in this one. Play Memphis -5.5!
11-25-20	Drake +7.5 v. Kansas State	Top	80-70	Win	100	33 h 50 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Drake +7½ -110 Drake (+7.5) is worth a look here as a decently priced dog against what I think is a bad Kansas State team. The Wildcats were the worst team in the Big 12 a season ago and it doesn't look like this season will be any better. Drake had one of their better players, but they got plenty coming back and I really like their coach. Darian DeVries has been with the team two seasons and guided them to back-to-back 20-win campaigns for the first time since the early 70's. Play the Bulldogs +7.5!
11-25-20	East Tennessee State v. Abilene Christian +1.5		47-70	Win	100	28 h 28 m	Show
15* SHARP PLAY on Abilene Christian +1½ -110 We will gladly back Abilene Christian at basically a pick'em here against East Tennessee State. The Wildcats return 4 starters from a 20 win team. The Bucs went 30-4 last year, but lost all 5 starters from that team. East Tenn State is way overvalued coming into this season. Play Abilene Christian +1.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers vs Heat over 214 -110 The OVER (214) is worth a look in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. These two combined for 219 in Game 5. All but one game in this series has seen at least 214 points OVER has gone 14-3 in Heat's last 17 off a win by 6 or less. Play the OVER 214!

20* SHARP PLAY on Heat +7½ -110 The Heat (+7.5) are worth a look in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The Lakers are a massive public play in this one, as they have been in every game this series. LA is definitely the better team, but the number here is just too high. The Heat have shown they can compete. They won Game 3 going away and were a few breaks away from this thing being 2-2 instead of the Lakers leading 3-1. Wouldn't be surprised at all if Miami won this game. Play the Heat +7.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Heat +9½ -105 The Heat (+9.5) are worth a look in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. After the Lakers had another convincing win in Game 2, just about everyone has given LA the title. I agree. The Lakers are going to win this series. That doesn't mean they are going to win this game and it certainly doesn't mean that this one will be as lopsided as the first two. One thing about this Miami team is they will not go down without a fight. If LA lapses at all, they could win this game. Play the Heat +9.5!
10-02-20	Heat v. Lakers UNDER 217	Top	114-124	Loss	-105	33 h 54 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Heat vs Lakers under 217 -105 The UNDER (217) is worth a look in Game 2 Friday night between the Lakers and Heat. Game 1 stayed under the mark, finishing at 214. I expect an even lower scoring Game 2. Miami is down to of their top offensive weapons in Adebayo and Dragic. These two teams also now have a much better understanding of what the other is trying to do offensively. You also got two really good defensive teams in this series. Play the UNDER 217!
09-30-20	Heat +5 v. Lakers	Top	98-116	Loss	-105	31 h 11 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Heat +5 -105 The Heat (+5) are worth a look in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Lakers. LA might have the two best players on the floor in LeBron and AD, but there's no question that Miami has the better depth across the board. I just think the Lakers dynamic has to be so good for them to compete with this Heat attack. Miami gets hot from 3 and there's not a lot you can do. I think they give LA all they can handle in Game 1. Play the Heat +5!
09-23-20	Celtics -3 v. Heat	Top	109-112	Loss	-110	12 h 23 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -3 -110 The Celtics (-3) are worth a look here as slim favorite in Game 4. Boston has had a double-digit lead in every game in the series. They lost the first two and then won in the first game with Hayward back in the lineup. Celtics defense has also gotten better with each game and now Brad Stevens has had 3 days to make even more adjustments. Play the Celtics -3!

20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets +7½ +102 The Nuggets (+7.5) are worth a look in Game 2 against the Lakers. Denver ended up getting blown out in Game 1, but there were some positives. They didn't have Jokic for almost the entire 2nd quarter and only trailed by 11 at the half. They weren't getting the benefit of the call and were really sloppy with the ball (16 turnovers). As bad as they played they still shot 49% from the field and only made 9 3-pointers. I don't if they win, but I think they keep it close. Play the Nuggets +7.5!
09-18-20	Nuggets v. Lakers -6.5	Top	114-126	Win	100	27 h 23 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers -6½ -108 The Lakers (-6.5) are worth a look in Game 1 against the Nuggets. I know LA has not been great in Game 1's so far, losing the series opener against both the Blazers and Rockets. With that said, this is now the Western Conference Finals and with the Clippers and Bucks out of the way, the stage is set for the Lakers to win it all. I expect they show up looking to make a statement. As for the Nuggets, they could be in store for a letdown after just playing a Game 7 vs the Clippers. Play the Lakers -6.5!
09-15-20	Heat v. Celtics OVER 209.5	Top	117-114	Win	100	30 h 53 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Heat vs Celtics over 209½ -110 The OVER (209.5) is worth a look in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Both teams should have fresh legs in this one, which I think will not only lead to a faster pace, but also better shooting from behind the 3-point line. Both teams could also be lacking the defensive intensity in this one. Miami hasn't played in a week and Boston just played a grueling 7 game series against the Raptors. Play the OVER 209.5!
09-11-20	Celtics v. Raptors +2.5	Top	92-87	Loss	-105	31 h 10 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors +2½ -105 The Raptors (+2.5) are worth a look as small dog in Game 7 against the Celtics. I just trust Toronto a lot more in this spot. Boston looked liked the better team early, but have really given this series away. Raptors really shot well from deep in Game 6 (40.4%). If they shoot close to that in this one, they win this one working.
09-10-20	Lakers -5 v. Rockets	Top	110-100	Win	100	33 h 9 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers -5 -105 The Lakers (-5) are worth a look in Game 4 against the Rockets. This feels like a repeat of the first round for LA. Lakers dropped Game 1 against the Blazers and then rolled of 4 straight. They lost Game 1 to Houston and have responded by winning the last two. LA shot just 42% in Game 1 against the Rockets. They hit 57% in Game 2 and 55% in Game 3. They have the Rockets defense figured out and are so good at defending the 3-ball. Houston also really misses House. Play the Lakers -5!
09-09-20	Raptors +3 v. Celtics	Top	125-122	Win	100	30 h 9 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors +3 -100 The Raptors (+3) are worth a look as a dog in Game 6 against Boston. After the way the Celtics dominated Game 5 to take a 3-2 series lead, the betting public can't get enough of Boston in Game 6. I just don't think it's going to be that easy. This Raptors team has a lot of fight in them and I think they find a way to send this to a Game 7. Play Toronto +3!
09-08-20	Heat v. Bucks +3.5	Top	103-94	Loss	-105	33 h 18 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks +3½ -105 The Bucks (+3.5) are worth a look as a small dog in Game 5 against the Heat. Milwaukee was able to avoid the sweep with a win in Game 4 and did so without their best player for the majority of the game. With or without Antetokounmpo in Game 5, I like them to win this game outright. Play the Bucks +3.5!
09-07-20	Clippers -7.5 v. Nuggets	Top	113-107	Loss	-110	28 h 57 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -7½ -110 The Clippers (-7.5) are worth a look in Game 3 against the Nuggets. LA had their way in a 120-97 win in Game 1. It certainly looked like the Clippers took their foot off the gas to start out Game 2. They stepped it up a notch in the 2nd half. They nearly pulled out a win, but had simply dug themselves too big a hole. Nuggets only had 38 points in the 2nd half! LA won't be messing around with the series now tied 1-1. Play the Clippers -7.5!
09-06-20	Bucks v. Heat UNDER 220	Top	118-115	Loss	-110	33 h 26 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks vs Heat under 220 -110 The UNDER (220) is worth a look in Game 4 between the Heat and Bucks. It's well known that no team has come back from a 3-0 deficit. While the series may be over, I don't see Milwaukee going down without a fight. Bucks have the talent to pull this feat off. Miami on the other hand could have a hard time locking and maybe just aren't quite as sharp on the offensive end as they have been in the first 3. Play the UNDER 220!
09-05-20	Nuggets +9 v. Clippers	Top	110-101	Win	100	34 h 34 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets +9 -104 The Nuggets (+9) are worth a look here in Game 2 against the Clippers. Denver just didn't have anything left in the tank for Game 1 of this series, as they were just two days away from a grueling 7-game series against the Jazz. One in which they won after trailing 3-1 in the series. I expect to see a much effort and performance out of the Nuggets in Game 2. Play Denver +9!
09-04-20	Rockets +7 v. Lakers	Top	112-97	Win	100	32 h 2 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Rockets +7 -115 The Rockets (+7) are worth a look here in Game 1 against the Lakers. I think there's some that will be looking to fade Houston fresh off a Game 7 against OKC, but I see too much value to pass up. Rockets really matchup well with Los Angeles. They should have a huge advantage at the 3-point line in this series. I don't know if they win the game, but I expect this to come right down to the wire. Play the Rockets +7!
09-02-20	Heat v. Bucks -4.5	Top	116-114	Loss	-110	19 h 6 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -4½ -110 The Bucks (-4.5) are worth a look in Game 2 against the Heat. Miami surprised a lot of people with their 115-104 win in Game 1. I like this Heat team a lot, but the Bucks are a great team. I'm confident Milwaukee responds in a big way to even up the series at 1-1. Keep in mind that they started out great in Game 1, as they led 40-29 at the end of the 1st quarter. They also shot just 53.8% from the free throw line and had 19 turnovers. Play the Bucks -4.5!
09-01-20	Celtics +1.5 v. Raptors	Top	102-99	Win	100	29 h 1 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics +1½ -103 The Celtics (+1.5) are worth a look here as a dog in Game 2 against the Raptors. Boston completely dominated Toronto in a 112-94 Game 1 win. The Celtics defense made life absolutely miserable for the Raptors. Toronto shot just 37% from the field. Boston has owned the Raptors all season and I just don't see this one going a whole lot different than the first. Play the Celtics +1.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Rockets -5½ -105 The Rockets (-5.5) are worth a shot in Game 6 against OKC. I just feel that Houston has proven they are the better team and now that they got Westbrook back this thing is over. Thunder will put up a fight early, but they simply don't have the scoring to keep pace. Another offensive night like they had in Game 5 and we will be cashing this thing by halftime. Play the Rockets -5.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Thunder vs Rockets over 226 -110 The OVER (226) is worth a look in Saturday's Game 5 matchup between the Rockets and Thunder. Not only will Houston's Russell Westbrook be making his series debut, but these teams ended up having 4 days off since Game 4. Fresh legs should lead to some better shooting, especially from the Rockets with all those 3-pointers they take. OKC has also seemed to figure out this Houston defense. This should easily get to 230. Play the OVER 226!
08-25-20	Jazz v. Nuggets UNDER 220.5	Top	107-117	Loss	-110	28 h 30 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz vs Nuggets under 220½ -110 The UNDER (220.5) is worth a look in Game 5 between the Nuggets and Jazz. Utah is due for some regression here, as they have now shot 50% or better from the field in 3 straight games. I get the Nuggets defense is a big part of the problem, but Utah is not as good a 3-point shooting team as we have seen in this series. If the shots don't fall for these two, the pace really isn't there for this to get over the mark. Play the UNDER 220.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers +7 +102 The Pacers (+7) are worth a look in Game 4 against the Heat. Miami has a commanding 3-0 series lead and I think a lot of people will just assume the Pacers will lay down given the circumstances. I just don't see that happening. Miami has been the better team, but Indiana is a few breaks away from flipping this series around. If anything I think the Heat could be the ones that don't show up with the right mindset for this one. Play the Pacers +7!

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets +13 -110 The Nets (+13) are definitely worth a look in Sunday's Game 4 showdown with the Raptors. Toronto has a commanding 3-0 series lead and could find it hard to bring their "A" game to this one. Brooklyn never really had a shot from the start of the bubble, but this team has really played hard. Toronto wins, but by less than double-digits. Play the Nets +13!
08-22-20	Lakers v. Blazers OVER 225	Top	116-108	Loss	-100	30 h 42 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers vs Blazers over 225 +101 The OVER (225) is worth a look in Game 3 on Saturday between the Lakers and Blazers. These two haven't sniffed the total in the first two games. They haven't even got to 200 combined points. All that changes in Game 3. Portland is too good a shooting team to shoot as poorly as they have in this series. As good as the Lakers are defensively, Blazers are going to shoot better than 40%. Something they haven't done yet. Lakers offense was much better in Game 2 and should continue to score against this poor Blazers defense. Play the OVER 225!

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -4½ -110 The Celtics (-4.5) are worth a look in Game 3 against the 76ers. I know this is a do-or-die situation for Philadelphia down 0-2, I just don't think it matters. Boston is hands down the better team. Jason Tatum is evolving into an elite player and without Ben Simmons the 76ers really have no shot. Play Boston -4.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers +5 -110 The Pacers (+5) are worth a look in Game 2 against the Heat. Miami took Game 1 by a final of 113-101 and there's a chance Oladipo doesn't play in Game 2. I liked what I saw from Indiana after Oladipo went down. They are clearly going to be the more motivated team in Game 2. Heat are just 13-22 ATS off a game where they covered and a mere 17-36 ATS last 53 aoff a win by 10 or more. Play the Pacers +5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz vs Nuggets under 218½ -110 The UNDER (218.5) is worth a look in Game 2 between the Nuggets and Jazz. These two went off for 260 points in Game 1 (30 points in OT), but I see that as an outlier. Both teams couldn't miss. Utah shot 47% from the field and Denver hit 52%. Jazz made 16 3-pointers and Nuggets connected on 22. You also had two guys go off with Mitchell scoring 57 and Murray putting in 36. Play the UNDER 218.5!

15* SHARP PLAY on Blazers +5½ +102 The Blazers (+5.5) are worth a look as they open their playoff series against No. 1 seeded Lakers. Portland did what a lot of people expected (which is not easy) and fought their way into the playoffs during the 8-game restart. I know the Lakers haven't had a ton to play for of late and it can be hard to just flip the switch. Portland has been in playoff mode since the bubble started. Play the Blazers +5.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers +4 -102 The Pacers (+4) are worth a look in Tuesday's NBA Playoff opener against the Heat. I've really been impressed with what Indiana has brought to the table in the bubble. I can't explain how, but T.J. Warren has transformed into a star. As much as I like this Heat team, I think this line should be closer to a pick'em, so there's clear value on Indiana. Play the Pacers +4!

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors -9½ +102 Toronto (-9.5) is worth a look in their playoff series opener against the Nets. Brooklyn played better than anyone expected in the bubble. They went 5-3 SU and 6-2 ATS (covered 6 of last 7). I just think a lot of that was teams not giving Brooklyn the respect they deserved. Toronto isn't going to make that mistake. This team is 100% locked in to get back to the NBA Finals. They dominate this one. Play the Raptors -9.5!
08-15-20	Grizzlies +6 v. Blazers	Top	122-126	Win	100	16 h 41 m	Show
20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies +6 -110 The Grizzlies (+6) are worth a look. Most aren't giving Memphis any shot at getting past the Blazers to face the Lakers in the first round. I believe it's created some value with the Grizzlies here. Keep in mind this is do or die only for Memphis. If they lose they are done. If Portland loses they play again tomorrow. With the way the Blazers are playing defense, this is a really big number to ask them to cover in this spot. Play Memphis +6!
