Sports Picks & Predictions

This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Utah has won two straight games following its win over Golden St. on Friday so it has had a solid layoff to rest and get a key component back. The Jazz are hoping to have point back Mike Conley back on Tuesday as he has missed the past five games with a hamstring injury. Conley participated in Sunday's practice and he indicated he can feel the improvement. They improved to 10-3 at home and the Jazz are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS loss. Orlando broke a three-game slide and achieved a season-high point total as the Magic rolled to a 130-119 road win over the Pelicans on Sunday. Orlando is 4-8 on the road and those four wins have come against Cleveland twice (6-21) Washington (8-17) and New Orleans (6-21) so it has beaten no one of note away from home and it has won only once in eight games as a road underdog. The Magic are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after two straight games allowing 50 percent shooting or higher going up against an opponent after two straight games making nine or more three-point shots. This situation is 72-33 ATS (68.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (510) Utah Jazz

This is a play on the CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS for our CBB Tuesday Star Attraction. Creighton is 8-2 this season, including an 83-76 overtime win vs. No. 12 Texas Tech in Las Vegas on Nov. 29 and a 95-76 romp over Nebraska on Dec. 7. The Bluejays are 7-0 at home this year, with each victory coming by nine points or more. This team is playing exceptionally well right now evidenced by its fast starts. Creighton has played four straight games with a halftime lead of 14+ points for the first time since Nov. 22-Dec. 6, 2003. That ties into a recent trend as Creighton is 6-0 ATS in its last 6 games after leading in their previous game by 15 or more points at the half. Oklahoma is off to a 7-2 start but it coming off a loss to Wichita St. on Saturday and has now failed to cover five of its last six games. The Sooners are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 road games after allowing 80 points or more. This is a revenge game for the Bluejays as they lost at Oklahoma last season by 13 points nearly a year ago to the day. Here, we play on teams where the line is +3 to -3 after leading their last three games by five points or more at the half going up against an opponent after scoring 75 points or more three straight games. This situation is 74-38 ATS (66.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (612) Creighton Bluejays

This is a play on the INDIANAPOLIS COLTS for our NFL Monday Primetime Punisher. The money and the public is on the Saints here which comes as no surprise and that has driven this line up to double-digits in some places. The Saints are coming off a tough loss against the 49ers last Sunday but have still clinched the division but they can win out and still get the third seed if they don't receive some extra help. The New Orleans defense has regressed and that is not ideal when laying a number this big as the Saints enter this game ranked 13th in total defense, surrendering 338 ypg and 17th in points allowed at 22.8 ppg. New Orleans is 7-17 ATS in its last 24 home games as favorites coming off a home loss including 0-7 ATS when laying more than a touchdown. Indianapolis needs to win out and get some help for the postseason as it is a game and a half out of the final Wild Card spot in the AFC. The Colts are 2-4 on the road but three of those losses came by a combined eight points and the other came in overtime. Indianapolis is 9-0 ATS in its last nine games against NFC teams .500 or better. Here, we play on road underdogs or pickems off a road loss by three points or less, in the last four weeks of the regular season. This situation is 24-5 ATS (82.8 percent) since 1983. 10* (333) Indianapolis Colts

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Heat faced a Dallas team that lost MVP candidate Luka Doncic to an ankle injury in the first quarter, but Miami was without Justise Winslow and Goran Dragic. Miami went on to win that game in overtime on Saturday which was its seventh win in nine games, the two losses coming against the Lakers and Celtics which have a combined 10 losses and on the season, it has just one loss against a losing team. Miami is 13-1 ATS against Southwest division opponents over the last two seasons while going 11-2-1 ATS in their last 14 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. Memphis has been playing better of late as it has won three of its last four games but none of those wins were against winning teams. The Grizzlies have won just three of 13 games as home underdogs and their four home wins are tied for third fewest in the NBA. Grizzlies are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play against home underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are getting outscored by their opponents by six or more ppg going up against an opponent after allowing 105 points or more four straight games. This situation is 49-18 ATS (73.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (583) Miami Heat

This is a play on the MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Marshall is coming off a 23-win season which was culminated by winning the College Insider Tournament. This despite of lack of size and depth but the Thundering Hers are stronger in those categories this season. They found its way back into the winning column, picking up its third win of the season following a three-game losing streak. Marshall is now 3-6 overall in non-conference play. Marshall is ranked second in the CUSA with an average of 76.6 possessions per game. The uptempo Thundering Herd have raised that total to 78 possessions per game over their last five games. Marshall sits in first in the Division I in blocks per game with 7.7. The Thundering Herd sit second in Conference USA and 34th in the country in steals per game with 9.2. While just 0-3 on the road, those losses came against Toledo, picked to win the MAC West, Notre Dame and Florida. Morehead St. has lost five of its last six games and while the Eagles are undefeated at home, they have played nobody. The Eagles are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games as a home favorite. Here, we play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 in a game involving two teams averaging 20 or more three-pointers per game after three straight game shooting 40 percent or less. This situation is 37-14 ATS (72.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (821) Marshall Thundering Herd

This is a play on the BROOKLYN NETS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Brooklyn is coming off a loss against Toronto on Saturday which was its second straight loss, the first time it has lost consecutive games for the first time in the absence of Kyrie Irving. The Nets are 9-5 without Irving and have used the same starting lineup of Spencer Dinwiddie, Garrett Temple, Jarrett Allen, Taurean Prince and Joe Harris in each game with Irving out. Brooklyn had covered five straight prior to this and it will be out for some payback as this is the first meeting since the Sixers ousted them from the playoffs last season. The Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as a home underdog. Philadelphia has won five straight games with only one of those coming on the road however. Additionally, four of Philadelphia's wins during its streak were by single digits so it has not exactly been dominating. The Sixers are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games as a road favorite. Here, we play against road favorites when playing their 3rd game in four days, in December games. This situation is 58-29 ATS (66.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (570) Brooklyn Nets

This is a play on the BRADLEY BRAVES for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Both Georgia Southern and Bradley come in riding modest two-game winning streaks and we give the edge to the home team. The Braves are a perfect 7-0 at home this season which includes a very impressive win over Kansas St. and they are outscoring opponents by over 20 ppg. Bradley's Darrell Brown, Nate Kennell and Koch Bar have combined to score 43 percent of the team's points this season, including 37 percent of all Braves scoring over the last five games. Bradley has an assist on 55 of 89 field goals (61.8 percent) across its past three outings while Georgia Southern has assists on 33 of 82 field goals (40.2 percent) during its past three games. The Eagles are coming off a win over Carver Bible College and they hit the road where they are 1-2 on the season. They play at a fast pace but they have one of the worst defenses in the country and that is a problem against the potent Braves offense. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by eight or more ppg, after leading in their previous game by 20 or more points at the half. This situation is 34-7 ATS (82.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (800) Bradley Braves

This is a play on the DALLAS COWBOYS for our NFL Game of the Year. The advanced line for this game was Dallas -3.5 which was released on Tuesday but after the Dallas loss on Thursday, the number came down to -3 and then after the Rams blowout winner over Seattle on Sunday night, the line came down once again and this is the time to buy. The Cowboys have lost three straight games to fall to 6-7 and this is a must win game with their following contest taking place at Philadelphia which will most likely decide the NFC East. In the loss against the Bears, Dallas still won the yardage battle for the ninth straight game. Dallas is 19-8 ATS in its last 27 home games after having lost three out of their last four games. The Rams are coming off the impressive win over Seattle to remain in the Wild Card hunt. They are one game behind the Vikings for the second Wild Card spot and the Rams are going to have to get some help from the Vikings. While the offense has looked good the last two games, quarterback Jared Goff is having a mediocre season, posting 3712 passing yards with a 15:14 TD to INT ratio. The Rams are 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 games as an underdog. The game will be a rematch of the NFC Divisional round matchup from last season, when Dallas traveled to Los Angeles and got their pride handed to them. Head coach Sean McVay used a combination of Todd Gurley and C.J. Anderson to rush for over 250 yards on the Dallas defense and the Cowboys were outgained 459-308 making revenge a big factor. Here, we play on home favorites after having lost four or five out of their last six games, with a winning percentage between .450 and .550 on the season. This situation is 24-6 ATS (80 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (330) Dallas Cowboys

This is a play on the OAKLAND RAIDERS for our NFL Sunday Enforcer. After three straight losses, the Raiders are nearly eliminated from playoff contention so one could argue there is little motivation on the Oakland sideline. That could be the furthest from the truth. This is the final game being played in Oakland as it will be calling Las Vegas home starting next season so there will be plenty of motivation to pull out one final victory for the home crowd. It was a rough second half last week for the Raiders but they are in a great bounce back spot here facing a team that has mailed it in. The Raiders are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. Jacksonville has lost five straight games and none have been close as those losses have all come by at least 17 points and by an average of 23.4 ppg. The Jaguars are officially out of the playoff mix and are ready for the season to end. The Jaguars are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. Here, we play on favorites after failing to cover the spread in 4 out of their last 5 games, after the first month of the season. This situation is 105-67 ATS (61 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (324) Oakland Raiders

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CHARGERS for our NFL Sunday Ultimate Underdog. Los Angeles is coming off a much needed win last week at Jacksonville. The Chargers have already been eliminated from playoff contention, but they've got more than enough talent and motivation to worry the Vikings in their final road game of the regular season. Los Angeles' eight losses have all been by seven points or fewer, leaving the Chargers out of the playoff race despite a plus-38 point differential and elite talent on both sides of the ball. The Chargers are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. Minnesota is coming off a win against Detroit last week to make it three wins in its last four games to keep hold of the top Wild Card spot in the NFC. This is not the ideal spot as after losing 37-30 at Seattle two games ago, they're 1-6 on the road in the Mountain and Pacific time zones in six seasons under coach Mike Zimmer. The Vikings are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game. Here, we play on teams where the line is +3 to -3 after four consecutive games where they forced one or less turnovers going up against an opponent after a game where they committed no turnovers. This situation is 40-15 ATS (72.7 percent) since 1983. 9* (332) Los Angeles Chargers

This is a play on the TENNESSEE TITANS for our NFL Sunday Afternoon Dominator. Tennessee put on a second half show last week as it broke open a 21-21 tie at halftime by scoring 21 unanswered points. Coupled with the Houston loss, the Titans moved into a tie for first place in the AFC South so this is a big game for both sides. Tennessee is playing excellent right now as its four straight wins trail only Baltimore for the longest active streak in the league. The Titans are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games against teams with a winning road record. Houston is coming off a bad loss against the Broncos and while it has been solid coming off a loss, there is one significant factor. The Texans are 4-0 following a defeat but all four of those follow up wins came at home. This is a bad spot as the Texans are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 road games against teams with a winning home record. Here, we play on favorites with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after beating the spread by 35 or more points total in their last five games, a playing a team with a winning record in the second half of the season. This situation is 25-6 ATS (80.6 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (314) Tennessee Titans

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. We won with Miami last night as it covered against the Lakers in a highly anticipated game so this calls for a Saturday letdown. The Heat took an eight-point lead into the break but Los Angeles had a big third quarter and they could not recover in the three-point loss. They have fallen into third place in the Eastern Conference after suffering their first home loss of the season. Miami is 0-4 when playing with no rest this season, covering none of those games. Dallas, which has won 17 of its first 24 games for its best start to a season since 2014-15, is coming off a win over Detroit n Thursday in a game that took place in Mexico City. The Mavericks are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play against underdogs off a cover where the team lost the game straight up as an underdog, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .750. This situation is 65-19 ATS (77.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (558) Dallas Mavericks

This is a play on the ARIZONA ST. SUN DEVILS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. Georgia has won two straight games but those came against Chaminade and North Carolina Central and now it travels for its first true road game of the season. One factor that Georgia needed to improve upon from last season was long range shooting. The Bulldogs shot 32.2 percent from behind the arc which was 332nd in the nation and while that ranking has improved to 229th in the country, they are at just 32 percent with a lot of that to do with the new length and other teams not being able to adjust. The Bulldogs are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up win. Arizona St. has won four straight games but failed to cover three of those as double-digit favorites. We do not have to worry about that here by laying a short price and going back, the Sun Devils are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS loss. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving teams outscoring opponents by 8.0 or more ppg, after scoring 85 points or more. This situation is 91-50 ATS (6.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (746) Arizona St. Sun Devils

This is a play on the UTAH ST. AGGIES as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. Utah St. and BYU square off in the second game of the Beehive Classic and the Aggies are in excellent shape to break a seven-game losing streak in this series. Utah St. has just one loss this season, an eight-point loss at St. Marys which is nothing to shrug about. The Aggies have been pegged to win the MWC after going 28-7 last season and have four starters back including All-MWC Preseason Player of the Year Sam Merrill who missed the last game but will be back tonight. BYU is an improved and in their last two contests, the Cougars have rolled over MWC teams. They blasted UNLV a week ago, 83-50, and then thumped Nevada, 75-42, earlier this week. The Aggies have held opponents to 37.8 percent shooting for the season and 60.3 ppg. Defense will be key against BYU, who is shooting 48.6 percent from the floor and averaging 77.5 ppg. Here, we play on neutral court teams as a favorite or pickem, averaging 76 ppg going up against teams averaging between 74 and 76 ppg, after scoring 75 points or more two straight games. This situation is 208-134 ATS (60.8 percent) since 1997. 10* (767) Utah St. Aggies

This is a play on the NEW MEXICO LOBOS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. New Mexico looks to build off a four-game winning streak as it heads back home following a 14-point win at Wyoming a week ago. Undefeated at home this year at 6-0, the Lobos have won their last eight games here dating back to last season. This year, their scoring offense ranks 63rd nationally (78.4 ppg) coupled with the nation's 23rd-highest field goal percentage (48.7 percent). New Mexico St. is expected to have another strong season but has already matched its loss total from all of last season. The Aggies are still without point guard A.J. Harris and he is a big part of this team on both sides of the floor as he was second team All-WAC and first team All-WAC defense. This is the second meeting this season with the Lobos coming out on top in the first meeting to snap a five-game losing streak in this series. While revenge may be on the side of the Aggies, New Mexico should be more motivated here against its hated rival. New Mexico St. is in search of its third-consecutive victory over the Lobos in Albuquerque which is a run the Aggies haven't been able to accomplish in almost 80 years. 9* (736) New Mexico Lobos

This is a play on the ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS for our CFB Saturday Army/Navy Enforcer. It has been a tough season for Army that came in with high expectations following an 11-2 season a year ago. The Black Knights opened 3-1 with the lone loss coming at Michigan in overtime. It has been a 2-6 finish but five of those losses came by single digits. Army has won the last three games in the series. Although the Black Knights (5-7) are having an off-year compared with Navy (9-2), a victory for the Midshipmen is certainly not guaranteed. Another win over Navy on Saturday would give the Black Knights their first four-game winning streak in the rivalry since 1993 to 1996. Navy turned things around after going 3-10 last season as it is 9-2 with the tow losses coming against Memphis and Notre Dame. Army has outgained four of its last five opponents so it is playing better than the record shows which makes the points being a premium. Seven of the nine Army-Navy Games in this decade have been decided by a touchdown or less. The only two to get out of hand in Navy's favor came before Army hired Jeff Monken. Here, we play on neutral field underdogs that are outrushing their opponents by 100 or more ypg on the season, after gaining 225 or more rushing yards in three straight games. This situation is 29-6 ATS (82.9 percent) since 1992 including a perfect 15-0 ATS over the last five seasons. 10* (303) Army Black Knights

This is a play on the COLORADO BUFFALOES for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Colorado came into the week ranked in the AP Top 25 but that will be long gone following a pair of losses against Kansas and Northern Iowa. The Buffaloes have failed to cover in any of their last six games but there will be plenty of motivation here against their rival and they do not play again for six days when they face Prairie View. The disruptive Colorado defense has forced opponents to turn the ball over on 25.4 percent of all possessions, the 23rd-best rate in the nation. Colorado St. has a forced-turnover percentage of only 17.6 percent through 12 games which is 301st in the country. Colorado St. is coming off a narrow win over South Dakota St. but momentum is not on its side. The two losses that came before that victory came in early MWC play, a 79-57 blowout defeat at home to San Diego St. followed by a 75-64 setback at Boise St. Opponents have found too many open shots along the way with the Rams 246th in the country allowing opponents to convert nearly 45 percent from the field. Colorado has been pegged to win the Pac 12 while the Rams are expected to finish toward the bottom of the MWC so the talent differential here is pretty big. 10* (675) Colorado Buffaloes

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Friday Star Attraction. The Lakers have won and covered five straight games while winning 15 of their last 16 to remain 3.5 games in front of the Clippers in the Western Conference. At 22-3, they are tied with the Bucks for the best record in the NBA and now the linesmakers are being forced to overprice Los Angeles. In its last game at Orlando, the line closed at 8.5 and the Heat are more than three points better than the Magic. Miami is having its own special season as it sits at 18-6 and is in second place in the Eastern Conference. This was not expected but the addition of Jimmy Butler and the emergence of rookie Kendrick Nunn has made the Heat an unexpected force. They are riding a three-game winning streak and while the last two have come in overtime, the last game played was on Tuesday so there has been plenty of time for rest. Miami is one of just two undefeated teams at home and going back, the Heat are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as home underdogs. Here, we play against road teams after three consecutive covers as a favorite, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 44-15 ATS (74.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (540) Miami Heat

This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. We played against Boston last night and had its four-game winning streak snapped in a 122-117 loss to the Pacers but the Celtics return home in a great bounce back spot. Boston is one of three NBA teams still undefeated at home, a list that includes the 76ers (13-0), who are 5-7 on the road, however. The Celtics are 10-0 here and going into tonight, both teams have 17 wins while the Celtics are ahead by 2 in the loss column. The 76ers were expected to be a top defensive team, and they are. However, the Celtics are tied with them in Defensive Rating at 103, good for 3rd in the league. What separates these teams at the moment is on the offensive side. The Celtics are ranked 7th while the Sixers (who struggle with spacing) are only 13th. While the 76ers enter having won three straight and seven of eight, Boston has revenge on its side as well. Boston got thumped in the first meeting, losing by 14 points in the season opener. The total margin of defeat in the other five losses the Celtics have taken is 18 points, making the Philadelphia loss far and away their most lopsided of the season. Here, we play against road underdogs after beating the spread by 24 or more points total in their last three games, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 103-55 ATS (65.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (524) Boston Celtics

This is a play on the IOWA ST. CYCLONES for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Iowa St. is coming off a win on Sunday over Seton Hal which avenged a loss to the Pirates 10 days prior in the Bahamas and now the Cyclones will be out for revenge against their hated rival. The home team has won four straight in this series including an Iowa win by 14 points last season in a game that Iowa St. was actually favored in on the road. Iowa St. is 5-0 at Hilton Coliseum this season and puts its 12-game non-conference home winning streak on the line Thursday. Taking care of the ball has been the key to success for the Cyclones as they have had fewer turnovers than their opponent in all nine games this season and the starting guard trio of Tyrese Haliburton, Rasir Bolton and Prentiss Nixon own a 2.1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Overall, the Cyclones rank 18th nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio, ninth in turnover margin and 21st in turnovers per game. Iowa comes in at just 1-2 on the road and going back, the Hawkeyes are just 5-18 ATS in their last 23 road games. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams outscoring opponents by 8.0 or more ppg, after two straight wins by 10 points or more. This situation is 87-47 ATS (64.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (664) Iowa St. Cyclones

This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. This is a contrarian play on the Pelicans with two teams on totally opposite runs. New Orleans has lost nine straight games while failing to cover eight of those. The Bucks meanwhile have won 15 straight games so these recent results are inflating this line in a big way. Milwaukee is just 7-8 ATS in those games as the lines have already been inflated and it is just 4-7 ATS this season as a double-digit favorite. For New Orleans, Derrick Favors is likely to return and his importance to the success of the team cannot be understated. New Orleans is surrendering 52.1 paint points per game to their opponents, the third-highest mark in the NBA and have allowed the most shot attempts per game within the restricted area this season. Here, we play against home favorites of 10 or more points with a winning percentage of .750 or better after having covered two of their last three games against the spread, a playing a team with a winning percentage between .250 and .400. This situation is 94-51 ATS (64.8 percent) since 1996. 9* (517) New Orleans Pelicans

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. Utah has been a major disappointment this season as it comes in with a 13-11 record but expectations were much higher than this and the struggles have been escalated recently. After an awful roadtrip in which the Jazz went just 1-4 and were blown out three times followed up immediately by a blowout loss to the Lakers, a win over the Grizzlies would have though to right the ship but that was followed up by another bad loss against the Thunder. Utah is just 2-6 since November 25, both wins coming against the Grizzlies. Minnesota last lost five straight games while failing to cover any of those and brings in a mediocre 3-7 record at home including five straight losses. That is keeping this number down and we have no problem backing them here as a home underdog. Here, we play on teams where the line is +3 to -3 revenging a home loss going up against an opponent off an upset loss as a home favorite. This situation is 33-11 ATS (75 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (512) Minnesota Timberwolves

This is a play on the TULSA GOLDEN HURRICANE for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Tulsa is coming off a bad loss on Saturday as it lost at home against Arkansas St. as a 12.5-point favorite. It was their first non-conference loss in 19 games for the Golden Hurricane which had won six straight games prior to that. It was a bad luck game as Tulsa shot 51.1 percent from the floor but the difference was from the free throw line as Arkansas St. went 14-17 while Tulsa was just 8-11 from the charity stripe. Tulsa was 18-14 last season and while just two starters came back, Martins Igbanu is a potential All-AAC player and the addition of transfer Brandon Rachal has been huge as he is averaging 15.9 ppg and 7.1 rpg while shooting 59 percent from the floor. Boise St. comes into this game following a 75-64 win at home against Colorado St. which was the Broncos first in Mountain West Conference victory this season after losing its opener at New Mexico. The Broncos have covered five straight games which is a big reason they are getting two-thirds of the action here yet the line has actually stayed firm. Last season, Tulsa was one of just seven Division I programs without a scholarship freshmen on its roster but this season, the 14-man roster has a combined 18 years of Division I playing experience which will pay dividends in a bounce back spot. 10* (642) Tulsa Golden Hurricane

This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. Boston has won four straight games but the last three have come at home where it is a perfect 10-0 on the season. The Celtics are just 7-5 on the road which is good for a lot of teams but the home/road dichotomy is important here. They are just 2-4 over their last six road games with one of those wins coming against the 4-20 Knicks. After suffering a deflating loss at home by the hands of the Clippers on Monday, the Pacers are now in sixth place in the Eastern Conference with a 15-9 record. However, the return of a healthy Malcolm Brogdon is a glaring positive as he is averaging a career high 19.1 ppg. The Pacers are 3-0 ATS as underdogs of fewer than five points and going back, they are 21-5 ATS in their last 26 games following a double-digit loss at home. Here, we play against road teams after three consecutive covers as a favorite, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 43-15 ATS (74.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (502) Indiana Pacers

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. We lost with Portland on Sunday as it shot just 36 percent from the field, including 9-33 from three-point range, in a game in which it was outhustled by the Thunder. Forward Carmelo Anthony shot 4 of 18 while scoring nine points, guard Kent Bazemore was 3 of 11 while also scoring nine points and shooting guard CJ McCollum made 8 of 21 shots while tallying 20 points. The Blazers are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. The Knicks put up a solid effort in the first game with interim head coach Mike Miller as they lost by just a point against Indiana on Saturday. New York has lost seven games by 20 or more points and hasn't notched a victory since defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers on Nov. 18, losing nine straight games since then. New York is 2-11 ATS in its last 13 games off two or more consecutive home losses. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after allowing 100 points or more in three straight games going up against an opponent after trailing their last three games by five or more points at the half. This situation is 25-4 ATS (86.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (580) Portland Trail Blazers

This is a play on the INDIANA HOOSIERS for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. Indiana and Connecticut square off in the second game of the Jimmy V Classic from MSG and this is an important game for both side. Both have been out of the national conversation over the past few years, with neither team making the NCAA Tournament since 2016, but this game will hold a lot of weight as both programs are looking to have rejuvenating seasons. Indiana opened the season 8-0 but is coming off an uninspiring effort against Wisconsin on Saturday in its Big Ten opener as it lost by 20 points. That was the Hoosiers first venture away from home which puts them in a good spot tonight to bounce back. Connecticut has won three straight games to improve to 6-2 on the season. The Huskies are not a very good shooting team, especially from two-point range where they are shooting just 45 percent which is No. 283 in the country. Connecticut makes up for it with strong rebounding but Indiana holds a 10.4 rebounding advantage over its opponents. Additionally, Indiana leads the country in free throws made per game (20.9) and free throws attempted per game (29.7). Here, we play on neutral court teams as a favorite or pickem that are averaging 76 or more ppg after two or more consecutive overs, going up against teams averaging between 74 and 76 ppg. This situation is 55-24 ATS (69.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (629) Indiana Hoosiers

This is a play on the NEW YORK GIANTS for our NFL Monday Primetime Punisher. The Giants have lost eight in a row but could spoil Philadelphia's playoff hopes with a victory. Eli Manning is expected to make his first start since Week 2 because rookie Daniel Jones has a high ankle sprain. Manning struggled in his first two starts but there was a lot of pressure on him to keep his job and now with that pressure being lifted, he should be able to go out and just play. The Giants are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a road underdog. Despite their poor record, the Eagles would win the NFC East by winning their last four games. But when you lose 7 of 12, three in a row, and at the woeful Dolphins, nothing is guaranteed. The Eagles have not shown the ability to put a team away aside from their life-draining drive against the Bears in Week Nine, their win over the Bills in Week Eight and the rout of the Jets in Week Five. The Eagles are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games against teams with a losing road record. Here, we play against home favorites of 3.5 to 10 points after allowing 30 points or more last game going up against an opponent after scoring 14 points or less in two straight games. This situation is 49-20 ATS (71 percent) since 1983. 10* (159) New York Giants

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Iowa looks to bounce back from its first conference loss of the season as it fell at No. 4 Michigan on Friday 103-91. The Hawkeyes are now 6-3 on the season and their three defeats have come to teams with a combined 26-1 record (DePaul, San Diego St., Michigan). Iowa will be playing its first home game since Nov. 24 versus Cal Poly. Minnesota is playing first game in a week after it defeated Clemson 78-60 at home in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. This is the first conference game of the season for the Gophers and they are making their first road trip since Nov. 15 at Utah. Minnesota is making its living behind the three-point arc. Its 9.6 made threes per game ranks 29th nationally and first in the Big Ten but it is shooting just 35.4 percent on 218 attempts, which ranks 101st in the country. Minnesota is 0-2 on the road and going back, Iowa holds a 57-41 advantage in games played in Iowa City and a 21-10 advantage at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa has won 12 of the last 17 meetings in Iowa City, including five of the last six. The Hawkeyes are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss while the Gophers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win. 10* (824) Iowa Hawkeyes

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Portland is coming off its first home loss since signing Carmelo Anthony but he cannot be to blame as the Lakers once again rolled from start to finish in their 23-point victory. The Blazers were on a 4-1 run prior to that and they are still an underachieving five games under .500 for the season. This includes a 4-5 record at home which leads to the short price tonight. the Blazers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Oklahoma City is coming off an improbable win on Friday as it forced overtime on a hail mary layup to close regulation. Oklahoma City improved to 7-5 at home but hits the highway at just 2-7. The Thunder are 0-4 ATS in their last four games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. The Blazers are 2-0 against the Thunder this season. Portland won 102-99 in Oklahoma City on Oct. 30 and prevailed 136-119 at home on Nov. 27. 10* (552) Portland Trail Blazers

This is a play on the BUFFALO BULLS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. We won with DePaul on Wednesday as it defeated Texas Tech and a big reason for the play was the line was off based on the prior season results for the Red Raiders. That is continuing here as the Blue Demons win was a quality one, but not one that should affect their lines going forward but that is the case here. DePaul is 9-0 and a team on the rise based on their big recruiting class but this is not a good spot for them coming off their biggest win of the season. Buffalo was the power team in the MAC last season with a 16-2 record and the Bulls won 59 games over the previous two seasons. While there is some expected dropoff, there is not enough to warrant a line of this sort. In two road games this season against major opposition, the Bulls were getting three and Connecticut and four at Vanderbilt and now they are suddenly getting nine at DePaul. Here, we play on road teams as an underdog or pickem after allowing 90 points or more going up against an opponent after two straight wins by six points or less. This situation is 98-55 ATS (64.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (797) Buffalo Bulls

This is a play on the OAKLAND RAIDERS for our NFL Sunday Afternoon Dominator. The Raiders were looking good for a playoff spot just three weeks ago but laid a pair of eggs on the road against the Jets and Chiefs, getting outscored by a combined 74-12. The schedule has been brutal from a travel aspect as the Raiders went six weeks without a home game between September and the end of October and after a three-game homestand, had to travel the last two weeks. Oakland did go 3-0 in those three home games and it is far from done in the AFC as a win here puts them in a tie with the Titans and possibly the Steelers if they lose at Arizona for the second Wild Card spot. Tennessee has won three straight and five of six but four of those wins were at home and had the fluke road win last week. The Titans host Houston next week so there is the possibility of a lookahead which makes this a flat spot if that is the case. They are getting outgained by over 60 ypg and even with Ryan Tannehill at quarterback, there is inconsistencies. Here, we play on teams after scoring nine points or less in two straight games. This situation is 33-14 ATS (70.2 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (156) Oakland Raiders

This is a play on the BUFFALO BILLS for our NFL Game of the Week. We bet against Baltimore again last week as it finally paid off as the Ravens snuck by a quality opponent. While some may not think it, Buffalo is another quality opponent as its 9-3 record indicates. The line is inflated once again as the book want to avoid liability after getting crushed for five straight games. The San Francisco defense did a great job on the Ravens offense, holding them to a season low 20 points. The Bills defense is built similarly to the 49ers and it is a legit unit. On the other side, Josh Allen has been sensational since the Patriots game with just the one hiccup against Cleveland. Buffalo gained the early action causing the line to go from -6 to -5 on Sunday. When Monday hit, the action switched and the Ravens were getting hit hard moving the line to 5.5 and the action has remained on the Baltimore side yet the line has increased to -6 as of Friday night. Here, we plat on home teams off an upset win as an underdog, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages of .750 or better. This situation is 29-8 ATS (78.4 percent) since 1983. 10* (132) Buffalo Bills

This is a play on the INDIANAPOLIS COLTS for our NFL Sunday Enforcer. The Colts burned us last week as they were ready to take the lead against Tennessee but had their field goal blocked and returned for a touchdown and then another turned sealed the game. The Colts outgained the Titans by 99 total yards and have won the yardage battle in five of their last six games despite going 2-4. The Colts are in must win mode and are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a double-digit loss at home. The Buccaneers are on a two-game winning streak but are just 1-3 at home with the lone won coming by a field goal against Arizona. They were favored by 5.5 points in that game and are now 0-4 ATS at home not including the London game where they were the designated home team and lost by 11 points. At 5-7, Tampa Bay is out of the playoff mix yet is favored again. Here, we play against home favorites after having won two out of their last three games, with a winning percentage of between .400 and .499 in the second half of the season. This situation is 28-8 ATS (77.8 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (147) Indianapolis Colts

This is a play on the DENVER BRONCOS for our NFL Sunday Ultimate Underdog. Denver has struggled on the road to a 1-5 record but only one of those losses was it never in it, a 20-3 loss to the Bills. The Broncos 3-3 against the number in those games and going back, they are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as road underdogs. Drew Lock posted a decent 84.5 passer rating in his first career start and he showed signs that he can be a really good option at quarterback. Houston is coming off a massive win against New England to make it two straight wins to retain its one game lead over Tennessee in the AFC South. Speaking of Tennessee, the Texans travel there next week so this is a classic sandwich spot. The Texans are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a home favorite. 76 percent of the money is on Denver yet this line has not moved as just the juice has fluctuated and while it is not a reverse line movement, it is as close as you can get without the line actually moving. Here, we play against favorites off an upset win as a home underdog, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team. This situation is 64-29 ATS (68.8 percent) since 1983. 9* (135) Denver Broncos

This is a play on the SMU MUSTANGS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. Georgetown is coming off a huge road win at Oklahoma St. by seven points as an 11-point underdog but there are big issues going on right now that could affect this program. The school announced two key members of the team are transferring and subsequent public records requests unearthed allegations against three Hoyas players that included sexual harassment, assault and burglary. Additionally, four-star recruit Terrance Williams decommitted on Thursday. SMU is off to an 8-0 start but it really has not played anyone as its schedule has been soft. The Mustangs are coming off a pair of poor seasons but a lot of that had to do with roster-depleting NCAA sanctions and injuries and it came into this season with a full roster for the first time since 2017-18. The good news for SMU is that it is winning all the games it should including two solid road victories at Evansville and UNLV. Look for the Mustangs to pass their first big test. 9* (676) SMU Mustangs

This is a play on the MISSOURI TIGERS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. Missouri is riding a three-game losing streak as it heads to Temple for its second road game of the season. First came a double-dose of disappointing defeats at Hall of Fame Classic during Thanksgiving week, where Missouri went 0-2, with losses on back-to-back nights to Butler and Oklahoma. Then came a disaster. Charleston Southern, a 2-5 Big South Conference team with a 44-point home loss to Furman on its record, entered Mizzou Arena as 26-point underdogs and left as 68-60 winners. In each of the last three defeats, the Tigers have gotten off to early abysmal starts that leave them playing from behind. Temple is off to a solid 6-1 start including solid wins away from home against USC, Texas A&M and Davidson. The Owls have covered four straight games and with the way things have been going on both sides, you would expect a bigger line. It is short for a reason and we expect a bog bounce back effort from the Tigers. 9* (679) Missouri Tigers

This is a play on the WESTERN KENTUCKY HILLTOPPERS as part of our CBB Saturday Trifecta. After opening the season with five straight blowout wins and covers, it has been a rough stretch for Arkansas. It has won its last three games but it has not been pretty as the Razorbacks defeated a below average Georgia Tech team by one point in overtime and then escaped Northern Kentucky and Austin Peay by six and eight points respectively as 15-point favorites in each. Now comes the biggest road test and they are a false-favorite. The Razorbacks are 13-27 ATS in their last 40 games as a road favorite. Western Kentucky, the preseason favorite in C-USA, is off to a 6-3 start following a pair of losses. The Hilltoppers lost at home against No. 1 Louisville and then suffered a two-point loss at Wright St., the preseason favorite in the Horizon League. Western Kentucky is ranked 33rd in adjusted offensive efficiency and this will be the best offense Arkansas has seen. The Hilltoppers are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games as an underdog. 10* (714) Western Kentucky Hilltoppers

This is a play on the GEORGIA BULLDOGS for our SEC Championship Winner. The LSU Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs square off for the SEC Championship from Atlanta. This is the most highly anticipated of the conference championship games as both are currently in the top four and either could leave with a loss. The LSU offense is no joke. The Tigers lead the SEC in total offense and scoring offense, and quarterback Joe Burrow has set the SEC single-season passing yardage record. Georgia leads the SEC in every major defensive statistical category, allowing just one rushing touchdown all season and no plays over 30 yards the second half of the regular season. The Bulldogs have not allowed more than 17 points in regulation in any game, ranking second in the country in scoring defense. While the offense averages nearly 16 ppg less than the Tigers, the Bulldogs defense allows nearly 12 ppg less than LSU and that is where this game comes down to. Here, we play on neutral field underdogs that are outrushing their opponents by 100 or more ypg on the season. This situation is 36-11 ATS (76.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (117) Georgia Bulldogs

This is a play on the BOISE ST. BRONCOS for our MWC Championship Winner. The Hawaii Warriors and Boise St. Broncos will play for the Mountain West Championship on Saturday. Hawaii played at Boise St. in October for a cross-divisional matchup, falling 59-37 as the Broncos jumped out to a 37-7 lead in the second quarter. Boise St. would go on to fall 28-25 at BYU the following week after but has rattled off five straight wins going into the championship game. Boise St. is once again in the conversation for making it to a big bowl game with the highest ranked team from a non-power five conference. Both teams have strong offenses, ranking first and second in the conference, but the Broncos have been significantly better defensively. Boise St. ranks 36th nationally in total defense, allowing 348.9 ypg, while Hawaii is ranked 95th and allows 430.8 ypg. Here, we play against underdogs of 10.5 to 21 points revenging a loss where opponent scored 42 or more points, after a home game where both teams scored 31 or more points. This situation is 28-7 ATS (80 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (116) Boise St. Broncos

This is a play on the APPALACHIAN ST. MOUNTAINEERS for our CFB Game of the Week. The 2019 Sun Belt Championship Game is set with the Appalachian St. Mountaineers hosting the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns. Appalachian St. clinched the Sun Belt East Division title after finishing 7-1 in conference play and 11-1 overall, two games ahead of Georgia Southern. The Mountaineers have won three-consecutive Sun Belt titles including last season when they defeated Louisiana 30-19 on this same field. Louisiana has had no trouble moving the ball the season, as evidenced by a sixth-ranked offense in yards per play. On the other side, the Appalachian State defense is a top-25 unit in regard to yards per play, which sets up for an interesting battle of strength vs. strength. If short history is any indication, the Mountaineers have the edge as they held the Cajuns to just 5.5 yppl in the first meeting in a 17-7 win and that game was in Lafayette. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 10 points off a win by 10 points or more over a conference rival going up against an opponent off three straight wins against conference rivals. This situation is 57-25 ATS (69.5 percent) since 1992. 10* (108) Appalachian St. Mountaineers

This is a play on the MIAMI OHIO REDHAWKS for our CFB 10* Star Attraction. Miami will be going to a bowl game for the first time since 2016-17 after winning five of its last six games to win the MAC East Division. The RedHawks finished the regular season 7-5 and while it is coming off a loss in its last game, it was a meaningless game on the road. On paper, the RedHawks bring in one of the best overall defenses in the MAC and arguably the best special teams unit in the country. Offensively, the RedHawks are excellent in the red zone as they are 34-for-39 in red-zone opportunities and have scored 21 touchdowns (53.8 percent).Central Michigan turned its season around and is one of the biggest stories in the country. The Chippewas went 1-11 last season including 0-8 in the MAC and then opened this year 2-3 but went on to win six of their last seven games. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points after having won four or five out of their last six games, with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 of their games on the season. This season is 37-10 ATS (78.7 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (105) Miami Ohio RedHawks

This is a play on the OKLAHOMA SOONERS for our Big XII Championship Winner. Oklahoma and Baylor will meet for the second time this season, yet again with both of their College Football Playoff hopes on the line. The first one was an epic comeback for the Sooners as they rallied from a 31-10 halftime deficit. Turnover were the story as Oklahoma won the yardage battle by 218 total yards so the outcome should not have been that close. The Sooners offense has been riding high as usual and the defense has improved from recent years so a big showing here could propel them into the CFP should Georgia lose. Baylor feels it still has a shot as we but it is slim as it is ranked No. 9 and would need a win and a lot of help. The Bears only loss came against the Sooners where Oklahoma was a 10.5-point favorite but now Oklahoma is actually favored by less on a neutral field. This is the first time all season that the Sooners have been single-digit favorites. Here, we play on any team after being beaten by the spread by 49 or more points total in their last five games, in December games. This situation is 44-16 ATS (73.3 percent) since 1992. 9* (110) Oklahoma Sooners

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS as part of our NBA Friday Trifecta. Milwaukee has won 13 straight games and is laying a short price here which is putting the public on their side. The Bucks are just 3-2 against the top ten in the league and their last five wins have come against teams not currently in playoff positions. The Clippers embark on a six-game roadtrip following a pair of wins to improve to 9-1 over their last 10 games. Here, we play against home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after two consecutive covers as a favorite going up against an opponent off a home win scoring 110 or more points. This situation is 25-7 ATS (78.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (523) Los Angeles Clippers

This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS as part of our NBA Friday Trifecta. Denver rolled over New York last night by 37 points to improve to 6-2 on the road and that success is keeping this number down. Boston has won two straight and four of five to remain in second place in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics are 8-0 at home and will be heavily motivated here. Boston will be out for some revenge as it lost in Denver to conclude a five-game roadtrip on November 22 as it was held to a season low 92 points. Here, we play on home favorites (revenging a road loss, off a home win by 10 points or more. This situation is 112-67 ATS (62.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (522) Boston Celtics

This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS as part of our NBA Friday Trifecta. The Bulls have won two straight games for the first time this season and they are in great shape to make it three straight. Chicago is 0-10 against the top 16 of the NBA but a much more respectable 8-4 against teams below that. Golden St. has lost four games in a row and seven of the past eight, but the one victory during that stretch was a 104-90 decision over the Bulls so revenge is in play. The Warriors now have the worst record in the NBA. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging a road loss of 10 points or more, off a home win. This situation is 66-31 ATS (68 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (520) Chicago Bulls

This is a play on the RHODE ISLAND RAMS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Providence rolled to a 93-56 win over Merrimack just over two weeks ago but it has been a struggle since then as the Friars have lost three of their last four games, failing to cover any of those as large favorites. In their only true road game this season, the Friars were dumped by Northwestern, picked to finish dead last in the Big Ten, by nine points as nine-point favorites. Providence is 4-14 ATS in its last 18 games after playing five consecutive games as favorite. Rhode Island has dropped three of its four nonconference games to date that could have opened some eyes on the national level. The Rams have only a home win over Alabama to show for a strong schedule, with road defeats against Maryland and West Virginia bracketing a loss to LSU on a neutral floor at the Jamaica Classic. The Rams are in good shape as all five starters are back from last season and they will be out for payback after losing against their rival by nine points on the road last season. Rhode Island is shooting 75.2 percent from the line at home which is a huge factor especially with lines this low. The Rams are 19-9 ATS in their last 28 games as favorites of seven points or less. 10* (620) Rhode Island Rams

This is a play on the FURMAN PALADINS for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Auburn will play its first home game in over two weeks when they host the Furman Paladins on Thursday night. The Tigers have had more than a week off after winning the Legends Classic tournament in Brooklyn last week but those wins came against Richmond and New Mexico and Furman ranks right with those teams. Auburn was favored by a similar amount against Georgia Southern whose power ranking is double that of the Paladins and the Tigers failed to cover that game. While talented, this team lost a ton from the Final Four team from last season. Furman meanwhile brings back four of its five starters from its team that went 25-8 and made a trip to the NIT. The Paladins are 7-2 this season including an eight-point loss against Alabama, which was picked to finish right behind Auburn in the SEC. They are 8-2 in their last 10 road games and last season, the Paladins went on the road and beat then-No. 8 Villanova 76-68 in overtime. Furman is a perfect 7-0 when at least three of its players score in double-digits but 0-2 when fewer than three Paladins players score in double-digits. 10* (605) Furman Paladins

This is a play on the DALLAS COWBOYS for our NFL Thursday Primetime Punisher. Dallas has lost two straight games and is 3-5 0ver its last eight games but there has been one common denominator and that is the Cowboys have outgained all eight opponents in those games. The problem is not on the offense as they have the top ranked offense in the NFL with 432.8 ypg and the defense has not been bad either as they are ranked No. 8 overall with 321.6 ypg. But on that side of the ball, they have just 12 takeaways which is tied for fourth fewest in the NFL and the eight teams they are grouped with that have 14 or fewer takeaways, seven have no chance for the playoffs. A lot of this is luck and can turn around quickly as we are backing a team that is one of only two ranked in the top eight in both offense and defense, San Francisco being the other and the 49ers are 10-2. Chicago was fortunate to get out of Detroit with a win on Thanksgiving as it had its best game on offense on the season with 419 yards yet won by just four points. Mitchell Trubisky had his best game of the season but that was against the third worst passing defense in the NFL and we do not expect a big effort Thursday. Here, we play on road teams where the line is +3 to -3 with a defense forcing one or fewer tpg, after two consecutive games with a turnover margin of -1 or worse. This situation is 49-20 ATS (71 percent) since 1983. 10* (101) Dallas Cowboys

This is a play on the TORONTO RAPTORS for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. A pair of teams coming off overtime losses square off when the Houston Rockets visit the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night. The Rockets squandered a 22-point lead at San Antonio and lost 135-133 Tuesday to the Spurs in a game marred by a controversial call of a dunk that was not upheld. Houston was on a roll with eight straight wins but it has gone just 2-4 over its last six games including 0-3 on the road. Houston is 9-21 ATS in its last 30 games after scoring 130 points. Toronto had no controversy, just a lousy final five minutes as it was outscored by the Heat 13-2 in the overtime period in its 121-110 home loss on Tuesday. The loss snapped a seven-game winning streak for the Raptors while also snapping its 9-0 undefeated record at home to open the season. The Raptors are averaging 119.5 ppg at home while the Rockets are allowing 118.7 ppg on the road. The Raptors are 13-4-1 ATS in their last 18 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 off an upset loss as a favorite, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .750. This situation is 65-32 ATS (67 percent) since 1996. 10* (504) Toronto Raptors

This is a play on the CS FULLERTON TITANS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. We played against CS Fullerton in its last game which resulted in a win as the Titans failed to cover as 10.5-point underdogs. Now they are getting just one bucket less against a much worse team as this is a very winnable game outright. Fullerton is just 1-3 on the road but the other two losses came against Stanford and BYU with the one win coming against Wyoming where it was getting three points. Pacific is off to a 7-3 start including a 7-2 record at home but it has taken out some very bad competition as its schedule has been one of the weakest in the country at No. 325. The Tigers are picked to finish ninth in the 10-team West Coast Conference which is right where they finished last season with a 4-12 record. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are shooting between 45 and 47.5 percent going up against teams shooting 40 percent or worse, after three straight games allowing 40 percent shooting or less. This situation is 24-4 ATS (85.7 percent) since 1997. 9* (879) CS Fullerton Titans

This is a play on the NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. The seventh-ranked Tar Heels take on No. 6 Ohio State Wednesday night in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. Following a loss to Michigan, North Carolina bounced back to defeat Oregon 78-74 behind a big effort from Armando Bacot. It was a positive sign for the Tar Heels, who are looking for a second player to take on a bigger scoring role outside of Cole Anthony. The Buckeyes are the higher ranked team and a lot of that has to do with the teams that started above them have mostly all fallen. They lead all of Division I in scoring margin on the season and have only one game that was decided by fewer than 10 points. That is the positive news. The bad news is that this is their first road game of the season and it could not come at a tougher place. On top of that, Ohio St. has played the No. 286 ranked schedule in the country. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving teams outscoring opponents by 8 or more ppg, after scoring 45 points or more in the first half last game. This situation is 62-29 ATS (68.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (870) North Carolina Tar Heels

This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Utah is back home where it went 1-4 including a pair of losses in its last two games against Toronto and Phoenix. The Jazz are just 4-8 on the road but they are 8-1 at home including victories over the Clippers and Bucks. The Jazz finished with the third best record in the Western Conference last year, after going 28-13 in 2017-18, so this is a tough place to play. The Lakers are coming off a win over Denver last night with both LeBron James and Anthony Davis playing more than 37 minutes. It was the ninth straight road win for Los Angeles after losing its opener against the Clippers but this is the ultimate tough spot. Just how much energy the Lakers will have left on Wednesday is the question after playing Denver at 5,280 feet, while Salt Lake City is only slightly lower at 4,226 feet. The Lakers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following an ATS win. Here, we play on home favorites revenging a loss, off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 98-51 ATS (65.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (570) Utah Jazz

This is a play on the DEPAUL BLUE DEMONS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. DePaul is off to a surprising 8-0 start but it may not be as surprising as people think. The Blue Demons finished 19-17 last season, their most wins since 2006-07 and came within a game of winning the CBI Championship. They brought in one of their best recruiting classes in decades, ranked as high as No. 25. The Red Raiders nearly won the National Championship last season as they lost to Virginia in overtime and because of that result, they will remain a very public team. Texas Tech opened the season a perfect 5-0 but has dropped its last two games and now will be playing its first true road game of the season. Those five wins came against cupcakes so this will be the third straight game against a quality program. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are shooting 36.5 percent or better from long range against an average 3PT shooting team (32-36.5%), after a game where it made 50 percent of their three-point shots or better. This situation is 48-21 ATS (69.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (856) DePaul Blue Demons

This is a play on the CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS for our CBB Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. After getting destroyed by Oklahoma St. by 31 points in Las Vegas, Creighton bounced back the next day with an impressive win over Texas Tech. that can be attributed to experience as it has four starters back from the 20-win team that made it to the NIT. The Bluejays are 5-2 with the other loss coming against No. 5 Michigan while going a perfect 4-0 at home. And going back, they are 21-9 ATS in their last 30 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Oral Roberts is 3-4 with the three wins coming against cupcakes including two non-Division I teams. The Golden Eagles are shooting just 35.4 percent from the floor on the road and they are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games against teams with a winning home record. Here, we play on favorites of 10 or more points after being beaten by the spread by 30 or more points total in their last five games, team from a major division 1-A conference against a team from a mid-major division 1-A conference. This situation is 39-15-1 (72.2 percent) since 1997 while going a perfect 55-0 straight up. 10* (788) Creighton Bluejays

This is a play on the WASHINGTON WIZARDS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Washington is coming off a 1-3 roadtrip which included a pair of closing losses in Los Angeles against the Lakers and Clippers by 22 and 25 points respectively. The Wizards are now 3-8 on the road but come back home where they are a more respectable 3-4 at home. They will be playing with revenge following a loss in Orlando on November 17. Washington is 21-10 ATS in home games revenging a loss over the last two seasons while going 5-2 ATS in its last seven games against teams with a losing straight up record. Orlando is coming off a win over Golden St. on Sunday to move to 8-11 on the season. The Magic are 7-4 at home but just 1-7 on the road with the lone win coming at 5-14 Cleveland. The Magic are 0-8 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win. Here, we play on home favorites that are revenging a loss, off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 98-51 ATS (65.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (542) Washington Wizards

This is a play on the MINNESOTA VIKINGS for our NFL Monday Primetime Punisher. Seattle has won four straight games including three on the road where it is a perfect 6-0 on the season. The Seahawks are just 3-2 at home with those three wins being an overtime win over Tampa Bay, a one-point win over the Rams and a one-point win over the Bengals. They are outgaining opponents by just 17 ypg at home and going back, the Seahawks are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games. Minnesota has won two straight games and is coming off its bye week which is a big edge this late in the season. The Vikings are a half-game behind Green Bay in the NFC North and they hold onto a game and a half lead over the Rams for the final Wild Card slot in the NFC and can take over the first spot with a win tonight. Here, we play on road teams after failing to cover the spread in three out of their last four games, in December games. This situation is 42-15 ATS (73.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (475) Minnesota Vikings

This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Utah is coming off a loss at Toronto on Sunday by 20 points to fall to 1-3 on this roadtrip and now sits in sixth place in the Western Conference. The Raptors led 77-37 at halftime, making it the largest halftime deficit in Jazz history so there will be plenty of motivation lines up for tonight. The Jazz are 6-2 ATS over their last eight games playing with no rest. The Sixers have won three straight games and seven of their last eight but they still sit in fifth place in the Eastern Conference as they are chasing a number of red hot teams. They are one of four undefeated teams at home but are overpriced here as they are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games against teams with a losing road record. Here, we play against home favorites that are averaging 99 or more ppg on the season, after three straight wins by six points or less. This situation is 35-13 ATS (72.9 percent) since 1996. 10* (527) Utah Jazz

This is a play on the ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI for our CBB Monday Enforcer. The ACC-Big Ten Challenge tips off tonight with two games and we are eyeing the big favorite of the two. Illinois is coming off its worst winning percentage since 1974-75 as it went just 12-21 last season but there is a reason for optimism as it returns four of five starters while bringing back 85.7 percent of its scoring which is the most of any team in the Big Ten. The Illini are off to a 6-1 start including a 5-0 record at home where they are outscoring opponents by nearly 25 ppg. Illinois is 10-2 ATS in its last 12 home games off two consecutive home wins by 10 points or more. Miami also struggled last season because of injuries and suspensions and the Hurricanes are not much better off this season with just five scholarship players. Miami has lost its last two games by 20 and 25 points and it is 5-18 ATS in its last 23 teams against teams outscoring their opponents by 4.0 or more ppg. 10* (718) Illinois Fighting Illini

This is a play on the WAKE FOREST DEMON DEACONS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Arizona rolled over the competition in its first six games of the season but all of those were at home and it has struggled at times in the first two games of the Wooden Legacy including a mere two-point win over Pepperdine as a 15.5-point favorite. The offense has been great but the Wildcats have struggled on the defensive end, giving up 91 and 82 points and that is significant when dealing with a line this big. The Wildcats are 0-5 ATS in their last five neutral site games. Stuck in neutral while winning just 11 games in the past two seasons, Wake Forest is showing signs of a revival so far this season. Six of seven top scorers returned this season to join a well-regarded recruiting class and the Demon Deacons have already won five games. Here, we play against favorites of 10 to 19.5 points after two straight games making 55 percent of their shots or better going up against an opponent after a game where a team made 20 percent of their three-point shots or worse. This situation is 26-6 ATS (81.2 percent) since 1997. 10* (711) Wake Forest Demon Deacons

This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. New Orleans has lost four straight games as it has been a tough stretch with three of those on the road and the lone home game coming against the Lakers. The Pelicans are just 2-8 on the road but a respectable 4-5 at home after playing the second toughest schedule in the NBA thus far. This is the second game of a home-and-home with New Orleans losing by five points on Friday which was the second loss in November to the Thunder so double-revenge is in play. The Pelicans are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games. Oklahoma City improved to 6-4 at home with that win two days ago but it hits the road where it is just 1-7 with the only victory coming by three points at lowly Golden St. which leads the league with 16 losses. The Thunder are 0-4 ATS in their last four games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. 10* (520) New Orleans Pelicans

This is a play on the DENVER BRONCOS for our NFL Sunday Afternoon Dominator. The Chargers are a mess as they have been crushed with turnovers of late with a lot of that being the fault of Philip Rivers. They have lost five of their last seven games with the offense averaging just 19.1 ppg and faces a formidable Broncos defense that is ranked seventh in the league, allowing just 321.1 ypg. The Chargers are 3-7-2 ATS in their last 12 games overall and are a false favorite here against a team that is just one game worse. The Broncos were hammered by Buffalo last week as Brandon Allen threw for just 82 yards and they managed only 134 total yards of offense. Allen has been benched and Drew Lock will get the start and even though he has not seen any action, it has to be an upgrade. The Broncos are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game. Here, we play against favorites after a game with a turnover margin of -3 or worse. This situation is 51-22 ATS (69.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (470) Denver Broncos

This is a play on the INDIANAPOLIS COLTS for our NFL Game of the Week. Indianapolis and Tennessee are both squarely in the playoff mix as both come in at 6-5, one game behind Houston in the NFC South and with the Texans playing the Patriots, the winner of this game could be in a first place tie. Tennessee is coming off a pair of impressive wins as it defeated Kansas City and then Jacksonville in a blowout but both were at home. Tennessee is just 1-3 in its last four road games yet is getting just one point as of Saturday. The Colts stumbled in Houston for their third loss in four games but against the Texans, it broke a streak of outgaining their opponents in four straight games. Here, we play on favorites in the second half of the season averaging between 335 and 370 ypg going up against teams averaging between 295 and 335 ypg, after being outgained by 100 or more total yards last game. This situation is 23-5 ATS (82.1 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (458) Indianapolis Colts

This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS for our NFL Sunday Enforcer. Baltimore is coming off another impressive win last week against the Rans but it came with a cost and now the Ravens are playing on short rest. Center Matt Skura got hurt on Monday night and now the Ravens weak at left guard and center and San Francisco can take advantage of this. Baltimore has now won seven straight games, the last five coming by double-digits so it is no surprise the public is loving the Ravens yet the line has actually come down. San Francisco is coming off a pair of impressive wins as it defeated Arizona and Green Bay, outgaining them by 176 yards and 141 yards respectively. The 49ers are 10-1 but are not getting the deserved respect because of the dominant Baltimore run. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 10 points that are averaging 27 or more ppg, after allowing 14 points or less in two straight games. This situation 27-7 ATS (79.4 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (455) San Francisco 49ers

This is a play on the CINCINNATI BENGALS for our NFL Sunday Ultimate Underdog. The Jets have turned the corner and have won three straight games, all as underdogs. Now they go into Cincinnati as road favorites which seems reasonable considering the Bengals are 0-11 but there is an issue with this line. It opened at -3.5 and it was announced that Andy Dalton has been named the starting quarterback yet the line has only come down by a half-point. Dalton is by no means a great quarterback but he is a huge upgrade from Ryan Finley whose passer rating was 62.1 in his three games he started. The Bengals defense has played well the last two games, allowing just 16.5 ppg and should be able to slow down the Jets offense that has overachieved against bad offenses during their winning streak. Here, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 off an upset win by 14 or more points as a home underdog, after the first month of the season. This situation is 28-7 ATS (80 percent) since 1983. 9* (466) Cincinnati Bengals

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Indiana has won five straight games following its home win over Atlanta last night but it took overtime to do so. That was the fourth straight home game for the Pacers so this marks the first road game for them in nearly two weeks and going back, the Pacers are 4-13-1 ATS in their last 18 road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. The Sixers are also off a win last night as they beat the Knicks in New York but they do have the luxury of coming back home in this back-to-back where they are a perfect 8-0 on the season. They have failed to cover three straight games which is helping in this line. The Sixers are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play against road teams after having won 5 or 6 of their last 7 games, when playing their 3rd game in 4 days. This situation is 207-137 ATS (60.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (504) Philadelphia 76ers

This is a play on the SANTA CLARA BRONCOS for our CBB Saturday Enforcer. The final of the Cable Car Classic takes place tonight as Santa Clara host CS Fullerton. The Broncos have won both games to start and Santa Clara has won its last seven home games, scoring an average of 84.4 ppg while giving up 62.1 ppg. The big difference here is the offenses on both sides and the efficiency that comes with them. The Santa Clara offense is ranked 28th overall by scoring 81.9 ppg this season while the Titans have averaged just 62.4 ppg, which ranks 220th. Santa Clara has 63 assists on 94 field goals (67 percent) across its past three contests while CS Fullerton has assists on 33 of 65 field goals (50.8 percent) during its past three games. The big reason for the dip is that the Titans have had trouble replacing Khalil Ahmad and Kyle Allman who averaged a combined 27.7 shots per game last season with only two other players averaging more than 2.5 shots per game. The Broncos are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. 10* (662) Santa Clara Broncos

This is a play on the UAB BLAZERS for our CFB Saturday Supreme Annihilator. UAB can wrap up the C-USA West Division with a victory over North Texas on Saturday as it owns the tiebreaker over Louisiana Tech thanks to its win over the Bulldogs last week. The Blazers are just 2-3 on the road but this is clearly the biggest one of them all with so much on the line. The Blazers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a losing record. It has been a very disappointing season for North Texas which came in with high expectations after going 9-4 last season. The Mean Green have dropped two straight games, including a bad loss to Rice last week, to deny them a chance at a bowl game this season. They still could get in at 5-7 if there are not enough 6-6 teams but that is very unlikely. Here, we play on teams where the line is +3 to -3 excellent passing team averaging 8.3 or more ypa going up against teams allowing between 6.4 and 7.5 ypa, after allowing 5.5 or less passing ypa last game. This situation is 36-9 ATS (80 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (421) UAB Blazers

This is a play on the MIAMI HURRICANES for our CFB Game of the Week. We have two huge factors going the Hurricanes way here. Miami lost at home to Florida International last week prompting head coach Manny Diaz to say it was one of the worst losses in program history so making amends from that is paramount. Second, the Hurricanes lost home to Duke last season for the first time since 1976 so revenge is in play. The loss last week was misleading as Miami outgained the Panthers by 116 total yards but lost the turnover battle 3-0 and missed two crucial fourth and one conversions. It has been a rough stretch for Duke as it has lost five straight games and six of seven while getting outgained in all of those. At 4-7, the Blue Devils will miss out on a bowl game for the first time since 2011-12. Here, we play against home underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points after having lost 5 or 6 out of their last 7 games going up against an opponent after having won 3 out of their last 4 games. This situation is 30-8 ATS (78.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (425) Miami Hurricanes

This is a play on the INDIANA HOOSIERS for our CFB Saturday Enforcer. Purdue is another team that has had a rough season after coming in with high expectations. The Boilermakers are 4-7 and will miss out on a bowl game after making the postseason the last two years. The door was officially shut last week in a 45-24 loss to Wisconsin but it was the loss of starting quarterback Elijah Sindelar after three games that really hurt them and this was the second straight season he did not come close to play a full season. Indiana is going bowling after missing out the last two seasons despite losing its last two games. The Hoosiers had a four-game losing streak snapped with a loss at Penn St. where they actually outgained the Nittany Lions and then lost last week against Michigan. The Hoosiers are 6-0 ATS in their last six games following an ATS loss. Here, we play on road favorites after gaining 100 or less rushing yards in two straight games going up against an opponent after gaining 75 or less rushing yards last game. This situation is 23-3 ATS (88.5 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (391) Indiana Hoosiers

This is a play on the NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS for our CFB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. Northwestern has had a difficult season at 2-9 and while it has been out of bowl consideration for a while, this is considered their bowl game. They have actually been better than the record shows as they have been outgained by just 67.4 ypg and have outgained the opposition in five of 11 games this season. This is the most points Northwestern has gotten in this series since 2011 and going back, the Wildcats are 21-9 ATS in their last 30 games following a double-digit loss at home. Illinois has already secured a bowl berth at 6-5 but this could be one of the worst winning teams in the country. The Illini have covered six straight games which is helping with this line but they have been outgained eight of their last nine games with the only positive differential coming against Rutgers. Overall, they are getting outgained by 74.9 ypg. Here, we play on road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points in the second half of the season in a game involving two teams averaging between 3.5 and 4.3 ypc. This situation is 57-31 ATS (64.8 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (403) Northwestern Wildcats

This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Utah has dropped its first two games of this roadtrip but it catches a good spot Friday to get back into the winners column. The Jazz were riding a three-game winning streak prior to this and are sitting in second place in the northwest Division, three games behind Denver. Utah will look to put forth a better effort on the third stop of its trip after allowing an average of 121.5 ppg in losses to the Bucks and Pacers. Memphis has lost five straight games and despite a favorable schedule, the Grizzlies are only 3-8 at home. They are getting outscored by close to nine ppg and the Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Here, we play against home underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are getting outscored by their opponents by six or more ppg going up against an opponent after allowing 105 points or more four straight games. This situation is 48-18 ATS (72.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (571) Utah Jazz

This is a play on the WASHINGTON ST. COUGARS for our CFB Friday Star Attraction. Washington St. has won two straight games to become bowl eligible and it has some solid momentum heading into the Apple Cup where it looks to snap a six-game losing streak against its rival. The Cougars offense has come to life the last two games, averaging 51.5 ppg and while this will be a test, this is the best opportunity to keep it going as the Washington defense has slipped over the second half of the season. The Cougars are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game. The Huskies are coming off a loss to Colorado and while they head back home, they have not been dominant here, going just 3-3 on the season. Washington has been outgained in five of its last seven games while losing four of its last six games, three of those coming against teams that are not bowl eligible. For Washington, the biggest question is quarterback Jacob Eason as he has thrown 11 touchdowns and six picks in his last six games after a solid start to the season. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 10 points that are coming off a loss as a road favorite of seven or more points, in November games. This situation is 38-11 ATS (77.6 percent) since 1992. 9* (339) Washington St. Cougars

This is a play on the CINCINNATI BEARCATS for our CFB Friday Enforcer. Temple won for us last Saturday as it stayed within the big number at Cincinnati but now we will be backing the Bearcats as a big road underdog. Cincinnati has won nine straight games and its only loss on the season came at Ohio St. back in early September. The Bearcats already clinched the AAC East title but there is still a lot on the line as a win here and win next week likely gets them into a major bowl being the highest ranked non-power conference team. Slowing down the Memphis offense is the key and Cincinnati can do that as the Bearcats are allowing just 19.9 ppg which is 23rd in the nation. The Tigers have won five straight games and they bring in an identical 10-1 record yet are double-digit favorites. These teams are separated by just three points in the power rankings so the line is definitely inflated in favor of the home team. While it may seem dominating, Memphis has actually been outgained in four of its last eight games so a lot of the games have been fairly competitive. Here, we play on road underdogs after two or more consecutive losses against the spread, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages of .800 or better. This situation is 29-7 ATS (80.6 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (331) Cincinnati Bearcats

This is a play on the MISSOURI TIGERS for CFB Friday Supreme Annihilator. We played on Missouri last week and it lost at home for its fifth straight loss but now with the season on the line, the Tigers come out strong. They fell to 5-6 so a win here is necessary to gain a bowl berth and facing the worst team in the SEC is the cure. The offense remains a liability as the early season potent unit has fallen apart. A lot of that has to do with playing some tough defenses but that will not be the case this week. The Tigers have failed to cover six straight games but that is keeping this line in check. Arkansas has lost eight straight games to remain winless in the SEC and the other defeats came against San Jose St. and Western Kentucky. The Razorbacks are allowing 38 ppg on the season including 50.8 ppg over their last five games. Additionally, they have been outgained by an average of 260.8 ypg over that stretch so the scores are no fluke. A coaching change has done no good and it is safe to say Arkansas just wants this miserable season to end. Here, we play against underdogs of 10.5 to 21 points after allowing 5.5 or more rushing ypc in two straight games going up against an opponent after gaining 125 or fewer rushing yards in two straight games. This situation is 25-3 ATS (89.3 percent) since 1992. 10* (329) Missouri Tigers

This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS for our NFL Thursday Primetime Punisher. New Orleans and Atlanta meet on Thanksgiving night for the second straight season with the Saints looking to wrap up the NFC South division. They have a four-game lead over Carolina following their win over the Panthers this past Sunday. New Orleans has won two straight games to improve to 9-2 on the season and it had a six-game winning streak snapped three games back at home against Atlanta. Revenge will be in play here against an inconsistent Atlanta team which pulled off stunning back-to-back road wins only to fall flat at home last week against the Buccaneers. The Falcons have lost four straight home games and while they have the edge in not having to travel following a home game, the defense will struggle here. The Saints are 24-8 ATS in their last 32 road games while Atlanta is 0-7 ATS off an upset loss as a favorite over the last 2 seasons. Additionally, the Falcons are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games after allowing six or more yppl in their previous game. Here, we play on road teams in the second half of the season averaging 1.25 or fewer turnovers per game going up against teams with forcing 1.25 or fewer turnovers per game, after four consecutive games where they committed one or less turnovers. This situation is 30-10 ATS (75 percent) since 1983. 10* (309) New Orleans Saints

This is a play on the MISSISSIPPI ST. BULLDOGS for our CFB Thursday Star Attraction. With the Mississippi loss to LSU two weeks ago, the Rebels have officially been eliminated from bowl contention. Because this is a big rivalry game, they will be out to play spoiler but sitting at 0-4 on the road, it will be difficult to achieve. Mississippi, which has not reached a bowl since 2015, will finish with a losing record for the second straight season. The Rebels are 0-7 ATS in their last seven games following a double-digit loss at home. Hope is still alive on the home side as the Bulldogs need a win Thursday to become eligible for a 10th straight bowl appearance. Mississippi St. has been outgained only twice at home and those came against LSU and Alabama. There might be added pressure with everything on the line for the Bulldogs but they have proven that they can get it done as Mississippi St. has achieved a perfect 3-0 record over the last decade when entering the Egg Bowl with bowl eligibility on the line. The Bulldogs are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 home games. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 after allowing 6.25 or more yppl in their previous game going up against an opponent after outgaining their last opponent by 125 or more total yards in their previous game. This situation is 73-31 ATS (70.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (312) Mississippi St. Bulldogs

This is a play on the DETROIT LIONS for out NFL Thursday Afternoon Dominator. The Bears are coming off a home win over the lowly Giants by it was by just by five points. Since a 3-1 start to the season, Chicago is only 2-5 in its last seven games including a 0-3 record on the road. Three games back, they defeated Detroit by a touchdown for its third straight win in this series so the Lions will be out for payback. This offense remains incredibly inconsistent as they are ranked No. 29, averaging a mere 269.3 ypg and 17.1 ppg. Chicago has outgained only four of 11 opponents while on the other side, Detroit has outgained six of its 11 opponents. This includes outgaining the Redskins by 134 total yards this past Sunday but lost late. Quarterback Jeff Driskel has not been great but he is no worse than Mitchell Trubisky yet the Lions come in as the road underdog here. The defense has struggled overall but their worst games have come against premier offenses as they have gone against the top ten units. Detroit held Chicago to 226 yard offense in the first meeting. The Bears are 1-8 ATS in their last nine games after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game. Here, we play on home teams revenging a road loss against opponent, off an upset loss as a road favorite. This situation is 86-43 ATS (66.7 percent) since 1983. 9* (306) Detroit Lions

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. Portland has been one of the most disappointing teams in the NBA this season as it is 6-12 overall but it is coming off a much needed big win on Monday to snap a four-game slide. Carmelo Anthony is coming off his best game since signing with the Blazers and this is his home debut where Portland is just 1-4, having played 13 of the first 18 games on the road. Oklahoma City is coming off a road win at Golden St. to snap a three-game losing streak and that was its first road win on the season after starting off 0-6 on the highway. The Thunder are 16-36 ATS in their last 52 games following a road win by three points or less. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are allowing 103or more ppg on the season, after a win by three points or less. This situation is 124-71 ATS (63.6 percent) since 1996. 9* (552) Portland Trailblazers

This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. Miami shook off a blowout loss at Philadelphia with a 17-point win over Charlotte on Monday to make it six wins over its last seven games. The Heats are one of four teams in the NBA that are undefeated at home but are just 5-4 on the road and not in a good spot here. Houston has lost three straight games following an eight-game winning streak. The Rockets suffered just their second home loss of the season on Sunday and going back, the Rockets are 6-0 ATS in their last six games playing on two days of rest. Here, we play against underdogs that are shooting 36.5 percent or better from long range going up against teams allowing between 33 and 36.5 percent shooting from long range, averaging 16.5 or more turnovers per game going up against teams averaging between 14.5 and 16.5 turnovers per game. This situation is 62-32 ATS (66 percent) since 1996. 10* (544 Houston Rockets

This is a play on the SOUTH ALABAMA JAGUARS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. South Alabama and LaSalle square off for the Gulf Coast Showcase championship and the Jaguars have a significant edge. They are the preseason favorite in the Sun Belt Conference and showed how good they are by losing by just one point against Auburn in their first marquee game this season. South Alabama is coming off a win over Miami Ohio yesterday in relatively easy fashion as the Jaguars shot 59.6 percent from the field against the RedHawks, including 69.6 percent in the second half. La Salle, picked to finish 10th in the 14-team Atlantic 10, snuck out a two-point win over Wright St. as a seven-point underdog. Going back, the Explorers are 12-25 ATS in their last 37 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play on neutral court teams as a favorite or pickem in a game involving two teams allowing between 67 and 74 ppg, after three straight wins by 10 points or more. This situation is 76-32 ATS (70.4 percent) since 1997. 10* (707) South Alabama Jaguars

This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. Orlando is the only team in the NBA that has yet to secure a road win as it sits at 0-7 following three straight losses to open this four-game roadtrip. That gives us value in this number as the Magic are hanging in the tight Eastern Conference standings, sitting in eighth place. The Magic are 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games against teams with a losing home record. Cleveland is 1-7 over its last eight games following a home loss to Brooklyn last time out. The Cavaliers are just 3-5 at home and have covered just once in their last six games. The Cavaliers are 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight up loss. Here, we play against teams off a loss as a favorite going up against an opponent off three or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 37-13 ATS (74 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (533) Orlando Magic

This is a play on the DAYTON FLYERS for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. Both Dayton and Virginia Tech are coming off big wins in the first round of the Maui Invitational. The Hokies pulled off the stunner as they upset Michigan St. as 13-point underdogs and for a team in transition after a huge run last season, they could be caught reflecting on that victory. The Hokies made 10 of 21 3-pointers (47.6 percent) against the Spartans and committed only nine turnovers compared to 16 for Michigan St. Virginia Tech held Michigan State star Cassius Winston to seven points. He was limited to 25 minutes because of foul trouble. .Dayton meanwhile is coming off a blowout win over Georgia but that was a game it should have won as it came in favored by three points. What was most impressive about the Flyers dominance was their commitment to the gameplan, which involved getting Obi Toppin the ball early and often. The Flyers forced the Bulldogs into 23 turnovers and played tough defense all night on a Georgia team that is woefully short on perimeter shooting. The Flyers are now 4-0 on the season, easily winning their last three games by an average of 24.3 ppg. 10* (655) Dayton Flyers

This is a play on the WESTERN MICHIGAN BRONCOS for our CFB Tuesday Star Attraction. This is the last game of the regular season for both teams and the final game of the season entirely for Northern Illinois as its loss last week against Eastern Michigan prevented a bowl berth and this will be just the second losing season since 2009 for the Huskies. With nothing to play for except for pride, they are in a tough spot tonight. The Huskies are 1-8 ATS in their last nine home games against teams with a winning road record. It is pretty simple for Western Michigan. A win and the Broncos claim the MAC West Division while a loss gives Central Michigan the chance to win it with a victory over Toledo on Friday. Western Michigan has won three straight games and is coming off its bye week so it is in great shape to put it away. The difference here will be in the running game as the Broncos average nearly two more ypc than the Huskies and that is what puts these games away late in the season. Western Michigan is 5-1 ATS this season when favored by a touchdown or more. Here, we play against home underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points after having lost two out of their last three games going up against an opponent after having won four out of their last five games. This situation is 37-10 ATS (78.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (303) Western Michigan Broncos

This is a play on the OKLAHOMA SOONERS for our CBB Monday Supreme Annihilator. Oklahoma is off to a 5-0 start with two of those wins coming on a neutral court against Minnesota and Oregon St. the Sooners have failed to cover their last two games but they were listed as double-digit favorites in both. Now they are laying a short number in Kansas City in the second game of the Hall of Fame Classic. The Cardinal are off to an even better start at 6-0 but this is their first trip away from their home court. Not much is expected of them this year as they have been picked for 10th in the Pac-12. Now for even more bad news as the Cardinal has faced the 346th rated schedule in the nation with their best win coming against Santa Clara. Here, we play against neutral court teams as an underdog after three straight wins by 10 points or more going up against an opponent after a win by 20 points or more. This situation is 31-11 ATS (73.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (834) Oklahoma Sooners

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES RAMS for our NFL Monday Primetime Punisher. Everyone is in love with Baltimore right now and rightfully so. The Ravens opened the season by hanging 59 points on the Dolphins, and have also enjoyed 49, 40, and 37 point outbursts. The Ravens defense has also enjoyed some success this season as they have allowed the 6th fewest points in the league and are 14th in yardage allowed. This is a bad matchup though. The Rams defense is stout and ranks 10th overall. They have given up 10 or fewer points three of the past four weeks. Offensively, the Rams need some work. In 10 games this season, they totaled only 243 ppg and 24 offensive touchdowns. Los Angeles has coughed up the ball 18 times,15 times by Jared Goff in the form of 10 interceptions and five lost fumbles. And a ground attack that finished with the third-most yards in the league a year ago ranks 20th in the NFL. Still, only five quarterbacks have thrown for more yards than Goff (2,783) so he will give the Ravens a big test. Here, we play against road favorites that are outscoring opponents by 10 or more ppg, after a win by 10 or more points. This situation is 53-18 ATS (74..6 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (276) Los Angeles Rams

This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Boston opened the season as one of the hottest teams in the league but dropped three of its last four games on its most recent west coast road trip. The Celtics are now back home where they are 5-0 and will be playing with some revenge. That recent slump began with a 100-99 loss at Sacramento on Nov. 17 that brought a 10-game winning streak to a halt. The Celtics are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games following an ATS win. Sacramento is coming off a win at Washington on Sunday which was just its third road win on the season. While the Celtics are likely to be without Kemba Walker, the Kings are more banged up as they are still without De'Aaron Fox (ankle), Marvin Bagley III (thumb) and Trevor Ariza (groin). The Kings are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games playing with no rest. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points, off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 52-21 ATS (71.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (510) Boston Celtics

This is a play on the GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Georgia Tech is coming off a loss against rival Georgia but that was all the way back on Wednesday and they are back home where the Yellow Jackets have won their lone game. They are catching a good number here as they covered a -22 spread in the first home game and going back, Georgia Tech is 9-0 ATS in its last nine home games when the line is +3 to -3. Arkansas is off to a perfect 5-0 start, covering all of those games as well. The Razorbacks have played no one however and all of those wins came at home. This is the first road game for new head coach Eric Musselman who did a great job in four years at Nevada but here comes his first true test against a team from a major conference. Here, we play on underdogs off a cover where the team lost straight up as an underdog, with four starters returning from last year in the first 10 games of the season. This situation is 75-41 ATS (64.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (772) Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS for our NFL Sunday Primetime Punisher. The 49ers took advantage of an easy schedule in the first half of the season and while it gets much tougher going forward, the spot here is a good one. San Francisco got a miracle push last week against the Cardinals despite winning the yardage battle by 176 total yards and on the season, it has outgained its opponent in eight of ten games. The 49ers are 4-1 at home with the lone loss coming against Seattle in overtime. The Packers have not been a dominant team despite their 8-2 record. Green Bay has outgained only four of 10 opponents this season including just one on the road which came at Kansas City with no Patrick Mahomes. The Packers are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games following a bye week. Here, we play on favorites after having won three out of their last four games going up against an opponent, after having won eight or more out of their last 10 games. This situation is 28-8 ATS (77.8 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (272) San Francisco 49ers

This is a play on the DALLAS COWBOYS for our NFL Sunday Enforcer. The Patriots are a M*A*S*H unit right now on offense as the three top receiving targets Mohamed Sanu, Julian Edelman and Philip Dorsett are all questionable and even Tom Brady popped up on the injury report with an elbow issue. New England has gained 342 yards or less in its last four games while playing the second easiest schedule in the NFL. We all know New England has won 20 straight home games but being favored by this much against one of the best rosters in the league is too much. The Cowboys have underachieved this season as they are just 3-4 over their last seven games. Despite this, they have outgained their opponents by 133.0 ypg over their last six games. Here, we lay against home favorites of 3.5 to 10 points with a winning percentage of .750 or better after having won six or seven out of their last eight games, , in the second half of the season. This situation is 29-10 ATS (74.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (269) Dallas Cowboys

This is a play on the DENVER BRONCOS for our NFL Game of the Week. Despite a 7-3 record, Buffalo is No. 23 in the latest power rankings as it has played the easiest schedule in the NFL. After outgaining their opponents in their first five games, Buffalo has outgained only two of their last five opponents. The Bills wins have come against the Jets, Giants, Bengals, Titans, Redskins and Dolphins twice. We can throw Denver into this mix as it is just 3-7 but the Broncos are the best losing team in the NFL. Five of the seven losses have been by just one possession which includes four coming within the final minute. Denver is just -25 points in scoring differential while outgaining half of its opponents and not being outgained by more than 84 yards in any game. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points after covering the spread in three out of their last four games, team with a losing record in the second half of the season. This situation is 37-12 ATS (75.5 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (253) Denver Broncos

This is a play on the NEW YORK GIANTS for our NFL Sunday ultimate Underdog. The Bears are overpriced as there is no way a team that has gained more than 300 yards of offense only once on the season should be favored by this much. The Bears have been outgained in seven of 10 games thanks to an anemic offense that is third worst in the NFL with 262.7 ypg. Additionally, they are allowing close to 30 more ypg than in 2018. The Giants are coming off their bye week following six straight losses but they have been competitive of late, losing three of their last four games by just one possession. As much heat vas Daniel Jones has gotten for his trouble holding onto the ball, he has a 9:1 TD:INT ratio over his last three games and is No. 17 in QBR. Going back, the Giants are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games. Here, we play on road underdogs or pickems after six or more consecutive losses, in weeks 10 through 13. This situation is 38-13 ATS (74.5 percent) since 1983. 9* (257) New York Giants

This is a play on the SAN DIEGO ST. AZTECS for our CFB Saturday Last Chance For Cash. We won with San Diego St. last Friday as it improved to 5-2 in the MWC. The Aztecs are a perfect 5-0 on the road and are led by a defense that is ranked No. 8 overall and in scoring defense. A win here gets them into the MWC Championship game. Hawaii can also wrap up a berth in the championship game with a victory. The offense can give San Diego St. a challenge but the same was said last week about Fresno St. and it managed just seven points. The Warriors are 3-2 at home against FBS teams. Here, we play against home teams after failing to cover the spread in four or five out of their last six games, in a game involving two teams with a winning percentage between .600 and .800. This situation is 52-21 ATS (71.2 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (215) San Diego St. Aztecs

This is a play on the ARIZONA WILDCATS as part of our CFB Saturday Trifecta. Utah remains in the conversation for the CFP as it has won six straight games to move to 9-1 on the season. The Utes have to win out to win the Pac 12 South Division and the chance to meet Oregon in the championship. They have covered all six of these games as well and they come in here with an overpriced tag. Arizona is still fighting for a bowl berth as it is 4-6 which includes five straight losses both straight up and against the number and that is also playing into this line. Here, we play on teams after five or more consecutive losses against the spread going up against an opponent after one or more consecutive wins against the spread. This situation is 43-19 ATS (69.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (154) Arizona Wildcats

This is a play on the MISSOURI TIGERS as part of our CFB Saturday Trifecta. Missouri is in a funk as it has lost four straight games and has failed to cover any of its last five games. The Tigers are still just one win away from bowl eligibility as they are 5-5 and the offense has a chance to bust out of its funk as they have scored just 27 points during the skid. Quarterback Kelly Bryant will be back for his second straight start. Tennessee is also sitting at 5-5 thanks to a three-game winning streak following a putrid start to the season where it lost five of its first six games against FBS competition. Here, we play on teams after five or more consecutive losses against the spread going up against an opponent after one or more consecutive wins against the spread. This situation is 43-19 ATS (69.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (196) Missouri Tigers

This is a play on the TEMPLE OWLS as part of our CFB Saturday Trifecta. Cincinnati has won eight straight games to take control of the AAC East Division but they are overpriced once again as the Bearcats have dropped three of their last four against the number. Additionally, they have been outgained in five of their last six games. Temple has won two straight games to become bowl eligible at 7-3 which is a nice bounceback following a pair of blowout losses. The Owls have been outgained only three times in their 10 games. Here, we play against favorites of 10.5 to 21 points with a winning percentage of .800 or better after eight or more consecutive straight up wins, playing a team with a winning percentage between .600 and .800. This situation is 48-19 ATS (71.6 percent) since 1992. 9* (135) Temple Owls

This is a play on the CHARLOTTE HORNETS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Both Chicago and Charlotte played last night and both came away with losses. The Bulls lost at home against Miami and now have to hit the road while the Hornets lost at Washington and now they head home for the first time in over a week. It was a 1-3 roadtrip for Charlotte which started with a win at New York but then resulted in three straight losses and non-covers. Chicago has lost four of its last five games with the last four games taking place at home and this is just the second road game for the Bulls in two weeks where they are 2-5 yet comes in as favorites. The Hornets are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. Here, we play on underdogs off three or more consecutive road losses, playing on back-to-back days. This situation is 29-5 ATS (85.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (550) Charlotte Hornets

This is a play on the PITTSBURGH PANTHERS for our ACC Game of the Year. Pittsburgh is coming off an overtime win over North Carolina last Thursday to improve to 7-3 and since a season opening loss against Virginia, the Panthers have outgained all nine opponents. Should the Panthers win here and against Boston College next week and Virginia loses to Virginia Tech next week, they will face Clemson in the ACC Championship. Virginia Tech rolled over Georgia Tech last week 45-0 and it has now won five of its last six games. The problem is the Hokies have been outgained in four of their last seven games. Here, we play against home favorites of 3.5 to 10 points that are +5 to +10 ppg in scoring differential going up against teams that are +/- 5 in scoring differential after 7 or more games. This situation is 36-12 ATS (75 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (187) Pittsburgh Panthers

This is a play on the ST. BONAVENTURE BONNIES for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. We won with St. Bonaventure last Saturday and we are backing them again here in a great matchup. The Bonnies opened the season 0-3 before a trip to Toronto where they defeated Rutgers by six points as nine-point underdogs an that momentum carries forward. The early 0-3 start is still sticking with some and that creates line value today. Going back, the Bonnies are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a losing straight up record. Canisius has played Brown, Albany and Bucknell and has allowed an average of 79.7 ppg on 49.4 percent shooting so this is a recipe for disaster against a Bonnies offense that finally busted out. On offense, the Golden Griffins lost their two top scorers from last season and with the exception of Malik Johnson, there is little offense so far this season. The Golden Griffins are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 home games. 10* (613) St. Bonaventure Bonnies

This is a play on the MICHIGAN ST. SPARTANS for our CFB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. Michigan St. is fighting for its postseason life as it comes into Saturday with a 4-6 record following its fifth straight loss with all of those losses coming against teams that are all bowl eligible. The good news is that the Spartans finish the season with two teams that will not be going bowling. Rutgers is coming off a loss against Ohio St. to fall to 0-7 in the Big Ten. The Scarlets Knights two victories came against Liberty and Massachusetts and they are catching Michigan St. at the wrong time. Here, we play on favorites of 10.5 to 21 points after two or more consecutive straight up losses, with a winning percentage of between .400 and .499 on the season. This situation is 31-5 ATS (86.1 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (183) Michigan St. Spartans

This is a play on the COLORADO ST. RAMS for our CFB Friday Enforcer. Colorado St. travels to Wyoming for the 110th meeting of the Border War where the teams battle annually for the Bronze Boot, held by Wyoming for the past three seasons. It has been a great season for Wyoming, much better than its 6-4 record indicates. The four losses have come by a combined 15 points so that record could be a lot better than what it is now. The Cowboys are bowl eligible after missing out last season. Wyoming is 0-6 ATS after having lost two out of their last three games over the last two seasons. Colorado St. is coming off a loss against Air Force which snapped a three-game winning streak. The Rams have outgained each of their last four opponents and have outgained seven of ten on the season. Apart from the rivalry, the Rams are seeking to remain in bowl contention this week. A loss would eliminate the Rams for the second consecutive season after reaching bowl eligibility over the previous three seasons. The Rams are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games following a double-digit loss at home. Here, we play against home favorites of 3.5 to 10 points that are +5 to +10 ppg in scoring differential going up against teams that are +/- 5 in scoring differential after 7 or more games. This situation is 36-12 ATS (75 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (113) Colorado St. Rams
