Sports Picks & Predictions

This is a play on the OREGON DUCKS for our CBB Friday Supreme Annihilator. Oregon, picked to win the Pac 12 in the preseason, is coming off a 67-47 win over UT-Arlington. The early schedule also includes an 82-74 win over then-No. 13 Memphis as well as impressive blowout wins over Boise St. and Fresno St. the wins over the Tigers marked the first time in 23 years that Oregon defeated a non-conference opponent ranked 13th or higher during the regular season. Oregon features a veteran lineup with the top three scorers, Payton Pritchard, Anthony Mathis and Shakur Juiston, all seniors. Houston needed a big second half to defeat Rice in a come-from-behind victory. It was not impressive as the Owls are pegged to finish last in C-USA and this is by far the biggest test to date. The Cougars made a run to the Sweet 16 last season but they have to replace four starters and things are expected to be choppy early on. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points outscoring their opponents by 12 or more ppg, after allowing 50 points or less. This situation is 40-14 ATS (74.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (810) Oregon Ducks

This is a play on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. The Spurs have dropped seven straight games and 10 of 12 since opening the season with three straight wins. Although the Spurs offense has been clicking, they have been hindered by an uncharacteristically terrible defense. Their 113.6 defensive rating is third-worst in the NBA, with the Spurs not creating takeaways or forcing opponents to miss shots. The Sixers rallied from a 17-point deficit to defeat the Knicks 109-104 on Wednesday thanks in large part to Joel Embiid's 23 points and 12 rebounds. Despite a solid 9-5 start, they rank just 15th and 10th in offensive and defensive rating, respectfully, due in part to low shooting percentages and point declines from last season from a lot of their big guys. Here, we play on road underdogs failing to cover the spread in 12 or more of the last 15 games, playing eight or more games in 14 days. This situation is 48-21 ATS (69.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (533) San Antonio Spurs

This is a play on the WYOMING COWBOYS for our CBB Thursday Supreme Annihilator. Wyoming snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over Detroit on Tuesday while improving to 2-2 at home. Wyoming is holding opponents to 38 percent from the field to rank third in the MWC. Opponents are scoring 59.6 ppg, which also ranks third in the conference. Wyoming hit a season-high nine threes on Tuesday and dished out a season best 16 assists. Louisiana is also coming off a big home win as it defeated Youngstown St. at home by 12 points. The win gave Louisiana a 3-1 record and the Ragin Cajuns are now 3-0 at home early in the season. The road loss came at TCU, which is picked to finish last in the Big XII, by 33 points and they will have a challenge here playing in the thin air of Wyoming. They lost five of their top six scorers and are very thin right now because of injuries and eligibility issues. Here, we play on home teams as a favorite or pickem after beating the spread by more than 24 points in their previous game, in November games. This situation is 60-25 ATS (70.6 percent) since 1997. 10* (764) Wyoming Cowboys

This is a play on the HOUSTON TEXANS for our NFL Thursday Primetime Punisher. We played on Houston last week and got totally destroyed as the Texans lost 41-7 and coupled with the Indianapolis blowout of Jacksonville, they are now tied for first place in the AFC South so this game will go a long way in determining the champion. The running game will be key here. Houston held Indianapolis to just 62 rushing yards in the first meeting, by far the Colts worst showing of the season. The loss of Marlon Mack, who broke his hand against Jacksonville, makes it harder to get the ground game going. On the other side, a Colts run defense that ranks ninth in the NFL will be tested as Houston has rushed for more than 100 yards in six straight games. The Texans are in revenge mode from the 30-23 loss in the first meeting as well as the 21-7 at home in the playoffs last season. Here, we play on home favorites revenging a loss by seven points or less, off a road loss. This situation is 41-13 ATS (75.9 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (110) Houston Texans

This is a play on the NC STATE WOLFPACK for our CFB Thursday Star Attraction. After suffering a close loss against Virginia two weeks ago to close out any chance of a bowl berth, Georgia Tech laid an egg last week against Virginia Tech 45-0 and with their season completely done, the Yellow Jackets lack any sort of motivation. They have been outgained in all but one game and that was just a six-yard advantage over Duke, a game they still lost 41-23. The Yellow Jackets are 0-7 ATS in their last seven home games. There will be plenty of motivation on the NC State sidelines as after suffering through a four-game losing streak, the Wolfpack need to win their final two games to become bowl eligible. NC State has not won on the road but all of those losses came against teams going bowling or still bowl eligible. The Wolfpack are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four road games against teams with a losing home record. Here, we play on road underdogs after allowing 31 points or more in three straight games going up against an opponent after a loss by 17 or more points. This situation is 64-27 ATS (70.3 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (111) NC State Wolfpack

This is a play on the VANDERBILT COMMODORES for our CBB Wednesday Supreme Annihilator. Vanderbilt had one of the worst SEC seasons ever as it went 0-18 and became the first team since 1953-54 to finish winless in the conference. Head coach Bryce Drew was let go after just three seasons as a new culture was needed and Jerry Stackhouse was brought in to change the course of the program. The Commodores are off to a 2-1 start with the lone loss coming on the road in overtime by a point at Richmond. They are back home to face Austin Peay and this is a big game to get another winning streak going and regain that early season confidence. As bad as they were, four starters are back so they are not starting over. The best player on the floor belongs to the Governors in Terry Taylor, the preseason OVC Player of the Year. Other than that, it gets a little thin. Austin Peay is off to a 1-2 start as it defeated some school named Oakland City while losing to Tulsa and Western Kentucky by an average of 14.5 ppg. Here, we play on home teams as a favorite or pickem with a winning percentage between .200 and .400 from last season, first five games of the season, after closing out last season with eight or more losses in last 10 games, playing a team that had a winning record last year. This situation is 27-3 ATS (90 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (714) Vanderbilt Commodores

This is a play on the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Miami is one of four NBA teams that is still undefeated at home as it is 5-0 following a win over New Orleans on Saturday. The Heat have won three straight games and are currently in third place in the Eastern Conference with a 9-3 record. This is definitely one of the surprises in the NBA as this roster is made up of Jimmy Butler and a lot of not familiar names. This is e first time that Miami is a double-digit favorite. Cleveland has lost a season-high four straight games to fall to 4-9. Kevin Love is coming off his least productive game of the season on Sunday and then was held out on Monday, both of which can be attributed to a lower-back contusion. He will be back tonight which is important to right this ship. In the Monday loss against the Knicks, six players reached double figures in scoring which is the seventh time that has happened this season so this is a balanced team that will improve the more they play together. Here, we play against teams after leading their last three games by five or more points at the half going up against an opponent after trailing their last three games by five or more points at the half. This situation is 24-5 ATS (82.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (505) Cleveland Cavaliers

This is a play on the AKRON ZIPS for our CFB Wednesday Star Attraction. Akron is one of the worst teams in college football but we are backing the Zips at this ridiculous number. They are 0-10 straight up and have failed to cover any of those games but this is their first nationally televised game and they will go all out. As bad as they have been, the Zips have not gotten more than 22 points in any game and now all of a sudden they are getting over 31 points. Miami defeated Bowling Green last week to become bowl eligible while increasing its winning streak to four games. The RedHawks also clinched the MAC East title so unlike a lot of other teams in the conference, they actually have nothing to play for here so we could see a lot of rotations with players who have not played much seeing significant action. Two contrarian situations are on our side here. First, 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 43-18 ATS (70.5 percent) over the last five seasons. Second, we play against favorites of 31.5 or more points off a home win, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team. This situation is 29-8 ATS (78.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (107) Akron Zips

This is a play on the PHOENIX SUNS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Phoenix is coming off a loss last night at home against Boston as it was held to a season low 85 points to conclude its six-game homestand with a 3-3 record. Overall, the Suns are 7-5 with two of the five losses coming by one point and that includes a loss at Denver, its only road blemish of the season. Despite the low output last night, they are averaging 114.9 ppg, sixth most in the league. The Suns are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss. Sacramento has gone 5-2 over its last seven games which includes a 3-0 record at home. The Kings were underdogs in all of those games at home but now they are favored with the reason being they have covered seven consecutive games during this run. That puts the Suns in a very favorable situation where we play against teams with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 after successfully covering the spread in seven or more consecutive games, playing a winning team. This situation is 22-4 ATS (84.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (579) Phoenix Suns

This is a play on the OHIO BOBCATS for our CFB Tuesday Star Attraction. We lost a tough one with Ohio last week as it was defeated in overtime by Western Michigan in its final home game of the season. The Bobcats are still two wins away from bowl eligibility with two games left. That should be a non-issue though as they face the two worst teams in the MAC as they close the season next week at Akron. Their last three losses have been by three points so they should not even be in this position but it is what it is and laying the big number is not a problem. The Bobcats are 21-8 ATS in their last 29 games after allowing more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. Bowling Green lost by 41 points at Miami Ohio last Wednesday to be officially eliminated from bowl contention. It has been a tough year for the Falcons as their three wins came against Morgan St. of the FCS, 0-10 Akron and while the last one came against Toledo, the Rockets lost their starting quarterback in that game. The Falcons are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 home games. Here, we play on favorites of 10.5 to 21 points after two or more consecutive straight up losses, with a winning percentage between .400 and .499. This situation is 30-5 ATS (85.7 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (101) Ohio Bobcats

This is a play on the DAVIDSON WILDCATS for our CBB Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. Davidson is coming off a great season last year but it was a disappointing finish as it won 24 games and won the Atlantic Ten regular season title but lost to St. Louis in the tournament and then bowed out in the first round of the NIT. Expectations are higher this season with all five starters back including a pair of preseason Atlantic Ten First Team players. The Wildcats opened this season with a pair of losses away from home but bounced back with a blowout win over UNC Wilmington in its home opener by 38 points so that should be a springboard going forward. Nevada blew through the MWC last season with a 15-3 record and it won 29 games overall for the second straight season but lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. While it is not a total rebuild, the Wolf Pack will not be close to the same level as they have to replace all five starters. They are off to a 2-2 start and tonight represents their first road game of the season. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that had a winning percentage between .600 and .800 playing a team that had a winning record, with three or more starters returning from last year than opponent, in the first ten games of the season. This situation is 37-12 ATS (75.5 percent) since 1997. 10* (640) Davidson Wildcats

This is a play on the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS for our NFL Monday Primetime Punisher. Mexico City hosts a big AFC West divisional game as what once looked like a runaway win for the Chiefs has suddenly become a packed race. Kansas City won its first four games but has dropped four of its past six, allowing Oakland to get within a half-game of the division lead with the Chargers sitting just two games back. The absence of quarterback Patrick Mahomes led to a lot of the struggles for the Chiefs but he claimed this week he feels as healthy as he has been since Week One. He had a monster game last week in his return but the Chiefs lost at Tennessee despite outgaining the Titans by 159 total yards as a fumble return for the touchdown was the ultimate difference. The Chargers fell to 4-6 after a loss to the Raiders and that was the sixth loss by one possession. That would entice a play on the Chargers as those numbers point to a close game However, while the Chargers were among the league's better teams in not committing turnovers the past two seasons, their 16 giveaways this season are tied for seventh in the league. And that adds to a great situation as we play on teams after three consecutive games where they forced one or less turnovers going up against an opponent after a game with a turnover margin of -3 or worse. This situation is 46-18 ATS (71.9 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (475) Kansas City Chiefs

This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. This is the second meeting in five days between Milwaukee and Chicago, who played Thursday in Milwaukee in their first meeting of the season. The Bucks pulled away for a 124-115 win in that game as 11.5-point favorites and now they hit the road as favorites by just three fewer points which is not correct based on change of venue. Milwaukee has won three straight games and seven of its last eight to take a 2.5-game lead over Indiana in the Central Division. However, the Bucks are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. Chicago has lost two straight games to fall to 4-9 but this is a good spot with a good line. The Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss and they are 2-0 ATS as underdogs of 7.5 or more points. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after having won five or six of their last seven games, playing a team with a winning percentage between .250 and .400. This situation is 67-32 ATS (67.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (564) Chicago Bulls

This is a play on the MISSOURI TIGERS for our CBB Monday Supreme Annihilator. We played against Missouri last Tuesday as it fell in overtime at Xavier but the Tigers head back home in a great spot. This defense is for real as they are allowing opponents to shoot just 32.4 percent from the floor which is 9th in the country while allowing only 53.7 ppg, 13th in the nation. The Tigers are 8-0-1 ATS in their last nine non-conference games. Wofford comes to Columbia on a two-game losing streak and in still trying to find their identity. The Terriers were one of the best unknown teams last year, ending the year at 18 in KenPom and only missing the Sweet 16 by six points. But Wofford no longer fields Fletcher Magee, the sharpshooting guard who holds the NCAA all-time career record for three-pointers. The Terriers traveled to Hinkle Fieldhouse to get whacked by Butler last week and things will not be any easier here. Here, we play on home teams off a cover where the team lost straight up as an underdog, marginal losing team from last season (40% to 49%) playing a team that had a winning record. This situation is 43-15 ATS (74.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (616) Missouri Tigers

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES RAMS for our NFL Sunday Primetime Punisher. The Rams have been catching a lot of heat for their 5-4 record after going 13-3 last season and making it to the Super Bowl. They have been one of the unluckiest teams in the NFL however as they have 16 giveaways to just 14 takeaways compared to a +11 turnover margin last season. Los Angeles has outgained eight of nine opponents this season which shows they are playing better than their record shows. The fell short at Pittsburgh last week 17-12 and they are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games after scoring less than 15 points in their previous game. Chicago is in the same situation as they already have one more loss than all of last season but its 4-5 record is s true indication of how it has played. The Bears have been outgained in six of nine games thanks to an anemic offense that is fourth worst in the NFL with 262.2 ypg. Additionally, they are allowing close to 30 more ypg than in 2018. The Bears are 0-5 ATS in their last five games after allowing more than 350 total yards in their previous game. Here, we play on home favorites with a winning percentage between .450 and .550 after having lost four or five out of their last six games. This situation is 23-5 (82.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (474) Los Angeles Rams

This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. The Nuggets have won five of their last six games thanks to a defense that is not often seen there. Denver has allowed 98 or fewer points in each of its last six wins. Conversely, the three losses this season have all come in games when the opponent scored 109 or more points. The Nuggets are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games against teams with a losing straight up record. The Grizzlies are coming off their most emotional win of the season when they celebrated Mike Conley's return with a festive night Friday that concluded in a 107-106 win over Utah. It was the third straight win for the Grizzlies and is bound to cap off with a lifeless performance today. The Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in their last five games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play against home underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are coming off a home win by three points or less, in November games. This situation is 29-3 ATS (90.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (549) Denver Nuggets

This is a play on the SETON HALL PIRATES for our CBB Sunday Star Attraction. While Seton Hall rolled in its first two games against two cupcake teams, it was tested in Game Three and nearly pulled off the upset. The Pirates, ranked No. 12 in the AP Poll, nearly pulled off the upset as they lost by just three points against Michigan St. as they fell victim to a 10-2 run by the Spartans to close the game. This is a revenge game as well as a year ago to the day, the Billikens won at Seton Hall by a bucket and the Pirates have had this game circled, most notably Myles Powell who is arguably one of the best players in the country after he was held to 4-13 from the floor. While St. Louis is 3-0, it has beaten no one and it is a much different team than the one from last season that won four games in four days to make it to the NCAA Tournament. From the team that won at Seton Hall last season, the Billikens have three players from that game and they scored a combined seven points. Seton Hall is 10-1 ATS in its last 11 games coming off a cover where it lost straight up as an underdog. 10* (855) Seton Hall Pirates

This is a play on the HOUSTON TEXANS for our NFL Underdog Game of the Month. Baltimore remains the talk of the NFL, namely Lamar Jackson, and because of all of the positive pub, the lines are remaining inflated. Coming off a divisional win and a winner over the Patriots prior to that, this could be the letdown finally especially with a Monday night game with the Rams on deck. Baltimore has outgained six of nine opponents, the same as Houston, so they may have overachieved slightly based on their 7-2 record that consists of wins over the Bengals twice, the Cardinals and the Dolphins. The Ravens are 5-12-2 ATS in their last 19 games following a straight up win of more than 14 points. Houston is coming off its bye week with a chance for extra preparation for Jackson. The Texans are 6-3 with all three losses coming by one possession and they were tied or had the lead going into the fourth quarter in two of those. Not much respect in this line with a strong Houston team. The Texans are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a bye week. Here, we play against home teams with a winning percentage of .750 or better off a road win against a division rival, playing a team with a winning record in the second half of the season. This situation is 24-5 ATS (82.8 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (465) Houston Texans

This is a play on the DENVER BRONCOS for our NFL Sunday Enforcer. Minnesota is turning some heads with its 7-3 start as it has won five of its last six games to remain one game behind the Packers in the NFC North. The Vikings defense gets a lot of credit, maybe a little too much as they have allowed 24, 26 and 30 points in three of their last four games. The only exception was allowing nine points to lowly Washington. After being first in third down percentage defense each of the last two years, Minnesota is just No. 16 in that category this season. The Vikings are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win. With the exception of getting blown out against Kansas City a few Thursdays ago, the Broncos have held their own as four of the other five losses came by one possession with three of those coming by two points and in the other only double-digit loss, they were outgained by just two yards by the Packers. Broncos quarterback Brandon Allen, who won his first NFL start in the team's most recent game on Nov. 3 against Cleveland, played a very efficient 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 36-12 ATS (75 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (459) Denver Broncos

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Saturday Supreme Annihilator. It has been an up and down season for Dallas and it returns home following a 1-2 roadtrip that included a loss to the Knicks in its last game on Thursday. The Mavericks had won their first four road games prior to losing the last two yet they are just 2-3 at home which includes another bad loss to New York. It also includes a two-point loss to Portland and a loss to the Lakers in overtime so the record could be a lot better. Going back, the Mavericks are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 home games against teams with a winning road record. Toronto is off to a hot start even without the services of Kawhi Leonard and it is also without Kyle Lowry due to injury. The Raptors are coming off wins in three of four games to open this roadtrip, which ends after tonight as they have improved to 4-3 on the highway. But they find themselves in a tough spot here with a lookahead to home. Here, we play on home teams with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 where the line is +3 to -3 after having lost two of their last three games, playing a winning team. This situation is 63-30 (67.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (540) Dallas Mavericks

This is a play on the ST. BONAVENTURE BONNIES for our CFB Saturday Star Attraction. St. Bonaventure is off to a surprising 0-3 start considering it brings back three starters from its 18-win team that made it all the way to the Atlantic Ten Conference Finals before losing to St. Louis by a bucket. The Bonnies are 0-3 for the first time in 15 years. They have been anemic offensively, averaging 59 ppg while shooting 35 percent from the field and 23 percent from three-point range. They trailed by two possessions or fewer deep into the second half of all three contests before fizzling out in the end and they are catching a big number here. Rutgers won its first three games but had a couple of close calls against Bryant and Drexel and that is saying a lot considering it was favored by double-digits in both of those. And all of those came at home so this is the Scarlet Knights first trip outside New Jersey. The Bonnies expect to have a big fan edge in Toronto based on campus proximity and how their fans travel. 10* (803) St. Bonaventure Bonnies

This is a play on the WASHINGTON ST. COUGARS for our CFB Saturday Supreme Annihilator. Washington St. is coming off a pair of losses but both of those were on the road where it fell to 0-4 on the season, all coming in the Pac 12. The Cougars are 3-1 at home with the lone loss coming against UCLA where they squandered a 32-point lead. At 4-5, they have to win two more games to become bowl eligible and with the finale being at Washington, this game and the home game against Oregon St. are must wins. The Cougars are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 home games. It has been a very disappointing season for Stanford which came in with higher expectations but currently sits at 4-5 following a loss at Colorado last week. The Cardinal are 1-3 on the road with the lone win coming at Oregon St. but they were favored in that game. While they also need to win two of their final three games to become bowl eligible, it is hard no to look ahead to their rivalry game next week against California and then Notre Dame two weeks from now, both of which are at home. Cardinal are 0-5 ATS in their last five road games. 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 29-5 ATS (85.3 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (404) Washington St. Cougars

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our CFB Saturday Star Attraction. We won with Minnesota last weekend as it defeated undefeated Penn St. and that puts the Gophers in a huge letdown spot especially after seeing the fans rush the field afterwards. It has been a magical season for Minnesota as it is ranked in the top ten for the first time in 57 years and are 9-0 for the first time since 2004 but we expect it to be a short stay. Prior to the win over Penn St., there was not a solid win within the conference and we think the Nittany Lions are overrated to begin with. Iowa is coming off a loss against Wisconsin by two points to make it three losses by a total of 14 points. The Iowa defense is ranked in the FBS top 20 in rushing, passing, scoring and total defense. The Hawkeyes have given up only 12 touchdowns, behind only Ohio State (eight) and Georgia (10) in the FBS and have shut out Rutgers and Northwestern. Facing a strong offense has been an issue in the past for Iowa teams as it is 20-7 ATS in its last 27 games against teams averaging 37 or more ppg. Here, we play against teams with a winning percentage of .800 or better after beating the spread by 49 or more points total in their last five games, playing a team with a winning percentage between .600 and .800. this situation is 43-17 over the last five seasons. 9* (336) Iowa Hawkeyes

This is a play on the UAB BLAZERS for our CFB Game of the Year. This is a clear mismatch on paper and UAB will come into this game seething. The Blazers are coming off a pair of losses, one against Tennessee and last week against 6-3 Southern Mississippi. The offense was shut down both times, scoring a total of nine points. In addition to that, UAB allowed its two highest points totals, 30 and 37 points respectively. That increased the defensive numbers slightly on a defense that is stout. The Blazers are allowing 263 ypg which is 6th in the nation and are giving up just 19.7 ppg which is 22nd in the country. They have absolutely dominated the Miners over the last two seasons, allowing an average of 164 ypg and yielding only seven points total. We should see another domination this week as UTEP is averaging just 19.3 ppg on offense, 115th in the nation while racking up just 307.7 ypg, 120th in the country. The Miners have lost eight straight games and have been outgained in every one of those. Their only victory came against Houston Baptist, which is 4-6 in the FCS, by just two points. This is a bad team and catches UAB at the wrong time. Here, we play against underdogs with a winning percentage of .250 or less of 10.5 to 21 points after six or more consecutive straight up losses, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 30-7 ATS (81.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (368) UAB Blazers

This is a play on the INDIANA HOOSIERS for our CFB Saturday Enforcer. This is a great spot for Indiana. Playing against teams that were previously undefeated and lost in their previous game has always been a great situation. Reason being those teams tend to come out flat following their first loss of late into the season. Penn St. fell at Minnesota last week following wins in its first eight games and it has dropped its last six games against number coming off a straight up loss as a favorite. The Nittany Lions played three tough opponents prior to Minnesota - Pittsburgh, Iowa and Michigan - and they won those games by seven, five and seven points so this line is severely inflated. Indiana has won four straight games and is 7-2 on the season, garnering the Hoosiers their first trip inside the top 25 since 1994. Granted, they have not beaten anyone of note but past Hoosiers teams would have lost at least a few of those. Indiana has outgained six of nine opponents and are outgaining opponents by 136.4 ypg. Here, we play on road underdogs excellent offensive team averaging 440 or more ypg going up against teams averaging between 390 and 440 ypg, after outgaining its last opponent by 225 or more total yards in their previous game. This situation is 34-10 ATS (77.3 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (325) Indiana Hoosiers

This is a play on the SAN DIEGO ST. AZTECS for our CFB Friday Star Attraction. Both Fresno St. and San Diego St. are coming off losses in their last game as underdogs and we think it is the home team that has the edge to bounce back. The Aztecs were favored by 2.5 points early in the week, but as of Thursday evening the Bulldogs were a 1-point chalk. The Aztecs need to beat Fresno St. this week and Hawaii in Honolulu next week in order to secure the MWC West Division. The Bulldogs are in the interesting position of being in control of the division with a victory and out of the race with a loss. The Fresno St. defense is allowing 32.4 ppg (103rd in the nation), which opens up the possibility for success for the Aztecs offense that has struggled with inconsistencies all season. The inability to slow down opposing offenses in 2019 is a big reason why the Bulldogs have fallen back to the pack in the MWC. On the other side, the Aztecs are allowing just 277.2 ypg and 14.4 ppg which are both 8th in the country so they have a clear edge in that department. The Aztecs have not allowed more than 23 points (in a 23-17 loss to Utah State) to an opponent all season. Here, we play against road favorites with a scoring defense allowing 31 or more ppg, after allowing 31 points or more in two straight games. This situation is 70-35 ATS (66.7 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (318) San Diego St. Aztecs

This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Two of the hotter teams in the NBA square off in Houston Friday night. The Rockets have won five straight games including an impressive win over the Clippers on Wednesday but that was just their first win over a team with a winning record. This line was not available in many places after it was taken down due to the possible rest for Russell Westbrook. What we do know is that Clint Capela will sit because of a possible concussion and they are still without Eric Gordon with s knee injury. The Rockets are 0-4 ATS in their last four games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Indiana has won four straight games and seven of its last eight after a 0-3 start. The Pacers have played a relatively soft schedule as well but winning is contagious and they re catching their biggest number of the season after starting 2-0 ATS as underdogs. 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 25-6 ATS (80.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (519) Indiana Pacers

This is a play on the RHODE ISLAND RAMS for our CBB Friday Star Attraction. Both Alabama and Rhode Island enter this game with 1-1 records with the Tide coming off a win over Florida Atlantic while the Rams are coming off a blowout loss at Maryland. We feel Rhode Island bounces back at home as this is an experienced team that went through a lot of adversity last season and fought through it admirably. They have all five starters back this season and they are deeper and more talented than the team from last year. The Rams still have designs on doing enough damage in the nonconference portion of their schedule to be legitimate NCAA Tournament contenders by the time March rolls around. This is the first road game of the season for Alabama which likes to play up tempo but will likely be slowed down against the slower paced Rams. Alabama continues to list its top defender, Herb Jones, as a game-time decision with a hyperextended elbow. 10* (704) Rhode Island Rams

This is a play on the CLEVELAND BROWNS for our NFL Thursday Primetime Punisher. We played on Cleveland last Sunday and it resulted in a push for most and we are backing the Browns again this week in their back-to-back home spot. It was a must win then and it is a must win again this week and the Browns catch Pittsburgh coming off an upset win as a home underdog and now has to travel. With Mason Rudolph failing to exceed 200 passing yards in four of his seven starts, the Steelers will likely feature a run-heavy offensive attack. The key is whether Cleveland will be able to limit Pittsburgh on the ground on a short week. The money is coming in on the Steelers which is because of their recent success but they have played only one road game over the past seven weeks and they have been outgained in seven of nine games on the season. Here, we play against teams with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 off an upset win as a home underdog, playing a losing team in the second half of the season. This situation is 22-3 (88 percent) since 1983. 10* (310) Cleveland Browns

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Dallas will be out for some quick revenge after losing the first meeting of this series less than a week ago at home by four points. The Mavericks followed that up with a blowout win over Memphis before losing at Boston on Monday. Kristaps Porzingis was playing the revenge narrative against the Knicks after being traded but he fell short and now he gets some payback at MSG. Dallas is 21-9 ATS in its last 30 games off a road loss. Despite that victory in Dallas, New York is a bad team. The Knicks are just 2-9 with the only other win coming against 4-7 Chicago. New York is 1-4 ATS as an underdog of less than eight points this season and going back, it is 9-23 ATS when playing against a team with a winning percentage between .600 and .700. Here, we play on road favorites with a scoring differential of +3 to +7 ppg going up against teams with a scoring differential of -7 ppg or worse, after a combined score of 205 points or more 4 straight games. This situation is 33-9 ATS (78.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (505) Dallas Mavericks

This is a play on the NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS for our CFB Thursday Star Attraction. North Carolina has been one of the unluckiest teams in college football this season. The Tar Heels are 4-5 with all five losses coming by just one possession. This includes three losses by a field goal or less highlighted by the one-point loss to Clemson. The Pittsburgh defense is no joke but this is one matchup that the Panthers can get burned. North Carolina is 14th nationally with 20 passing plays of more than 30 yards and 8th with 13 completions for more than 40 yards. The Panthers are 76th in the country with 10 passes of 30 or more yards allowed and 110th with 10 completions of more than 40 yards allowed. Running the ball is key as well. With the exception of Week Two against Miami, North Carolina has rushed for at least 144 yards in every game and racked up 186 yards against a good Virginia defense in their most recent contest. Here, we play against home favorites with a winning percentage between .600 and .800 after having won 5 or 6 out of their last 7 games, playing a team with a winning percentage between .400 and .499. This situation is 30-7 ATS (81.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (313) North Carolina Tar Heels

This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS for our CFB Wednesday Star Attraction. This is a big game for both sides and we like the home team which has a lot more on the line. Toledo is tied with Ball St. at 3-2 in the conference and is a half-game behind Central Michigan and a game behind Western Michigan. The Rockets would need help from Ball St. but would hold the tiebreaker over Western Michigan because of a 31-24 win over the Broncos. Quarterback Mitchell Guadagni is again questionable and is probably another no go. Starting in his place has been Eli Peters, who is no stranger to starting. Peters played in 11 games last season where he threw for 1,837 yards, 18 touchdowns and seven interceptions. The Huskies have to win out to become bowl eligible and it will not be easy with all three games coming against teams .500 or better. For Northern Illinois, quarterback Ross Bowers has given them a boost to their passing offense, throwing for 1947 yards and six touchdowns but he has also been forced into a lot of tough situations which has led to bad throws, resulting in eight interceptions. The Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games against teams with a losing road record while the Huskies are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game. 10* (308) Toledo Rockets

This is a play on the CHARLOTTE HORNETS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Memphis is coming off an upset win at San Antonio on Monday as it won by four points as an 11-point underdog. It was the first road win for the Grizzlies and just the third win overall as they are now 3-7 on the season. Going back, the Grizzlies are 4-13 ATS in their last 17road games after playing a road game. Charlotte has dropped three straight games to fall to 4-6 on the season and this skid came on the heels of a three-game winning streak. The Hornets have played the eighth toughest schedule in the NBA and while going 0-4 against the top ten, thy are 4-2 against everyone else including 3-1 against teams outside the top 16. Charlotte is 17-4 ATS in its last 21 games after two or more consecutive losses. Here, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 coming off a road win, playing six or more games in 10 days. This situation is 61-29 ATS (67.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (580) Charlotte Hornets

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Two teams off to their best starts in nearly a decade square off tonight and we are going to be on the public side here in a value play. The Lakers have won seven of their first nine, their best start since 2010-11, although their seven-game winning streak was broken in a 113-104 loss to Toronto on Sunday. Meanwhile, at 6-3, the Suns are off to their best start since the 2009-10 team won eight of its first nine. The reason this line is so low is because of the Anthony Davis shoulder situation. He is listed as probable but it would not be surprising to see him get scratched here considering the Lakers have a game tomorrow as well. Nonetheless, the Lakers are still the better team here with or without Davis and there will be a sense of urgency coming off that loss to the Raptors and there will be no looking past Phoenix based on its early body of work. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are outscoring their opponents by six or more ppg, after allowing 100 points or more in five straight games. This situation is 24-4 ATS (85.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (569) Los Angeles Lakers

This is a play on the XAVIER MUSKETEERS for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. Xavier remains home and will be out for some revenge tonight. The 2-0 Musketeers have limited their opponents to 39.3 percent shooting from the field and while the challenge goes up tonight, they have what it takes on both ends. In scouting Xavier, multiple Missouri players pointed to their big guards, Quentin Goodin and Dahmir Bishop, and experience, as the Musketeers bring back four starters. Forwards Tyrique Jones and Naji Marshall both average 18.5 ppg. Xavier is 13-3 ATS in its last 16 home games following two consecutive double-digit home wins. Missouri is also 2-0 and its defensive numbers are even more impressive. The unbeaten Tigers have held their first two opponents to 32.2 percent shooting from the floor but the competition goes up in a massive way. This is a rare non-conference road game for the Tigers and going back, they Tigers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games against teams with a winning home record. Xavier lost at Missouri last season where nothing went right. The Musketeers made 19 shots in that game, turned the ball over 17 times and at one point, trailed by 29 points. They were out-rebounded, out-shot and out-hustled. 10* (756) Xavier Musketeers

This is a play on the OHIO BOBCATS for our CFB Tuesday Star Attraction. We played against Ohio last week as it lost outright to Miami as a touchdown favorite but the value has shifted to the Bobcats this week as they are only short favorites now despite facing a team that is actually lower vin the power rankings than the RedHawks. There is not much room left for Ohio to make it to the postseason as it has to win two of its last three games and while the last two should be win, nothing can be taken for granted. Both of those games are on the road so this is the final home game of the season for the Bobcats which gives it some extra meaning as well as looking to break their 0-5 ATS record at Peden Stadium. For Western Michigan, it is simple. The Broncos are bowl eligible following a pair of wins at home where they are 6-0 on the season. Conversely, they are 0-4 on the road where they have to play their final two games as the last game against Ball St. was their final home game of the season. Here, we play against teams with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 where the line is +3 to -3 that are coming off a home win against a conference rival. This situation is 34-7 ATS (82.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (304) Ohio Bobcats

This is a play on the HAWAII WARRIORS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. This is the second of a back-to-back for both Hawaii and Pacific with this being the third and final game of the Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic. Both teams were able to defeat Florida A&M but both lost to South Dakota. Hawaii should be able to make a run at the Big West Conference title this season after finishing fourth last year. The Warriors finished with 18 wins, the most since 2016-17, and they bring back three starters and nine players. They lost to South Dakota, which is expected to contend in the Summit League, as it was a two-point game with just 28 seconds left until the Coyotes pulled away. At the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Pacific brings in nine new players including just one starter. In their game against South Dakota, the Tigers lost by 10 points. This is going to be a long season for them with the new faces and coming off a season where it went 14-18, expectations are low. The Warriors are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up loss while the Tigers are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games following a non-conference game. 10* (746) Hawaii Warriors

This is a play on the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS for our NFL Monday Night Primetime Punisher. A once heated rivalry is restored with a lot on the line in the NFC West. It is hard to believe but this is the first time since Thanksgiving night in 2014 where both teams have a winning record. Seattle has won two straight games including a thrilling overtime win last week against Tampa Bay. The Seahawks rushed for 145 yards against the Buccaneers which has the top raked rushing defense in the NFL and while the San Francisco defense is highly praised, it is just No. 14 against the run while allowing 4.7 ypc which is near the bottom of the league. The Seahawks are 7-2 and going back, they are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games against teams with a winning home record. The 49ers are the lone remaining undefeated team in the NFL at 8-0 but they have played the third easiest schedule in the league. The 49ers suffered a big loss last week when linebacker Kwon Alexander went down with a season-ending torn left pectoral muscle. Additionally, standout tight end George Kittle likely will not see the field as he is listed as doubtful. Here, we play against home teams with a winning percentage of .750 or higher off a road win against a division rival, playing a team with a winning record in the second half of the season. This situation is 23-5 ATS (82.1 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (273) Seattle Seahawks

This is a play on the DETROIT PISTONS for our NBA Monday Supreme Annihilator. Minnesota is in a tough spot here coming off a pair of overtime games, including one yesterday, and now it has to travel on a back-to-back. The Timberwolves have lost three of their last four games including the game on Sunday. This is the first back-to-back this season for Minnesota but it has had little rest over the last 10 days as they have had to travel all but one day with only one back-to-back home game and just one day of rest between its last five games. The Timberwolves are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games when their starting five combine for more than 160 minutes the previous day. Detroit is also coming off a loss as it fell to New Orleans on Friday so it has ample rest to bounce back. The Pistons are just 1-4 on the road but they are 3-2 at home and have covered five of their last seven games at home against winning teams. This line came out late because of injury concerns and Detroit gets a big piece back tonight with Blake Griffin making his season debut. The Pistons are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games playing with two days of rest. 10* (550) Detroit Pistons

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS for our NBA Sunday Supreme Annihilator. Portland has lost four straight games including a four-point loss to the Nets on Friday despite a career high 60 points from Damian Lillard. The Blazers have yet to win at home, losing their first three games at the Moda Center which is their worst start at home since 1971. They are an above average defensive team holding opponents to 55.4 true FG percent which is 12th in the NBA. The Blazers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a losing straight up record. Atlanta opened the season 2-0 but has lost five of its last six games. The Hawks have lost two in a row since John Collins, their second-leading scorer and leading rebounder, was suspended 25 games for PED use. With Collins out, Trae Young and Jabari Parker are the only Hawks players averaging double figures. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after two straight games allowing a shooting pct. of 50 percent or higher going up against an opponent after two straight games making nine or more three-point shots. This situation is 67-31 ATS (68.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (546) Portland Trailblazers

This is a play on the MINNESOTA VIKINGS for our Sunday Night Primetime Punisher. Minnesota had a four-game winning streak snapped with a loss in Kansas City last week as it allowed two field goals over the last 2:30 including one with no time remaining to lose by three. This is a very solid team with one of the best rosters in the NFL and the Vikings come in as the No. 6 ranked team in the latest power ratings which is three spots higher than the Cowboys making this line off by two points. The Vikings trail Green Bay by a game in the NFC North and currently hold the last playoff spot in the conference. The Cowboys are coming off a pair of divisional wins over the Eagles and Giants. Four of their five wins have come against teams with two or fewer wins so it is hard to gage how good this team really is. Dallas is playing on a short week coming off a Monday night game and the Cowboys are 1-4 ATS in their last five games when playing on Sunday following a Monday night game. Here, we play on road teams where the line is +3 to -3 off a road loss, in November games. This situation is 64-32 ATS (66.7 percent) since 1983. 10* (271) Minnesota Vikings

This is a play on the CALGARY STAMPEDERS for our CFL Sunday Enforcer. The Stampeders are playing a rare semifinal playoff game as Saskatchewan was able to win the West Division and get a first round bye. Calgary has an advantage since it is at home and as healthy as it has been in months. After a 3-2 start, the Stampeders have won their last four games at McMahon Stadium and they have won their last five home playoff games. Reigning Most Outstanding Player Bo Levi Mitchell is justifying a four-year contract extension signed last winter by playing some of the best football of his career. And he has torched the Blue Bombers in 2019 with 344 yards per game. Winnipeg has been up and down to close the season as it lost four of its last six games while getting outgained in five of those. Despite a season ending split with Calgary, the Blue Bombers were outgained both times. Here, we play against road teams after a game where they forced no turnovers going up against an opponent after two consecutive game where they committed one or less turnovers. This situation is 35-9 ATS (79.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (824) Calgary Stampeders

This is a play on the CINCINNATI BENGALS for our AFC North Game of the Year. We won with Baltimore last week as it won as a home underdog over previously undefeated New England. Now hitting the road and facing a winless team, this presents the perfect letdown spot. Additionally, the Ravens next three games are against the Texans, Rams and 49ers. It has been an ugly season for the Bengals which are 0-8 and finally decided to make a change at quarterback as Andy Dalton has likely played his last game as a Bengal. Ryan Finley will get the start and while some will think this is a bad idea against an elite Baltimore defense, the defense is not elite like it used to be. Baltimore allows 348.3 ypg which is middle of the pack and its 22 ppg allowed is also right in the middle. Look for the Bengals to play an inspired game for Finley. Here, we play against favorites coming off an upset win as a home underdog, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team. This situation is 62-28 ATS (68.9 percent) since 1983. 10* (262) Cincinnati Bengals

This is a play on the CLEVELAND BROWNS as part of our NFL Sunday Trifecta. This is it for Cleveland. This is a must win game to salvage its season which may already be done. The Browns are 2-6 and have lost four straight games. The loss last week against the Broncos was a bad one in a game they should have won and even with that game, they have played the third toughest schedule in the NFL. Cleveland will be looking to get off the schneid at home where it is winless at 0-3. Buffalo ha had the opposite first half of the season as it is 6-2 in part thanks to playing the easiest schedule in the NFL. The Bills have played only two teams with a winning record and those resulted in losses. Additionally, the Bills are coming off three straight home games and a bye before that making this their first road game since Oct. 6. Here, we play on teams where the line is +3 to -3 after four consecutive games where they forced 1 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* (254) Cleveland Browns

This is a play on the ARIZONA CARDINALS as part of our NFL Sunday Trifecta. Arizona is 3-5-1 on the season but it is in a great spot here as the Cardinals are playing with additional rest after their game last Thursday against San Francisco. They have played a middle of the road schedule but have taken advantage when available as Arizona is 0-5 against teams ranked within the top 16 and 3-0-1 against teams outside that ranking. Two of those wins came on the road against the giants and Bengals and Tampa Bay can certainly be grouped with those two teams. The Buccaneers have lost four straight games, failing to cover any of those. They are coming off a devastating loss last week in Seattle in overtime as they led for most of the game, tied the game with less than a minute left before succumbing in the extra period. That is hard to get through and the hangover will remain. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points after covering the spread in 3 out of their last 4 games, team with a losing record in the second half of the season. This situation is 35-12 ATS (74.5 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (255) Arizona Cardinals

This is a play on the CHICAGO BEARS as part of our NFL Sunday Trifecta. Everyone is down on Mitchell Trubisky and rightfully so. The Bears were counting on him to take another step forward and an offense that showed promise in coach Matt Nagy's first season to make more big plays. That has not happened. He has just five touchdown passes after throwing for 24 last season but this game can turn things around. The Bears have lost four straight games and not covering any of those. This is giving us great line value against a team that is struggling just as bad. The Lions have lost four of their last five games with the lone victory coming against the 2-7 Giants. Detroit has the second worst passing defense in the NFL, allowing 288.4 ypg and this is where Trubisky has to take advantage. Additionally, they are allowing 27.1 ppg. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 after allowing 7.0 or more passing ypa in two straight games going up against an opponent after gaining 5.5 or less passing ypa in their last game. This situation is 34-10 ATS (77.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (266) Chicago Bears

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Saturday Supreme Annihilator. Dallas is coming off a pretty embarrassing loss last night as it fell at home to the Knicks which came into the game with just one victory. The Mavericks are in a familiar spot as their previous two losses both came at home and were followed up by road games in which they won both. Going back to last season, the Mavericks are 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 road games. The Grizzlies, meanwhile, hung with host Orlando for three quarters before the Magic went on a 34-8 run over the final 12 minutes to hand Memphis a 118-86 loss on a rare off night for Ja Morant. He is the lone bright spot of this roster as he is the only player averaging more than 14 ppg on a team that fell to 2-6. The Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in their last five games against teams with a winning straight up record. This is the first back-to-back for both teams. Here, we play on road favorites that are +3 to +7 ppg in scoring differential going up against teams that are -7 ppg or worse in scoring differential, after a combined score of 205 points or more four straight games. This situation is 32-9 ATS (78 percent) since 1996. 10* (529) Dallas Mavericks

This is a play on the OKLAHOMA SOONERS for our CFB Blowout Game of the Year. This is a bad time for Iowa St. to have to face Oklahoma. The Sooners will rediscover a fifth gear after a bye week spent stewing over the Kansas St. loss. It was a game it never should have lost as Oklahoma outgained the Wildcats but it lost the turnover battle and allowed Kansas St. to run off 24 consecutive points in the third and fourth quarter. This team will be out for blood. Overall, the Iowa St. defense is having a solid season, ranking 17th nationally in Defensive SP+ and 29th in the ESPN defensive efficiency metric. That should not stop the Sooners from exploiting a handful of matchup advantages on Saturday. Despite the Cyclones success stopping the run this season, Oklahoma may have an advantage on the ground. Playing so many hybrid defenders on the back end involves trading size for versatility. Here, we play on home favorites that are averaging 440 or more ypg going up against a team allowing between 330 and 390 ypg, after gaining 7.25 or more yppl in two consecutive games. This situation is 64-22 ATS (74.4 percent) since 1992. 10* (174) Oklahoma Sooners

This is a play on the NC STATE WOLFPACK for our CFB Saturday Enforcer. This game is reminiscent of the meeting two years ago when Clemson came into escaped with a seven-point win and now the Tigers are being asked to lay well over four touchdowns. Clemson entered at No. 5 in the CFP Rankings but there is nothing to fear as if it wins out, it will be in the playoff. Both offense and defense have been playing at a high level since that scare against North Carolina so NC State will have to play a perfect game to pull off the upset. We are not asking for that though. NC State has had a rough go of it of late but their struggles have come on the road. The Wolfpack are 0-4 on the road but 4-0 at home and a night game in Raleigh will have Carter-Finley Stadium jacked up. The Wolfpack are 21-10-1 ATS in their last 32 home games against teams with a winning road record. Here, we play against favorites of 31.5 or more points coming off a home win, with a winning record on the season. This situation is 32-9 ATS (78 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (118) NC State Wolfpack

This is a play on the LONG BEACH ST. 49ERS for our CBB Saturday Enforcer. Both San Diego and Long Beach St. are coming off losses in their openers but they were different results. The Toreros lost at home as an underdog to Cal Irvine but they did get the cover in the three-point loss. This is a big rebuilding year for San Diego following back-to-back 20-win seasons as it has to replace four starters including a pair of All-WCC players and three double-digit scorers. This team is very undersized and it showed in the first game as they were outrebounded 35-24. Long Beach St. had a much better loss at in lost by just four points at UCLA as a 17-point underdog. The 49ers fell victim to the home calls as they were outscored at the free throw line 22-8 so their 46.2 percent shooting including 47.4 percent from long range was for naught. It was a great effort and one that will give them confidence moving forward. As is the case every year with Long Beach St., it does not shy away from playing a tough schedule as it has upcoming games against Stanford, Sy. Marys and Arizona so this is a game for the taking. Here, we play on home teams that won between 40 and 49 percent of their games from last season off a cover where the team lost straight up as an underdog, playing a team that had a winning record. This situation is 41-13 ATS (75.9 percent) since 1997. 10* (666) Long Beach St. 49ers

This is a play on the MARYLAND TERRAPINS as part of our CFB Saturday Trifecta. Ohio St. has been rolling along this season as it is 8-0 while covering its last seven games and that is a streak we are stepping in front of. The Buckeyes are laying their biggest number of the season and this is even higher than what they were favored by over Miami Ohio and Maryland has a much higher power ranking. The Terrapins have lost four straight and six of its last seven games and is one loss away from staying home for the bowl season. While we do not expect the Terrapins to win, this number is severely inflated based on the streaks. Expect the Buckeyes to lay off the gas here considering they have Rutgers on deck before Penn St. and staying healthy is the biggest concern. Here, we play against favorites of 31.5 or more points off a home win, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team. This situation is 28-7 ATS (80 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (129) Maryland Terrapins

This is a play on the MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS as part of our CFB Saturday Trifecta. A battle of undefeated teams takes place in Minnesota with a lot on the line. The Gophers have outgained all but one opponent but they have played a rather soft schedule. That being said, there is a lot of talent on this team. They rank eighth in offensive SP+ as they play a lot of inside zone behind a monstrous offensive line. The defense has quite a bit to offer, even if the degree of difficulty hasn't been incredibly high. Penn St. is Penn St. so we know what we are going against but the Nittany Lions have shown some vulnerabilities and they will be facing a team brimming with confidence. Penn St. has actually been outgained in four of its games and those were not all against heavyweights as two were against Pittsburgh and Buffalo. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points after scoring 42 points or more in two straight games. This situation is 45-15 ATS (75 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (142) Minnesota Golden Gophers

This is a play on the BAYLOR BEARS as part of our CFB Saturday Trifecta. This is obviously a big game for Baylor to remain undefeated and it knows it cannot slip up before playing host to Oklahoma next week. The Bears are 8-0 and entered the CFP Rankings at No. 12 so they have to run the table and get some help. They have outgained every opponent and by an average of nearly 140 ypg. TCU is one of many teams dealing with a stream of QB injury issues. The question is how effective Max Duggan will be throwing the ball. The Frogs cannot afford balls floating out of his hand and turning into possible interceptions for the Bears. But Duggan is the guy for now and TCU will have to take its chance. Walk-on Matthew Downing is the backup. Here, we play on teams where the line is +3 to -3 after outrushing opponent by 150 or more yards last game going up against an opponent after being outrushed by 125 or more yards last game. This situation is 27-7 ATS (79.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (161) Baylor Bears

This is a play on the OREGON ST. BEAVERS for our CFB Friday Star Attraction. After getting annihilated by Utah, Oregon St. has reeled off two straight wins to move to .500 on the season with a very good possibility to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2013. This team can score in multiple ways and in a hurry which is what you want playing underdogs. Their two talented running backs have them 2nd in the conference in ypc, and while they are only 8th in ypa, Jake Luton has led them to a 21/2 TD/INT ratio. Meanwhile, Washington has lost two straight games, a pair of heartbreaking home underdog defeats and this team has to be shot at this point. The Huskies blew a 14-point lead against Oregon to lose by four points and then last week, they blew a 14-3 lead against Utah and lost by five points. Two great situations are in play here. First, we play against road teams that are outscoring opponents by seven or more ppg, after allowing 31 points or more in two straight games. This situation is 84-43 ATS (66.1 percent) over the last 10 seasons. Second, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points averaging between 5.6 and 6.2 yppl going up against teams allowing between 4.8 and 5.6 yppl, after gaining 6.75 or more yppl in their previous game. This situation is 44-14 ATS (75.9 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (116) Oregon St. Beavers

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS as part of our NBA Friday Trifecta. Portland is coming off a loss at the Clippers last night to make it three straight losses and had the Blazers won last night, this would not be a play. The Blazers are now 3-5 with six of those games taking place on the road and they bring in a 0-2 record at home. Those defeats came against Denver and Philadelphia, two of the best teams in the NBA. The Blazers are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Brooklyn defeated New Orleans in its last game on Monday for just its third win of the season. The Nets are winless on the road with a 0-2 record and they are 0-5 ATS in their last five games against teams with a losing straight up record. Here, we play on home teams after three or more consecutive losses, playing on back-to-back days. This situation is 57-27 ATS (67.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (520) Portland Trailblazers

This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ as part of our NBA Friday Trifecta. While Milwaukee sits atop our power rankings, this is not a good spot for the them tonight. They are coming off a big win over the Clippers on Wednesday in a controversial game where Kawhi Leonard sat and now they remain on the road against a team many are calling the best in the Western Conference. The Bucks are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Utah snapped a two-game losing streak with a win over the Sixers on Wednesday to improve to 5-3 on the season including 4-0 at home. The Jazz are 70-42 ATS in their last 112 home games after failing to cover four of their last five games against the spread. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are outscoring their opponents by 6.0 or more ppg, after allowing 105 points or more in three straight games. This situation is 25-5 ATS (83.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (516) Utah Jazz

This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS as part of our NBA Friday Trifecta. This is a fishy line as public money is pouring in on the Raptors yet the line has not moved. Based on our power rankings, the Raptors should be favored by four points and that goes against this play here based on value, it is about the situation. Toronto has lost just twice and one of the wins came against New Orleans so revenge is in play. The Raptors are 7-15-1 ATS in their last 23 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. New Orleans has lost two straight games following an impressive win over Denver and this team is better than the record indicates. The Pelicans are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play against road teams with a winning percentage of .600 or better after having won 5 or 6 of their last 7 games, playing a team with a losing record. This situation is 139-85 ATS (62.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (512) New Orleans Pelicans

This is a play on the SEATTLE REDHAWKS for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Seattle heads to Pullman to take on Washington St. to face the Cougars, the first of four upcoming road games against major Division I schools. The Redhawks are coming off an 18-15 season where they made it to the CIT Tournament for the second year in a row and expectations are greater this season. They were gutted by injuries last season but were able to close the season strong to make another postseason run. Seattle has four starters back this season, two which are on the preseason WAC All-Conference First Team in Terrell Brown and Myles Carter. The Redhawks have a big edge here as they already have a game under their belt, a 98-64 win over Pacific Lutheran. The Cougars are under a different regime as Kyle Smith is in his first year as head coach. Washington St. went 11-21 last year and was 2nd to last in the Pas 12 with a 4-14 conference record. The Cougars are looking to improve this season and make moves to be competitive in the Pac 12 but they do not have a lot coming back and playing in a new system will have the Cougars come out of the gates slow. 10* (733) Seattle Redhawks

This is a play on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Thursday Supreme Annihilator. This is the time for San Antonio to get back on track. The Spurs have dropped three of their past four, including Tuesday's 108-100 setback in Atlanta. That followed a 103-96 defeat at home to the Lakers in which Los Angeles shot 48.3 percent from the floor. They have covered the number just once in their seven games and as noted many times, this is where the value comes into play. San Antonio is 19-8 ATS in its last 27 home games against teams that are outscoring their opponents by three or more ppg. Oklahoma City has won two straight games to move to 3-4 on the season which is pretty poor considering five of those seven games have been at home including five of the last six. The Thunder lost at Utah and Houston in their two road games and while they covered both games, they were +9 and +10 respectively and now that number is cut in half against a team very comparable to those other two. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after failing to cover 3 of their last 4 against the spread against opponent after having covered 4 of their last 5 against the spread. This situation is 48-19 ATS (71.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (574) San Antonio Spurs

This is a play on the OAKLAND RAIDERS for our NFL Thursday Primetime Punisher. The Raiders are only half a game ahead of the Chargers, but they have shown all season that they are a better team. The Raiders schedule was incredibly tough in the first half of the season as they have played the second toughest slate behind Tampa Bay. They are 0-4 against the top 10 but 4-0 against everyone else. One big factor here will be the rushing game. For Oakland, Josh Jacobs has been great all season and is coming off an awesome game against the Lions where he rushed for 120 yards and scored two touchdowns. He goes up against a Chargers run defense that allows 114.1 ypg on 4.2 ypc. On the other side, the Chargers averaging just 79.4 rushing ypg on 3.6 ypc, both of which are fifth worst in the NFL. Meanwhile, Oakland is allowing only 92.5 ypg on 3.7ypc, seventh and fifth respectively in the league. The Raiders have plenty of revenge to play for as they have been swept by the Chargers in each of the last two seasons. The Chargers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing less than 250 total yards in their previous game while the Raiders have covered six of their last seven home games. 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 27-7 ATS (79.4 percent) since 1983. 10* (108) Oakland Raiders

This is a play on the SOUTH FLORIDA BULLS for our CFB Thursday Star Attraction. With wins in the three of their last four, including a 27-23 win against BYU in their last home game, the Bulls have righted the ship. Going back further, since losing by a combined 63-10 margin in their first two games, the Bulls have won four of six with both losses coming to currently ranked teams. They are 4-4 and this is a massive game as they need two wins to become bowl eligible and their final three games are against Cincinnati, Memphis and UCF which are a combined 22-4. South Florida is a run heavy offense led by Senior Jordan Cronkrite leads the team with 587 yards rushing on 5.4 ypc. Temple is a good pass-rushing team but that will be limited against the Bulls in this matchup. The Owls allow 167.5 ypg on the ground which is just 75th in the country. Statistically, South Florida is a middle-of-the-pack defensive team in the AAC, but the Bulls have forced 20 turnovers through eight games which is second most in the country. While the contest will be played under the lights, the game-time temperature is still expected to be in the low-to-mid 80s with high humidity. Those conditions favor the Bulls as Temple is not used to it and will wear down late in the game. The Owls are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games while the Bulls are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Here, we play on teams where the line is +3 to -3 after outrushing opponent by 150 or more yards last game against opponent after being outrushed by 125 or more yards last game. This situation is 27-6 ATS (81.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (112) South Florida Bulls

This is a play on the MIAMI OHIO REDHAWKS for our CFB Wednesday Enforcer. Both Miami and Ohio come in riding two-game winning streaks and both are tied for first place in the MAC East with 3-1 records. The Redhawks lone loss in the conference came at Western Michigan despite outgaining the Broncos by 55 total yards. A look at the stats overall shows Miami in a hole but it took on a challenging nonconference slate, losing games at Iowa, Cincinnati, and Ohio St. so the numbers are skewed. The RedHawks defense ranks 5th in the MAC giving up just 395.3 ypg on average, a number which drops down dramatically to 349.0 ypg if only MAC games are figured in. Ohio is just 2-2 at home yet is favored by what a dominant home team should be favored by. The Ohio defense ranks 10th in the MAC giving up 446.4 ypg. That stat also ranks them towards the bottom of the total defense chart nationally at 111th and this unit is on track to be the worst defense ever in the Frank Solich era. In conference play, the Miami offense has fared better, averaging 364 ypg, including a season-best 467 yards in its last game against Kent St. Here, we play on road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points after covering the spread in three out of their last four games, in weeks 10 through 13. This situation is 65-29 ATS (69.1 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (105) Miami Ohio RedHawks

This is a play on the CHARLOTTE 49ERS for our CFB Wednesday Enforcer. It is safe to say that a lot of the making of this line is based on the results from last season, namely the 8-21 record posted by Charlotte. The 49ers are expected to be a much improved team as they were crushed with injuries last season and it already showed in an exhibition against Georgia where the Bulldogs had to use a 10-1 run to pull it out. Charlotte welcomes graduate transfers Amidou Bamba and Drew Edwards to the roster, as well as a talented group of freshmen featuring three-star recruit Jahmir Young. James Madison went 14-19 last season and there is not much to be too excited about as the Dukes are projected to finish seventh in the 10-team CAA. This game features two coaches that rely on aggressive defense which means this could be turned into a low scoring game. More importantly, James Madison coach Louis Rowe saw his defense regress from 2018-19 as it plummeted all the way down to 302nd in adjusted defensive efficiency. Meanwhile Charlotte coach Ron Sanchez, a disciple of Tony Bennett at Virginia, saw his team improve from 312th to 224th in his first year and the 49ers should be even better this season. 10* (707) Charlotte 49ers

This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Wednesday Supreme Annihilator. This line came out late due to the questionable status of Domantas Sabonis who sat out last night in the Pacers loss in Charlotte. Indiana will play its third game in four nights on Wednesday, one day removed from seeing its three-game winning streak halted with the overtime defeat. The Pacers blew a 19-point lead and they have a right to complain as the Hornets went to the line 42 times compared to them going to the stripe just seven times. The Pacers are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Washington snapped a three-game losing skid with a 115-99 victory over Detroit on Monday. The Wizards are 1-2 on the road this season with the lone victory coming against Oklahoma City which sits in last place in the Northwest Division. The Wizards are 8-21 ATS in their last 29 road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. 10* (556) Indiana Pacers

This is a play on the CAL RIVERSIDE HIGHLANDERS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Cal Riverside has won just 27 games over the last three years combined going from eight to nine to ten victories. This is the second season for head coach David Patrick and generally, there is improvement in year two ass long as there are pieces in place and that is the case for the Highlanders. They bring back four starters and the strength is in the backcourt as they finished ranked No. 27 in the country in three point shooting. Defense was an issue last season but they should not have to worry much about that here against a Nebraska team that was gutted. It was expected to be a big season for the Huskers last year but they had to settle for an NIT berth and failed to make it past the second round. Tim Miles was let go and Fred Hoiberg was hired and while that is a very good hire, he has nothing to work with. Only one player that saw playing time is back this season, Thorir Thorbjarnarson and he averaged just 2.0 ppg. There are solid transfers on the team but it will be along uphill battle. 9* (665) Cal Riverside Highlanders

This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our NBA Tuesday Star Attraction. After dropping their season opener against the Clippers, the Lakers have won five straight games including a pair of road wins in their last two games over the Mavericks and Spurs. Los Angeles has also covered all five of the games during this stretch and already a public team, the Lakers will be even more popular based on the streak thus overinflating their lines going forward. After six sub-.500 seasons in a row, the Lakers sit atop the Western Conference standings. Chicago has struggled to a 2-5 start but the schedule has not been in its favor as five of the seven games have come on the road. The competition has not been great but winning on the road against any team is tough for young teams. Lauri Markkanen will be tasked with slowing Anthony Davis down tonight. He has been solid thus far this season, averaging 16 ppg, 8.4 rpg and 2.1 apg. Along with Zach LaVine and Otto Porter Jr., they give the Bulls a solid trio. Here, we play against road teams allowing 41 percent shooting or less on the season, after four straight games allowing a 42 percent shooting or less. This situation is 50-20 ATS (71.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (550) Chicago Bulls

This is a play on the NORTHERN IOWA PANTHERS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Northern Iowa finished 16-18 last season including a 9-9 record in the MVC but the Panthers are expected to make a jump back up into the upper tier of the conference. They ended last season playing in the MVC Championship so there is positive momentum heading into this season. Inexperience has been an issue the last couple seasons but that is not the case as Northern Iowa has four starters back and six seniors on the roster. They are led by a sophomore however as A.J. Green led the team in scoring at 15 ppg, was named MVC Freshman of the Year and is on the preseason MVC All First Team. Old Dominion won the regular season C-USA Championship but it will be taking a step back this season. Only two starters are back and gone are 50.8 ppg from the program which is tough for a team that could not score last season while being ranked No. 238 in adjusted offensive efficiency. The Monarchs do not bring anyone back that average double digits in scoring. 9* (642) Northern Iowa Panthers

This is a play on the BRADLEY BRAVES as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Bradley made an improbable postseason run last season as it won the MVC Championship to secure its first NCAA Tournament berth since 2005-06. The Braves have two players on the preseason MVC All First Team in Elijah Childs and Darrell Brown and overall, they bring back their top three scorers. While Bradley was just 5-8 on the road, high expectations are making it the favorite here as is the fact that it looks like another rebuilding year for the Hawks. They finished 14-19 last season which led to the firing of longtime head coach Phil Martelli. St. Joseph's lost four starters and lost four players in total to transfer and chemistry will be an issue early on as only four players are back and one of those did not even play last season. Anthony Longpre is the one returning starter and he averaged a mere 3.2 ppg . The Hawks are in for a long season and now is the time to go against them before the market catches up. 10* (617) Bradley Braves

This is a play on the KENT ST. GOLDEN FLASHES for our CFB Tuesday Enforcer. Every game is big at this point in the MAC as 11 of the conference's 12 teams sit between 3-6 and 6-4 overall and 10 teams are within 1.5 games of each other in conference play. Kent St. is 2-2 in MAC play with both defeats (Ohio and Miami) coming by seven points or less. The Golden Flashes are near the bottom of the MAC in scoring offense at 23.9 ppg but if you eliminate a brutal non-conference slate that featured Auburn, Wisconsin, and Arizona St., Kent St. leads the MAC in scoring at 35.5 ppg in conference-only matchups. Toledo quarterback Mitchell Guadagni was downgraded to doubtful last night so Carter Bradley and Eli Peters occupy the top spots on the depth chart this week. That is great news for the Kent St. defense as neither has shown the ability to stretch the field. Here, we play against teams in the second half of the season averaging 440 or more ypg going up against teams averaging between 330 and 390 ypg, after allowing 6.25 or more yppl in two consecutive games. This situation is 39-13 ATS (75 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (101) Kent St. Golden Flashes

This is a play on the NEW YORK GIANTS for our NFL Monday Night Primetime Punisher. The debut of Daniel Jones was a resounding success in a win over Tampa Bay, the first of two straight victories but the Giants have now lost four straight games. He is coming off a great game last week however against the Lions where he threw for 322 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions and now he heads back home where New York has outgained two of its three opponents. Dallas is coming off a win over the Eagles, which snapped a three-game losing streak, and then had its bye week last week. The Cowboys have owned the Giants in recent seasons, winning five straight, including a 35-17 victory in Dallas in the season opener so that brings the revenge angle into play for tonight. The Giants are 17-3 ATS after allowing 17 points or more in the first half in two straight games while the Cowboys are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game. Here, we play on home underdogs or pickems with a winning percentage of .250 or below after failing to cover the spread in two out of their last three games, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 133-77 ATS (63.3 percent) since 1983. 10* (476) New York Giants

This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Rockets are coming off a rough Sunday, trailing by as many as 41 points enroute to a 129-100 loss to the Heat. They allowed 46 first-quarter points and Miami shot 52.8 percent overall from the floor including going 18 of 41 from long range. We will be backing Houston again here as it is in a great matchup in a perfect bounce back spot. The defense has been a disaster all season but the Rockets face a Memphis team averaging just 106.6 ppg and that is skewed somewhat as one of the games played went in overtime so the regulation average is 103.8 ppg. The Grizzlies leading scorer is rookie Ja Morant at just 18.8 ppg. Memphis is off to a 1-4 start with the victory being that overtime game and this includes a 1-2 record at home with the losses coming against Phoenix and Chicago. The Rockets are 0-6 ATS, the only NBA team without a cover, and that is giving us value as this number has dropped from its opening. Here, we play against home underdogs after allowing 110 points or more in four straight games going up against an opponent after allowing 60 points or more in the first half last game. This situation is 31-9 ATS (77.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (535) Houston Rockets

This is a play on the BALTIMORE RAVENS for our NFL Sunday Primetime Punisher. New England is off to an 8-0 start but we are still not completely sold. The Patriots have played the easiest schedule in the NFL as they have played only one team with a winning record and that resulted in a six-point win over Buffalo where they were outgained by 151 total yards. The defense is putting up record numbers but again, we are still not completely sure how good they are. The Patriots have struggled against versatile quarterbacks and Lamar Jackson fits the bill. He has passed for 1,650 yards and rushed for 576 yards and has led Baltimore to a 5-2 record. The Ravens are coming off a bye following a big win in Seattle to increase their winning streak to three games. The extra time off is key here in facing the Patriots and the Ravens have won 10 straight primetime games. Here we play against road favorites outscoring opponents by 10 or more ppg, after a win by 10 or more points. This situation is 52-18 ATS (74.3 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (474) Baltimore Ravens

This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. The Rockets are coming off a loss against the Nets on Friday as James Harden once again remains in a shooting slump. He shot just 2-of-16 on three-point attempts and is shooting just 20.0 percent from deep this season. He shot 36.8 percent on three-pointers last season, which is in line with his 36.3 career percentage. Houston has yet to cover a game, going 0-5 ATS and that is where the value comes in. Miami is off to a 4-1 start thanks to big contributions from rookies Kendrick Nunn and Tyler Herro. The Heat are 4-0-1 against the number which is also adding value here. A win over Milwaukee in overtime was very impressive but the other three wins came against teams not expected to make a playoff push which includes a home-and-home sweep over Atlanta on Tuesday and Thursday. Here, we play on road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after going over the total by 18 or more points total in their last three games, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 39-15 ATS (72.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (519) Houston Rockets

This is a play on the TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS for our NFL Underdog Game of the Month. The Seahawks have won four of their last five games to improve to 6-2 overall but this team has its flaws. They have been outgained in three of their wins, two of which were against Cincinnati and Atlanta which are a combined 1-15. Seattle lost starting center Justin Britt for the season last week and that is huge for an offensive line that was bad to begin with. The Seahawks are 0-5 ATS in their last five home games. The Buccaneers have lost three straight games including a loss against Tennessee last week that was misleading. They outgained the Titans by 143 total yards but lost the turnover battle 4-1. The week before, they lost to Carolina despite outgaining the Panthers by 139 total yards but lost that turnover battle 7-1. Keep the mistakes in check and they will be fine here. Here, we play against home favorites of 3.5 to 10 points in a game involving two teams with a +/- 3 ppg differential., after allowing three points or less in the first half last game. This situation is 46-19 ATS (70.8 percent) since 1983. 10* (467) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

This is a play on the TENNESSEE TITANS for our NFL Sunday Ultimate Underdog. We made the mistake of playing on Carolina last weekend. And it got hammered by San Francisco51-13. It was the third straight game the Panthers have been outgained and that is not a good sign for a team now laying over a field goal. Quarterback Kyle Allen was finally exposed as he threw his first three interceptions of the season against the second best defense in the NFL. Now he faces the ninth best defense in the league, an underrated Titans unit that allows just 335.6 ypg and allows the eighth lowest quarterback rating. The Titans are coming off a pair of home wins to improve to 4-4 on the season. Tennessee is 2-2 on the road and going back, the Titans are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games against teams with a winning home record. Here, we play against home favorites averaging 4.5 ypc going up against teams allowing between 3.5 and 4.5 ypc, after being outrushed by 75 or more yards last game. This situation is 51-18 ATS (73.9 percent) since 1983. 9* (455) Tennessee Titans

This is a play on the SMU MUSTANGS as part of our CFB Saturday Trifecta. There are two games featuring a matchup of top 25 teams and early in the season, not many would have predicted this would be one of those. SMU is off to an 8-0 start and that perfect record was put in jeopardy last week against Houston as it escaped with a three-point win despite getting outgained by 125 total yards. The Mustangs are extremely balanced as they are throwing for just over 300 ypg while averaging 202.8 ypg on the ground. Memphis was almost upset last week as well as it escaped Tulsa thanks to a missed field by the Golden Hurricane. The Tigers' defense was gashed for 584 yards and was on the field for a whopping 101 plays, but Memphis managed to stagger off with the win. Memphis is 9-22 ATS in its last 31 games as a home favorite of seven points or less while the Mustangs are 5-1 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning record. Here, we play on road underdogs averaging between 190 and 230 ypg rushing going up against teams averaging between 140 and 190 ypg rushing. This situation is 131-73 ATS (64.2 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (359) SMU Mustangs

This is a play on the DETROIT PISTONS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Brooklyn is coming off a win last night as it defeated Houston at home by seven points and is now playing its first back-to-back of the season. This is just the second road game of the season for the Nets with the first resulting in a loss to lowly 1-3 Memphis. The Nets are 0-5 ATS in their last five games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. The Pistons also have a quick turnaround after losing at Chicago 112-106 on Friday. They were hampered by poor perimeter shooting as they missed their first 14 three-point attempts and finished 6-for-29 from long range. Detroit has suffered two straight losses with both coming on the road and it hopes to turn things around at home where it won its last game against Indiana. The Pistons are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Here, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 after one or more consecutive wins, when playing their 3rd game in four days. This situation is 113-66 ATS (63.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (504) Detroit Pistons

This is a play on the UAB BLAZERS as part of our CFB Saturday Trifecta. UAB is off to a 6-1 start with the lone loss coming against Western Kentucky by a touchdown. The record is no fluke as the Blazers have outgained every opponent they have faced and while the schedule has been soft, doing that is still impressive on a weekly basis. They are buoyed by a strong defense that is allowing just 248.6 ypg which is good for fifth best in the country. Tennessee picked up a big win last week against South Carolina to move to 3-5 on the season so every game is big at this point. This is the first time the Volunteers have been favored against an FBS team since Sept. 7 and the number is on the rise. An SEC team is clearly more athletic from top to bottom but UAB is undervalued yet again. Tennessee is 4-21 ATS in its last 25 home games against teams allowing 285 or fewer ypg. Here, we play against home teams with a winning percentage between .250 and .400 after having won two out of their last three games, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 34-8 ATS (81 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (367) UAB Blazers

This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES for our CFB Saturday Enforcer. Utah will be a very popular pick here by laying a short number as a top ten team. The Utes have won and covered four straight games thanks to a defense that has allowed an average of 5.8 ppg over that stretch. Those four straight covers is a reason for the public backing but this is the ideal situation to go against that. The Utes are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games after accumulating more than 450 total yards in their previous game. It has not been an ideal season for the Huskies but we feel they break out here coming off a loss followed by a bye. Chris Peterson is 18-0 in his last 18 games coming off a bye. Per the Bear from ESPN, since October 2016, there have been eight top-10 teams that were less than a 5-point favorite on the road against an unranked team. Those eight teams went 1-7 straight up. Here, we play against road teams with a winning percentage of .800 or better after beating the spread by 42 or more points total in their last five games, playing a team with a winning percentage between .600 and .800. This situation is 28-9 ATS (75.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (392) Washington Huskies

This is a play on the MISSISSIPPI ST. BULLDOGS as part of our CFB Saturday Trifecta. Arkansas is the second worst team among Power Five teams, ahead of only Rutgers this is a bad situation right now on Fayetteville. The Razorbacks are 2-6 on the season with one win coming against Portland St. by only seven points and the other coming against Colorado St. thanks to a 21-0 advantage in the fourth quarter. Overall, they have lost five straight games so they have to win out to become bowl eligible and with a game at LSU on the horizon, that is not happening. Mississippi St. is not playing any better with losses in four straight games and with the exception of a loss at Tennessee, the defeats were against top caliber teams. Mississippi St. is 0-4 against top 30 teams but 3-1 against every other team so that basically tells the story. Additionally, three of those losses were on the road so the schedule has been brutal. Here, we play on road teams after failing to cover the spread in 4 out of their last 5 games against opponent after failing to cover the spread in 5 or 6 out of their last 7 games. This situation is 36-10 ATS (78.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (379) Mississippi St. Bulldogs

This is a play on the SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS for our CFL Saturday Enforcer. There is a lot on the line in the West Division and Saskatchewan has the advantage of being the first game played. With a victory, the Roughriders would lock up the West Division crown for the first time since the 2009 season. Cody Fajardo is now considered questionable for the game after he reportedly pulled a muscle in his back during a closed practice. If he is unable to play Isaac Harker will make the start. All other starters are going to play with what is at stake. Edmonton already knows its playoff fate as it will be traveling to Montreal in a crossover game. The Eskimos lost their final home game of the season, a 27-24 defeats against Saskatchewan in the first game of this hone-and-home. Quarterback Trevor Harris will likely not suit up in the Eskimos final game of the season against the Roughriders, instead Logan Kilgore will be the projected starter. Many other starters are projected to sit as well in preparation of the postseason. Edmonton is 0-8 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record this season while Saskatchewan is 6-0 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record this season. 10* (814) Saskatchewan Roughriders

This is a play on the ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS for our CFB Game of the Month. Army has lost four straight games to fall to 3-5 on the season and the last three losses were as favorites. The Black Knights have dropped five straight games against the number and that puts them in a positive spot here as the line is inflated because of that. All five losses have come by single digits so the record could be a lot better than what it is and there will be plenty of motivation to take the first step toward the Commander-In-Chief Trophy. Air Force has won three straight games, all by double digits as a small favorite. Now the Falcons are laying over two touchdowns for the second time this season after failing to cover the first time as 19.5-point favorites against San Jose St. The Falcons are 9-20 ATS in their last 29 games as double-digit favorites. Meanwhile, Army is 7-0 ATS in its last seven road games after gaining 275 or more rushing yards last game. 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 42-15 ATS (73.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (363) Army Black Knights

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. We played on Orlando Wednesday as it was able to pull away from the Knicks to improve to 2-2 on the season. The wins have come against teams not expected to contend for a playoff spot however and tonight brings their biggest test of the young season. The Magic failed to win or cover following their first win of the season and we expect the same here in their second game as underdogs, the first resulting in a nine-point loss to Toronto. Milwaukee is also 2-2 after a 116-105 road loss against the Celtics on Wednesday as Boston used a massive 37-11 run that began in the third quarter and carried into the fourth to pull away. The Bucks rolled after their first loss this season and going back to last year, they are 23-4 following a loss, covering 20 of those games. Additionally, the Bucks are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Here, we play on favorites off an upset loss as a road favorite, first six games of the season, playoff team from last season who lost four or more of their last five games. This situation is 36-14 ATS (72 percent) since 1996. 10* (569) Milwaukee Bucks

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. With the Sixers win last night, San Antonio still remains as one of two undefeated teams in the NBA. The Spurs are 3-0 but all of those wins have been at home and they are the last team in the NBA to have yet to play a road game. They had a nice win over Portland in their last game but the first two wins came against Washington and New York which are going nowhere and are a combined 2-7. Dejounte Murray and Derrick White are beasts defensively, LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan can still get buckets, and the rest of their roster fits the Spurs mold of competent role players but here comes the biggest test of the season. The Clippers rested Kawhi Leonard on Wednesday night against the Jazz in Salt Lake City and faded in the second half of the 110-96 loss. A mere four games into the season, Leonard is averaging 27 ppg, 7.5 apg, and 6.5 rpg and with the loss last night, this has turned into an even bigger game. They are 2-0 at home with convincing wins over the Lakers and Hornets and add to that tonight with another. 10* (566) Los Angeles Clippers

This is a play on the ARIZONA CARDINALS for our NFL Thursday Star Attraction. San Francisco has been favored by six or more points this season and has failed to cover both times. The latest came in Washington and while the weather played a big role in that game, the 49ers were favored by 10 points and now they are favored by that same amount. Against a team that is much better and playing much better of late sans last week against New Orleans. Taking nothing away from the 7-0 start but San Francisco has played the fifth easiest schedule in the NFL so that has skewed some of its outstanding defensive numbers. That goes along the same line as some of the quarterbacks they have faced. While Kyler Murray is having an average season, he has improved immensely over his last four games compared to his first four games. The 49ers are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games after accumulating more than 150 yards rushing in their previous game while the Cardinals are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games after allowing more than 30 points in their previous game. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 10 points averaging 27 or more ppg, after allowing 14 points or less in two straight games. This situation is 25-7 ATS (78.1 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (302) Arizona Cardinals

This is a play on the GOLDEN ST. WARRIORS as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. We played against Phoenix in its last game and Utah was unable to get the cover. The Suns are 2-2 and could be 4-0 as they fell 108-107 in overtime last week at Denver, then also came up just shy in that 96-95 home loss to Utah on Monday. Phoenix has gone a perfect 4-0 against the number, which is keeping this number down and going back, it is 8-31 ATS in its last 39 games coming off a home cover where the team lost straight up as an underdog. Golden St. showed signs of life in a 134-123 win at New Orleans on Monday that followed 19 and 28-point defeats. The Warriors are back home for the first time since losing their season opener so they will be out to win their first game at the Chase Center. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after allowing 105 points or more in two straight games going up against an opponent after a close loss by three points or less. This situation is 96-51 ATS (65.3 percent) since 1996. 9* (560) Golden St. Warriors

This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. Boston struggled in a 107-93 loss at Philadelphia to begin the season on Oct. 23 before rebounding with a victory over defending champion Toronto on Friday and then at New York on Saturday. The Celtics will be playing for some payback from last season as after opening the second round of the playoffs with a win at Milwaukee by 22 points, they were swept over the next four games to bow out of the postseason. The Celtics are 18-8-1 ATS in their last 27 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. The Bucks are also off to a 2-1 start following a blowout win over lowly Cleveland. Both wins came against teams where they were favored by at least 11 points. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are shooting between 45.5 and 47.5 percent going up against teams shooting between 41.5 and 43.5 percent, after a game making 12 or more three-point shots. This situation is 23-5 ATS (82.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (550) Boston Celtics

This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC as part of our NBA Wednesday Trifecta. Orlando opens its three-game homestand tonight and this is actually a big game based on what is on deck. The Magic will face the Bucks on Friday and the Nuggets on Saturday during their first set of back-to-back games this season. Orlando is just 1-2 to start the season following a pair of road losses at Toronto and Atlanta and the Magic have failed to cover in all three games. Orlando is 8-0 ATS in its last eight games when playing against teams with a winning percentage between .250 and .400. The Knicks opened the season with three straight losses before a win over Chicago on Monday. There have been some good things going on and good signs for the future, especially RJ Barrett who leads the team with 20.5 ppg. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points allowing between 41.5 and 43.5 percent shooting going up against teams allowing between 45.5 and -47.5 percent shooting, after a game making 12 or more three-point shots. This situation is 69-35 ATS (66.3 percent) since 1996. 9* (540) Orlando Magic

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. It has been a solid start to the season for both Atlanta and Miami which come into Tuesday with a 2-1 record. The Hawks are coming off their first loss of the season last night against the Sixers in a close two-point defeat. Atlanta had a chance to win the game but Vince Carter's three-point attempt hit the back rim and bounced high and away as the buzzer sounded. Atlanta has covered all three games this season and that is putting the public squarely on the side of the Hawks. Miami is also coming off its first defeat of the season as it lost at Minnesota on Sunday as it carried a seven-point lead into the fourth quarter only to get outscored 39-25. The Heat rolled over a bad Memphis team in its lone home game and followed that up with an impressive road win at Milwaukee. The Heat are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after allowing 105 points or more in two straight games going up against an opponent after a close loss by three points or less. This situation is 95-51 ATS (65.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (534) Miami Heat

This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Utah is off to a 2-1 start with the lone loss coming on the road against the Lakers. Following that defeat, the Jazz made a season-high 18 three-pointers and tied a franchise record with 13 threes in the first half while routing Sacramento 113-81 on Saturday. Utah has held all three opponents to under 40 percent shooting from the field and its 90.3 ppg allowed is the lowest in the NBA. The Jazz won all four games against Phoenix last season by an average of 24.8 ppg, and they have won 14 of the last 15 meetings. Phoenix is also off to a 2-1 start following an upset win over the Clippers on Saturday as a 10-point home underdog. The Suns have split their last two games with Aron Baynes and Frank Kaminsky holding down the center spot in the absence of Deandre Ayton, who was suspended for 25 games for violating the league's anti-drug policy Thursday. With the Jazz being a leading contender in the Western Conference, they are laying only around half of what the Clippers were laying and that is not accurate so we are getting a bunch of value tonight. Here, we play against home underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a home win scoring 110 or more points, when playing their 3rd game in four days. This situation is 34-10 ATS (77.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (527) Utah Jazz

This is a play on the CAROLINA PANTHERS for our NFL Sunday Enforcer. Another surprise in the first half of the season in San Francisco which is one of just two undefeated teams in the league. The 49ers are coming off a 9-0 win at Washington where the weather played a role in the outcome of that although it likely would have resulted in a bigger win had the weather been good. A win over the Rams was nice but the other five wins came against teams a combined 7-19 and overall, the schedule is ranked No 27 in the league. The defense has allowed only 10 points over the last three games but should get tested here. Carolina is ranked No. 5 in scoring offense in the NFL and has won four straight games, averaging 31.3 ppg over that stretch. The Panthers have not been as good defensively as in years past but it is still a strong unit. When above .500, Carolina 7-1 ATS coming off a bye and coming off back-to-back wins. Here, we play against home favorites of 3.5 to 10 points averaging 370 or more ypg going up against teams allowing between 335 and 370 ypg. This situation is 64-29 ATS (68.8 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 10* (269) Carolina Panthers

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA EAGLES for our NFL Non-Conference Game of the Year. The surprise of the first half in the NFL has to include Buffalo which is off to a 5-1 start thanks to a strong defensive presence. The Bills are third in the NFL in total defense and scoring defense but have not played any team with a strong offense and that even includes New England which is a middle of the pack offense. This is a tough spot this week coming off a hard fought divisional win and going up a team that is desperate for a win to turn its season around. Buffalo is 14-28 ATS in its last 42 games coming off a home win against a division rival. The Eagles were embarrassed on national TV last Sunday night and nobody wants a part of this team at the betting window right now. Philadelphia has dropped two straight games and sits a game behind Dallas in the NFC East. The season is far from lost and this is their fifth road game of the season including this being their third straight. Philadelphia is 8-1 ATS in its last nine games when playing against a l team with a winning percentage of .750 or better. 10* (261) Philadelphia Eagles

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CHARGERS for our NFL Sunday Star Attraction. It was a crazy ending in Tennessee as the Chargers took the lead only to have review move the all back to the one-yard line. Los Angeles failed to punch it in on two chances, the second resulting in a Melvin Gordon fumble. It was the third straight loss for the Chargers as they fell to 2-5 with all five losses coming by one possession. They have outgained their opponent in three of those losses and almost every game is a must at this point. They are 7-0 ATS in their last seven road games after one or more consecutive ATS losses. Chicago is a mess as well as it has dropped two straight games with a bye in-between. The Bears have been outgained in four of their last five games and the defense has taken a hit with the loss of defensive tackle Akiem Hicks. The offense is in worse shape as it is fourth to last in total offense in the NFL. Here, we play on road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points with a winning percentage between .250 and .400 off a road loss. This situation is 114-67 ATS (63 percent) since 1983. 9* (255) Los Angeles Chargers

This is a play on the DENVER BRONCOS for our NFL Sunday Ultimate Underdog. This can be considered a hold your nose play after the performance Denver gave us last Thursday night. The Broncos had won two straight games prior to that but mustered just 205 total yards and allowed nine sacks, not exactly what you want against a struggling defense. Three of their five losses have by just one possession and they have outgained four of their seven opponents. Denver is outgaining opponents by 17.5 ypg which is pretty good for a team that sits 2-5. The Broncos are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games after accumulating less than 150 yards passing in their previous game. Indianapolis has won two straight games and is in a prime letdown spot here as the wins came in Kansas City and at home against division rival Houston last Sunday. Jacoby Brissett has been great in taking over for Andrew Luck and is coming off his best game of the season where he threw for 326 yards and four touchdowns. But now he faces a Denver defense that is ranked fourth in total defense eighth in scoring defense. The Colts are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games against teams with a losing record. 9* (271) Denver Broncos

This is a play on the WASHINGTON ST. COUGARS for our Pac 12 Game of the Year. Washington St. bounced back from three straight losses with a resounding win over Colorado last week to improve to 4-3 on the season. The Cougars were likely hungover from that UCLA loss in their games against Utah and Arizona St. but their season will be completely turned around here with a win here which is not as unlikely as it may seem based off this line. Washington St. is 7-0 ATS when the total is between 63.5 and 70 over the last three seasons. Oregon has won six straight games after suffering a season opening loss against Auburn and has taken control of the Pac 12 North with a two-game lead over Oregon St. This has not been a good matchup for the Ducks as they have lost four straight in this series while going 0-9 ATS in the last nine meetings. Going back, the Ducks are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS win. Here, we play on teams averaging 4.8 or more ypc going up against teams averaging between 4.3 and 4.8 ypc, after gaining 6.0 or more ypc last game. This situation is 92-45 ATS (67.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (153) Washington St. Cougars

This is a play on the TORONTO RAPTORS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Chicago is off to a 1-1 start to the season, both games coming on the road and it was favored in both games showing just how bad the first two opponents were. The Bulls are projected to win around 33 games this season so expectations are certainly low and while this is their home opener, this is not an ideal spot. Going back to last season, the Bulls are 6-22 ATS in their last 28 home games and their roster is not much different. Toronto is also off to a 1-1 start as it defeated New Orleans in overtime to open the season and lost in Boston last night. Despite the loss of Kawhi Leonard, this is still a solid roster with Kyle Lowry, Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam leading the way, the latter averaging 33.5 ppg. This does not even take into account Marc Gasol who has gotten off to a bad start after going 0-8 from the floor last night. The Raptors won all four games last season against Chicago and has won nine straight in this series. Going back to last season, the Raptors are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games playing with no rest. 10* (561) Toronto Raptors

This is a play on the TULSA GOLDEN HURRICANE as part of our CFB Saturday Trifecta. Tulsa put in a great effort last weekend against Cincinnati as it lost by 11 points but actually outgained the Bearcats by 60 total yards. The Golden Hurricane were done in by five turnovers as it was a rough day for quarterback Zach Smith, who lost three fumbles and threw two interceptions, one in the end zone. The Golden Hurricane are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games after scoring less than 20 points in their previous game. Memphis bounced back from its first loss of the season with a thumping of Tulane last week. The Tigers are now 6-1 on the season and while they are 2-1 on the road, one win came against a bad South Alabama team and the other came against UL-Monroe in a game where they were outgained by 40 total yards. Tulsa uses a 3-3-5 scheme that has three defensive linemen, three linebackers and five defensive backs and it is a look Memphis has yet to see this season. Additionally, this is a Memphis team that might be looking ahead to SMU next week. Memphis is 15-34 ATS in its last 49 games after scoring 42 points or more last game. 9* (118) Tulsa Golden Hurricane

This is a play on the TEMPLE OWLS as part of our CFB Saturday Trifecta. Following an upset win over Memphis two weeks ago, Temple put up a clunker last week in a 45-21 loss at undefeated SMU last week. We played on the Owls in that Memphis game and now they are getting a touchdown more here against a team that is only slightly better than the Tigers. Temple is a perfect 4-0 at home and the Owls are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following an ATS loss. Central Florida is just 2-2 over its last four games and it has failed to cover any of those. This is due to the Knights being overvalued still from the previous two seasons especially last year where they covered all but three regular season games. They have yet to defeat a team with a winning record and going back, the Knights are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games after scoring more than 40 points in their previous game. Here, we play on home underdogs in the second half of the season coming off a double-digit loss while allowing 30 or fewer ppg, a bowl team from last season that won eight or fewer games going up against an opponent of an ATS loss. This situation is 19-2 ATS (85.7 percent) since 1992. 9* (124) Temple Owls

This is a play on the EDMONTON ESKIMOS for our CFL Saturday Enforcer. Edmonton clinched a playoff berth as the crossover team in Week 18 and will head to the post-season for the fifth time in six seasons. The Eskimos have compiled a 5-3 record at The Brick Field at Commonwealth Stadium this season, including a 19-6 win over BC when the team last played in Week 18. They got a big boost to the lineup, as starting quarterback Trevor Harris was activated from the six-game injured list on Monday. Harris had completed 71.7 percent of his passes for 3,706 yards and 15 touchdowns against four interceptions through 12 games prior to the injury. Coming off their bye week, the Eskimos are well rested which is a big edge this late into the season. Saskatchewan does have a lot to play for as it still has a chance to claim the top spot in the West Division but the environment tonight will not make it easy. While going 7-1 at home, the Roughriders are just 4-4 on the road. Here, we play against teams with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 where the line is +3 to -3 after two or more consecutive wins against the spread in the second half of the season. This situation is 30-9 ATS (76.9 percent) since 1996. 10* (696) Edmonton Eskimos

This is a play on the DUKE BLUE DEVILS as part of our CFB Saturday Trifecta. Duke fell to 4-3 on the season following a blowout loss at Virginia last week and also fell to 2-2 on the road. Whether or not the Blue Devils were looking ahead to their rival this week, they will be out to rebound in a big way. They lost to Pittsburgh at home three games back and bounced back with a big win over Georgia Tech. While Georgia Tech is garbage, the Blue Devils are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following an ATS loss. North Carolina is also coming off a loss, a 43-41 six-overtime loss against Virginia Tech and that can really take its toll next time out as teams losing in overtime struggle in their next game. The Tar Heels have now lost four of their last five games after a 2-0 start which came by a combined seven points. Overall, six of their seven games have been decided by six points or less. North Carolina is 12-33 ATS in its last 35 games after scoring 31 points or more in two straight games. Duke has won three straight games in this series Here, we play on road underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 after having won four or five out of their last six games on the season. This situation is 28-6 ATS (82.4 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (159) Duke Blue Devils
