Sports Picks & Predictions

This is a play on the TEMPLE OWLS for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. We played on Temple earlier this week but failed to make the cover as a home underdog against Houston which was its second straight loss but the Owls are in prime position today. The Owls are 4-2 at home with the two losses coming against Missouri and Miami. Temple has been one of the top teams in the country defensively this season and currently ranks second in the AAC and ranks 22nd nationally in field goal percentage defense at 38.1 percent. Tulane, under the direction of new coach Ron Hunter, has already doubled its win total from the 2018-19 campaign and snapped a 20-game AAC regular season losing streak when it defeated Cincinnati, 76-71 a week ago. The Green Wave followed that up with a loss at Connecticut and we expect a regression here. 10* (616)Temple Owls

This is a play on the PHOENIX SUNS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Orlando has won two straight games but both of those were at home where it has been pretty solid. The Magic, who fell as much as five games under .500 last month, have gone 7-6 since Nikola Vucevic's return and now reside in second place in the Southeast, just two games under .500. They are just 5-12 on the road and the Magic are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games as a road underdog. Phoenix has lost two straight games, both coming at home, as 6.5-point favorites and now the Suns are catching a reasonable number. This came after a four-game cover streak and Phoenix will be out to snap a 1-7 run at home. The Suns are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a double-digit loss at home. 10* (524) Phoenix Suns

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Maryland has won three straight games including a pair of impressive wins over Indiana and Ohio St. by double-digits. Those games were both at home however and the Terrapins are 0-2 this season in true road games, losing at Penn St. and Seton Hall. They are 3-2 in the conference which is good for second place but has a tough spot here. The Terrapins are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a road favorite. Iowa was on a four-game winning streak but hit the road for a two-game trip and dropped both games at Penn St. and Nebraska. It has been a rough travel schedule as the Hawkeyes have played eight of 10 games away from Iowa City since Thanksgiving where they have traveled more than 8,500 miles and played in three different time zones. Iowa is 7-1 at home including impressive wins over Minnesota and Cincinnati. The Hawkeyes are 6-0 ATS in their last six games following an ATS loss. 10* (838) Iowa Hawkeyes

This is a play on the UTSA ROADRUNNER for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Louisiana Tech had an odd schedule to open C-USA action as its first two games came against Southern Mississippi and easily won both of those. It was to the Bulldogs advantage considering the Golden Eagles are pegged as one of the worst teams in the conference. They have now won five straight games and they now hit the road where they are just 3-3 compared to a perfect 8-0 at home. Texas-San Antonio is off to a disappointing 0-2 start in the conference as expectations are high for the Roadrunners after finishing in second place last season and retuning four starters. One of those is the preseason C-USA Player of the Year Jhivvan Jackson who is averaging 25.3 ppg, second most in the country. UTSA was on a 5-1 run prior to the two losses so heading back home is just what it needs. 10* (604) Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners

This is a play on the BOISE ST. BRONCOS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Boise St. fell to 2-2 in the MWC with a 17-point loss against Nevada on Saturday. The Broncos had won four straight games prior to that defeat which was their fourth away from home. They are 8-2 at home which is no fluke as Boise St. has never had a losing home record since ExtraMile Arena opened in 1982. Boise St. is committing 12.0 tpg, second fewest in the Mountain West Conference. UNLV is 8-8 on the season with a 3-0 mark in Mountain West play, including a win against defending-champion and preseason-favorite Utah St. as a 6.5-point home underdog. The Rebels are coming off a six-game homestand and this will be their first road game in over a month where they are 1-3, the lone win coming Fresno St. which is 5-10 on the season. 10* (836) Boise St. Broncos

This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Boston is coming off a bad loss last time out as it fell to the 12-24 Wizards by five points on Monday as a 9-point road favorite. The Celtics have been without Kemba Walker for the last three games but is expected to return tonight. Despite the setback, the Celtics still have won eight of their last 10 games and are 14-2 at home. The Celtics are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up loss. San Antonio is coming off a home win over Milwaukee on Tuesday as it won by 22 points as an eight-point underdog. It has been a rough season for the Spurs as that win was just their third over a top ten team and they hit the highway with a 4-11 road record. The Spurs are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up win. 10* (570) Boston Celtics

This is a play on the SACRAMENTO KINGS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. This is already the fourth meeting between Sacramento and Phoenix this season with the Suns taking two of the first three games. This line is too big as Phoenix was favored by one point in the first meeting here. Sacramento was getting 7.5 points in Denver in its last road game and is getting a bucket less against Phoenix and that does not add up. Additionally, the Kings were getting five in Indiana just over two weeks ago and Indiana is 15-4 at home while the Suns are just 7-13 on their home floor. Phoenix has lost 10 of its last 13 games and the Suns are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite. Meanwhile, the Kings are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with a home winning percentage of less than .400. 10* (559) Sacramento Kings

This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Toledo has lost four straight games including its conference opener at Ball St. on Friday. Additionally, the Rockets have failed to cover six straight games but this is the most points they are catching over this stretch. Toledo was 5-1 last season in games decided by five points or less but is 1-3 this year with a pair of two-point defeats at Valpo and Notre Dame and a four-point setback at Ball St. The Golden Flashes opened their season with an 18-point win at Bowling Green as a bucket underdog. Kent St. is 7-0 at home but two of those wins came against non-Division I teams, were favored by double-digits in four games and the best win came against Purdue Fort Wayne. The Golden Flashes lead the MAC in field goal percentage at 45.6 percent but will be facing a Toledo defense that has held every opponent to 45 percent or less. 10* (609) Toledo Rockets

This is a play on the GEORGIA SOUTHERN EAGLES for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Little Rock was picked to finish dead last in the Sun Belt Conference after finishing in a tie for last place last season. Yet the Trojans are off to a 4-0 start, the only undefeated team in the conference but that record is a bit deceiving. All four wins have come down to the final minute and all four coming by four points or less so while they have been clutch, the record could be worse. Georgia Southern is off to a 3-1 start in the conference as the Eagles were picked to contend for first place in the SBC. The Eagles are very efficient on offense and swarm the ball on defense as they are ranked 29th in the country in steals (9.1 spg), 17th in turnovers forced (18.2 tpg) and sixth in turnover margin (+5.9). The Eagles are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up loss. 10* (855) Georgia Southern Eagles

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Sixers will be looking to snap a season-high four-game losing streak when they return home to face the Thunder on Monday. All four losses came on the road however and they bring in a 16-2 home record as they try and ease their way back up the Eastern Conference standings where they are currently sitting in fifth place. Philadelphia is 3-0-1 ATS in its last four home games against teams with a losing road record. Oklahoma City meanwhile has won and covered five straight games but it is still sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference. The Thunder are still a game under .500 on the road despite winning four in a row albeit three against losing teams. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points, off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 53-22 ATS (70.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (540) Philadelphia 76ers

This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES as part of our CBB Sunday Trifecta. Washington is coming off a loss against UCLA on Thursday which was its second straight loss overall, the other being in the championship of the Diamond Head Classic. It was just the second home loss for the Huskies which played a great game against No. 1 Gonzaga but eventually lost by seven points. The Huskies are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite. USC won its sixth straight game with a nine-point win at Washington St. and this will be the biggest road test of the young season after a 2-1 start on the highway. The Trojans are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games as a road underdog. 10* (848) Washington Huskies

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Miami heads back home following a 20-point loss in Orlando on Friday which came after a solid win over Toronto the night prior. The Heat are an average 9-9 on the road but are an NBA best 16-1 at home so this is a prime situation as they look to improve to 10-0 this season following a loss. The Heat are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Portland is having a very disappointing season at 15-21 but it did snap a five-game losing streak with a win over the Knicks on Friday although that is not saying much. The Blazers are just 7-12 on the road and they are 0-5 ATS in their last five games against teams with a winning straight up record. 10* (526) Miami Heat

This is a play on the DETROIT PISTONS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Detroit has lost three straight games to open this six-game roadtrip nut the first three came against the Spurs, Jazz and Clippers. The Pistons have lost five straight games on the road but all five have come against current playoff positioned teams. The Pistons are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games as a road favorite. While Blake Griffin remains out, the Warriors are dealing with their own issue as D'Angelo Russell is also still not going to suit up. Golden St. has lost three straight games as well following a four-game winning streak. The Warriors are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Here, we play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after failing to cover two of their last three games against the spread, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .250 and .400. This situation is 104-58 ATS (64.2 percent) since 1996. 10* (519) Detroit Pistons

This is a play on the HOFSTRA PRIDE for our CAA Game of the Year. We played against Hofstra on Thursday as got crushed at home against William & Mary and that was its first home loss of the season since November 6. Now the Pride have a chance to feast on the worst team in the CAA with value on top of it. The Pride are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss. Elon has lost four straight games but it has been competitive in the last three as it has covered all of those games. The Phoenix are walking into a bad place on Saturday however and they do not have the depth to compete here with their seven-man rotation. The Phoenix are 8-22 ATS in their last 30 games following an ATS win. 10* (686) Hofstra Pride

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. The Sixers have lost three straight games after the Pacers ran them off the court on Tuesday, an 18-point loss that saddled Philadelphia with its second three-game skid in just over two weeks. Philadelphia fell to 7-11 on the road and it took that last loss against Indiana pretty hard to a full effort will be in play tonight. The Sixers were without Joel Embiid against the Pacers but he returns to action tonight and it should be noted that their seven wins against top ten teams are tied for second most in the NBA. The Sixers are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Houston defeated Denver last time out and the Rockets improved to 12-+4 at home. The Houston pace is what makes the Rockets flashy but they have been pretty average on both ends as they are ranked No. 17 in offensive shooting and No. 19 in defensive shooting. The Rockets are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points in non-conference games, off three or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 36-9 ATS (80 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (569) Philadelphia 76ers

This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS as part of our CBB Friday Trifecta. We played on Toledo last Saturday and it fell down early and could not recover. That was the third straight loss for the Rockets but this game will have their attention with it being the conference opener. Toledo is predicted to win the MAC West and getting off to a good start is imperative especially against a fellow MAC West opponent. The Rockets have lost three straight games during a season for the first time in 73 games. This is a team that was dominating as they have six double-digit wins this season which gives them 21 victories of 10 points or more since the start of the 2018-19 season. Toledo has held all of its opponents to a 45 percent shooting or less, including six under 40 percent. The Rockets are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog. After losing the first two games of the Diamond Head Classic, Ball St. was able to win the consolation game against Portland. The Cardinals head home where they are just 3-3 on the season with those victories coming against Defiance, Howard and Indiana-Purdue. The Cardinals are 0-8 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. 10* (841) Toledo Rockets

This is a play on the LOYOLA MARYMOUNT LIONS as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Loyola Marymount has lost three of four games while failing to cover any of its last five games and that is keeping this number down on this contrarian play. The Lions are coming off a 22-win season a year ago, their most wins since 1989-90, and they welcomed back three starters from the CBI Semifinal team. Loyola Marymount is paced by Eli Scott who has three double-doubles this season, including the WCC's only triple-double. The Toreros are winners of four of their last five games, with the only loss in that stretch being a neutral site three-point defeat to Stanford. San Diego is still just 7-8 overall and are in rebuilding mode. It lost four senior starters who supplied 73 percent of the scoring from last year and it is showing as San Diego ranks 269th in the country in scoring (67.7 ppg) and that is after hanging 93 on Division III Whittier. San Diego's 220 turnovers this season are the most of WCC schools this season and rank 328 nationally among Division I programs. In the WCC, the Toreros are 10th in shooting percentage (42.9) and a distant 10th in three-point shooting (30.9 percent). The next worst shooting team from deep, Pepperdine, hits 35.7 percent behind the arc. 10* (684) Loyola Marymount Lions

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Miami is sitting in third place in the Eastern Conference with a 24-9 record as it had a five-game winning streak snapped in its most recent game. The Heat should be motivated after an embarrassing 123-105 loss at the lowly Wizards on Monday. The Heat allowed a season-high 42 points in the second quarter. Miami head home with a 15-1 record, the best in the NBA, with the only loss coming against the Lakers by just three points. The Heat are 8-0 this season following a loss, covering seven of those games. We won with Toronto on Tuesday as it defeated the Cavaliers by 20 points to improve to 14-5 at home but have struggled on the road with a 2-4 record against winning teams. This season, with expectations lowered, the Raptors have been solid, sitting in fourth place in the Eastern Conference and just 1.5 games behind the Heat. The Raptors remain banged up as Pascal Siakam, the reigning NBA Most Improved Player, leads Toronto in scoring (25.1 ppg) and is tied for the top spot in rebounds (8.0 rpg). His absence, and that of Marc Gasol (6.6 rpg) and Norman Powell (14.4 ppg) is a big factor in this matchup. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off an upset loss as a favorite of 10 points or more, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 56-25 ATS (69.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (550) Miami Heat

This is a play on the CINCINNATI BEARCATS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Cincinnati is coming off a loss against Iowa in Chicago to make it three losses over its last four games but the lone win was an impressive one against Tennessee. The Bearcats are 7-1 at home with the only defeat coming against a pretty solid Colgate team although that was a game they never should have lost. This is a tough place for any opponent to win as the Bearcats are 54-4 at home since the start of the 2016-17 season, including a 25-2 mark against AAC teams. Additionally, the Bearcats are 25-4 in conference openers since 1990 (start of the Bob Huggins coaching era), including a 5-1 mark in AAC lid lifters. Connecticut enters league play having won three in a row and six of its last seven. There are not many high expectations for the Huskies as they have won 16 games or less in each of the last three seasons and are pegged to finish sixth in the AAC. The Huskies are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win of more than 20 points while going 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games following two straight up wins of more than 20 points. 10* (830) Cincinnati Bearcats

This is a play on the TORONTO RAPTORS for our NBA Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. We are catching some good value with Toronto. The Raptors are coming off a loss at home against Oklahoma City on Sunday which was just their fifth home loss of the season. That can be chalked up to a letdown from the previous night when they dismantled Boston on the road, a revenge game from their previous contest on Christmas Day where they lost at home by 16 points to the Celtics. The Raptors were limited to eight fastbreak points in the loss to the Thunder and they entered the game averaging an NBA-best 18.8 fastbreak ppg. The Raptors are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games against teams with a losing straight up record. Cleveland is coming off a win at Minnesota, making it four wins over its last five games. All four of the wins came against losing teams and the Cavaliers have just one victory against a team with a winning record and that in their second game of the season. Since then, they are 0-16 against winning teams, losing by an average of 18.1 ppg. the Cavaliers are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points averaging 83 or more shots per game going up against an opponent after two straight games attempting 10 or less free throws than opponent. This situation is 31-11 ATS (73.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (532) Toronto Raptors

This is a play on the PROVIDENCE FRIARS for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. Providence is coming off a much needed win prior to the Christmas break as it rolled over Texas by 22 points. The Friars held the Longhorns to an offensive rebounding percentage of 20.0 (below their season average of 30.5) and an effective field goal percentage of 0.342 (below their season average of 0.528). After a 4-1 start, the Friars went on a 2-5 run so that victory was big heading into conference action and it also snapped a seven-game non-cover run. The Hoyas have won six straight games while covering all of those as well. That is a big reason the line have flipped to Georgetown now favored on the road. Ball control will be a big factor here as the Friars are forcing turnovers while Georgetown has been prone to giving it away. Providence ranks second in the Big East in turnover margin at +3.4 while also second in the conference in steals at 9.8 per game. The Friars averaging 14.1 turnovers per game compared to 17.5 by its opponents. Georgetown is ranked 271st in the nation with a turnover percentage of 20.8 percent, while the Providence defense forces the 25th-most turnovers in the country at 24.6 percent. Here, we play on home teams with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 where the line is +3 to -3 after beating the spread by more than 18 points in their previous game, playing a winning team. This situation is 48-20 ATS (70.6 percent) since 1997. 10* (804) Providence Friars

This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Blazers have lost two straight games although both came against two of the top teams in the Western conference in the Lakers and Jazz. Against Los Angeles, Portland's bench was outscored 72-39 in the beating, while Damian Lillard scored 31 points to post his 11th 30-point effort of the season. Portland has now failed to cover its last four games while falling to just .500 at home. Still, the Blazers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games as a home favorite and while going 0-4-1 ATS against winning teams at home, the Blazers are 6-3-1 ATS at home against losing teams. Phoenix snapped a seven-game losing streak with a win at Sacramento on Saturday. This came after blowing a 12-point lead entering the fourth quarter against Golden St., getting outscored 39-18 in the final period. The Suns haven't defeated Portland since posting a 118-115 overtime win on Nov. 2, 2016, in Phoenix. Phoenix is 1-6 ATS in its last seven games following a straight up win. 10* (522) Portland Trailblazers

This is a play on the DAVIDSON WILDCATS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Davidson has won and covered three straight games as it heads into Vanderbilt for its final non-conference tuneup prior to Atlantic Ten play. The Wildcats have played a tough schedule thus far with some quality losses and while the Commodores are not much of a team, a win over an SEC team can do some good. Davidson defeated Loyola Chicago 59-56 eight days ago in its most recent win and Loyola Chicago defeated Vanderbilt earlier this season 78-70 in Phoenix. Vanderbilt has played no one up to this point and the Commodores are the worst team in the SEC and after having gone 9-23 last season including 0-18 in the conference. So far during non-conference action, they have played the 345th ranked schedule in the country and that is out of 353 teams in Division I. Vanderbilt lost a key contributor in Clevon Brown as he is out with a knee injury which hurts as only three other players are averaging more than 6.7 ppg. Here, we play against home teams as an underdog or pickem after going over the total by 48 or more points total in their last seven games going up against an opponent after going under the total by 48 or more points total in their last ten games. This situation is 36-12 ATS (75 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (749) Davidson Wildcats

This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Houston bounced back from the Christmas debacle against Golden St. with a 10-point win over Brooklyn last night to make it five wins over their last six games. The Rockets remain a half-game ahead of Dallas in the Southwest Division while sitting in third place in the Western Conference. As expected, Russell Westbrook is sitting this game out in the second of a back-to-back but that is creating value. Also adding to that is the fact that New Orleans has won three straight games including a 22-point win over Indiana on Saturday. The Pelicans are still just 5-11 at home with those five wins being the second fewest in the Western conference. The Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games while the Pelicans are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games. Here, we play against underdogs with a winning percentage between .250 and .400 off a home win by 20 points or more, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 73-35 ATS (67.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (503) Houston Rockets

This is a play on the RICHMOND SPIDERS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Richmond is coming off a loss at Radford in its last game a week ago which snapped a five-game winning streak for the Spiders. That was just the second loss of the season for the Spiders, the first coming against Auburn, and they will look to close the non-conference season strong with a win prior to A-10 action stating on Thursday. This team is loaded and deep as they returned all five starters as well as getting Nick Sherod back who missed most of last season with a knee injury after being a starter the previous two seasons. This is probably the deepest team Richmond has had since the team made the NCAA tournament in 2011 with at least 10 players in regular rotation. Alabama has won two straight games and four of its last five, covering all five of those games. That is pushing this number up higher than it should be. Ball control will be a factor here as the Richmond offense has turned the ball over on 16.2 percent of its possessions, the 20th-best mark in the country. Conversely, 21.5 percent of all Alabama possessions have resulted in a turnover which is 291st, nationally. 10* (715) Richmond Spiders

This is a play on the BYU COUGARS for our CBB Saturday Enforcer. BYU defeated Weber St. 91-61 a week ago, its third 30-point win during a current four-game win streak. The Cougars defeated UNLV 83-50 at Vivint Smart Home Arena and Nevada 74-42 at home as well. They are ranked No. 11 in the country in shooting at 49.5 percent while hitting 40.9 percent of shots from long range, good for No. 7 in the nation. This team is loaded as BYU has three players on its roster with 1,000 career points, including two in the top 20 on the BYU career scoring list. Of the four losses, two were against Kansas and San Diego St. while the other two came in overtime on the road. Oral Roberts has won four straight games as well but nowhere near against the same opposition and the Golden Eagles bring in a four-game ATS winning streak and it actually could be eight games but four games were not on the board as those came against non-Division I teams which shows how weak the schedule has been. Here, we play on teams after beating the spread by 30 or more points total in their last five games, team from a second tier division 1-A conference against a team from a mid-major conference. This situation is 82-49 ATS (62.6 percent) since 1997. 10* (660) BYU Cougars

This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. It was an ugly week last week for Toledo which lost both of its games as favorites against what are considered inferior teams. The Rockets were riding a five-game winning streak but have nor dropped four straight against the number which is adding value to this play here. The last two games can be chalked up as an aberration as the Rockets' six double-digit wins this season give them 21 victories of 10 points or more since the start of the 2018-19 season. Bradley is 7-0 inside Carver Arena this season and has won 11 straight home games dating back to last year. Junior forward Elijah Childs leads the Braves with 15.0 ppg and 9.4 rpg but he is out on Saturday as he is dealing with a hand injury and is expected to be out another week. Here, we play on teams after being beaten by the spread by 36 or more points total in their last five games going up against an opponent after going under the total by more than 12 points in two consecutive games. This situation is 53-23 ATS (69.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (621) Toledo Rockets

This is a play on the PHOENIX SUNS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Entering last weekend, Golden St. had the worst record in the NBA but that is no longer the case as the Warriors have won three straight games including an upset win over Houston on Christmas Day. The gameplan was to stop James Harden and let the rest of the Rockets beat them and they did just that as the rest of the team shot 34.1 percent from the floor. That being said, this is not a team that should be trusted on a nightly basis as a full effort was put forth two nights ago in front of a national audience. The Warriors are 9-23-1 ATS in their last 33 home games against teams with a losing road record. Phoenix has not played since Monday when it lost to Denver by just a bucket at home which extended its losing streak to seven games. The last five have come against teams currently in playoff positions with the other two coming against teams within two games of a playoff spot. This is a team they should take care of and going back, the Suns are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games against teams with a losing home record. Here, we play on road teams with a winning percentage between .250 and .400 where the line is +3 to -3 after five or more consecutive losses, playing a team with a losing record. This situation is 50-22 ATS (69.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (555) Phoenix Suns

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Dallas held its own without Luka Doncic after missing four games following an ankle injury two minutes into the Miami game back on December 14. The Mavericks went 2-2 over that stretch with all four games coming against the top four teams from the Eastern Conference and three of those were on the road. Doncic is back tonight and Dallas is back home prior to a three-game roadtrip to close out December. We have to face facts and come to the conclusion San Antonio is no longer the San Antonio of old. The Spurs are coming off a win at Memphis on Monday but they are just 1217 on the season and they have gone an abysmal 1-10 ATS this season following their first 11 wins. They have yet to win as road underdogs, going 0-7 while covering just one of those games. Here, we play on home favorites after leading their last three games by five or more points at the half going up against an opponent after a combined score of 235 points or more. This situation is 46-17 ATS (73 percent) since 1996. 10* (540) Dallas Mavericks

This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Washington and Houston are coming off blowout wins in the first two rounds of the Diamond Head Classic and we are catching a great line with the Huskies. They defeated Ball St. by 21 points and then took out host Hawaii by 11 points on Monday. They are led by their trio of former McDonald's All-Americans and while they are young, they are extremely talented. Houston is off to a solid 9-3 start following wins against Portland and Georgia Tech. They made a trip to the Sweet 16 last season and finished 33-4 overall but they had to replace four starters and have not defeated anyone of note this season. Houston is a great rebounding team but this will be the biggest test of the season against a tall and athletic Washington team. The Huskies are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite. 10* (828) Washington Huskies

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Wednesday Star Attraction. This is a revenge game for the Lakers which lost the season opener to the Clippers by 10 points and with all of the talk about the Clippers taking over the Los Angeles brand, the Lakers will be highly motivated here. On top of that, they come into tonight riding a three-game losing streak. LeBron James missed a 128-104 loss to the visiting Nuggets on Sunday because of a muscle strain near his rib cage. The defeat was the most one-sided of the season for the Lakers but he is listed as probable as is Anthony Davis. The Clippers lost to Oklahoma City last time out and have lost two of three and three of their last five. Here, we play on home teams revenging a road loss of 10 points or more, off an upset loss by 15 points or more as a home favorite. This situation is 57-26 ATS (68.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (530) Los Angeles Lakers

This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Washington and Hawaii are coming off wins in the first round of the Diamond Head Classic but the Huskies looked a lot more impressive. They defeated Ball St. 21 points but it was the way they did it early on that was special. The Cardinals opened the game making four of their first six three-pointers and head coach Mike Hopkins, who employs the 2-3 zone from his days as an assistant at Syracuse, decided to switch to man and Washington was able to pull away showing that this team has the ability to change it up when needed. They are led by their trio of former McDonald's All-Americans and while they are young, they are extremely talented. Hawaii defeated an average UTEP team by four points and while it is playing on its home floor, the Warriors are severely outmanned in this matchup. The only two games they have played against upper tier talent, they lost to Illinois and Oregon by 13 and 25 points respectively. Here, we play on neutral court teams as a favorite or pickem from a major Division 1 conference going up against a team from a mid-major Division 1 conference, playing their 2nd road game in 3 days. This situation is 43-16 ATS (72.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (815) Washington Huskies

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT as part of our NBA Monday Trifecta. Utah has turned the corner with wins in its last five games but it is not a very impressive 5-0 run as all of those wins came against teams with a losing record. The Jazz have not beaten a team with a winning record since November 12th, a win over Brooklyn and that was at home. They are 0-6 on the road against teams with a winning record, losing those games by an average of 11.7 ppg. The Jazz are 0-5 ATS in their last five games following an ATS win. Miami has won two straight games following a loss at Memphis and the Heat remain tied for tied place in the Eastern Conference as the top four teams all have current multiple winning streaks. Miami is 12-1 at home with the lone loss coming against the Lakers by just three points. The Heat are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games as a favorite. 10* (512) Miami Heat

This is a play on the SOUTH DAKOTA COYOTES for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. After getting drubbed by Kansas by 41 points, Kansas City returned home and defeated MAC favorite Toledo by 15 points as a seven-point underdog. The Rockets shot just 18 percent from long range while committing 16 turnovers and while you can chalk it up to a great defensive performance from the Kangaroos, that was not the case as this defense is not good as they are ranked No. 240 in shooting defense and now face a very efficient offense looking to rebound. South Dakota, a contender to win the Summit League, is coming off a bad loss against Northern Colorado as it got outscored by 17 points in the second half. Northern Colorado buried seven of its 10 three-pointers in the second half while South Dakota, one of the best three-point shooting teams in the country, was held without a triple in eight attempts. This is the final non-conference game for the Coyotes and they will be not only looking to bounce back from Friday, but also get some revenge from a two-point loss in this facility a year ago. The Kangaroos are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games against teams with a winning home record while the Coyotes are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games following a double-digit loss at home. 10* (782) South Dakota Coyotes

This is a play on the TEXAS A&M AGGIES for our CBB Game of the Week. Oregon St. is off to a 9-1 start as it has won seven straight games following its lone loss against Oklahoma. This includes a 3-0 record on the road but all three wins were as double-digit favorites so the Beavers take a big step up in competition here even though the Aggies are not expected to do a whole lot in the SEC. They have not been favored on the road against a major conference team by this many points since 2012 and there really is no reason for it to happen now. Texas A&M snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Texas A&M-CC but it was close with another non-cover which put the Aggies at 1-8 on the season against the number. These are the streaks we love to go against especially with a veteran team that returns a ton of talent as five of the six top scorers are back from last season and this is a great opportunity to build off that win. Home losses against Gonzaga and Temple were expected but this is one they should not let get away. 10* (708) Texas A&M Aggies

This is a play on the VCU RAMS for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. VCU is off to a 9-2 start with the two losses coming against Purdue and Tennessee by three points. What makes this game value wise for the Rams is that they have dropped their last six games against the number including those aforementioned games by just one point each and they have been favored in all of the other games. Wichita St. has won and covered three straight games including a pair of impressive wins against Oklahoma and Oklahoma St. and that is also playing into this line. While they are 9-1, the Shockers have played the No. 248 ranked schedule which includes those two previous wins mentioned. VCU rolled in this meeting last season and seven of the top eight scorers are back so it again has the edge on the floor and yet is getting a great number. 10* (601) VCU Rams

This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Memphis had reason to celebrate with four wins in five games before letting a 24-point lead in the third quarter go by the boards in a 126-122 loss to Oklahoma City on Wednesday. The Grizzlies had a two-game winning streak snapped with that loss and also put a halt to a 4-1 run, its best stretch of the season. The Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games against teams with a losing home record. The Cavaliers are coming off a win at home against Charlotte by a bucket but it was a game that never should have been that close as they never trailed and at one point had a 24-point lead. That was just the fourth home win of the season The Cleveland offense is putrid as it is ranked No. 25 or worse in scoring, shooting and three-point shooting. The Cavaliers are 4-14 ATS in their last 18 games overall. Here, we play against home underdogs outscored by their opponents by nine or more ppg going up against an opponent after allowing 100 points or more five straight games. This situation is 54-24 ATS (69.2 percent) since 1996. 10* (541) Memphis Grizzlies

This is a play on the GEORGIA BULLDOGS for our CBB Friday Supreme Annihilator. We played against Georgia last Saturday as it got hammered at Arizona St. A big reason for that was because of the scheduling as Georgia had won two straight games but those came against Chaminade and North Carolina Central in Hawaii and then it traveled to Arizona St. for its first true road game of the season. The Bulldogs are back home where they are 5-0 and their six wins overall are already more than half of what they had all of last season. It has been an overhaul for head coach Tom Cream, now in his second year, but he has the best player on the floor in guard Anthony Edwards who is the highest rated recruit ever to come to Georgia. The Bulldogs are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. SMU is also coming off a loss, its first of the season, as it fell at home against Georgetown by 17 points. This will be the biggest test to date for the Mustangs which are picked to finish just sixth in the AAC following a 15-win season last year. The Mustangs are 4-10-2 ATS in their last 16 games following a double-digit loss at home. 10* (844) Georgia Bulldogs

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. Any information on Anthony Davis has not been released as of Thursday late morning as he might be sitting his second straight game. Both Los Angeles and Milwaukee will be out to bounce back from big winning streaks. The Lakers will conclude a five-game road swing that saw their 14-game winning streak away from home end Tuesday in a 105-102 loss to the Pacers. Meanwhile, the Bucks had their 18-game winning streak snapped when they were stopped by the Mavericks 120-116 on Monday. Milwaukee is 13-2 at home and the only other home loss came way back on October 26 in an overtime loss against Miami. The Bucks have lost consecutive games in the regular season just once since Mike Budenholzer took over as head coach entering the 2018-19 season, going 24-1 over that span. The Lakers have a top-five offense but they aren't nearly as potent from three-point range as they're more about interior offense. That actually fits the Bucks' strengths defensively. The Bucks allow 12.9 field goals made per game inside the restricted area and only 54.5 percent in that zone, both league-wide lows. Here, we play on favorites with a winning percentage of .750 or better off an upset loss as a favorite of 10 points or more, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 32-9 ATS (78 percent) since 1996. 10* (534) Milwaukee Bucks

This is a play on the COASTAL CAROLINA CHANTICLEERS as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Coastal Carolina has won four straight games, covering the last three, as it heads into Sun Belt Conference action looking to get off to a great start. The Chanticleers are contenders this season after a .500 finish last year, both overall and in the conference. Of the four losses on the season, two came against Mississippi St. and Baylor while the other two came against a single point. The Chanticleers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Troy is coming off an overtime loss at Chattanooga which snapped a three-game winning streak and the Trojans are now on a 4-0 ATS roll. They are currently ranked as the worst team in the Sun Belt despite playing the third easiest schedule as two of their four wins have come against non-Division I teams. Here, we play against home teams as an underdog or pickem averaging 62 or more shots per game going up against an opponent after a game where they made 55 percent of their shots or better. This situation is 42-15 ATS (73.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (713) Coastal Carolina Chanticleers

This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Star Attraction. Dallas is coming off a monumental win at Milwaukee on Monday as it defeated the Bucks as a 14.5-point underdog while playing without Luka Doncic which snapped the Bucks 18-game winning streak. This presents a significant letdown for the Mavericks which are a pedestrian 8-6 at home compared to 10-2 on the road. Dallas has been a home underdog only once this season which resulted in a 15-point loss to the Clippers. The Celtics are looking to bounce back after defeats to the Pacers and Sixers on consecutive nights last week. Boston has had five full days off to correct the slide after playing last Thursday. The time off is significant as their five primary player Kemba Walker, Marcus Smart, Gordon Hayward, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have taken the floor together just five times this season but all are finally healthy. The Celtics are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play on all teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are outscoring their opponents by six or more ppg, after allowing 105 points or more in three straight games. This situation is 30-5 ATS (85.7 percent) since 1996 including going 21-1 ATS over the last three seasons. 10* (525) Boston Celtics

This is a play on the EAST TENNESSEE ST. BUCCANEERS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Based on name recognition, this is a mismatch especially with what LSU accomplished last season. And that is being factored into this line. The Tigers went 28-7 last season including a 16-2 record in the SEC and they managed to make a run into the Sweet 16 before eventually getting crushed by Michigan St. They are off to a 7-2 start including a 6-0 record at home but that includes so quality wins. A game against East Tennessee St. seems like it should be a layup but that is far from the case. The Buccaneers are 9-2 following a 24-10 record last season and this is arguably the best team head coach Steve Forbes has had in his five years at the school. They bring back all five starters and East Tennessee St. has two of the best players in the Southern Conference in Jeromy Rodriguez and Bo Hodges, the former being tabbed as the preseason Player of the Year. The Buccaneers have been underdogs only once this season and that was at Kansas, a game in which they held their own and covered. 10* (657) East Tennessee St. Buccaneers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is a play on the 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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
