20-7-2 YTD

Troy -100Vs. Florida Intl.

Troy has been playing great basketball of late. hey are 5-0 in their last five and 4-1 ATS. They have averaged 76.3 point per game on the road, and playing a Florida Intl. team who struggles at times to score. Look for Troy to pull away at the end of this game and cover the 3 points.

St. Bonaventure +3.5 At. George Washington

This game looks more like a pick then St. Bonaventure getting points. They are 8-1 ATS on the road this year, and overall a better team then GW. St. Bonaventure can easily win here, but let's place it safe and take the points.

Fresno St. -4 Vs. Hawaii

Hawaii is a team that struggles away from their home floor. They are 1-5 on the road, and only average 57 points. Look for this to be a back and forth game, but Fresno St. pulls away midway throught the second half.

18-7-2 YTD

Wyoming +7 Vs. UNLV

Earlier this year Wyoming lost to UNLV 66-83 in UNLV. But, Wyoming is a much better team on their home court. They come into this matchup 11-1 at home and 5-2 ATS. With Wyoming averaging 83.6 points per game at home, this line is a little to high. Take Wyoming plus the 7.

UCDavis pick At. CalPolySlo

It's confusing to me here why this game is a pick. UCDavis is a better team then the 6-16 Cal Poly-Sol. Maybe, because they are on the road? Well, UCDavis is 9-3 ATS on the road and Cal is 2-6 ATS at home. Also, Cal is allowing their opponents to score 5 more points per game when they're at home. I like UCDavis in a pick here.

13-7-2 YTD

Rhode Island -2.5 At. Massachusetts

Rhode Island (18-8) will try to continue their climb in the Atlantic 10 tonight against Massachusetts (9-14). Rhodes Island comes into tonight's game with a 7-7 record on the road, but averaging a healthy 79 points. at only -2.5 look for Rhode Island to push the tempo and get a large lead midway through the second half.

Bowling Green +9 At. Buffalo

This line seems to high here. These teams are pretty equal and play the same style of basketball. On the road Bowling green averages 63.2 point and allows 64.8 point, a -1.6 difference. Look for this game to be close near the end. Buffalo should pull away for the Win, but Bowling Green will cover in the process.

Akron -3.5
Vs. Miami Ohio

Miami Ohio has a 1 game advantage on Akron in the Mid-American Conference. Akron at home has averaged 14 more point then their opponents, and look for that trend to continue. Take Akron -3.5, as this victory should come with some ease.

Miami +1 At. Florida 1st Half

Miami thrives on their defense with the zone. Look for Miami to bottle up Florida's offense early and make them play a half court game. Miami should have a slight lead heading into half tonight.

Georgetown -5.5 Vs. SFlorida

Georgetown has been a disappointment this year, but they do play in the big east. We all know what the big east is like this year. Although, Georgetown is 10-3 at home and playing a much weaker conference team in SFlorida. Look for Georgetown to take out some of their frustration and come out with an easy victory.

10-5-2 YTD

Kent St. -6.5 Vs. Ohio

Kent St. is playing great ball at home this year. They average 14 more points then their opposition. They are 9-3 at home this year and should improve to 10-3 while covering.

Bradley -7.5 Vs. Missouri St.

The line of -7.5 seems to low here. Missouri St. is only 1-9 on the road this year, and has been struggling as of late. On average they allow the opponent to score 10 more points per game and shoot 48%. Look for Bradley to win by double digits here.

East Carolina +8.5 At. SMississippi


Smississippi is coming into this game losing their last 5. At home this year SMississippi is a lousy 2-6 ATS, while E Carolina is 4-4 ATS on the road. This should be a tight ball game so look for East Carolina to cover.

BYU -6 Vs. New Mexico

Both these teams come into tonight's game at 4-1 in their last 5. Both teams have been playing well of late, but BYU has been playing better. BYU outscores their opponents by an average of 17 points at home, so look for this trend to continue.

Jacksonville st +1 Vs. Austin Peavy

Jacksonville St. is a much better team at home this season then on the road. They come into the matchup at 6-4 at home, compared to a 5-10 road record. At home they average 73 points per game and holding their opponents to 66. Austin Peavy is 8-6 on the road, but allows 2 more points to their opponent. Look for Jacksonville St. to win a close one here.

7-4-2 YTD

Coll of Charleston St. +1 At. Appalachian St.

Appalachian State has been a disappointment this year. Coming into the game at 10-14 look for their struggles to continue. This should come down to the wire, but look for Coll of Charleston to pull this game off late.

Uconn -2 Vs. Pittsburgh.

Uconn at home is 12-1 SU this year. Yes, they are only 4-5 ATS, but at -2.5 this is pretty much a pickem. I believe Pittsburgh will come out early with to much adrenaline pumping and make a few stupid decisions. Look for Uconn to take and early lead and keep it for majority of the game.

Louisiana tech +9 At. New Mexico st.

The line of +9 seems a little too high here. Louisiana comes into this match up at 10-15, but 13-6 ATS. New Mexico St. has a high powered offense, averaging 81 points per game at home. But, they allow the opponent to 74 points. Look for high scoring game, and Louisiana tech to cover.

Canisius +6 At. Loyola Maryland

Look for Loyola Maryland start off slow in this game. Throughout the season at home they've allowed many of their opponents take a lead into the half. Loyola will be playing from behind majority of the game, may come back to win, but shouldn't cover.

6-4-2 YTD

Arizona State -3.5 Vs. USC 1st Half

Look for Arizona State to come out running in the first half. Arizona State is averaging 35 points at home in the first half this season, while only allowing their opponents to 27. Arizona State is a better overall team so look for this trend to continue.

5-4-2 YTD

Miami Vs. North Carolina 2nd Half Under 82.5

This total looks way to high here. Miami thrives on there defense to keep them in games and to win games. North Carolina is struggling to score against the zone defense, and is only shooting 2-9 22% from the three. Look for this total to hit a max of 75.

4-3 YTD.....Happy Valentines Day

Syracuse -4 Vs. Georgetown

Both Syracuse and Georgetown haven't been playing well as of late. Georgetown is 1-4 in it's last 5, while Syracuse has lost 2 in a row. Both of Syracuse's losses have been on the road, so I'm looking for Orange's to come out strong at home today, in a conference game. Syracuse is 13-2 in conference home games and the Hoyas are 2-6 in conference road games.

South Carolina -2 at. Alabama

This line is too low for me. I think Alabama will have trouble running with the Gamecocks and tire late in the game. The Gamecocks are the 5th highest scoring team on the road averaging 81 points per game, while at home the Crimson Tide's average 72 points per game.

Florida -10 at. Georgia

On Jan. 28th Florida beat Georgia 83-57 in Florida. The line was set for Florida -16, and the ended up winning by 26. But, Georgia is home today so they may cover, right? Well, Georgia is 0-5 straight up in it's last 5 home games and 1-4 ATS. -10 seems a little low to me, look for the Gators to blow out the Bulldogs.


Youngstown St. -1 Vs. Wisc-Milwaukee

Wisc-Milwaukee is a very poor road team ATS and is playing poor ball as of late. With both teams played on Thursday, and Wisc-Milwaukee coming of a loss, look for Youngstown to take advantage at home early.

3-2 YTD

Villanova +4.5 @ West Virginia

Why is Villanova getting 4.5 points here? Because they're on the road? Villanova is 7-3 on the road this year, while West Virginia is 9-2 at home. Villanova is the better team here and is playing ball like a #1 team.


Sophomores -5.5 Vs. Rookies

It's NBA All-Star weekend, and to start it off I'm liking the Sophomores to push around those Rookies. With Kevin Durant, Al Thornton, Thadeus Young, and Rodney Stuckey all representing the Sophomores, this could become a blowout.

Florida St -10
I believe this line should be more like -14 to -16. I can see Florida St coming out slow after the comeback win against Clemson, but they should be able to finish strong. They play a ver poor Virginia team who should have trouble scoring against the Florida st defense.

Michigan +6 (buy 2 points)
Yes, Michigan State is no doubt the better team in this matchup, but Michigan at home with points I’ll take any day. Michigan has beaten Michigan State the last 3 times they've played at home, and it could definitely happen again tonight. Although, I would rather play it safe and buy 2 point from +4, and take the wolverines at +6 -150.

Villanova -5
Jay Wright has this team playing some excellent ball right now. At home Villanova is averaging 77 points and holding the opposing team to 59. Yes, Marquette has a excellent team, reason why they are ranked 10th in the nation, but Villanova is playing like a team ranked #1 as of late.

Seton Hall -1
Why is this line so low? I feel like this will be the same game as Seton Hall vs. Rutgers on Sunday. Seton Hall was +1 on the road and ended up winning by a few. I like Seton Hall to win a tight one late.

Boston College +145
This is more of a value bet. I think Boston College Has a very good chance on winning this game, so i will absolutely take almost 1.5X my money here. Just remember Clemson has never won in Boston College
