5* NCAAB Metro Atlantic Athletic GAME OF THE MONTH on Marist +

I love the value here with the Red Foxes as a road dog against the Bobcats. Marist comes in off back-to-back wins and have covered 4 of their last 5, including a 78-71 win at Canisius as a 4-point dog.

These two teams played earlier in the season and Quinnipiac won by 14-points. However, Marist shot 54% from the field and were only down 2-points at the half. They basically lost the game at the free throw line, where they went 7 of 14. 

Red Foxes are 34-18 ATS last 52 off a home win by 10 or more and the underdog is 8-3 ATS last 11 in the series. Bobcats are also just 2-12 ATS last 14 at home vs a marginal losing team (win percent 40% to 49%) and 0-8 ATS last 8 at home vs teams who attempt 21 or more 3-points at least 15+ games into the season. Take Marist! 

3* NCAAB Underdog PLAY OF THE DAY on Delaware +

This is a great spot to jump on the Blue Hens as a small road dog against the Tigers. My numbers suggest that Delaware should be the ones favored in this matchup. The Blue Hens are simply being undervalued here because they come in having gone 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6, while Towson is 5-1 ATS in their last 6. 

We will definitely take the points and it doesn't hurt that the Underdog has won 6 of the last 8 meetings in the series. The Blue Hens are also a dominant 18-7-1 ATS last 26 road games vs a team with a losing home record, while the Tigers are a miserable 4-11 ATS in their last 15 home games. Take Delaware! 

3* LATE INFO INSIDER

No Analysis on late releases

5* NCAAB Colonial Athletic GAME OF THE MONTH on Drexel +

Love the value here with Drexel as a pick'em on the road against James Madison. These two teams already played once this season and the Dragons won 73-68 at home. The Dukes were very lucky to lose by just 5. Drexel shot a miserable 20% from 3-point range (3-15). 

Expect much better shooting this time around, as the Dragons are coming off a game against Charleston where they shot 54% from the field for the game. Drexel has also covered each of their last 7 games and are 5-0 ATS last 5 vs a team with a losing record.

Adding to all this is a great system in play favoring a fade of the Dukes. In games involving two marginal losing teams (winning 40% to 49%) the home team is a mere 28-58 ATS if they have gone over the total by 30 or more points in their last 3 games. That's a 67% system in favor of the Dragons. Take Drexel! 

4* NCAAB Underdog PLAY OF THE WEEK on DePaul +

I really like this spot for the Blue Demons. DePaul comes in off a come-from-behind 74-62 win at Xavier as a 4-point dog, giving them back-to-back wins since a hard fought loss at home to Villanova. 

Speaking of Villanova, Marquette just handed the Wildcats their first loss in conference play this past Saturday in a thrilling 66-65 win at home. That was hands down the biggest game of the season for the Golden Eagles and that makes this game against DePaul a huge letdown spot, especially since Marquette already beat the Blue Demons by double-digits earlier this season. 

Road favorites who are a top level team (won 80% or more) that are coming off a home win as a favorite where they failed to cover the spread are just 71-117 ATS in their next game if facing a marginal winning team (51% to 60%). That's a 62% long-term trend that dates back to 1997 in favor of the Blue Demons. Take DePaul! 

3* NCAAB Situational ATS ANNIHILATOR on Maryland +

This is the ideal spot to fade the Boilermakers. Purdue comes into this game having won 8 straight and are simply overvalued because of it. No way should Maryland be a dog on their home floor. Note that 5 of the Boilermakers 8 wins during this run have come at home and two of their road wins were against Penn St and Ohio St. 

Maryland hasn't lost at home in Big Ten play, as they come in a perfect 5-0. They are just 2-3 in their last 5, but two of those losses came on the road against Michigan State and Wisconsin. The Terps rebounded from the loss to the Badgers with 60-45 thrashing of the Cornhuskers in Nebraska last time out. 

No one expected Maryland to be as good as they are, which is why they are showing such great value against a team like Purdue. Keep in mind these two teams already played once this season and the Terps narrowly loss 62-60 on the Boilermakers home court. 

In the win over Nebraska the Terps held the Cornhuskers to just 21.1% shooting. Maryland is 32-13 ATS last 45 at home after holding a team to 33% or worse shooting. Purdue is also 23-42 ATS last 65 on the road after two straight games as a home favorite. Terps have also covered 5 of the last 6 in the series. Take Maryland! 

4* TCU/Kansas Big 12 GAME OF THE WEEK on TCU -

This is just too good a price to pass up on the Horned Frogs at home against the Jayhawks. Kansas is a team that gets all kinds of love, which is why they are still sitting at No. 13 in the country, despite the fact that they are just 7-4 in the Big 12 and have lost some big pieces to injury, including a season-ending injury to big man Udoka Azubiuke. 

They also are expected to be without second-leading scorer Lagerlad Vick, while Marcus Garrett is questionable after missing the last 3. Kansas has played 7 true road games and are 1-6 in those contests. TCU is 11-1 at home this season and are a perfect 4-0 at home. Horned Frogs also come in off an impressive 9-point win at ISU as a 9.5-point dog. Take TCU! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Houston -

Too much value here with Houston laying such a short number at home. The Cougars are a perfect 16-0 at home this season and are riding a massive 31-game home winning streak overall. Houston is outscoring opponents 77.4 to 59.9 on their home floor. 

Cincinnati is a quality team, but they are simply getting way to much respect from the books here because they come in having won 8 straight and gone 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. 

Cougars are 42-22 ATS last 64 games at home as a favorite of 6 or less, 20-7-1 ATS last 28 vs a team with a winning record and 5-1 ATS last 6 at home vs a team that's won more than 60% of their road games. Take Houston! 

5* NCAAB Big 12 GAME OF THE MONTH on Baylor -

Love the value here with Baylor at basically a pick'em on their home floor. The Bears come in off a 12-point loss at Texas, but played well enough to win, the Longhorns simply couldn't miss (shot 55%).

Baylor had won and covered 6 straight prior to that loss and I'm confident they return back to form. They have won 3 straight at home and are 7-1 ATS over their 6-3 start to Big 12 play. K-State has been playing well, but this is a big letdown spot for the Wildcats coming off a huge win at Kansas. 

Bears are 7-1 ATS lat 8 after playing their previous game as an underdog, 7-0 ATS last 7 after covering 4 of their last 5 and 6-0 ATS last 6 at home after giving up 80 or more points in their previous game. Take Baylor!

4* Duke/Virginia ACC GAME OF THE WEEK on Virginia - 

I just can't pass up a play on Virginia at basically a pick'em on their home court against Duke. The Cavaliers only loss this season was a mere 2-point loss at Duke back on Jan. 19th. You can bet that Virginia has had this one circled since that loss. I expect the very best the Cavs have to offer here. 

As for Duke, we all know how good they are, but I think they are getting a little too much respect here on the road in one of the hardest places in the country to get a win. Note that while the Blue Devils are 4-0 on the road in ACC play, those 4 have come against Wake Forest, Florida State, Pittsburgh and Notre Dame. The only one of those teams with more than 2 conference wins is FSU and Duke only won by 2 at the Seminoles. Take Virginia! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Indiana -

Both of these teams are coming off big time wins the last time they took the court. Iowa defeated Michigan 74-59 as a 5.5-point home dog, while Indiana won 79-75 at Michigan State as a 14-point dog. I'm just a lot more confident with the Hoosiers carrying over that momentum on their home floor. 

Iowa has not been a great road team and I get that Indiana had lost 7 straight prior to that win over the Spartans, but there's reason to believe they can keep it going. They got two key pieces back from injury in De'Ron Davis and Devonte Green. Juwan Morgan did go down with a shoulder injury against Michigan State, but he was back practicing on Monday and is listed as probable. 

It's worth noting that Indiana comes in shooting 47.4% from the field on the season (51.9% at home), as Iowa is a mere 5-15 ATS last 20 on the road against teams who shoot 45% or better from the field. Hawkeyes are also 6-16 ATS last 22 as a road dog and 3-12 ATS last 15 on the road overall. Take Indiana! 

5* NCAAB American Athletic GAME OF THE MONTH on SMU -

This line really says it all. USF comes in having won 3 straight and are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games, while SMU enters having lost their last 2 and are just 1-4 in their last 5. You wouldn't expect the Bulls to be a 5-point dog here, but that just tells you how much the books not only like the Mustangs to win but to do so rather easily. 

The biggest thing to keep in mind with SMU's 1-4 stretch over their last 5 is just how tough the schedule has been. Out of the 4 losses, 3 were on the road against the likes of Cincinnati, Wichita State and Memphis. The only loss at home was to arguably the best team in the league in Houston. 

In their other 3 conference home games this season they have beat Tulane by 10, Tulsa by 20 and East Carolina by 28. USF's only road win in the AAC is against Tulane and they are the only team in the conference that has yet to win a game (just 4-17 overall). 

Bulls are 14-28 ATS last 42 as a road dog of 3.5 to 6.5 points, while the Mustangs are 23-12 ATS last 35 as a home favorite and 12-3 ATS last 15 at home when playing only their 2nd game in a 8-day stretch. Take SMU! 

3* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Mississippi St - 

LSU had started out 7-0 in SEC play before losing a heartbreaker at home 90-89 to Arkansas as a 10-point favorite. Most will just assume the Tigers will return right back to their winning ways, but I think they struggle to bounce back against a very good Mississippi State team. 

The Bulldogs are just 4-4 in SEC play, but 3 of those 4 losses came by 5-points or less. They are also a dominant 11-1 at home this season, where they are scoring 83.9 ppg and shooting a ridiculous 50.4% from the field. 

Tigers are a mere 16-31 ATS last 47 off an upset loss to a conference opponent. Bulldogs are 34-17 ATS last 51 at home with a line of +3 to -3 and 14-3 ATS last 17 at home after playing their previous game as an underdog. Take Mississippi State -2.5! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Kansas State -

Love the value here with the Wildcats as a short home favorite against in-state rival Kansas. The Jayhawks are ranked No. 13 and fresh off a big home win against Texas Tech, but they have had their struggles on the road in true road games. Kansas is 1-5 when visiting an opposing teams arena, including a 1-3 mark in the Big 12. 

Kansas State comes into this one having won 6 of their last 7 and the only loss was out of conference and on the road. The Wildcats might not be ranked, but they are definitely playing like a Top 25 team and let's not forget this was a team that going into the season was expected to compete for the Big 12 title.

K-State is 10-1 at home this season. They have covered 5 straight against a team that's won more than 60% of their games, while KU is a mere 3-8 ATS last 11 vs a team that's won more than 60% of their games. Take Kansas State! 

3* NCAAB Vegas ODDSMAKERS ERROR on Marist +

Easy play on the Red Foxes for me. Canisius is getting way too much respect on their home floor. The Golden Griffins are just 3-5 SU and 2-6 ATS at home this season. Marist is just 2-3 in their last 5 games, but all 3 losses have come by 5-points or less. 

The Red Foxes won't be overlooking Canisius, as they will be out to get revenge from a 3-point home loss back in early January. Marist has been very profitable against bad teams like the Golden Griffins on the road. The Red Foxes are 5-1 ATS last 6 on the road vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their home games. Canisius is also 2-9 ATS last 11 at home and 1-6 ATS last 7 at home vs a team with a losing road record. Take Marist! 

3* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Quinnipiac +

Easy play here for me with the Bobcats at basically a pick'em on the road against the Purple Eagles. Quinnipiac will  be out for revenge after a crushing 3-point loss at home to Niagara less than a month ago. Bobcats only lost by 3 despite the Purple Eagles shooting 52% from the field. 

Considering Niagara is only shooting 41.7% for the season and are allowing teams to shoot 47% against them at home, we can be confident there won't be a repeat of the first meeting. Quinnipiac comes in off a close loss at Canisius, which is a positive here, as they are 5-1 ATS last 6 off a SU loss. Bobcats are also 4-1 ATS last 5 on the road and 8-1 ATS last 9 road games after playing their previous game on the road. Take Quinnipiac! 

4* NCAAB Late Night BAILOUT BLOWOUT on Poly +

Mustangs are being way undervalued here by the books, as Cal Poly should have no problem covering this near double-digit spread on the road against CS Northridge. Not the first time the Matadors have been overvalued at home. Northridge is a mere 5-16 ATS last 21 as a home favorite of 6.5 to 9 points and are 6-20 ATS last 26 at home when coming off a game where they scored 25 or fewer points in the 1st half 

Great system in play favoring the Mustangs. Road underdogs who have only won between 20% to 40% of their games and are off a conference win as a underdog of 6-points or less are 113-63 (64%) ATS when facing a team with a losing record over the last 5 seasons. Take Cal Poly! 

5* NCAAB Vegas NO LIMIT Top Play on Pepperdine +

Books have the wrong team favored in this one. Pepperdine should have zero problem leaving Pacific with a win Saturday night. The Waves just absolutely rolled Portland 83-58 as a mere 5-point road favorite last time out. That's 3 straight covers, giving them a 8-2 ATS mark in their last 10 games. 

Clearly the books are not giving Pepperdine the respect they deserve. Pacific is a mere 2-6 SU in their last 8 and have failed to cover 3 straight. Note that the two wins for the Tigers are both against Portland and neither came easy. For those that don't know, Portland is the worst team in the WCC (currently 0-8 in conference play). Take Pepperdine! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Portland +

Great value here with the Pilots as a road dog against Santa Clara. Portland has been absolutely money in this spot. The Pilots come in off a 83-58 loss at home to Pepperdine on Thursday. Portland is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 Saturday games overall and 14-4 ATS in their last 18 road games when playing on 1 or fewer days of rest.  

There's a great system in play favoring the Pilots. Underdogs coming off a game where they shot 33% or worse from the field are 80-36 (69%) ATS over the last 5 seasons in a matchup that features two average defense teams (allowing 42.5% to 45%). Take Portland! 

3* NCAAB Money Line PLAY OF THE DAY on St. Peter's pk

Really like the Peacocks in this spot. These two teams played earlier this season and the Jaspers squeaked out a 58-56 win, despite shooting 48% from the field and holding St. Peter's to 33.3%. The gap won't be that big the second time around and seeing how Manhattan is shooting 39.6% on the season, I think we could see the percentages flip-flop. 

Peacocks have covered 10 of their last 13 in conference play and are 8-1 when revenging a close loss of 3-points or less. Manhattan comes in off a win as a dog against Fairfield, but that's actually a positive for us. Jaspers are 3-12 last 15 off a home win and 1-6  last 7 off an upset win as a dog. Take St. Peter's! 

4* NCAAB Small Conf PLAY OF THE WEEK on Delaware +

William & Mary continues to get a ton of unwarranted respect from the books. The Tribe are a miserable 5-14 ATS on the season and come into this one having not covered a spread in 6 straight games. 

While William & Mary is a team you want to fade, the Blue Hens are the team you want to be backing in this spot. Delaware is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 road games with a high total between 140-149.5 and a perfect 7-0 ATS over the last 2 seasons as a road underdog of 6-points or less. 

These two teams also played earlier this season with the Blue Hens taking home the victory. Home teams revenging a same season loss against an opponent off an upset loss as a road favorite are just 42-77 (35.3%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Take Delaware! 

4* NCAAB Situational ATS NO-BRAINER on Princeton -

The Tigers should have no problem cashing in a win and cover here as a slim road favorite against the Lions. Princeton comes into this game rolling. The Tigers have won 5 straight and covered each of their last 3 games with a line available to bet. 

As for Columbia they come in off a win at home over Cornell as a favorite, but failed to cover the spread. The Lions are just 1-3 ATS last 4 lined games and have not been good in this spot. Columbia is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 at home vs a team with a winning road record and are 1-4 ATS  last 5 in league play. Tigers are 6-1 ATS last 7 vs a team with a losing record and 4-1 ATS last 5 in league play. Take Princeton! 

5* NCAAB Vegas INSIDER Top Play on Quinnipiac +

Love the value here with the Bobcats getting points against the Golden Griffins. Canisius is getting way too much love here at home, as they have shown to have little to no home court advantage. The Golden Griffins are just 2-5 SU and 1-6 ATS in home lined games this season. 

Another big reason I like Quinnipiac here is they will extra motivated to get revenge from a crushing 2-point loss at home to Canisius earlier this season. This is definitely the time to jump on the Bobcats, as they are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 road games off a conference win, 7-0 ATS last 7 road games with a total of 140 to 149.5 and 6-0 ATS last 6 as a road underdog of 6 points or less. Take Quinnipiac! 

5* NCAAB No Limit GAME OF THE MONTH on Brown -

Easy play here on the Bears as a slim road favorite at Dartmouth Friday night. Brown is simply the better team, but the fact that they come in off back-to-back losses to Yale and the Big Green split their two games against Harvard, we are getting a great price on them. Yale looks like the team to beat in the Ivy League so far and the Bears played them tough in both meetings, losing by just 3 at home and by 8 on the road. 

Dartmouth had the big upset over Harvard at home, but let's not forget the Big Green were the consensus pick to finish last in the Ivy League and this is a spot they have struggled in. Dartmouth is a mere 4-16 ATS in their last 20 home games against a top tier team that is outscoring opponents by 8+ points/game. Bears are also a strong 5-1 ATS last 6 on the road. Take Brown! 

5* NCAAB Late Night GAME OF THE MONTH on Pacific +

The Tigers should have zero problem covering here at Loyola-Marymount. The overall records make it look like the Lions are the far superior team, but I think this is a very evenly matched game. Pacific is 2-5 and getting outscored by 6.3 ppg in conference play. Loyola-Marymount is only 3-4 and are getting outscored by 4.7 ppg. 

The Tigers come into this game off back-to-back games where they failed to cover the spread, but that's actually a positive for us. Pacific is 8-1 ATS over the last 2 seasons after failing to cover two straight. The Tigers are are also 9-1 ATS in their last 10 off a conference win. Lions are 2-5 ATS last 7 at home and 0-5 ATS last 5 off a SU win. Take Pacific! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Cal Poly +

The Mustangs are worth a look here as a decently priced road dog against the Highlanders. Cal Poly is way undervalued right now having lost 5 straight and failed to cover 4 in a row. On the flip side of this, you got UC Riverside having covered 4 of their last 5. 

Fading the Highlanders in this spot has been a wise investment, as they are just 4-11 ATS in their last 15 home games vs a team with a losing road record. 

It's also worth noting that Riverside beat Cal Poly earlier this season, which sets up the Mustangs in a very profitable spot. Road underdogs who are off back-to-back conference losses by 10 or more and revenging a loss as a favorite are 41-15 (73%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Take Cal Poly! 

5* NCAAB Vegas NO LIMIT Top Play on Drexel +

This is the perfect spot to jump on the Dragons as a road dog. Drexel hosted William & Mary earlier this season and got embarrassed 84-66. That's not a concern here, as the Dragons are a remarkable 25-9 ATS in their last 34 when revenging a home loss of 10 or more. 

The Tribe are also a team that you want to fade at home against bad teams. William & Mary are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games in the month of January and 1-4 ATS last 5 at home vs a team with a losing road record. The Tribe have also failed to cover 5 straight, while the Dragons are 5-1 ATS last 6 vs a team with a losing record. Take Drexel! 

5* NCAAB Big West GAME OF THE MONTH on Northridge +

The Matadors will have no problem covering here as a near double-digit road dog against the Titans. These two teams have pretty much identical records, but we are seeing the line heavily shaded in favor of Cal State Fullerton because they come in having won 4 straight and covered 3 in a row. 

I just think this line should be closer to 3, giving us more than 4-points in value on a team that can win this game outright. Adding to this, we see that the Matadors are a dominant 9-1 ATS last 10 road games in the month of January and are a perfect 7-0 ATS last 7 road games off a SU win. Take CS-Northridge! 

4* NCAAB Underdog PLAY OF THE WEEK on Marist +

Marist should have no problem here covering as a double-digit road dog against the Broncs. Rider is simply overvalued right now. You can easily see that by looking at their last 6 games. The Broncs are 5-1 SU, yet are 2-4 ATS. They just had a 5-game winning streak snapped with a 6-point loss at Iona, where they were favored by 2.5. 

Marist is in a prime bounce back spot after an ugly 92-78 home loss to Quinnipiac and the Red Foxes are 13-5-2 ATS in their last 20 when coming off a double-digit loss at home. Rider is also a mere 1-6 ATS in their last 7 vs a team that's won less than 40% of their games and 2-6 ATS last 8 games on their home floor. Take Marist! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Iona +

Easy play here on the Gaels at a pick'em against the Stags. Iona comes in off a 77-71 win and cover as a 2.5-point home dog against Rider and are 5-2 ATS last 7 overall. Gaels are also now 5-2 in conference play and that includes a 94-87 win at home over Fairfield. 

I just don't think the Stags have the talent to win this contest. Fairfield comes in having lost 4 straight. Each of the last two defeats coming at home. First it was a 5-point loss as a 3-point favorite to Canisius. Then it was a 9-point loss as a 2-point favorite against Siena, where the Stags managed just 48 points. 

Fairfield is 3-11 ATS last 14 off a conference loss, 2-6-1 ATS last 9 at home and a miserable 0-5 ATS last 5 vs a team with a losing record. Take Iona! 

5* NCAAB West Coast GAME OF THE YEAR on San Francisco -

Amazing value here with the Dons at basically a pick'em on the road against the Toreros. San Francisco comes in having won 3 straight. The last two in blowout fashion, beating BYU by 19 and Portland by 22. Dons are 14-3 ATS last 17 when off a conference win by 20 or more. 

There's also a big time system in play favoring the Dons to cover. Road favorites who are a strong offensive team (74-78 ppg) against a sub-par defensive team (67-74 ppg) are 53-22 (71%) ATS over the last 5 seasons when leading in their previous game by 15 or more at the half. Take San Francisco! 

5* NCAAB Vegas Insider TOP PLAY on Cornell +

Love the value here with Cornell getting this many points. These two teams played each other last time out and the Big Red pulled out a 60-59 win at home. A pretty impressive victory given they were so sloppy with the ball. Cornell had 20 turnovers, wich was their most in a game since early December. 

I think they clean up those mistakes and not only cover the spread, but win this game outright. Columbia is just 2-10 ATS last 12 at home when revenging a loss of 3-points or less.

Great system favoring a play on the Big Red. Road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points, who are coming off a home win by 3-points or less and have a winning percentage between 45%-55% are 161-97 (62%) ATS since 1997. Take Cornell! 

4* NCAAB Vegas ODDSMAKERS ERROR on Portland +

Great value here with the Pilots as a near double-digit dog at Pacific. For starters, this series has been owned by the road team, as the home team has failed to cover 5 straight. Portland is also out for revenge here, as they lost 65-57 at home back on 1/12. Good news is the Pilots are 7-0 ATS last 3 seasons in road games when revenging a same season loss. 

We also got two big time systems in play here. One favoring a fade of the Tigers and the other a play on the Pilots. First, home favorites of 10 or more off 4 straight games where both teams scored 70+ points are a mere 18-46 (22.1%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Second, Underdog of 10 to 19.5 points that have lost 3 straight by 15 or more points are 53-25 (68%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Take Portland!

5* NCAAB Early Bird NO LIMIT Top Play on Drexel +

Too much value to pass up with the Dragons catching this many points on the road against the Blue Hens. Drexel comes in off back-to-back wins where they covered the spread and are 3-1 SU and ATS in their last 4.

Delaware has dropped 2 of their last 3, including a loss at home to Towson as a similarly priced 5.5-point favorite. Dragons have covered 7 of their last 10 in conference play and Drexel head coach Zach Spiker is 11-2 in road games when his team is coming off a home win. Take Drexel! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Rider -

Big time value here with the Broncs as a small road favorite against the Gaels. Rider was the preseason favorite to win the MAAC and have lived up to the hype so far.

The Broncs are a perfect 5-0 in league play, which includes a 3-0 conference road record. Rider won by 20 at Niagara as a 4.5-point favorite, by 9 at Canisius as a 2-point favorite. I expect a similar type of outcome here against Iona. 

Gaels are a miserable 4-11 ATS last 15 games, 2-8 ATS last 10 after giving up 80+ points in their previous game and 2-14 ATS in their last 16 after playing a game as a road favorite. Take Rider! 

5* NCAAB Ivy League GAME OF THE MONTH on Brown +

The Bears should have no problem covering here as a near double-digit road dog at Yale. The Bulldogs are getting way too much respect here because they are a perfect 5-0 at home, enter on a 7-game winning streak and are 3-1 ATS last 4. 

Just so happens these two teams just played each other in their last game on Saturday. Yale barely snuck out a 70-67 win. It's really tough to beat the same team twice in a short window like this, especially when you have a quality team like Brown. I actually think the Bears have a really good shot at winning this game outright. 

Either way they are 24-10 ATS in their last 34 road games off a home loss, 10-2 ATS last 12 on the road after a game where they failed to cover and 5-0 last 5 on the road overall. Take Brown! 

5* NCAAB West Coast (WCC) GAME OF THE MONTH on Loyola Marymount +

I like the Lions to win this game outright, making them an easy play here as a decently priced dog. San Diego has been overvalued here of late, as the Toreros are just 2-5 ATS last 7. Last time out they got rolled by 17 points at St Mary's. They were also upset in their most recent home game, losing 76-71 to Pepperdine as a 8-point favorite. 

Loyola-Marymount comes in off a win over Pepperdine at home, but did fail to cover as a 4.5-point favorite. That's okay, as the Lions have cashed 8 of their last 10 games when coming off a ATS loss. Lions are also 8-3 ATS last 11 road games, 7-3 ATS last 10 conference games and 4-1 ATS last 5 vs a team that's won more than 60% of their games. Take Loyola-Marymount! 

3* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT  on Siena +

The Saints should have no problem cashing in a win here at Fairfield. Siena comes in off a win and cover at home against Niagara and won their last road game at Marist as a 3-point dog.

The Stags on the other hand have lost 3 straight and really don't have much of a home court edge. We saw that in their last game, which they lost at home 73-68 as a 3-point favorite. 

Fairfield is just 2-5-1 ATS last 8 home games and are 0-4 ATS last 4 vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their games. Take Siena! 

3* NCAAB Late Night BAILOUT BLOWOUT on Riverside +

Great spot to back the Highlanders as a small dog against the Mustangs. UC-Riverside has covered 9 of their last 11 conference road games and are 9-1 ATS last 10 road games in the month of January. 

While neither of these teams have great records, the Highlanders are without a doubt the better team. Cal Poly is 0-3 ATS at home this season, they are 0-7 ATS last 10 off a conference loss by 10 or more, 0-6 ATS in their last 6 with a line of +3 to -3  and 0-8 ATS the last 2 seasons after 15 games when playing a team with a winning record. Take UC-Riverside! 

5* NCAAB Vegas Insider TOP PLAY on St. Peter's +

Love the Peacocks here. St. Peter's should have no problem winning this game, making them an easy play as a 3.5-point dog. The Purple Eagles should not be favored. These two teams have played 4 common opponents.

While the Peacocks are just 1-3, Niagara is 0-4. The defensive numbers really stand out, as St Peters only gave up 58.5 ppg in these 4, while the Purple Eagles are allowing 77 ppg. 

The Peacocks have gone 20-8 ATS in their last 28 road games against a team with a winning record. They are also 8-2 ATS last 10 in conference play and 4-0 ATS last 4 off a game where they failed to cover. 

Niagara has failed to cover 5 of their last 7, are a mere 2-11 ATS last 13 home games on Tuesday night and 4-18 ATS last 22 at home after playing 5 straight games as an underdog. Take St. Peter's!

3* NCAAB Vegas Oddsmakers ERROR on Marist -

The Red Foxes should be a bigger favorite here given what we saw when these two teams met earlier this month. Marist crushed Manhattan 78-63. The Red Foxes shot 56% from the field, while their defense limited the Jaspers to a mere 40% from the field. 

I just don't think Manhattan has a big enough home court edge to close the gap. In fact, the Jaspers have just 1 win on their home floor this season. They just played 4 straight on the road and are just 1-5 ATS last 6 after playing 3 or more on the road. Red Foxes are also 4-1 ATS last 5 road games vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their home games and 4-1 ATS last 5 in this series. Take Marist! 

3* NCAAB Late Night BAILOUT BLOWOUT on Fullerton +

This is going to look like an easy play on Long Beach State, as they come in 6-1 at home, while CS-Fullerton is a mere 1-10 on the road. The books have set the trap. The smart money here is going to be on the Titans. 

The 49ers have been getting all the calls the last couple of games, which is worth noting. Long Beach State is a mere 1-9 ATS in their last 10 at home after back-to-back games where they attempted 10+ more free throws than their opponents. Titans are also a strong 4-1 ATS last 5 vs a team with a losing record. Take CS-Fullerton! 

5* NCAAB Vegas NO LIMIT Top Play on Towson +

Love the value here with the Tigers at this price. Towson comes in having lost 6 straight and failed to cover the spread in all 6. It's been some bad luck for the Tigers, as all 6 losses have been respectable. The most they lost by in this stretch is 12-points. 

Delaware is coming in off a win and cover at home against James Madison. They have struggled i this spot historically, going just 39-61 ATS at home at a cover. I think the Blue Hens will really struggle to give the Tigers the respect they deserve. Wouldn't be shocked at all if Towson won this game.

Adding to this is a big time system in play on the Tigers. Underdogs who are coming off a game where they shot 33% or worse from the field are 78-34 (70%) ATS over the last 5 seasons in games where you have two average defensive teams that are allowing teams to shoot 42.5%-45%. Take Towson +6!

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on James Madison +

Love the value here with the Dukes getting points at Drexel. The Dragons are coming in off a home win against Towson, where they held the Tigers to just 32.4% shooting. That's a rare good defensive effort for Drexel. The Dragons had allowed 10 of their last 11 opponents to shoot 48% or better. 

All of this sets up a great system to fade Drexel in this spot. Home favorites that are allowing teams to shoot 45% or better against them on the season are a mere 38-75 (33.6%) ATS after a game where they held a team to 33% or worse. Take James Madison! 

5* NCAAB Vegas Insider TOP PLAY  on Marist +

Big time value here with the Red Foxes as a road dog against the Gaels. Marist is way undervalued right now, as they come in having lost 5 of their last 6. Iona is also overvalued having won 3 of 5. Gaels covered last time out and are just 5-21 ATS in their last 26 after covering their previous game. 

Marist has had no problem cashing in a winning ticket when they visit Iona, as they are 9-3-1 ATS last 13 trips to face the Gaels. 

It's also worth pointing out that Iona comes into this game off a 88-70 road win at Canisius, which puts the Gaels into a very profitable system to fade. Favorites on Friday nights that are coming off an upset win as a road dog are a mere 18-52 (25.7%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Take Marist! 

4* NCAAB Big West GAME OF THE WEEK on Riverside +

The Highlanders showing big time value here as a double-digit dog at Cal State-Fullerton. Riverside is 0-2 in Big West action, but have covered the spread in both games, including a cover as a double-digit dog at US-Santa Barbara last time out. 

Going back to last season the Highlanders are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs conference opponents and have gone 3-0-1 ATS last 4 off a SU loss. The Titans have no business laying this many points. Last time out they lost at home by 17 as a mere 3.5-point dog to UC-Irvine. That's after losing by 11 as a 3-point dog at Hawaii. Fullerton is 2-8 ATS last 10 overall, 1-4 ATS last 5 at home and 1-6 ATS last 7 off a loss. Take UC-Riverside! 

3* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Omaha -

The Mavericks should have no problem leaving Western Illinois with a win, making them an easy play for me as a small road favorite. Nebraska-Omaha comes in with a respectable 9-8 record and are off to a 3-1 start in league play. 

The Mavericks are an offensive force to say the least. Omaha has scored at least 83 points in 7 straight games, eclipsing 90 in each of their last 2. the Leathernecks are giving up 79.6 ppg and allowing teams to shoot 51.1% from the floor in their 1-4 start to conference play. Western Illinois simply doesn't have the offensive fire-power to keep it close. Take Nebraska-Omaha! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Manhattan +

We are getting a great price here on the Jaspers in Thursday's road slate at St. Peter's. It's been a rough go for Manhattan, who is just 3-13 on the season and 1-3 in league play, but it's not been a whole lot better for the Peacocks, who have won a mere 5 games. 

Road team has had the edge in this series, covering 4 of the last 5 and the Jaspers are a red-hot 6-1 in their last 7 trips to St. Peter's. Last year they won 68-57 as a very similarly priced 5.5-point dog. Take Manhattan! 

5* NCAAB Heavy Hitter GAME OF THE MONTH on James Madison +

The Dukes should have no problem covering the small number here at Delaware, as I got them winning this game outright. James Madison comes in off two strong games, as they beat Towson 74-65 as a 4-point favorite and won 69-58 at home against College of Charleston as a 8.5-point dog. 

As for the Blue Hens, they just lost at College of Charleston by 13, snapping their 4-game win streak. I look for Delaware to struggle again here, as they are just 5-15 ATS last 20 at home after going 4-1 in their previous 5 games.

The Dukes are also 9-3 ATS in their last 12 vs a quality team that's won more than 60% of their games and 8-2 ATS last 10 on the road after playing 3 or more consecutive games at home. Take James Madison! 

5* NCAAB Vegas NO LIMIT Top Play on Towson +

This series has been dominated by the road dog. The road team has covered 8 of the last 12 and the underdog has cashed in 11 of the last 17. Towson is 4-1-1 in their last 6 trips to Drexel. I not only like them to keep it within the number, but I think the Tigers win this game outright. 

Thees are two of the worst teams in the Colonial Athletic and there's just not any home court edge for a team like the Dragons. One area where Towson should have a big edge is on the boards. Tigers are outrebounding opponents by an average of 6/game. Dragons are 2-9 ATS last 11 games vs a team that averages +4 or better rebound margin and have lost these game by an average of 10 points. Take Towson! 

4* NCAAB American Athletic GAME OF THE WEEK on SMU +

Too much value here with the Mustangs to pass up. Houston comes in with a 16-1 record and ranked in the Top 25. They started out the season 10-4 ATS and are simply way overvalued by the books right now. We have seen that inflation cost their backers in each of their 2 games, as they failed to cover in an outright loss at Temple and most recently as a 11-point home favorite against Wichita St (won by 9). 

SMU got off to a bit of a slow start, but come in having won 5 of their last 6, including an impressive 20-point win over Tulsa as a 8.5-point favorite last time out. The defense has really picked up for the Mustangs and we know we are getting their best on that side of the ball at home against a big time rival. 

Mustangs are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 at home after a win and 11-3 ATS in their last 14 at home off a win by 15 or more points. Take SMU! 

3* NCAAB SEC PLAY OF THE DAY on Vanderbilt -

This line tells you all you need to know. Vanderbilt is 0-3 in SEC play and is a 3.5-point favorite over South Carolina, who is 3-0 in conference action. Commodores only home game in SEC play was against Ole Miss, who at the time was playing out of their mind and I think they caught Vandy by surprise. 

That won't be the case here, as we know we are going to get the best the Commodores have to offer in this one. Even with that loss at home to the Rebels, Vanderbilt is still 8-2 at home, where they are averaging an impressive 86.1 ppg and shooting 50% from the field. 

Gamecocks are a mere 6-15 ATS in their last 21 vs a team that's shooting 45% or better from the field and they are 1-4 ATS last 5 trips to face the Commodores. Take Vanderbilt! 

3* NCAAB Situational ATS ANNIHILATOR on Akron -

Great spot to jump on the Zips at home. We can bank on a big time effort here from Akron coming off back-to-back upset losses on the road to Central Michigan and Northern Illinois. They should have no problem covering this number against an Eagles side that has been bad on the road. 

Eastern Michigan is a mere 1-5 SU and 1-5 ATS away from home. The Zips on the other hand are 7-1 at home this season. The defensive numbers really stand out here with the home/away splits. Eagles are giving up 80.7 ppg and 50.6% shooting on the road. Akron is allowing just 55.9 ppg and 34.7% shooting at home. 

Big time system in play here as well. Home favorites off 2 or more consecutive losses as a road favorite are 105-58 (64%) ATS dating all the way back to 1997.  Take Akron! 

3* NCAAB Power 5 PLAY OF THE DAY  on Pitt +

This is a great price to get the Panthers at home. This is a much improved Pitt team from a year. The Panthers were 8-24 overall and 0-18 in ACC play last season. They are off to an 11-5 start and while they are just 1-2 in league play, they have home loss to UNC and a close road loss at NC State. The win was a victory at home over Louisville as a dog. 

Florida State is a really good team, but I think it's really asking a lot for the Seminoles to go on the road here and blowout the Panthers. This is an absolutely brutal spot for FSU, who just suffered a gut-wrenching 80-78 loss to Duke at home, where the Blue Devils won the game on a last second 3-pointer. Those are the kind of losses that are difficult to bounce back from. 

I just don't think the energy will be there for the Seminoles and wouldn't be shocked at all if Pitt won this game outright. Panthers are 11-4 ATS last 15 overall, 12-3-1 ATS last 16 vs a team with a winning record and 5-0-1 ATS last 6 off a SU loss. FSU is 0-8 ATS last 8 as a road favorite and 0-6 ATS last 6 on the road after a home game where both teams scored 75+ points. Take Pittsburgh! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Fairfield +

Like the value here with the Stags getting points against the Bobcats. Fairfield comes in off back-to-back home wins and while they are just 3-6 SU in their last 9, they have covered 5 of their last 7.  

The Stags are 37-19 ATS last 56 road games after playing 2 straight games at home and 40-23 ATS in their last 63 road games off a win by 6 points or less. Quinnipiac has won 2 of their last 3, but are just 15-30 ATS when they come into a game having done so. 

This series has also been dominated by the road team, as the away side has covered 6 of the last 7 meetings. Stags have covered 4 straight at Quinnipiac. Take Fairfield! 

3* NCAAB Underdog PLAY OF THE DAY on Iona +

The books have the wrong team favored in this one, as my numbers show Iona should be a small favorite here. Gaels are just 4-10 overall, but are 2-1 in conference play and will have no problem picking apart a bad Golden Griffins defense that is giving up 80.6 ppg and allowing 48% shooting on their home floor. 

Canisius is 4-10 ATS last 14 games, 1-9 ATS last 10 off a SU loss and 0-8 ATS last 8 at home. 

Adding to this is a great system in play favoring a fade of the Golden Griffins. Home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a home loss against an opponent off an upset loss as a favorite have covered just 32.2% (29-61) of the time since 1997. Take Iona! 

4* NCAAB West Coast GAME OF THE WEEK on Pacific -

This is the perfect spot to jump on the Tigers as a small road favorite against the Pilots. Pacific should have no trouble winning this game, but are being undervalued by the books because they come in off an ugly 67-36 loss at Gonzaga, which was their 3rd straight overall. Note the other two were both against quality teams. 

This is also a big game for the Tigers, as they are still searching for that first conference win and while the same can be said about Portland, a lot less is expected of them. Pilots are a mere 4-10-1 ATS last 15 home games vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their road games  and 1-6 ATS last 7 after a SU loss by more than 20. Tigers are 4-1 ATS last 5 after scoring 50 or less and 5-1 ATS last 6 after a SU loss by more than 20 points. Take Pacific! 

3* NCAAB Vegas Oddsmakers ERROR on Northeastern -

The Huskies come in off a 81-70 win at Elon last time out and should have no problem securing another road win against William & Mary. The Tribe have a solid 5-3 SU record over their last 8, but are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10. 

The books have tipped their hand in recent meetings between these two, as the favorite is 7-3 ATS last 10 overall. Key here will be defense or the lack of it from William & Mary. The Tribe are allowing 80 ppg, as opposing teams are shooting 47% from the field and 38% from deep against them this season.

It's also worth pointing out that the Huskies are 19-8 ATS last 27 on the road after a conference road game and a perfect 7-0 ATS last 7 on the road with a line of +3 to -3. Take Northeastern! 

5* NCAAB Colonial Athletic GAME OF THE MONTH BEST BET on Towson +

The books have completely missed the mark here with the Tigers as a 5-point road dog. My numbers show this game should be a lot closer to a pick'em. James Madison has the better record, but that's simply because they played the much easier non-conference schedule. 

The Dukes won and covered their last time out, but are just 9-20 ATS in their last 29 off a game where they covered. James Madison is also a mere 1-7 ATS last 8 vs a team with a losing record and 0-7 ATS last 7 at home vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their road games. Take Towson! 

4* NCAAB Big 12 GAME OF THE WEEK on Oklahoma -

Oklahoma should have no problem covering this short number at home against TCU. The Sooners are showing some value here after starting out 1-2 in Big 12 play. They key is both losses came on the road in arguably the two toughest venues in the Big 12 at Kansas and Texas Tech. Both of which the Sooners could have easily won with a couple more breaks going their way at the end of the game. 

I look for Oklahoma to come out firing here at home against the Horned Frogs. The Sooners are a perfect 6-0 SU and 6-0 ATS in their 6 home games, where they are outscoring teams 78 to 62. TCU is a quality team, but that 12-2 record has them overvalued here on the road. They just lost at Kansas last time out 77-68, failing to cover as a mere 6.5-point favorite. 

Sooners are 10-1-2 ATS in their last 13 games vs a team with a winning record, while TCU is 1-5 ATS last 6 after a failed cover. Take Oklahoma! 

3* NCAAB Underdog PLAY OF THE DAY on Eastern Illinois +

Easy play here on the Panthers as a big road dog against the Gamecocks of Jacksonville State. Eastern Illinois is way undervalued right now. The Panthers come in having won 3 straight and and 6 of their last 7 overall. A stretch where they have covered 5 of 7, including outright wins as road dogs of 7.5 and 13 at Western Illinois and Bradley. 

Jacksonville State is a quality team and have gone 9-2 in their last 11, but they are simply being asked to lay too many points in this one. The Gamecocks are a mere 1-8 ATS in their last 9 home games off a conference win and 0-6 ATS last 6 off back-to-back conference wins. Take Eastern Illinois! 

4* NCAAB Small Conference PLAY OF THE WEEK on St Peters

The Peacocks are worth a look here as a decently priced road dog against the Stags. While St. Peter's comes winless away from home at 0-8, I'm confident they get their first road win of the season and at worst keep it within the number. A big reason for that is Fairfield has little to no home court edge here, as they are 1-4 at home this season. 

The Stags like to shoot it from deep, as they average 26 3-pointers a game. They area also a poor rebounding team, as they are getting beat on by an average of 5 boards/game. The Peacocks are 33-14 ATS last 47 road games (at least 15 games into the season) when facing a team that averages 21 or more 3-point attempts. They are also 14-4 ATS in their last 18 road games (at least 15 games into the season) against teams who are getting outrebounded by 4+ boards/game. Take St. Peter's! 

3* NCAAB Money Line SMASH on Northridge 

I like the Matadors to go into UC Riverside and get a win tonight. CS-Northridge has been a great team to back on the road once conference play rolls around. The Matadors are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games in the month of January. 

On the flip side of this, UC Riverside is just 1-9 ATS last 10 with a line of +3 to -3 and 0-8 in this spot at home. The Highlanders are also a mere 2-15 on the money line in their last 17 vs a team with a losing record. Take CS Northridge! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER  on Manhattan +

I like the value here with the Jaspers as a decently priced road dog against the Red Foxes. Manhattan snapped a 8-game losing streak with a 90-80 upset win at home over Niagara last time out and I wouldn't be shocked at all if they won this game outright. 

Marist just lost at home to Canisius as a favorite and are a mere 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Adding to this is a great system in play that suggest a fade of the Red Foxes. Favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off an upset loss at home to a conference opponent are a mere 32-65 (33%) ATS since 1997 when it's a match of two bad teams (win percent between 20% and 40%). Take Manhattan!

5* NCAAB Vegas Insider GAME OF THE MONTH on Niagara +

Love the value here with the Purple Eagles as a dog against the Stags. Fairfield is getting way too much credit on their home floor. The Stags are 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS in their 4 home games this season. 

Niagara is simply the better team and my numbers say they should be the ones favored in this matchup. The Purple Eagles have covered 4 of their last 5 on the road against a team with a losing home record. Niagara is also 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog and 6-0 ATS last 6 after two or more losses. 

On top of all that, we find a great long-term system backing the away team. Road teams of +3 to -3 that have allowed 75 or more points in 2 straight games are 66-34 (66%) ATS over the last 5 seasons when facing a team that just allowed 85 or more. Take Niagara! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Iowa +

Easy play here for me on the Hawkeyes as a home dog against Nebraska. Iowa comes in off an ugly 16-point loss at Purdue, but this is a team that will likely struggle to win a lot of games on the road in conference play. Keep in mind Iowa lost by 22 at Michigan State earlier this season and 3 days later whooped in-state rival ISU 98-84 at home. 

The Hawkeyes are simply a different team at home and it doesn't get much bigger for this for Iowa this early in the season. The Hawkeyes have started 0-3 in Big Ten play. They have to have this game. I like the Cornhuskers, but they have lost each of their first two Big Ten road games and playing their second straight away from home, as they were at Maryland on Wednesday. Take Iowa! 

5* NCAAB American Athletic GAME OF THE MONTH on Wichita 

I love the value here with the Shockers at a pick'em on their home floor. I think we are going to get a huge effort here from Wichita State coming off a couple of road losses to VCU and Memphis. Shockers didn't play up to their potential in either game. 

Temple is a quality team, but I think they are getting a little too much respect right now and this is not an easy spot for the Owls. Temple just played at UCF on Wednesday and have played a mere 1 home game since Nov. 16. 

Shockers are 5-1 at home this season and their defense has been outstanding at home. Wichita State is holding teams to 63.8 ppg and 40.1% shooting at home. I like the Shockers to not just win, but win comfortably. Take Wichita State! 

4* NCAAB BIG 12 GAME OF THE WEEK on Iowa State -

All you need to know is the No. 5 team in the country is a dog against a team that's not even ranked in the Top 25. The books don't make mistakes and while it's not a full proof system, these types of plays where the line looks way off cash the majority of the time. 

A closer look at Kansas' resume definitely suggests the Jayhawks could be overrated right now. They have been very fortunate in close games. Their only loss of the season also came in their only true road game. There's not many places tougher to play on the road than Iowa State's Hilton Coliseum.

Cyclones are a perfect 7-0 at home and their only two losses are to Arizona and Iowa. They just won at Oklahoma St, despite shooting 36.4% from the field. They also had a bunch of guys out early, which is why they are flying under the radar right now. Take Iowa State! 

4* NCAAB SEC GAME OF THE WEEK on Alabama +

Big time value here with the Crimson Tide as a decently priced home dog against the Wildcats. No surprise here that Kentucky is being way overvalued by the books off a couple of impressive wins over North Carolina and Louisville. 

If anything, that has the Wildcats primed for a letdown. Every SEC teams lays it on the line when Kentucky comes to town and the Crimson Tide roll into this one playing their best basketball of the season. Alabama has won 4 straight with impressive wins over both Arizona and Penn State. 

Crimson Tide are 5-1-1 ATS last 7 at home vs a team with a winning road record. I see this one coming right down to the wire with a decent chance the home team pulls off the upset. Take Alabama! 

3* NCAAB Undervalued UNDERDOG on Fairfield +

Easy play here on the Stags as a road dog here against the Gaels. Iona is just 3-9 on the season and have been as bad as it gets with a 1-10 ATS mark. That was with them covering in their last game. Fairfield has covered 4 straight and are a strong 6-3 ATS in their 9 road games so far this season. 

Stags have covered 7 of their last 8 road games vs a team with a losing home record, while the Gaels are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games and 1-7 ATS last 8 off a SU win. Take Fairfield! 

4* NCAAB Situational ATS NO-BRAINER on Loyola -

No need to overthink this one. The Lions are the better team and this is simply too good a price to pass up. Loyola-Marymount comes in at 12-2 with upset wins over UNLV, Georgetown and CS-Fullerton. 

The Waves had lost 5 of 6 before a cupcake win at home over Alabama A&M. Pepperdine is projected by many to be the worst team in the WCC. The Waves are getting way too much respect because of this game being on their home court. Pepperdine is a mere 1-5 ATS last 6 at home vs a team that's won more than 60% of their road games and the Lions are 5-1 ATS last 6 meetings with the Waves. Take Loyola-Marymount! 

4* NCAAB West Coast Conf GAME OF THE WEEK  on San Diego -

The Toreros should have zero problem cashing in a cover here as a short road favorite against the Broncos. San Diego was expected to be one of the top teams in the WCC and so far they look the part. The Toreros have opened up 11-4. 

Santa Clara is just 8-6, despite playing a weaker schedule. This is also a big let down spot for the Broncos, who just beat Washington State as a 8-point dog. Santa Clara is just 4-10-1 ATS 15 vs a team that's won more than 60% of their games. 

Toreros have covered 11 of their last 14 trips to Santa Clara and the road team has gone a remarkable 23-4-1 ATS in the last 28 meetings. Take San Diego! 

5* MAAC College Hoops GAME OF THE MONTH on Canisius +

The books have completely missed the mark here. My ratings say the Golden Griffens, despite their 3-8 record, should be favored in this matchup against 5-7 Marist.

Canisius has played a brutal schedule to this point and it simply has them way undervalued here. We just saw this team win outright as a dog at Elon and cover as a 7-point dog at Holy Cross a few days later. 

These two have a common opponent in Buffalo and while both loss, the Griffens lost by just 15, where the Red Foxes lost by 27 and managed just 49 points. Last year Canisus won both meetings and have won 4 of the last 5. 

Golden Griffins are 19-7 ATS last 26 road games vs a team with a winning home record and 5-1 ATS last 6 vs the MAAC. Take Canisius! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Xavier -

The Musketeers came into this season way overvalued by the books, but I think the public has caught on and the value is now back with Xavier. This is definitely a favorable price to be getting the Musketeers on their home floor, where they have gone 7-1 to start the season and the lone loss was to a really good Wisconsin team early on. 

Seton Hall comes in riding a 6-game winning streak, which is definitely keeping this line lower than it should be. What gets overlooked is 4 of the 6 wins came by 6-points or less and while they have won 6 straight they are just 2-4 ATS during this stretch. 

Pirates most recently won 76-74 at home over St. John's and that's worth noting, as Seton Hall is just 13-26 ATS in their last 39 off a conference win by 3-points or less. Musketeers enter off a 74-65 win at DePaul as a 2-point dog and are a dominant 11-1 ATS in their last 12 home games off an upset win as a conference dog. Take Xavier! 

4* NCAAB Big Ten GAME OF THE WEEK on Maryland 

I really like what I have seen from this young Terps team. Maryland is led by junior Anthony Cowan, but the rest of the key contributors are sophomores and freshmen. The Terps are 10-3 and will be a tough place for any team in the Big Ten to get a win. 

Nebraska comes in at 11-2 and ranked No. 24 in the country, but I don't think they are any better than this Maryland squad. Cornhuskers have some nice wins, but they also lost by 18 to Texas Tech on a neutral site and by 7 as 4-point road favorite at Minnesota. 

Terps come into this game having covered 5 of their last 6 and are a dominant 11-2 ATS in home games under Mark Turgeon when they enter the contest having covered 4 of their last 5. Take Maryland! 

3* NCAAB Undervalued UNDERDOG on Drexel +

I love the value here with the Dragons as a double-digit dog against the Pride. I just think because Hofstra has the better record at 11-3, are 8-0 at home, and come in riding a 8-game winning streak, we are seeing them way overvalued in this matchup. 

Drexel is just 6-8, but they have played the tougher schedule and while they aren't as talented as the Pride, they are more than capable of keeping this close. This has also been a good time to fade Hoftra. They are are 10-22 ATS last 32 at home off a conference win by 10 or more and 1-10 ATS last 11 at home after making 10 or more 3-pointers in back-to-back games. Take Drexel! 

3* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on La Tech -

This is too good a price to pass up on the Bulldogs at home in their conference opener against the Golden Eagles. Louisiana Tech comes in having won 6 straight and are a perfect 7-0 at home this season. The Bulldogs have absolutely dominated teams at home, as they are averaging an impressive 84.0 ppg, while only giving up 69.9 ppg. 

I just see no way Southern Miss can keep pace offensively. The Golden Eagles are a good defensive team, but they are only scoring 64.0 ppg away from home. Last 34 times Southern Miss has been a dog of 3.5 to 6 points they have only covered 10. Eagles are also 0-6 ATS last 6 road games vs teams who average 8 or more made 3-pointers. Take Louisiana Tech! 

3* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Towson -

The Tigers are showing big time value here at basically a pick'em on the road against the Phoenix. Both teams have just 4-wins on the season, but Towson is playing the better basketball and have also played the tougher schedule. 

The Tigers won't be looking past Elon this time, as they were upset last year at home as a 9-point favorite by the Phoenix. Towson has covered 5 of their last 7 and are use to playing away from home, as 9 of their first 12 have been on the road. 

This one should come down to defense and the Tigers being able to get stops. Elon is giving up 82.3 ppg on their home floor. Phoenix are also just 7-16 ATS last 23 as a dog and 4-12 ATS last 16 with a line of +3 to -3. Take Towson! 

3* NCAAB Vegas LINE MISTAKE on Drexel +

I absolutely love the value here with the Dragons as a double-digit dog against the Huskies. Northeastern has been way overvalued by the books in 2018 and that's evident by the fact that they are just 4-7 ATS overall, including a 1-3 ATS mark at home. They come in just 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9. 

Dragons can light up the scoreboard, as they come in averaging 79.5 ppg. That's worth noting, as that should allow them to keep it close and we see that Northeastern is just 5-16 ATS in their last 21 home games vs teams who average 77 or more points/game. 

There's also a big time system in play. Road underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points, who are coming off a game where they allowed 80+ points and facing an opponent that has scored 30 or less in the 1st half of their last two are 65-29 (69%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Take Drexel! 

5* NCAAB Vegas Insider GAME OF THE MONTH on James Madison +

The Dukes should have zero problem here covering on the road against the Tribe. James Madison comes in off an ugly 75-48 loss at Fordham as a mere 3.5-point dog and that's definitely playing into this inflated number on William & Mary. 

It's been a wise move to jump on the Dukes in this spot, as they are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 off a SU loss and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 off a loss by 20 points or more. 

We are also talking about a William & Mary team that has only won 4 games all season. Note that these two teams have played 3 common opponents. The Dukes are 1-2 vs those teams and the Tribe are 0-3. 

William & Mary is also a mere 1-4 ATS last 5 vs a team with a winning straight up record and the Dukes are a rock solid 8-3 ATS in their last 11 vs a team from the CAA. Take James Madison! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on St. Mary's -

St. Mary's should have no problem here leaving with a win at Western Kentucky on Saturday. The Gaels have won 5 of their last 6 and are fres off a 85-56 thrashing of Bucknell, which is worth noting, as St Mary's has gone a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last 4 off a SU win by more than 20 points. 

The Hilltoppers have lost 5 of their last 7. Last time they were at home we saw them lose outright 87-81 to Troy as a 9.5-point favorite. WKU is a bad defensive team. They are allowing 77.3 ppg and 47.7% shooting at home this season.

The Gaels average 78.2 ppg and are shooting 50% from the field and 40% from deep on the year. I just don't see the Hilltoppers being able to keep pace and with this number all we really need is for the Gaels to win outright. Take St. Mary's! 

3* NCAAB Underdog PLAY OF THE DAY on Georgia +

The Yellow Jackets are getting way too much respect here at home against their in-state rivals. Georgia Tech comes in off an impressive 69-65 win as a 9-point dog at Arkansas, but are still just 2-3 in their last 5, including a 10-point home loss to Gardner Webb. 

Georgia has won 3 of their last 4 and covered all 4 during this stretch. The only loss coming by a mere 2-points to a really strong Arizona State team. I know both teams are down from last year, but keep in mind that Georgia has owned this series the last two years. The Bulldogs won 60-43 in 2016 and 80-59 a year ago. We don't even need them to win, just keep it close. 

Bulldogs are 23-12 ATS in their last 35 as an underdog, while the Yellow Jackets are a mere 1-8 ATS when playing their 3rd game in a week span. Take Georgia! 

4* NCAAB Vegas ATS HEAVY HITTER on Mercer - 

The Bears should have zero problem covering this short number at home against the Seahawks. These two teams have a common opponent, as both have played on the road against Georgia State. Mercer lost by 2, while NC-Wilmington lost by 15. I think the line here is closer to what it should be if these two were playing on a neutral court and even then it's a little low. 

The big key here is only one of these teams plays defense. Mercer is only giving up 67.4 ppg and that number drops down to 61.6 ppg at home. The Seahawks are allowing 82.3 ppg on the season, as opposing teams are shooting 47% against them. They are losing on average by 10 ppg away from home and this one should be no different. Take Mercer! 

4* NCAAB Early Bird ATS NO-BRAINER on St. Bonny +

The Huskies are a mere 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games, as the books continue to give them way too much respect. St Bonaventure comes in with a mere 4-7 record and haven't won a game away from home, but this is a team they can easily come away with a win against. 

The Bonnies have covered 4 of their last 5 and are 4-1 ATS last 5 vs a team with a losing record. Both of these teams last played on the road against Vermont. St Bonaventure lost 83-76 and Northeastern fell 75-70. Two very similar scores, which is no surprise, as these are two very evenly matched teams. 

Keep in mind these two teams played last year about this same time and the Bonnies won 84-65, easily covering as a 8.5-point favorite. Take St. Bonaventure! 

4* NCAAB Late Night GAME OF THE WEEK on Pepperdine +

My projections have Pepperdine winning the game outright, so this is an easy play for me on the Waves as a decently priced dog. Pepperdine comes in at 6-6, but are undervalued due to losing 4 of their last 5 and failing to cover each of their last 4. 

Long Beach State is just 3-9 on the season and have no business being this big of a favorite. The 49ers are just 1-6 in their last 7. The play little to no defense, as Long Beach is allowing 79.2 ppg and that's a problem against a Waves team that is scoring 79.2 ppg. Take Pepperdine! 

3* NCAAB Late Night BAILOUT BLOWOUT on UCLA +

I really like the value here with the Bruins here. While Cincinnati comes in off a loss at Mississippi State, they are still 9-2 on the season and 6-2 ATS in their last 8. They are still overvalued, as this is too many points for UCLA to be catching. 

The Bearcats were only a 2.5-point dog to Mississippi State and lost by 11, shooting just 37.3% from the field. Their other loss this year is a 8-point home defeat to Ohio State as a 4.5-point favorite and they shot a mere 27.4% in that game. I just don't think this team is as good as people think, but they went 31-5 last year, so they are getting some love. Take UCLA! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on Omaha +

The books have the wrong team favored in this one. Nebraska-Omaha enters with a mere 4-7 record, but they have only played 3 games on their home floor leading up to this contest. They have also played nearly half (5) of their games against Power 5 opponents. 

They were able to snap a 4-game skid with a 89-80 win at Idaho as a mere 1-point favorite in their last game and I expect a big time effort here from the Mavericks in their first home game since they hosted and annihilated Montana State 89-65 as a 8-point favorite back on Nov. 24th. 

This is a long way from home for the Gauchos and I just think it's a really tough spot for them to play well. I think given that they have won 7 of 8, they might not give the Mavs their full attention, especially given the books made them the favorite. Take Nebraska-Omaha! 

3* NCAAB Vegas LINE MISTAKE on Xavier +

I like the value here with the Musketeers at basically a pick'em on the road against the Tigers. Xavier was way overvalued to start the year and that was evident by their 0-4-1 ATS start. 

While the Musketeers have won 5 of their last 6 and are a respectable 4-2 ATS during this run, they are still flying under the radar from their slow start. It's not as bad as it looks. They are 7-4, but the 4 losses have come against Wisconsin, Auburn, San Diego State and Cincinnati. 

I don't think Missouri is on the same level as those teams. WE have already seen the Tigers lose at home to Temple. They also lost by 15 to Kansas State and by 17 to ISU. Missouri is just 4-11-1 ATS last 16 non-conference games and 1-7-1 ATS last 9 at home vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their road games. Take Xavier! 

4* NCAAB Situational HEAVY HITTER  on Georgetown -

I got no problem laying double-digits here with the Hoyas at home against the Mountaineers. We can bank on a big effort here from Georgetown after losing their last two, including an upset loss last time out at home against SMU. 

They should have no problem bouncing back with a big win. Appalachian State has played 6 road games and lost all 6. The Mountaineers are giving up 85 ppg on the road and the Hoyas are averaging 82.8 ppg at home. Georgetowns defense will be able to limit App St and that's where they will create the separation needed to cover. 

Mountaineers are 7-20-2 ATS last 29 road games vs a team with a winning home record and a mere 2-10 ATS last 12 road games after winning 2 of their last 3. Take Georgetown! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on SIU-Edwardsville +

The Bulldogs are getting way too much respect here from the books. Drake should be able to win this game, but it's asking a lot for them to win by 14 or more.

This line is simply inflated due to the fact that the Bulldogs come in having covered 6 straight and SIU Edwardsville a mere 2-5 overall. The Cougars only lost by 5 at Valpo as an almost identical 14.5-point dog. They are 4-0 ATS last 4 vs a team that's won more than 60% of their games. 

There's also a huge system in play favoring a fade of Drake. Home favorites that have won between 60% to 80% of their games and enter having covered 6 or 7 of their last 8 are a mere 19-47 (29%) ATS when facing a bad team that's won between 20% to 40% of their games. Take SIU Edwardsville! 

3* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Cal-Irvine -

The Anteaters should have zero problem beating the Pioneers by the number here. UC-Irvine is sitting at 9-2 on the season with an outright win on the road against Texas A&m. Denver is 4-9 an and are simply outclassed here. 

These two team played about this time last year and the Anteaters won by 14 on the road, easily covering as a a 5-point dog. Irvine has covered 8 of their last 10 against a team with a losing record and 4-1 ATS last 5 vs a team from the Summit. Pioneers are 5-16 ATS last 21 in non-conference play. Take UC-Irvine! 

4* NCAAB Situational ATS NO-BRAINER on Virginia Tech -

The Hokies should have zero problem here covering the spread at home against the Huskies. Virginia Tech's only loss on the season is a mere 1-point defeat at Penn State. No surprise, as this is what many thought to be the 4th best team in the ACC behind Duke, UNC and Virginia. 

There was some hype with Washington, but the Huskies have struggled to come away with wins when they take a step up in competition. They have lost at Auburn and Gonzaga, as well as a neutral site game against Minnesota. 

Note that these two played on a neutral court last year and it wasn't close. The Hokies won 103-79 as a 7-point favorite. They are simply the much better team and what is normally a strong homeport advantage gets even stronger when you factor in how far the Huskies have had to travel for this one. 

Washington is 1-5 ATS last 6 vs a team that's won 60% or more of their games and 4-13 ATS last 17 vs top caliber teams who are outscoring opponents by 12+ points/game. Hokies are 13-5 ATS last 18 non-conference and 9-2 ATS last 11 after playing 3 straight games as a favorite. Take Virginia Tech! 

3* NCAAB Early Bird ATS ANNIHILATOR on SMU +

The Hoyas simply are a great team to fade at home, especially as a favorite in non-conference play. Georgetown is 6-17 ATS in their last 23 as a home favorite and 4-13 ATS last 17 at home in non-conference play. 

Last time out the Hoyas suffered a crushing 72-71 loss at Syracuse and are 0-5 ATS last 5 off a loss. SMU on the other hand is an impressive 56-32 ATS L88 road games and have gone 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 games played on a Saturday. 

While the Mustangs are just 6-4, they have played the tougher schedule to this point. I see no reason they can't make a game of this and I think worst case they lose by 5 or less, with a really good shot they win the game outright. Take SMU! 

4* NCAAB Small Conference HIDDEN ATS GEM on Morehead State +

The records here would suggest that Samford is the far superior team, as the Bulldogs enter with an 8-2 record and Morehead State is limping in at 3-6. That's definitely playing into this line and creating big time value here with the Eagles.

The reason the Bulldogs are 8-2 is they haven't played anybody outside of one road game against Ohio State. Morehead State's already played 3 true road games against UConn, Syracuse and Marshall and it's worth noting they were competitive in all 3, losing by just 10 the Huskies, 14 to the Orange and 8 to the Thundering Herd. 

I not only think they are are capable of covering the spread, but I like them to win outright. Eagles are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 13 road games and 8-3 in their last 11 vs a team that's won more than 60% of their games. Take Morehead State! 

3* NCAAB Vegas LINE MISTAKE on Columbia +

I love the value here with the Lions as a big road dog against the Eagles. Columbia comes in with a mere 3-6 record, but it's a very misleading mark. The Lions largest margin of defeat is a mere 11-points and 3 of the 6 losses have come by 2-points or less. 

I think they are more than capable of keeping this within the number. Columbia is a great 3-point shooting team. They come in averaging 11 made 3-pointers a game and are shooting 39% as a team from long distance. BC hasn't exactly faired well against teams that can shoot from deep, as they are a mere 12-28 ATS in their last 40 home games against teams who average 8 or more 3-pointers a game. 

The Eagles are also a bit overvalued because of their hot start. they are 6-2 overall and have won 4 of their last 5. BC is 15-31 in their last 46 home games when they come in having gone 4-1 in their previous 5 games. Take Columbia! 

3* NCAAB Underdog PLAY OF THE DAY on Penn +

I like the Quakers here to at least keep this within the number. This is not the same caliber a Villanova team that we have seen the past few years. While they are 8-2 to start the year, we have seen them lose by 27 to Michigan at home as well as by 8 as a 16-point home favorite to Furman. 

Penn has had this one circled since the schedule was released and are coming in playing with a ton of confidence. They have won 4 straight with the last two being a 14-point win at home over Miami and a 18-point win on the road over LaSalle. The Quakers were embarrassed last year by the Wildcats, losing 90-62 at Villanova, so that's even more incentive for them to lay it all on the line in this one. 

Quakers are 6-1 ATS last 7 off a SU win, 5-1 ATS last 6 at home and 7-2 ATS last 9 non-conference games. Take Penn! 

4* NCAAB No Doubt ATS BLOWOUT on Texas +

This is the ideal spot to jump on the Longhorns. Since upsetting North Carolina to improve to 5-0, Texas has lost 3 straight, including back-to-back home losses to VCU and Radford as double-digit favorites. If that doesn't humble the Longhorns nothing will. 

I expect a extremely motivated and locked in Texas team to take the floor here at home against the Boilermakers. Purdue is a one-man show. Carsen Edwards averages 23.9 ppg. The only other player in double-figures is Ryan Cline at 14 ppg. I think that's a tough way to win against good teams, especially on the road and Purude has lost both of their true road games, as well as a neutral site game to Va Tech. 

Longhorns are 26-13 ATS in their last 39 as a home underdog with a very profitable 15-5 ATS mark as a home dog of 3 points or less. Take Texas! 

4* NCAAB Situational ATS NO-BRAINER on Tennessee +

The public is coming in on the #1 ranked Bulldogs at close to a 80% clip and I'm putting my trust in the books that they have set this line to where they are confident the Vols will cash. I'm on board, as I like Tennessee to win this game outright. 

The Vols are no pushover. They are 6-1 and their only loss is a mere 6-point defeat to Kansas on a neutral field. They only lost by 6 to the Jayhawks, despite shooting just 41% from the field and Kansas was a red-hot 50%. Gonzaga has a bunch of big wins on their resume, including that upset of Duke, but they are due for a loss and they were lucky to get by Washington 81-79 at home as a 16-point favorite in their last game. 

Vols are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 road games when the previous two were against non-conference opponents. They are also 210-8-2 ATS in their last 30 off a SU win by more than 20 points and 8-1 ATS in their last 90 after holding their previous opponent to 25 or less 1st half points. Take Tennessee! 

4* NCAAB Situational VEGAS INSIDER on UNLV +

There's no reason for Illinois to be laying close to double-digits at home against the Rebels. I get the Illini have played a pretty tough schedule, but they are just 2-7 and have been way overvalued by the books in their slow start. Illinois is just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. 

UNLV is 4-3 and off back-to-back losses to Valparaiso and Cincinnati, but they played both of them close and didn't shoot well in either game. Illinois has let opponents shoot 49% from the field, so good chance the Rebels get going offensively in this one. 

Rebels are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games vs a struggling defensive team that is giving up 77 or more points/game and are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 vs a team from the Big Ten. Illinois is 0-4 ATS last 4 at home and 1-4 ATS last 5 off a double-digit loss at home. Take UNLV! 

4* NCAAB Underdog PLAY OF THE WEEK on Seton Hall +

I really like the value here with the Pirates catching a big number on a neutral court against the Wildcats, as these two get ready to face off at Madison Square Garden. Kentucky is 7-1 with the only setback being that ugly 118-84 loss to Duke in their season opener, but I'm still not quite sold on this team. 

The Wildcats have played absolutely no one since that game against Duke and are just 3-5 ATS on the season. Set Hall has one bad loss at Nebraska and a couple of close calls against St Louis and Louisville. No question the Pirates are going to put everything they have into pulling off the upset here and this is a tough spot for Kentucky. Wildcats last played on Dec. 1 and won't play again after this one until Dec. 15. 

Pirates are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 neutral site games and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 vs a team that's won more than 60% of their games. Kentucky is 5-15 ATS in their last 20 road games after scoring 75+ in 4 straight. Take Seton Hall!
