70-62-2 on NCAAB last season up 8.95 units

17-15-1 this season up 13.09 units

Maryland/Oklahoma State/Penn State Parlay risking 6 units to win 3.58 units.

Marquette -19.5 at -110 for 2.2 units. Markus Howard. Line was 21. I’ll take the point and half.

North Carolina -157 for 2 units. Ohio State have looked great this season, but Cole Anthony is a walking bucket. BRob being back for UNC helps their defense. UNC’s big men have been improving this season, especially the freshman Bacot. I expect North Carolina to get more easy baskets and win the game. Ohio State’s first game on the road as well.

Virginia +121 for 2 units. UVA is one of the few teams that can guard Matt Haarms. VCU struggled against the big man, UVA will do better. Florida State had 16 steals against Purdue. Got to take Virginia’s defense at plus money here.

South Carolina -125 for 2 units. I have predicted every South Carolina basketball game correctly this season, including their loss to Boston U and UNI. I like them to win two in a row here on the road. Maik Kotsar and AJ Lawson looked good against GW.

Morehead State -305 for 2 units. IUPUI has only 2 wins on the season. Morehead State have lost 4 in a row, but are favored in this one for a reason.

61-53-2 on NBA in 2017/18 up 9.28 units

30-28-2 on NBA in 2018/19 up 4.16 units 

7-7-1 on NBA in 2019/20 down 3.91 units

Mavericks/Rockets/Clippers Parlay risking 6 units to win 8.43 units. All 3 of these teams are more favored than they were when the line opened. No reverse line movement in any of them. Luka, Harden, and Kawhi are all playing well. Carmelo got Western Conference player of the week, but the Blazers won’t beat the Clippers. Harden dropped like 45 a game on over 70% TS last week and didn’t win the relatively meaningless player of the week award.

Rockets -6 at -110 for 4 units. You can bet against Harden. I am not. The Pistons smacked the Spurs last time out. Rockets > Pistons. San Antonio’s problem in that Pistons game? Allowing 15 3s. The Rockets excel in shooting 3s. Ben McLemore is playing better. Clint Capela and Danuel House should be back for this one. Not going to overthink this one. The line has moved from -2 to -6.5 as of now.

Michigan went from unranked to the the #4 team in the country. The Biggest jump since Kansas in 1989. Kansas beat Kentucky 150-95, among other things, to jump that high. Roy Williams likes to score. Safe to say the over hit in that one. Reddit user Homebrewingislife recalled this, Pitino was out of timeouts and Roy offered to call one for him. Pitino flipped Roy the bird and Roy promptly benched the walk-ons and re-inserted the starters and told them to run up the score. Gotta love it.

Short write-ups today. Sorry.

St Johns -20.5 for 2 units. St Johns is too good.

William & Mary +115 for 4 units. William & Mary’s height will cause problems for ODU.

Louisville -255 for 4 units. Michigan can take the 1 ranking with a win, but I think they lose.

Dook +6.5 at -110 for 4 units. Give me the points. I expect this game to be close.

12-14-1 this season down 4.33 units

Marquette -4 at -110 for 5 units. Davidson return some key players from last year’s team, but they lack the size and defense to stop Marquette. Brendan Bailey finally broke out of his cold-slump for Marquette against Robert Morris. Markus Howard is a great guard for the Golden Eagles. Jon Axel Gudmundsson and Kellan Grady are great guards for Davidson, but I expect Marquette’s advantage on defense to be the difference.

Dook lost to Stephen F. Austin in overtime. Love it.

North Carolina -9 at -115 for 3 units. UNC slipped up this time last year, getting smacked by Michigan. This team knows this. UNC won’t want to lose the day after their arch-rival. Roy knows how to get his teams ready for these type of tournaments. Alabama has lost to Penn and Rhode Island this season. They gave up over 80 points in both those games. The over/under for this game is set at a silly high 155 points. Alabama plays at just as fast a pace as UNC does this season. UNC should get 80 points at least. UNC has not covered in their last 3 games, that changes today. Cole Anthony is going to be the best player on the court. North Carolina’s defense, especially with the Robinson back in the lineup, and Cole Anthony/Armando Bacot’s scoring get UNC their first cover since their opener.

Maine/Virginia over 106 at -105 for 3 units. Alright. This is the lowest under/over by 20 points today. Overs are 1-5 for UVA this year.. so why take the over? The one over that won was at 109.5 against Vermont. Vermont is close to Maine. This number is so damn low the final score could be 63-44 and it would hit. I ain’t scared. Are you?

Seton Hall +1.5 at -110 for 2 units. Seton Hall has smacked everyone by 17 or more, except for their loss to Michigan State. Oregon hasn’t played a game outside of Oregon until now. Payton Pritchard is fun to watch for Oregon, Bill Walton has called him a midget before. Myles Powell will be the best big man on the floor. He is averaging over 22 points a game for Seton Hall. I like taking the team that has a strong inside scorer in these “coin-flip neutral floor” games.
