Cappers Sports Picks

20* TEXAS TECH/VIRGINIA CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Texas Tech vs Virginia over 118 -110

My money is on the OVER in Monday's National Championship Game between the Red Raiders and Cavaliers. Everyone knows how good these two teams are on the defensive side of the ball. Both just went UNDER the total in their Final Four matchup. The books know this will likely be a rare time when the UNDER gets a lot of action and they have set the line accordingly. Too much value here to pass up on the OVER, as this should at least get into 120s. Bet the OVER 118! 

20* AUBURN/VIRGINIA FINAL 4 WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Virginia -5 -110

My money is on Virginia to cash in an easy win and cover here against the Tigers. It's been quite a run for Auburn getting to this point, but I just think the loss of Okeke will be too much for them to overcome. Cavaliers really put a lot of pressure on themselves to get to the Final 4 after what happened last year. They should be as relaxed as they have been. I just think they take Auburn completely out of their comfort zone in this one, as they aren't going give the Tigers easy looks from deep and don't turn the ball over. Bet Virginia -5! 

20* DEPAUL/USF CBI CHAMP WISEGUY TOP PLAY on DePaul +2 -110

My money is on the Blue Demons to cash in an easy win and cover here at basically a pick'em against the Bulls. DePaul has covered 9 of their last 13 against a team that's won more than 60% of their games. USF is just 3-9 ATS last 12 overall and a mere 2-6 ATS last 8 at home. Last game the Bulls went a mere 3 of 17 (17.6%) from behind the 3-point line. USF is 0-6 ATS last 3 seasons after a game where they shot 20% or worse from deep. Bet DePaul +2! 

20* AUBURN/KENTUCKY CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Kentucky -2½ -110

My money is on the Wildcats to cash in an easy win and cover against SEC rival Auburn. I just the Tigers are in a really tough spot here having just lost one of their best player in Okeke. I also think this is a really bad matchup for Auburn, as they rely on the 3-point shot and Kentucky is really good at contesting teams from long range. Bet the Wildcats -2.5! 

20* VA TECH/DUKE NCAAB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Duke -7 -110

My money is on the Blue Devils to cash in an easy win and cover here against the Hokies. I think a lot of people are quick to jump off Duke after watching them get lucky in a win over UCF, but Va Tech doesn't have a 7'6 big man to patrol the paint. Let's also not forget that Duke was a 3-point road favorite against the Hokies without Zion and the number here on a neutral site is not been adjusted with Zion in the fold. Blue Devils are going to respond to the near upset and roll to a win. Bet Duke -7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Florida State +7 -110

My money is on the Seminoles to cash in an easy cover here against No. 1 seed Gonzaga. Florida State knocked out the Bulldogs in the Sweet 16 last year and I think they do it again. Gonzaga hasn't been tested in months playing in the WCC and facing Farlieigh Dickinson and Baylor in the first two rounds. I know 3 ACC teams got a No. 1 seed, but you could argue that FSU has been playing just as well as those top 3 for quite awhile now (15-2 last 17 games). Bet the Seminoles +7! 

20* COASTAL CAROLINA/DEPAUL CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on DePaul -7½ -105

My money is on the Blue Demons to cash in an easy win and cover here against the Chanticleers in the semis of the CBI Tournament. DePaul is simply the better team and it's showed early on in this tournament with a 14-point win over Central Michigan and a 8-point win over Longwood. Coastal Carolina blew their load in the last game, scoring 109 and shooting 58% from the field. No way they shoot anywhere close to that. Bet DePaul -7.5! 

20* FIU/GREEN BAY CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Florida International +4 -109

My money is on the Panthers to cash in an easy win and cover here against the Phoenix. I just think Wisconsin Green Bay is getting way too much respect because they are 12-3 at home this season. FIU is the better team and are 21-10 ATS last 31 as a dog and 20-9 ATS last 29 on the road against a team that has a winning home record. Bet FIU +4! 

20* UTAH VALLEY/USF CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on South Florida -2 -109

My money is on the Bulls to cash in an easy win and cover against the Wolverines. USF has failed to cover 4 straight with the most recent being a mere 3-point win against Stony Brook as a 7.5-point favorite. I believe it has them undervalued here, as we basically just need an outright win to get a cover here. Bet South Florida -2!

20* IOWA/TENNESSEE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Tennessee -8 -107

My money is on the Volunteers to cash in an easy win and cover against the Hawkeyes. Iowa really struggled to not only beat the top team in the Big Ten, they struggled to keep those games competitive. The most recent example being a 21-point blowout loss to Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament. Tennessee is one of the best teams in the country and it's going to take some ridiculous shooting by Iowa for them to keep it close. Iowa shot 55% against Cincinnati, but had shot 36% or worse in 3 of their previous 4. Bet Tennessee -8! 

20* MARYLAND/LSU CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Maryland +2½ -105

My money is on the Terps to cash in an easy win and cover here against LSU in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Maryland was one of the best stories in the country, as this team was way better than expected and it has to do with the fact they are getting production from six freshman. They didn't have the best finish to the regular-season, but he win over Belmont erases all of that, especially with how they trailed most of the game. Momentum is now on their side and I just don't like LSU with all the off the court drama that's going on. Bet Maryland +2.5! 

20* ST LOUIS/VA TECH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Virginia Tech -10½ -108

My money is on the Hokies to cash in an easy win and cover against the Billikens. On one hand you have an underrated Virginia Tech team that simply gets overlooked because of how strong the ACC is at the top. One of the more impressive things this season was how this team lost their senior starting point guard and remained competitive. Justin Robinson is making his return for the NCAA Tournament and this is a St Louis team that wouldn't be in the tournament if it wasn't for winning their conference tournament. Bet Virginia Tech -10.5! 

20* MURRAY ST/MARQUETTE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Murray State +5 -110

My money is on the Racers to cash in an easy cover and likely win the game outright against Marquette. Typically when Marquette plays they have the best player on the court in Markus Howard, but I think that has to be the Racers Ja Morant. Howard is also dealing with a wrist injury that he says is all good, but I'm not buying it. Marquette is also not trending in the right direction. Golden Eagles completely shit the bed and lost their final 4 regular-season games to give Villanova the Big East title. They then lost to Seton Hall in the Big East Tournament with Howard shooting a mere 1 for 9 from deep. Bet Murray State +5! 

20* WRIGHT ST/CLEMSON CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Wright State +14½ -109

My money is on the Raiders of Wright State to cover the 14.5 point spread at Clemson in the opening round of the NIT Tournament on Tuesday. I just think this is way to many points for a Tigers team to be laying, when there's a good chance they won't show up. Clemson came into this season with the expectations of making the NCAA Tournament (ranked in Top 25). While they could have won a few more games, they have to feel like going 9-9 in what was easily the toughest conference in the country, should have been good enough to get them in the Big Dance. Just two days removed from that bad news, I think they come out flat and could easily lose this game outright. Bet Wright State +14.5! 

20* CS-FULLERTON/CAL-IRVINE CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on CS-Fullerton +8½ -109

My money is on CS-Fullerton to cash in an easy cover here as a near double-digit dog against the Anteaters. The Titans have caught fire in the Big West Tournament. First they knocked off cal Davis as a 1.5-point favorite and then they upset Santa Barbara 64-58 as a 4-point dog. Fullerton played Cal-Irvine tough on the road in the most recent meeting and were only a 6-point dog in that contest. This is simply too many points to pass up. Bet CS-Fullerton +8.5! 

20* WISCONSIN/MICHIGAN ST CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Michigan State -4½ -110

My money is on the Spartans to cash in an easy win and cover as a small favorite against the Badgers. Michigan State is simply the better team and are undervalued here after failing to cover as a double-digit favorite against Ohio State on Friday. Spartans won 67-59 at Wisconsin back in February and will have no problem winning by at least that many in this one. Bet Michigan STate -4.5! 

20* FLORIDA/LSU CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Florida +3 -115

15* OHIO ST/MICHIGAN ST CBB SHARP PLAY on Michigan State -11 -110

20* E CAROLINA/WICHITA ST CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on East Carolina +11 -110

My money is on the Pirates to cash in an easy cover here as a double-digit dog against the Shockers. The books have really inflated the line here on Wichita State with how bad ECU has been. Shockers are just 4-13 ATS last 17 after winning 8 of their last 10. Bet East Carolina +11! 

15* ST. JOE'S/DUQUESNE CBB SHARP PLAY on St. Joe's -1½ -107

My money is on the Hawks to cash in an easy win and cover here at basically a pick'em against the Dukes. St. Joe's comes in off a 12-point loss at VCU, but are 38-22 last 50 on the road off a loss by 10 or more. Duquesne on the other hand is 3-10 ATS last 13 when they come in having failed to cover 2 of their last 3. Bet St. Joe's -1.5! 

15* CS-NORTHRIDGE/UC SANTA BARBARA CBB SHARP PLAY on CS-Northridge +5½ -110

My money is on the Matadors cashing in an easy cover as a 5.5-point dog against the Gauchos. Northridge has been a covering a machine. Matadors have covered 3 in a row and are 18-5 ATS last 23 overall. While Northridge has been undervalued, Santa Barbara has gone just 3-6 ATS last 9. Gauchos won the most recent meeting 76-74, but that's just fine, as the Matadors are 7-1 ATS when revenging a loss where they allowed 75 or more. Bet Northridge +5.5! 

20* WASHINGTON ST/OREGON CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Washington State +11½ -108

My money is on the Cougars to cash in an easy cover here as a double-digit dog against the Ducks. Oregon is the hot team in the Pac-12 and the one everyone wants to be on going into the tournament. It has the Ducks way overvalued in this one. I'm not saying they won't win, but expect Washington State to keep it a lot closer than the number. Bet the Cougars +11.5! 

15* LOUISIANA TECH/FAU CBB SHARP PLAY on Louisiana Tech -4 -109

My money is on the Bulldogs to cash in an easy win and cover against the Owls in the opening round of the C-USA Tournament. These two teams just recently played and the Bulldogs won on the road by 3. While that was the regular-season finale for LA Tech, FAU had to play again. Owls will be on just 3 days rest, while the Bulldogs are on 6 days of rest. FAU is also just 2-8 ATS last 10 neutral site games and 10-25 ATS in their last 35 vs a team with a winning record. Bet Louisiana Tech -4! 

20* ALCORN ST/PRAIRIE VIEW A&M SHARP TOP PLAY on Alcorn State +16½ -110

My money is on the Braves to cash in an easy cover here as a massive dog against the Panthers. No question Prairie View A&M is the better team, but I think that plays into our favor, as the Panthers are going to have a hard time getting up for a team they just beat by 34 points a few days ago. Bet Alcorn State +16.5

20* BALL ST/E MICHIGAN CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Ball State +3 -113

My money is on the Cardinals to cash in an easy win and cover against the Eagles. Home teams with a line of +3 to -3 that are coming off a road cover where they lost straight up as a dog and have only won between 40-49% of their games are just 40% ATS (136-204) dating back to 1997. Eastern Michigan is also just 1-4 ATS last 5 home games vs a team with a losing road record. Bet Ball State +3! 

20* LIBERTY/LIPSCOMB CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Liberty +7 -108

My money is on the Flames to cash in an easy cover here as a 7-point dog against the Bison. Liberty has covered 4 of their last 5 vs a team with a winning record, while Lipscomb has gone a mere 1-7 ATS lsat 8 conference games, 1-6 ATS last 7 at home and 1-5 ATS last 6 off a SU win. Bet Liberty +7! 

15* TULSA/MEMPHIS CBB SHARP PLAY on Tulsa +8 -109

My money is on the Golden Hurricane to cash in an easy cover here as a near double-digit dog at Memphis. These two played back in January and Tulsa won 95-79 as a 2.5-point dog. I get the Tigers are a much better team at home, but this line is asking them to return the favor and win in a blowout. I don't see that happening. Bet Tulsa +8! 

20* SIENA/RIDER CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Rider -1½ -108

My money is on the Broncs to cash in an easy win and cover here at basically a pick'em at home against the Saints. Rider has won 4 of the last 5 and are off a double-digit win at Marist as a 2.5-point favorite. Siena is just 4-13 TS last 17 in games with a line of +3 to -3. Bet Rider -1.5! 

15* TCU/TEXAS CBB SHARP PLAY on Texas -6 -109

My money is on the Longhorns to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Horned Frogs. Texas comes in off an ugly 19-point loss at Texas Tech and we can bank on them responding in a big way. Longhorns are a perfect 5-0 ATS last 5 off a SU loss. They are also 4-0 ATS last 4 at home vs a team with a losing record. TCU is 1-6 last 7 conference games overall and just 1-5 ATS last 6 on the road. Bet Texas -6! 

15* NOTRE DAME/PITTSBURGH CBB SHARP PLAY on Pittsburgh -2 -110

My money is on the Panthers to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Fighting Irish. Pittsburgh comes into this one having lost 13 straight, as they last beat FSU at home back on Jan. 14th. There's no doubt in my mind this team is going to do whatever it takes in their home finale/senior day to put an end to the losing streak, especially knowing that they are up against a team they can beat in Notre Dame, who has lost 6 straight and are just 2-12 in their last 14 overall. Bet the Panthers -2! 

20* BROWN/PRINCETON CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Brown +4½ -110

My money is on the Bears to cash in an easy cover here against the Tigers and likely win the game outright. Brown comes in having 2on 4 of their last 5 and already took down the Tigers by 8 once this season. Princeton also in a bit of a flat spot off a tough loss at Harvard. Tigers just 2-9 ATS last 11 off a road loss, while Brown is 16-6 last 22 on the road off a home win. Bet the Bears +4.5! 

15* CAL-IRVINE/CAL POLY CBB ATS WINNER on Cal Poly +12 -108

My money is on the Mustangs to cash in an easy cover here as a double-digit dog against the Anteaters. Don't be fooled by UC-Irvine's 74-47 win over Cal Poly earlier in the season. Mustangs couldn't have shot any worse (30%), while Cal Poly couldn't have shot much better (56%). Expect a much closer game than the books are calling for. Bet Cal Poly +12! 

20* SMU/HOUSTON CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on SMU +14 -108

My money is on the Mustangs to cash in an easy cover here as a double-digit road dog against the Cougars. Houston is being way overpriced coming off a loss. All you have to do to see they are overvalued is look at the first meeting. SMU was a 1-point home favorite. Sure that might have been off a bit, but the number here is way off. Bet SMU +14! 

15* OREGON ST/WASHINGTON CBB SHARP PLAY on Washington -6½ -108

My money is on the Huskies to cash in an easy win and cover at home over Oregon State. Washington is simply the better team and have to strong of a home court edge to pass up at this price. Huskies have gone a perfect 7-0 ATS last 7 at home and are 9-2-1 ATS last 12 vs a team with a winning record. Bet Washington -6.5! 

20* GEORGIA TECH/NC STATE CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on NC State -11 -108

My money is on the Wolfpack to cash in an easy win and cover as a double-digit favorite at home against the Yellow Jackets. NC State is rolling down the stretch run, as they come in having covered 5 of their last 6 and the only game they didn't cover, they missed out on a cover by just 1.5-points. Georgia Tech is simply no match. Last two road games for the Yellow Jackets, they lost by 30 at Virginia and by 15 at Miami. Bet NC State -11! 

20* BOSTON COLLEGE/N CAROLINA CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Boston College +11 -106

My money is on the Eagles to cash in an easy cover at home against the Tar Heels. This is simply an ideal spot to fade UNC, as they are going to have a real tough time not looking ahead to Saturday's huge rematch with Duke. BC failed to cover as a 2-point dog at Ga Tech, losing by 3. They are still 5-1 ATS last 6 and while I don't think they win, I like them to keep it within single digits. Bet Boston College +11! 

15* W MICHIGAN/TOLEDO CBB SHARP PLAY on Toledo -15½ -110

My money is on the Rockets to cash in an easy win and cover as a big home favorite against the Broncos. Western Michigan is 1-7 ATS last 8 when playing against a good team that's won 60% to 80% of their games and have lost in this spot by an average of 17.7 ppg. Toledo is 12-3-1 ATS last 16 games following a win and 5-1 ATS last 6 at home vs a team with a losing road record. Bet Toledo -15.5! 

20* KANSAS ST/TCU CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Kansas State -1½ -110

My money is on the Wildcats to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small road favorite against the Horned Frogs. TCU is simply getting way too much respect at home, but that's nothing new. Horned Frogs have been way overvalued for a while now, as they come in 2-8 ATS in their last 10 overall. K-State is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 conference road games and a perfect 8-0 ATS last 3 seasons on the road with a total of 130 to 134.5. Bet Kanas State -1.5! 

20* MANHATTAN/QUINNIPIAC CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Manhattan +9 -110

15* GEORGIA/FLORIDA CBB SHARP PLAY on Georgia +11½ -110

15* UC RIVERSIDE/CAL-IRVINE CBB SHARP PLAY on UC Riverside +10 -110

20* N ARIZONA/MONTANA ST CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Northern Arizona +8½ -108

15* W VIRGINIA/OKLAHOMA CBB SHARP PLAY on West Virginia +10½ -110

15* MICHIGAN ST/INDIANA CBB SHARP PLAY on Indiana +6 -105

20* QUINNIPIAC/ST. PETER'S CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on St. Peter's +2½ -105

My money is on the Peacocks to cash in an easy win and cover at basically a pick'em at home against the Bobcats. St. Peter's is being priced based on their 8-20 overall record and 5-11 mark in league play, but they come in having won and covered their last 2. Peacocks are 4-1 ATS last 5 vs a team with a winning record and have covered 5 of the last 7 meetings overall. Bet St. Peter's! 

15* ARIZONA/OREGON ST CBB SHARP PLAY on Oregon State -4 -108

My money is on the Beavers to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small home favorite against the Wildcats. Arizona continues to get way too much love from the books. Wildcats are 2-7 ATS last 9 overall and 0-5 ATS last 5 on the road. Oregon State is 14-5 ATS last 19 Pac-12 games and are 11-3 ATS last 14 at home vs a team with a losing road record. Bet Oregon State -4! 

20* COASTAL CAROLINA/UL-LAFAYETTE CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on UL - Lafayette -4 -108

My money is on the Ragin' Cajuns to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small home favorite. Lafayette had won 3 straight before losing their last game by a mere 2-points at Texas State. The Cajuns have been money coming off a loss, going 10-4 ATS last 14 in this spot. Coastal Carolina is 1-4 ATS last 5 overall and just 2-9 ATS last 11 after playing 2 straight as an underdog. Bet Lafayette -4! 

15* ELON/JAMES MADISON CBB SHARP PLAY on Elon +7 -108

My money is on the Phoenix to cash in an easy cover here as a 7-point dog at James Madison. No way should the Dukes be laying this kind of number against Elon. These two played earlier this season and the Phoenix won by 3 as a pick'em at home. Elon is 4-0 ATS last 4 off a double-digit home loss and 6-2 ATS last 8 on the road after 3 straight at home. Dukes are 4-9 ATS last 13 vs a team with a losing record and 2-8 ATS last 10 off a cover. Bet Elon +7! 

15* CINCINNATI/SMU CBB SHARP PLAY on SMU +4 -110

My money is on the Mustangs to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Bearcats. SMU nearly upset Cincinnati on the road earlier this month and are going to be primed for a max effort not only playing with revenge, but coming off that ugly 47-point loss at UCF. SMU allowed 95 points to the Knights, but are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 after giving up 80 or more. Cincinnati is 1-4 ATS last 5 off a win and 0-4 ATS last 4 conference games. Bet SMU +4! 

20* VILLANOVA/MARQUETTE CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Villanova -4½ -110

My money is on the Wildcats to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Golden Eagles. Now is the time to buy low on the Wildcats, who have lost 3 straight and were recently dropped out of the Top 25. This is still a top tier team and one that has not lost on their home floor in Big East play. They did lose at Marquette earlier this month, but by just a single point, despite the Golden Eagles shooting 51% from the field and Villanova only connecting on 40.4% of their attempts. Bet the Wildcats -4.5! 

20* AKRON/BUFFALO CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Buffalo -13 -109

My money is on the Bulls to cash in an easy win and cover here at home against the Zips. Buffalo is hands down the best team in the MAC and one of the best small conference teams in the country. The books have really struggled to handicap this team, as they just keep undervaluing them. Buffalo is 24-3 SU and 16-8 ATS. They have covered 7 of their 10 lined home games, where they are outscoring teams by a ridiculous 24.7 points/game. Their average win both home/away in conference play is 15.3 ppg. Bet Buffalo -13! 

20* OKLAHOMA/IOWA ST CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Iowa State -9 -105

My money is on the Cyclones to cash in an easy win and cover here as a double-digit home favorite against the Sooners. ISU already beat Oklahoma on the road and are a much stronger team on their home floor. This also feels like a must-win for the Cyclones, who have lost their last 2 and 3 of their last 4. No question ISU is the better team and I think this could get ugly in a hurry. Bet the Cyclones -9! 

20* VILLANOVA/XAVER CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Xavier +6½ -109

My money is on the Musketeers to cash in an easy cover here as a 6.5-point home dog against Villanova. The Wildcats have lost 3 of 4, including back-to-back on the road to St. John's and Georgetown. Betting public won't be able to contain themselves with backing Villanova as a short road favorite in a game you know they want to win. However, the offense hasn't been on point of late and this their 3rd road game in a week. Not to mention Xavier is playing with a ton of confidence having won 3 straight. Bet the Musketeers +6.5! 

15* UL-LAFAYETTE/TEXAS ST CBB SHARP PLAY on UL - Lafayette +5 -109

My money is on the Ragin' Cajuns to cash in an easy cover here as a 5-point road dog against the Bobcats. Lafayette comes into this one having won 3 straight and have covered the number in all 3, including a 76-64 blowout win as a 3-point road dog at Arlington last time out. Texas State on the other hand just lost 63-63 as a 5-point home favorite to ULM. Bet Lafayette +5! 

15* VIRGINIA TECH/NOTRE DAME CBB SHARP PLAY on Notre Dame +4 -109

My money is on the Irish to cash in an easy cover here against the Hokies. Virginia Tech is 0-4-1 ATS since point guard Justin Robinson went down with a foot injury. Without him I just don't think they are all that much better than Notre Dame and Irish have been playing much better of late. I like the Irish to pull off the upset, making this an easy play at this price. Bet Notre Dame +4!

20* DENVER/NORTH DAKOTA CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on North Dakota -4½ -108

My money is on the Fighting Hawks to cash in an easy win and cover here as a 4.5-point home favorite against the Pioneers. North Dakota is simply the far superior team and have covered 4 straight against a bad team like Denver that has won fewer than 40% of their games. Pioneers actually come in having lost 6 straight and failed to cover the spread in all 6 games. They are also just 7-20 ATS last 27 on the road vs a team with a winning home record. Bet North Dakota -4.5! 

15* GEORGIA TECH/MIAMI CBB SHARP PLAY on Georgia Tech +7 -109

My money is on the Yellow Jackets to cash in an easy cover here on the road against the Hurricanes. I just don't think there's as big a gap between these two teams as this line would suggest. Georgia Tech finally stopped the bleeding from a lengthy losing streak and that will have them playing with a ton of confidence here. Miami is definitely a team worth fading at home, as the Hurricanes are 6-16 ATS last 22 home games overall, which includes and ugly 4-12 ATS mark last 16 at home in conference play. Bet Georgia Tech +7! 

15* PENN ST/ILLINOIS CBB SHARP PLAY on Illinois -2 -109

My money is on Illinois to cash in an easy win and cover at basically a pick'em at home against the Nittany Lions. I really like what I've seen from the Fighting Illini of late. Illinois has won 4 of their last 5, which includes a 79-74 home win over Michigan State. Penn State comes in off a big win at home against Nebraska and have covered 5 straight, but I think that's definitely playing into the line and creating the favorable number for Illinois. Nittany Lions are just 3-10 away from home and a mere 1-8 in true road games this season. Bet Illinois -2! 

15* HARVARD/BROWN CBB SHARP PLAY on Harvard -1½ -110

My money is on the Crimson to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small road favorite against the Bears. Harvard has simply been too good in this spot not to back. For starters, the Crimson have covered 29 of their last 43 Ivy League games, but the stat that really stands out is their 24-7-1 ATS record in their last 32 road games vs a team with a winning home record. Adding to this is the fact that Brown is 2-8 ATS last 10 Ivy League games and 1-4 ATS last 5 at home. Bet Harvard -1.5! 

20* OREGON ST/UCLA CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Oregon State +2 -109

My money is on the Beavers to cash in an easy win and cover as a small road dog against the Bruins. I just don't trust this UCLA team at all right now. The Bruins are 3-7 both SU and ATS in their last 10 games, which includes outright losses at home to Arizona St, Colorado and Utah. Oregon State has won 4 of their last 5, which includes outright wins as small road dogs at Utah and Colorado. Bet Oregon State +2! 

15* PORTLAND/SAN DIEGO CBB SHARP PLAY on Portland +17 -109

My money is on the Pilots to cash in an easy cover here as a massive road dog against the Toreros. There's just no doubt the line has been inflated here with Portland riding a 13-game losing streak. This team still has some fight in them and we saw that in their last game. The Pilots nearly knocked off San Francisco as a 15-point underdog. San Diego is also a mere 4-16-1 ATS last 21 at home vs a team with a losing road record. BET Portland +17! 

20* CS-NORTHRIDGE/LONG BEACH ST CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Long Beach State -4½ -109

My money is on the 49ers to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small home favorite against the Matadors. CS-Northridge comes in having lost 3 straight and are just 1-4 in their last 5. That's important to note, as the Matadors are just 2-15 ATS over the last 3 seasons when they come in having lost 4 of 5 and are a mere 3-11 ATS last 14 when they enter having lost 3 straight. Long Beach St comes in off a loss at Cal Davis by a final of 77-73, which is also worth noting, as they are 24-9 ATS in their last 33 home games off a close loss by 6-points or less. Bet Long Beach St -4.5! 

15* GEORGETOWN/VILLANOVA CBB SHARP PLAY on Georgetown +6 -110

My money is on the Hoyas to cash in an easy cover here at home against No. 17 Villanova. The Wildcats have now lost 2 of their last 3 after starting out 10-0 in Big East play. Both losses coming on the road. The most recent as a slim 3.5-point favorite at St. John's. Georgetown's 5-7 Big East record might not seem all that great, but the Hoyas haven't lost a conference home game by more than 4-points this year. I'm willing to be that trend continues. Bet the Hoyas +6! 

20* TOLEDO/E MICHIGAN CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Eastern Michigan +3 -109

My money is on the Eagles to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small home dog against the Rockets. Eastern Michigan is a different team at home. The Eagles are 8-5 at home compare to a miserable 3-9 away from home. Eastern Michigan has also been a covering machine in conference play, going 14-5 ATS last 19 in the MAC. The home team is also 19-7 in the last 26 meetings between these two, with the Underdog cashing 6 of the last 8. Bet the Eagles +3! 

20* TCU/OKLAHOMA ST CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on TCU -3 -115

My money is on the Horned Frogs to cash in an easy win and cover here on the road against the Cowboys. I wouldn't trust TCU on the road against a lot of teams in the Big 12, but we did just recently see them win at Iowa State as a 9.5-point dog. As for Oklahoma State, they come in having lost 5 straight and are a mere 2-10 in conference play. This might seem like one they could win, but I think it will be a blowout in favor of the Horned Frogs. Note that while TCU only won by 2 at home, they shot 40% from the field and the Cowboys hit 48% of their shots. Expect a better shooting effort and larger margin of victory. Bet TCU -3! 

20* UC RIVERSIDE/HAWAII CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on UC Riverside +11 -108

My money is on the Highlanders to cash in an easy cover here as a double-digit dog against the Rainbow Warriors. Hawaii has the much better overall record, but UC-Riverside is a dominant 17-7 ATS in their last 24 road games after playing 3 straight at home. They are also 10-2 ATS last 12 vs a team that's won more than 60% of their games and have only failed to cover once in their last 5 on the road. Bet the Highlanders +11! 

15* UTSA/LOUISIANA TECH CBB SHARP PLAY on Louisiana Tech -4½ -109

My money is on the Bulldogs to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Roadrunners. Louisiana Tech is a perfect 13-0 at home this season and simply put, the books have not given them the respect they deserve on their home floor. Bulldogs are also a perfect 6-0 ATS at home against conference opponents this season. Bet Louisiana Tech -4.5!

15* RICE/FAU CBB SHARP PLAY on Rice +6 -109

My money is on Rice to cash in an easy cover here at FAU. Rice has won and covered in each of their last 3 trips to FAU and are 9-1 ATS last 10 road games in the month of February. On the flip side of this FAU comes in off a win and cover at home against North Texas, but only scored 57 points in the process and are a mere 2-9 ATS last 11 after a game where they covered the spread. Bet Rice +6! 

15* NOTRE DAME/VIRGINIA CBB SHARP PLAY on Notre Dame +18½ -109

My money is on the Irish to cash in an easy winner here as a massive road dog against the Cavaliers. There's little doubt here that Virginia is going to win this game, but I don't think they will be as locked as they will need to be to win by 20+. This is the definition of a trap game, as the Cavaliers are coming off a huge road win at UNC and have two big road games on deck. First at in-state rival Virginia Tech and then Louisville. Bet Notre Dame +18.5! 

15* OKLAHOMA ST/TEXAS CBB SHARP PLAY on Texas -11 -105

My money is on the Longhorns to cash in an easy win and cover here as a double-digit home favorite against the Cowboys. Oklahoma State is just 1-7 in their last 8 games and come in off a 28-point loss at home to Texas Tech. They have really struggled to keep games close and are going to get Texas' best effort with the Longhorns off a home loss to K-State and Texas wanting revenging from an earlier loss at Oklahoma State. Bet Texas -11! 

20* CLEMSON/LOUISVILLE CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Clemson +5 -105

My money is on the Tigers to cash in an easy cover against the Cardinals. Clemson has really been playing well and are catching Louisville at the perfect time, as they are going to have a horrible time bouncing back from that epic 23-point collapse at home to Duke on Tuesday. Wouldn't be shocked at all if Clemson won outright. Bet the Tigers +5! 

20* ST. JOE'S/DAVIDSON CBB SHARP PLAY on St. Joe's +11 -109

My money is on St. Joseph's to cash in an easy cover here as a double-digit road dog against Davidson. The books have completely missed the mark in this one. No question the Wildcats should be favored, but this is too many points. The Hawks already beat Davidson straight up on their home court earlier this season. Don't be fooled by St. Joe's losing their last game at home to St Bonaventure by 25. Hawks are 20-6 ATS last 26 after losing at home by more than 10 points and 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 off a SU loss by more than 20. Bet St. Joe's +11! 

20* PEPPERDINE/SAN FRANCISCO CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Pepperdine +11 -108

My money is on the Waves to cash in an easy cover here as a double-digit dog at San Francisco. Pepperdine might have a mediocre record, but this team has been solid gold when it comes to cashing winning tickets against top tier teams. The Waves are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 vs a team that's won more than 60% of their games. They are also 13-4 ATS last 17 vs a conference opponent. Dons are 2-6 ATS last 8 off a win and 0-4 ATS last 4 overall. Bet Pepperdine +11! 

15* DELAWARE/TOWSON CBB SHARP PLAY on Delaware +2 -109

My money is on the Blue Hens to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small road dog against the Tigers. Blue Hens have gone 18-7-1 ATS last 26 road games vs a team with a losing home record and the underdog has cashed 6 of the last 8 meetings in this series. Towson is also a mere 4-9 ATS last 13 off a SU win and 4-11 ATS last 15 at home. Bet Delaware +2! 

20* ARIZONA ST/COLORADO CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Arizona State +2 -109

My money is on the Sun Devils to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small road dog against the Buffaloes. Colorado comes in having won 3 straight with back-to-back wins on the road against UCLA and USC, which has them way overvalued against one of the top teams in the Pac-12 in Arizona State. These two teams already played once and the Sun Devils won by 23 at home. I don't think Colorado's home court edge is enough to make up that kind of gap. Bet Arizona State +2! 

15* CS-NORTHRIDGE/UC-DAVIS CBB SHARP PLAY on CS-Northridge +4 -109

My money is on the Matadors to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small road dog against the Aggies. UC Davis has been an excellent team to fade at home, as the Aggies are just 2-7 ATS last 9 home games. On the flip side, CS-Northridge is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games overall, 6-1 ATS last 7 on the road and 4-0 ATS last 4 vs a team with a losing record. Bet the Matadors +4! 

15* PITTSBURGH/BOSTON COLLEGE CBB SHARP PLAY on Boston College -3 -110

My money is on the Eagles to cash in an easy win and cover here at home against the Panthers. Both of these teams are bottom feeders in the ACC and each come in on losing streaks. Pitt has lost 7 straight while BC has dropped 4 in a row. I just think it's hard for bad teams like Pitt to win on the road and with this line that's basically what you are expecting to happen if you take the Panthers. Bet Boston College -3! 

20* KANSAS/TCU CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on TCU -2 -110

My money is on the Horned Frogs to cash in an easy win and cover here at home against Kansas. I just think if this was any other team besides Kansas, the line here would be a lot higher. Jayhawks are a mere 1-6 in true road games, have key guys out of the line and TCU is 11-1 on their home floor and playing some of their best basketball. Bet TCU -2! 

20* UC-DAVIS/UC-SANTA BARBARA CBB SHARP PLAY on UC-Santa Barbara -6 -109

My money is on the Gauchos to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Aggies. Santa Barbara has gone an impressive 16-5 ATS last 21 games played on Saturday and are 7-1 ATS last 8 after a game where they failed to cover. UC-Davis is 3-8 ATS last 11 vs a team with a winning record and 1-4 ATS last 5 off a cover. Bet UC-Santa Barbara -6! 

20* ALABAMA/VANDY CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Vanderbilt +3½ -109

My money is on the Commodores to cash in an easy win and cover here at home against the Crimson Tide. That's right. Vandy snaps their 10-game losing streak and gets their first conference win of the season today. Alabama is just 9-20 ATS last 29 off a home win, 5-14 ATS last 19 off a win by 15+ points and 4-12 ATS last 16 after scoring 80+. Bet Vanderbilt +3.5! 

15* KANSAS ST/BAYLOR CBB SHARP PLAY on Baylor -3 -109

My money is on the Bears to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small home favorite agains the Wildcats. Baylor has been one of the best kept secrets in the country of late, as they are 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 games. They are coming off a loss, but are a perfect 7-0 ATS last 7 off a loss and 6-1 TS last 7 at home. Bet Baylor -3! 

15* DUKE/VIRGINIA CBB SHARP PLAY on Duke +2½ -110

My money is on Duke to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small road dog against the Cavaliers. Blue Devils already beat Virginia once and will have no problem doing it again. Duke comes in off a 25-point win over BC at home and are 10-1 ATS this season off a home win. Virginia on the other hand is 0-9 ATS last 9 home games when they come in having won 18 or more of their last 20 overall. Bet Duke +2.5! 

15* VCU/ST BONAVENTURE CBB SHARP PLAY on St Bonaventure +2½ -105

My money is on the Bonnies to cash in an easy win and cover here at home against the Rams. St Bonaventure comes in off a 51-49 win at Duquesne and are 30-15 ATS last 45 off at win by 3-points or less. They are also 11-3 ATS last 14 with a line of +3 to -3. Bet the Bonnies +2.5! 

15* MIAMI/N CAROLINA CBB SHARP PLAY on Miami-FL +17 -109

My money is on the Hurricanes to cash in an easy cover here as a huge road underdog at North Carolina. Miami snapped a 5-game losing streak with an impressive 62-47 win at home over Notre Dame and I like them to come out and play really hard against the Tar Heels. I can't say the same thing about UNC, as this feels like a trap game with them being the far superior team, riding high on a 6-game winning streak and a big lookahead game at home against Virginia on deck. Bet Miami +17! 

20* CANISIUS/RIDER CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Under 151½

My money is on the Golden Griffins and Broncs to finish well below the total set by the books for this Friday night MAAC action. Canisius comes in off a 78-71 home loss to Marist as a 4-point favorite. That sets up a very profitable situation for the UNDER, as it's cashed in 10 of the Golden Griffins last 12 games when they are on the road coming off a upset conference loss as a home favorite. UNDER is also 5-1-1 in Canisius' last 7 on the road vs a team with a winnig home record and 6-1-1 in the Broncs last 8 at home. Bet the UNDER 151.5! 

20* FIU/UTSA CONF-USA GAME OF THE MONTH on Florida International +7½ -108

My money is on the Golden Panthers to cash in an easy win and cover as a decently priced road dog at UTSA. FIU has been a money making machine in this spot, as they are 20-7 ATS last 27 road games vs a team that's won more than 40% of their home games and 4-1 ATS last 5 on the road after playing 3 or more consecutive games at home. Bet the Golden Panthers +7.5! 

15* FURMAN/WESTERN CAROLINA CBB SHARP PLAY on Western Carolina +9½ -109

My money is on the Catamounts to cash in an easy cover here as a near double-digit dog at Furman. Western Carolina is a dominant 10-2 ATS in their last 12 home games vs a top tier team that has won more than 60% of their road games. The Paladins on the other hand are 1-5 ATS last 6 road games vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their home games. Bet Western Carolina +9.5! 

15* CINCINNATI/MEMPHIS CBB SHARP PLAY on Memphis +3 -105

My money is on the Tigers to cash in a win at home against the Bearcats. Memphis shouldn't be a dog here, as they are 11-1 on their home court and are going to be playing their hearts out in this one, as they come in having lost 2 straight and 3 of their last 4. Cincinnati on the other hand is due for a letdown and this could be it with a much bigger game on deck Sunday at Houston, which could end up deciding the AAC. Bet Memphis +3! 

20* WISCONSIN/MINNESOTA CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Minnesota +2½ -109

My money is on the Gophers to cash in an easy win and cover here at home against the Badgers. Minnesota already went to Madison and beat Wisconsin on their home floor. I see no reason not to expect them to win again, as the Gophers are a dominant 11-1 on their home floor this season. The perception here is that Wisconsin is the much better team, but the two have identical 16-6 records. You got Minnesota averaging 81.3 ppg at home and Wisconsin averaging just 67.7 ppg on the road. In the first meeting the Gophers held the Badgers to just 15 1st half points. I just don't see Wisconsin being able to generate enough offense to win this game. Bet Minnesota +2.5! 

15* EVANSVILLE/INDIANA ST CBB SHARP PLAY on Evansville +4 -105

My money is on the Purple Aces to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small road dog against the Sycamores. Evansville snapped a 4-game losing streak with an impressive 64-53 win at home against Valparaiso and I like their chances of carrying over that momentum into this game. Indiana State has lost 5 of their last 6 and are just 3-7 in conference play. The Sycamores are now 5-16 ATS last 21 in the Missouri Valley and 1-7-1 ATS last 9 at home vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their road games. Bet Evansville +4! 

20* STETSON/LIBERTY CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Stetson +24 -110

My money is on the Hatters to cash in an easy win here as a massive road dog against the Flames. Liberty is without a doubt the better team, as they come in at 19-5 and Stetson is just 5-19. Really tough for the Flames to give the Hatters their full attention, especially coming off a big win over NJIT. Liberty will get the win, but will fail to cover the big number. Take Stetson! 

20* MARIST/CANISIUS CBB SHARP PLAY on Marist +5 -109

My money is on the Red Foxes to cash in an easy cover here as a 5-point dog at Canisius. Fading the Golden Griffins at home has been very profitable. Canisius is a mere 2-9 ATS last 11 home games and are 1-6 ATS last 7 at home vs a team with a losing record. Red Foxes have gone 5-1 ATS last 6 on the road vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their home games. Bet Marist +5! 

15* GEORGETOWN/VILLANOVA CBB SHARP PLAY on Georgetown +11 -105

My money is on the Hoyas to cash in as a double-digit dog here at Villanova. Just too much value here with Georgetown to pass up. The Wildcats are simply overvalued right now due to the fact that they are riding a 9 game winning streak and have covered 5 in a row. Georgetown is coming in with a ton of confidence after a 89-79 win at St Johns as a 7.5-point dog and easy cover at home against Xavier. Look for the Hoyas to keep it closer than expected and flirt with a outright win. Bet Georgetown +11! 

15* MONTANA/MONTANA ST CBB SHARP PLAY on Montana -6 -105

My money is on the Grizzlies to cash in an easy win and cover here against their in-state rivals. Montana is 14-6 and off to a 7-2 start in conference play. They have covered 5 of their last 6 on the road. They swept the season series last year, winning by 15 on the road and 27 at home. Bet Montana -6! 

15* MIDDLE TENNESSEE/UAB CBB SHARP PLAY on Middle Tennessee +11½ -110

My money is on the Blue Raiders to cash in an easy cover here as a double-digit dog at UAB on Saturday. These two teams just played at Middle Tennessee on Wednesday. The Blue Raiders won that game 71-65 as a 6-point dog. No way should they be getting this many points in a game they could easily win outright. Bet Middle Tennessee +11.5! 

15* OREGON ST/UTAH CBB SHARP PLAY on Oregon State +3½ -109

My money is on the Beavers to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small road dog against the Utes. Oregon State is simply the much better team and while Utah typically is a tough team to beat at home, the Utes are just down this year. We just saw them lose at home to Oregon as a 3-point favorite and they also fell at home to Washington by 16. Oregon State enters off a outright win at Colorado, which I think is a very similar team to Utah. Bet the Beavers +3.5! 

20* MIAMI/VIRGINIA CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Miami-FL +20 -105

My money is on the Hurricanes to cash in an easy cover here as a massive 20-point dog against Virginia. I get the Cavaliers are the far superior team, but I think people forget how tough it is for a team like Virginia to get up for a game like this, where they just feel like they have to show up to win. Add in the fact that they are coming off a big road win at NC State and their next game is against Duke. Hurricanes will give effort against one of the elite teams in the conference and should hang inside this inflated number. Bet Miami +20! 

20* LONG BEACH ST/HAWAII CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Hawaii -7 -109

My money is on the Warriors to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the 49ers. This is simply not enough points for the gap in talent and for the big edge that Hawaii has at home. Warriors are 10-3 SU and 8-2 ATS at home this season. Long Beach State is a mere 2-10 on the road and the home team is a perfect 5-0 in this series. Bet Hawaii -7! 

20* MURRAY ST/JACKSONVILLE ST CBB SHARP TOP PLAY on Murray State -2½ -109

My money is on the Racers to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small road favorite against the Gamecocks. Jacksonville State is a quality team and are 7-1 in conference play, but Murray State is that much better and will have no problem getting the win. Racers are 7-1 ATS last 8 road games and 7-1 ATS last 8 on the road off a win. Bet Murray State -2.5! 

15* PURDUE/PENN ST CBB SHARP PLAY on Penn State +6½ -105

My money is on the Nittany Lions to cash in an easy cover here as a home dog against the Boilermakers. Perception couldn't be much worse for Penn State, who comes in having lost 7 straight. The thing is the only three losses during this stretch by more than 7 points are against the 3 best teams in the Big Ten in Michigan, Wisconsin and Michigan State. Purdue is a good team, but are simply overvalued right now and are in a prime letdown spot after knocking off Michigan State at home last time out. Bet Penn State +6.5!
