Jack Jones

Jack’s Free Pick Saturday: Northwestern/Illinois UNDER 133.5 

Both Illinois and Northwestern prefer to slow the pace down.  Northwestern ranks 237th in adjusted tempo while Illinois ranks 223rd.  And both teams are in the top 100 in adjusted defense with Illinois (31st) and Northwestern (97th). 

Both teams are very poor shooting teams as Illinois is 310th in 3-point percentage at 30% while Northwestern is 280th at 31.2%.  These teams combine to average just 11 made 3-pointers per game.  It’s safe to say this is going to be a low-scoring game mostly played in the paint. 

The Wildcats are only averaging 58 points per game on the road in Big Ten play.  Illinois has held its Big Ten opponents to just 50 points per game at home this year.  They held Rutgers to 51, Purdue to 37 and Michigan to 62. 

The UNDER is 5-2 in the last seven meetings and would be 6-1 if not for an overtime game.  The UNDER is 7-2 in Illinois’ last nine games overall.  The UNDER is 4-1 in Northwestern’s last five games overall.  Bet the UNDER in this game Saturday.

15* Louisville/Duke ESPN ANNIHILATOR on Duke -7 

The Duke Blue Devils are coming off a shocking 72-79 loss at Clemson as 10.5-point favorites.  It’s safe to say they will return home highly motivated for a victory tonight over the Louisville Cardinals.  They easily could have been looking ahead to this game against 11th-ranked Louisville. 

I believe Louisville is a fraud.  The Cardinals are coming off two straight narrow wins over Notre Dame and Pitt, needing OT to beat Pitt.  And they have recent losses to Florida State by 13 at home, by 13 to Texas Tech on a neutral and by 8 at Kentucky.  Duke is the best team in the country and should win at home by more than 7 points today. 

The Blue Devils are 9-1 at home this season and winning by 23.9 points per game.  The Cardinals are 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine road games vs. a team with a winning home record.  The Blue Devils are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games off a loss.  Duke is 5-0 ATS in its last five games vs. a team with a winning percentage above 60%.  The home team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings.  Roll with Duke Saturday. 

15* Temple/SMU ESPNU ANNIHILATOR on SMU -5 

The SMU Mustangs are coming off two straight road losses to East Carolina and Houston.  Now they are back home and highly motivated for a victory tonight against the Temple Owls.  I love the spot for the Mustangs tonight. 

SMU has one of the biggest home/road splits in the country in recent seasons.  They have a tremendous home-court advantage as they are 9-1 at home this season and winning by 13.3 points per game. 

Temple is in a letdown spot off its upset home win over Wichita State as 4-point dogs.  After all, the Owls were 0-3 SU & 0-3 ATS in their previous three games.  They lost by 14 as 9-point home favorites over Tulane, by 4 as 3-point home dogs to Houston and by 26 at Tulsa as 2.5-point favorites.  So that win over Wichita State was an aberration, and they caught the Shockers in a favorable spot as they were coming off an OT win at UConn. 

The favorite is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings.  The home team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings.  SMU is 3-1 SU & 3-1 ATS in its last three home meetings with Temple with the three wins coming by 23, 14 and 9 points.  The Mustangs are 22-10-1 ATS in their last 33 Saturday games.  SMU is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning percentage of greater than 60%.  Bet SMU Saturday. 

15* Pac-12 PLAY OF THE DAY on Oregon -1.5 

I love the spot for the Oregon Ducks tonight.  They are coming off a shocking upset loss at Washington State as 9-point favorites.  It’s safe to say they’ll be highly motivated for a win at Washington to make up for it tonight. 

The Huskies are just 2-4 SU & 2-4 ATS in their last six games overall.  And this is an Oregon team that they haven’t handled in the past.  The Ducks are 8-1 SU & 6-3 ATS in their last nine meetings with the Huskies. 

One matchup advantage that is going to be huge for Oregon is their pressure defense up against a sloppy Washington offense.  The Huskies rank 284th in turnovers at 15.1 per game.  Oregon plays a pressure defense that will capitalize on those turnovers. 

Washington is 7-22 ATS in its last 29 games off two straight games where it was called for 15 or fewer fouls.  The Ducks are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 road games.  Oregon is 18-5 ATS in its last 23 games vs. a team with a winning record.  Oregon is 22-7 ATS in its last 29 games overall.  The road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.  The Huskies are 0-4 ATS in their last four games as a home underdog.  Take Oregon Saturday. 

20* Houston/Wichita State AAC No-Brainer on Wichita State -3 

The Wichita State Shockers are 15-2 this season and a legit threat to win the American Athletic this season.  They should be more than 3-point home favorites over the Houston Cougars today. 

The Shockers will be highly motivated for a win after a loss at Temple.  Now they are back home where they are 12-0 this season and outscoring opponents by 15.5 points per game.  They have wins over the likes of Oklahoma (by 5), VCU (by 10), Ole Miss (by 20) and Memphis (by 9) at home this season. 

The Houston Cougars are getting too much respect from oddsmakers after feasting on an easy schedule and going 7-1 SU & 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall.  Only two of those were true road games, and they were fortunate to win by 4 at Temple while also getting upset at Tulsa as 6.5-point favorites.  This is a Houston team that lost a lot of talent from last season and only brought back one starter. 

The Shockers are 15-4-2 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above 60%.  Wichita State is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games following an ATS loss.  The Shockers are 22-10-3 ATS in their last 35 games overall.  Roll with Wichita State Saturday. 

15* CBB Saturday Line Mistake on Tulane PK 

Tulane had covered four straight prior to a 55-74 upset home loss to UCF.  It was a predictable letdown off their 65-51 upset win as 9-point dogs at Temple a few nights before.  They also upset Cincinnati as 8-point home dogs and covered as double-digit road dogs to Memphis and UConn during this stretch. 

Now the Green Wave will be highly motivated for a win after that letdown against UCF.  And we are getting them at a tremendous value in a situation where they just have to win to cover at home tonight against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. 

Few teams have had bigger home/road splits than Tulsa in recent years.  While the Golden Hurricane are 9-2 at home this year, they are just 2-4 in all road games.  Their only road wins came against poor ECU and Vanderbilt teams.  They lost by 14 at UT-Arlington, lost at Kansas State, lost by 19 at Arkansas and lost by a whopping 31 at Cincinnati.  That’s the same Cincinnati team that Tulane already beat. 

Tulane is 3-0 and winning by 13.3 points per game against common opponents of Tulsa, which is 2-1 against those same three teams and only winning by 0.6 points per game.  Tulane is 6-0 ATS when playing against a team with a winning percentage from 60% to 80% this season.  The Green Wave are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a loss.  Bet Tulane Saturday. 

20* Auburn/Florida SEC No-Brainer on Florida -1.5 

Auburn finally had its 15-game winning streak to start the season come to an end with a 64-83 loss at Alabama on Wednesday.  Now bubble has burst and I always like fading teams in their next game out after their extended winning streak has come to an end.  They seem to let a team beat them twice in this situation. 

Florida will be the fresher team after making easy work of Ole Miss 71-55 at home on Tuesday as they come in on three days’ rest while Auburn only comes in on two days’ rest. The Gators are 6-1 at home this season with their only loss coming to a Top 10 Florida State team. 

Auburn hasn’t won at Florida since 1996.  In fact, the Gators are 12-0 SU in their last 12 home meetings with Auburn.  So they basically just have to win to cover this short number at home tonight.  And you can bet the Gators want revenge from a loss to Auburn in the SEC Championship last year.  Take Florida Saturday. 

20* CBB Saturday No-Doubt Rout on Texas A&M -1.5 

Texas A&M is flying under the radar because their season-long stats aren’t a true picture of how well this team is playing right now.  They got off to a rough start in Buzz Williams’ first season, but now they have turned a corner and are playing better than most teams in the SEC right now. 

The Aggies have gone 5-2 in their last seven games overall.  Their only losses came on the road at Arkansas by 10 as 14.5-point dogs and at home to LSU by 4 in OT as 6.5-point dogs.  They upset Vanderbilt by 19 as 3.5-point road dogs, beat Ole Miss by 10 as 3-point home dogs and also upset Oregon State by 15 as 6.5-point home dogs. 

South Carolina is in a huge letdown spot after banking in a 3 at the buzzer to beat Kentucky at home as 6.5-point dogs on Wednesday.  Now they only have two days to get ready for Texas A&M, while the Aggies last played on Tuesday.  The Gamecocks had lost three straight prior to that Kentucky win, including getting upset by Stetson 56-63 as 22.5-point home favorites. 

South Carolina is 0-6 ATS in road games off a win by 6 points or less over the last three seasons.  Texas A&M is 10-2 ATS off a conference loss over the last two seasons.  The Gamecocks are 1-10 ATS off two straight games where their opponent was called for 22 or more fouls over the last three seasons.  Frank Martin is 1-8 ATS in road games off a close win by 3 points or less as the coach of South Carolina.  Buzz Williams is 12-3 ATS in home games off a home loss to a conference opponent in all games as a head coach.  Bet Texas A&M Saturday. 

15* NBA Saturday No-Doubt Rout on Philadelphia 76ers -3.5 

I know the Philadelphia 76ers will be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back tonight after beating the Bulls 100-89 last night.  But the line has been adjusted too much for it as the 76ers are only 3.5-point favorites over the lowly New York Knicks tonight. 

The 76ers shouldn’t be all that tired anyway considering they have had a lot of time off in January.  In fact, it will be just the 8th game in 18 days in the month of January for the 76ers.  They should have enough left in the tank to make easy work of the Knicks tonight. 

The Knicks have some injury problems right now as they are missing RJ Barrett and Reggie Bullock and Dennis Smith Jr. are questionable.  They did just get back Marcus Morris, but it didn’t matter in a 98-121 home loss to the Suns on Thursday.  The Knicks are now just 1-7 SU & 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall with each of their last five losses coming by 12 points or more and by an average of 23 points per game. 

The 76ers have owned the Knicks going 10-0 SU in the last 10 meetings with all 10 wins by 3 points or more and nine by 5 points or more.  Philadelphia is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings.  Roll with the 76ers Saturday. 

20* NBA Western Conference GAME OF THE WEEK on Sacramento Kings +9.5 

The Utah Jazz had their 10-game winning streak come to an end with a 132-138 (OT) loss at New Orleans on Thursday.  I always like fading teams that have their long winning streaks come to an end because it’s the kind of loss that seems to beat them twice.  They take a breathe of air and don’t play well in the next game out. 

While it is impressive that the Jazz have won 15 of their last 17 games overall, keep in mind it has come against one of the easiest schedules in the NBA.  In fact, 14 of those 15 wins came against teams with losing records.  Now they are way overvalued and it’s time to ’sell high’ on them. 

The Jazz would have to beat the Kings by double-digits to beat us now, which is asking way too much.  Especially since the Kings are almost back to 100% health with only Richaun Holmes still sidelined.  They get Bogdan Bogdanovic back from an injury Saturday and recently got back Marvin Bagley and a few others.  The Kings will be a dangerous team moving forward. 

The Jazz have to be a tired team as they haven’t had two days off in a row since over New Year’s Eve.  And they are coming off a three-game road trip.  The Kings will be playing just their 4th game in 11 days and will be by far the fresher team tonight. 

Plays against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (Utah) - a hot team having won 12 or more of their last 15 games, a good team (60% to 75%) playing a bad team (25% to 40%) are 27-7 (79.4%) ATS over the last five seasons. 

The Kings are 15-5 ATS when playing 4 or fewer games in 10 days over the last two seasons.  Sacramento is 24-9 ATS after losing three of its last four games over the last two seasons.  The Kings are 12-3 ATS in road games off a loss by 6 points or less over the last two years.  Sacramento is 7-1 ATS in its last eight road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage above 60%.  The Kings are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 games as underdogs.  Sacramento is 13-5-2 ATS in its last 20 meetings in Utah.  Take the Kings Saturday.
