*5-1 NCAAB CURRENT RUN/18-9 NCAAB OVERALL RUN* Coming off another winning day in college hoops, we continue to BEAT THE BOOKS in NCAAB with 4 BIG WINNERS: MAC MONEYMAKER, 3-0 ACC ANNIHILATOR, 2-0 SEC SMASH, & 3-0 BIG 12 BLOCKBUSTER. Get them all, go 4-0, and BEAT THE BOOKS Tuesday’s FREE WINNER: Central Florida Knights. Game 619. 4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST. I think the line might be a little off in this Big 12 matchup, my friends. Yes, Iowa State is 16-2 and currently ranks ninth in the nation. But let's be honest, this team has hit a snag over the last week or so. They have lost their last two outings, both road games mind you, but have lost their last two outings at the hands of Kansas and Cincinnati, badly. The Jayhawks took them down 84-63, while the Bearcats bested them 79-70. By the way, it was also their third consecutive no cover and their seventh no cover over the last nine games. I believe they're still being overvalued here. Yes, they are a perfect 10-0 at home this season, but I still feel the oddsmakers are overvaluing the Cyclones. Meanwhile, the Knights are playing some good basketball at 14-3 overall, which does include a 3-2 record in conference play. By the way, that's the same record as their opponent here today (wink wink nudge nudge). Iowa State has taken the three most recent matchups in this rivalry both SU and ATS. But I still feel they are being overvalued, my friends. Central Florida comes in here splitting out their last four games straight up, but (and there's always a but) but, they did play a very tough matchup just three days ago at home against Arizona, losing but covering the 9.5-pointspread. As a matter of fact, they have covered seven of their last 10 overall outings and have faced some solid opposition in doing so. Both teams account for approximately 85 PPG on offense, and both are strong from downtown, and on the boards, as well. Granted the cyclones are a bit stouter on the defensive side of the court. But both teams are monsters on the defensive glass. I think this game is going to be a lot closer than this large pointspread, and I feel the Knights are going to compete here quite well. Take Central Florida. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Clippers. SLAM DUNK. Game 566. 12:10 PM PST/3:10 PM EST. Los Angeles took the only meeting this season against Washington just five days ago at home, one 119-105 to give them their ninth consecutive win and their ninth consecutive ATS cover against the Wizards. The Clippers are playing some pretty good basketball winning and covering five straight. Yes, they will be without a couple of their big names in this matchup (check status), but I don't think it's going to matter as they have a young, deep, and talented team that I feel will have no problem repeating what happened in the last matchup with today's opponent. Speaking of Washington, they are ice-cold, dropping six straight games, and only covering one of those six outings. They are being outscored by an average of 11.2 PPG, with one of the worst defenses in the NBA. That would be enough for me here. But offensively this team is stunted as well, and they're going up against a top-10 defense. At both ends of the court, they are outclassed. Take Los Angeles. Thank you. |

George Mason. Game 876. 2:00 PM PST/5:00 PM EST. To say George Mason has dominated George Washington, would be an understatement. The Patriots have taken four in a row and seven of the last 10 meetings with the Revolutionaries, covering three of the last four including the last two matchups. They enter this game sporting an overall record of 17-1, which does include a 12-0 home mark, and a perfect record in conference play at 5-0. The visitor has dropped two of their last three both straight up and against the spread, and I feel is at a big disadvantage here. Yes, they can score points, but they are going up against one of the most frustrating and stingiest defenses in the nation. The George Mason defense allows a mere 67.2 PPG. They are also monsters on the defensive boards, and let's not forget this team is extremely accurate overall from the floor and from downtown. Take the Patriots. Thank you. |

Indiana Hoosiers. Game 288. 4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST. There is no question that both Miami and Indiana deserve to be in the National Title game. The Hurricanes have rattled off seven consecutive victories covering the last four with a few of those games winning outright as an underdog. This game is also being played in their home venue. They will look in the stands and see a lot of their loyal fans, for sure. Meanwhile, Indiana is a perfect 15-0 this season, and also enter this game covering four straight outings. There is no question that Mario Cristobal and Curt Cignetti are two of the best coaches in the nation. There is a lot of talk that one of Cignetti's assistants is now on the sidelines for Miami and would be a disadvantage for him. But to be quite honest my friends the head coach has gone up against some of the best head coaches in the history of college football, and he's beaten all of them. Without question the Indiana offense is certainly a little more well-balanced. They have a much stronger running attack, and Heisman winner, Fernando Mendoza at the helm. I do feel he's a little more stable than his counterpart, who is a very good quarterback, Carson Beck. There's also a big advantage in the fact the Hurricanes pass defense ranked 62nd in the nation. The Hoosiers defense can create turnovers, and will create turnovers. They rank second nationally against the rush, and are one of the most frustrating pass defenses in the nation ranking 23rd. Defensively, the Hoosiers have held 11 opponents to season lows in points and six to season lows in yardage. They are just so much more well-balanced and polished on both sides of the line scrimmage. I feel the Hurricanes are a very good team, but are outclassed in this matchup. You may not realize this but Indiana in their two Bowl/CFP games have outscored Alabama and Oregon by a combined 94-25. With a combination of a more solid quarterback, a more stable ground game, and the better defense, we're going to take the Hoosiers here. Take Indiana. Thank you. |
