This is a play on the WEST GEORGIA WOLVES for our Monday Free Play. UCLA has opened the season 2-0 but it has not been pretty as the Bruins defeated Eastern Washington and Pepperdine by six and 11 points respectively. Many will look for this to be the get right game and it very well could be but there is no reason to be laying a number this big with a team that has not been able to pull away from either of their first two opponents. UCLA has been picked as high as No. 3 in the Big Ten Conference and currently they sit No. 12 in the AP Poll which is meaningless except for the casual fan to look at and more important here is that UCLA has old Pac 12 foe Arizona on deck. West Georgia is in its second season at the Division I level after going 6-25 last season including 4-14 in the ASUN Conference and the Wolves are expected to be a better program. They are 1-1 which includes a 33-point loss against Nebraska and that will be a focal point for bettors to be on the Bruins as UCLA is considered much better than the Huskers. It likely will not be a close game but the one big factor on our side is that UCLA head coach Mick Cronin and West Georgia head coach Dave Moore grew up together in Cincinnati and Cronin will not run it up. Here, we play on road underdogs of 10 or more points in the first five games of the season that were outscored by 6.5 or more ppg last season after a blowout win by 30 points or more. This situation is 32-7 ATS (82.1 percent) since 2022. Play (306649) West Georgia Wolves

This is a play on the GRAND CANYON LOPES as part of our CBB Monday Triple Play. The MAC is typically a top-heavy conference with a big drop off after that and to be the worst team is a tough moniker to take and Northern Illinois has inherited that once again. The Huskies went 2-16 in the conference last season, 6-25 overall, and are picked to finish dead last again. The Huskies defeated an equally bad UL Monroe team by 20 points and lost at Wisconsin by 25 points but did get the cover. Now they travel all the way to Phoenix for a one off west coast game which puts them in a tough spot. Grand Canyon is making its debut in the Mountain West Conference this season after it navigates through a tough nonconference schedule. The Lopes were not prepared in their last game as they lost against Youngstown St. by nine points at home as 15.5-point favorites so they will be out for blood against an overmatched opponent and a chance to get right before a tough game at St. Louis on deck. Here, we play on home favorites of 10 or more points after playing a game where both teams scored 80 points or more going up against an opponent after a combined score of 165 points or more in two straight games. This situation is 31-9 ATS (77.5 percent) since 2017. 10* (744) Grand Canyon Lopes

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE PANTHERS as part of our CBB Monday Triple Play. Milwaukee finished in a tie for second place in the Horizon League last season, a game out of first place and this is the year for the Panthers to take it despite most of the production gone from last year. Milwaukee has not looked good through two games as it defeated Hampton by four points at home and then went on the road and lost at Wofford by 10 points as a three-point road chalk. The Panthers will be in bounce back mode and know that they need to get right with a game at Indiana on deck for Wednesday so that loss negates any look ahead possibility. Little Rock is coming off a 29-point win over Arkansas Baptist which has been its only tuneup heading into this game. The Trojans are the pick to win the Ohio Valley Conference but that was before they officially reported that brothers KK Robinson and Kellen Robinson are both out for the season with knee injuries, the former being the preseason OVC Player of the Year. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a home win by 20 points or more going up against an opponent off an upset loss as a road favorite. This situation is 122-68 (64.2 percent) since 1998. 10* (738) Milwaukee Panthers

This is a play on the FAIRFIELD STAGS as part of our CBB Monday Triple Play. Seton Hall was the worst team in the Big East Conference last season and will be the worst team again in most likelihood. The Pirates opened the season with a big victory over St. Peter’s but struggled in Game Two against Wagner as they won by only seven points as a three-touchdown favorite and while that effort could get their attention here, this is not a trustworthy team to lay a big number against a quality opponent. And yes, Fairfield is a quality opponent. While they are 1-0 in games decided by 10 or more points, they were 0-13 last season and the new roster is going to take time. As mentioned, the Stags are a quality opponent. They opened the season with an eight-point loss against Penn St. and while the Nittany Lions are projected last in the Big Ten Conference, it is still the Big Ten Conference. They bounced back with a blowout over NJIT which is not a good team but it gave them the needed confidence. Here, we play on underdogs of 10 or more points off a road win by 20 points or more, playing their 2nd road game in three days. This situation is 30-8 ATS (78.9 percent) since 1998. 10* (725) Fairfield Stags

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. The NBA can be a weird league at times. The Hawks were playing the Lakers without their top four scorers and won by 10 points which just shows that sometimes injuries and rest do not matter in a league of world class players from top to bottom of the roster. Atlanta has won four of its last six games including going 2-1 on the road but those victories were against the Nets and Pacers, two of the worst teams in the NBA. Atlanta now hits the west coast for a four-game roadtrip and the first spot is not a good one. The Clippers have lost four straight games which includes three losses at home so this is a great spot where we will see a focused Los Angeles team. The defense has been awful but we think they shore that up here and there is value in this line due to the fact the Clippers have dropped seven straight games against the number. The Clippers are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 nonconference home games while going 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games following consecutive losses. Here we play on home teams off a loss by 10 points or more to a division rival going up against an opponent off an upset win by 10 points or more as a home underdog. This situation is 46-16 (74.2 percent) since 1997. 10* (532) Los Angeles Clippers

This is a play on the GREEN BAY PACKERS for our NFL Monday Primetime Winner. The Packers are coming off a horrible loss to Carolina 16-13 last week and it looks even worse after the Panthers lost to New Orleans on Sunday. Green Bay is now 5-2-1 and have a one game lead over Detroit in the NFC North coming into Monday. This is a revenge spot for the Packers as they lost in Philadelphia in the Wild Card Playoff Round 22-10 despite outgaining the Eagles 302-290 but they lost the turnover battle 4-0. Teams after losing favorites of a touchdown or more are 22-13 ATS over the last three seasons in their next game. Green Bay is 11-2 under head coach Matt LeFleur after scoring 14 points or fewer in its last game. The Eagles are coming off a bye week which came after a 38-20 win over the Giants as they outgained New York 427-246 and this was the first game all season they have outgained their opponent as they came in 0-7 in the stats. On the season, Philadelphia is 5.6 to 5.5 in yppl which is shocking for a team that is 6-2. This line continues to come down as it opened at 3 and has come down to 1 or 1.5 with a lot of that due to the Eagles acquisitions at the trade deadline. 10* (276) Green Bay Packers
