NEW YORK KNICKS -2 over Cleveland Cavaliers----Knicks on a 2-game win streak and they have the home Revenge;  I'd say play 'em again.(Lose 125-118)

NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS -115 over Minnesota Golden Gophers----------Teams have not met this season,  but NW is at home off an incredible 8 straight losses;  they did push vs Wisconsin last game.   Give them the benefit of the doubt;  its time for a win.(Lose 62-50...........Very bad team is Northwestern.  Man, do they lose)

NEBRASKA OMAHA MAVERICKS -3(-115) over Oral Roberts Golden Eagles----N-Omaha has the Revenge and the +ATS and they are statistically the better team by some distance.  Oral Roberts is home off 3 road losses.(Lose 84-80..........mmm KJ Robinson 3-11 FG 0-5 on 3s)

NEW YORK KNICKS +7.5 over Orlando Magic(Win 108-103)

VCU RAMS -9.5 over Saint Louis Billikens----------VCU has been blowing some teams out and is on a good covering streak;  I think the Marc's will play for us.(Lose 71-65..........VCU lost the 2nd half 38-30)

Monday, February 25, 2019

CHICAGO BULLS +7.5 over Milwaukee Bucks(Lose 117-106)

Saturday, February 23, 2019

FORDHAM RAMS +4 over St Bonaventure Bonnies-------Fordham has the home Revenge and, with STB having won only 1 more game than Fordham,  I don't see the evidence for dogging Fordham by 4.   Fordham has the home-off-road-loss too.(Lose 74-53...........Nick Honor 2-12 FG...........Epic Fail by Fordham)

WASHINGTON STATE COUGARS +101 over Utah Utes--------This is 10 years of Revenge that WSU has at home here.  They haven't beaten Utah in that long.   WSU on a 3-1 SU run;  Jeff Pollard and Robert Franks.(Lose 92-79..........Franks had 29,  Pollard didn't play.............Sedrick Barefield had 33 for Utah...............Ahmed Ali 1-6 FG for WSU.   What a tragedy)

CHICAGO STATE COUGARS +21.5 over Seattle Redhawks---------I don't see why Chicago State is 0-18 on the road and routinely loses games by 40 points.  They have Cameron Bowles,  Rob Shaw,  Jordan Reed,  Michael Johnson and Anthony Harris----those are fine names.   This is the alma mater of Kanye West.   Here,  they are on the road but they have the Revenge and 21.5 points.(Win 77-57........Appreciate how you DIDN'T QUIT.  .............Delshon Strickland 17pts..........Rob Shaw 12........Anthony Harris 13pts)

SAMFORD BULLDOGS -2 over Citadel Bulldogs------Cit does have the revenge,  but Samford is the +ATS team.   Samford's lineup of Robert Allen,  Josh Sharkey,  Brandon Austin and Myron looks too good to pass on today.(Lose 87-83.........Samford wins the 1st half by 10.........players did okay but I went against the Revenge)

PROVIDENCE FRIARS +3 over Marquette Golden Eagles(Lose 76-58)
PROVIDENCE FRIARS +135 over Marquette Golden Eagles-----Providence did lose to Xavier,  which is pretty pathetic.  But they did crush St John's last time when I was betting St John's.   We'll give Ed Cooley a chance here with the home Revenge..........but not for much.(76-58...........Drew Edwards 0 pts---god you let me down----Kalif Young 0-2 FG,  0-2 FT..........Maliek White 0-3)

MARYLAND TERRAPINS -6 over Ohio State Buckeyes------2 days ago I noticed Saint Mary's crushing Pacific 58-32 and Mt St Mary's beating Central Conn 79-66 as 5-point underdogs.........and Maryland-Baltimore County beat Vermont as 7-pt dogs.   All on the same day.  That's why I'm playing this despite OSU having the Revenge.(Win 72-62)

DETROIT MERCY TITANS +5.5 over Oakland Golden Grizzlies(Lose 95-75)
DETROIT MERCY TITANS +200 over Oakland Golden Grizzlies----Detroit has the Revenge and its time for them to win a game;  they're not that bad---just need a good effort.  Teams are close,  but Oakland at home here.(Lose 95-75.............Detroit is totally fucking lost now.  This is despicable)

SETON HALL PIRATES +4(-115) over St John's Red Storm----STJ has the home revenge but, look,  I've strenuously condemned St John's for failing to beat Providence(who sucks,  by the way,  as they lost for me today).   I say,  Forget about St John's,  look how good Seton Hall is on the road.(Lose 78-70............Ponds had 27 here and he had, like, 4 when I bet on them;  that's fucked up..........Michael Nzei 4-4 FG not good enough for the win..........Shavar Reynolds 1-7 FG...........Quincy McKnight 1-6 FG)

NAVY MIDSHIPMAN +13.5 over Colgate Raiders--------Colgate actually has the home revenge but..........13.5?   Although Navy is 2-11 on the road,  its rare that either team here plays in a blowout game.   Just keep this one close..........should be ok.(Lose 93-71...........Navy's a horrible basketball team.........damn)

SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI GOLDEN EAGLES -5.5 over Uab Blazers-------Uab has the revenge but it looks like Sou Miss has been getting stronger lately.   I'll take 'em at home.(Lose 76-72.........Can't believe these names beat me.)

MORGAN STATE BEARS +2.5 over Norfolk State Spartans-----Morgan State is home off 3 road losses........and they are on an 0-4 ATS streak.   So we're gonna reach out.......MSU has Martez Cameron and that's a name I saw do well on Feb 21st,  with Cameron Healy getting 24 and Cameron Williams getting 12.   One can see CA(mer)RON,  the ferryman,  in the name...........and its time for him to be strong.(Win 75-74............just barely covers,  with Devonish-Prince going 3-14 FG)

HARTFORD HAWKS pk over UMass Lowell River Hawks------Hartford has the road Revenge.(Win 75-73)

Friday, February 22, 2019

CHICAGO BULLS +8 over Orlando Magic----As the Magic have been crushing teams before the all-star break,  I feel cautious about this;  But Bulls have the Revenge.(Win 110-109............Zach LaVine 22pts..........Lauri Markkanen 25pts.............Robin Lopez 18pts)

Wednesday, February 20, 2019

NORTHWESTERN STATE DEMONS +7.5 over Houston Baptist Huskies------Well,  Wake Forest won yesterday as an 11-pt underdog........first meeting for these teams this year. 

TULSA GOLDEN HURRICANE -1.5 over Wichita State Shockers------Tulsa has the home Revenge;  looks like a good deal.

ST JOHN'S RED STORM +1.5 over Providence Friars--------STJ has the Revenge on the road here;  Providence not doing so well lately.

MISSISSIPPI STATE BULLDOGS -6 over Georgia Bulldogs-----Georgia at home but is too anemic.

PITT PANTHERS +1.5 over Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets------Neither team was competitive in the ACC this season.   However,  both teams are +ATS teams,  despite Pitt being on a 0-8-1 ATS streak.

Tuesday, February 19, 2019

QUINNIPIAC BOBCATS +2.5 over Iona Gaels------Quinnipiac is a vastly better ATS team,  though Iona has the Revenge.   I'm just not seeing what I need to see on Iona's name lineup.   Quinnipiac at home as a dog........I'll take it.(Lose 81-77..........Quinnipiac blew the 2nd half by just enough(7 pts) to lose it)

Sunday, February 17, 2019

BOSTON COLLEGE EAGLES +2.5 over Miami Hurricanes(Win 64-57.........Nik Popovic 15pts.........Jordan Chatman 17pts)

MISSOURI STATE BEARS +7 over Loy-Chi Ramblers----Loy-Chi has the home Revenge but..........I detected Illinois teams doing very badly yesterday.   The first game was a colossal blowout win by Missouri State and...........now Chicago is favored by 7???   I'll take those points.(Win 65-61.......Missouri State wins straight up!   Tulio Da Silva 16pts..........Keandre Cook 18pts...........Jarred Dixon 10pts...........Ryan Kreklow 9pts)

Friday, February 15, 2019

CORNELL BIG RED pk over Brown Bears------Brown is not winning in conference games,  although their overall record is good---better than Cornell's.(Win 70-66........Josh Warren 18pts.........Jimmy Boeheim 21pts...........Matt Morgan 15pts)

TROY TROJANS +10(-115) over Georgia Southern Eagles----Troy does have the Revenge;  GS has the +ATS.   10 is a couple too many.(Lose 76-51)

Saturday, February 09, 2019

TOLEDO ROCKETS +1.5 over Bowling Green Falcons-----------Toldeo has Nate Navigato and 2 Jacksons........earlier today,  Providence won by more than 10 with Nate Watson and Isaiah Jackson combining for 30pts(Win 78-71..........Chris Darrington 20pts,  Nate Navigato 14pts..........Luke Knapke 11pts)

NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS +12 over Purdue Boilermakers-----Statistically,  this line should be a pick'em on a neutral court.   But as it is,  since Nebraska has lost its last 6 and Purdue usually wins,  Purdue's home court advantage is manifesting as 12 points on the line.(Lose 81-62..........The last 3:15 of this game revealed Nebraska to be truly piss poor;  Roby misses an FT then misses a shot and they lose the last 3 minutes 14-5.   Whereas,  the first half was ok.   In fact,  Nebraska lost the 2nd half by 17 points----totally uncalled for.)

DEPAUL BLUE DEMONS +4 over Xavier Musketeers------Xavier has lost its last 5 games and is 6-15 ATS.   They're horrible but they are at home.  DePaul has the Revenge and the +ATS.(Win 74-62...........Paul Reed 15 pts............Eli Cain 13pts)

VIRGINIA CAVALIERS -2 over Duke Blue Devils-----Two days ago,  the Arizona State Sun DEVILS got owned by Washington State.  I'll count that against Duke.   Duke is offense,  Virginia is defense.   It bothers me that NBC's Lawrence O'Donnell still-----as he did on Thursday----calls Robert E. Lee a 'traitor'.   And I will talk to NBC about this----either they will pay me,  or O'Donnell will get the boot.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_E._Lee
(When Lee asked if he could go home and not fight, the fellow Virginian said that the army did not need equivocal soldiers and that if he wanted to resign, he should do so before receiving official orders.)
                  The reality is that Robert E. Lee was in the Army.  He could either resign from the Army or fight for the Confederacy.   As there was no way he would attack his home state of Virginia.   So he fought for the Army of Northern Virginia.   How is that "treason"?(Lose 81-71........Duke shot 61% on 3s but, having watched this,  I can tell you Virginia is a terrible team.  A weak team.   I don't see how they won so many games.  THEY SUCK.  Forget to mention that Virgina had the home Revenge.)

WASHINGTON STATE COUGARS +11.5 over Arizona Wildcats------Arizona failed for me against Washington;  WSU just won as a 15 point underdog. (Win 69-55.............Robert Franks does it again with 33 points;  a 25 pt cover)

FRESNO STATE -2.5 over Unlv Rebels(Win 83-65............Braxton Huggins 31pts............Nate Grimes 13pts............Deshon Taylor 18pts)

LAMAR CARDINALS +3(-125) over Stephen F Austin Lumberjacks(Win 82-67.........Nick Garth 23pts............Mike Kolawole 3-3,  1-1 on 3s 7pts...........Jordan Hunter 20pts.........Christian Barrett 14pts)

WASHINGTON WIZARDS -2 over Chicago Bulls----------Bulls have Otto Porter now,  but Wizards have Bobby Portis.  Hmm.   Wizards' offense averages about 10 points more.  And Wizards have the Revenge.(Win 134-125...............Chasson Randle 4-5 on 3s,  20pts............Beal 31pts)

ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE -3.5(-115) over Vanderbilt Commodores----Why would Vanderbilt win when they've lost their last 10 games?  I don't know.   Alabama has beaten some good teams,  including Kentucky.(Win 77-67............Kira Lewis 18pts)

Friday, February 08, 2019

PENNSYLVANIA QUAKERS -1.5 over Brown Bears------This game is fixed on the names---Penn has the +ATS,  Cambridge won't beat me.(Win 92-82.............Bryce Washington 20pts...........Michael Wang 11pts...........Devon Goodman 21pts)

PRINCETON TIGERS +7.5 over Yale Bulldogs--------I think we've got this one fixed with the michaelprince.com email;  Princeton lost to Duke by 51 points,  but they've beaten some non-conf teams like Arizona State and George Washington.(Lose 74-60)

ST JOSEPH'S HAWKS +2.5 over Saint Louis Billikens---------STJ has the home Revenge and home-off-road-loss.   In the first game,  St Joseph's shot like shit.   I hesitate to bet on Lorenzo Edwards after the Edwards' brothers blew the game for Pepperdine last night.   But I'll give the name another chance,  as its my middle name.   As St Joseph was the name on the hospital I was born in,  I DARE you fucks to steal this game from me.(Win 91-61...........Ohhhhh,  man:  a 30pt win.........Charlie Brown 28pts..........Jared Bynum 20pts...........Chris Clover 15pts..........Edwards 11pts)

CHICAGO BULLS +8 over Brooklyn Nets---------Bulls have the Triple-in season-Revenge on the road here.  They can't lose again.(Win 125-106.........An enormous beatdown.........Zach LaVine 26pts.........Lauri Markkanen 31pts...........Otto Porter 18pts 4-5 on 3s.........Robin Lopez 12pts.........Wayne Selden 11pts 3-3 on 3s)

MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES +6 over New Orleans Pelicans--------Julius Randle will be an absolutely farce in this game after Brandon Randolph went 2-13 FG with 6 TO's for Arizona last night----and absolutely unforgivable performance.  In fact,  New Orleans is on a 3-7 run while Minnesota has lost 3 straight games,  including one last night.  I feel the game is fixed on Karl Anthony Towns.(Win 122-117............Towns 32pts)

Thursday, February 07, 2019

ARIZONA WILDCATS -1.5 over Washington Huskies----Going against Wash is scary as they've won so many games in a row.   But Arizona is home-off-3-road-losses.   I can't see them losing again here at home;  they have +2 days of rest for this game..........and Dylan Smith,  a day after Daishon Smith scored 36 for L-Monroe and Jalen Smith scored 18 for Maryland.   They also have Alex Barcello.(Lose 67-60...........Ryan Luther 3-11 FG............Brandon Randolph 2-13 FG,  6 TO's........team is terrible)

ELON PHOENIX +18 over Hofstra Pride-------Hofstra is 17-5 ATS and they have never been this large of a favorite.   Elon does have the Revenge,  having lost to Hofstra only by 3.   It seems that Elon rarely gets blown out.(Lose 102-61..............Elon lost the 1st half by 35,  all players terrible............Tareq Coburn was 7-11 on 3s for Hofstra)

ATLANTA HAWKS +7.5 over Toronto Raptors(Lose 119-101)
ATLANTA HAWKS +250 over Toronto Raptors------Hawks have the home Revenge after 2 road wins. (Lose 119-101.........Atlanta won the first half 68-60,  so this was a tremendous collapse)

PEPPERDINE WAVES -6.5 over Santa Clara Broncos----Pepperdine has the home Revenge and the home-off-road-loss.  So we've got the Edwards' brothers and Jade Smith.(Lose 79-71............Colbey Ross 2-9 on 3s............Edwards' 0-5 on 3s combined............Eric Cooper 2-7 on 3s.  Pepperdine disgraces its home court,  its fans and its ancestors)

HOUSTON COUGARS -2 over Ucf Knights-----------Houston on the road;  don't think they can let me down again like they did vs Temple.  I'll go with Robinson and Brady.(Win 77-68)

BOSTON CELTICS -9 over La Lakers------------Darrell Brown had 29 pts for Bradley and Eric Gordon had 20 for Houston(Gordon Hayward and Jaylen Brown are Celtics)(Lose 129-128)

Wednesday, February 06, 2019

GEORGE MASON PATRIOTS -2(-115) over Richmond Spiders-----GM didn't beat VCU last game,  but they've beaten a lot of teams in their conference.  And Richmond just hasn't.   I'll give up the 2 and the home court to take Patriots here.(Lose 81-67.........Jason Douglas-Stanley a horrendous 0-6 FGs...........Justin Kier 1-6 FG............Ian Boyd 0-4.   I can't believe this could happen.  For Richmond,  a capital in turmoil,  Jacob Gilyard.......had 28 and they had another Jake(I guess that's the MC's name in The Sun Also Rises) )

BAYLOR BEARS +3 over Texas Longhorns-----Baylor is on a winning streak where they are crushing teams.   And they're an underdog.......on the road here.(Lose 84-72.........Baylor lost the 1st half by 15.   Makai Mason,  who scored 40 points in the last game,  went 1-7 FG with 5pts.   SPECTACULAR FAILURE.  )

UL MONROE WARHAWKS -2.5 over Georgia State Panthers-----ULM has the Revenge.........they are at home..........they are at home off 2 road losses and they have the +ATS.(Win 82-76..........Daishon Smith 36pts...........Michael Ertel 12pts)

USC TROJANS -6 over Utah Utes------Usc has Derryck Thornton,  which is backed up by Derrik Smits' 16pts yesterday for Valparaiso.(Lose 77-70...........#5 Derryck Thornton goes 2-10 FG.   Its so pathetic,  you'd think it was his worst.  But he went 2-13 FG on December 18th.  USC is terrible----abject.)

Saturday, February 02, 2019

GEORGIA STATE PANTHERS -2.5 over Georgia Southern Eagles-----The home court advantage seems to be only 3.5 points factored into this game.  I've seen it be a lot bigger.(Win 81-72.......Kane Williams 19pts............D'marcus Simonds 29pts)

NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS -1.5 over Louisville Cardinals-------Suspiciously,  Louisville beat NC earlier this season as a 10 pt underdog.  And they beat NC by a lot.   (I think the red light was on that day;  not sure if its on today).   So,  North Carolina is a good team,  and they have the Revenge.(Win 79-69...........Garrison Brooks 12pts...........Luke Maye 20pts)

BOSTON COLLEGE EAGLES -1(-117) over Notre Dame Fighting Irish-------BC has the +ATS and the home Revenge;   don't see a reason not to play it.(Lose 79-73)

MOREHEAD STATE EAGLES +1.5(-105) over Eastern Illinois Panthers-----Morehead State is 1-10 on the road SU.   I have an inkling these names will take care of me,  tho.(Win 84-78)

Friday, February 01, 2019

DENVER NUGGETS -3.5 over Houston Rockets--------Denver has the home Revenge.(Win 136-122.............Nikola Jokic 31pts..........Malik Beasley 35pts...........Torrey Craig 22pts)

CANISIUS GOLDEN GRIFFINS -3.5 over Quinnipiac Bobcats-------You know how I feel about Quinnipiac embarrassing me last time these teams met.  canISIuS is the ISIS and I'm going ISIS here.  They have Faulkner,  so how about some Sound and Fury.(Win 75-70.........Takal Molson 22pts...........Faulkner was 1-8 FG.........thank god they got those last 2 pts)
