    Nova...quite a few points at home in conference play. Smells a bit like an inflated, guard-against-the-public line. But then again, what do I know?!?

    Villanova is an interesting play. I would certainly lean that way. and it is at the Wells Fargo Center.

    I have been piggy backing john since my buddy put me onto him! but tonight I like a few different plays! I am playing the gophers +10 at indiana as if it were released as a 10* i feel that indiana has peaked publically so the lines for them will be off for a stretch here!

    I am 2-0 with my picks I have started posting. You will most likely not see any picks from me for the NBA simply for the fact that I don't feel confident enough in my time to research such a flip flop from night to night sport! I will pick NFL and NCAABB and I simply follow the same star grade as John. I am by no means as experienced or polished as John but I do feel after 10 years of wagering and experimenting I now lean more towards sharp than square! My philosophy is that for most not all you have to learn why you lost to know how to win! I will post on both threads simply because most people bet both. I am not here to post better ATS stats than John or to feel as if I'm more informed than anyone reading just a means of sharing information with others in the same business as myself and a good way to log and track my ATS for my own keeping! My picks last night were Zona vs ORST over 146 and Minnesota +9.5 vs Indiana as a 10*

    John posts the plays that he recommends here after putting the work in necessary. His posted plays are what he posts. Is there really any reason to ask about specific games? This isn't a fantasy football call-radio show "start 'em or sit 'em".

    I have a 5* Titan play On Georgetown -9 -110 playing Depaul..


    My proprietary simulator and statistical database shows a high probability that Georgetown will win this game by 10 or more points. There are two systems supporting this play with one working for a play on GT and the other to play against Depaul. The first one has posted a 30-8 ATS mark for 79% winners since 1997. Play against home dogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are average three point shooting teams making between 32 and 36.5% of their shot attempts and now facing a solid three point shooting defense allowing <=32%, and after two straight games making 37% or less of their shot attempts. The second system has posted a solid 38-13 ATS mark for 75% winners since 2006. The second system has produced a 38-13 ATS mark for 75% winners since 2006. Play on a road team that is an excellent defensive team allowing <=63 points per game and is now facing a poor defensive team allowing 74 to 78 points per game and after allowing 25 points or less in the first half last game. The simulator shows a high probability exceeding 85% that GT will make 47 to 53% of their shot attempts, will get a minimum of four or more foul shot attempts than DePaul, and will score between 75 and 80 points in this game. In past games, GT is a solid 62-37 ATS when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game since 1997; 6-0 ATS *in road games when they attempt four to nine more free throws than opponents in a game over the last two seasons; 38-13 ATS when they score 75 to 80 points in a game since 1997. DePaul is just 7-19 ATS *in home games when they attempt four to nine less free throws than opponents in a game since 1997; 19-39 ATS when they allow 75 to 80 points in a game since 1997. DePaul is an imperfect 0-6 ATS (-6.6 Units) in home games when playing against a top-level team sporting a win percentage of > 80% over the last two seasons. GT is off a 69-49 blowout win over St. johns and easily covered the seven point spread. GT is a perfect 8-0 ATS after a blowout win by 20 points or more over the last 2 seasons. Take the Hoyas!

    That was a very painful loss.. amazing, but if I was TRULY correct in my research than GT would have had this game done and over with.

    5* graded play on New Mexico as they host San Diego State in a huge Mountain West Conference showdown set to tip at 10:00 PM ET. Both teams enter this fray with identical 15-2 records, but it is the San Diego State Aztecs getting the respect as the No. 16 ranked team in the nation. This certainly has rubbed the Lobos and their head coach Steve Alford in a constructive way as they have ripped off 13 straight wins after a mediocre 2-2 start. get the rest of the reprot on the site..

    Let me know your thoughts today on this game, and any others you think are good ones.

    Wow up to -10.5 already with only 31% of public on New Mexico. I am going to wait to put my bet in and hopefully I can get a better number. I don't see it going higher than -10.5. I like Northwestern getting 10 at Wisconsin. 10 is way too many for a low scoring game like this.
