    Monday's Line Moves and Today’s Top Trends

    By Doug Upstone

    A very light schedule in sports today and many of the more obscure contests are attracting sports bettors’ attention and they have been making line moves. Like we say every day, understanding line moves can build your bankroll.

    CBB – (709) WEBER STATE at (710) IDAHO STATE 9:00 E

    Once again Weber State is at the top of the Big Sky Conference standings at 11-2 and has a three-game lead. However, both their conference setbacks have been on the road and Idaho State is being given a shot to hand the Wildcats a third loss. Weber State opened as five-point favorite and they have been lowered to -3, with Idaho State 8-2 ATS as an underdog this season. The Wildcats have beaten ISU in three straight and 10 of the last 11 encounters (5-5-1 ATS), but off their 20-point drubbing of Southern Utah, Weber State is just 1-10 ATS away after a victory by 15 or more points the past three years. Doug's Take – Weber State covers

    CBB – (711) DAVIDSON at (712) CITADEL 7:00 E

    While this not among veteran coach Bob McKillop’s better Davidson squads, they still sit atop the Southern Conference standings at 11-1 and are a bubbling favorite to crush the Citadel. Davidson was released as chalky 15-point road favorites and has been elevated to -17. The Citadel has lost 15 win a row, last posting a ‘W’ on Dec. 18 against Brevard (whoever that is) and none of their four totals wins have come in a lined games. The Bulldogs are winless in the SoCon, but are a respectable 6-6 ATS in league play. Davidson is 10-3 SU at McAlister Field House, yet is just 4-8-1 ATS the last 13 trips. Doug's TakeLean Citadel

    CBB – (713) TEXAS STATE at (714) GEORGIA STATE 7:30 E

    Georgia State is the team to beat in the Sun Belt this season at 10-1 and is at least three games clear of the competition. The Panthers just suffered their first conference defeat at Troy Saturday 85-81 as 10-point favorites. Those betting basketball are wondering if Georgia State might have carryover from that loss and have lowered them from -13.5 to an even dozen favorites. Georgia State is 9-0 on their home floor, but a mediocre 2-5 ATS. Nonetheless, the Panthers average 84.3 PPG at the GSU Sports Arena and Texas State is 1-8 ATS versus teams averaging 77 or more points a game. Doug's TakeGeorgia State covers

    Doug's Top Trends

    CBB ATS Trend

    Florida State is 3-16 ATS at home after playing two consecutive games as favorite.

    CBB Totals Trend

    Weber State is 7-0 OVER after playing three consecutive games as favorite this season.

    CBB First Half Trend

    Oklahoma State is 0-8 ATS versus teams making 45% or more of their shots after 15 or more games this season.

    Thanks for the write-up, Doug, but I'm confused with your Weber St. pick. All of your info looks to point at the dog, yet you say Weber St. covers.
