This is a play on the TORONTO RAPTORS for our NBA Signature Enforcer Winner. The Knicks are coming off a win over Orlando on Sunday and they have now won seven of their last eight games but five of those were at home while the two road wins were at Washington and Charlotte who have a combined 10 wins while going 0-15 against the NBA top ten. This has been a one way series as New York has won nine straight meetings including a 22-point win in the lone meeting this season but that was at home and New York is back on the road where it is 3-6 compared to 13-1 at MSG. Following a nine-game winning streak, Toronto has dropped three straight games and five of its last six following a loss to the Celtics on Sunday. The Raptors are 8-5 at home and catching a great number due to their 0-7 ATS run which makes them an auto take. Here, we play against road teams off two or more consecutive home wins, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .750. This situation is 35-12 (74.5 percent) since 2022. 10* (572) Toronto Raptors

This is a play on the SOUTH DAKOTA COYOTES for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Wyoming is 7-2 to start the season, going a perfect 7-0 at home while dropping both road games. That seems to make them the play here with this game being in Laramie but not at this price as it is an overlay yet again. The Cowboys closed at exactly 15-point favorites in three previous games and they failed to cover any of those and here they are once again. This is not a true 7-2 team as Wyoming has played a schedule ranked No. 332 so the big numbers they are laying are too aggressive. South comes in at 5-5 and the Coyotes have had expected blowout losses against Missouri and Creighton with the other three losses by 10 points combined, two in overtime by two points each. These teams played one year ago with a one-point line and one point result so what has changed to make it 14 points higher? 10* (617) South Dakota Coyotes

This is a play on the OHIO ST. BUCKEYES for our CBB Star Attraction. This is the Big Ten Conference opener for Illinois and the Illini are one of three teams, along with Penn St. and Nebraska, not to have played at least one conference game. Illinois has gotten the late start in part because it has scheduled difficult nonconference opponents as the Illini are off games against Connecticut and Tennessee resulting in a loss and a win respectively. Now it is their conference opener and their first true road game of the season. Ohio St. opened the season 6-0 and then hit the road for the first time when it traveled to Pittsburgh and lost to the Panthers for a second straight season on a buzzer beating three-pointer. The Buckeyes rebounded with a four-point win at Northwestern on Saturday as they shot 66 percent from two-point range and they lead the country in that category at 65.5 percent. 10* (614) Ohio St. Buckeyes

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CHARGERS for our NFL Monday Primetime. The status of Justin Herbert will obviously affect this play and if he is ruled out, this will be a pass but currently this is a Justin Herbert line as it went up to 3 early in the week upon surgery and then dropped back down to 2-2.5 upon his questionable status. The Chargers should see the return of running back Omarion Hampton who has been out since October 5 and along with Kimani Vidal, this is a solid running duo and the Eagles got torn up last week against the Bears and D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai. The Chargers have outgained 10 of 12 opponents while the Eagles have been outgained by 10 of 12 opponents. The real injury news is on the other side however as the Eagles will be without right tackle Lane Johnson and defensive tackle Jalen Carter. They have been without Johnson the last two games and the running game has been non-existent as Philadelphia has rushed for 150 yards on 35 carries (4.3 ypc). The Eagles are just 8-15 ATS following a loss under head coach Nick Sirianni and this includes a 0-4 ATS mark when favored and coming off a loss as a home favorite. 10* (146) Los Angeles Chargers

This is a play on the SOUTHERN JAGUARS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. This may be considered a bounce back spot for Texas as it was rolled by Virginia in its last game by 19 points but any sort of focus could be lost on the fact that the Longhorns head to Hartford to face Connecticut on Friday. Texas did have a four-game stretch at home where it rolled in all four games, three wins by 37, 35 and 34 points and while this may seem like a similar spot, it is not. Those games were against teams rated 331, 357, 348 and 339 while Southern comes in rated No. 200. The Jaguars are 4-4 with three of the wins being non-Division I victories and while they did lose to Arkansas by 32 points, the Razorbacks are No. 27 at KenPom and No. 33 in the NET Rankings and Texas is far below in both. They won the SWAC regular season last year and while they are expected to take a step back, this is a deep team that led the country in bench minutes and are No. 38 this season. 10* (306533) Southern Jaguars

This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Signature Enforcer Winner. Sacramento is coming off a rare win as it snapped a four-game losing streak and temporarily put a hold on its longer-term 2-12 run with a 16-point win at Miami behind 42 points from Zach Lavine which included 29 first half points and he went 8-13 from long range. Regression is coming from that and injuries still remain an issue for the Kings. The Pacers are coming off a win in Chicago on Friday as they finally broke through on the road as they had opened 0-10 on the highway. They have won three of their last five games which is their best five-game stretch of the season as they came in 2-16 in their first 18 games and return home in a very good spot to win consecutive games for the second time. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are getting outscored by their opponents by six or more ppg, after scoring 125 points or more. This situation is 87-42 ATS (67.4 percent) since 1997. 10* (564) Indiana Pacers

This is a play on the SMU MUSTANGS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. After an 8-0 start, SMU got throttled at Vanderbilt in the ACC/SEC Challenge, losing by 19 points in a game it was never really in. The Mustangs went the final 6:49 without a field goal and SMU had its streak of 13 consecutive victories in nonconference regular-season games snapped with the loss. The Mustangs are listed as the home team here but it is being played at the home of the UT Arlington Mavericks but it is still a close 21 miles to the SMU campus. Texas A&M is finally playing basketball after a horrible start as it opened 2-2 with double-digit losses against Oklahoma St. and UCF. The Aggies have won five straight games but there are still issues and right in the middle of the winning streak was a win over Mississippi Valley St., the worst team in the country, allowing 84 points. 10* (800) SMU Mustangs

This is a play on the NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS for our CBB Rivalry Smash. Nebraska is off to an 8-0 start and after winning the CBC Championship last season, the Huskers own the nation’s longest current winning streak at 12 games. Typically, we like to fade these runs but in this case, the value is here as Nebraska has dropped its last three games against the number with the markets having to adjust. The Huskers begin Big Ten Conference action after this but there is no lookahead as this is a huge rivalry and it is time to get back on track as the road team has won and covered the last four meetings. Creighton is expected to contend in the Big East Conference once again but it has been an uneven start as the Bluejays are 5-3, going 4-0 at home while the one victory not in Omaha was in the Players ERA Tournament over a disappointing Oregon team that is 0-9 ATS. 10* (796) Nebraska Cornhuskers

This is a play on the LAS VEGAS RAIDERS for our Divisional Game of the Year. We will keep fading this overvalued and overhyped Denver team as it remains No. 2 in the Luck Ratings as it pulled off yet another win it easily could have lost, defeating Washington in overtime on a Commanders missed two-point conversion. The Broncos are 10-2 with eight of those wins coming by one possession including their last four wins by a total of 10 points. A nine-game winning streak is nothing to scoff at in this league as winning is hard but it can also be lucky at times and the markets have to keep adjusting the wrong way for bettors backing them. The Raiders were unable to get the offense going in the first game since offensive coordinator Chip Kelly was let go but now back home, the effort will continue to be there. Here, we play against road teams after allowing seven points or less in the first half in two straight games going up against an opponent after scoring 17 points or less in four straight games. This situation is 43-15 ATS (74.1 percent) since 1983. 10* (138) Las Vegas Raiders

This is a play on the UTSA ROADRUNNERS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. Alabama is coming off a win against Clemson but it was far from easy as the Tide built a huge early lead only to see the Tigers come back to actually take a lead but Alabama held on late. It has been a brutal schedule that is ranked No. 1 and this is the sleeper game before it ramps up again with a game against Arizona. Aden Holloway missed Wednesday's game against Clemson after aggravating a wrist injury and if head coach Nate Oats knows what to do long-term, Holloway sits again. Keitenn Bristow and Latrell Wrightsell Jr. also remained sidelined with injuries. UTSA is 4-4 and off a loss against South Alabama by 24 points and while this is nothing more than a payday for the Roadrunners, they could not catch Alabama at a better time and still getting an absurd amount of points. 10* (775) UTSA Roadrunners
