This is a play on the ARMY BLACK KNIGHTS for our Army/Navy Dominator. Navy snapped a two-game losing streak in this series with a convincing 31-13 win as it outgained Army 378-178 and it marked the third time in the last four years that the underdog has won outright. For the Midshipmen, they finished in a tie with Tulane and North Texas atop the American at 7-1 but missed out on the championship game because of tiebreakers. The season is far from done as they have this rivalry and a date with Cincinnati in the Liberty Bowl on January 2. It was a disappointing season for Army after coming off a 12-win season in 2024 but it lost a lot coming in so the Black Knights were not expected to have the same success and it started rough with a 1-3 start that included a season opening loss to Tarleton St. of the FCS but the Texans are the No. 5 ranked team in the FCS and Army went on to close out 5-2 with the two losses coming by eight points combined. We have another live dog this season. Here, we play on neutral field underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points off a win against a conference rival, with a winning record on the season. This situation is 42-13 ATS (76.4 percent) since 2021 with a scoring differential of +2.8 ppg. 10* (453) Army Black Knights

This is a play on the BUTLER BULLDOGS for our CBB Afternoon Dominator. Butler opened the season 7-1 but is coming off a loss at home against Boise St. one week ago and this is a good rebound spot as it remains home to open Big East Conference action. The Bulldogs have a game at Connecticut on deck which heightens the importance of this one. Providence is coming off a pair of rivalry wins against Rhode Island and Brown to make it three straight wins. The Friars are 6-0 at home but have struggled outside Providence as they are 1-4 with the lone win against Penn St. at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut and in its only true road game, the were leveled at Colorado exactly one month ago. 10* (632) Butler Bulldogs

This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our NBA Signature Enforcer Winner. Chicago opened the season 5-0 and it has been a disaster since then with the Bulls going 4-14 since then including losses in seven straight while covering just one of those games. They are on a current 1-9 ATS run and this is the time to jump on as it is buy low time. This is also the contrarian angle as Chicago is 0-6 ATS as a road favorite this season. The Hornets are coming off a cover loss against the Nuggets and have lost three of four games following a rare two-game winning streak. As banged up as the Bulls are, the Hornets are just as banged up and their floor leader LaMelo Ball is out after missing the Denver game. Here, we play on road teams where the line is +3 to -3 with a winning percentage between .250 and .400 after being beaten by the spread by more than 6 points in three consecutive games. This situation is 25-5 ATS (83.3 percent) since 1997. 10* (583) Chicago Bulls

This is a play on the MISSOURI ST. BEARS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Xavier has turned things around after an uneven start as the Musketeers have won four straight games following a 3-3 start. The three losses did come against the three toughest opponents with only one of those coming at home but none of those were in a spot like this. Xavier is coming off a win against Cincinnati, its biggest rival, in the Crosstown Shootout and that presents a letdown situation especially with a lesser nonconference opponent. On top of it, the Musketeers start Big East Conference action in their next game against Creighton which is one of the top three teams heading into the season. Missouri St. is 4-4 with all four wins coming at home and coming off a loss at Tulsa which is rated No. 80 while getting eight points and now facing a team rated No. 83 and getting well over double that. 10* (881) Missouri St. Bears

This is a play on the TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS for our NFL Thursday Primetime. Tampa Bay has absolutely fallen apart as a home loss against New Orleans last week put the Buccaneers at 1-4 over their last five games and dropped them to 7-6 overall. The loss to the Saints was a bad one but it was in some horrible weather while the other three losses came against the Patriots, Bills and Rams which are a combined 30-9. They are tied with Carolina in the NFC South but own the early tiebreaker and still have two games left with the Panthers and can ill afford another divisional loss here. What seals the play here is that Tampa Bay is 0-5 ATS in its last five games and that is the contrarian play on. The Falcons are coming off a loss against Seattle in a game that was close for a half and then special teams and turnovers did them in. The loss eliminated Atlanta from any sort of playoff contention and both sides of the ball are regressing quickly. Tampa Bay is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 games off a loss by six points or less. Here, we play on teams off an upset loss as a favorite with a winning record playing a losing team in the second half of the season. This situation is 61-21 ATS (74.4 percent) since 2016. 10* (452) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

This is a play on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Signature Enforcer Winner. We had to wait to see how this line went after the Wembanyama injury info. The Spurs and Lakers meet in one of the two Western Conference Quarterfinals of the NBA Cup and unfortunately not at full strength. San Antonio is still without Victor Wembanyama but it has not hurt that much as they are 8-3 in the 11 games that he has missed and they have also benefited from the return of Stephon Castle who missed nine games and the last game against New Orleans was the first game that Castle, Dylan Harper and De'Aaron Fox all were available in a game. The Lakers got 29 points from LeBron James after his double-digit scoring record was finally snapped and the Lakers have now won nine of their last 11 games. They are 7-3 at home but overpriced in this spot which is based on the Wembanyama injury and at this point, should not be. Here, we play on teams in a game involving two teams allowing 47 percent shooting or higher and after two straight games allowing 55 percent shooting or higher. This situation is 22-9 (71 percent) since 2022. 10* (503) San Antonio Spurs

This is a play on the NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS for our CBB Star Attraction. We won with the Huskers on Sunday and will go back to them again here. Nebraska is off to an 9-0 start and after winning the CBC Championship last season, the Huskers own the nation’s longest current winning streak at 13 games. As mentioned against the Bluejays, we like to fade these runs but in this case once again, it is a special spot as that was a big rivalry and this is their Big Ten Conference opener. Wisconsin comes in 7-2 as it is also coming off a win over a big rival as it defeated Marquette by 20 points at home. The two losses have been against TCU in San Diego and BYU in Salt Lake City and while the latter can be considered a road game. it was not a true campus road game and this will be their first one of the season. There is revenge on the line for the Huskers which lost in Madison by 28 points last season. 10* (662) Nebraska Cornhuskers

This is a play on the KANSAS CITY ROOS for our CBB Revenge Smash. Kansas City will not be a popular play and the markets are adjusting as the Roos have lost eight straight games following a season opening win Evangel Valor, an NAIA team, by only six points. There was obviously no line in that game and they have gone 1-7 in their eight lined games, including five current straight losses against the number with the lone cover coming against Texas when they were getting 31 points. While they have failed to cover both home games, this is the biggest number the Roos have seen on their home floor and there in not only motivation to get into the win column but also get some revenge from a 21-point loss at Weber St. that just happened 10 days ago. The Wildcats are coming off a loss at St. Thomas to fall to 0-4 on the road and it also snapped a solid 6-1 ATS run and that is a public streak. 10* (658) Kansas City Roos

This is a play on the MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Marshall has lost three straight games after going down at Ohio on Saturday and looks to snap that against a formal rival. The Hilltoppers and Thundering Herd met at least twice a year from 2015–2022 as members of Conference USA and Western Kentucky, following a win last season, has won eight straight meetings in this series which gives Marshall more focus. The Thundering Herd return home where they are 3-1 with the loss coming in the last game here against Lipscomb so they will be out to make up for that as well. Western Kentucky is 6-2 following a pair of wins over Wichita St. and Evansville by a combined six points and the win over the Purple Aces snapped a 5-0 ATS run. The Hilltoppers have played one true road game, a win over Eastern Kentucky, a team rated 106 spots lower than Marshall. 10* (650) Marshall Thundering Herd

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
