This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. This is the biggest letdown/bounce back spot on the card and we are laying the big number. Washington has been all over the place of late as it is 2-3 in its last five games but one of the losses was at Colorado, a very tough venue, and another against UCLA by a bucket and it was the latest one that was the most frustrating. The Huskies lost a rivalry battle with Seattle by four points as it had its worst shooting performance of the season but now faces one of the worst defenses in the country. San Diego meanwhile is coming off an 82-80 at UC San Diego on a last second three-point bank shot. After opening 0-2 on the road and going 0-12 last season, it was the first road win in nearly two years. It was also the first Quad 1 win in seven years so it was certainly an historic victory and one they are still celebrating and they will be a no show here. 10* (848) Washington Huskies

This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS for our NFL Monday Primetime. San Francisco was rooting hard for Seattle on Thursday night as with the Seahawks win, the 49ers now control their own destiny in the NFC West as if they win out, the division is theirs even if all three teams finish at 13-4 as their own the tiebreakers. This is a line that opened at 7 and then came all the way down to 4.5 following the Colts performance against the Seahawks Sunday night then steadily has been back up and down. The reason for the big early line move was the positive results from Philip Rivers and apparently, some are expecting a repeat but that is a lot to be asked and we do not see it. Look for a lot more of Jonathan Taylor and despite the injuries on the 49ers defense, they are still in the top half of the league in EPA/Rushing. San Francisco has won four straight games but only Carolina was a team not struggling but we can start putting the Colts in that category with four straight losses. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 10 points after a home game where both teams scored 24 or more points going up against an opponent off two consecutive road losses. This situation is 28-8 ATS (77.8 percent) since 1983. 10* (131) San Francisco 49ers

This is a play on the UT ARLINGTON MAVERICKS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. We played and lost with UT Arlington on Wednesday against Stanford and the difference was the transition game as it was outscored 19-3 in fast break points but it is a totally different situation here. The Mavericks sit at 7-4 and they were coming off a win at UT Rio Grande Valley and are now 3-3 on the road which is pretty decent after going 3-11 on the road all of last season. The other loss came on a neutral floor by four points against Campbell and this is a great bounce back spot. Oral Roberts is coming off a pair of road losses against Missouri St. and TCU but covered both and the Golden Eagles have now covered three straight games. They are 5-9 overall with three of those wins coming against non-Division I opponents on their home floor and they have gone 1-2 in their other three home games. This number is way too short for the Mavericks. 10* (837) UT Arlington Mavericks

This is is a play on the ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI for our CBB Star Attraction. This is a decent sized number for Illinois in a rivalry game but four of the last seven meetings have been blowouts and the Illini are in a great bounce back spot following a home loss against Nebraska. That was nine days ago so there has been plenty of time to skew about it. They have a big edge in the NET ranking so the number is warranted. Missouri opened the season with a road game at Howard and then played seven straight home games before a road game at Notre Dame and a neutral court game against Kansas, both losses. Overall, the Tigers have played the fourth easiest schedule in the country so their 10-2 record is flawed and now has another real test in a bad matchup. The shooting and rebound numbers are completely skewed because of the soft slate and on top of it, they are still without third leading scorer Jayden Stone. 10* (827) Illinois Fighting Illini

This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Ultimate Underdog. Indiana had New York on the ropes after the Knicks were coming off their NBA Cup championship but blew a 16-point lead and lost by a point and then came up small at then 6-22 New Orleans and lost by 19 points. The Pacers are now back in the Eastern Conference for a rivalry game and catching a big number in a buy low spot. The Celtics are now in a sell high spot and they have been playing exceptional with seven wins in their last nine games following back-to-back wins over Miami and Toronto. And while Indiana is a disappointment and banged up, the fact Boston is favored more here than they were against Washington three games back is an overadjustment. Here, we play against teams off a road win against a division rival when playing their 3rd game in four days. This situation is 79-30 ATS (72.5 percent) since 2022. 10* (515) Indiana Pacers

This is a play on the UTAH ST. AGGIES for our Idaho Potato Bowl Winner. Utah St. opened as the underdog in this game and the line flipped right after opening and the Aggies got bet up to as many as 4 points before the number has gradually been coming down and it is an odd move based on what is happening at Washington St. The Cougars lost head coach Jimmy Rogers to Iowa St. and it will be defensive coordinator Jesse Bobbit serving as the interim coach and his unit has been the strength but is still susceptible. On offense, leading rusher Kirby Vorhees, who ran for 576 yards and five touchdowns, has entered the transfer portal and will be out and that is a big loss to an offense that already struggled running the ball. Quarterback Zevi Eckhaus is the leading rusher that is playing with his 337 yards but he averages only 3.4 ypc and he struggled throwing the ball, completing only 63.5 percent of his passes while throwing 12 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Utah St. is also down a weapon on offense as leading receiver Braden Pegan is in the transfer portal but there is depth and quarterback Bryson Barnes who was Second Team All-MWC led an offense that ranked No. 37 in EPA. Utah St. also has the big coaching edge in Bronco Mendenhall. 10* (210) Utah St. Aggies

This is a play on the BALTIMORE RAVENS for our NFL Sunday Primetime. The Ravens snapped a two-game losing streak within the division with a must-needed win over the Bengals to get back to .500 and keep pace with the Steelers in the AFC North as they are one game back. It is a scenario where if they win this week and the Steelers upset the Lions, next week would be meaningless to both teams with the Week 18 matchup deciding the division. The Steelers are in a tough spot though and Baltimore could definitely use this one with this being their last home game of the season and heading to Green Bay which is also playoff hunting as a loss here could be detrimental. The P:atriots are off a brutal loss and came back down to earth after a nine-game winning streak and now we can see how the response will be and it is likely unfavorable. The perfect 6-0 road record is also a contrarian go against. Here, we play on home teams in the second half of the season with a winning percentage between .450 and .550 off a win against a division rival. This situation is 36-12 (75 percent) since 2016. 10* (114) Baltimore Ravens

This is a play on the CAL POLY MUSTANGS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Cal Poly has lost three straight games but it cannot feel too bad as the last loss was against UCLA on the road and the first two came at home against UC Riverside and Montana St. by seven points combined so the Mustangs have been close. They were 5-5 prior to this skid which included a 2-0 record at home against non-Division I teams so this is a big statement game to get their first home win against a Division I team and they are getting no respect with this number. This is a buy low spot on Cal Poly as the markets are down as it should be favored here at home. Idaho is coming off a win over Evergreen St., its third non-Division I win and all were at home and the Vandals hit the road where they are a respectable 2-3 with this being the first of two California games in three days prior to their break and the start of Big 12 Conference action. 10* (760) Cal Poly Mustangs

This is a play on the COLUMBIA LIONS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. California has won eight straight games following a 47-point win over Morgan St., rated No. 360, on Friday and it has been a very favorable schedule to their 11-1 start to the season as the Golden Bears have left the state only once. That continues here but this is a sleepy spot against the third best team it has faced all season based on rating. They are only 26 spots higher than Columbia in the NET Ratings. They are likely without second leading scorer Justin Pippen who is going to be held back until ACC play. Columbia went 1-13 last season in the Ivy League but looks to be a threat this season with four senior returning starters and a new head coach and the attitude is already different. The Lions lost at Connecticut in Game Two then won eight straight before losing to Stony Brook in overtime in their last game 12 days ago. Live dog here. 10* (747) Columbia Lions

This is a play on the LAS VEGAS RAIDERS for our NFL Ultimate Underdog. This one could not be more of a public game as late in the week, the 91 percent of the money on Houston is the highest bet side and this is officially the time to sell high as we fell flat with Arizona last week in a similar spot but this one is much better based on the opponent. The Texans have won six straight games while covering four straight and this is not a good combination as teams in this spot and listed as double-digit favorites are just 2-7 ATS. Despite the run, the Texans are in the final Wild Card spot in the AFC and will need help from the Jaguars to get to the top of the AFC South. The Raiders are not good and coming off a shutout as a double-digit underdog, no one in their right mind will be backing them this week but this is the time to do so. Teams that were shut out in their previous game are 35-17 ATS since 2015 including 5-0 ATS this season after Washington last week. Here, we play on road teams after seven or more consecutive losses, after the first month of the season. This situation is 44-17 (72.1 percent) since 1983. 10* (127) Las Vegas Raiders
