Handicapper Profile

#524 Indiana Pacers -9.5 (8:00 est) TNT

Love the Pacers in this spot since they are at home and they get to play a Portland team that is not good on the road is not good defensively.  Portland is just 12-18 ATS on the road and they have failed to cover their last 5 games in a row.  Look for the Pacers to be fired up for a rare opportunity at the national TV spotlight and look for them to be looking for some revenge from a loss at Portland earlier this season.  Lay it with Indiana here to watch and win with Anthony.

#842 Florida Gators -3.5 (9:00 est) ESPN2

Give me Florida here since they are super strong on the defensive side of the floor and they are going to be fighting mad coming off of their last game which was a SU loss to Kentucky.  Florida is excellent at home and the Tigers from LSU have been shaky lately losing 3 of their last 5 games overall with 2 of those losses on the road and they only have 2 covers in their last 7 games.  Play Florida to watch and win with Anthony.

#612 Michigan State Spartans -7.5 (7:00 est) ESPN2

Love the Spartans here since they are 9-4 ATS at home on the season and they will be super motivated for a good home showing after losing their last 2 home games in a row.  Iowa is just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 meetings with the Spartans and Michigan State has the statistical edge on the defensive side of the court.  Lay it with Michigan State here.

#877 Oklahoma State Cowboys + 15 (9:00 est) ESPN

Give me the ton of points here since Oklahoma State will be super motivated for making a good showing on national TV against the top team in the conference.  They have motivation from a same season loss at home to Kansas and they are 7-6 ATS on the road this season.  Kansas is usually over-priced at home as evidenced by their 6-7 ATS home record and they are going to be on a big emotional downer since their last game was an emotionally charged road win over top-ranked Baylor.  Don't see them being excited here against Ok State.  Take the Cowboys and the points here.

#857 Maryland Terrapins +2.5 (4:00 est) CBS

Give me Maryland here since this is a case of 2 teams going in very different directions.  Maryland is smoking hot winning 9 straight games and they are not fazed by playing on the road while the Buckeyes are very inconsistent right now coming off of a bad loss at Iowa.  Ohio State started the season very well and were highly ranked but since then have struggled mightily - not a good thing against an awesome team like Maryland.  Maryland has covered 7 of the last 8 matchups in this series and the Buckeyes have only covered 1 of their last 8 Sunday games.  Take the Terps here. 

#730 Kentucky Wildcats -4.5 (6:00 est) ESPN

Love the home-standing Wildcats here since they are undefeated at home in SEC play and they will be motivated to get this win and put Florida in a very bad spot in the conference standings.  Florida is a good team but they are just not talented enough to hang with Kentucky on the road.  The Favorite has covered 8 of the last 10 games in this series and Florida has only covered 3 of their last 11 Saturday games.  Look for the Wildcats to pull away late on their way to a win and cover here.

#523 Denver Nuggets pick (8:00 est) ESPN

Give me the Nuggets here since they have covered 10 of the last 11 against the Thunder and  Denver has been playing very well before the break going 6-2 SU with the 2 losses both in OT - one of those OT losses was in their last game before the break to the Lakers so they will be ready to make amends for that tough loss here.  Ok City had a good run before the break but that was aided big time by playing weak competition.  Look for Denver to get this cover here. 

#507 Brooklyn Nets +8 (8:00 est) TNT

Give me the Nets and the points here since these teams have played 3 times already this season so they are familiar with each other and that will help the Nets stay close.  Brooklyn is not that far off of the 76ers from a statistical standpoint and they were playing very well before the break.  Philly has been excellent at home this season but the linesmaker has caught up to them making them super high-priced at home.  Take the Nets and the points here.

#799 Auburn Tigers -3 (7:00 est) ESPN2

Give me the Tigers here since they are going to be super motivated to get a win after their last game which was a SU loss to Missouri and they are taking on the struggling Bulldogs who only have 2 SU conference wins all season long.  Georgia has lost 4 games in a row and they don't appear to have any ability to hang with a team as good as Auburn here.  Auburn has covered 10 of the last 12 in this series as well.  Play the Tigers to watch and win with Anthony. 

#628 Marquette Golden Eagles -2 (8:30 est) Fox Sports One 

Give me the home team in this battle of Top 25 ranked teams.  The Golden Eagles have covered 7 of their last 8 games overall and they are 9-4 ATS at home this season.  They also will be super motivated since they got whopped by 17 in their meeting earlier this season with the Bluejays.   Take Marquette here to watch and win with Anthony on Tuesday night.
