Rafael Esparza (VSI)

3 Unit Play. Take #241 Under 55 Virginia vs Navy (1:30p.m., Thursday December 28 ESPN - Military Bowl)

The Military Bowl is at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Maryland and with Navy playing this game how motivated are they to play this game. Navy could still be dealing with the tough loss to Army earlier this month so they might come out slow against a tough Virginia defense. Navy closed out their season with 3-straight UNDER games and you figure both teams will want to establish the run and if that is the case then I see the clock ticking away. Virginia had tough times scoring this year and their last game they score 0 points against Virginia Tech and Thursday afternoon I see this Military Bowl game flying under. Navy is 2-6 O/U in their last 8 non-conference games and the running attack of both teams will keep this game under.


2 Unit Play. Take #241 Under 63 Virginia Tech vs Oklahoma St (5:15p.m., Thursday December 28 ESPN - Camping World Bowl)

Virginia Tech held Virginia to 0 points in their last game and the Hokies this year went 3-8-1 O/U. We all know that Oklahoma St can put up big numbers on offense but I see the Hokies defense controlling the tempo and this game stays under. Virginia Tech is 0-6 O/U against a team with a winning record and the Hokies are 1-3-1 O/U in non-conference games.

Thursday card has the 18-0 College Bowl Total of the year and a powerful Holiday Bowl. In hoops action we have a 5* RPI Scale power system and NBA Plays with 25-1 and 23-0 Systems, Late night NBA Comp play below.

The NBA Comp play is on Portland at 10:35 eastern. the Blazers have a big rest advantage here not having played in 4 days. Portland also plays this one with 20 point loss revenge on Philadelphia. For our system we see that non conference home teams with 4 or more days rest that covered the spread as a road dog of 4 or less and had 15 or less turnovers are a solid 7-0 ats since 1995. The sample size is small but the Sixers have not played well this month and have failed to cover 9 of 12 in December. The Blazers have covered 3 of 4 off a dog win and are 7-2 vs teams under .500. Look for portland to get the cover. On Thursday we have our Bowl total of the year going in afternoon action and a powerful side play on the Holiday bowl. In College hoops we have another Exclusive 5* RPI Scale system play with 6 angles and 2 NBA Plays with 23-0 and 25-1 Systems and angles. Message or see us on facebook to jump on. For the Free pick. Play on Portland. Rob V- GC Sports

3-Unit Play. #523. Take Houston -14.5 over South Florida (Thursday @ 7pm est)
We roll with Houston here as they open up conference play against South Florida. This is a 10-2 team by Kalvin Sampson and that has historically done very well when they face teams in their season opener. We like the fact that this team comes off a huge win against Providence winning 70-59 and though that seems like it could be a let down, remember that Houston is split the season series with South Florida last year and they will not take them lightly especially as the conference opens up. This team did not make the NCAA Tournament last year so they have all the motivation in the world to do well in conference play because their non-conference resume is quite impressive. This team lost to Arkon in the post-season last year as well, this team has wins over the likes of Wake Forrest, hammering Arkansas 91-65, nearly beating LSU and of course the Providence win so this team does not want what happened last year to happen to them again this year. This is a top 30 offense, top 60 defense and top 40 in 3 point shooting. Plus, South Florida will take some time to rebuild and Brian Gregory (former Georgia Tech head coach), has done a good job in rebuilding slowly. But, this team won 7 games last year, is outside the top 300 in offense, lost to Indiana a top 80 team by 17 (Houston is a top 40 team), lost to App State by 23 and as this team faces an elite offense and with Houston focused, this sets up well here for Houston to do well today.

4 Unit Play. #529 Take Oakland -1.5 over Milwaukee (8p.m., Thursday December 28) The Golden Grizzles are the top team in the league and should be able to take down the Panthers in Milwaukee tonight. Oakland played a very challenging nonconference schedule and they should accumulate a lot of wins in conference as Kansas, Syracuse, & Michigan State are not in the Horizon League. Oakland is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Horizon League games. Milwaukee is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games.

1-Unit Play. Take #519 Providence (+6) over St. John's (7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 28)
I like this St. John's team. But I don't know how well they are going to perform as a favorite and Providence has a style that is suited for the underdog role. The Red Storm may or may not have their second-best player back, but there's no telling how effective Marcus Lovett will be if he does play. I think that Providence has a chance to win this game outright so I will take the points.

2-Unit Play. Take #528 Northern Kentucky (-13.5) over IUPUI (7:30 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 28)
Northern Kentucky is one of the best teams in the Horizon and I think that they will lay the wood at home here to a feeble IUPUI team. IUPUI has just one win over D-I teams this year and that was back on Nov. 21. They've gotten smoked by a lot worse teams than the Norse, and after two straight losses and over a week off I think that Northern Kentucky is going to be ready to come out firing and lay the lumber.

4-Unit Play. Take #529 Oakland (-2.5) over Milwaukee (8 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 28)
Oakland is the most talented team in the Horizon League and they are facing one of last year's bottom feeders. The Grizz have played one of the toughest mid-major schedules in the country and they have still managed to come out of it with a winning record to this point. I think they are going to really take off here in conference play against a bunch of overmatched opponents. Oakland has the three best players on the floor in this one and I don't think they will be rattled by Milwaukee's slow pace.

1-Unit Play. Take #542 UT-San Antonio (-12) over Rice (8 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 28)
Rice is an awful team and I don't have any problems betting against them anytime, anywhere. They only have one win over a D-I team and they have been routinely blown out. UT-SA is a team that scores a lot and in bunches and I think they can run past the Owls here.

1-Unit Play. Take #543 LSU (-2.5) over Memphis (9 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 28)
Memphis is going to struggle through this year's rebuild all season long. LSU is absolutely nothing to write home about. But they have an outstanding guard in Tremont Waters and he is certainly better than anything Memphis is packing. LSU has bigger and better athletes and a bit more experience. And Memphis hasn't proven that it can win these types of games yet.

2-Unit Play. Take #560 Fairfield (-2.5) over St. Peter's (7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 28)
Fairfield has struggled in the nonconference. But I think that they are better equipped to handle the *****s of conference play. They have a light's out shooter in tyler Nelson and four of their five starters back from last year's squad. St. Peter's, on the other hand, lost three of their five starters and their two best players. It has already been a struggle for them against anything but the dregs of college hoops and I don't see them getting a true road win over a better opponent.

8 Unit Play. Take #505/506 Minnesota Timberwolves vs Milwaukee Bucks Over 212 (8:05 PM, Thursday, December 28)


Two teams that have been trending to the over will meet when the Minnesota Timberwolves hit the road to take on the Bucks at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee, WI on Thursday night. The Timberwolves have posted a perfect 4-0 record to the over in their last four road games where they faced a team with a winning record at home and they have that same 4-0 record to the over in their last four road games overall. They have also gone over the total in seven of their last nine games where they faced a team from the Central Division and they are an impressive 37-16 to the over in their last 53 games versus a team from the Eastern Conference going back into the 2016/17 season. The Bucks have been an over team as well in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone a perfect 4-0-1 to the over in their last five games where they were playing with one day of rest and they are also a perfect 7-0-1 to the over in their last eight home games. They have also gone over the number in each of their last five games versus a team from the Western Conference and they are a lights out 15-5-1 to the over in their last 21 games overall. A deeper look into the team stats will show you why we like the over this evening. Both teams are in the top half of the league in scoring with the TWolves putting up 108.4 PPG, good for 6th in the NBA and the Bucks are scoring 105.2 PPG, good for 14th. They have also both struggled to get stops on the defensive end as Minnesota is giving up just over 106 PPG, which places them 19th in the league and the Bucks have been nearly as bad, checking in at 17th while allowing 105.8 PPG. Throw in the fact that the TWolves are 9-3 to the over in their thirteen games played in the month of December and that the Bucks have gone an insane 12-0 to the over in their twelve games this month and that's where we'll have our play as we expect both teams to push the pace in Milwaukee, giving us a winner Wednesday night in our 8-Unit NBA Total of the Year!

1-Unit Play. Take #507 New York (+12) over San Antonio (8:30 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 28)

The Knicks aren't a good road team, but we are gambling on if they win this game outright. Our play is on them to cover this big line, and they will do just that. The Knicks covered both games versus the Spurs last season, and they were a much worse squad. Look for New York to keep this game respectable tonight. The Knicks have had success versus the Western Conference as well as of late covering eight of their last nine versus the West. Take the points in this matchup as the Knicks have covered four of their last five trips to San Antonio.

*New York (+12 ½) over SAN ANTONIO

Rotation #507 – 5:35 pm Pacific

San Antonio barely covered against the Nets as an 11 ½ point favorite (won by 12 with some positive 3-point variance) and now they’re favored by 12 ½ over the Knicks? I understand that New York played last night but New York is an average team and even with a rest advantage the Spurs would have to be 8 points better than an average team to justify a line this high. So far this season the Spurs have been 2.6 points better than an average team and even with Kawhi Leonard back they are still not an elite team until the prove it. I rate the Spurs at 5 points better than average with Leonard still playing limited minutes (26 minutes has been his maximum so far) and I’d favor San Antonio by just 9 ½ points in this game and I’ll take New York in a 1-Star Best Bet at +12 points or more.



***Detroit (-4 at -115 odds) over ORLANDO

Line moved back to -4.5 after I released this play to subscribers

Rotation #501 – 4:05 pm Pacific

Orlando was already a bad team without Terrence Ross and losing Nikola Vucevic is a major blow even with Evan Fournier and possibly Aaron Gordon back in the lineup. As I pointed out in Tuesday’s anti-Magic play, Gordon and Fournier both have really negative plus-minus numbers when Ross and Vucevic are both on the bench. The problem with Vucevic not playing is it gives more minutes to Bismak Biyombo, who started on Thursday. Biyombo has a plus-minus of -186 points in 550.7 minutes this season, which is -16.2 points per 48 minutes. The Magic are actually even in point differential in the minutes that Vucevic has been on the court this season, so you can see why I rate Orlando much lower with Vucevic out.

Reggie Jackson has going Avery Bradley on the injury list for Detroit but that’s actually not a problem at all. Detroit has won 4 of 5 games without Bradley in the lineup and Jackson has always been a negative impact player. Detroit got much worse last season when Jackson joined the rotation after missing a big chunk of games at the beginning of the season and he has a -11 plus-minus this season on a team that is +39 in points margin for the season. Actually, when either Bradley or Jackson are on the floor the Pistons have been outscored by 13 points in 1083.7 minutes this season and Detroit is +52 points in 500.3 minutes (+5.0 points per 48 minutes) when both guards are sitting on the bench. Part of that is due to Bradley and Jackson mostly playing against their opponent’s starting units but after adjusting for that I still rate the Pistons as a bit better without Jackson and Bradley (all because Jackson is a negative player).

The Magic are now 3-20 straight up and 5-17-1 ATS in their last 23 games, and they’re even worse without Vucevic, and my player specific ratings favor Detroit by 9 ½ points in this game. I’ll take Detroit in a 3-Star Best Bet at -5 points or less and for 2-Stars up to -6 points.

4 Unit Play. Take #509 Under 208 Philadelphia at Portland (10:35p.m., Thursday December 28)
A little shocked that this total came up so high as the Portland Trailblazers are 9-24 O/U this season. The Blazers offense struggled in their last home game against the Nuggets dropping that game 102-85 and that total was 203.5 so know you are telling me tonight this total is 208. The Philadelphia 76ers come to the Rose Garden trending UNDER games going 1-3 O/U in their last 4 games and tonight I see a defensive battle between these two non-conference opponents. Philadelphia is 7-20 O/U against Northwest division teams and the Blazers are 2-10 O/U in their last 12 home games.

4 Unit Play. Take #63 Under 5.5 -115 Calgary at San Jose (10:35p.m., Thursday December 28)
Tonight the Calgary Flames travel to the SAP Center at San Jose and tonight I see the Shark Tank making it a long evening for the Flames. I was looking at San Jose tonight in this NHL matchup but getting 5.5 -115 on the UNDER seems a steal. Last Saturday we had the UNDER in the Sharks/Kings game at the SAP Center and cashed with a Sharks 'W' 2-0 and tonight I see another low scoring game in Northern Cal. Calgary comes to California trending UNDER games going 1-5 O/U in their last 6 games and tonight the Flames struggle to put the puck in the net. Calgary is 0-8 O/U against a team with a winning record and the Flames are 1-4 O/U in their last 5 road games.

STANFORD at (246) TCU

4% TCU -2.5 (-110)

The Cardinals have been all about getting running back Bryce Love his 2,000 yards... more than a victory tonight... assisting Love in this landmark season acheivement will be Stanford's goal, according to HC Shaw.

"As usual, it's probably more important to the other guys than it is to Bryce. Bryce just shrugs his shoulders at all those things," Shaw said. "Most rushes over 50 yards record, all that stuff, he kind of shrugs his shoulders, OK, that's great. When is practice?

Love isn't 100 percent after suffering an ankle injury last month. He looked gimpy according to reports during bowl preps with what has been titlted, a high ankle sprain.

TCU has the crowd advantage, the time zone advantage and in essense this is a home game for the Frogs.

TCU is better defensively and while the Cards crew want Love to achieve his 2000 yard season this game is all about the quarterback play of TCU. Hill had a 138.5 QBR in December and the Frogs only losses this season came against ranked foes, Iowa State and OU (twice)... and the Sooners just might be the best team in football when all is said and done this season.

Stephen Nover's All-Access Thursday Sweep

CBB

Louisiana Tech vs Western Kentucky
Louisiana Tech +9 (-110)

This is the Conference USA opener for both teams - and it's too many points for Western Kentucky to be laying.
Conference USA is wide open this season with no clear-cut favorite. Louisiana Tech has the better record and also averages four more points per game than Western Kentucky.

The Bulldogs defeated Western Kentucky by nine points last season as a 12-point home favorite. Now look at the line. Good value here to Louisiana Tech.



San Francisco vs San Diego
Under 131 (-110)

I always think defense when San Diego is involved. The Toreros are No. 1 in 3-point defense, rank 12th in fewest points allowed per game and are eighth in defensive field goal percentage. San Francisco is improved defensively allowing 66.3 points a game and rank in the top 65 in defensive efficiency. Neither offense is very good. The intensity should be up as this is a West Coast Conference matchup. The Under has won in 12 of San Francisco's last 16 WCC games. The Under has cashed in 11 of San Diego's past 13 conference games. So I see this total as opening too high. The Under should be good all the way to 125.



NBA

Wolves vs Bucks
Over 212.5 (-105)

I'm going to roll with the tide and play this matchup to go Over. The Bucks have been a monster Over team going 14-2-1 above the number in their last 17 games. Milwaukee has reached triple digits in each of its last 16 games and is averaging 110.4 points during its last nine games. That shouldn't change here as the Bucks are off an embarrassing 115-106 home loss to the Bulls two nights ago and catch the Timberwolves in action for the third time in four days and second in two nights having nipped the Nuggets, 128-125 in overtime, last night. The Timberwolves rank last in the league in defensive field goal percentage. The Bucks have the perimeter shooters to take full advantage. Minnesota is averaging 113.5 points in its last seven games. The Timberwolves have gone Over in seven of their past eight games, including the last five. Jimmy Butler has been on fire and Karl-Anthony Towns could dominate against a weak rebounding Bucks front line. The Timberwolves may not have starting point guard Jeff Teague. But Tyus Jones is one of the more underrated backup point guards in the league. He's better than an 83 percent foul shooter and is second on the Timberwolves in 3-point shooting percentage.




CFB

Stanford vs TCU
Stanford +3 (-101)

These are two strong defensive teams. Stanford is holding foes to 21.5 point a game, 25th-best in the country. The oddsmaker, of course, knows this. That's why we have a relatively low total here. So points matter. And I'll gladly accept them with Stanford, who I rate as better than TCU. Stanford has gone to a bowl game nine straight seasons. The Cardinal has won their last three bowl games. I really like them as underdogs in the David Shaw era as they've covered 80 percent of the time in 15 games in that role under Shaw. Stanford beat Washington by eight points and Notre Dame by 18 as an underdog this season while also covering as a 'dog against USC in the Pac-12 championship game. TCU quarterback Kenny Hill has failed to step up in big games. His worst games came away from home, too. I prefer Stanford's power ground attack headed by speedster Bryce Love. The Horned Frogs are not used to facing this type of offense. They play an unorthodox 3-3-5 defense. This defense is geared to stop the numerous spread offenses in the Big 12 not the type of offense Stanford employs.



NHL

Blackhawks vs Canucks
Over 5.5 (-106)

The Blackhawks gave up four goals each to the Stars and Devils - both on the road - during their last two games before the Christmas break. Now, coming out of break, the Blackhawks should be refreshed and full of energy. They can take advantage of Vancouver, which ranks 26th defensively and has yielded nine power-play goals in its last seven games. The problem for Chicago, though, is it won't have star goalie Corey Crawford. He's out for at least the next three games. It's a huge step down from Crawford to backup Anton Forsberg, who is 1-4-3 with a 3.13 GAA. The Canucks' offense is respectable thanks to rookie Brock Boseser, who has 20 goals including seven in his last nine games.

*New York (+12 ½) over SAN ANTONIO

Rotation #507 – 5:35 pm Pacific

San Antonio barely covered against the Nets as an 11 ½ point favorite (won by 12 with some positive 3-point variance) and now they’re favored by 12 ½ over the Knicks? I understand that New York played last night but New York is an average team and even with a rest advantage the Spurs would have to be 8 points better than an average team to justify a line this high. So far this season the Spurs have been 2.6 points better than an average team and even with Kawhi Leonard back they are still not an elite team until the prove it. I rate the Spurs at 5 points better than average with Leonard still playing limited minutes (26 minutes has been his maximum so far) and I’d favor San Antonio by just 9 ½ points in this game and I’ll take New York in a 1-Star Best Bet at +12 points or more.



***Detroit (-4 at -115 odds) over ORLANDO

Line moved back to -4.5 after I released this play to subscribers

Rotation #501 – 4:05 pm Pacific

Orlando was already a bad team without Terrence Ross and losing Nikola Vucevic is a major blow even with Evan Fournier and possibly Aaron Gordon back in the lineup. As I pointed out in Tuesday’s anti-Magic play, Gordon and Fournier both have really negative plus-minus numbers when Ross and Vucevic are both on the bench. The problem with Vucevic not playing is it gives more minutes to Bismak Biyombo, who started on Thursday. Biyombo has a plus-minus of -186 points in 550.7 minutes this season, which is -16.2 points per 48 minutes. The Magic are actually even in point differential in the minutes that Vucevic has been on the court this season, so you can see why I rate Orlando much lower with Vucevic out.

Reggie Jackson has going Avery Bradley on the injury list for Detroit but that’s actually not a problem at all. Detroit has won 4 of 5 games without Bradley in the lineup and Jackson has always been a negative impact player. Detroit got much worse last season when Jackson joined the rotation after missing a big chunk of games at the beginning of the season and he has a -11 plus-minus this season on a team that is +39 in points margin for the season. Actually, when either Bradley or Jackson are on the floor the Pistons have been outscored by 13 points in 1083.7 minutes this season and Detroit is +52 points in 500.3 minutes (+5.0 points per 48 minutes) when both guards are sitting on the bench. Part of that is due to Bradley and Jackson mostly playing against their opponent’s starting units but after adjusting for that I still rate the Pistons as a bit better without Jackson and Bradley (all because Jackson is a negative player).

The Magic are now 3-20 straight up and 5-17-1 ATS in their last 23 games, and they’re even worse without Vucevic, and my player specific ratings favor Detroit by 9 ½ points in this game. I’ll take Detroit in a 3-Star Best Bet at -5 points or less and for 2-Stars up to -6 points.

*Minnesota (+4 ½) over MILWAUKEE

Rotation #505 – 5:05 pm Pacific

Minnesota played overtime last night, which is about a full point adjustment against them, but I like the Timberwolves’ current rotation (even though I had Denver +5.5 last night) and I am not found of the Bucks, who are a bit overrated. Minnesota is improved now that Shabazz Muhammed stopped being in the rotation. Minnesota has outscored opponents by a total of 76 points this season but they’re -115 points when Muhammad is on the floor. It’s not a coincidence that Minnesota is 10-3 straight up in games Muhammad does not play in and my ratings, based on current rotations, favor Milwaukee by just 1 ½ points even with an extra couple of points added to their home court advantage for Minnesota playing overtime last night. I’ll take Timberwolves in a 1-Star Best Bet at +4 points or more.

No ranking just a volume load of plays. You will get juiced to death playing him with a bookie. If you have 5 dimes reduced juice or some type of option you can make good money with him. He was legit with the bowl games in years past. I think last year was his only bad year in NCAAF. I have followed him for years, but have not followed or tracked him this year. Baskets are a newer thing to him. When I started with him he did not really have many baskets, but now he is releasing a bunch of games. Not sure how they do for him. They seemed just ok when I followed him. Good luck.
