4 Unit Play. #541 Take UCLA -5 over Utah (9:30 pm PAC-12 Network) The Bruins are starting to turn it on after yet another slow start and will enter this game having won 8 straight games. UCLA was not as strong last year and still beat the Utes by 27 points and I expect a double digit victory tonight at the Huntsman Center. The Utes are an improved team this season and they did take Arizona to the wire last week, but all that has done is keep this line much lower than it should be. UCLA is 6-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 PAC-12 games.

4 Unit Play. #550 Take Idaho -2.5 over Denver (10 pm) We lost twice with the Vandals last week so if you cannot beat them, join them! Denver is always a different on the road than they are at home and that will again surface tonight at Cowan Spectrum. The Pioneers are just 1-5 in road games this season. Idaho is 5-0 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 games overall. Denver is 15-36 ATS in their last 51 road games.

4 Unit Play. #554 Take Loyola Marymount +6 over Santa Clara (10 pm local) The Broncos have had a remarkable turnaround this season after going 0-16 last season. That being said, they are not good enough to be laying this many points on the road games middle of the pack teams in the WCC. These teams are a combined 1-3 in WCC play and the Lions won both meetings last season with the Broncos. Santa Clara is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a losing record. LMU is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games against teams that have a winning road record.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For College Basketball

2-1 Yesterday and 3 of 4 winning days, let's keep building on that today. We have also strung together 6 of 9 Winning Days with a 19-14 Run and 15-11 Run. More work to do.

3-Unit Play. #521. Take Florida Atlantic +16.5 over Middle Tennessee State (Thursday @ 8pm est).

3-Unit Play. #528 Take Arkansas Little Rock -3.5 over North Texas (Thursday @ 8pm est).

3-Unit Play. #536. Take Vanderbilt +12.5 over Kentucky (Thursday @ 9pm est).

I'm a fan of Mike Jarvis' teams and have for some time. Two years ago he had a 21 win team and last year he had a 11 win team and now is building those young guys to the level of talent he had two years ago. This year this team already has 8 wins on the year and are .500 on the year. They are 3-2 in conference play and one of the tougher teams Middle Tennessee State will face this year. Coming off back to back wins against Hofstra and Louisiana Lafayette this team is building confidence heading into Middle Tennessee State. This team does need to improve on its turnover percentage but they will be much more excited about this game than Middle Tennessee State will. State has beat this team by 13 points the last two years and has not bet this team by the margin they are facing them today over the last 10 times they have played each other since 2008. These two coaches are familiar with each other and so are the programs and even with that team from last year which was really inexperienced for Florida Atlantic they lost by 13 both times. This year's team is a bit better and if these two freshman of Moody and Baker can get settled in, I like Florida Atlantic to hang tough today. At the end of the day, this is a conference game in the Sun Belt and I'll take the points here. Arkansas Little Rock is a 9 win team from the Sun Belt facing North Texas at home. This team beat North Texas the first time they played them last year on the road by 3 points only to have North Texas beat them and return the favor in overtime the second time they played them last season. Arkansas Little Rock comes off a tough loss to Troy on the road by 3 points and that's a tough loss to swallow considering they are a team outside the top 300. But this team has shown the prowess to beat some very good teams at home including Western Kentucky a top 175 team at home by 8 points and lost to a dynamic Louisiana Tech team who is a top 100 team at home by 2 points. This team has also defeated Tulsa who is a top 200 team at home and don't hold the Troy game against them too much because it was a revenge game for Troy from an earlier loss to the Rock this year. North Texas's last 3 wins were against teams outside the top 300 and all were at home. This is a tough feat for North Texas I think considering they have to face a top 200 team essentially on the road today. I watched the Vanderbilt vs. Davidson game in Kissimmee, Florida and it was a 5* Gotw for us and we rode Davidson in that game for the win. Vanderbilt has been improving steadily since that game however. Sure, they got crushed by Butler at home but this is a very young team. After coming off back to back losses to Middle Tennessee State and Butler, they bounced back against William and Mary at home. One of the most attractive things about taking an underdog and an underdog at home with a low scoring total is that when you get 12.5 points on a projected total which is smaller, it is significant. This team loves to play drag out type games such as beating Xavier on the road in a 66-64 game which was an overtime victory at that. Kentucky comes off crushing Eastern Michigan at home but I do think they have a let down here on the road. Kentucky has struggled away from home such as losing to Louisville (can't blame them though because Louisville had years of pent up revenge) and losing to Notre Dame by 14. Look for Vanderbilt to get up for this game as this is a huge game for them and look for Kentucky to finally get that first pure road win on the road in conference play at that, but I don't think it will be going away. Look for a drag out contest that will see Kentucky likely win by single digits.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NBA Basketball

Passing on the Card Today. We are not at the All-Star break yet. Still lots of time for us to put together a solid run. We had a great December (+$3300) highest of my career in the NBA and we will build off that. Looking forward to the larger card on Friday.

My leans are on Portland to upset Miami possibly at home but Miami comes off a bad loss against Indiana so that is tough sledding there, I liked Sacramento at home after the city announced they will be moving their team essentially (this might be the video comp today) but the Mavs are desperate for a win and did play the Clippers close last night and although I would have leaned on Indiana with Melo', with Melo being suspended for this game teams have a way of coming together and covering so the Knicks might actually end up covering today so just laid off.
