AUBURN -3.5
AUBURN @ GEORGIA | 2/19 | 7:00 PM EST
This line could keep rising. Georgia is shooting 29 percent from deep over its last five games, and Tom Crean can't get his team to stop turning the ball over. Although the Tigers have struggled on the road, I like backing a much better Auburn team coming off a loss. Lay it.
S. DAK. ST. -3.5
S. DAK. ST. @ NORTH DAKOTA | 2/19 | 8:00 PM EST
1:29 PM
South Dakota State has won the last eight meetings with North Dakota and the Jackrabbits should get the cover tonight. SDSU came out a bit sluggish in its last game at home against Ft. Wayne being down 36-26 at the half but closed the game out on a 49-28 run. The Jackrabbits' goal here is starting strong and winning the game to stay in first place in the Summit. Plus, SDSU is shooting 51 percent from the field in its last five games. SDSU is the play.

WASHINGTON ST. -5.5
CALIFORNIA @ WASHINGTON ST. | 2/19 | 10:00 PM EST
1:27 PM
Cal has lost seven of its last nine, including its last four, but the Golden Bears' rating has dropped so far that they’re getting covers going 5-2 ATS in their last seven. Washington State has lost five of its last seven but four of those losses were on the road. The Cougars beat ASU and Washington at home. Cal is 0-10 away from Berkeley covering the spread only once. WSU has won 11 of 14 at home. I’m on Washington State.

RUTGERS -2.5
MICHIGAN @ RUTGERS | 2/19 | 7:00 PM EST
1:05 PM
Michigan has looked revived, winning and covering five of its last six games - including each of the last three. Two of those were on the road against the Big Ten’s worst home edge at Northwestern and Nebraska. Michigan has beaten Rutgers all seven times since they moved into the conference, but the Scarlet Knights' home-court advantage breaks the streak tonight. They’re 17-0 straight-up and 11-4-1 ATS at home. I’m on Rutgers.

4-Unit Play. Take #784 Rutgers -2.5 over Michigan* (6:30 PM, Wednesday, February 19)
Rutgers has posted a 7-2-1 ATS record in their laCBst ten games following a straight up win and they have that same 7-2-1 ATS record in their last ten games at home where they were listed as a favorite. They have also covered the number in five of their last seven games at home where they faced a team with a losing record on the road and they are an impressive 10-2-1 ATS in their last thirteen home games overall. Michigan, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 1-5 ATS in their last six games where they were listed as an underdog and they have failed to cover the number in each of their last six where they were listed as an underdog on the road. Throw in the fact that Michigan is also an awful 3-7 ATS in their last ten versus a team with a winning % of .600 or higher while the Scarlet Knights are 12-4-1 ATS in their last seventeen overall and we're going to lay the bucket or so here with Rutgers to get the home win and cover on Wednesday night.
4 Unit Play. Take #816 Arkansas St -7.5 over Louisiana-Monroe (8:00 PM, Wednesday, February 19)
The Red Wolves have posted a 6-2 ATS record in their last eight at home where they were listed as the favorite and they have gone an excellent 12-5 ATS in their last seventeen overall at home. They have also covered the number in nine of their last ten at home versus a team with a road winning % of .400 or lower and they are 9-2 ATS in their last eleven following a straight up loss. Monroe, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone 2-5 ATS in their last seven following a straight up loss and they have failed to cover the number in seven of their last nine on the road where they were listed as an underdog. Throw in the fact that Arkansas St is 17-7 ATS in their last 24 games overall and we're going to lay the points with them here to get the home win and cover on Wednesday night.
4 Unit Play. Take #837 Villanova -4.5 over DePaul (9:00 PM, Wednesday, February 19)
The Wildcats have posted a perfect 4-0-1 ATS record in their last five road games and they have that same 4-0-1 ATS record in their last five on the road where they faced a team with a winning record at home. DePaul, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS loss and they are also just 2-5 ATS in their last seven where they faced a team with a winning % of .500 or higher. Throw in the fact that the Blue Demons are also 1-5 ATS in their last six at home while Nova is 4-1 ATS off a straight up win and we're laying the points here with the Wildcats to get the road win and cover in Chicago on Wednesday night.
4 Unit Play. Take #843/844 Duke vs NC State Over 152 (9:00 PM, Wednesday, February 19)
Duke has posted a 5-1 record to the over in their last six games where they faced a team with a winning % of .600 or higher and they have gone an excellent 8-2 to the over in their last ten games where they were listed as a favorite. The Wolfpack have been an over team as well in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone up and over the number in 23 of their last 28 where they faced a team with a winning % of .500 or higher. Throw in the fact that the Blue Devils are also an impressive 6-2 to the over off a straight up win and that they are a lights out 21-5-1 to the over versus a team with a winning record and that's where we'll have our play as we think this one turns into a shootout in Raleigh on Wednesday night.
4 Unit Play. Take #846 Minnesota -5.5 over Indiana (9:00 PM, Wednesday, February 19)
The Gophers have posted a 10-3 ATS record in their last thirteen home games where they were listed as the favorite and they have that same 10-3 ATS record at home in their last thirteen where they were listed as the favorite. They have also covered the number in six of their last eight at home where they faced a team with a losing record on the road and they are an impressive 10-4 ATS in their last fourteen games following a straight up loss. The Hoosiers, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games and they have failed to cover the number in nine of their last eleven games following a straight up loss by 20 points or more. Throw in the fact that Indiana is also an awful 0-5 ATS on the road as an underdog while Minnesota is 11-5 ATS in their last sixteen at home and we're laying the points here with the Gophers to get the home win and cover on Wednesday night.
4 Unit Play. Take #855/856 Boise St vs San Jose St Over 154.5 (10:00 PM, Wednesday, February 19)
Boise has posted a perfect 4-0 record to the over in their last four games where they faced a team with a losing record and they have that same 4-0 record to the over in their last four games following a double-digit loss at home. They have also gone up and over the number in five of their last seven following an ATS loss and they are 4-1 to the over in their last five played on a Wednesday night for whatever reason. The Spartans have been an over team as well in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone a perfect 5-0 to the over in their last five games following a straight up loss and they are also 5-0 to the over at home where they faced a team with a road winning % of .400 or lower. Throw in the fact that SJSU is also 4-1 to the over in their last five at home where they were listed as the dog while Boise is 5-2 to the over on the road where they were listed as the favorite and that's where we'll have our play as we think both teams are going to struggle a bit on the defensive end in San Jose on Wednesday evening.
4 Unit Play. Take #858 Washington St -5.5 over California (10:00 PM, Wednesday, February 19)
Cal has gone just 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games where they were listed as an underdog and they have that same 1-7 ATS record in their last eight road games overall. They have also failed to cover the number in six of their last seven on the road versus a team with a winning record at home and they are an awful 13-36-2 ATS in their last 51 games played on a Wednesday night for whatever reason. The Cougars, on the other hand, have been pretty good in the spot they are in here tonight as they have covered the number in five of their last six home games. Throw in the fact that both the home team and the favorite are 4-1 ATS in the last five head to head meetings between the two schools and we're going to lay the points here with the Cougars to get the home win and cover in Pullman on Wednesday evening.
4-Unit Play. #800. Take Over 149.5 Auburn vs. Georgia (Wednesday @ 7pm est)
I'm aware the total keeps dropping here but we will take the Over here in a small public fade. Couple of things work in our favor here for the Over, including the only reason why Auburn lost to Missouri in the first place in the last game is they went 1/17 from 3 point land and still managed to score 70+ points against a good defensive team. Bruce Pearl even mentioned they were not good on offense and Missouri was certainly good on defense and that will be different here against a Georgia team that gaveup a ton of points to Texas A&M at 70+ which is a bit high for A&M. This is a Auburn team that beat UGA 82-60 as well last time so they certainly have had success in the past and Georgia has dropped 60 on this team in the past and they come off a tough loss, their star only scored 7 points in his last game going 2/7 from the field batting the flu and I think Georgia will play well, be a good active dog as this game likely goes over here. Note, 2nd Half of the NBA Starts Tomorrow, we went +6500 in the First Half and we are expecting huge things in the 2nd Half of the NBA.
4-Unit Play #842 Virginia Tech -3.5 over Miami (Wednesday,* February 19 at 09:00 PM ET)
Take Virginia Tech ATS as my top college basketball pick for Wednesday night. Virginia Tech is hands-down the superior team here Wednesday night where they have averaged 74.1 points per game this season while holding opponents to just 60.2 points per game. Virginia Tech has held opponents to shooting just 37.9% against them at home this season and just 28.4% against them from beyond the arc. Miami's opponents of averaged 78.5 points per game against them on the road this season while shooting 48.1% as a team including 38.2% from beyond the arc against them on the road. I expect a blow out here by Virginia Tech so play them ATS.
6-Unit Play. Take #847 Over 128 Wyoming at Utah* St (9:00p.m., Wednesday February 19)
Tonight at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum the Utah St Aggies welcome a struggling Wyoming Cowboys squad and I see the Aggies winning big. The Cowboys defense is the main reason why we believe this total flies 'Over' tonight and the last (2) games the Cowboys have played they gave up 77 points to Colorado St and 97 points to New Mexico. Wyoming last 4 conference road games they are giving up an average of 76ppg anGBd tonight the Aggies will put up a big number at home. Wyoming is 5-0 O/U as a road underdog and the last 11 games Wyoming is 8-3 O/U/
6-Unit Play. Take #837 Villanova (-4.5) over DePaul (9 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 19)
I think that this game will be a blowout. DePaul has lost seven straight games and they are 1-11 in Big East play this season. The Blue Demons are coming off their worst game of the season in a 29-point blowout loss at Creighton. DePaul is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven games overall and they have lost 19 straight times to the Wildcats! Villanova has gone 5-0 ATS in its last five road games and the road team is 10-2 ATS in this series. DePaul is just 1-5 ATS in its last six home games and I like Villanova to get the job done here. Lay the points.
3-Unit Play. Take #799 Auburn* (-3.5) over Georgia (7 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 19)
Georgia is just 2-10 in SEC play and they are one of the worst teams in the conference. Auburn is in a battle for the No. 2 spot in the SEC and they need to win this game. Auburn had a seven-game winning streak snapped its last time out and now they are set to start a new winning streak. Georgia has lost four straight and eight of their last nine. Auburn is 5-1 ATS in the last six games against Georgia and 8-2 ATS in the last 10. Take Auburn.

8-Unit Play. Take #76 Vancouver (-125) over Minnesota (10 p.m., Wednesday, Feb.* 19)
I'm not entirely sure what is going on with Minnesota's schedule this year, but it has been bizarre to say the least. They started the year with 13 of their first 18 games on the road. It didn't go well. They started the year 2-9 on the road and had a ton of travel early in the season. However, it has evened out over the last two months. Dating back before Christmas - Dec. 20 to be exact - Minnesota has played 18 of 22 games at home. Over the last month alone (since Jan. 15) they have left home just one time! That's insane. Yet, despite that massive advantage the Wild are just 7-5 in their last 12 games and they come into this one having lost three of four. One of those seven wins? It was a 4-2 decision over Vancouver on Feb. 6. The Canucks have been one of the big surprises in the NHL. They have been cold over the last couple of weeks, but they are an outstanding 11-2 in their last 13 home games. Vancouver is 19-7 at home this year against a Minnesota team that is just 10-15 away from home. The Canucks are coming off a home loss, a 5-1 debacle against Anaheim last weekend. I just don't see this team losing two in a row at home, something they haven't done since mid-November. Beyond that, Vancouver just made a trade for coveted wing Tyler Toffoli. He has been hot and he should give this offense a boost. Beyond that though, Vancouver making a move to add Toffoli - an unrestricted free agent - should have a positive effect on the locker room. This move is a sign from the front office that they believe this team has a shot to win the West (they are currently No. 3). I think they will get a short-term jolt from this newfound confidence. This is a young Vancouver team. They are volatile. But I think that playing at home after making a big trade, facing a team that just beat thegm two weeks ago, puts them in a situation where I expect a strong effort. Let's roll with Vancouver.
Carpe diem. Good luck.
