NCAA-B | Eastern Michigan vs Kent State
Play on: Eastern Michigan +8 -105 at sportsbook
10* FREE NCAAB PICK (Eastern Michigan +8)
I'll take my chances here with the Eagles as a 8-point dog against the Golden Flashes in Monday's first round action in the MAC Tournament. Kent State finished with the better record in conference play at 9-9, compared to Eastern Michigan's 6-12 mark, but I see this as a much more even matchup.
Eagles started out MAC play at 0-7, but would go on to win 5 of their next 6 before losing 4 of their last 5. The poor 1-4 finish is a bit of a concern, but 3 of the 4 losses did come on the road and the lone home loss was by just 2 to Northern Illinois, who tied for the top spot in the West Division.
Kent State was sitting at 6-3 in league play before closing out the year 3-6. Injuries played a big part of the struggles for the Golden Flashes down the stretch. They are far from 100% going into this one. Also, one of those 6 losses down the stretch for Kent State was a 49-70 loss at Eastern Michigan.
Eagles are 6-2 ATS last 8 vs a team with a winning record and the Flashes are just 3-9 ATS last 12 as a favorite. Take Eastern Michigan!Comment

NBA | Hornets vs Hawks
Play on: Hornets +4½ -110 at Mirage
Jack’s Free Pick Monday: Charlotte Hornets +4.5
The Charlotte Hornets have gone 6-5 SU & 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. They have upset wins over the Rockets at home as well as the Raptors, Pistons, Timberwolves and Bulls on the road during this stretch. All six wins have come outright as underdogs.
Even the Hornets’ losses during this stretch have been impressive. They only lost by 8 to Milwaukee as 13.5-point dogs, by 1 to the San Antonio as 4-point dogs and by 2 to the Nuggets as 10-point dogs. This team is playing a lot better than they are getting credit for from oddsmakers.
Conversely, the Atlanta Hawks are going through one of their worst stretches of the season. The Hawks are 0-3 SU & 0-3 ATS in their last three games overall with losses to Memphis (twice) and Washington, falling by an average of 20.7 points per game. They have several key players either questionable or out due to injury, which has contributed to their poor play.
The Hornets are 6-0 ATS in their last six games as underdogs. Charlotte is 22-5 ATS in its last 27 games vs. a team with a winning percentage below 40%. The Hornets are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. The Hawks are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning percentage below 40%. Bet the Hornets Monday.Comment

Play on: OVER 222½ -104
Here, he looks to improve on that record with a play on tonight's Atlanta/Charlotte total:
For two teams essentially "playing out the string," with little reason for much defensive intensity, I believe that this number looks a little low. The most recent meeting between these teams saw 229 total points scored. The most recent meeting here at Atlanta produced 249 points. That one already had 141 points by halftime! This season, the 'over' is 6-3 when the Hornets played a road game with an O/U line of 220 or more. Meanwhile, the 'over' is 18-12 when the Hawks have played a home game with an O/U line of 220 or more. The Hawks have now allowed 117 or more points in seven straight games. However, they've also scored 120 or more in three of their last four here at home. Consider the Over.Comment

NHL | Coyotes vs Jets
Play on: Jets -121 at pinnacle
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL Rotation #38 Monday Free Pick Winnipeg Jets Money Line (-) vs Arizona Coyotes @ 8 ET - The Coyotes like to play tight defensive-minded hockey but it is tough to consistently win when you don't score many goals. This is particularly true when you're facing a surging Winnipeg team and you're facing them without your leading goal-scorer. Arizona just lost Connor Garland to injury. Also, the Jets Connor Hellebuyck has been fantastic between the pipes with just 1 goal allowed in his last 3 home starts. The Coyotes are expected to counter with Darcy Kuemper. He has allowed an average of 4 goals per start in his last 3 starts against Western Conference opponents. Arizona has lost 5 of its last 6 road games. Though I love playing dogs, I feel strongly that home ice and momentum and the Garland injury situation is not being given enough weight here. Great value with small home favorite.

NCAA-B | Elon vs Northeastern
Play on: Northeastern -7½ -110 at YouWager
1* Free Pick on Northeastern -7½ -110
Elon's run in the CAA Touranment comes to end on Monday against Northeastern. Elon has squeaked by with a 2-point win over James Madison (Sat.) and a 5-point win over William & Mary (Sun.). I just don't see the Phoenix having enough gas in the tank playing their 3rd game in 3 days.
The Huskies got their tournament run started yesterday with a convincing 72-62 win as a mere 3.5-point favorite against Towson. That win and cover continued quite the run for Northeastern in the CAA Tournament. Huskies are now 6-1 SU and 5-1-1 ATS over the last 3 seasons.
Elon did win the most recent meeting at home, but did so by just 5 and that was with the Phoenix shooting 61% from the field (53% from deep) and Northeastern connecting on a mere 38.6% of their attempts.
No way they shoot that good, especially with tired legs. If anything, it's the Huskies offense that should roll. Elon gives up a ton of 3-pointers and is awful at defending the pick and roll. Northeastern excels in both of those areas.
Phoenix are also just 7-20 ATS last 27 neutral site games, 6-21 ATS last 27 off a SU win and 3-11 ATS last 14 as a neutral site dog. Huskies are 8-1-1 ATS last 10 as a neutral site favorite. Take Northeastern!Comment

NCAA-B | San Francisco vs Gonzaga
Play on: San Francisco +13 -110 at Mirage
Dave’s Monday Free Play:
1* on San Francisco +13
The Key: San Francisco has played Gonzaga tough twice this season. They only lost 79-83 as 10-point home underdogs and held a 31-22 lead on the road at halftime in the rematch at Gonzaga before falling apart in the second half. The Dons have definitely stepped up their game in the WCC Tournament thus far. They crushed Loyola-Marymount 82-53 after only beating them by 2 points in the regular season finale. And they made easy work of Pacific 72-54 after getting upset at home by Pacific earlier this season in their previous match. I like the fact that they are comfortable with these rims and had yesterday off while Gonzaga will be playing its first game of the tournament. The Dons should be the sharper team especially in the first half. The Dons are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. The Bulldogs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games. Take San Francisco.Comment
