Paul Leiner:
Lost a tough one last night as New England could not punch it in from inside the 1 yard line late in the game. We get back on track tonight with a College total. Thanks and goodluck.

**DETROIT (-6 ½) over Denver
Rotation #504 – 4:05 pm Pacific
Detroit has lost 6 consecutive games but the first four of those were all road games, with 3 losses by an average of just 4 points, and the Pistons’ two recent home losses were against the two best teams in the league, Golden State and Boston. Detroit will certainly be motivated and I still rate Denver as an overrated team without Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap. In fact, using all games for both teams would project Detroit by 7 points so there has actually been no adjustment at all for Denver’s injured starters. That’s perhaps because of the Pistons’ recent losing streak, which I don’t think is a sign that they’re not just as good. I think Detroit should be favored by 10 points based on my player-specific ratings and I’ll take the Pistons in a 2-Star Best Bet at -7 or less and for 1-Star up to -8.

7-Unit Play. #523 Take Georgia Southern (-1.5) over George Mason (7 p.m., Tuesday, December 12)
The line change tells the story here. Georgia Southern opened as a small dog and rightly swung into a road favorite. Simply put, the Eagles are a loaded mid-major this season. Five starters are back, two of which were the top two scorers in the Sun Belt a season ago. This team is scoring more than 84 points per game, compared to nearly 15 less from the Patriots. This GMU team is missing its best two players from 2016-17, and clearly its a step backward because of their collective absence. Nearly 30 points and 16 rebounds per game need to be made up from the departed Marquise Moore and Jalen Jenkins, and for at least tonight they won't do that against a superior opponent. George Mason is 5-5 and three losses came by double digits. This game tonight will result in a fourth. Georgia Southern ranks first in the country in offensive rebounds, and with GMU's best two rebounders gone from the program, this is going to be a huge edge for the Eagles. This match-up offers the best value for Tuesday' schedule. That's because relative to the short line, there is an even bigger margin of talent and overiding contrast between these two programs. Georgia Southern starts a six-game road trip tonight. Coming off back-to-back blowout home wins, this is another high value assessment to get on the Eagles here before any road trip effects kick in. Fresh and focused, Georgia Southern runs past George Mason, win by 15.
5-Unit Play. #532 Take Iona (-3) over Yale (7 p.m., Tuesday, December 12)
Yale continues to miss senior leader Mason Makai, and going into a difficult venue to get a win, Iona is the play here. The Gaels have played just one home game in the first month of the year, so they are going to be very motivated to be getting back on their own campus again. Yale has already played eight road games, but they've been beat up for the most part with five losses. Of those five losses, the Bulldogs have lost by an average of 17 points, and all by at least eight points. The Gaels come into this one winners of three straight, so momentum is with them as they get back to their home digs. Lay the number with them to take care of business and get back over .500 for the year.
5-Unit Play. #537 Take Murray State (-1.5) over Saint Louis (8 p.m., Tuesday, December 12)
Unlike the above play with Georgia Southern, oddsmakers got this favorite correct. But similar to that play, its should be a bigger number in their favor. Murray State has started the year at 6-1 and made quick work to forget last season's medicore 16-17 campaign. Saint Louis will be better with Travis Ford at the helm, but this team is still very much a work in progress. The Billikens got four transfers, but two are still not able to play. Saint Louis has shown its still in transition mode, losers of five of their last six games. Four of these losses were blowouts and three came at home. Murray State is the more seasoned product and known commodity today, and for that money is on them to score the road victory and continue their fast start in non-conference play.

7-Unit Play. #522. Take Cincinnati -11.5 over Mississippi State (Tuesday @ 7pm est)
We roll with Cincinnati here in what should be a great opportunity for them to to step up and pick up an important win. Remember, you have a Cincinnati team here that comes off back to back losses and desperately needs to pick up a big win. Cincinnati will be highly motivated given that they face a good SEC team here with a solid record and they can make their mark here. This team can ill afford to keep losing non-conference games if they want to make it back to the Big Dance. Look for Cincinnati to step up here at home, at 7-2, behind a very motivational coach in Mick Cronin, as this team knows how to win as they have won 30, 27, 22 and 23 games the last few years, to step up with the 5th best defense in the country and a top 40 offense to lay the wood down today. Remember, Mississippi State has not faced anyone this good yet all year are outside the top 280 when it comes to turnover margin and outside the top 300 when it comes to 3 point shooting and that will all play a big role today.
4-Unit Play. #514. Take Sacramento Kings -4 over Phoenix Suns (Tuesday @ 10:05pm est)
The Suns still don't have Booker and that has caused their last 3 games to be difficult for them. This is a team that has covered 5 of their last 6 including nearly beating the Spurs their last game but they face a Kings team that will be angry coming in. Remember, the Kings D'Aaron Fox only scored 6 points in his last game and 7 turnovers, part of more than 20 turnovers their last game in a very poor effort against a strong defensive team in Toronto who was on a very good winning streak coming in (their season high now at 8 games). We like Sacramento to come off of that loss where they scored just 87 points, play much better offensively and come together as a team, and they have revenge from losing to Phoenix by a bucket earlier this year as well which sets up well for this team at home. Let's roll with the Kings here on the bounce-back and with revenge.
