USC +9
USC @ OREGON | 1/23 | 11:00 PM EST
12:09 PM
This is a generous portion of points for a talented, if inconsistent, team as USC’s last outing was the ultimate tale of two halves. After all, Arizona was spotty just three points on its visit to Eugene. The Trojans are 5-1 in their last five away from home. The Ducks missed out on covers, however slightly, in their pair of Pac-12 home contests. If playing its best, USC can take Oregon down to the wire.
11-4 IN LAST 15 CBB PICKS | +654
6-2 IN LAST 8 USC ATS PICKS | +385
5-3-2 IN LAST 10 OREG ATS PICKS | +166
VALPARAISO +4.5
VALPARAISO @ MISSOURI ST. | 1/23 | 8:30 PM EST
12:02 PM
Valparaiso has the good fortune of taking on an opponent that's missing two contributors. F Tulio Da Silva (10.7 points, 7.3 rebounds) is absent for personal reasons while G Tyrik Dixon (7.2 points) is out with a shoulder injury. The Crusaders have dropped only one of their last eight outings ATS, whereas the Bears are 3-11 ATS at home harkening to last season. Valpo’s senior-laden team makes it road-ready against a young foe.
11-4 IN LAST 15 CBB PICKS | +654

SAN FRAN. +9.5
SAN FRAN. @ SAINT MARY'S | 1/23 | 10:30 PM EST
10:57 AM
This matchup recently has been very tight. Over the last four games, the difference between the team has been six points. This matchup features very disciplined teams, but San Francisco doesn’t deserve to be such a big underdog. Look for the Dons to keep this one tight.
10-6-1 IN LAST 17 CBB PICKS | +333
2-1 IN LAST 3 SANFRAN ATS PICKS | +86
MIDDLE TENN. +10.5
LOUISIANA TECH @ MIDDLE TENN. | 1/23 | 7:30 PM EST
10:50 AM
Middle Tennessee is one of the worst teams against the spread this season, but the Blue Raiders have a good amount of value heading into this matchup. Since they have lost 10 straight, the majority of bettors are siding with Louisiana Tech. But I look for the Blue Raiders to keep this one tight at home Thursday night.
10-6-1 IN LAST 17 CBB PICKS | +333
MICHIGAN ST. -4
MICHIGAN ST. @ INDIANA | 1/23 | 8:30 PM EST
10:44 AM
The Spartans simply are better than Indiana on both ends of the court. Offensively they score 78.3 points a game to the Hoosiers' 75.1. Defensively Michigan State is 11th in the country in field goal percentage (37.4). I forecast Indiana having a tough time scoring against the Spartans. Lay the points.
10-6-1 IN LAST 17 CBB PICKS | +333
CLEVELAND -1.5
WASHINGTON @ CLEVELAND | 1/23 | 7:00 PM EST
10:30 AM
We have to fade the Wizards on a road back-to-back after an overtime loss in Miami. Flying to Cleveland will take a toll on this team. Look for the Cavaliers, who have fresh legs, to dominate both ends of the court early. Look for Cleveland to snap its five-game losing streak.
28-14-1 IN LAST 43 NBA PICKS | +1272
5-1 IN LAST 6 WAS ATS PICKS | +391
3-0 IN LAST 3 CLE ATS PICKS | +300

DALLAS -1.5
DALLAS @ PORTLAND | 1/23 | 10:30 PM EST
Kristaps Porzingis was rusty and took ill-advised shots in his first game back, a 110-107 loss to the Clippers on Tuesday. Look for a stronger performance Thursday night. Dallas is 10-2-1 ATS in its last 13 as a road favorite.

COLORADO -13.5
WASHINGTON ST. @ COLORADO | 1/23 | 10:00 PM EST
2:40 PM
Washington State notched wins against Oregon schools last week, including one over Oregon State on Saturday after retiring Klay Thompson’s jersey. But they’re on the road here against a team with one of the biggest home edges in the Pac-12. The Cougars are just 7-22-1 ATS in their last 30 road games. Colorado’s average home score is 76-60, and it posted a 92-60 triumph over visiting Washington State last season. Colorado regroups from Saturday's loss at Arizona and gets the cover.
3-0 IN LAST 3 CBB ATS PICKS | +300
4-1 IN LAST 5 COLO ATS PICKS | +288
MINNESOTA +7.5
MINNESOTA @ OHIO ST. | 1/23 | 6:30 PM EST
2:36 PM
The Buckeyes have gone 9-1 at home (7-3 ATS) and have revenge on their minds from an 84-71 loss at Minnesota Dec. 15, their first loss of the season. But they’re just 1-5 in their last six overall and failed to cover any of the six. Minnesota has yet to win on the road and home teams have been dominating Big Ten play, but the Buckeyes' funk is why I’m on Minnesota.
3-0 IN LAST 3 CBB ATS PICKS | +300
4-3 IN LAST 7 OHIOST ATS PICKS | +74

I know this Washington Huskies team very well. We have cashed betting on them, and cashed betting against them. Tonight is the perfect spot to hop back on the Husky train. After last game's CRUSHING defeat to Oregon I know the Huskies will be eager to take the court and get that conference win. Washington could easily be 4-0 in pac-12 play. All of their losses have been extremely close. Utah has been so bad as of late, losing 4 straight games and not playing a lick of defense. That is what concerns me with Utah, they are getting DRUBBED by playing absolutely no defense and I cannot back a team that is allowing 80-90 points in recent memory and ranks damn near 300th on defense. Washingtons defense will Always show up. They rank 39th in the country but in my opinion they are a top 15 defense. They have defenders that can individually clamp down on you, something Utah doesnt have. Utah has lost 5 of their last 6 by an average of 21 points!! While Washington's worst conference loss was a 6 point loss to Stanford on the road. Utah is a must fade. They are sliding hard. Utah relies on outscoring teams to win, that doesn't work vs ELITE defensive teams. Washington is holding teams to 37% from the field, which is good for 7th in the country. I am not worried about their offense, I know they can keep up with Utah, the Huskies still have 4 players averaging double figures! Like i said, the Utes are a must fade and this is an excellent bounce back spot for Washington. Huskies all day.

Line Source: Coasts
Posted on: January 23, 2020 @ 11:35:09 AM EST
Colonial Athletic Association action here today has James Madison taking on William & Mary. James Madison Dukes are 8-10 S/U and 6-10 ATS on the season. The Dukes are 1-6 S/U and 1-5-1 ATS in conference play. William & Mary Tribe are having an excellent season with a 14-6 S/U and 13-6 ATS mark on the year. They are also 6-1 S/U and 5-2 ATS in conference play. The Tribe did lose their first conference game last time out at Drexel, 57-84 as a 3-point road dog. I look for the Tribe to bounce back here at home after that blowout loss. I believe they will take it out here on James Madison tonight. Take the Tribe in a blowout.
