(2) Villanova (20-2, 15-6 ATS) at (6) West Virginia (19-3, 9-12 ATS)
The Mountaineers look to extend their winning streak to seven when they host Villanova inside WVU Coliseum in Morgantown, W.V., in a nationally televised Big East showdown between two Top-10 teams.
The Wildcats had their 11-game winning streak (9-2 ATS) snapped on Saturday when they went to Georgetown and got blown out 103-90, failing to cash as two-point ‘dogs. Villanova is 10-2 away from home this season (8-4 ATS), but they give up a whopping 80.3 points per game on the road and allow the opposition to shoot 43.1 percent from the floor.
West Virginia is 3-3 ATS during its six-game winning streak, but the Mountaineers have won and covered in each of the last two, including Satruday’s 79-60 come-from-behind win at St. John’s, cashing as a 7½-point favorite. The Mountaineers got 33 points, six rebounds and four assists from star Da’Sean Butler as they rallied from an 11-point halftime deficit and outscored St. John’s 57-27 in the second half.
Last season, West Virginia destroyed Villanova 93-72 as a 4½-point home favorite, and the Mountaineers have won and covered in four of the last five meetings and four of the last five played in Morgantown dating back to 2004. In this series, the home team has a 6-2 ATS edge in the last eight clashes.
Villanova is on ATS surges of 9-3 overall, 8-3 in Big East action, 5-1 on the road, 5-0 on Monday and 10-4 against teams with a winning record. Meanwhile, despite back-to-back spread-covers in its last two contests, West Virginia is in ATS funks of 1-4 after a spread-cover and 1-6 at home against a team with a winning road record.
It’s been nothing but “overs” for the Wildcats lately, including 13-3 overall, 7-2 in Big East games, 4-0 on the road, 6-1 after a straight-up loss and 7-3 against teams with winning records. Conversely, the Mountaineers are on “under” streaks that include 5-2 in conference contests, 4-1 on Monday, 6-1 after a spread-cover and 20-8 at home against a teams with a winning road record.
Finally, the over has cashed in seven of the last 10 meetings in this rivalry.
ATS ADVANTAGE: WEST VIRGINIA and OVER
(1) Kansas (22-1, 9-10-1 ATS) at (9) Texas (19-4, 8-11 ATS)
The Jayhawks make the trek to the Erwin Center in Austin in search of a ninth-straight win as they face struggling Texas in a pivotal Big 12 matchup.
Kansas has rattled off eight straight wins (3-4-1 ATS), but it got a battle Saturday against Nebraska, prevailing just 75-64 and coming nowhere near cashing as a 21-point home favorite. The Jayhawks have won all four Big 12 road games, but they are just 1-2-1 ATS in those and 3-5-1 ATS on the highway overall.
Texas is just 2-4 SU since being jumping to the top spot in the national rankings for the first time in school history on Jan. 18, and it has failed at the betting window in nine of its last 10 overall. On Saturday, the Longhorns went to Oklahoma as 6½-point road favorites and lost outright 80-71. They have been unable to stop anybody lately, allowing the opposition to score 78.2 ppg and shoot 45.8 percent from the floor over the last five outings.
The Jayhawks have won five of the last six clashes with Texas (3-3 ATS), including an 83-73 home win last season, cashing as eight-point favorites. In the last meeting in Austin in 2008, Texas prevailed 72-69 as a 5½-point home underdog.
Kansas is just 2-6-1 ATS in its last nine road outings and 1-3-1 ATS in its last five after a non-cover, but it is on ATS runs of 16-5 on Mondays and 17-7-2 in Big 12 games. Texas has cashed in 23 of 32 Monday contests, but in addition to failing to cash in nine of their last 10 overall, the Longhorns are on ATS slides of 6-21-1 in conference play, 0-4 at home, 1-7 after a non-cover and 1-8 against teams with a winning record.
The Jayhawks have topped the total in five of six against winning teams, but stayed below the posted number in four of five on Mondays and 25 of 34 after a straight-up win. The Longhorns have stayed below the total in 13 of 17 on Monday contests, but they’ve gone “over” in four of five overall and five of seven at home. Also, the over has been the play in five of six Kansas-Texas battles overall.
ATS ADVANTAGE: KANSAS
NBA
San Antonio (29-20, 24-24-1 ATS) at L.A. Lakers (39-13, 23-27-2 ATS)
The Spurs continue their season-long eight-game road trip with a key matchup against the Lakers inside the Staples Center.
San Antonio is 2-1 on the trip so far (1-2 ATS) after beating the Clippers inside Staples Center on Saturday, winning 98-81 as a 3½-point favorite. George Hill, a second-year pro, led the way with 22 points and Tony Parker added 14 points and 14 assists. The Spurs have won four of six overall (3-3 ATS), but they are just a mediocre 10-10 SU (9-11 ATS) on the highway this season.
The Kobe Bryant-less Lakers went to Portland on Saturday and blew out the Blazers 99-82 as 3½-point favorites. Bryant missed Saturday’s contest with an ankle injury and is listed as questionable for tonight’s contest. Ron Artest picked up the slack with a 21-point performance and Lamar Odom had 10 points, six assists and 22 rebounds. The Lakers had an eight-game home winning streak in Friday’s 126-113 loss to the Nuggets and are now 24-4 SU at Staples Center this season, but just 13-14-1 ATS.
In their lone meeting this season, San Antonio scored a 105-85 rout of the Lakers back on Jan. 12, easily cashing as a 3½-point home chalk. Los Angeles had won seven of nine (SU and ATS) prior to that game, including spread-covers in all three matchups last season. The Lakers are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings with the Spurs inside Staples Center.
The Spurs are on ATS surges of 12-4-1 on Monday and 18-7-2 against Pacific Division teams, but they’re also on pointspread slides of 2-5 after a spread-cover, 1-4 after a straight-up win and 2-5 against Western Conference teams. The Lakers are 3-1-2 ATS in their last six after a spread-cover, but just 1-3-1 ATS in their last five overall and 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven Monday games.
San Antonio is on several “under” streaks, including 12-5 on Monday, 5-1 on the road, 4-1 in Pacific Division teams and 7-2 against teams with a winning record. Los Angeles is on “under” runs of 19-9 on Monday, 17-8-1 after a spread-cover, 7-2 against winning teams and 4-0 against Southwest Division squads. In this rivalry, the “under” has been the play in seven of the past nine meetings overall, with the last four in a row in Hollywood staying low.

New Orleans Hornets vs. Orlando Magic
Play: Orlando Magic -7.5
The city of New Orleans is on a high after the Saints won the Super Bowl, but even though football season is over they are not quite yet into the swing of things for basketball. The Hornets are under .500 at 11-16 on the road as they head to Orlando. The Magic are one of the best home teams in the league with a record of 19-5 and only 3 other teams have fewer than 5 home losses in the entire NBA. Orlando is hot as they have won 8 of their last 10 including yesterday in Boston where they used a monster third quarter, outscoring Boston 36-11, to win the game holding on 96-87. Look for the Magic to continue to roll as they swat away the banged up Hornets at home. Play Orlando

Kansas vs. Texas
Play: Texas +1
Texas is coming off a mediocre performance at Oklahoma getting down by as many as 18,before getting back into the game only to lose. Today the Get a solid Kansas team that is winning but nearly as convincing as last years team. Texas has won 4 of the last 6 at home vs the Jay hawks and won 80% of the time at home since 1997 when the total is 150 to 155. Look for Texas to bounce back and win this one.

Kansas at Texas
Play: Texas
After winning seventeen straight games and climbing to the top spot in the nation, Texas (19-4) has dropped four of their last six games after Saturday's 80-71 loss at Oklahoma. Now the Longhorns return to Austin after their Oklahoma/Oklahoma State road trip last week with the opportunity to redeem themselves against the mighty Kansas Jayhawks. The Longhorns have been absolutely dominant at home this season as they sport a 12-1 record with a +23.5 net point differential. Texas shoots a strong 48.9% from the field while holding their opponents to under 36% shooting on their home court. And the Longhorns have covered five of their last six home games as an underdog of under seven points. Kansas (22-1) travels to Texas off their 75-64 win over Nebraska on Saturday. Kansas' lone loss this season was at Tennessee and they were taken to overtime in their last two road games at Colorado and Kansas State. Additionally, the Jayhawks are only 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games on the road. Expect this very talented Texas team to reclaim some respect with a big win over this highly-regarded Kansas club. Take the points with the Longhorns.
Jack Jones
Play Magic -7½
The Magic just beat the Celtics last night, but I don't expect any kind of letdown as they host the New Orleans Hornets on Monday. The Hornets have not played that well on the road this year and they have really struggled with Chris Paul out of the line up. New Orleans is only 11-16 on the road this season to begin with, but throw in the fact that they've lost 3 of their last 4 with their best player on the bench and you have a strong reason to play against them.
The Magic have been dominant on their home court, sporting a 19-5 record in Orlando. They average better than 103 points per game on offense at home while their defense has held opposing teams to only 93 points per game. These two teams haven't played yet this season, but it's a safe bet that the Magic are a much, much better team with Paul out of the line up.
SPORTS WAGERS
New Jersey +1.09 over PHILADELPHIA
The Devils are in a funk right now and in fact, have dropped five of its last seven with only two wins over that stretch coming against the Maple Leafs and they could have easily lost both those. They beat the Leafs in OT in one contest and in the other one they had the most unlikely comeback of the year thus far, down 3-1 with about four minutes to go but miraculously pulled it out. Instead of gaining momentum they went into MSG on Saturday and lost to the Rangers. The good news is that they’re not playing that bad and are keeping the opposition’s shot total way down. They outshot the Rangers 42-25 and have allowed 25 shots on net or less in seven of its last 10. Marty Brodeur has been a big part of their failures over the past couple of weeks and if he steps up his game the Devils will once again be a power. They should be ready to go here against a Flyers team that is showing signs of another struggle to go along with its lack of scoring. You’ll remember that when the Flyers were laboring they were tooth and nails to score anything. Well, the Flyers have scored just one goal in its last two games. Saturday in Minny they scored once on a rookie goaltender making his NHL debut and prior to that they were shutout in Edmonton. The Flyers have scored just 10 goals in its last six and they’ll return home from a three-game trip not in the best frame of mind. Lastly, the reports are that the Flyers had the day from hell yesterday trying to get back to Philadelphia because of the storm. Play: New Jersey +1.09 (Risking 2 units).
Edmonton +2.54 over PHOENIX
The Coyotes work damn hard and they’re about as tough to beat as anyone, especially in their own rink. However, teams like Washington and the Sharkies are favored by this much, not teams that usually grind out wins. The Coyotes are not in the easiest spot either. They return home from a four-game trip for just one game before heading out again for two more. They could definitely be flat tonight and don’t think that these Oilers aren’t dangerous because they are. The Oilers have been hit hard by the injury bug but they’ll be back making noise next year. They still have some goal scorers and they have a damn good history against these Coyotes. They played them twice this season and lost 5-4 in OT and beat them 4-0. Last season they beat them three out of four. So, if nothing else the Oilers have confidence playing the Coyotes but more than that is this outrageous tag on Phoenix, a team that does not blow out clubs and usually wins by a single goal. The Oilers will be right there this whole game with a chance to win and that’s all anyone can ask when taking back a tag like this. Huge overlay. Play: Edmonton +2.54 (Risking 2 units).
St. Louis +1.46 over COLORADO
The Blue Notes are in every game they play these days and based on that they have to be considered a decent play. They’ve dropped two in a row but they lost to Chicago and San Jose, arguably the two best teams in the West and maybe even in the league. They were right there in both of them, losing to Chicago 2-1 and to San Jose 4-2 but the Sharks scored with under five minutes to go. Prior to those two games the Blue Notes had won eight of 13 and four of the five losses were by a single goal. Meanwhile, the Av’s have two wins in its last six and they came against the Oilers and the Jackets in the game that got Hitchcock axed. They have a few significant injuries and while they’re still playing hard and they’re still tough to beat, they’re not winning as frequently as they were earlier and they’re also much more beatable than they were earlier. Of course the Blue Notes can win this one. Play: St. Louis +1.46 (Risking 2 units).
EZWINNERS
Valparaiso Crusaders -11.5
Valpo has been playing well as the Crusaders are on a 12-3-1 run against the spread that includes seven straight covers in Horizon League play. A lot of Valpo's success can be attributed to the growth and maturity of the freshmen that are now making a strong contribution. Illinois-Chicago is having a down year. The Flames have lost nine out of their last ten games and they are only 2-5 against the spread in their last seven league games. Lay the points with the hot team.
James Patrick Sports
Villanova vs.West Virginia
The Villanova Wildcats and underdog off a loss at Georgetown - looks to good to be true doesn't it - be careful as Bob Huggins Mountaineers are starting to play like the team they have been built up to be all season. Villanova hasn't had to much production at the pay window in their visits to Morgantown with a (1-4) ATS mark and this Big East series has gone to the home team in (6) of (8) contests. Big Game James Patrick's Monday College Basketball selection is West Virginia Mountaineers.
Bobby Maxwell
New Orleans +9' at ORLANDO
Scored another FREE winner on Sunday when Syracuse crushed Cincinnati in Big East action, improving my comp record to 46-16-1 with my last 63 selections. Tonight I have an NBA freebie for you as I grab the points with the Hornets in Orlando.
This is just too many points to pass up with New Orleans today as they are facing a team that just had to travel to Boston for a hard-fought game and return home for this one the next day.
New Orleans scored a 104-99 win at Charlotte on Saturday as an 8 ½-point underdog after losing three straight (SU and ATS). Maybe it finally kicked in that everybody has to pick up their game with Chris Paul on the sideline with a knee injury. His replacement, Darren Collison scored 24 points while David West had 21 and Peja Stojakovic and Emeka Okafor had 18 and 16 respectively.
Last time the Magic played at home was Friday when they lost to the lowly Wizards 92-91 as a 12 ½-point favorite. Now they come in off a back-to-back and don’t expect them to have the legs in this one.
New Orleans is 4-2-1 ATS in the last seven against Orlando. The underdog is 8-2-1 ATS in the last 10 and the Hornets have gone 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven trips to Orlando. They are also on ATS streaks of 5-0 on the road, 5-0 against Southeast Division teams and 8-1 against teams with a winning percentage above .600.
Look for the Hornets to keep this one close throughout. They might not pull off the outright upset, but they are getting inside the number. Play New Orleans.

Villanova at WEST VIRGINIA -4'
Not only did I nail my Super Bowl play Sunday, but I also gave out another winner with my complimentary selection, taking Maryland to beat up on North Carolina. That pushes my record to 70-46-4 over the past 120 days, and I've got another college winner today!
West Virginia hammered Villanova 93-72 last season, handing the Wildcats their worst loss of the year, as Da'Sean Butler had a career-high 43 points.
And Villlanova star Scottie Reynolds is averaging just 9.3 points on 31.8 percent shooting in three career games against the Mountaineers, fouling out in two previous games in Morgantown.
Besides Butler, West Virginia has other solid plays down low, such as Kevin Jones (14.2 ppg, 7.6 rebounds) and Devin Ebanks (11.1 ppg, 8.7 rebounds), and that is where the Mountaineers will ultimately take control of this game.
Villanova is just 1-4 ATS in the teams' last five meetings and 1-4 ATS in its last five games at West Virginia. And the home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings between the teams. Take the Mountaineers to stand tough on their home court and cover the points tonight.

Kansas -1 at TEXAS
Sunday comp play winner on Syracuse.
For Monday, G-Man going to back Kansas to come through at Texas.
The shine is a little bit off on the Longhorns, as they come into this contest having lost 4 of their last 6 straight up. Texas has also gone a dismal 1-9 against the spread their last 10 lined games!
Kansas comes into Austin having reeled off 8 straight wins to regain the top spot in the nation, and the Jayhawks have done the job in this series against their conference rival, as KU has won 5 of the last 6 meetings, while covering in the last pair of showdowns.
The Jayhawks have also "owned it" under the Monday night lights, as Kansas sports a profitable 16-5 spread mark their last 21 Monday night games, and the Rock-Chalkers are 17-7-2 their last 26 spread decisions in Big 12 play.
Take Kansas to continue their run!

Brett Atkins
I handed out the free winner to you on Sunday when Syracuse went to Cincinnati and crushed the Bearcats in Big East play. Tonight I am going with Texas at home plus the points against Kansas.
Kansas has won four straight on the road but look deeper and you’ll see OT wins in their last two at Colorado and Kansas State, failing to cover in either game, as they’ve gone 1-3-1 ATS on the highway since the calendar flipped to 2010.
A week ago, it looked like Texas got its momentum back with a 72-60 win at Iba Arena against Oklahoma State. But then Saturday they looked lost again, losing at Oklahoma 71-80 as a 6 ½-point favorite. Let’s call it a look-ahead problem and they are geared up for this one.
The Longhorns have got to get big games from the big three of Damion James, Dexter Pittman and Avery Bradley to win this thing. The crowd is going to be rockin’ and these guys should be fired up for this one. The last time these two met in Texas, the Longhorns won 72-69 as a 5 ½-point underdog and they are 6-4 ATS in the last 10 overall meetings.
Texas is 23-9 ATS in its last 32 Monday games while Kansas is 2-6-1 ATS in its last nine on the road. Play the Longhorns!

Jay McNeil
I improved to 9-2 with my free plays over the last 11 days with the Raptors' double-digit victory over Sacramento on Sunday. And that's not the end of the line for this hot streak!
While Kansas hasn't won in Austin since Feb. 11, 2002, it has taken five of its last six games against Texas, which is struggling right now.
The Longhorns are 2-4 in their last six games, and they are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games.
The Jayhawks have better perimeter players in Sherron Collins, Xavier Henry and Tyshawn Taylor, and they are solid in the paint with Marcus Morris and Cole Aldrich.
Kansas is 17-7-2 ATS in its last 26 games against Big 12 opponents, while Texas is 6-21-1 in its last 28 vs. conference foes. Take the Jayhawks to come away with a victory on the road today.

Gave you a Sunday comp play winner on Toronto in the NBA.
For Monday, going to take the points with the Wildcats, as Villanova looks for some revenge at West Virginia.
The Wildcats dropped a 103-90 decision at Georgetown this weekend, and they have lost 4 of the last 5 series meetings against the Mountaineers, including an ugly 93-72 loss at Morgantown last February!
'Nova is still 8-4 against the spread on the road this year, while West Virginia is 4-6 against the spread at home.
Have to take the points, and look for the Wildcats to save some face.
