INDIANA PACERS +5
Toronto is a horrendous 1-8 SU and 2-7 ATS when they allow 100 or more points this season. That makes laying five points (that's the opening line - play will still be active regardless of line movement) against a Pacers team that can certainly score w/ the best of them very unappealing. In fact, Indiana averages 98.7 PPG, but that number is down thanks to back-to-back sub-par performances vs. good defensive clubs in Cleveland and Charlotte. The Raptors are not a good defensive team, allowing a terrible 107.9 PPG, which is tied with 0-13 New Jersey for worst in the Eastern Conference. The Pacers are 21-9 ATS when coming off a road loss and scored 130 points the last time they faced Toronto in April. Indiana is our 20* Eastern Conference Game of the Month.

5* Pot of Gold
New Mexico State vs. Cal State Fullerton
Play: New Mexico State Aggies
The Aggies are a faced paced team and although one of the key components will be missing here, (Forward Wendall McKines), but there are plenty of other weapons, size and depth to allow the Aggies to cash a winning ticket with this generous number on the road. The Titans lost their leading scorer, Josh Akognon (23.9 ppg), and are counting on 6 newcomers that include three tranfers to round out a team that finished (15-17) a year ago. Well take the veteran Aggies that posted 17 wins a year ago to get it done here.
3* Pot of Gold
Ball State vs. Western Michigan
Play: Western Michigan
Cardinals HC Stan Parrish has had his share off tough luck as his Ball State Football Team is just a mistake awaiting to happen on a weekly basis. His Red Birds have just 6 days off to prepare for this game while the Broncos have had 10 days. An emotional night in Kalamazoo for sure as veteran QB Tim Hiller plays his home finale and WMU needs a win to become Bowl Eligible. Bad teams just seem to find a way to beat you and Ball State fits that role this season, so, Go West Young Man - Go West- That's Western Michigan!

College Basketball Game of the Month
7* Fullerton (-) over New Mexico State
On paper, NMSU returns all five starters from a year ago and also adds in some solid talent. However, two of those returning starters will miss this game (and the rest of the first semester) due to suspensions/and or grades, and one of the recruits will also be held out of this game as he waits NCAA sanctions for a summer league involvement. On the other hand, Fullerton brings back four starters, two solid Juco transfers, and three transfers with Division I experience. In their last game all Fullerton did was snap UCLA’s 37 game home winning streak against non conference foes, and CSF absolutely deserved that win, as there was not a fluky statline of anything crazy, Fullerton played better, and they won. NMSU is 1-2 on the season with the only win coming against Oklahoma-Panhandle, and in their only other road trip lost by 32 points to St Mary’s. One other key stat to take a look at here is rebounding, and even though Fullerton has played the tougher schedule, they still hold a big time glass edge in this matchup, as CSF is +5.5 in caroms per game and the Aggies are -6.0 in that category. Numbers show that Aggies are 8-18 ATS in their last 26 underdog roles and that Cal State Fullerton is 18-8 in their last 26 tilts against losing teams. Also, while NMSU did win last year’s meeting, that was in Las Cruces, and NMSU pulled out an eight point win but needed to shoot 63% from the field, 52% from beyond the arc, and hit seven more free throws than Fullerton to get that win. Note also that was with a full roster, something New Mexico State does not have at this time. Finally, both sets of our Power Ratings have the Titans favored by more than this number, with one of the sets showing that the line should be in double digits. Remember the Titans!

3* Tuesday Night NBA Slam Dunk (100% Angle)
3* Take Toronto ATS
The Raptors are the superior overall team here and this pick falls into one of my top NBA systems. The Pacers are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games when playing with 1 days rest and they are also just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games after a loss. The Raptors are a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite and they are also a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against a Central division opponent. The favorite is a perfect 4-0 ATS in the last 4 games between these two teams and I look for Toronto to dominate this game from start to finish. Take Toronto as my NBA Slam Dunk for Tuesday night.
Tuesday Night College Football Smash (16-8 Football Run)
3* Take Western Michigan ATS
This pick falls into one of my top CFB systems and we are actually getting very solid line value here tonight with the superior team. The Cardinals are just 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a losing record and they are just 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games against a team with a losing record at home. The Broncos are averaging 32.2 ppg at home this season while putting up 460.7 total yards per game. The Cardinals offense has struggled over their last 3 games averaging just 13.3 ppg while accumulating just 259.7 ypg and with key injuries on offense I look for their production to be down again tonight. Take the Western Michigan Broncos as my CFB Smash for Tuesday Night.
