4% Drexel -5.5
#886 Drexel -5.5 James Madison 7 PM
Drexel may only be 5-5 in CAA action, but they’ve played the toughest conference schedule. Now we get to back Dragons in their first home game since Jan 22nd which was a loss. Madison is #3 in conference offense efficiency but dead last in CAA defense. The Dukes are #2 in 3pt shooting in CAA play but Dragons are #2 in 3 point D. James Madison allowing 50.2% shooting in their L5 games and playing a third straight road game in SIX days. Drexel playing their 2nd games in 7 days.

ARIZONA @ ARIZONA ST. | 02/07 | 9:00 PM EST
ARIZONA ST. +13
ANALYSIS: The Sun Devils win over UCLA was not a fluke. They have been playing well and they put it all together to upset the third ranked team in the country. This will be the final game of their five game stretch against ranked teams (USC, Arizona, USC, UCLA). The Sun Devils are 5-1 ATS in their last six games including a 10.5 point cover against this Wildcats team. The Wildcats have slowed down from their hot start. Their offense is struggling as they are only averaging 68.5 PPG in their last four game. They are just 1-3 ATS in those four games. This spread is just too big. Expect the Sun Devils to keep this game close enough to cover this spread.
TEMPLE @ SOUTH FLORIDA | 02/07 | 7:00 PM EST
TEMPLE -3.5
ANALYSIS: The Owls are playing great as they have covered the spread in five straight games and in eight of their last nine games. They have also been dominant on the road. The Owls are 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS on the road against conference opponents. On the other side, the Bulls have been playing terribly. They are just 1-8 SU and 2-7 ATS in their last nine games. The Owls are the much better team. Kenpom ranks them 124 spots ahead of the Bulls due to the Bulls terrible offense. The Bulls rank bottom three in Division I in PPG, field goal percentage, and three point percentage. They are also bottom 25 in free throw percentage. This spread is too small for how much better the Owls are. Lay the points with the Owls.

NEW JERSEY @ OTTAWA | 02/07 | 7:00 PM EST
OTTAWA -115
ANALYSIS: Might be my first time picking Ottawa this season and if the Sens lose it may be my last. They shouldn't considering New Jersey is without its best two players in All-Star forward Jack Hughes, who landed on the COVID list Sunday (that could be a major issue considering he played in the All-Star Game and competed in the skills competition), and defenseman Dougie Hamilton, who remains out injured. New Jersey has just five road wins.
+1037 56-35-2 IN LAST 93 NHL PICKS
PRAIRIE VIEW @ FLORIDA A&M | 02/07 | 7:30 PM EST
FLORIDA A&M -119
ANALYSIS: Florida A&M in 7-3 and leads the SWAC East Division while Prairie View A&M is 4-6 and second-to-last in the West but the Rattlers are only giving a point at home? They had a seven-game winning streak snapped Saturday in a loss to Texas Southern. Prairie View also lost Saturday at Bethune-Cookman. Florida A&M's MJ Randolph leads the SWAC in scoring at 19.8 ppg. The Rattlers have covered their past five as favorites -- we'll do the moneyline to avoid a possible one-point push.
+1923 121-81-3 IN LAST 205 CBB PICKS
TORONTO @ CHARLOTTE | 02/07 | 7:00 PM EST
CHARLOTTE +3
ANALYSIS: I'm a little surprised the Hornets are getting three points at home ... although they are struggling right now and the Raptors are rolling. Both teams appear quite healthy. Toronto has played a very grueling schedule over the past week-plus. The Raptors are 2-7 ATS in their past nine as road favorites, while the Hornets are 5-1 in their past six as underdogs.

GOLDEN ST. @ OKLAHOMA CITY | 02/07 | 8:00 PM EST
GOLDEN ST. -12.5
ANALYSIS: The Thunder remain without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle), who has missed four straight games. They have actually gone 3-1 since he went down, but two of their wins came over the depleted Trail Blazers. The last time they faced the Warriors, they lost by 21 points despite being at full strength. Taking a road team that is favored by this many points is risky, but it’s difficult to envision a scenario in which the Thunder can keep things close. The Warriors haven’t played since Thursday and won’t play again until Wednesday, so there’s no reason to think that they will rest anyone.

VEGAS @ EDMONTON | 02/08 | 9:00 PM EST
EDMONTON -115
ANALYSIS: Vegas played four road games, then one at home, and now hits the road again. Not an ideal spot for NHL teams. The Oilers already have defeated the Golden Knights twice this season, when Vegas was much healthier on the blue line. Edmonton is ranked seventh in faceoff winning percentage, while Vegas is No. 26. I like the home team to get the win.

KANSAS @ TEXAS | 02/07 | 9:00 PM EST
TEXAS -1.5
ANALYSIS: My model says the Longhorns cover in well over 60 percent of the simulations, so you're getting strong value with them at this number. Texas has won four of its last five games, with two of the victories coming against ranked opponents. Meanwhile, two of the Jayhawks' three defeats this season have been versus top-25 teams. The Longhorns are 11-35 in the all-time series but won both meetings last season. Look for Texas to make it three in a row.

VIRGINIA @ DUKE | 02/07 | 7:00 PM EST
VIRGINIA +11.5
ANALYSIS: Five of the last seven Duke-Virginia games have been decided by one or two points, and I think we get another competitive game tonight. The Cavaliers are playing their best ball of the season, and their slow pace should help too. This is an obvious letdown spot for the Blue Devils, who rolled to a 20-point win over the Tar Heels on Saturday -- Coach K's last game in Chapel Hill. The underdog is 23-8-1 ATS in the past 32 meetings.

UNDER 124
ANALYSIS: USF is in the slowest 20% of teams in the nation. The only way they're able to beat opponents is if they can control the pace and win a low scoring game. Slowing it down is going to be their goal Monday night against Temple, too. Temple should be more than happy to oblige, as they've gone under the number in 8 of their last 10. Add in that USF has scored 55 or less points in each of their last four games and you have a strong play. If you bet every Under for these teams this season you'd be a combined 28-12. I firmly believe 124 is too many points for this game. My model agrees and has this at 118 points. Grab the Under.
