SC UPSTATE @ HAMPTON | 02/02 | 7:00 PM EST
SC UPSTATE -2.5
ANALYSIS: I'm failing to understand this line. This USC Upstate team just upset NC A&T by 20 and recently beat Gardner Webb by 13. They were +12.5 in the that game! Clearly Vegas thinks their streak ends, but Hampton isn't good. The Pirates have the 3rd worst effective field goal percentage out of all the 358 Division I schools. Meanwhile USCU has the second best offense in the Big South. My model is making this one 6.5 points for the Spartans, but my gut says it'll be closer to 10 points. Take the road favorites to stay hot against mediocre opposition.
TEMPLE @ EAST CAROLINA | 02/02 | 7:00 PM EST
EAST CAROLINA +1.5
ANALYSIS: How many times do we have to go over this? ECU is 10-2 at home this season and they just suffered the second loss in a single point defeat to Cincinnati. We covered with them there and we will take the Pirates at home again today since the model makes them a one point favorite. It's definitely going to be a battle, but the Pirates are going to hang around. Plus, they're a great free throw shooting team which always gives them a chance late in games. I'll take the points on the home underdog with ECU.

SEATTLE @ N.Y. ISLANDERS | 02/02 | 7:00 PM EST
N.Y. ISLANDERS -160
ANALYSIS: We faded Seattle in Boston on Tuesday and backed the Isles at home vs. Ottawa, and those both worked out so let's do the same here as they face each other. It should be Semyon Varlamov in net for New York, and the Russian has allowed just 11 goals over his last six appearances. The Kraken's Philipp Grubauer is 2-8-0 with a 3.58 GAA on the road. It's Seattle's fourth road game in six nights, so I doubt the players have much left. The Kraken have lost their past four in the second of a B2B. I'd think this ML only goes up.

LOS ANGELES @ DETROIT | 02/02 | 7:30 PM EST
DETROIT 125
ANALYSIS: One of a few Grade A picks for Wednesday in the NHL as my model has the Red Wings winning outright at home, so they are great value at +125. It's the end of a grueling six-game trip for Los Angeles. Detroit is six games over .500 at home.

PURDUE @ MINNESOTA | 02/02 | 7:00 PM EST
OVER 141.5
ANALYSIS: This total is low for these two teams. The Over has cashed in seven of the Boilermakers last nine games and also in five of the Gophers last six games. The Over has also cashed in four of the last five meetings between these two teams. For the way Purdue plays, this total is way too low. I expect Purdue to push the pace and for the game to explode over this total.
SAINT LOUIS @ GEORGE MASON | 02/02 | 7:00 PM EST
GEORGE MASON 101
ANALYSIS: The Patriots should not be the underdogs in this matchup. The Patriots are 8-1 SU and 7-2 ATS at home. The Billikens are just 2-3 SU and ATS in true road games. The Patriots have been playing great in conference play and will continue to do so against an average team in the A10. The Patriots should be able to win this game outright on their home court.

NOTRE DAME @ MIAMI (FLA.) | 02/02 | 7:00 PM EST
MIAMI (FLA.) -198
ANALYSIS: I don't love the Hurricanes this much overall, but this seems like Trap City for the Irish as they had their first sellout in years Monday but their unbeaten home record went up in smoke in a rout by Duke. This caps a stretch of four games in eight days, including three in five for Notre Dame. Miami is rested and its only two losses in the past 14 games are by one point each to Florida State.
+2156 115-76-3 IN LAST 194 CBB PICKS
EDMONTON @ WASHINGTON | 02/02 | 7:00 PM EST
EDMONTON -105
ANALYSIS: I was going to pass on this game but will now roll with the Oilers because of two reasons: 1) The Caps are playing the second of a back-to-back and may have a tired Ilya Samsonov in net because he had to replace an injured Vitek Vanecek early in Tuesday's OT win in Pittsburgh; 2) Washington superstar Alex Ovechkin was just ruled out after testing positive for COVID, which also means he'll miss the All-Star Game.

MEMPHIS @ NEW YORK | 02/02 | 7:30 PM EST
MEMPHIS -4
ANALYSIS: The Knicks have been in a freefall, losing six of their last eight games. Three of those losses came at home, where they are just 13-14 ATS. The Grizzlies will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss Monday to a Sixers team that was playing without Joel Embiid. Given their 17-8 record ATS on the road, I like the Grizzlies to rebound with a convincing victory.
+175 15-12 IN LAST 27 NBA PICKS

DENVER @ UTAH | 02/02 | 10:00 PM EST
DENVER 110
ANALYSIS: The Jazz are enduring a five-game losing streak and won't have Rudy Gobert or Donovan Mitchell for Wednesday's matchup against the Nuggets. Utah beat Denver without the reigning DPOY earlier this month but has since lost eight consecutive matchups without him in the lineup. The reigning MVP has a chance to destroy a Jazz interior that could also be missing Hassan Whiteside (back).
+375 23-18 IN LAST 41 NBA PICKS
