I am returning to something that I did last year when I did just 1 play per day per each sport and had success of getting over 60% for 7 straight months. I wanted to try this given what I was seeing from the latest numbers we've been tracking with my plays. I still believe that the more you butt your head against Vegas the less likely you are to succeed so look for just 1 POD per day in the NBA and College Basketball every day for at least the next week. I believe this will likely lead us to more profit as we ride our best play due to our research and that should yield us a steady dose of winning days and everything else should take care of itself. Bear with me as I re-start this to see where it takes us. thanks. The Morehead State Eagles are quietly soaring under the radar and there is a reason they are favored today. This team faced some incredibly tough non-conference games on their schedule including Vanderbilt, Drake and Louisville. That worked out extremelyl well for this team as it prepared them for their conference games which they have fared much better. Remember, although this team is ranked 270 in most power rankings, they have done wonders the last four games. Consequently, they are ona 4-0 ATS streak over their last four games. This team: Beat Central Florida on neutral ground in New Mexico: 71-65. That is a team that is similarly ranked with James Madison btw. Then, this team beat Tennessee Martin at home 80-71, another team ranked in the top 220. Remember, James Madison is ranked in the top 230. Then, it what might be the biggest shocker of the year, this team beat Murray State at home 79-74 in a game they were 6.5 dogs and then went on the road recently to lose by just 6 points to an Illinois State team that was favored ovedr them by 18 points. Now, this team faces a James Madison team that beat them and beat the pulp out of them 89-57 last year. You think Morehead State isn't ready for this game in a big way. What stinks is that this team is in the afternoon, but regardless, I like Morehead State coming off a loss in the confines of their home here as they have beat better teams like Murray State by 7 and I can see them getting revenge here and winning by about 12 points. The James Madison Dukes are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 games and the Eagles once again are 4-0 ATS in their last four overall.
5 Unit Play.NBA Game of the Week: Take Portland Trail Blazers -5 over Phoenix Suns
Well, whenever you see 65% of the public riding a dog that is usually a good sign to move far away from that game. In fact, it is a good sign to go the other way. Phoenix has beat this team in back to back games 102-92 and 107-96 in the first two games of the year thus far. So, this is a huge revenge game for Portland no matter how you slice it. Tack on the fact that this team is 8-2 at home while Phoenix is just 7-5 on the road it makes up for a split that is in our favor. Keep in mind that I firmly believe that Nate McMillan is the better coach between these two teams as Coach Porter of the Suns to me is just a hack that simply has players that can play and if you give him a young crop of players like Nate has, he couldn't teach them to run a single offense. What the Suns have is the remnants of Mike D'Antoni's genius which he is proving works in New York as well. Remember, Phoenix lost by 15 to Dallas and 13 to New Orleans on the road earlier this year. Portland beat the likes of New Orleans at home by 15 when they had revenge and this is the exact same situation. Expect Portland to be absolutely fired up for this game and win this game by double-digits as I expect 65% of the public to get buried here while we cash in our NBA GOW with the Portland Trail Blazers by 12 over the Phoenix Suns. The Suns are just 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games on the road as ATS Underdogs while the Blazers are 4-1 ATS when facing a winning team at home meaning they "show up" well against the better teams in the league in their house.

$2000.00-107 ‘Under’ 44.5 Indianapolis at Jacksonville
The Jaguars offense really struggled to move the ball against a Green Bay defense that gave up nearly 600 yards the week before. I don’t see them doing much against a suddenly resurgent Colts front. Only two of the last seven meetings have seen more than 44 points and the Jags are on a 4-1 ‘under’ run. Jacksonville has scored over 21 points just once in the last eight weeks and the Colts have given up more than 21 points just once in the last seven weeks. No Marvin Harrison only helps this play.

60 DIME INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Be sure you're laying no more than 6-1/2 points with this game. The line is 6 across the board a day early, but in the event the line starts moving, I want you to be sure to play this game at less than 7 points.
Sorry, but I am not going to fall for Jacksonville getting up for this one. Not when Indianapolis has so much to play for and is arguably the hottest football team in the NFL right now.
Both teams started the season 3-4, but Indianapolis (10-4) has won seven in a row since that rough start to the 2008-09 campaign and will clinch a playoff spot with a win tonight against Jacksonville (5-9), which is mired in a 2-5 skid.
And you can forget about Colts' receiver Marvin Harrison being out for this one, the Jaguars have placed three players on injured reserve - MLB Daryl Smith, WR Jerry Porter and DT Tony McDaniel - all three being regulars in the rotation.
And that just adds to an already dinged-up roster that has been the biggest culprit to a disappointing season. Remember, last week the Jags placed starting running back Fred Taylor and starting fullback Greg Jones on the injured reserve list.
Inside the betting numbers, Indianapolis is on a 6-0 spread run on Thursday nights, while the road team is on a 7-2 run the last nine times they've met. On the other hand, the Jaguars are mired in spread skids of 2-8 in Week 16, 1-5 versus AFC South teams, 2-12 on grass, 1-6 at home, 0-4 versus the AFC and 1-4 overall.
