The Flames are 1-2 at home while the Avs are a perfect 0-4 as roadies. Colorado was shut out 3-0 at Vancouver last night and have been outscored 11-1 in their last 3 games. Back to back games are hard to win at this level.
The Mavericks are 7-16 this season, but an even 4-4 when eating home cookin'. The Mastadons (a truly great nickname) are 1-11 when putting in windshield time, and have lost 7 of their last 10 overall. They've lost 5 straight ATS.
The Blackhawks are red hot right now, jumping out to a 6-0 start. The host Wild is 3-2-1 this season and 3-1 on their home ice. They played last night while the Windy City bunch rested. Advantage Chicago.
The visiting Tigers are 10-12 this season and 6-7 on the highway. The Monarchs are bad both at home and on the road, posting a 2-17 record. Perhaps they should find somewhere else to play.3 units on Wright St (+$135) over Detroit Mercy
The hosts beat Detroit Mercy on their home court last week 64-62, so why not at home. The Raiders are 8-2 at home while the Titans are 3-6 on the road.2 units on South Carolina (+23) over Florida
The 12-7 Gamecocks have only lost one game this season by more than 23 points (24 to St. Johns), and are 3-3 on the road. The Gators are 16-2 and a perfect 10-0 at home. They've also won 8 straight, but 23 is a big number to overcome. Look for the Gamecocks to cover.
The Senators are 3-1-1 and 1-0-1 at home this year. The visiting Caps are 1-3-1 and winless in 2 road games.$10 on Detroit (-1 1/2) @ +$195 over Dallas
The Red Wings are a pedestrian 2-2-1 thus far, only slightly better than the Stars 2-3-1 record, but Dallas played last night. Teams playing back to back games struggle.$15 on Minnesota (-1 1/2) @ +$170 over Columbus
Another case of a team playing on consecutive nights. The Blue Jackets beat the Stars last night to improve to 2-3-1. The Wild is 2-2-1 and 2-1 on home ice.$15 on Tampa Bay (-1 1/2) @ +$185 over Florida
The Lightning are off to a good start with a 4-1 record, 3-0 at home. The Panthers are quite the opposite, starting with a 1-4 record and have dropped 4 straight.
The visiting Sycamores are 13-7 and have won 4 of 10 on the highway. In their last 13 games, they have covered 11 times. The Shockers are 19-2 and a perfect 13-0 at home, so an ISU win would truly be "shocking," but they should be able to hang close enough to cover the spread.3 units @ 11/10 on Mississippi (-3) over Kentucky
The Rebels are 11-0 at home and have won 9 of their last 10 overall. They are also 6-2 ATS in their last 8, and have won all three home conference games by an average of 11 points. The visiting Wildcats are 13-6 (2-3 on the road), are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games.
The Kings are 1-2-1 on the season, but all but one of those are road games and they are coming off a 4-2 road win over Phoenix. The Canucks are 2-2-1 (1-1 on the road) and lost 4-1 at San Jose yesterday. Back to back road games are tough, especially since the players aren't in shape yet because of the strike.

The Mountaineers are only 8-10 this season, but play a better brand of basketball at home, posting a 6-2 record. They have won 5 straight at home. Vegas has underestimated this team all season, as the Mountaineers are 10-3 ATS. The visiting Wildacats are 12-7, but only 4-5 on the highway.
The host Raptors are 11-9 when sleeping in their own beds. The Cavs are 6-20 when traveling. Toronto has won 4 of the last 5 between the teams.

This should be a great game! The host Wildcats are 15-2 and on an 8 game winning streak. Not to be outdone, the Jayhawks are 16-1 and have run off 15 in a row. K-State is 12-0 at home this season, Kansas is 3-0 on the highway. The Jayhawks have won 18 of the last 21 between the two teams, but a 12-0 home team at 3-2 is hard to pass up.
The Huskers are 8-4 in Lincoln and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 outings. Illinois is 14-5 this season, but has dropped 3 in a row and 5 of 7. Nebraska won here last year 80-57.Starting Bankroll 300 units

This is more of a bet against the Rockets, (who have looked more like the Rockettes on the court lately) than it is a bet for the Bobcats. Houston is 7-14 on the road and has lost 7 straight overall. Charlotte is 5-16 at home, but at better than 2-1 odds, it's worth a small bet.2 units on Alabama A&M (+$1025) over Southern A&M
5Dimes was the only book taking money line bets when this was written. The Bulldogs are 7-10 overall, but 6-2 when sleeping in their own beds. The Southern Jaguars are white hot, winning 12 of their last 13, but are only 5-6 on foreign soil this season. At 10-1, it's worth a couple bucks.Starting Bankroll 300 units
The host Salukis are 4-2 at home this season. The Redbirds are 2-5 in enemy territory. Both teams have struggled lately, with Southern Illinois dropping 6 of 7 and ISU 6 in a row.Starting Bankroll 300 units
The Falcons are 8-1 at the Georgia Dome this season and Matt Ryan is an amazing 36-4 in home games over his career. The Niners are 5-3 on the highway and 2-2 in domes. The big questions will be whether Atlanta can keep Kaepernick from running wild and also run the ball effectively themselves. Teams that have had success against San Francisco this season have run the ball well.
The 22-17 Hawks are tough at home, winning 13 of 19. The Spurs are a stellar 31-11 and 13-9 on the highway. Atlanta is 4-1 in their last 5 home games while San Antonio has dropped 3 straight roadies. Both teams played last night, but the Spurs are older and might be more affected.
Two excellent teams get together today on the ASU campus. The Sun Devils are 12-1 at home this season. The Wildcats are 15-1 overall and 5-1 on foreign soil, but are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 outings. ASU won 87-80 at home over Arizona last year.

The host Catamounts (whatever that is) are 11-6 this season and 6-2 when eating home cooking. They have won 4 of their last 5 overall and 2 of their last 3 versus the Seawolves. Stony Brook is a stellar 13-4 and 7-3 in enemy territory. They are also 5-0 in 2013, so they are playing well. Vermont has won 9 of the last 10 match ups against the Seawolves on their home court.

A match up between two "meh" teams, with the Huskers bringing a 9-8 record to the party and the Boilermakers 8-8. Nebraska is 8-3 at home however, while Purdue has only won 1 road game in 4 tries this season.
The Jazz are a pedestrian 20-19 this season, but 11-4 at home. In their last 7 games, they are 5-2 ATS. The Heat is 24-11, but only a .500 team in enemy territory, going 8-8. They are 2-7 in their last 9 games ATS.

The host Pats have won 6 of their last 7 home games, the last three by an average of 30 PPG. One of those wins was a 42-14 thrashing of the Texans. Houston is 2-3 in their last 5 games and really haven't put together a complete game in the second half of the season.

The Mountaineers are 3-2 at home and have won 5 of the last 6 versus the Phoenix. ASU is 8-0 ATS this season. Elon is 3-4 on the highway and have lost 3 of their last 4 overall.
This one is a toss up, so I like the +$130 on the Packers. Can the Niners pressure
Rodgers? Can the Pack stop Gore or will San Fran control the clock? Green Bay's
defense is bolstered by the return of Clay Matthews and Charles Woodson.
Woodson's job will be to cover Tim Crabtree. If it comes down to a field goal, freshly
signed Billy Cundiff missed a 32 yarder in the AFC Championship Game last year for
the Ravens. How will he hold up under pressure if the 49ers need him late?
The Trailblazers have won 5 of their last 6 games and are 12-4 at home this season. Miami has dropped 3 of their last 5 on the highway and are 7-7 overall.
The Utes are only 8-6 this season, but are 4-1 at home. UCLA has an impressive 12-3 record, but only two road games this season. They are 1-1 straight up and 0-2 ATS.2 units on Seattle (+$160) over New Mexico St.

The 49ers are 12-2 overall and 9-1 at home. However, they haven't played in over 2 weeks, so they may be a little rusty in the first half. But, if they can hang with the 10-3 Explorers (4-2 on the road), they could steal this one late.2 units on Illinois- Chicago (+$145) over Valpariso
The Flames are 7-0 at home this season and Valpo is 3-4 on the highway. However, the Crusaders have won 6 straight against ICU.2 units on Wake Forest (+$255) over Virginia
This is a long shot, but the Demon Deacons are 6-2 at home. The Cavaliers are 11-3 overall, but have only played three road games, losing two of them. Wake has won 7 straight at home against Virginia.2 units on Austin Peay (+$125) over Morehead St.
The Governors are only 4-12 this season, but have played 11 road games. They are a much better team at home as evidenced by their 3-2 record. The Eagles are a pedestrian 8-8 this season, and only 1-6 on the highway. Morehead has won the last 4 games between the two schools.
The Pacers are 12-3 straight up and 9-6 ATS at home this season. The Heat is 7-6 on the road and 5-8 ATS.
