This is a play on the TOWSON TIGERS for our Thursday Free Play. Towson came through for us as a premium play on Saturday as it snapped a four-game losing streak with a win at Northeastern and I think that momentum carries over back home. The Tigers are 9-9 overall and just 1-4 in the Coastal and they will be out to snap a two-game home losing streak, the latest defeat came one week ago as they played a Thursday afternoon game with no students and a sparse crowd so we expect a better environment tonight. Towson is 13-1 in its last 14 home games following a win. Charleston has turned the corner as after a 4-6 start, the Cougars have won seven straight games and they are off to a 4-0 start in the conference. This start has coincided with the return of Colby Duggan who missed the first 13 games of the season and is coming off a season high 22 points against Hampton. This is the time to sell high hitting the road. Play (820) Towson Tigers

This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. The Celtics are in need of getting their offensive chemistry back and it will help getting Jaylen Brown back who missed their last game as after winning five of six games, Boston lost to Indiana on Monday which came after a loss against the Spurs as they scored 96 and 95 points respectively. Boston remains on the road where it is 12-8 and in a good bounce back spot as it is auto take with its 0-4 ATS run. The Celtics are 10-1 in their last 11 road games following a loss as favorites. Miami came through for us on Monday as it beat Phoenix which snapped a three-game losing streak and got back to two games over .500. The Heat have been much better at home but they are catching Boston at the worst time. Here, we play on teams allowing between 108 and 114 ppg and coming off two straight losses by six points or less going up against teams allowing between 114 and 118 ppg. This situation is 26-10 (72.2 percent) since 2017. 10* (507) Boston Celtics

This is a play on the NORTHERN COLORADO BEARS for our CBB Contrarian Crusher. Northern Colorado opened the season 9-1 but it has been a bit of a struggle since then as the Bears are just 2-5 in their last seven games including a 1-3 record in the Big Sky Conference. They put up a great effort against Texas Tech to open this recent skid as the lost by 11 and then had the letdown against Denver next time out. Northern Colorado then went to Boulder and upset Colorado by five points as a 14.5-point underdog and then came another letdown with a pair of losses in Montana and now hit the road coming off a 1-1 homestand. Portland St. is the most profitable team in college basketball as it is 10-1 ATS including five straight wins against the number but the Vikings are covering by just 3.2 ppg which is far down the list. They are 9-5 overall including three non-Division I wins and they are 3-0 in the conference with two OT wins. 10* (853) Northern Colorado Bears

This is a play on the CAL POLY MUSTANGS for our CBB Late Powerhouse. Hawaii is back on the mainland after playing just one home game all of last week, a solid one point win over UC Irvine. The Warriors are 1-2 on the road with a one point loss at Oregon to open the season and then a 10-point loss at UC San Diego in its last road contest which came after a 43-point win at UC Riverside which is a bit concerning going against them but they are overvalued here based on their overall 12-3 record and not their 5-8 ATS mark. Cal Poly had a breakout season last year as it won 16 games after winning 23 games in the previous four seasons combined. The Mustangs are off to a 7-11 start including losses in six of their last eight games but they are 3-3 in the Big West Conference. The losses have been tough one as four of the recent six have been by one or two possessions including all three at home by 10 points combined. 10* (848) Cal Poly Mustangs

This is a play on the SIUE COUGARS for our OVC Game of the Month. SIUE is coming off a four-game homestand and while that could be a fade factor, the Cougars went just 2-2 so there is no letdown or a lethargic attitude hitting the road. They are now 3-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference and it has been a bunch of close calls as the net point differential in the six games is +5 with those three losses coming by eight points combined including a four-point loss in overtime. SIUE is on a 1-6 ATS run which is close enough for an auto take and even more so knowing those six losses against the number were all as favorites. The Cougars are 4-0 ATS as underdogs, winning three outright, losing only to Wisconsin. UT Martin is off to a 5-1 start including five straight wins but those have been against teams with ratings of No. 306 or worse and the Skyhawks are overvalued here because of the run and the opposite ATS run the other way. 10* (831) SIUE Cougars

This is a play on the NORTH DAKOTA FIGHTING HAWKS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. St. Thomas is riding an eight-game winning streak that includes a 3-0 start in the Summit League but those three wins were against three of the bottom four teams in the conference in terms of preseason expectations and all three teams in the bottom half of the NET Rankings in the conference. The Tommies remain on the road where they are 4-1 but the wins were not impressive ones and all were in situations with nothing big on deck but here they have North Dakota St. on deck, the only other undefeated team in the conference. North Dakota is off to a 3-1 start in the Summit and while it might be a little skewed with wins over Oral Roberts and Kansas City, the latter was on the road and the Fighting Hawks are back home and after opening 0-2 here in early November, they have won six of their last eight with the two losses by seven points. 10* (814) North Dakota Fighting Hawks

This is a play on the CLEVELAND ST. VIKINGS for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Green Bay opened the season 1-5 with the one win being a non-Division I victory and it looked as though it was going to be a repeat of last season but the Phoenix rallied to win three straight games and let some life. They then dropped their first two Horizon League games but Green Bay flipped the switch again as it has gone 6-1 over its last seven games including its last five in the conference. This puts them in a tie for second place but now we are saying something we thought we never would but now we sell high. Yes, even though it is playing Cleveland St. St. which is dead last in the conference in NET Ranking and is 5-13 overall including 1-6 in the Horizon. The Vikings are coming off a 0-3 roadtrip where they are 0-9 and while the 4-3 record is rather unimpressive, the spot could not be better and with a number that is screaming Green Bay. 10* (808) Cleveland St. Vikings

This is a play on the STONY BROOK SEAWOLVES for our CBB Bounceback Baller. Hofstra got off to an uneven start at 2-3 with one win being a non-Division I victory and the other against a bad Bucknell team and then it has been game on as the Pride have won 11 of their last 12 games. They are clearly one of the biggest surprises in the CAA after being picked to finish last and while conference season is underway, they are a very suspect 4-0. The wins came over Campbell at home and Drexel by three points on the road then a big win over Towson on the road at 12:30 on a Thursday with no students and then an overtime win over Monmouth at home on Saturday. Stony Brook has been on the other end as it is 1-4 in the conference with three of the losses coming on the road as the Seawolves are 1-1 at home with the loss coming just this past Saturday against UNC Wilmington by only four points while catching a similar number. 10* (794) Stony Brook Seawolves

This is a play on the OLD DOMINION MONARCHS for our CBB Revenge Rout. Georgia Southern finally lost on Saturday which snapped a nine-game winning streak while suffering their first loss in the Sun Belt Conference after opening 4-0. The Eagles easily defeated No. 292 Georgia St. in the conference opener and then had to go to overtime to defeat James Madison and Coastal Carolina before sneaking by Old Dominion 12 days ago. Georgia Southern is a perfect 7-0 at home and laying the short number will make it very public and we go contrarian based on that and the fact that the Monarchs come in 1-10 on the following a loss at James Madison. This is a huge get right game in order to avoid a 2-5 start in the conference. It has been a tough overall start at 5-13 which includes a 2-10 run with seven of those games coming on the road and most against in-state rivals. This is the ultimate buy low/sell high scenario. 10* (791) Old Dominion Monarchs
