Wise Guy plays are your maximum play. Majors are .75 of Wise Guy plays. We always urge line shopping to compliment the sharpest plays in the world and release plays as early as possible to ensure more success. Often our plays are released before most sportsbooks have lines up. If we released plays later in the day, it would allow us to shop for better lines than we are able to post. But we are more concerned about YOU being able to shop for better lines.
Be aware that in many cases better lines will be available than the ones we post. Game of the Year and Game of the Month plays still involve the same straight betting as above. While we believe all gamblers need only bet our plays we realize some pick and choose selections. Said distinction is for such ala carte players. All units won quoted on systems are based on one unit per bet.

Wise Guy…
LOUISIANA TECH -7 San Jose State
For the past three games, SJSU has been without their leading scorer James Kinney who leads the conference with 20.6 points per game. The first game, they were able to rally around adversity—sort of. They covered in a loss. But the two games since they were blown out by 36 and 17.
They miss him because their new No. 1 option averages about half as many points. LA Tech counters the depleted Spartans offensive attack with the highest scoring offense in the WAC, averaging 73.5 points per game.
Major…
PEPPERDINE +5 Loyola Marymount
Loyola is struggling without their best player Chase Flint. They are 1-4 ATS without him including three straight spread losses.
Due to the Lions’ short bench, players have been asked to step-in for the Lions. Alex Osborne has made 10 starts since filling in for Godwin Okonji when he had his emergency surgery. He is averaging 4.2 points and 4.5 rebounds while ranking 13th in the league in steals with 25 (1.32 spg). Bruce English earned his fifth start of his career against USF and his best game as a Lions, going for career-best with 12 points and eight rebounds. He is averaging 5.8 ppg and 1.5 rpg. Walk-on Taylor Walker has provided big minutes at the point for the Lions.
Pepperdine enters this game much more rested and will pull the mild upset against a Marymount team that is headed in the wrong direction for sure.
OAKLAND -13 iupui
It is as close as Oakland will have to a break in the schedule. It is just Oakland’s fifth home game, but third in a row. IUPUI has been decimated by injuries, leaving just seven healthy scholarship players at his disposal. All three freshmen are sitting out the season and expected to redshirt while top returning scorer Ian Chiles is shelved for the year due to injury. Like Chiles, sophomore swingman Marcellus Barksdale is lost for the year with an injury and the road got even tougher in early January when John Hart was declared ineligible at the start of the spring semester.
Oakland won the first meeting between the two schools, 84-62 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Dec. 29. Now they have a rare home game laying just 13.
PURDUE +16 Michigan
This is a competitor consensus. If we have a lean one way and one of the few sports services or sources we respect has a big pick on a certain side, we pass along as a competitor consensus.
