The Houston Rockets are just 4-9 S/U and ATS here on the season. The Rockets have lost three straight games and five of their last six overall. They have also covered just once in their last five games. They have also gone under in four of the last five. The Detroit Pistons are 3-11 S/U and 7-6-1 ATS on the season. The Pistons are also 2-5 S/U and 4-3 ATS at home along with going under in five of their seven home games. I'm looking at the under here tonight. The Rockets are 5-15-1 O/U/P in their last 21 overall. This series has gone under in five of the last seven meetings. I look for this game to go UNDER.

The Edmonton Oilers are 2-3 on the season after beating the Leafs in game one of this series on Wednesday, 3-1. Most teams will play one another eight times this season and only in division. That can mean as many as four times in a row they will meet, something we haven't seen since the playoffs. The Maple Leafs saw their two-game win streak come to an end with that loss to the Oilers on Wednesday. They are now 3-2 on the season. Have to expect the Leafs to bounce back with a home win here tonight. This is a short price for a home favorite and I like Toronto here this evening.

The Illinois Chicago Flames are 7-4 S/U and 6-4-1 ATS on the season. The Flames have won two straight games, both over Robert Morris and covered both those contests. The Flames begin what will be the 1st of a back-to-back spot at Youngstown State tonight. The Youngstown State Penguins have dropped to 7-7 S/U and 3-7-1 ATS on the season after losing three straight games both S/U and ATS. After gaining a win at Wright State, 74-72, they lost the next one to Wright by 38 points and then dropped both road games at Oakland. Illinois Chicago is a good road team, going 9-4-1 ATS in their last 15 away games. Laying just about 1-point here tonight I'll be on Illinois Chicago.

The Nevada Wolf Pack are 9-5 S/U and 7-6 ATS on the season. The Pack have won two straight games, both over Fresno State and covered both those games. The rebounded from a pair of losses to San Diego State. Now they will play two at Wyoming. The Wyoming Cowboys are 8-5 S/U and 5-8 ATS on the season. The Cowboys are 4-3 S/U and 2-5 ATS at home They snapped a four game losing streak with a win at Air Force last time out, 77-58. Wyoming does well as a dog, evidenced by their 10-3 ATS record their last 13 games. The dog has covered seven of the last eight in this series and that's who I will be on here tonight. Play Wyoming.

Sun Belt action here on Saturday has 5-7 Arkansas State taking on 10-4 UL Lafayette. These teams are playing the 2nd of their back-to-back series with Lafayette taking the first game, 81-68 as a 9-point favorite. It was the Indians third loss in their last five games. Moreover, the Indians are now 0-6 S/U and 0-5-1 ATS on the road. Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns improved to 10-4 S/U and 5-5-2 ATS with that win. They are 8-2 S/U and 4-2-2 ATS at home this season. The favorite has covered four of the last five in this series and I don't see that changing here today. Arkansas State will still be looking for that first win on the road when this one is done. Play UL Lafayette.

The Auburn Tigers are 8-7 S/U and 7-7-1 ATS on the season. They saw their two-game win streak snapped last time out at Arkansas, 73-75, but covered the 5.5-point dog line. It was the team's fourth cover in a row. The South Carolina Gamecocks are 3-4 S/U and ATS on the season. The Gamecocks have played just three games in January and lost two of those. They are also 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Auburn a small dog here today where the dog has covered 17 of the last 24 in this series. I'll take the Tigers in this one. Play Auburn.

The Clemson Tigers look to snap a two-game losing streak. The Tigers are 9-3 S/U and 7-5 ATS on the season. The are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games. They are also 1-2 S/U and 0-3 ATS in their three road games this year. Florida State Seminoles are 8-2 S/U and 6-4 ATS this season. The Seminoles have won three straight games both S/U and ATS. That includes a win at Louisville, 78-65 and a home win over North Carolina, 82-75. Now they will host Clemson. The home team has covered five of the last six in this series and that's what I'm looking at here on Saturday. Play Florida State.

Aston Villa plays just its second game after a long layoff. Aston is coming off a win in their first game back. Now they get to polay a Newcastle United team that has struggled to score goals. Aston took both games from Newcastle last season. Newcastle could face delegation if this drought continues and that means HC Steve Bruce might be in trouble soon. Newcastle has lost four straight games since mid-Decmeber. In addition they have just one goal over their last 650 minutes of action. Don't expect many goals in this game, but I'll be backing the home team here today. Take Aston Villa.
