Free Analysis: NBA Boston vs Phoenix

  I post free analysis almost every day during basketball season on anywhere from 1 to 5 games and those opinions have been profitable over the years.

  My Thursday opinion on St. Mary's -8 won by just 7. This continues to be a strange year for my Free Analysis, which usually wins at a profitable rate. I'm 12-15 on my Free Best Bets and 36-55-4 on my free opinions this season.

I was 49-38-1 on my Free Best Bets and 548-487-19 on my free opinions the previous 5 seasons.

Boston (-2) over PHOENIX
Rotation #819 – 6:05 pm Pacific
Boston has started this road trip with consecutive losses at Denver and at the Lakers but the Celtics qualify in a very good 82-25-2 ATS road bounce-back situation tonight. Boston is also 10-5-1 ATS this season without the overrated Rajon Rondo, including 8-3 ATS since he was deemed lost for the season. My issue here is that my ratings favor Boston by just ½ a point and the line opened at -1 and has gone up. I’ll lean with the Celtics at -2 or less and I’d take Boston in a 2-Star Best Bet at -1 or better.

Free Analysis Basketball: Pennsylvania v Harvard

Friday College Best Bet:
Every Friday I post my a free analysis. With the foot ball season over, I've turned my attention to Basketball. My basketball analyses will be posted shortly before the game.

  Harvard has a tendency to play down to the level of competition they are challenged with. Which is a pattern the Crimson have time and time again established in the recent years under Tommy Amaker as coach. They have done very well when playing more challenging teams. The Crimson are just 27-49-1 ATS in Ivy League games under Amaker, including 10 straight spread losses (0-6 ATS this season). The only time Amaker's club seems to get up for their Ivy opponents is in same season revenge games (8-6-1 ATS), but the Crimson are just 19-43 ATS in league play when they don't have the revenge motive and their upset loss to Columbia last Saturday sets Harvard up in a negative 20- 93-2 ATS situation today. My ratings favor Harvard by 11 1/2 points, so the line is fair, and Penn has actually played at a slightly higher level without Fran Dougherty, who has missed 10 games and is now out for the season. I'll take Penn in a 2-Star Best Bet at +10 points or more and for 3-Stars at +12 or more.

Free Analysis: Illinois v Indiana & Texas San Antonio v Louisiana Tech

    Now that the football season is over, I will be solely focusing on Basketball! I post free analysis almost every day during basketball season on anywhere from 1 to 5 games and those opinions have been profitable over the years. Last Wednesday my opinion had Indiana State +5 over Creighton, and I won straight up. I'm 10-13 on my Free Best Bets and 32-45-3 on my free opinions this season. I was 49-38-1 on my Free Best Bets and 548-487-19 on my free opinions the previous 5 seasons. I’m looking forward to the rest of the season, and I hope you tune in for my sports betting advice! Below are my Thursday College Opinions, which are part of my free analysis.

Thursday College Opinions

ILLINOIS (+7) over Indiana
Rotation #510 – 4 pm Pacific
Illinois started the season with 12 straight wins, including victories over Butler and Gonzaga, but the Illini are just 3-8 since then. However, Illinois does apply to a 36-7 ATS subset of a 105-46-1 ATS home underdog situation tonight, so they could keep this one close. The issue is a lack of line value, as Indiana started opened as an 8 point favorite and my ratings also favor the Hoosiers by 8 points. The situations are working even when there seems to be negative line value, so I’ll still lean with Illinois plus the points.

Texas San Antonio (+14) over LOUISIANA TECH
Rotation #527 – 5 pm Pacific
Louisiana Tech is riding a long winning streak but the Bulldogs apply to a very negative 28-96-1 ATS big home favorite letdown situation tonight. UTSA, meanwhile, applies to a 112-56-3 ATS road dog bounce-back situation that is based on their two recent home losses. Unfortunately, my ratings favor Louisiana Tech by 15 ½ points and I’m not willing to give up the line value to make this a Best Bet. But, I’ll lean with UTSA plus the points.
