This is a play on the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. Toronto is coming off a win over Brooklyn on Sunday which was its seventh straight victory to improve to 12-5, putting the Raptors in the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference early on in the season. One of the wins came at Cleveland, the second time Toronto has won against the Cavaliers on the road. RJ Barrett had 16 points when he left Sunday in the third quarter with a right knee sprain and did not return. He is scheduled to have imaging done on Monday and will likely sit this one out. Cleveland is coming off a 120-105 home win over the Clippers on Sunday to make it two straight wins while also winning four of their last five games. The Cavaliers are a half-game behind Toronto and they can leapfrog the Raptors with a victory. Here, we play against teams off a win against a division rival and now playing their 3rd game in four nights. This situation is 147-80 ATS (64.8 percent) since 2022. 10* (503) Cleveland Cavaliers

This is a play on the OHIO BOBCATS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. George Mason finished in a tie for first place in the Atlantic Ten Conference with VCU at 15-3 and made the NIT before b owing out in the second round. The Patriots are not expected to be as strong and their best players is still lout and while they are 5-0 to start this season, they have not been tested as their best win was against Winthrop by six points and all five games being played at home. This is the sell high spot for their first trip outside Fairfax. Ohio has been on the opposite end of things as it is 1-4 with two of the losses coming by seven combined points and the other two coming at Louisville and St. Marys and while those were blowouts, the Bobcats are battle tested. Ohio will contend in the MAC as a projected top four team. 10* (880) Ohio Bobcats

This is a play on the ARIZONA ST. SUN DEVILS for our CBB Late Powerhouse. Texas opened the season with a 15-point loss against Duke but has not been tested since then, facing four teams where the Longhorns were favored between 25 and 315 points. Even with a game against Duke, Texas has the third easiest schedule in the nation which has skewed its numbers and one category not skewed is free throw shooting with the Longhorns No. 308, hitting just 65.5 percent. The Sun Devils have the travel edge as they have been acclimated for a while as Arizona St. began its Thanksgiving week stretch on the islands last Thursday with an 83-76 win at the University of Hawaii. They are also 4-1 with the lone loss coming against Gonzaga by 12 points and this will be a best but the number is too big on a neutral floor. 10* (877) Arizona St. Sun Devils

This is a play on the COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON COUGARS for our CBB Early Enforcer. It has been a slow start for College of Charleston as it is 3-4 following a loss to Yale which knocked it our of the Championship game with the Bulldogs playing Akron for the title. This will be the Cougars fifth game away from home as they also had a pair of blowout losses at Liberty and against Florida Atlantic the next night. They have the edge here and want to get out of the Virgin Islands with a winning record before resuming nonconference play next week gearing up for Coastal play, a conference they are picked to win. Evansville got annihilated by Akron on Sunday by 38 points after pulling off the moderate upset of Oregon St. as a six-point underdog. 10* (849) College of Charleston Cougars

This is a play on the NC STATE WOLFPACK for our CBB Early Annihilator. Seton Hall and NC State are the first tip off in the Maui Invitational with the Wolfpack laying a big number and for good reason. The Pirates are off to a 5-0 start but it is a mirage as they are the worst team in the Big East Conference but have had the advantage of playing the second easiest schedule in the country. Their best win is maybe St. Peters since that was the lowest line they were laying with was -13.5. NC State looks to contend in the ACC once again after falling off badly last season with 12 wins and completely missing the ACC Tournament. New head coach Will Wade has gotten them off to a 4-0 start and are the favorites to win this tournament at +160, just ahead of +200 Texas. 10* (872) NC State Wolfpack

This is a play on the CAROLINA PANTHERS for our NFL Monday Primetime. The 49ers are coming off a win over Arizona to improve to 7-4 which has them in third place in the NFC West, two games behind the first place Rams. As of right now, San Francisco would have the final Wild Card spot in the NFC as it owns the tiebreaker against Detroit. The offense, namely Christian McCaffrey, has carried the 49ers as the banged up defense remains the issue as San Francisco is No. 25 in Defensive EPA. Going back, San Francisco has had trouble stringing positive games together as it is 1-9 ATS after a spread win, 0-6 ATS in its last six games coming off a double-digit road win, 0-7 ATS in its last seven games after scoring 30 points or more and 1-11 ATS in its last 12 games following a straight up win. Carolina has won five of its last seven games including an overtime win at Atlanta last week and the Panthers are right in the playoff mix. They are a game behind San Francisco and Detroit with this being the first of two straight games against the NFC West with the Rams on deck. 10* (265) Carolina Panthers

This is a play on the WASHINGTON ST. COUGARS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. Washington St. is coming off a scare in the first round of the Maui Invitational as it trailed Chaminade by 11 points at halftime but rallied with a 49-33 second half advantage to pull out the win and advance. Clearly, they did not take their non-Division I opponent serious and that is going to help the Cougars here, in focus and in the line as they are going to be getting value with no one betting on them. This is a new roster for the most part that continues to shoot well as Washington St. finished No. 3 in Two-Point Shooting Percentage last season at 58.3 percent and they are over 60 percent this season. The Cougars opened 0-2 but have now won three of four, losing only to rival Washington. Arizona St. came through last night with an outright win over Texas and will not be overvalued. The Sun Devils had the travel edge last night as mentioned but now it is evened out and catch Washington St. at a bad time to win by a big margin. 10* (687) Washington St. Cougars

This is a play on the KANSAS JAYHAWKS for our CBB Star Attraction. The Players ERA Championship Second Round is Tuesday and this foolish system of which teams play for the championship will be determined today. Six undefeated teams square off which means three of those are guaranteed to be in the championship pool because they will be 2-0 with three others, Iowa St., Kansas and Baylor, having a shot at 2-0. Those 2-0 teams are ranked based on their scoring differentials with Michigan +40 and Tennessee +25 looking the best but they have tough matchups. Kansas will be one of the early plays as they won by 10 so it will likely need a double-digit win and some help from Houston, Auburn and Maryland to help get in the top two in scoring differential. They have a great matchup facing Syracuse which was a shot at the buzzer away from beating Houston but lost in overtime and the Orange are a deflated bunch and will be extremely flat. 10* (665) Kansas Jayhawks

This is a play on the MONTANA GRIZZLIES for our CBB Signature Enforcer. This is one of those obscure three-team tournaments with Montana hosting Lamar and Oakland. It tipped off on Sunday the Grizzlies losing on their home floor by five points as the Cardinals were able to attempt 73 field goals compared to just 52 for Montana and Montana shooting just 35 percent while getting outscored 7-0 to end the game. Inside Dahlberg Arena, Montana had won 10 straight games dating back to last year before the Lamar loss and is 31-5 over the past three seasons, the 29th best winning percentage in all of college basketball. Oakland meanwhile defeated Lamar by 15 points which was last night so the home team has the rest edge and laying a short number. The Golden Grizzlies have been tested to their credit as they opened the season with games against Michigan, Purdue and Houston which gives them the schedule edge but this is not the spot to win again in a second straight night. 10* (642) Montana Grizzlies

This is a play on the CENTRAL FLORIDA KNIGHTS for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. Central Florida is 5-1 with the lone loss coming against Vanderbilt in the second game of the season but the Knights have bounced back with four wins since them including an impressive road win at Texas A&M by 12 points. This is a team that came in with unknowns as it was picked last in the Big 12 Conference as it had only one returning player, a redshirt junior walk-on, and head coach Johnny Dawkins knew he had to keep it simple and the Knights have flourished in his system as they are No. 24 in Offensive Effective Field Goal Percentage and are No. 3 in the country in Three-Point Shooting Percentage. There is a common opponent very recent as Central Florida defeated Pittsburgh by 10 points at home while Quinnipiac beat the Panthers by eight points in Pittsburgh and that could point to the Bobcats but that road game was just two nights so this is a tough travel and letdown spot. 10* (626) Central Florida Knights
