This is a play on the SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS for our NFL Divisional Game of the Month. Green Bay is a tough team to get in front of as it is playing well with five straight wins with the first team playing the entire game, excluding the Week 18 game against Detroit. Of the 13 wins, six were by one possession and of the seven other ones, six were against non-playoff teams, the only other came against Pittsburgh which was obviously a marginal postseason squad. The Packers have not lost at home which is a big edge but the schedule was in their favor against a weak division and facing only one other playoff team. Of the 14 playoff teams, the Packers were ranked No. 10 in net yppl on offense and on defense, they had trouble stopping the run. The overall rank looks good but teams had to abandon the run when playing from behind and according to analytics, the Packers gave up the second-highest yards per rush in the league, and DVOA grades their rush defense 28th in the NFL. San Francisco has relied on its running game of late with Eli Mitchell carrying a heavy load and having great success and then throw in Deebo Samuel, and Green Bay could be in for a long night. Jimmy Garoppolo has taken a lot of scrutiny but dig deep and he has been ranked the No. 4 ranked passer in efficiency. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points in the second half of the season off two consecutive road wins, with a winning record playing another winning team. This situation is 35-10 ATS (77.8 percent) since 1983. 10* (303) San Francisco 49ers

This is a play on the LOUISIANA TECH BULLDOGS as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. This is a big early season clash between two of the top teams in the C-USA West Division with Louisiana Tech off and running with a 6-0 start. The Bulldogs have won seven straight with the last four coming against some weak competition but three of those were on the road and they are back home where they look to protect a 10-0 record on the season where they have dominated opponents with close to a +20-point scoring differential. This offense has had one bad game over this stretch and they are ready for this challenge against a good defense. UAB has won six of its last seven games but the schedule has been in its favor with five of those coming at home where it is 12-1 compared to 2-2 on the road with poor losses against Rice and South Carolina as road favorites. The Blazers have not seen an offense like this since early December. Here, we play on home teams after three straight covers as a favorite of seven or more going up against an opponent off a no-cover where the team won straight up as a favorite. This situation is 32-8 ATS (80 percent) since 1997. 9* (692) Louisiana Tech Bulldogs

This is a play on the ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS for our SEC Game of the Month. Arkansas has won three straight games to move to 3-3 in the SEC after a 0-3 start and while two of those wins came against poor teams, a win at LSU cannot be discounted. The Razorbacks are 10-1 at home with the one loss coming against Vanderbilt by a point in a game they should have easily won. The momentum is on their side now and they are catching a good spot with a good number to keep rolling along. They are ranked No. 29 in the country in scoring offense and have a huge edge if it gets close. Texas A&M had won eight straight games until a home loss against Kentucky on Wednesday. The Aggies only road wins over this stretch came against two of the worst teams in the SEC and the one huge disadvantage is that they are shooting only 62.9 percent from the free throw line which is No. 349 in the country. Here, we play against road teams as an underdog or pickem that are averaging between 74 and 78 ppg going up against teams allowing between 67 and 74 ppg, after three straight games where both teams scored 70 points or less. This situation is 28-4 ATS (87.5 percent) since 1997. 10* (796) Arkansas Razorbacks

This is a play on the NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. Wake Forest has won two straight games, both on the road, and four of its last five games to move into a sixth place tie in the ACC, trailing first place Miami by a game and a half. The Demon Deacons are 10-1 at home with the loss coming against Duke by 12 points and while a home win over Florida St. was a quality win, that has been it and its overall schedule is the third easiest in the ACC. They do have a solid offense but perimeter shooting is an issue as they are ranked No. 249 in shooting from beyond the arc. North Carolina had won four of five games but got lambasted at Miami on Tuesday by 28 points so this is a bounce back spot to start a run with three straight home games upcoming. The Tar Heels offense is on pace to get it done. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 after beating the spread by 30 or more points total in their last five games going up against an opponent after going under the total by more than six points in three consecutive games. This situation is 27-7 ATS (79.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (783) North Carolina Tar Heels

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. We played against Iowa on Wednesday and despite allowing 48 points, the Hawkeyes lost by putting up only 46 points after scoring 83 and 81 points in their previous two games. They are back home where they are 10-1 on the season with the only loss coming against 6-1 Illinois and Iowa needs a big win after falling to 5-4 in the conference which is a tie for eighth place. They are outscoring opponents by nearly 23 ppg at home and their offense is still ranked No. 5 in the country even after that dismal performance. Penn St. is on a 3-2 run to match the same conference record as the Hawkeyes and it has covered all five of those games but runs into a brutal spot here. They are just 1-3 on the road with the only win coming against 2-5 Northwestern. Here, we play on home teams in the second half of the season that are shooting between 45 and 47.5 percent going up against teams allowing between 40 and 42.5 percent, after a game allowing a shooting percentage of 33 percent or less. This situation is 141-86 ATS (62.1 percent) since 1997. 9* (728) Iowa Hawkeyes
