Tipsheet mania from OffshoreInsiders
The margin-of-cover standings have some clear-cut undervalued and overvalued teams. The top sports betting service in the world has another Wise Guy winner and today’s NBA schedule features some rested versus unrested matchups including one of the NBATV games.
Now to the NBA rest report:
Pacers vs. Cavaliers
Cleveland is playing their third game in four nights.
Hornets vs. Thunder
New Orleans is playing their third game in four nights, fourth in five nights and playing back-to-back nights.
Blazers vs. Nuggets
Portland is playing back-to-back nights while Denver is playing their third game in four nights.
Rockets vs. Jazz
Houston is playing back-to-back nights, while Utah is playing their third game in four nights.
Here is a Margin of Cover (MOC) breakdown for NCAA basketball. Renamed “sweat meter” in Chad Millman of ESPN’s column, MOC is similar to scoring margin, but it is measured by how much a team covers or fails to cover the point spread.
Many sports handicappers believe MOC is invaluable in isolating under and overvalued teams.
At 11-2-1 against the spread, Duquesne has the best MOC in the nation at (+7.5). The Longhorns of Texas have been kind to bettors at 14-3 to the number and a (+6.9) MOC.
The only other team with at least 10 lined games and a MOC of 5.0 or better is Connecticut, which has exactly a (+5.0) margin at 10-4 in the back pocket.
Texas Tech has the worst MOC at (-5.6) and a terrible 5-13 record according to the sportsbooks. With a 5-9 point spread record, Central Florida is second worst with a (-5.4) deficit.
No other regular rotation team has a negative 5.0 or worse, but Ohio at (-4.8) and Michigan State at (-4.7) are next on the Vegas shame list.
Top expert pick on tonight’s card: The greatest just keeps winning. A push on Florida, but a huge moneyline winner on Portland (+186) on the moneyline wins for GodsTips. That’s 57-34 overall, which includes several moneyline underdogs.
Now get six winners including yet another Wise Guy as Wise Guy plays from GodsTips are widely accepted by virtually every bookmaker, Vegas runner, pro bettor, Vegas insider, oddsmaker, and fellow handicappers alike as the strongest pick in sports gambling.

OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper Matt Rivers has a sports pick Wednesday on George Washington (+16) at Duquesne.
Reasoning: I will give this Duquesne team a ton of credit for being completely dominant of late, as they have blown up in a great way. The Dukes are legit and probably deserve a top 25 ranking and as of right now are an at-large tournament team. They're 15-5 overall and a perfect 7-0 in the A-10. Bill Clark, Damien Saunders and the rest of the Dukes have been smacking around all comers of late and should be an extremely confident team. Tonight at home they will improve to 8-0 in conference but at some point this somewhat overachieving run will have to come to an end.
Duquesne is not really 10 straight win good or beating Temple easily good, which they did, and right now are a tad overvalued because of this recent run. George Washington is extremely mediocre and not the team that can go on the road and win in a spot such as this one but the Colonials have been very good defensively and have been playing games in the 50's and 60's on a regular basis. I don't expect that here but if they can only allow about 20 points more than normal, which is a ton, and keep the Dukes in possibly the 70's I don't see why the visitors can't stay within single digits, no less this gaudy number.
GW has allowed 46, 81, 62, 68, 67, 52, 71, 67, 50 and 57 over the past few weeks. I'm not saying these guys are a lockdown team that is great but Karl Hobbs has been preaching the d and if they can even do a little bit of defending today then this low post is going to prove to be way too large.
It will be a 78-68 final!
