This is a play on the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Miami is one of four NBA teams that is still undefeated at home as it is 5-0 following a win over New Orleans on Saturday. The Heat have won three straight games and are currently in third place in the Eastern Conference with a 9-3 record. This is definitely one of the surprises in the NBA as this roster is made up of Jimmy Butler and a lot of not familiar names. This is e first time that Miami is a double-digit favorite. Cleveland has lost a season-high four straight games to fall to 4-9. Kevin Love is coming off his least productive game of the season on Sunday and then was held out on Monday, both of which can be attributed to a lower-back contusion. He will be back tonight which is important to right this ship. In the Monday loss against the Knicks, six players reached double figures in scoring which is the seventh time that has happened this season so this is a balanced team that will improve the more they play together. Here, we play against teams after leading their last three games by five or more points at the half going up against an opponent after trailing their last three games by five or more points at the half. This situation is 24-5 ATS (82.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (505) Cleveland Cavaliers

This is a play on the VANDERBILT COMMODORES for our CBB Wednesday Supreme Annihilator. Vanderbilt had one of the worst SEC seasons ever as it went 0-18 and became the first team since 1953-54 to finish winless in the conference. Head coach Bryce Drew was let go after just three seasons as a new culture was needed and Jerry Stackhouse was brought in to change the course of the program. The Commodores are off to a 2-1 start with the lone loss coming on the road in overtime by a point at Richmond. They are back home to face Austin Peay and this is a big game to get another winning streak going and regain that early season confidence. As bad as they were, four starters are back so they are not starting over. The best player on the floor belongs to the Governors in Terry Taylor, the preseason OVC Player of the Year. Other than that, it gets a little thin. Austin Peay is off to a 1-2 start as it defeated some school named Oakland City while losing to Tulsa and Western Kentucky by an average of 14.5 ppg. Here, we play on home teams as a favorite or pickem with a winning percentage between .200 and .400 from last season, first five games of the season, after closing out last season with eight or more losses in last 10 games, playing a team that had a winning record last year. This situation is 27-3 ATS (90 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (714) Vanderbilt Commodores

This is a play on the AKRON ZIPS for our CFB Wednesday Star Attraction. Akron is one of the worst teams in college football but we are backing the Zips at this ridiculous number. They are 0-10 straight up and have failed to cover any of those games but this is their first nationally televised game and they will go all out. As bad as they have been, the Zips have not gotten more than 22 points in any game and now all of a sudden they are getting over 31 points. Miami defeated Bowling Green last week to become bowl eligible while increasing its winning streak to four games. The RedHawks also clinched the MAC East title so unlike a lot of other teams in the conference, they actually have nothing to play for here so we could see a lot of rotations with players who have not played much seeing significant action. Two contrarian situations are on our side here. First, we play on teams after five or more consecutive losses against the spread going up against an opponent after one or more consecutive wins against the spread. This situation is 43-18 ATS (70.5 percent) over the last five seasons. Second, we play against favorites of 31.5 or more points off a home win, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team. This situation is 29-8 ATS (78.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (107) Akron Zips
