An extremely small card tonight, with not a lot taking place in the sports betting world. The only line movement has taken place on totals, where the total in the New Orleans game has dropped 2.5 points to 195.5 and the total in the Utah game has dropped four points to 200.

For the colleges, the Kansas total has climbed two points to 146.5 and the San Francisco total has dropped two points to 150.5.

Public plays are St. Mary's, Weber State, and the Hornets.

There isn't much to report in the way of sports services, as some are passing for the day.

When it comes to updating my record, there's nothing I hate more than games like UCLA vs. Arizona. The total opened at 132 and quickly went to 133.5, where it stayed for much of Sunday, until climbing late to 134, with a few 134.5's out there and one book even having it at 135 right before tip-off.

So while many of us won with the over 133.5, there were others who pushed if they bet over 134 and those who waited late, or just use one sportsbook, may have lost if they went over 134.5.

For record-keeping purposes, I'll consider it a push, using the closing line from scoresandodds.com, which is what I do when games are close to the number. Naturally, sports services will claim a win on the game no matter which side they released, something that is commonplace in the industry.

Monday's two plays are up and you can find them at Free Sports Betting Picks in the Sports Gambling 101 section of the site.
