Posted Nov 2, 2026
Hello everyone and WELCOME to the 2026 College Hoops season!! This year marks my 23rd season of handicapping College Hoops on Nelly’s Sportsline and I am so grateful and blessed to be able to be here for another year. I haven’t had a losing season since 2017 and my run in CBB is now up to 704-659/+114 since 2/28/19 after last year’s +20! That includes successfully navigating shortened seasons and odd schedules during the pandemic AND the ever-shifting roster landscape that NIL has brought to the table! I can’t wait to tip off another big season…..let’s get after it and have more fun again this year!
This year’s season tips on Monday, November 2nd and we will not look back! From that day until Championship Monday in April, the Big E will have at least one 10* play for college hoops EVERY DAY a game is played! Every single day, the B.E.S.T. will release a 10* Biggie play on the hottest play of the day, and, like my football packages, every month I’ll have a 15* Game of the Month! I will also have 20* Conference Games of the Year scattered throughout the season along with my 25* Games of the Year designated for my very BEST regular season and Tournament plays of the season!
As I’ve mentioned previously, I’ve moved to a more industry standard +/- EV unit-based scoring system as opposed to defaulting to a -110 juice for every play. The reality of the sports wagering world today is both lines and juice vary from state to state and book to book, so using a flat 10% is more inaccurate than not estimating juice at all. All of that said, rest assured, my “star method” won’t change. I’ll still (always) have my traditional 10, 15, 20, and 25* Biggies. The change will be adding a real layer of value in association. For example, a 10* play is a 1-unit bet for a player, a 15* play is a 2-unit bet, a 20* is a 3-unit bet, and a 25* GOY is a 5-unit play. This allows players to define their own units….it could be $10, $100, or $1,000, depending on their bankroll, with the juice implied. A win on a 10* play is +1, a loss would be -1, etc. This allows us all to speak a common language with a common measurement of success. As always, questions and feedback always welcome!
Highlights from the last few years include:
- 25* plays are on a 5-3 run the last 4 years
- 20* Conf GOYs were 26-11 LY, 118-86 the last 7 years
- 20* AAC GOYs are on a 9-3 run
- 20* ACC GOYs are on a 6-3 run
- 20* Big East GOYs are on a 3-1 run
- 20* Big Sky GOYs are on a 5-1 run and 11-6 ALL TIME
- 20* Horizon GOYs are 13-6 ALL TIME
- 20* Ivy GOYs are on an 11-5 run
- 20* Metro GOYs are on a 9-1 run and are 13-6 ALL TIME
- 20* MEAC GOYs are on a 3-0 run
- 20* MVC GOYs are on a 7-2 run
- 20* MW GOYs are on a 6-3 run
- 20* SEC GOYs are on an 8-2 run and are 13-5 ALL TIME
- 20* Sun Belt GOYs are on a 6-3 run and are 11-6 ALL TIME
- 15* GOMs are 18-9 the last 5 years
Let’s take you through a typical week with the Big E. In the TV-dominated world of “all sports, all the time”, 10* Biggies can and will happen any day! Every week, the Big E will have 10* Biggie plays every day there’s a game! These plays are available individually for $9.94 and again, these are GUARANTEED plays, so you only pay if I give you a winner. Clients should ALWAYS be on the lookout for Big E’s promotional Biggies….every month, there is a 15* Game of the Month for $15.94. Games that really stand out can bring a 20* Conference GOY for $20.94. Finally, the top Regular Season and the top NCAA Tourney games of the year will spawn 25* GOY PLAYS for $49.94!
Did someone say packages? The Big E’s got ’em….big ones, too! Catering to the weekly or situational player, the B.E.S.T. will have weekly, monthly, and various promotional packages throughout the year! Just check out www.nellysports.com regularly to see what the Big E is cooking up at any given time. And, if you are someone like me who shops at CostCo and buys things in bulk for cheap, you are amongst friends!
