Saturday
Kansas State -11 (push)
K State will be in a nasty mood today after blowing a 14 point lead at Iowa State. This is a must win situation for the Wildcats and they face a team that is decimated by injuries. The deep Wildcats should eventually wear down the offensively-pedestrian, thinning Aggies, who've mustered a paltry 55 ppg away from College Station. With K State averaging 73ppg at home this year and A&M averaging only 55ppg away we will gladly lay the number.
Miss +11 (WINNER)
Alabama can't hit the three pointer and Ole Miss has the inside players to crash the boards and keep this game close. Ole Miss stands a +9 rebounds per game in SEC play where they play very tough and gritty which makes the former Rebels a very good dog. Memphis transfer 6-6 frosh G Jelan Kendrick (season-high 11 pts. vs. South Carolina Jan. 28) gaining confidence on the attack, so look for the Tide to be in a 40-minute tussle. Take Ole Miss plus the big points.
Vandy +6 (loss)
Wizards +8 (loss)
Friday
Nets +5 (WINNER)
The Nets started the year with a very hard schedule and now play several home games in Febuary. The Nets are on an uptick after starting 5-13 they are 3-2 the last 5 games. PG Deron Williams has scored 29ppg and shot 50% in leading the Nets. The TWolves struggle when Rubio is outplayed which should happen here again tonight. NEW JERSEY is 13-4 ATS (+8.6 Units) in home games in non-conference games over the last 2 seasons while MINNESOTA is 12-26 ATS (-16.6 Units) after a non-conference game over the last 2 seasons. Take the home dog Nets.
Thursday
New York Knicks +4... Inner Circle Lock (WINNER
Denver/UCLA OVER ..NBA/NCAA Parlay (WINNER)
Denver +2 (WINNER)
Denver comes in tonight knowing they are one of the best road teams in the NBA winning on the road by a score of 105-99 or +6ppg on the road. Denver's best point spread value is on the road also as they stand 8-2 ats including 4-1 ats as a road dog. The Nuggets should have payback in mind after blowing a late lead Sunday in their loss to the Clippers. A concern we see backing the Clippers is the fact they shoot only 66% from the free throw line, thus making crunch time a gamble. LA CLIPPERS are 26-43 ATS (-21.3 Units) second half of the season over the last 3 seasons while DENVER is 26-12 ATS (+12.8 Units) second half of the season over the last 2 seasons. DENVER is also a moneymaking 28-15 ATS (+11.5 Units) as an underdog over the last 2 seasons. LA CLIPPERS are only 25-46 ATS (-25.6 Units) after 3 or more consecutive wins. Take the revenge minded Nuggets.
Wash/UCLA OVER 139.5 (WINNER)
Ucla leaves it's defense at home when they go on the road where they allow 10ppg more per contest. UCLA's average away total score is 142 points. Washington scores nicely at home wnere they average 80ppg and allow 70ppg for a total of 150ppg. When you add these totals up you get an average of 146ppg for a nice 6.5 points spread beater on tonights line. Take the OVER
Wednesday
George Wash/Detroit ..NBA/NCAA Parlay (WINNER)
George Wash +6 (WINNER)
Xavier has been a pure money burner this season where they have covered only 3 of 13 and stand 0-7 ats away from home since the Brawl. Despite these numbers the public still loves "X" as they are laying up to 95% of the money against GW.
GWU looking a little more menacing on attack the past couple of weeks since 6-8 Serbian soph Nemanja Mikic has re-emerged as solid third scoring option behind Gs Tony Taylor and Lasan Kromah, canning 12 of 22 triples (55%) the last four games. GWU has covered three in a row at home vs A-10 foes as of late. Take GWU plus the points
Detroit +7 (WINNER)
New jersey is playing in a back to back situation tonight short handed due to injuries. The Nets have been bad money on the 2nd of back to back nights as they have dropped 5 of 7 when unrested. Piston center Greg Monroe is a workhorse who can exploit weaker opposing pivots, and the Nets' might be without Mehmet Okur (back spasms) and be forced to play Shelden Williams and Johan Petro in the pivot. Monroe is tallying 16 ppg & 10 rpg in January, and G Rodney Stuckey has chipped in 16 ppg in his last 5. Can't lay points with a tired favorite with injuries.
SMU+4.5 (loss)
Tuesday
Memphis/Penn State ...NBA/NCAA Parlay (WINNER)
Memphis/Denver OVER 202 (WINNER)
Last night memphis was stiffled at home which does not happen often so we look for huge bounce back game. When Memphis meets the Nuggets they have played over 6 of the last 7 meetings. Denver has actually scored better on the road this season averging 105ppg while memphis scores 106ppg at home. Denver has shot a blistering 48% from the field and have played over 12 of 20 games this season. Take the OVER
Penn State +9.5 (WINNER)
Penn State catches Wisconsin in a classic sandwhich game off a win over Indiana and Ohio State on deck. The Lions have already upset Illinios and Purdue at home in January so we are very inclined to take double digits with this scrapy bunch. PSU’s outstanding 6-1 jr. G tim Frazier (17 ppg) getting more help from late-blooming 6-5 sr. G Cammeron Woodyard (14 ppg last 4 games) to give PSU a very nice guard combo. Take the big points in a low scoring game. Wisconsin's average road win is by 6 points. This will be PSU first home game since the death of Paterno
.
Iowa State +27.5
The rested Cyclones (5-2 as home dogs with rest) already own three SU dog wins this season. Head Coach Mike Gundy admits the pressure is beginning to build on a team that is not used to the Limelight and undefeated status this late in the year.
No way we lay this many points on the road with Oklahoma loming big in the minds of OSU, who no longer need style points just wins. OSU has been a big wallet buster when playing their last road game of the Year cashing the spread only once in the last 8 years. While we expect the Cowboys to do enough to win, we dont see them risking injuries nor have full atention to this Friday Night road game. Take Iowa State plus the huge number.Iowa State +27.5
