NBA:
BUCKS +4.5
Denver has lost their past 4 by an average of 23 points per game. They are a absolutely horrible on the road this year, and with a doubtful Ty Lawson, this team is pretty poor. Now I know that the Bucks are terrible, but with their core players back, and their rookie knight at guard playing well, I'm going to take the bucks to win back to back games (or atleast cover) for the first time this season.
HEAT ML
Guess who's back and healthy for the first time in months? Dwayne Wade. Dwayne Wade is a game changer for the Heat. He completely opens the floor for their offense. Not only that, the 2X defending champs were embarrassed by the Thunder last time on National Television in Miami. It's payback time, and I have more faith in Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, and Mario Chalmbers than I do in Kevin Durant and....Kevin Durant.
ROCKETS -1
Difference in this game, no andrew bogut. Dwight Howard will dominate the boards all game long and you'll see 20 + hook shots down low. The over seems good, but with both teams playing on back to backs, i'm stayin with just the rockets in this one. I really like this Rockets team, and if they can add rondo, I think they can make some serious noise in the west. They will beat the Warriors tonight.
NCAA:
PSU +6
This line opened at +6 and has seen it's time at +5.5 for most of the afternoon but yet over 70% are on the Cornhuskers??? How is this possible? Well, it's because the wise guys with the dough have been poundin the Nittany Lions. I'll take the Lions to keep this one close and lose by 2 or 3.
Purdue + 6
Ok everyone you can pick up your jaws. Yes I know Michigan State has been great on the road, yes I know purdue has been awful ATS. BUT! What have you done for me lately? Purdue coming off a complete spanking of Indiana at home and also an impressive win over the Gophers. Oh and btw they are an impressive 12-2 at home this year! Michigan State? Well, they've lost 3 of their last 5. They're not clicking right now, and you know Purdue is salivating for this opportunity on national television in their house. Oh and BTW Michigan State's next game? MICHIGAN...
UCONN TEMP OVER 146
U-conn has been firing on all cylinders. Their guards are flying up the court and oh yeah, in 8 of their last 10 games they have scored over 75 points, and 7 of their last 10 over 80. (they game they didnt was against Cinci's powerhouse defense) I think the rims over there in temple are larger than anywhere else too because 14 of the last 19 games in Temple have gone over.
Towson +1
This line is blowing my mind. How is towson getting a point at Northeastern. Towson, who's about to take 2nd in their conference or possibly first going up against 9-18 North-eastern. I've been wrapping my brain around this all day. There is no such thing as gifts from vegas so i'm starting to think that maybe Towson was out with hookers all night last night before tonights game??? Tell ya what, I see a focused Towson squad coming off that win against deleware. I'm takin Towson and i'll go down with the ship.
Eastern Michigan Northern Illinois UNDER 113
Folks, I've watched Eastern Michigan and Northern Illinois for most of this season, I would be a unit on the under if it was set at 100. This game will be in the 40's...if one team gets over 50 i'll be very surprised.
Lastly North Carolina TAR HEELS +1.5 and OVER 149.5
Listen, the tar heels are hot and you don't have to worry about them showing up for this game, it's their circled game every year. Duke is hot too, and it's really hard to pick side, normally i'd stay away, but HEY ITS DUKE NC!!!!!! I'M TAKIN THE HEELS AT HOME. And yes I know the past 8 out of 10 have gone under the total, but these two teams have no inside presence whatsoever this will be a bunch of guards out in transition drainin 3's and throwin alley oops. There will be offensive fireworks and MAN i can't wait for this game!
BOL ALL
