Cajun Sports CBB 2* Complimentary Selection- Wednesday
TIME: 8:30 PM EST. Wednesday February 4
GAME: Minnesota Gophers vs. Michigan State Spartans -9
RATING: 1* to 6* (6* Highest Rated Selection)
PLAY: 2* Minnesota Gophers +9
ANALYSIS:
The Breslin Center in East Lansing will be the site of tonight’s Big 10 clash between the host Spartans of Michigan State and the visiting Gophers from the University of Minnesota. Minnesota enters tonight’s contest off a home win over Illinois 59 to 36 while the Spartans are still reeling from a home loss on Sunday to Penn State as a 12.5 point favorite, 72 to 68.
Minnesota is 18-3 straight up and 10-6 against the spread this season. The Gophers solid play has continued when they hit the highway as their 5-1 straight up record indicates and they are also a money-making 4-2 against the number in those six contests. Minnesota is averaging 67.3 points per game on the road versus teams that only allow 65.2 points per game; defensively the Gophers are allowing 65.8 points per game to teams that average 68.2 points per game. The positive point differential the Gophers enjoy continues to be one of the reasons for their success when playing on the road and will be the reason they are able to keep this one close.
Michigan State is 17-4 straight up this season overall but they are only .500 against the spread with a record of 9-9 on the year. The Spartans have been pretty good on their home floor posting a straight up record of 7-3 but they have really struggled against the number with a money-burning 3-6 ATS mark. The Spartans have solid point differentials but they do not translate into ATS wins for their backers. MSU is averaging 77.1 points per game at home this season against teams that would normally only allow 65 points per game and on the defensive end of the floor the Spartans are only allowing 66.3 points per game to teams that average 70.2 points per game.
Technical support for our selection comes from both teams on the floor tonight. We see that the Gophers cover a high percentage of their games after holding opponents to 30 or fewer points in the first quarter of their last two games; their record is 7-1 ATS in this situation. MSU struggles after playing a game as a favorite especially when they are now at home as their 2-14 ATS record would indicate. They are also 9-18 ATS after playing 2 consecutive games as favorite and 2-10 ATS in home games after playing 3 consecutive games as favorite. Finally we have a CBB System that tells us to Play AGAINST college basketball teams that have gone ‘over’ the posted total in their last four games and are now installed as a conference favorite of 7 to 10 points, these teams are 20-37-1 ATS their last 58 in this situation.
When comparing common opponents the Spartans are 6-2 SU and 3-5 ATS averaging 70.6 points per game on 45.1 percent shooting from the field while allowing their opponents to score 64.9 points per game on 44.9 percent from the field. The Gophers are 4-1 both straight up and against the spread, having a much better record ATS than MSU against the same opponents. Minnesota averaged 64.6 points per game on 44.9 percent from the field and held their opponents to 55.4 points per game on 37.1 percent shooting.
Combine all the fundamental, situational and technical factors in this game and they lead to only one conclusion that is to back the visitor here as the Gophers take the Spartans down to the last possession.
PROJECTED FINAL SCORE: (2*) Minnesota 69 Michigan State 72

Dave Cokin's Free Tuesday Play!
543-44 Houston @ Central Florida 7PM ET
Play: UCF -3
The wheels have suddenly come off for Houston. The Cougars had a massive late collapse at Arizona a few games back and they haven't won since. That does not bode at all well for them this evening, as Central Florida has been absolute money in the bank at home all season. Houston is probably the slightly more talented team, but the situation favors UCF, so my lean is to the home favorite.
There's a slaughter in store tonight in the NBA and I'm all over this spot as my February NBA Mismatch of the Month. Grab it now for just $20!

Marc Lawrence NBA Bonus Play! - Wednesday 2/4
Play On: New York Knicks
Note: Yes, the Cavs have been the surprise team in the league this season and LeBron James is having an MVP career year. But when a new coach comes in and turns a program around 180 degrees during the first-half of a season we must stand up and take notice. That’s what Mike D’Antoni has done for the Knicks, a team that’s gone from the slums to a middle-class neighborhood in the Eastern Conference ever since his arrival from Phoenix this season. New York has never shied away from taking points in this series, going 18-9-4 ATS, including 4-0-1 against an unrested Cleveland squad. With King James perhaps more concerned with a revenge rematch against Kobe and the Lakers from a 105-88, worse loss of the season beating up next, we’ll bite into the Big Apple. Take the points with New York.

Nelly's FREE NCAA HOOPS PICK - Feb. 4
Minnesota + over Michigan State
These teams matched up on New Year's Eve and the result was a 12-point Michigan State win at the Barn. It was a bit of a misleading final as it was a one-point game at halftime and it was a game of runs by both teams with MSU ending the game on a strong scoring stretch to pull away. Minnesota was badly out-rebounded in the game, something that will be a huge emphasis for Coach Smith this time around. That game came in a tough spot for Minnesota as the Gophers were still undefeated and starting to get some national attention following the win over Louisville. The Gophers did not play a grueling non-conference schedule so the team was still not really sure what they had. In the Big Ten season Minnesota has hit a few rough spots but has proven it belongs in the top 25 and should be one of the better teams in the conference. This will be a key game for Minnesota to continue that quest. Michigan State has failed to cover in all four Big Ten home games this season including S/U losses in each of the past two games. The Spartans were assumed to be the best team in the conference but a look at the overall resume does not make that strong of a case as they have not been a dominant team. Minnesota has been a significantly superior defensive team and the Gophers have the depth and speed to limit the Spartans on offense. The Gophers should take a lot from the first meeting and make the needed adjustments. The Gophers are relying on several young players this season and they have taken great steps forward in the past few weeks and this is a steep spread for a questionable Spartans squad that has not played well at home.
Nelly's is now 33-15 in our last 48 packages (over 68%) on this site including a winning package in our last college basketball offer last night. Tonight we are featuring a pick on a huge Pac-10 clash between USC and UCLA. This game starts late tonight but will be worth your wait. Nelly's had incredible results in the month of January and we look to continue the hot start into February, our favorite month for college basketball.
