Saturday Selection

50 Dime Play: Texas Tech

Line as of 9:45 AM Eastern: Texas Tech -3 1/2 to -4 1/2

Special Instructions: With the line fluctuating a full point it is critical you do some price shopping.

Just when Texas was in a nice groove, starting center Cameron Ridley (12.7 points, 10 rebounds, 37 blocks) broke his foot. In the first game without their big man, the Longhorns used more three-guard and smaller lineups against U.Conn at home but still fell to the Huskies on Tuesday, 71-66, as a 2-point chalk.

Ridley being out is strike # 1 for Texas.

# 2 is the fact this is only the Longhorns' second true road game of the season.

# 3 is the fact Texas Tech is playing in triple revenge.

This has been a one-sided series as the Longhorns have won nine of the past 10 meetings, including the last three. But the Red Raiders, winners of nine in a row, are playing with confidence and now seek validation and payback simultaneously.

Tech was picked to be a cellar dweller in the Big 12 in preseason polls, but Tubby Smith's team has won nine in a row since losing its second game of the season to Utah. The Red Raiders have a top-10 RPI and have already beaten Minnesota and Miss State in tournament play in Puerto Rico in addition to handing Arkansas-Little Rock its first loss of the season.

The Red Raiders drilled Richmond in their last game, beating the Spiders by 15 in Lubbock. They play strong defense (foes shoot just 38%) and they're offense is much improved from a year ago (76.3 ppg vs. 69). They also have plenty of motivation with the Longhorns coming to town.

SMART SPORTS INVESTMENTS

Risked 5 units to win 4.55
Oregon +1 -110 vs TCU
Two great offenses squaring off here, but the Ducks are definitely the healthier of the two squads coming into this matchup, and I think they have played against some tougher defenses this season as well. Don’t use the Ducks record as a barometer here, the Ducks were without QB Vernon Adams in 2 of their 3 losses, the only loss with Adams starting was at Michigan State…by 3 points. The Ducks also bring in the nations best RB (who you never hear of) Royce Freeman who has rushed for 1706 yards, 14 TDS, and has had ten 100 yard rushing performances this season. Alot of my reasoning for picking the Ducks, is who’s playing better football now, and Oregon has won six straight including beating the Stanford Cardinals on their own field, essentially eliminating them from the Playoff. Oregon is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game. 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game. 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. 5-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games. 21-5 ATS in their last 26 games on grass. TCU is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after accumulating less than 170 yards passing in their previous game. 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing less than 170 yards passing in their previous game. 1-5 ATS in their last 6 bowl games. 1-7 ATS in their last 8 neutral site game. It’s been a disappointing season at TCU, and that disappointment will deepen with a loss to the Ducks to end their season.

West Virginia -1 -105 vs Arizona State
Really loving the fact that the Mountaineers are only giving up 1 pt in this game, our scoring model has West Virginia winning 36-30, and I would have been comfortable giving up 7 in this matchup. The Sun Devils have given up 450+ total yards in 5 straight games, and has given the ball away 19 times this season, and been outscored 68-49 in pts off turnovers. ASU seems to kill itself, while the WVU defense feasts on that type of team, they are 2nd in the nation with 23 interceptions coming into this game and have caused atleast two turnovers in 8 games this season, which plays right into our thinking of why they will win this game. The West Virginia Mountaineers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven non-conference games. 5-1 Over in their last six January games. 7-3 Over in their last 10 bowl games. ASU is 1-6 ATS in their last seven bowl games. 0-4 ATS in their last four non-conference games. 0-4 ATS in their last four neutral-site games.

5 Unit Play. #278 Take Oregon +1 over TCU (6:45p.m., Saturday, Jan 2 ESPN - Alamo Bowl)
As you can tell the betting public is all over TCU in this game as this game opened 'Pick' and as of Wednesday afternoon TCU is a -1 favorite. TCU suffered injuries all season long and yes they are a bit healthier now I like how the Ducks ended their season. Oregon racked up 6-straight wins to close out their season while TCU dropped 2 out of their last 4 games. Two powerful offenses go toe-to-toe Saturday night and with Vernon Adams for Oregon playing well at the end of the season I see the Ducks squeaking out a close bowl W.


4 Unit Play. #280 Take Arizona St 'PK' over West Virginia (10:15p.m., Saturday, Jan 2 ESPN - Cactus Bowl)
The Cactus Bowl is in the backyard of the Sun Devils and I'm still a bit shocked that West Virginia money came into this game early. I know ASU comes to Chase Field losers of 4 out of 6 games but their schedule was one tough cookie. ASU did win their last 2 home games against Arizona and Washington and both victories were by double-digits. West Virginia dropped their last game at Kansas St by one point and the Mountaineers will need to get the ASU crowd quite early. I do see a hard fought game and in the second half I see the ASU offense moving the ball and winning this game on a late second drive.
