Northern Iowa @ Siena
PICK: Siena

We get some great matchups on Saturday with all of the Bracket Buster games and this is one of those. Northern Iowa got off to a solid start in the Missouri Valley but it is now starting to come back to the pack with losses in two of its last three games. After starting the season 7-0 in MVC road games, the Panthers dropped their first on Saturday at Wichita St. and they saw their lead cut to just one game over Creighton. After playing Drake on Wednesday, Northern Iowa is at Illinois St. on Tuesday who is just two games back so this trip to Albany could not have come at a worse time. Northern Iowa went 0-3 in non-conference road games and this is far from any easy trip. Siena made a name for itself last year in the tournament as it smacked Vanderbilt. The Saints brought nearly everyone back this season and they are once again going to be a force come March. They are 15-1 in the conference and lead the MAAC by two and a half games over Niagara. They have a game against the Purple Eagles up next but that game is not until Friday and the situation is different than that of the Panthers especially that this game is at home. Siena is perfect at home this season and it will no doubt be looking to keep that intact. This is bigger game for the Saints as they are from a much smaller conference and need to prove some things. These games often come down to which team wants it more and you have to give that to Siena especially based on the past. They did so last season in the Bracket Buster when they went to Boise St. and throttled the Broncos by 23 points. Northern Iowa meanwhile lost to Illinois-Chicago at home last year in its Bracket Buster game. The Saints have significant edges in efficiency numbers in this matchup. Offensive efficiency shows the teams right at dead even but Siena has an edge on the defensive side as it has a rating of 96.5 which is 2nd in the MAAC and 84th in the country. Northern Iowa is near the bottom in that category in the Missouri Valley as it has a rating of 100.6. The key for the Saints is turnovers as they are forcing turnovers at a 23 percent slip which is 55th best in the nation. One can argue that it plays in a weak conference but the Saints have played a rather tough schedule that is ranked 113th in the nation, which is stringer than that of the Panthers. As far as forcing turnovers, Northern Iowa is dead last in the MVC at 17.7 percent which is also 319th in the nation. It isn’t going to force many in this matchup as Siena turns it over only 18.8 percent of the time which is 2nd in the conference and 68th in the country. That has led to a solid 1.11 assist/turnover ratio. Northern Iowa is right on pace with that but again, the defense of the Saints will cause havoc. The home team gets the call here and we will see some added value based on the success that Northern Iowa is having. 3* Siena Saints

dime bet557 California -4.5 (-110) BetUS vs 558 Oregon St.
Analysis:

Big revenge game for Cal, who lost at home to Oregon State by 4 as a 17.5-point favorite last month. Oregon State is coming off back-to-back upset wins over Washington State and Stanford and they have state rival Oregon up next.

Oregon State's other home games vs. top Pac-10 foes resulted in losses by 11 to Arizona State, 26 to Washington, and 23 to UCLA.


California is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings at Oregon State.
California is also 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win. The Golden Bears are also 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a road favorite of 6.5 or less and 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games following a SU win.



From a series perspective, the favorite is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings and the road team is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Cal has won each of their last 3 trips to Oregon State.


Oregon State is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games following an ATS win and 7-19 ATS in their last 26 home games. Oregon State is also 8-17 ATS in their last 25 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600.



From a statistical standpoint, Cal owns significant edges in rebound margin, 3-point shooting, shooting percentage, and points per game. And it all translates to the road as well.



I'll lay the points with Cal today as a Single-Dime play

Matty O'Shea | NBA Sides Triple-Dime Bet
508 UTA -7.0 (-110) BetUS vs 507 NOH
Analysis: The Utah Jazz will be playing with heavy hearts on Saturday after team owner Larry Miller passed away on Friday due to complications from diabetes. That factor alone has upgraded this play from a Game O' the Week to a Game O' the Month selection. I had already planned on taking the Jazz because the New Orleans Hornets will be playing a very tough back-to-back situation following an overtime road loss to the Lakers on Friday night along with the fact that Utah point guard Deron Williams has dominated previous meetings with Chris Paul. Williams has won nine of the 11 all-time meetings with Paul, with the Jazz going 5-1-1 ATS in the lsat seven games between the teams. Look for an easy double-digit victory in honor of Miller and bet the Jazz as my Triple Dime NBA Game O' the Month.

612 UNLV -2.0 (-110) BetUS vs 611 Brigham Young
Analysis: This quite simply the biggest game of the season for the UNLV Runnin' Rebels, who were caught in a look-ahead spot at Wyoming on Wednesday. They lost that game 77-68 but have dominated the BYU Cougars recently, going 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings over the past four years. UNLV could miss out on the NCAA tournament with a loss at home against BYU and does not want to depend on winning the conference tournament yet again in order to qualify for the Big Dance. Ironically, the Rebels have won the last two Mountain West tourney titles with wins against the Cougars and pulled off a stunning 76-70 victory at Provo in the first meeting earlier this season despite trailing 43-30 at halftime. They have circled this game on the calendar and realize what it means to their season. Bet UNLV as my Triple Dime NCAA Game O' the Year.

604 Texas / 603 Oklahoma Over 141.5 Bookmaker.com
Analysis: The Oklahoma Sooners appear to be the new #1 team in college basketball but will have to play in a hostile environment at Austin here first before the polls come out on Monday. They won the first meeting with the Texas Longhorns 78-63, and I expect an even higher-scoring game in the rematch. Texas is averaging 74 points in its last five games and has seen the OVER cash in three straight. Meanwhile, the OVER is 7-1 in Oklahoma's last eight games overall, and the Sooners are averaging nearly 83 points during that stretch. Both teams should be able to score at will in this one, so bet the OVER as my Single Dime College Hoops Total Play O' the Day.

Bracket Buster GOY: Utah State.
A great coach, a winning program, great defense and a ton of talent...and they're a dog? Utah State (25-2) has the second-best record in the nation behind Oklahoma (25-1) and is tied with the Sooners for the most wins in the nation. Utah State is also one of just five teams in the nation with two or fewer losses along with Oklahoma, Connecticut (24-2), Pittsburgh (24-2), and North Carolina (24-2). This is nothing new. Utah State is the only team in the nation to win at least 23 games in each of the last 10 years. The Aggies play terrific defense, allowing 59 ppg and are 10-1 on the road. They were a dog once this season, and won straight up at UCSB. St. Mary's is 3-4 SU the last 7 games without star playmaker Patrick Mills (18.7 ppg), the leading scorer who is out with two broken bones in his right hand. The wrong team opened as the favorite. Play Utah State.

Georgia State at Eastern Michigan
Prediction: Georgia State

Georgia St. was supposed to make some noise in the Colonial this season but it has been a pretty big disappointment for the Panthers. However, they are playing much better now and they are peaking at the time. Georgia St. has won two straight games and four of its last six following a horrendous 3-14 run. The Panthers are 7-9 in the CAA which is middle of the pack and the fact that it has been such a disappointing season means it will be looking past no one, including a horrible Eastern Michigan team. The resurgence has been due to them finally making shots as they have shot 50 percent or better in four of their last five games including a 55.8 percent effort last time out at Northeastern. Eastern Michigan is 4-22 this season and only two of those wins have come against Division I competition. The Eagles were coming off their biggest win of the season, an eight-point win at Bowling Green last Sunday but followed that up with another dud on Wednesday as they managed just 38 points in a loss at Western Michigan. The defense has been pretty good this year but the offense has been atrocious as Eastern Michigan has scored 53 points or fewer in 12 of its last 16 games including scoring in the 40?s or worse in six of its last eight contests. Part of the problem has been a lack of chemistry as ten different players have started at least four games for the Eagles this year. Georgia St. falls into a solid situation as well. Play on road teams with a losing record on the season where the line is +3 to -3 and are coming off a road win by three points or less. This situation is 31-7 ATS (81.6 percent) since 1997 with the average point differential being +6.1 ppg. This scenario is a perfect 3-0 this season and extended here. 5* Georgia St. Panthers

4 Unit Play. #621. Take Iona +5 over Boston University (Saturday @ 1pm est). Most received a win with VCU +1.5 yesterday, but it will count as a push just in case some recieved +1 early in the morning. It's more important to use the lowest common denominator to make sure it is fair to everyone and not just most. Let's take the early game in this interconference showdown as we back the Gaels. I have followed Iona as I do all Metro teams for quite some time over the past few years. They have certainly come a long way and by no means are they the laughing stock of division one basketball anymore. This team now sits at 12-15 and certainly if they win out the rest of this season they can be .500. One of the best things about Iona is the fact they handle adversity so well. This is a team that when they need to step up in the toughest of circumstances they do - and when things are a bit easier, they let down. Well, today is such a case when they face a very competent Boston team on the road. But, note that Iona is the same team that went on the road to defeat Hofstra earlier this year by 3, they defeated Niagara on the road as well, took care of Manhattan by 20 on neutral footing and come off a horrible 15 point loss to Siena at home in a game they really weren't competitive in until the late second half. Even at that point, Siena began pulling away near the end. This team has to be furious with that loss and I think they bounce-back well here. Boston is a good looking team, but they to come off a series of losses as they have lost their last three contests. The thing about Boston is, I'm not sure how they will do against a team like Iona who has faced such tougher competition throughout the year. Iona's SOS this year was in the top 150's while Boston's was only around the top 250. Sure, Boston has a PR ranking, but that is because they played more cupcake teams as well. I feel that Iona has the motivation, has played a tougher schedule all year, I like the 5 points, this is an afternoon game where I don't think the crowd will be all that too much of a factor and I think Iona's has showed time and time again they can step up in adversity and I think they get it done here after the really disappointing loss to Siena. Iona likely for the Outright here, if not, I'll take them to stay inside the 5.
*Added analysis (11:05am): It seems since the morning, the line has come down and it is +4.5 and +4 in other books, this play still goes on, similar to when Amare was out for the Suns yesterday, regardless, we still make the play b/c there are several factors that usually work for us with the pod.
Good luck,
Indian Cowboy.

Play: 4 Unit Play. #507. Take the New Orleans Hornets +8 over the Utah Jazz (Saturday @ 9pm est). (POD)
Comments: INDIAN COWBOY'S PLAY OF THE DAY: 4 Unit Play. #507. Take the New Orleans Hornets +8 over the Utah Jazz (Saturday @ 9pm est). Let's roll with the dog in Utah today as I believe it makes sense for us due to several reasons. For starters, the last time these two teams met, New Orleans was embarrassed 90-116 in Utah. What's wild about that game is that New Orleans was actually leading after the first quarter 33-29 and had a horrendous second quarter 13-29. Utah definitely received some favorable calls in that game going to the line 44 times as compared to New Orleans's 21 times. Did you see what the Hornets were able to do with no Tyson Chandler against the Lakers? They nearly beat this team Outright on the road - and it took a Derek Fisher 3 pointer just to send it to overtime. Now, I'm not saying the Hornets can't get blown out. Heck, I nearly took the over in GS today. But, I am saying they have a good chance of being competitive regardless of the back to back. You better believe the Hornets coaching staff will remind this team of the 26 point loss this team suffered last time out in New Orleans. You better also believe that Chris Paul, Butler, Peja, Posey, Armstrong will be ready to roll today. Peja only had 7 points in their last meeting so I expect him to have a better game today and I just go back to the fact that this team faced the same spread of 8 and who knows, maybe even 8.5 prior to game time and the Hornets are a team that typically does well on revenge angles - after all, look what they did to the Magic at home in New Orleans just a couple of days ago. I like the fact that Utah comes off a big win against the Celtics at home, so this could be a bit of a letdown, although a bit about a lack of bench for the Hornets, with Peterson possibly coming back, with Posey, Devin Brown and Sean Marks seeing more minutes, I think the Hornets can be competitive here. If the Hornets can stage off a big 3rd quarter by the Jazz which is likely, I feel great catching the points heading into the fourth quarter. Look for the Hornets to play far better defense today and not allow the 116 they allowed last time out in New Orleans as I expect this to be a 96-100 type of contest.

Pittsburgh +1.49 over PHILADELPHIA (REG) (1:00 PM) PINNACLE

Sergei Gonchar is really a difference maker for the Penguins and his presence just make everyone feel and play a whole lot better. Pittsburgh beat the Canadiens 5-4 on Thursday night but the score shouldn’t have been that close, as Marc Andre Fleury allowed two soft goals and definitely wasn’t sharp. However, the offense looked so much crisper and we all know that Fleury can come up huge. The Flyers are difficult to beat because of an offense that’s loaded with snipers. Philly’s problem however, is going to be keeping pucks out of its net. Marty Biron looked very shaky against the Sabres on Thursday and the Flyers defense is just not that strong. So, with its back to the wall and somewhat of a new lease on life, we’ll see today exactly what the Penguins are made of here. Play Pittsburgh +1.49 (Risking 2 units).



Ottawa +1.50 over MONTREAL (REG) (3:00 PM) PINNACLE

Where do I get in line to lay –1.60 on the Montreal Canadiens? Can there possibly be a worse wager on the board today? The Habs’ grease-fire keeps getting larger and at some point they’ll win a game but it’s not likely to occur here. This bunch is feeling the pressure of a total collapse and with 12 losses in its last 15 games (it should be 14 losses because they were so badly outplayed in wins against L.A. and Colorado), the Canadiens are in serious trouble. They’ll also return home from a grueling six-game trip amidst some serious allegations against three of its players that links them to an alleged big-time drug dealer. Anyway, the situation for the Habs is that this team over-achieved last season, they overachieved at the start of the year and now its true colors are being shown. A slew of very average players had big years last season and frankly, the Canadiens are just not a good team and they’re not going to get any better until some major changes are made. Alex Kovalev will be back in the line-up today but big deal. Said coach Guy Carbonneau, “Alex has made it clear to me and Bob how much he wants to stay and fight for the Montreal Canadiens. That’s the most important thing and why it was an easy decision for me to have him come back and play against Ottawa.” Well, your holiness, thank you so much for your decision to allow Kovalev to play for you. What a joke Carbonneau is. This guy actually believes his you-know-what doesn’t stink. The Sens at least have shown a little heart recently and they have a lot more talent than the Habs. They picked up a couple of decent players from the Islanders this week (Comrie and Campoli) and those two guys can only help. The Canadiens favored by –1.60 in its current situation is absolutely ludicrous and win, lose or draw, the Sens are a must play. Play: Ottawa +1.50 (Risking 2 units).



LOS ANGELES -½ +1.10 over Phoenix (REG) (4:00 PM) PINNACLE

All I have to say is that there are some teams that had better hope that the Kings miss the playoffs because playing them in the first round could result in an early exit or at the very least, use up a ton of energy in getting past this very dangerous squad. The Kings are playing tremendous hockey right now despite just one win in its last five games. How can a team be playing great with one win in five games you ask? Well, they absolutely dominated Calgary, Edmonton and Atlanta but ran into some hot goalies and ended up losing. It’s other loss came at San Jose in the tail end of back-to-backs after beating the Ducks the previous night. Now they’ll catch the very fragile Coyotes at precisely the right time. The Coyotes have been in a horrible funk since the all-star break and it’s also worth noting that they have one of the worst road records in the business. Phoenix has now dropped nine of its last 11 and things are surely not, going to get any easier here. The Kings desperately need to win a game at home and this intruder is about as ripe as it gets. Play Los Angeles -½ +1.10 (Risking 2 units).



Chicago –1.08 over DALLAS (REG) (2:00 PM) PINNACLE

The Blackhawks are on a serious roll right now and it just makes sense to lay this cheap price with them against a Stars team that looked sharp coming out of the break but has been anything but over its past few games. Dallas was smoked by these Blackhawks three games ago 6-2 and followed that up with a 3-2 OT win over the Jackets. However, they were badly outplayed in that game, getting out-shot 43-22. Against Chicago they were out-shot 36-18. The Blackhawks come in here with their confidence soaring. They have recent road wins in San Jose, Calgary and Florida and over its last three games they’ve out-shot the opposition by a ridiculous 127-72 count. Chicago has also scored 15 times over that three game stretch while allowing just five goals against, which is a testament to just how good both the defense and Cristobal Huet are playing. Furthermore, the Blackhawks have a significant psychological edge as they’ve destroyed the Stars all three times they’ve played them this year while outscoring them 17-7. Play: Chicago –1.08 (Risking 2.16 units to win 2).



COLUMBUS -½ +1.09 over Anaheim (REG) PINNACLE

The Jackets have won six of its last seven games and the only loss during that stretch came in OT against Dallas in a game they clearly deserved to win. They out-shot Dallas 43-22 and were all over them from start to finish. The Jackets also own a tremendous home record with just nine regulation losses in 30 games and now there’s a little buzz in the building, as the team is approaching its first playoff appearance in its brief history. During its current run the Jackets have beaten both Detroit and San Jose and it’s not like they’re taking a step up in class against the sometimes-gutless Ducks. Anaheim comes in here losers of three straight and five of seven. Over its last three games they’ve allowed 17 goals against and that includes allowing eight at home to the Thrashers. It will also be the Ducks third game in four nights after they played in Detroit last night and playing that team always takes its toll. The Jackets are a juiced up team heading to the playoffs that’ll be playing to a juiced up home crowd and this ripe Ducks team is not about to get in its way. Play: Columbus -½ +1.09 (Risking 2 units).

RON RAYMOND’S 5* NBA O/U GAME OF THE NIGHT
Pick # 1 Oklahoma City Thunder / Golden State Warriors Over 229 -110

[Mr. IWS]

Saturday's 3*** Top Play in the NBA is ON THE HOUSE from KING CREOLE!
We stunk up the joint with last night's TOTALS PLAY on the Cavs/Bucks UNDER the TOTAL. As a result, Saturday's Play in the NBA is ON THE HOUSE from King Creole. But make no mistake about it, this play has a LOT going for it!

3*** UTAH JAZZ minus the points vs New Orleans Hornets / 9:05pm ET / #908

The Hornets played last night IN Los Angeles.... and took the Lakers right down to the wire, losing in OVERTIME 115-111. They didn't get the win, but the DID get the ATS cash. Now, they take to the road in one of the NBA's least profitable situations. Playing on the ROAD with NO rest against the Utah Jazz. Chris Paul played 45 minutes in last night's game... so he might be a little sore in tonight's game. Let's not forget that Utah has the ultimate motivation going for them tonight. Their owner (Larry Miller) passed away last night as he lost his battle with diabetes.
GREAT situation number ONE:

2-16-3 ATS last 3 years: All NBA Western Conference teams playing on the road with NO REST versus the UTAH JAZZ (Hornets). These teams are a PERFECT 0-10-2 ATS if the Utah Jazz are playing off a SU win. And since Utah just beat Boston at home (as a dog) a couple of days ago, ALL SYSTEMS are GO to "fade" the Hornets tonight.

GREAT situation number TWO:
12-24 ATS last 3 years: All NBA underdogs who played the previous night on the ROAD versus the LOS ANGELES LAKERS.... that lost the game STRAIGHT UP but got the ATS win in the process (New Orleans). These teams are 5-16 ATS versus any opponent off a SU win (like the JAZZ are).... and 0-6 ATS if that opponent is of a DOG win (like the JAZZ). If these doggies are playing with NO REST, we also note that they are 1-8 ATS.
