Tuesday's Champions League betting cheat sheet

Groups E, F, G and H are in action as UEFA Champions League resumes Tuesday. Chelsea and Basel will meet up in Switzerland and Dortmund host Napoli in what could prove to be the most important matches of the day.

Borussia Dortmund v Napoli (-163, +333, +475)

Why bet Dortmund: A loss and Dortmund is all but out of the competition, which would be unacceptable for Jürgen Klopp and his men. Dortmund has been uncharacteristically poor of late, coming off a very disappointing 3-0 loss to Bayern Munich in Bundesliga play. They will be thin at the back, however, as CB's Mats Hummels and Neven Subotic will miss out through injury.

Key players out/doubtful: Ilkay Gündogan, Marcel Schmelzer, Mats Hummels, Neven Subotic

Why bet Napoli: Even without star-playmaker Marek Hamsik, Napoli will be confident due to a 2-1 home win against Dortmund earlier in Champions League. A full three points here essentially sees the Serie A club through to the knockout stages of the competition. Despite having knocked off Dortmund previously, the Serie A club is enduring a poor run of form domestically, having dropped back-to-back efforts against Juventus and Parma.

Key players out/doubtful: Juan Zuñiga, Giandomenico Mesto, Marek Hamsik

Previous matchup result: Napoli 2, Dortmund 1

Key betting note: Five of Napoli's last six matches in Champions League have resulted in scorelines over the 2.5-goal total.

Basel v Chelsea (+375, +260, -118)

Why bet Basel: The Swiss side will be fighting for the European life because a loss, paired with a Schalke win over Bucharest, would knock them out. Basel posted a shock victory at Stamford Bridge in the first meeting between the two clubs and will look for the same end result Tuesday.

Key players out/doubtful: Marcelo Diaz, Behrang Safari

Why bet Chelsea: Revenge would be one reason. Getting back to enjoying consistent, winning form would be another. The Blues dropped big points to Newcastle in the Premier League on Nov. 2 and have a pair of wins and a draw in three matches since. A win in Switzerland and the Blues punch their ticket to the next round.

Key players out/doubtful: Marco van Ginkel, Fernando Torres, Michael Essien

Previous matchup result: Chelsea 1, Basel 2

Key betting note: Chelsea has scored at least three goals in their previous three Champions League matches.

Tuesday's other matches with odds:

Zenit v Atletico Madrid (+100, +260, +300)
Ajax v Barcelona (+550, +333, -182)
Arsenal v Marseille (-450, +600, +1400)
Celtic v AC Milan (+210, +230, +150)
FC Porto v FK Austria Vienna (-700, +800, +2200)
Steaua Bucharest v Schalke (+300, +250, +105)

Western Michigan at Northern Illinois: What bettors need to know

Western Michigan Broncos at Northern Illinois Huskies (-35)

Northern Illinois looks to stay alive in its hunt for a second straight Bowl Championship Series appearance when it hosts Western Michigan on Tuesday. The Huskies, who are 16th in the latest BCS rankings, need to leapfrog Fresno State in the standings to earn a berth. Northern Illinois has already clinched a spot in the Mid-American Conference title game for a fourth straight year.

Things have gone much differently for Western Michigan which hopes to play spoiler in its season finale. The Broncos have just one win on the season, a 31-30 decision at one-win Massachusetts. Other than that, it has been a dismal season as Western Michigan has been outscored by an average of more than three touchdowns and ranks tied for 108th in the nation in rushing (118.3 yards).

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN2. LINE: Northern Illinois -34

ABOUT WESTERN MICHIGAN (1-10, 1-6 MAC): The Broncos haven't beaten the Huskies since opening the 2008 MAC season with a 29-26 victory. Wide receiver Corey Davis has been a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing season as he is 87 yards away from becoming the fourth wide receiver in MAC history to reach 1,000 yards receiving in their rookie season. Dareyon Chance had a 29-yard scoring run in the Tigers' last loss, a 27-22 setback against Central Michigan.

ABOUT NORTHERN ILLINOIS (11-0, 7-0): The Huskies rank seventh nationally in scoring (43.7 points) behind the stellar play of dual-threat quarterback Jordan Lynch. Lynch, who is gaining Heisman acclaim, has thrown 21 touchdown passes while rushing for an additional 17. Lynch scored three times on the ground as Northern Illinois fended off a pesky upset bid by Toledo a week ago in a 35-17 victory.

TRENDS:

* Favorite is 3-0-1 ATS in their last four meetings.
* Broncos are 2-13-1 ATS in their last 16 meetings.
* Broncos are 0-8 ATS in their last eight meetings in Northern Illinois.
* Huskies are 24-8-2 ATS in their last 34 conference games.

EXTRA POINTS:

1. Northern Illinois has seven wins by double figures.

2. Western Michigan leads the series 23-15.

3. Northern Illinois lost to Florida State 31-10 in the Orange Bowl last season.

NFL Week 13 opening line report: Oddsmakers giving thanks
By JASON LOGAN

This Thanksgiving, Las Vegas oddsmakers are thankful for a relatively tight set of NFL games on the holiday Thursday.

Outside of the Dallas Cowboys being favored by 9.5 points at home to Oakland, the other two contests should stay within a touchdown, which is good news on a day when the turkey-stuffed public loves to pound the favorite and the Over.

“That’s the way it is anytime you see marquee schedules,” Peter Korner, founder of the Nevada-based odds service The Sports Club, tells Covers. “Everyone will have their separate wagers rolling into each other on Thanksgiving. But this year’s schedule presents a pretty good challenge to bettors.”

The biggest question on everyone’s mind heading into Thursday’s trio of games is the status of Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, who has missed the last three games with a broken collarbone. Korner is advising his clients to keep the game off the board until more is known on Rodgers but says to expect a 7-point swing if the former MVP is ready to go.

“Without (Rodgers), I’d have to say Detroit by a touchdown,” Korner says of Thursday’s early game. “If he’s back, probably around a pick. Detroit was a ‘bet against’ team last week, with early money on Tampa Bay. We’ll see what happens with them with a short week.”

Korner expects the majority of the middle game action to come in strong on Dallas. Most shops are dealing the Cowboys as 9.5-point home favorites but Korner isn’t convinced books will want to go above the key number of 10.

“We’re wary of the Oakland-Dallas game. That’s the trouble game,” says Korner. “Oakland has come down with such a thud last week and Dallas is coming off a big win. All the action with be on Dallas.”

As for the night cap, Korner says books couldn’t be happier to have a rivalry like Pittsburgh-Baltimore split the action. This AFC North grudge match could have a ton of parlay action rolling into it depending on the outcome of the first two games.

“This is the game you want,” he says. “These types of games, anything can happen. The difference is pretty much the home field.”

Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs (+2)

With both of these AFC West powers coming off a loss, bettors have some tough terrain to scale in Week 13. Denver took the first meeting with Kansas City easily two weeks ago but playing in Arrowhead is a completely different scenario.

“These two are meeting again on such short notice that it is coming in around a pick,” says Korner. “There is a revenge factor for Kansas City but certainly the Chiefs need to redefine themselves and this is the game to do it.”

New Orleans Saints at Seattle Seahawks (-6)

Korner sent out this spread at Seattle -4 but agrees with the move many books have taken to Seahawks -6. New Orleans just hasn’t been the same team away from the Big Easy and heads to the toughest venue in football – CenturyLink Field – where Monday temperatures are expect to be around freezing with a chance of showers.

“That line plays into Seattle, not that the conditions and the home field aren’t noted,” he says. “New Orleans’ last game is going to be on people’s minds – scoring only 17 points on the road in Atlanta – and how different that scoring is between home and the road."

Packers' Rodgers 'slim to none' to play on Thanksgiving

Cheeseheads and Green Bay bettors alike were holding out hope that MVP QB Aaron Rodgers would be able to return to action this Thursday when the Packers head to Detroit to take on the Lions on Thanksgiving.

As reported by Dan Gantt of Pro Football talk, Aaron Rodgers wants to play this week, but Packers coach Mike McCarthy told reporters it would be a 'huge stretch' to think he would be sufficiently recovered from a broken collar bone to play the Lions on Thursday. Rodgers suffered the broken collar bone four weeks ago against Chicago.

McCarthy is leaning towards starting Matt Flynn at QB for the Packers (5-5-1 ATS) against the Lions (6-5 ATS), after solid relief work replacing Scott Tolzien against Minnesota this past Sunday.

Tuesday Tips
By Kevin Rogers

Nets at Raptors

Brooklyn: 3-10 SU, 4-9 ATS
Toronto: 6-7 SU, 7-6 ATS

This is not the season that Nets' fans imagined after acquiring Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett from the Celtics. The veteran mega-team that was set to compete with Miami for the Eastern Conference title has lost 10 of its first 13 games, while point guard Deron Williams and center Brook Lopez have each missed time due to injuries. To make matters worse, the Nets have won just once away from the Barclays Center in eight tries, while covering only twice on the highway.

The Raptors are running away with the Atlantic Division even though they sit below .500 as the other four teams in the division have stumbled out of the gate. Toronto is seeking its first three-game winning streak of the season after knocking off Philadelphia and Washington. The Raps have covered six of their last eight games overall, but are a coin-flip at the Air Canada Center by splitting six home contests. These teams are meeting for the first time this season, as the Nets grabbed three of four matchups last season.

Lakers at Wizards

Los Angeles: 7-7 SU, 8-5-1 ATS
Washington: 5-8 SU, 7-6 ATS

The Lakers travel east for a three-game road trip after winning three straight contests to close out their homestand. Los Angeles beat Detroit and Golden State as an underdog, before knocking off Sacramento as a favorite on Sunday night. The Lakers haven't performed well away from Staples Center, posting a 1-4 SU/ATS record with all four losses coming by double-digits. L.A.'s defense has improved of late by allowing 99 points or less in four of the last five games.

The Wizards have quietly won three of their last four contests, including a 98-89 home victory over the downtrodden Knicks to finish off four games in five days. Washington's defense has settled in as the Wizards have gone 'under' the total in six of the last seven games. The Wizards own a 1-3 SU and 2-2 ATS record against the Western Conference this season, but all four teams are currently sitting above the .500 mark.

Magic at Hawks

Orlando: 4-9 SU, 6-7 ATS
Atlanta: 8-6 SU, 9-5 ATS

The Magic pulled off a few minor upsets to start the season, but Orlando has lost seven of its last eight games including four in a row. To make matters worse, the Magic has failed to win a game away from home, posting an 0-5 SU and 3-2 ATS on the highway. All three covers on the road were all as double-digit underdogs, including Saturday's heartbreaking defeat at Miami, 101-99 as 13-point 'dogs. Orlando fell flat the following night in a 104-96 home setback to Phoenix as two-point 'chalk.'

The Hawks haven't lost consecutive games this season, coming off Saturday's 94-87 home defeat to the Celtics. Atlanta has done a fantastic job of bouncing back off a loss with a 4-0 SU/ATS record, including three of those victories at Philips Arena. Earlier this month, the Hawks downed the Magic, 104-94 to cash as 6 ½-point home favorites, the ninth straight win in the series for Atlanta. The totals are starting to drop on Atlanta, as the Hawks have hit the 'under' in five consecutive games.

Warriors at Pelicans

Golden State: 8-6 SU, 6-7-1 ATS
New Orleans: 6-6 SU, 4-8 ATS

The Warriors are going backwards at the moment with three consecutive losses, including Saturday's home defeat to red-hot Portland. Andre Iguodala suffered a hamstring injury in Friday's setback to the Lakers and sat out the Blazers' loss, as the swingman is out for Tuesday's contest. The Warriors will also be without center Andrew Bogut, who was suspended one game for an altercation in Saturday's loss. Golden State is in the midst of a 1-5 ATS stretch the last six contests, while dropping three of its past four games away from Oracle Arena.

The Pelicans are listed as an underdog for just the third time this season, as New Orleans returns home after playing with no rest on Monday at San Antonio. Home is where the heart is for the Pelicans, who have won four consecutive games in the Big Easy, while hitting the 'over' in each of the last three home contests. The Pelicans lost all four meetings with the Warriors last season, while Golden State has won each of the last four visits to New Orleans.

Tuesday's game

Northern Illinois is 9-3 in last 12 games with Western Michigan, winning last four by average score of 42-20; Broncos lost five of last six visits to DeKalb, with four of five losses by 27+ points-- underdogs covered five of last seven series games. NIU has gained 566+ yards in last five games; they're 2-1 as home favorites, winning by 7-39-21 points. Western is 1-7 vs spread in its last eight games; they're 3-6 as an underdog this season, 3-2 on road- their last three games overall were decided by total of nine points. Huskies played Wednesday, so this is short week; Western has not played in ten days. Remember that NIU is trying to finish as high as possible in BCS ratings, so they'll run up the score, if they can.

Brooklyn over *Toronto by 3
Brooklyn has been terrible on the road, but the Raptors have been hard-pressed to get
any scoring this year besides streak shooters Rudy Gay and DeMar DeRozan.
BROOKLYN 101-98.

**PREFERRED
*Washington over Los Angeles Lakers by 13
The Lakers are weak defensively at point guard so they figure to have problems with
John Wall. The Wizards don't have much up front, but the Lakers lack the interior
muscle to take advantage. Washington should be rested and ready having been idle
since Saturday. The Wizards were 20-9 ATS in their last 29 home contests through

WASHINGTON 108-95.

*Atlanta over Orlando by 7
The Hawks caught a flat Orlando squad playing in the second of consecutive games

have defeated the Magic at home.
ATLANTA 102-95.

Tuesday, November 26

Valparaiso snapped 3-game skid by pounding James Madison by 37 in last game; Crusaders are turning ball over 22.4% of time- their two wins are vs teams outside top 200, their losses vs teams in top 120. UCF has made only 53.8% of FT's (bottom 5 in US) in 2-1 start, with win over a subpar Miami team by 5. Horizon League favorites are 5-6 vs spread.

George Mason is off to 4-1 start, 1-1 vs top 150 teams; they're turning ball over 23.6% of time (bottom 15 in US), holding teams to 27.8% on arc- they lost by 16 at Iona, won by 14 at Lamar. Princeton made 38.9% of its 3's in 3-1 start, losing by 3 to Butler; none of three vicitims are in top 200. Atlantic 13 road dogs are 8-5; Ivy League favorites are 3-1.

First road game for 5-0 Illinois club whose best win was vs #134 Valpo; Illini has rebounded 47% of its misses so far- that'll end here, vs UNLV frontline that is decent on boards but is also blocking 14.5% of shots by its oppoennts. Rebels' problem is they can't shoot (44.1% inside arc, 50.5% from foul line- 3rd worst in US). Big Dozen road favorites; 7-4.

West Virginia is 4-1, losing by 5 at #137 Va Tech; its best win was over #200 Duquesne by 13; WVU is protecting ball better and making 43.6% from arc, improved over LY. #187 Old Dominion is 4-1, losing in OT to Missouri State in opener, then beating four stiffs; teams are shooting 37% against them, both inside and outside arc, which is very unusual.

Wisconsin is 6-0, scored 89 ppg in last three games; they're making 45% of 3's, and beat three top 90 teams, including short-handed Florida by 6. Saint Louis is veteran team thats won lot of games; they're 5-0 this year, with only one victim ranked better than #199. Billikens force turnovers 22.8% of time, hold foes to 20.3% from arc- those are Badger strengths.

Minnesota only played seven guys in 75-67 loss to Syracuse Monday; now they'll be facing a fellow pressing team in Arkansas, which played 11 kids 10+ minutes in its 85-77 loss to Cal. Gophers are 5-1; only good win is by 15 at Richmond. Razorbacks' best win is over SMU by 11. Big Dozen teams are 5-6 vs spread on neutral courts; SEC teams are 3-4.

California is holding teams to 35% from floor in its 5-0 start- they used six kids more than 8:00 Monday vs pressing Arkansas, playing four of its starters 33+ minutes, but 2-3 zone is less physically demanding to go against. 5-0 Syracuse was 22-27 on line against Gophers with only ten (+9) turnovers. Cal's big guy Solomon got poked in eye late in game, did not finish game, but that may also be because he is 40% from foul line.

Dayton was down 16 in first half last night, rallied to upset Gonzaga, as Flyers had 18 offensive boards and survived shaky (21-35) shooting on foul line. Dayton used four subs 11+ minutes. Baylor went 11-25 from arc in 92-77 win over D-II Chaminade, which got 42 points (10-16 from arc) from a guard. No Baylor player played more than 28 minutes.

5-0 Pitt was up 23 at half, cruised past Texas Tech; Panthers recruit a lot in NYC, so they'll have slight crowd edge here. Pitt hasn't played top 100 team yet; #39 Stanford held off Houston in nightcap Monday, with three Cardinal playing 36+ minutes. Stanford had been making 41% from arc before going 7-21 Monday. ACC neutral court favorites are 7-2.

Wichita State shot 59.6% from floor, beat DePaul of Big East by 18; it was 52-34 at half in mostly stress-free game. Shockers were 28-37 from foul line, 3-8 from arc- they get ball inside. BYU used three kids 34+ in tough 86-82 win over Texas; Cougars made 10-12 from arc, held Texas tp 38% from floor. Luckily for BYU, Longhorns also missed 11 FTs. BYU will challenge Wichita's defense; they can score.

Manhattan is 3-1 against four teams rated higher than #226 Fordham; in LY's game, Jaspers survived 27 turnovers (-12) to win 67-58, getting to foul line 33 (26-33) times. Manhattan won last two series games as they both struggle to rebuild once-proud programs, with Jaspers further along in process. Fordham is 2-2, losing by 12 to Sacred Heart in last game.

Hard to tell much about Murray State, which is 0-3 vs D-I teams, with all three games on road; Racers lost PG Jackson (knee) in preseason, so that hurts, added to graduation losses. Middle Tennessee is 4-1, losing to Florida by 20, beating gaggle of stiffs; Blue Raiders are moving up this year to C-USA- they're top 40 team in experience, but have history of flopping in conference tournaments.

4-0 Utah State already has 71-64 win at decent UCSB; they're shooting 46.6% behind arc (#6 in US), 76% from foul line as they visit Weber St. team they've beaten four of last five times, losing last visit to Ogden by 10. LY. Weber State hasn't played in 10 days; they're 0-2, losing by 21 at Colorado State, 9 at BYU- they're 2nd-to-last in US forcing TO's.

WUNDERDOG
CFB Game: Western Michigan at Northern Illinois (Tuesday 11/26 7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Northern Illinois -35 (-110)
Northern Illinois is 11-0 and have not lost a game over the last two years outside of their Bowl
game last season vs. Florida State. The Huskies are in position to make it two straight BCS Bowl
appearances but must stay ahead of Fresno State to do so, as the Bulldogs are also unbeaten
and on their tail. NIU certainly has a good situation based on past teams in this spot, as unbeaten
teams of 10 wins or more that play as heavy chalk as a home favorite of more than -23 have
covered 65.2% of the time since 1990! Western Michigan has a lone win this season by a single
point over UMass, and they come here a very unthreatening 1-10. The Huskies need to keep the
good impression on to maintain their standing as a BCS Bowl candidate, so there will be no letting
up in this one. The Broncos are just 1-8 ATS in their last nine conference games, and have been
even worse when playing in Northern Illinois, as they have taken the doughnut their last eight
trips at 0-8 ATS. Lay the points and play on Northern Illinois.

Miss. St. QB Prescott out this week vs. Ole Miss

Mississippi State QB Dak Prescott will miss Thursday night's game against state rival Ole Miss and likely the remainder of the regular season.

The odds for the Thanksgiving SEC showdown are currently off the board as Mississippi State (5-6, 6-5 ATS) will more than likely look to third string QB Damian Williams to guide the Bulldogs to a win against the Ole Miss Rebels (7-4, 6-5 ATS) and clinch their fourth consecutive appearance in a bowl game.

Williams entered Saturday's game at Arkansas after backup Tyler Russell injured his shoulder, and scored his first career touchdown for the Bulldogs, which turned out to be the game winner.

Prescott may be able to return to action if the Bulldogs if they do qualify for the Bowl season. He leads Mississippi State in passing and rushing yards, with 1,542 and 722 respectively.

Beyond the BCS: Big profits from NCAAF small conferences
By DOC'S SPORTS

Some of the best betting value in college football is hiding beyond the BCS, in the small conferences. Each week, Covers Experts’ Doc’s Sports will look at the little programs that could help you make big cash this college season.

Team to watch: Alabama-Birmingham Blazers (2-9 SU, 4-7 ATS)

This week: -14.5 vs. Southern Mississippi

UAB may be better than its five-game losing streak suggests. As a 17-point underdog last Saturday, it extended an 8-3 Rice team to overtime before falling 37-34. This week's matchup should be a good one for the Blazers. The weakness of their team (232.2 rushing yards allowed per game) is going up against a futile Southern Mississippi rushing attack (70.3 ypg). On the other side of the ball, UAB averages 181.1 yards on the ground while the Golden Eagles give up 231.8.

Southern Mississippi has not won a game since the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl on Dec. 24, 2011. For those counting, that's 23 consecutive losses. That also means zero career wins for head coach Todd Monken, who replaced UNC-bound Larry Fedora after the 2011 campaign. Freshman quarterback Nick Mullens threw two pick-sixes in last week's 42-21 setback against Middle Tennessee. The Golden Eagles lost 27-19 as 4-point home favorites against UAB last year and they are now 0-4 ATS in the last four head-to-head meetings.

Team to beware: Western Michigan Broncos (1-10 SU, 3-8 ATS)

This week: +35 at Northern Illinois

The 1-10 Broncos are still playing with freshman quarterback Zach Terrell, who has made five starts in place of senior Tyler Van Tubbergen. Only once has Terrell thrown for more touchdowns than interceptions (Western Michigan's lone win of the season, 31-30 scalp of Massachusetts on Oct. 26). Tuesday signals the final home game for Northern Illinois QB Jordan Lynch. He has thrown seven TDs and zero picks in his last four games for the undefeated and 16th-ranked Huskies.

Western Michigan is 1-8 ATS in its last nine conference games, 1-7 ATS in its last eight overall, 2-13-1 ATS in its last 16 against Northern Illinois, and 0-8 ATS in its last eight road trips in this head-to-head series.

Total team: Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (4-7 SU, 2-9 O/U)

This week: 48 at Texas-San Antonio

Louisiana Tech will likely be without running back Kenneth Dixon and wide receiver Andrew Guillot for Saturday's contest at Texas-San Antonio. Dixon (knee) has 151 rushes for 917 yards and four touchdowns (plus one receiving) in 10 games. Guillot (arm) has 26 receptions for 320 yards and four touchdowns in seven games. The Bulldogs have scored 14 points in each of their last two outings. Without Dixon in last week’s loss to Tulsa, they attempted 43 passes and were picked off four times.

The under is 4-1 in Louisiana Tech's last five conference games and 9-2 in its last 11 overall. As for Texas-San Antonio, the under is 7-1 in its last eight against Conference-USA opposition and 5-1 in its last six overall.

2 for Tuesday by Richard Saber

1) W. Michigan +35 at N. Illinois (NCAA fb)

Hate laying this much wood, but the undefeated Huskies can name the score and most likely will. UNI has plenty of incentive, needing a blowout win to stay in the hunt for BCS bowl. UNI.

2) W. Michigan at Northern Illinois (63½)

This was an opening total so we’ll deal with that. Be aware this number likely to change. Northern Illinois has the long home win streak to protect and should score plenty to protect it. OVER.

Richard Saber: Last week 1-1 ATS; 2013 record: 47-43.

2 for Tuesday by Mark Mayer

1) Brooklyn (NL) at Toronto (NBA)

Nets figured to be much improved adding Pierce and Garnett to a solid cast. Now they just look old, losers of 5 straight. Raptors playing well of late, winners of 2 straight and 6-2 ATS in last eight. TORONTO.

2) LA Lakers at Washington (NBA)

The Wizards in a good spot, having gone 3-1 both SU and ATS in last 4 plus having two full off days to prepare for Lakers. First of back to back for LA and still no Kobe. WASHINGTON.

Mark Mayer: Last week 2-0 ATS; 2013 record: 57-35.

California vs. Syracuse: What bettors need to know

California Golden Bears vs. Syracuse Orange (-4.5, OFF)

California will get another chance to solve the zone defense of No. 7 Syracuse when the teams meet Tuesday in the semifinals of the Maui Invitational. The Orange ended California’s season in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last March, holding the Golden Bears to 39.3 percent shooting in the 66-60 victory, including 4-of-21 from 3-point range. The leading scorers for both teams in that game - Syracuse's C.J. Fair and California's Richard Solomon - have returned for their senior seasons.

Fair displayed his toughness in the first-round win against Minnesota, suffering a gash to his cheek when he was hit while going up for a dunk with about 4½ minutes remaining in the first half. He sprung back to finish with team highs of 16 points and 10 rebounds and there’s a good chance the 6-8 Fair will be matched against the 6-10 Solomon. California point guard Justin Cobbs was among those who struggled against the Syracuse defense last March, missing all five of his 3-point attempts, while top reserve Ricky Kreklow was 0-for-2.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN.

LINE: The line opened at -3.5 and has been bet up to -4.5. The total for the game is currently off the board.

ABOUT CALIFORNIA (5-0, 3-1 ATS): Jabari Bird has filled in nicely this season for Allen Crabbe, who was taken 31st overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Draft last June. The 6-6 freshman guard is leading the Golden Bears in scoring at 13.5 while shooting a nifty 12-for-22 from 3-point range. Bird has yet to score double figures in back-to-back games, however, something he’ll probably need to accomplish against the Orange if California is to advance to the championship game.

ABOUT SYRACUSE (5-0, 1-2 ATS): Trevor Cooney has made huge strides over his freshman season, starting with his 27-point performance against Cornell in
the season opener and continuing with his 15-point day in the tournament opener. There’s no secret where the 6-4 guard likes to shoot from as all 11 of his shot attempts against Minnesota came from beyond the arc, resulting in fives makes. Cooney thrives on catch-and-shoot situations, so anytime the Golden Bears can force him to dribble, they’ll be in better shape.

TRENDS:

* California is 5-1 ATS in its last six games overall.
* Syracuse is 2-5 ATS in its last seven games following a ATS win.
* Over is 4-1 in California's last five neutral site games.
* Under is 3-0-1 in Syracuse's last four neutral site games.

TIP INS:

1. California F David Kravish scored a career-high 19 points against Arkansas with 15 rebounds.

2. Syracuse's Jerami Grant is the son of former NBA player Harvey Grant.

3. Solomon is 6-for-15 from the free throw line this season after shooting 65 percent last season.

NCAA Basketball Play of the Day November 26, 2013 3:01 AM by GT Staff

Saint Louis at Wisconsin -1½ at 5:30 p.m. PST

We will lay the small price with the Badgers against a very good Saint Louis squad as the Badgers have gone 9-2 in this young season but like their counterpart the football Badgers they also are hard to beat at home as they have gone 6-0 SU and ATS on their home court.

528 Wisconsin -1½ that's all well and good (wis. 6-0 su/ats @home) but game is in Cancun!
