Ferringo NCAA Hoops

2-Unit Play. Take #607 Fairfield (-5.5) over St. Peter's (7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 19)

The question now becomes, does Fairfield really suck that badly?? The have the best player in the league and a solid veteran backcourt. But they have been a massive mid-major disappointment this year. Can they get it turned around? I think that they can and een if they don't cover here I will feel comfortable coming over the top of this bet when the Stags face Marist this weekend. But I actually think Fairfield will cover both games. They have been a terrible road team, but when you really look at their road losses (at Connecticut, at Drexel, at Manhattan, at Siena in a game Siena played out of its mind) they are all kind of understandable. What worries me is that this Fairfield team doesn't blow people out. But St. Peter's has only beaten one team in the last month - No. 303 Canisius - and they are coming off a game where they shot 46 percent from the floor and 53 percent from 3-point land. They are one of the worst offensive teams in the country so a repeat is unlikely. Fairfield should finally come through for us with this one.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #605 Georgia Southern (+7.5) over Furman (7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 19)

I just don't know how this Furman team can be favored by this many points over anyone. Georgia Southern is a tough team that is in second place in their division. Furman is one of the worst teams overall, period, and they only have five wins since before Thanksgiving. Outside of a blowout over horrible Citadel (which you, me and three other guys could get) this team hasn't done anything impressive in a month. Southern has losses at Davidson and at Wofford, and that's it. They swept two of the better teams - Chattanooga and Appy State - and they have a road win at Elon. This team tested itself in the nonconference and performed pretty well, considering where they were a year ago. I just don't think that they will be blown out here and I definitely think that they can win this game.

1-Unit Play. Take #618 Tennessee Tech (-9) over Jacksonville State (8 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 19)

Here we have the second-best team in the OVC facing the second-worst. Tennessee Tech is in a little bit of an in-between spot here, but I think that they will bounce back after their loss at Murray State last week. This Tech team has played tough at home and they have shown an ability to blow out some bad teams. JSU hasn't won a road game all year and I think that they might actually have a letdown after losing a tough, tough game at home to Austin Peay on Saturday.

1-Unit Play. Take #570 Colorado (-8.5) over Arizona State (8:30 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 19)

Sports Wagers NBA

UTAH -2½ over Dallas Pinnacle
Can't imagine for a second how the Mavericks are going to find some energy or focus here to compete. Of all the teams in the Association, no other squad has felt the wrath of the schedule maker like the Mavs. Dallas played in L.A. against the Clippers last night after a game on Monday night. This will be its third game in four days and tail end of back-to-backs. It will also be its seventh game in nine nights. We should also note the time zone change and high altitude in Utah. Talk about the mental makeup of this team after a buzzer beater by Derek Fisher on Monday and again last night as Chauncey Billups sank a 25-foot 3-pointer with one second remaining to give the Mavs back-to-back heartbreaking losses. Dirk Nowitzki hurt his ankle last night and could see limited minutes. Meanwhile, the Jazz can't wait to get back on the floor and face the champs in what will be an amped up house. Utah has won eight of nine. Its only loss over that span came in OT against the Lakers. They're coming off back-to-back wins over the Clippers and Nuggets, the latter in Denver. The Jazz are an exciting young club. The Jazz are rested, they're winning and are in a prime position to take advantage of an exhausted Mavericks’ squad from the get go. Play: Utah -2½ (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).
MIAMI -5 over L.A. Lakers Pinnacle

Stephen A. Smith, the outspoken TV, newspaper and radio personailty that has made a name for himself covering the NBA has nicknamed LeBron James “The Frozen One”. LeBron's shortcomings have been well-documented and hugely magnified. This is LeBron's chance to prove otherwise on a Thursday night in which there is just one other NBA game being played (just one later game) at the same time (New Orleans/Houston) and this one. It will be seen by basketballers across the nation on TNT. More than that however, is the public's undying support for Kobe Bryant and the Lakers and that's our focus here. L.A. has just one road win this season. That came in OT against the Jazz. Every other loss on the road by the Lakers was by nine points or more and that includes games against Sacramento and Portland. As for the Heat, they've been at home just five games this season. In those games they were a 9½-point choice over Boston, 14 over Charlotte, 9½ over Atlanta, 7½ over Indiana and 7 over the Spurs (minus D-Wade). In other words, the Heat are underpriced here and that's because they're playing the Lakers. This is a opportunity to cash in on this cheap price against a Lakers club that has proven nothing on the road. LeBron makes a statement here to shut up Smith and other detractors. Play: Miami -5 (Risking 2.14 units to win 2).

4 UNIT PLAY

Virginia/ Georgia Tech Over 111: Virginia has played some real low scoring games of late, but their games this year have still averaged 116.3 ppg , while their road games have averaged 127.3 ppg and their 2 ACC games have hit at least 113 points. Georgia Tech has played a bit higher scoring games as their home games have averaged 130.5 ppg, while their last 5 overall have averaged 135.6 ppg. A nice little system goes with this one as well. Play Over - All teams where the total is 119.5 or less (GEORGIA TECH) if they are after a game where a team made 20% of their 3 point shots or worse in a game involving two excellent defensive teams (<=40%). This play is 25-5 since 1997. I expect around 120+ in this one.

3 UNIT PLAYS

North Carolina -6 over VIRGINIA TECH: The Hokies are in a bad spot here after the Heels took a 33 points loss to FSU in their last game after North Carolina breezed through their first 2 ACC games. VA Tech has had some close ones to open up ACC, but they lost all 3. The home team has won the last 4, but after a horrible loss by the Heels in their last game, I expect that trend to turn around. Here is a nice system to support the play. Play against Home teams as an underdog or pick off a loss to a conference rival as a favorite of 6 points or more. This play is 43-10 the last 5 seasons.


Tennessee Tech/ Jacksonville Over 130: Gotta believe the home team that's favored by 9 will be able to dictate pace in this one. Tennessee Tech does like to push the ball, especially when they are at home, where 152.1 ppg have been scored. Tech has allowed 75.8 ppg at home home and that should help a bad Jax State (61.8 ppg) get going in this one. JSU has allowed just 64.4 ppg overall, but Tech does average 76.3 ppg at home and in their last 5 overall they have averaged 77 ppg. The pace that TTU will set should have this game approach the 140's.

2 UNIT PLAYS

Vanderbilt +6.5 over ALABAMA: VANDERBILT is 16-6 ATS in road games versus good ball handling teams - committing <=14 turnovers/game over the last 3 seasons, while ALABAMA is 2-15 ATS after allowing 65 points or less 5 straight games since 1997.


Boston College/ NC State Under 137: Play Under - Road teams where the total is between 130 and 139.5 points after a close win by 3 points or less, with just one or fewer starters returning from last season. This play is 31-11 the last 5 seasons.

1 UNIT PLAY

Fairfield -5.5 over ST PETERS: FAIRFIELD is 12-2 ATS in road games after failing to cover the spread in 3 or more consecutive games since 1997, while ST PETERS is 3-18 ATS in home games after failing to cover 3 of their last 4 against the spread since 1997.
