2 Star Selection
West Virginia (+9 ½) over SYRACUSE
28-Jan-12 10:00 AM Pacific
West Virginia is coming off an ugly 62-78 loss to St. John’s as a 7 ½ point home favorite, but I expect Bobby Huggins to have his team ready for a very good effort today. West Virginia has covered 7 straight times after a loss and Huggins’ teams are 85-49-4 ATS after a loss, including 48-9-2 ATS after a loss of 8 points or more. West Virginia also applies to a solid 86-44-3 ATS bounce-back situation that is based on their upset loss to St. John’s. My ratings favor Syracuse by 10 ½ points using all games for each team but the Orange aren’t likely to be as good without defensive force Fab Melo, who averaged an incredible 3.0 blocks per game through the first 20 games before missing the last two games due to academic issues. The Orange lost to Notre Dame and struggled a bit in a 7 point win over Cincinnati in two games with Melo while averaging 4.0 blocks rather than they 7.8 blocks that they averaged with Melo. I think the line on this game should be 9 points with Melo out and I certainly don’t mind taking Bobby Huggins’ team after an ugly loss. I’ll take West Virginia in a 2-Star Best Bet at +9 points or more and for 3-Stars at +11 or more.
Play Strength: 2-Stars at +9 or more.
3 Star Selection
Buffalo (-14) over NORTHERN ILLINOIS
28-Jan-12 10:00 AM Pacific
Northern Illinois is one of the worst teams in the nation and the Huskies are now without their leading scorer and rebounder Tim Toler, who was dismissed from the team. The Huskies apply to a negative 27-68-1 ATS situation that plays against horrible teams as home underdogs and Buffalo applies to a very good 187-90-6 ATS road favorite momentum situation that applies at -15 points or less. My ratings favor Buffalo by 16 ½ points without adjusting for Toler and I calculate his value at close to a point. I’ll take Buffalo at -15 points or less in a 2-Star Best Bet and for 3-Stars at -14 or less.
Play Strength: 2-Stars at -15 or less, 3-Stars at -14 or less.
2 Star Selection
NORTH TEXAS (-4 ½) over Arkansas State
28-Jan-12 10:00 AM Pacific
North Texas has covered the spread in 7 consecutive games and I’ve been on the Mean Green as a Best Bet 4 times during that run. I see no reason to stop now, as North Texas hasn’t missed #2 and #3 scorers Chris Jones and Jordan Williams (both academically ineligible) in the two games that they’ve missed so far. Without Jones and Williams, star Tony Mitchell will take more shots, which is a good thing considering his 63% shooting percentage. Mitchell scored 30 points and grabbed 17 rebounds in an upset over Denver in the first game without Jones and Williams and North Texas covered the spread in a 2 point loss at UL Lafayette on Thursday despite Mitchell being in foul trouble (he played just 17 minutes and scored only 11 points). My ratings favor the Mean Green by 8 ½ points and I’ll take North Texas in a 2-Star Best Bet at -5 or less.
Play Strength: 2-Stars at -5 or less.
2 Star Selection
ALABAMA (-10 ½) over Arkansas
28-Jan-12 10:45 AM Pacific
Arkansas has been a bad road team for years (59-114-6 ATS since‘93/’94) and the Razorbacks are 9-32-1 ATS on the road the last 5 seasons, including 0-4 ATS this season under new coach Mike Anderson. Anderson doesn’t figure to end the trend of bad road play, as his teams at Missouri and Arkansas are 9-33 ATS on the road against teams with win percentage of .550 or higher. My ratings favor Alabama by 13 points using a standard home court advantage, so there is certainly value in going against Arkansas on the road again. I’ll take Alabama in a 2-Star Best Bet at -11 or less.
Play Strength: 2-Stars at -11 or less.
2 Star Selection
UL Lafayette (-7 ½) over UL MONROE
28-Jan-12 02:00 PM Pacific
UL Monroe is just 1-12 ATS in their last 13 lined home games and the Warhawks apply to a 19-69 ATS weak home court situation. Monroe has lost 6 of their 9 home games by 12 points or more despite facing a schedule that is 2 ½ points easier, on average, than UL Lafayette’s rating. My ratings favor UL Lafayette by 9 points and I’ll take UL Lafayette in a 2-Star Best Bet at -9 or less.
Play Strength: 2-Stars at -9 or less.
