TEXAS +108 over Missouri

The Tigers come in as the second ranked team in the land while the Longhorns are currently unranked. That's according to the official AP Poll, the most widely recognized of them all. However, there are many polls and one could argue all day about which is the most accurate. These polls don't have Texas in the top 25, yet there are a couple of highly regarded “number crunchers” that insist otherwise. For instance Ken Pomeroy has the Longhorns ranked as high as #20 based on its strength of schedule, which is ranked 13th toughest in the nation while the Tigers schedule ranks 128th toughest. Big difference and when you consider that Texas will play its third road game in past four and third on the road in nine days, it makes the Longhorns even more appealing. Make no mistake, Missouri is a strong team but they really haven't had a difficult schedule, they're a poor rebounding team and they've only played five road games all year. Texas is as battle tested as anyone. They've lost four of five but losses to #7 Baylor, #22 K-State and #4 Kansas are nothing to hang your head over. Against #4 Kansas they lost by three and at K-State they lost by four. On Saturday, the Longhorns lost by five at Baylor. These two played at Mizzou just over two weeks ago. The Tigers won by nine but Texas outrebounded them 41-30 and lost because the Tigers hit 10-21 from long range and got to the line seven more times. Now the venue switches to the Frank Erwin Center, where the Longhorns are 12-1 with only loss coming to #4 Kansas. Mizzou has played just five road games all season and they're just 3-2 in those contests. They lost at Oklahoma State and at K-State and it surely doesn't get easier here. Play: Texas +108 (Risking 2 units).

PHILADELPHIA -7 over Orlando

Before the season began there were many questions about how the Magic were going to perform with an unhappy Dwight Howard setting the mood. A 12-5 start quashed any negativity but it now appears as things could blow up at any moment after three straight losses and four losses in five games. It started with the Magic blowing a 25-point lead against the Celts. They lost at home yesterday by 21 to Indiana. Now Orlando will play its sixth game since last Monday and fourth game in five days. Losing takes its toll and when your star played has been wanting out for months, it's magnified even more. This is about the worst spot possible for Orlando. They beat the 76ers all three times last season and they'll come in here as a fragile and uninspired bunch. Philly must be licking its chops for a chance to get at this team that has not only beaten them three straight but in eight of the past nine meetings. The 76ers are playing great ball and they'ren tei much healthier where it counts most, that being in their collective minds. Play: Philadelphia -7 (Risking 2.04 units to win 2).

Portland +110 over UTAH

A well rested and superior Trail Blazers team offers up much more value than a young and overvalued Jazz team. Utah went on an unlikely run that saw them run its record to 9-4 after opening the year 1-3. They've gone 2-2 in its last four and they're coming off a win on Saturday. In other words, their stock has not dropped much at all and that allows us to take advantage of the wrong side being favored. Utah's last three games are more revealing of who they really are. They lost by 15 to Dallas, they lost at home to the Raptors and they're coming off a narrow three-point win at home over the Kings. The Jazz have some scoring with Al Jefferson, Devin Harris, Paul Millsap and C.J. Miles but all are suspect defensively and this team is oing to take its lumps because of it. The Taril Blazers are a fundamentally sound team that is so tough to beat. They work hard and they play hard on every possession. They come in just a game ahead of the Jazz but they've won three of four and Marcus Camby is coming off a 20 rebound game. The man is a monster in the middle when he's healthy. Bottom line is that the Jazz are much more flawed than the Trail Blazers. For a young team like the Jazz to beat a veteran and more talented team, the situation has to be in their favor and this one is not. Play: Portland +110 (Risking 2 units).
