Scott Jorgenson +217 over Renan Barao

Renan Barao fights out of the Nova Uniao camp in Brazil and comes into this fight with a near perfect record of 27-1. His last performance being a 1st round submission win over British slugger Brad Pickett. But a closer look at his record reveals that almost all of these wins are over fighters that aren't UFC calibre. Jorgenson has been fighting in the UFC/WEC for the past four years, compiling a very respectabel 9-3 record that includes a decision loss in a title fight to division kingpin Dominic Cruz. A loss that has made him a better fighter. While Berao's last win was impressive, it was his first win over a top 10 bantamweight and it has turned him into an inflated favorite against a guy who has been in the top five for the last couple years. Jorgensen was a three time Pac-10 wrestling champ at Boise State and has rounded out his game with decent striking and a very dangerous submission game. While we wouldn't go so far as to say the wrong fighter is favored, this line is still off, as Jorgensen has the means to put Barao on his back and keep him there for extended periods of time. “Young Guns” gets the decision win and holds up the Barao hype train. Play: Scott Jorgensen +217 (Risking 2 units).

Florida State/ Virginia Over 115.5: Both of these teams have played great defense this year, but I believe the offenses can put up enough to go Over this low OU line. Virginia comes in allowing just 51.1 ppg overall, while allowing just 57 ppg on the road. FSU has played really good defense at home as they have allowed just 58.8 ppg on 36.1% shooting ion their home floor this year. Now over to the offense where we we see that these groups should be able to score on these teams. Virginia has averaged just 64.3 ppg on the year, but they have done so on a solid 46% shooting, while on the road they have averaged 66 ppg on that same 46% shooting. FSU has been a strong offense club at home this year, where they have averaged 78.2 ppg on 48.8% shooting in those games, while in their last 5 games overall they have put up 78.6 ppg on 49.8% shooting. Virginia's games have been low scoring, but their road games have averaged 123 ppg, while their conference road games have averaged 116 ppg, which is just above this total. Ok that's not much leeway, but FSU is the home team and they should have this game more at their pace than Virginia's. FSU's Home games have averaged 137 ppg, while their conference games overall have averaged the same. Their conference home games have been slightly better at 141 ppg. I look for this one to be played in the 120's at least, as FSU should be the game up enough for this one to go Over the total. POWER ANGLE FOR THIS PLAY--- Play Over if the home is an average 3PT shooting team (32-36.5%) but have made 47% or better of their overall shots in 3 straight games if they are playing against a good 3PT defense (<=32%) after 15+ games. This play is 41-13 since 1997.

NOTRE DAME +1 over Marquette: My Irish are just getting no respect. Sure Marquette has won 7 in na row, but Notre Dame has been playing very well of late this year and they are at home. The "Burn" will be in full effect as the Irish pull another Big East upset. NOTRE DAME is 14-5 ATS in home games versus good teams - outscoring their opponents by 4+ points/game over the last 3 seasons and 15-5 ATS off 2 straight wins against conference rivals over the last 3 seasons.

Elite basketball handicapper, the real Matt Rivers of OffshoreInsiders.com has a free pick Saturday on Boston College (+9.5) to Georgia Tech.

Reasoning: The Eagles are one of the worst ACC teams that I have ever seen. I have no idea how Steve Donahue's boys from Chestnut Hill could be as bad as they are but it appears they are.

With the above said though can this pretty wretched Georgia Tech team that has no home court advantage whatsoever really be laying around double digits like this? It's absolutely asinine and in the end I will fade a bad team at this price every day of the week no matter how bad their opponent may be.

Brian Gregory has brought nothing at all to the table in Atlanta and in fact has been awful in replacing Paul Hewitt. Dayton didn't even mind when they lost the coach and I think we're all seeing why. Alexander Memorial Coliseum is being pretty much rebuilt and therefore the Jackets are a nomadic squad splitting its home games at Philips Arena and the Gwinnett Civic Center. They have been routinely pounded in both facilities, including mustering a whole 38 points against Virginia and are a team that has nothing at all going for them.

Boston College is the less talented team on the floor today but bad teams laying big numbers is flat out wrong and this is the epitome of such. Udofia, Rice, Miller and the Jackets probably will pick up a rare win today as the Eagles on the road are inferior. I like to use an analogy which fits to a tee here, BC is a 16 on the Black Jack table but the Yellow Jackets are a 6 and in the end I'll take my chances in that spot as they are in that bust position making me feel alright about this poor hand that I have been dealt.

Top expert pick on this game: Boston College from Matt Rivers

I did it again yesterday as the 400,000* on Loyola, Md. was a total joke. There is no doubt whatsoever as to who the best handicapper on the planet is. Loyola. The Greyhounds were up by a billion pretty much right off the bat and another 400,000* play cashed that ticket. It's now eight of 11 winning days, a 12-4 overall run in which my teams have covered by an amazing 76 1/2 point and 2.8 million stars of profit.

And today is the biggest and most powerful play of all, literally! I am raising that bar and completely destroying the Crookie and I mean destroy. 500,000* Lock of my Life Kansas-Missouri along with a 7:00 200,000* bonus dog that will cover the number going away!

#13 UNLV Runnin Rebels (21-3, 5-1) vs. Wyoming Cowboys (17-5, 3-3)

Odds: UNLV -4

The University of Wyoming bench is going to have their hands full when they welcome the #13 UNLV to Laramie today. But if they can handle the Running Rebels, they’ll definitely have a shot at getting in the hunt for the Mountain West prize.

So how do the g Cowboys and their 65 ppg average hope to slow down the eighth top scoring tema in the NCAA? UNLV is clocking in around 80 points a game and has only lost one of their last fourteen games. In fact, the Runnin Rebels have only dropped three games all season and two of those were against ranked opponent, so Wyoming is out of luck on that count.

#22 San Diego State, the last team to beat UNLV, did by holding them to only 67 points. Wyoming did hold SDSU to only 52 points, so a big night for the Cowboy defense isn’t unthinkable.

UNLV struggled a bit in late January and nearly gave up two games to unranked opponents, including a 77-72 OT win against struggling Boise State. But they roared back to life on Wednesday with a decisive 82-63 win against the 14-7 Colorado State Rams.

That victory was lead by the hot hands of Oscar Bellfield (9.7 ppg) and Chance Stanback who each put up 16 points. Bellfield had been in something of a slump in late January and only scored six points in games against New Mexico and TCU.

Wyoming is coming off of a tough 58-52 loss against TCU on Monday. The Cowboys looked great in the first half, but let the Horned Frogs get away with a 14-2 run in the second that left them badly demoralized. (And a 32 percent shot average from the field didn’t help things either.)

It seems pretty unlikely that the Cowboys will pull off the upset here. UNLV isn’t slumping; they’ll be taking everyone seriously this time of year; and they’re really, really good.

The pick: UNLV -4 from The Canadian Crew

What to watch: College basketball betting TV guide

Syracuse Orange at St. John’s Red Storm, 12 p.m., ESPN (+12.6, 136)

Fab Melo is back – just maybe not in the starting lineup. The center who missed the past three games due to academic reasons has been cleared to play, but coach Jim Boeheim remained undecided if the sophomore would be immediately reinserted into the first unit. Melo averaged 7.2 points and 5.7 rebounds per game with a team-high 60 blocks before his suspension.

“He’s got to get back to work and get back into the flow of the game,’’ Boeheim told the Syracuse Post-Standard. “We’ll have to wait and see. We’ll see how he reacts to being out.’’

Marquette Golden Eagles at Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 1 p.m., CBS (1, 129)

Don’t expect a lot of points for the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame has won three league games where it has shot worse than 37 percent from the floor – against Louisville (31.7), at Seton Hall (35.1) and against UConn (36.2). But the team has countered its poor offensive output by playing at a snail’s pace and ratcheting up the defense.

Not only have the Fighting Irish given up an average of just 45 points the past two games, but the team has held its past three opponents to a combined four fast-break points.

“We understand each other, how to rotate,” Notre Dame coach Mike Brey told reporters. “And we're keeping people for the most part to one-and-done.”

Ohio State Buckeyes at Wisconsin Badgers, 2 p.m., ESPN (2, 115.5)

Ben Brust is finally healthy. The Wisconsin guard and dynamic bench scorer has battled an illness that had him drop six pounds and forced him to play a season-low 11 minutes in a mid-week win at Penn State. Brust, who averages 9.3 points per game, missed all four of his field goals and committed a turnover in the victory over the Nittany Lions.

“I tried to put all my best energy out there,” Brust told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. “But shots weren’t falling. Maybe fatigue, maybe not. I feel 1,000 times better.”

North Carolina Tar Heels at Maryland Terrapins, 4 p.m., ESPN (13, 150.5)

Sophomore Terrell Stoglin is giving the Terrapins a chance to win every game. The ACC leading scorer averages 21.8 points per game and is coming off his third 30-point performance of the season as he dropped a career-high 33 in a 90-86 double-overtime loss at Miami this week. Stoglin made just six of a school-record 20 3-pointers but he was a perfect 9 of 9 from the free-throw line and committed a mere three turnovers.

“If we popped in a film from Day One until now, I think you'd just be shocked how much better the kid is," Maryland coach Mark Turgeon told the Baltimore Sun. "He doesn't totally know how to play a certain way for us to win. In his mind, he's got to shoot every time for us to win. He's trying to figure it out."

Air Force Falcons at Colorado State Rams, 5 p.m., CBS College Sports (-8, 125.5)

Pierce Hornung needs to shrug off his most recent performance. Hornung, who missed extended time earlier this season with a concussion, had a horrific 31 minutes in a blow-out loss at UNLV, finishing with four points and three turnovers before fouling out. Hornung is the team’s top reserve and averaging 7.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game.

"We still have to prove it, but I think a lot of people have underestimated us,” Colorado State coach Tim Miles told the Denver Post. “We're not out of the woods, but I think we could show some people moxie I don't think they thought we had."

Indiana Hoosiers at Purdue Boilermakers, 7 p.m., Big Ten Network (-3.5, 143)

Terone Johnson made the most of a shot at the starting lineup at Northwestern. The sophomore guard delivered with the first unit in a mid-week win over the Wildcats, posting a team-high 14 points to go with three assists, two rebounds, two blocks and two steals. But is it enough to keep him with the starting five? Coach Matt Painter wouldn’t tip his hand.

"I thought he responded well to starting,” Painter told the West Lafayette Journal and Courier. “Sometimes, guys start, and it doesn't help them. Today, it looked like it did help him starting and being comfortable out there."

Kansas Jayhawks at Missouri Tigers, 9 p.m., ESPN (-3, 147.5)

Marcus Denmon is in the biggest slump of his career. The Missouri guard shot 50 percent from the floor and nearly 45 percent from 3-point range last season but has been much colder this season and downright frigid his past eight games. Over that span he is shooting a mere 31 percent with his woes coming to a head in a win over Texas earlier this week where he made just three of his 12 shots while missing all three of his 3-point attempts en route to a season-low six points.

“A guy like him, he knows he’s not shooting the ball well, so what do I need to talk to him about it for?” Missouri Coach Frank Haith told The Columbia Tribune. “All I need to do is continue to talk to him about taking good shots.”

Hockey Night In Canada: NHL betting preview

Toronto Maple Leafs at Ottawa Senators (-135, 5.5)

Precious points are on the line in the home of the All-Star Game. The Eastern Conference playoff race is headed for the home stretch, and these two rivals are jockeying for position at the bottom of the mix.

The trials of topsy-turvy Toronto

It seems that the Maple Leafs are quite content being one of the league's most inconsistent teams. Of course, that's just fine when things are going well, and right now, they are on the upswing. Toronto has points in its last four games and has won three of those outings.

Even forgotten goaltender James Reimer got into the act Wednesday, as he blanked the surging Penguins 1-0 in Toronto, making 25 saves. He doesn't lead the Maple Leafs in wins (Jonas Gustavsson, 16) or goals-against average (Gustavsson, 2.77), but the netminder who entered the season as Toronto's No. 1 will still be a vital part to the postseason push. Anything that builds his confidence is a plus for the Maple Leafs. With two consistent goaltenders in the fold, Toronto will have a major advantage over the rest of the playoff hopefuls.

Back on home ice... finally

After hosting All-Star Week festivities in their city, the Senators have had a slow week. Headed into Friday night's game against the Islanders, Ottawa had only played one tilt since the break - a 4-3 loss to the Bruins in Boston Tuesday. The Sens blew a 3-1 lead and didn’t have a single power play in the road defeat.

But the weekend brought hope to Ottawa, the Eastern Conference's biggest surprise this season. The Senators, who before Friday hadn’t hosted a game since Jan. 16, entered the Islanders game in sixth place in the conference with 60 points. And the better news is that January - a month in which Ottawa lost its final four games - is over.

Armstrong’s arrival

Toronto forward Colby Armstrong won't light the lamp much for the Maple Leafs the rest of the way, but the team is happy to have him back nonetheless. Armstrong returned from a concussion in the win over Pittsburgh Wednesday. It was just his 10th game of the season.

Armstrong played well, posting three shots on 12 shifts for 10:27 of ice time. He's still looking for his first goal of the season and he has just one point all year. But the 2001 first-round draft pick of the Penguins is back and can be that grinder that coach Ron Wilson needs down the stretch.

History

Ottawa has won the last three in this great rivalry, including a 3-2 decision on Jan. 17. Toronto has won just one of the four meetings this year and just four of the last 10 against the Senators overall. Eight of the last 10 Maple Leafs games have gone under.

Detroit Red Wings at Edmonton Oilers (140, 5.5)

Here comes big, bad Detroit, the Western Conference’s No. 1 seed. And waiting to welcome them? The Edmonton Oilers who have just 45 points. But funny things happen on Hockey Night in Canada.

Super Sam

The Oilers would have taken a win over the Blackhawks any way they could have gotten it Thursday. But the way they orchestrated the surprising 8-4 decision - thanks to Sam Gagner - made it even sweeter. Gagner had four goals and four assists to tie an Oilers record of eight points in a single game.

Gagner now is among elite Oilers company. Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey both achieved that feat before, and he ended the game just two points away from the NHL record of 10, established by Toronto’s Darryl Sittler on Feb. 7, 1976.

The amazing thing is that Gagner is just 22 years old and had only five goals on the year before Thursday night.

Deep getting deeper

The Red Wings, who outlasted Vancouver 4-3 in a shootout Thursday, were happy to see forward Tomas Holmstrom back in the lineup against the Canucks. Holmstrom sat out Tuesday’s 3-1 win in Calgary with soreness in both knees. He had injections last week and was able to rest through the All-Star break, but still needed some extra time.

Holmstrom took 14 shifts in the win and had 11:08 of ice time. He registered two hits as Detroit won for the ninth time in its last 10 tries. Holmstrom has eight goals and 18 points in 44 games this season.

Joltin’ Jordan

Lost in the glory of Gagner Thursday night was a milestone for Edmonton right wing Jordan Eberle. The youngster, who has produced in good times and bad this season for Edmonton, had four points against Chicago, including three assists.

Eberle reached the 20-goal mark and now has an even 50 points. He had five shots on goal in the victory, and a block as well. And for those tracking tonight's matchup, Eberle had a goal and three shots in a 3-2 loss to Detroit on Dec. 19.

History

Detroit has won the last seven installments of this series, including that aforementioned 3-2 decision in December and a 3-0 victory on Nov. 11. The last three games between these two have gone under. Edmonton has just one over in its last four overall.

Pick 'n' roll: Saturday's best NBA bets

Golden State Warriors at Sacramento Kings (-1.5, 199.5)

You can’t say that Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson doesn’t have the pulse of his team.

He kept starters Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry and Andris Biedrins on the bench for almost all of the fourth quarter when these two teams met on Tuesday. The move wasn’t meant to punish his stars, he was just riding his team’s momentum and the Warriors came away with a 93-90 comeback win.

After getting that rest, Ellis and Curry combined for 62 points in Thursday’s 119-101 blowout victory over Utah.

"At their best, I'd put them up against anybody in the game," Jackson said of his two sharpshooters. "We know what they're capable of doing. The challenge to them is not to tease us."

Golden State has now won a season-high three straight games should be able to get the better of Sacto again if they can keep this rotation going.

Pick: Warriors

Los Angeles Clippers at Washington Wizards (7.5, 199)

The Clippers are the toast of Los Angeles right now, but they’re not going to cruise through this season without some bumps along the way.

They hit a major pothole in the road Thursday when they were blown out by the Denver Nuggets 112-91 as 1-point favorites, snapping the club’s four-game winning streak.

The Clippers came out like a house on fire, opening up a 13-point lead in the first quarter, but then found themselves trailing by 19 at the end of the third frame.

"It's real crazy," Chris Paul told reporters after the game, "but that's been a thing for us this season. We get off to really good starts and our second quarters haven't been the best. Like we've been saying about a lot of things, we're still a work in progress."

After a little rest, expect the Clippers to take their frustrations out on the Wizards, who were spanked by the lowly Raps on Friday night.

Pick: Clippers

College funds: Saturday's best NCAAB bets

Kansas Jayhawks at Missouri Tigers (-3, 147.5)

The stakes are always high when border rivals Missouri and Kansas get together, but the intensity might be at an all-time crescendo when the No. 4 Tigers host the No. 8 Jayhawks at Mizzou Arena.

Not only are the teams squaring off for the 15th time when both are ranked in the top 10, but both are also in contention for the Big 12 title, and perhaps a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. To add to the atmosphere, ESPN’s College Gameday has selected Mizzou Arena as the site for its broadcast for the first time in school history.

This also could be the last season the archrivals meet for the foreseeable future, with Missouri headed to the Southeastern Conference next season.

The senior-laden Tigers are led by guard Marcus Denmon, whose 17.2 points per game ranks fourth in the Big 12, and forward Ricardo Ratliffe, who leads the nation in field goal percentage (75.1) and scored 14.7 points per game.

That experience could be the difference.

Pick: Tigers

Iowa State Cyclones at Oklahoma Sooners (-1.5, 139.5)

There shouldn't be any shortage of offense when these two teams hook up.

Something will have to give as Iowa State and host Oklahoma enter as two of the Big 12’s worst defensive teams. The Cyclones are eighth in scoring defense (66.6 points) and ninth in field goal percentage defense (43 percent), while the Sooners are last in points allowed (68.1) and eighth in field goal percentage defense (42 percent).

The Cyclones have climbed to fourth in the Big 12 in field goal percentage (45 percent), thanks in large part to a stretch of four wins in five games. In those five contests, Iowa State is shooting 45 percent (120 of 266), including 51 percent in the recent victory over Kansas State.

Royce White is among the Big 12 leaders in a number of categories, including rebounding (second, averaging 9.5) and field goal percentage (fourth, 54 percent). In the last five games, the redshirt sophomore is averaging 9.2 rebounds and shooting 55 percent, while averaging 15.8 points, nearly two points better than his season scoring average.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma has three players averaging better than 12 points per game. That depth and home court should get the Sooners through this test.

Pick: Sooners

[poopoo333]

Ice picks: Saturday's best NHL bets

New Jersey Devils at Philadelphia Flyers (-160, 5.5)

The Philadelphia Flyers began their recent hot streak by defeating the New Jersey Devils on Jan. 21. The 4-1 triumph in the Garden State ignited a 3-0-2 stretch for Peter Laviolette's club, which sits just three points behind the Atlantic Division-leading New York Rangers.

The Flyers will look to maintain their recent mastery of the Devils when the two teams meet in the City of Brotherly Love on Saturday afternoon. Philadelphia is 2-0-1 against New Jersey this season. Wayne Simmonds has fared well versus the Devils, scoring a goal and setting up two others in the teams' last outing.

Simmonds also tallied twice in the Flyers' 4-1 victory over the streaking Nashville Predators on Thursday and sits one goal shy of matching his career high.

For its part, New Jersey won its second straight after overcoming a pair of two-goal deficits to post a 5-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday.

Looks like we're in for some offense in this matinee.

Pick: Over

San Jose Sharks at Phoenix Coyotes (115, 5)

The San Jose Sharks have certainly found their offense over the All-Star break. After scoring just six goals in their previous four games, the Sharks have exploded for 11 in a pair of wins since returning to action.

Coach Todd McLellan's club will look to continue its scoring ways on Saturday when it visits the desert to face the Pacific Division foe Phoenix Coyotes. San Jose has dominated the rivalry as of late, winning three in a row and 10 of 12 versus Phoenix.

All-Star C Logan Couture extended his point streak to five games with a goal and an assist in Thursday's 5-2 victory over the Dallas Stars. Couture, who has collected three goals and five assists during the stretch, has recorded eight points in as many career games versus the Coyotes.

While San Jose has ascended to the top of the division, Phoenix has plummeted into fourth place in the Pacific after losing 13 of its last 17 contests (4-8-5). The Coyotes dropped to 1-2-1 on its current six-game homestand with Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the division cellar-dwelling Anaheim Ducks.

We like the Sharks to keep it going, but with this price tag we'll look at the over.

Accuscore - NCAAB - Jonathan Lee

Syracuse -12 at St. John’s
I like Syracuse to win big in this game because Syracuse is BIG. Fab Melo is back for the Orange, and will help provide a significant size advantage inside. The Cuse struggled some defensively without Melo in the middle, but his presence should make a nice difference.

Virginia +5 at Florida State
The computer point spread for this game is Florida State -3. Both computer ATS records are positive for games involving either team. Tony Bennett has long played one of the slowest, most controlled tempos in college basketball. The Seminoles offense varies wildly from game to game allowing them to blow out the likes of North Carolina and then struggle to reach 20 points in a half just days apart.

Ohio State -2 at Wisconsin
The Badgers are terrific in their own right, and will be at home but Ohio State is slightly underappreciated as an elite team. Wisconsin also appears to struggle a bit against elite level competition while really blowing out teams that are not up its level. The Buckeyes are definitely a threat for the national title, and a win would go a long way in securing a Big 10 title and a potential number one seed in the NCAA tournament.

Oregon State -13 at Utah
The Beavers did get blown out at Colorado, but this is the easier end of this Pac-12 swing. Oregon State is great at forcing turnovers with their pressure and trapping defenses. Utah conversely is one of the worst teams in the country in taking care of the basketball with not much talent on the roster particularly in the backcourt. The athletic Beavers should force plenty of turnovers and get out in transition. Look for Jared Cunningham to have a big, big game.

Manhattan +2.5 vs. Iona
Manhattan is favored by a point by the computer, but Iona is giving 2.5 points. That’s a nice value for a game that appears to be a toss-up especially with the Jaspers at home. Manhattan is 17-5 against the spread this season.

Troy vs. Louisiana-Lafayette Under 146.5 Points
The difference between the sim line and betting total is 5.5 points, the highest of any game on Saturday. The under occurs in 57.3 percent of simulations.
