2-1 (+1.68 Units) - Last Night. While everyone else got exploited by Butler, We continued our winning ways with Marquette, who not only suspended some of their stars for the first half, but stormed back from 15 points down to get a 1 point victory and of course the cover. Yale held down the fort for most of the game and came away with a 7 point win. Loyola however couldn't keep Rider in the barn and end losing for our only loss. Thats now 7 Straight winning days and 8 of the last 9 days. We are up 13 units for the week so lets close out this weekend strong.

Maryland -1 (3 Units) - Georgia Tech has only won once in their last 11 games. Their season is pretty much over while Maryland is still playing pretty good basketball. Maryland still loses to the powerhouses of the division but they find ways to beat the others.

SPORTS WAGERS

WINNIPEG +111 over St. Louis

Barring a major collapse, the Blues are going to the playoffs this year for the first time in three seasons and just the second time since '03. The reason they're going is because of the NHL's second best home record, which sees the Blue Notes with just four regulation losses all year. Away from home is different and the Blues’ sub .500 road record does not warrant them being the chalk here. Only three times this year have the Blues won consecutive road games and they're coming off an OT win in Nashville. This venue is going to be crazy this afternoon, as the Jets start the day in first place in the Southeast for a #3 seed in the conference. The Jets’ 19 home wins are third in the NHL behind only Detroit and St. Louis. Winnipeg is currently on a season-long eight-game home stand. They've picked up seven out of a possible eight points in the first four games with wins over Tampa Bay, Colorado and Boston. In the other game, they lost to Philly in OT. The Jets have scored four goals or more in every one of those games and have scored four or more in five straight. That should bode well here against a Blues team that rarely wins when the opposition scores three or more. Wrong side favored. Play: Winnipeg +111 (Risking 2 units).

NASHVILLE -½ +130 over San Jose

The Sharks will play their eighth straight road game here and will conclude their season long trip tomorrow in Minnesota. In the first six games of this journey they have two wins over two reeling teams, Washington and Toronto. They were clocked by the Jackets 6-3, they lost to Tampa Bay 6-5 and lost to Carolina as well. Against the Maple Leafs on Thursday, they were fortunate to hang on to that 2-1 win, after the entire third period was played in their own end. Frankly, San Jose looks awful. Play has been sloppy, goaltending is shaky and its defense appears to be lost out there. Nashville is not the team you want to be facing when you’re not at your best. The Predators play a sound brand of hockey and rarely beat themselves. They get outstanding goaltending, they have two of the league's premier d-men in Shea Weber and Ryan Suter and offensively, they're scoring goals. The Preds’ last five games have come against Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, Vancouver and St. Louis. They picked up points in four of those games with only miss being in Detroit when the Wings scored with five seconds remaining. The Sharks are widely perceived as being better than the Predators or at least on equal terms but that is a complete misconception. This is a great spot for the host to bury a fragile team playing its eighth successive road game. Play: Nashville -½ +130 (Risking 2 units).

KENTUCKY -11.5 over Vanderbilt: Kentucky is the best team in the nation, but they have been simply awesome at home this year. At Rupp arena the Cats are a stellar 17-0 and have outscored their opponents by 22.4 ppg on their home floor, while in the SEC they have gone 6-0 on their home floor and have outscored those opponents by 19.3 ppg. Vanderbilt is a solid 20-8 on the year, but they come in just 4-3 in their last 7 games and 2-2 in their last 4 on the road. In their last 2 games their offense has really struggled as they put up just 60 ppg on 40.5% shooting in the two games vs Georgia and South Carolina. That's not gonna get the job done here as Kentucky on this floor is allowing just 59.2 ppg on 36.5% shooting for the year. Vandy's defense looked good in their last 2 games, but South Carolina and Georgia are not offensive juggernauts. Vandy has allowed 66.8 ppg on the road this year, but they have given up 73 points or more in 3 of teir last 4 road games. T he Cats are rolling right now and they should have no problems with a Vanderbilt team hat has been mediocre at best of late.

5 UNIT PLAY

Texas -10.5 over TEXAS TECH: I know that Texas is on an ATS run of 8-17-1, but the Red raiders have an ATS mark of 8-20 in their last 28 games at home. Much like the St Mary's play the other night, in which i felt they needed an easy win for confidence, i see the same for Texas here. Good team for texas to be playing here as they have won the last 3 in this series by at least 16 points in each game, while 7 of their last 9 wins in this series has been by at least 12 points. The Red Raiders have been piss poor this year as they are just 1-14 in the Big 12 this year and have been outscored by at least 13 points in 11 of those losses, while being outscored by 17.1 ppg in their Big 12 losses overall. The have just 1 home in in the Big 12 and have been outscored by 20 ppg in their Big 12 losses, with only 1 of those losses coming by less than 13 points. TT is 328th in the nation in scoring at 59.6 ppg and while Texas is just 155th in points allowed (66.2 ppg), they are 58th in defensive FG% (40.6%), which should make it hard for this bad TT offense to get many good looks. The Longhorns are 58th in scoring (73.8 ppg) and they have averaged 69.8 ppg in the Big 12, but I do see them hitting 70 points tonight vs a Red Raiders team that has allowed 68.5 ppg in the Big 12. The Red Radiers have averaged just 50.6 ppg in their last 5 games and they have scored just 52.6 ppg in their 14 Big 12 losses, so I clearly don't see how they get more than 55 in this one, while the Longhorns should hit at least 70 of their own. I'll call for Texas by at least 18 here, as they build confidence for the Post season.

Georgia State/ William & Mary over 127: The Panthers have been playing some higher scoring games of late and yes I know that two of them went to OT, but their last 4 games (regulation only) have still averaged 134 ppg. The GSU offense has been hot of late as they have averaged 68.8 ppg in their last 4 games ( regulation) and will be taking on a William & Mary squad that is just not that great on defense. A couple of games ago the Tribe did allowed just 63 and 54 points to Drexel and Northeastern respectively, but this is still a team that has allowed 71.3 ppg in their last 7 overall and 72.7 ppg at home. The Tribe does average a respectable 66.1 ppg at home, while the Panthers have allowed 61.6 ppg on the road this year and 65.2 ppg (regulation) in their last 4 games overall. I feel the Tribe can get at least 62 in this one, as their offense has been playing pretty well of late and they do score well at home. The Panthers, on the other hand, should hit the 70+ point mark vs a Tribe team that is just not that good on defense. Tribe home games this year have averaged 138.8 ppg on the year, but I will call for something slightly less than that as I see about 132 in this one.

KENTUCKY -11.5 over Vanderbilt: Kentucky is the best team in the nation, but they have been simply awesome at home this year. At Rupp arena the Cats are a stellar 17-0 and have outscored their opponents by 22.4 ppg on their home floor, while in the SEC they have gone 6-0 on their home floor and have outscored those opponents by 19.3 ppg.

The Cats are rolling right now and they should have no problems with a Vanderbilt team hat has been mediocre at best of late.


North Carolina -3.5 over VIRGINIA: The Cavs know how to play some defense, that's for sure, as they come in allowing just 52.1 ppg overall and 48.2 ppg at home this year, but the Heels have a good enough offense to crack their defense. In the first meeting North Carolina was just the second team this year to put more than 61 points on the board (70) vs the Cavs and the only ACC squad to do so. Granted that was at home, but this heels team has a lot of firepower that they can score on anone and anywhere and they do average 76.5 ppg on the road this year. The Heels do allow 71.4 ppg on the road, but their defense overall has played better as they have allowed just 60.5 ppg in their last 4 games and will be facing a Cavs offense that just doesn't score well as they have averaged just 63.1 ppg overall and 66.4 ppg at home. The Heels will get thier points off of this defense, but I just don't see the Cavs scoring enough to keep it close. Heels by 7 or 8 here.

2 UNIT PLAY

Iowa State +7.5 over KANSAS STATE: The Wildcats are off Texas, Kansas and then BB wins vs Baylor and Missouri (both on the road), so they may be a bit spent for this one and Iowa state is more than capable of haning with this team even if the situation was regular. You may see an outright upset here.

1 UNIT PLAY

Old Dominion/ Drexel Over 118.5: ODU's home games have averaged 128.2 ppg, while their last 5 overall have averaged 132.6 ppg. Drexel's last 6 have hit at least 119 poiints, while their last last 5 games overall have averaged 129 ppg. Important game that should be close and we have possibility of OT and a lot of FT's at the end. Mid 120's in this one.
