Game: North Dakota State at I U P U I (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: North Dakota State -13 (-110)
The North Dakota State Bison are off to a 15-3 start on the season, and share the Summit Conference lead at 6-0 with Western Illinois. The Bison are a legitimate NCAA contending mid-major or in this case, lower-tier conference. Two of their three losses have come from the to Big-10 powers Minnesota, and Indiana. They have the savvy to play on the road as their last three road games all resulted in wins by an average of more than 20 points per contest. IUPUI has had a tough season with just four of their six wins coming against Div-1 opponents. They enter this game a very uncompetitive 4-12 ATS on the season, and 9 of their last 10 losses have come by double-digits. The Bison have been cruising to wins and covers vs. below .400 teams at 13-3 ATS in their last 16. Make the play on North Dakota St.

4-STAR Miami over LA LAKERS - People are being awfully quiet here to just write the Lakers season long struggles off as fixed simply because they won two games. Those games came against the Cavaliers and Bucks. Miami is a completely different caliber of opponent. The Heat are motivated after a much more mild recent slump and should keep things going here.
Miami won last night, 92-75 in Golden State. The Heat are 9-0 ATS (10.1 ppg) since January 13, 2006 after a win against the Warriors.
While they are playing a back-to-back, it's not as big a concern because of the rest they've got the past two games. Neither Chris Bosh, nor Dwyane Wade played even 30 minutes in either of the past two games. The Heat are 7-0 ATS (9.1 ppg) since February 14, 2012 after Dwyane Wade played fewer than 30 minutes the last two. Also, the Heat are 6-0 ATS (7.8 ppg) since December 04, 2010 after Chris Bosh played fewer than 30 minutes the last two.
LA is coming off a 104-88 win over Milwaukee Tuesday. They had 30 assists and just eight turnovers in that game with Steve Nash leading the way with 11. The Lakers are 0-15 ATS (-10.0 ppg) since March 02, 2012 after a game at home in which they had an assist to turnover ratio of at least two and one player had at least seven assists.
One trouble spot still was free throws as they went just 10-of-18. The Lakers are 0-12 ATS (-12.0 ppg) since March 26, 2010 with at most one day of rest after a game in which they shot less than 60% from the free-throw line and were not 9+ point dogs. SPORTSBOOK BREAKERS PREDICTION: Miami 103, LA LAKERS 97

Thursday January 17th 2013

Minnesota -2.5 over Michigan
Minnesota is a perfect 10-0 this year at home and not taking anything away from Michigan, but I think their schedule has not caught up with them yet and they are not the best team in the BIG 10. The last two games their shooting has gone cold against decent teams and I expect the same tonight. Take Minnesota.
