Maryland Terrapins vs DUKE
DUKE-11½-110
25* ACC GAME OF THE YEAR on Duke -11.5

The Duke Blue Devils are highly motivated for a victory Saturday as they take on the Maryland Terrapins at home. They are coming off their worst loss of the season in a 63-90 setback at Miami on Wednesday. There's no question they will be looking to take out their frustration on the Terrapins Saturday.

Duke is 10-0 at home this season, outscoring opponents by 22.1 points/game. Maryland is just 2-3 on the road this year. The Terrapins are clearly overvalued, and that's evident by the fact that they are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Duke simply owns Maryland, winning five straight and 11 of the last 12 meetings in this series. Each of the Blue Devils' last four wins in this series have all come 13 points or more.

Maryland is 0-8 ATS when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. > 80%) after 15 or more games over the last 3 seasons. The Terrapins are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 vs. a team with a winning record. Maryland is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 games overall. The Terrapins are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 vs. ACC foes. Maryland is 0-7 ATS in road games on Saturday games over the last 3 seasons. The Blue Devils are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. These six trends combine for a perfect 34-0 system backing the Blue Devils. Bet Duke Saturday.

NCAA-B Jan 26 '13 (2:00p)
ALABAMA vs TENNESSEE
TENNESSEE-3-123
15* CBB Saturday No-Doubt Rout on Tennessee -3

The Tennessee Vols are very hungry for a win Saturday when they host the Alabama Crimson Tide. They have lost five of their last six and are desperate for a victory right now. They also want revenge from a 65-68 loss at Alabama in their first meeting of the season on January 12th just two weeks ago.

Alabama is overvalued right now due to its four-game winning streak coming in. It will have a hard time getting motivated to face the Vols again after winning the first meeting. The Crimson Tide are also in a big letdown spot because they are coming off a huge home win over Kentucky 59-55 on Tuesday.

Alabama is 3-15 ATS in a road game where the total is 120 to 129.5 since 1997. Tennessee is 24-10 ATS at home when the line is +3 to -3 since 1997. The Vols are 9-1 ATS off a loss against a conference rival over the last 2 seasons.

The Vols are 7-0 ATS off a road loss against a conference rival over the last 2 seasons. Tennessee is 7-0 ATS in home games off an embarrassing road loss scoring less than 60 points over the last 2 seasons. These two trends combine for a perfect 14-0 system over the last two years backing the Vols. Take Tennessee Saturday.

Oklahoma vs Kansas
Oklahoma+14-110
15* Big 12 GAME OF THE DAY on Oklahoma +14

The Oklahoma Sooners are one of the most underrated teams in the country. They should not be catching 14 points against the Kansas Jayhawks Saturday in a game that I fully expect to go right down to the wire.

Lon Kruger returned all five starters from last season for Oklahoma. Off a down year, this team came into the 2012-13 season undervalued, and they continue to be at this point of the season. The Sooners are 13-4 SU & 9-4 ATS on the season.

Kansas comes in overvalued due to its 17-1 start this season. It is in a huge letdown spot after a big 59-55 road win at Kansas State on Tuesday. The Jayhawks have been shaky in a few home games this season. They needed overtime to beat Iowa State, while also topping Temple 69-62 as a 13-point favorite.

Three of Oklahoma's four losses have come by 9 points or less. Bill Self is 10-20 ATS in home games after 8 or more consecutive wins as the coach of Kansas. The Sooners are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. Roll with Oklahoma Saturday.

NCAA-B Jan 26 '13 (8:00p)
MISSISSIPPI vs AUBURN
AUBURN+7½-110
15* SEC GAME OF THE DAY on Auburn +7.5

The Ole Miss Rebels are one of the most overrated teams in the country this season. They are off to a 16-2 start, which has caught the attention of oddsmakers and the betting public. They should not be laying 7.5 points on the road to the Auburn Tigers Saturday.

Ole Miss has done most of its damage at home this season, but it has just been so-so on the road. The Rebels have road losses to Middle Tennessee State and Indiana State. They also needed overtime to win at Vanderbilt as an 8-point favorite, won at Loyola-Marymount 73-70 as a 9.5-point favorite, and won against San Francisco 85-78 as an 8.5-point favorite in their other three road games.

Auburn comes in undervalued off three straight losses with two on the road to Arkansas and Vanderbilt, as well as a home loss to Kentucky. It will certainly be hungry for a victory to put an end to this skid. Remember, this is the same team that had won three straight against FSU, LSU and South Carolina before this skid.

Auburn is 11-1 ATS after a game - attempting 20+ less free throws than opponent since 1997. The Tigers are 7-0 ATS off 3 straight losses against conference rivals over the last 3 seasons. Auburn is 9-1 ATS after 3 or more consecutive losses over the last 3 seasons. Bet Auburn Saturday.

NBA Jan 26 '13 (8:05p)
Brooklyn Nets vs Houston Rockets
Houston Rockets-2½-110
20* NBA Non-Conference KNOCKOUT on Houston Rockets -2.5

The Houston Rockets are clearly undervalued right now due to losing eight of their last 10 games overall. They should be a much heavier favorite tonight over the Brooklyn Nets, who come in overvalued due to winning 10 of their last 12 games overall.

Brooklyn has been taking advantage of a very easy schedule during its recent run, but it finally met its match last night in an ugly 77-101 loss at Memphis. Houston had played a very tough schedule before getting back on track of late against some softer competition. It won 100-82 at New Orleans last night, which was a win it needed to regain its confidence.

Houston is a perfect 11-0 SU & 8-3 ATS in its last 11 meetings with Brooklyn. It has won all 11 of those meetings by 5 points or more, which dates back to 2006. That makes for a perfect 11-0 system backing to Rockets since 2006 pertaining to tonight's spread of -2.5.

The Rockets are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a S.U. win. Houston is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 games following a SU win of more than 10 points. The Nets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest. Brooklyn is 3-9 ATS in its last 12 games following a S.U. loss. Take the Rockets Saturday

Duke (-12½) over Maryland

1:00 PM -- Cameron Indoor Stadium

DUKE (16-2) -12.5 over Maryland (15-4)
Prediction: Duke by 16-17
Played at Cameron Indoor Stadium (9,314) in Durham, North Carolina
Starting Time: 1:05
TV: CBS

Comments: Duke was absolutely destroyed in its last game, a 90-63 loss at #25 Miami and put its name in the record book for having suffered the third biggest loss in history by a team ranked #1. That’s a throw-out game for me and puts Duke in the strongest bounce-back mode of any team this season. As noted many times, bounce-back teams also need to have the ability to do that and Duke certainly does. The Blue Devils have played the toughest basketball schedule in the country, according to the NCAA, and are meeting a young rebuilding Maryland team that has built up its record against a field of weak opponents this season. I strongly feel Duke will come back today off that dreadful loss and strut its stuff on national TV.

Oklahoma (+13) over Kansas

4:00 PM -- Allen Fieldhouse

Oklahoma (13-4) +13 over KANSAS (17-1)
Prediction; Kansas by 9-10
Played at Allen Fieldhouse
(16,300) in Lawrence, Kansas Starting Time: 4:05
TV: ESPN

Comments: This is another game where the number in simply too high. Oklahoma has talent, is well-coached, has gone 6-3 on the road this season and as it has done all season play to keep this game in the 60s. The Sooners have the ability to do that and that makes the 14 a big number for Kansas to cover. The Jayhawks should get the money but it won’t be easy.

UCLA (-3) over Arizona State

4:00 PM -- Wells Fargo Arena

UCLA (16-4) -3 over ARIZONA STATE (15-4)
Prediction: UCLA by 7-8
Played at Wells Fargo Arena (10,574) in Tempe, Arizona
Starting Time: 4:05
TV: FSN

Comments: UCLA will be without forward Travis Wear (12.2 points, 5.75 rebounds per game) today as the result of a concussion he suffered in his last game, but the figures say it won’t make any difference. UCLA got off to a slow start but is 11-1 in its last 12 game and showed its true strength in its last outing with an 84-73 win at Arizona (16-2). There is every reason to expect the Bruins to play at the same level again today and take down the host Sun Devils who are not as good as their record, having played a very weak schedule.

Temple (+5½) over Butler

6:00 PM -- Hinkle Fieldhouse

Temple (13-5) +5½ over BUTLER (16-3)
Prediction: Butler by 1-2
Played at Hinkle Fieldhouse (10,000) in Indianapolis, Indiana
Starting Time 6:05
TV: ESPN2

Comments: Butler gets leading scorer, guard Rotnei Clark (16.3 points per game), back today and that certainly is a positive note for the Bulldogs. However, it won’t be much of a factor in game in which a patient and talented Temple team will again do as it has done in big games all season—slow things to a walk. This is going to be defensive battle all the way and Temple is as dangerous opponent as Butler will have all season. The Owls are 5-3 on the road this season and showed their ability last month with an 83-79 home win over an outstanding Syracuse team. This one should go right to the money and it will be no surprise to me if Temple wins it straight up
