| NCAA-B | Feb 10 '13 (1:00p) INDIANA U vs OHIO STATE |
OHIO STATE -1½-106 at 5dimes |
| 15* Indiana/Ohio State CBS Early ANNIHILATOR on Ohio State -1.5 The Ohio State Buckeyes should be a much heavier home favorite Sunday over the Indiana Hoosiers. They'll return home highly motivated after a tough 74-76 (OT) road loss at No. 3 Michigan on Tuesday. Now, the Buckeyes take on No. 1 Indiana, which fell at Illinois 72-74 on Thursday. That means Ohio State will have had two extra days to prepare for the Hoosiers, which is a huge advantage. While the Hoosiers have been shaky on the road at times this year, Ohio State has been rock-solid at home. The Buckeyes are 12-1 at home this season, outscoring opponents by a whopping 21.5 points/game. Ohio State is 7-1 SU & 7-1 ATS in its last eight meetings with Indiana. In fact, it is 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings in this series. The Buckeyes are 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in their last four home meetings with the Hoosiers dating back to 2009. The Buckeyes are 10-0 ATS in home games versus good 3 point shooting teams - making >=37% of their attempts over the last 3 seasons. They are winning in this spot by a ridiculous 25.6 points/game. Roll with Ohio State Sunday. |

| NCAA-B | Feb 10 '13 (9:00p) Colorado vs OREGON STATE |
OREGON STATE 0-108 at 5dimes |
| 15* CBB Sunday No-Doubt Rout on Oregon State PK The Oregon State Beavers get the nod Sunday at a pick 'em over the Colorado Buffaloes. I believe the Beavers are not getting the respect they deserve from oddsmakers tonight, which has been the case over the past few weeks, actually. That's evident by the fact that Oregon State is a superb 7-1 ATS in its last eight games overall, consistently being overlooked by oddsmakers. All of their losses have come by 10 points or less during this stretch, and this team is clearly better than its record 12-11 would indicate. Colorado has been a great home team this season, but it has been a different story on the road. The Buffaloes are just 3-6 in true road games this season with losses at Wyoming, Kansas, Arizona, Arizona State, Washington and Utah. Off a big 48-47 win at Oregon on Thursday, Colorado is in a huge letdown spot tonight. The home team is a perfect 6-0 SU in the last six meetings between these teams dating back to 2003. The home team won in blowout fashion in both meetings last season with Oregon State winning 83-69 on March 3rd, and Colorado winning 82-60 on February 2nd. Bet Oregon State Sunday. |

| NCAA-B | Feb 10 '13 (10:00p) WASHINGTON U vs USC |
WASHINGTON U +2½-106 at 5dimes |
| 15* Washington/USC Pac-12 BAILOUT on Washington +2.5 The Washington Huskies should not be an underdog to the USC Trojans tonight. After losing three of their last four games to arguably the three best teams in the Pac-12 in Oregon, Arizona and UCLA by a combined 11 points, the Huskies will come back highly motivated for a victory tonight. Two of those losses came on the road at Oregon (76-81) and at UCLA (57-59), so this team has proven it can play with anyone in the conference anywhere. USC is one of the worst teams in the Pac-12, and it is simply getting too much respect from oddsmakers here. The Trojans (10-13) have been winning their close games of late, proving victorious in three of their last five games overall with those three wins coming by a combined 9 points. Their luck runs out tonight against a much superior Washington team that is clearly better than its 13-10 record would indicate. The Huskies absolutely crushed USC in both meetings last season, and I look for that to be the case again tonight. Washington won 69-41 at home as an 11-point favorite on February 4th, and 80-58 on the road on March 1st. The Trojans will be overmatched in this one as well. This play falls into a system that is 74-38 (66.1%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. It tells us to bet on all teams where the line is +3 to -3 (WASHINGTON) - after having covered 4 of their last 5 against the spread, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team. Washington is 6-0 ATS after a close loss by 3 points or less over the last 2 seasons. The Huskies are 6-0 ATS after scoring 60 points or less over the last 2 seasons. Washington is 7-0 ATS after playing a road game this season. The Trojans are 0-7 ATS as a home favorite of 6 points or less or pick over the last 2 seasons. These four trends combined for a perfect 26-0 system backing the Huskies. Take Washington Sunday. |

| NBA | Feb 10 '13 (6:05p) New Orleans Hornets vs Toronto Raptors |
New Orleans Hornets +4½-108 at 5dimes |
| 20* NBA Non-Conference KNOCKOUT on New Orleans Hornets +4.5 The New Orleans Hornets are showing excellent value as an underdog to the Toronto Raptors Sunday night. The Hornets come in playing great basketball having won each of their last two. They won 93-84 at home over Phoenix before going on the road and knocking off Atlanta 111-100 on Friday. Toronto has lost 10 of its last 14 games overall and it has no business being favored here. That's especially the case considering the Raptors are in a huge letdown spot after their 100-98 (OT) road win at Indiana on Friday. They will have a hard time getting up for New Orleans after such a big victory. The Hornets come in with revenge in mind having lost three straight to the Raptors, including a 97-104 (OT) home loss in their first meeting of the season on December 28th. They did not have leading scorer Eric Gordon (17.0 PPG) in that contest, but he is back and healthy and making a huge difference for this team. New Orleans is 40-21 ATS as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points over the last 2 seasons. The Hornets are 10-1 ATS in road games off an upset win as an underdog over the last 2 seasons. Better yet, New Orleans is 11-1 ATS in road games off an upset win as a road underdog over the last 3 seasons. Bet the Hornets Sunday. |

| NBA | Feb 10 '13 (8:05p) Oklahoma City Thunder vs Phoenix Suns |
Phoenix Suns +9-110 at SIA |
| 15* NBA Sunday Undervalued Underdog on Phoenix Suns +9 The Phoenix Suns are showing solid value as a big home underdog to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The betting public is not going to want to back the Suns after they got throttled 96-127 at Oklahoma City on Friday. However, I'll gladly take advantage and back Phoenix at a great price in the rematch of this home-and-home situation. The Suns want revenge after getting embarrassed, while the Thunder will have a hard time getting motivated to play a team they just beat by 31 two nights ago. Also, Oklahoma City shot out of their mind in Friday's game against the Suns. It shot 57.5% from the field and 14-of-21 (66.7%) from 3-point range. That's not going to happen again, and Phoenix will easily stay within this number, possibly pulling off the upset. This play falls into a system that is 48-21 (69.6%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. It tells us to bet on road teams (OKLAHOMA CITY) - after beating the spread by 30 or more points total in their last five games, on Sunday games. The Suns are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. The Thunder are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. Take Phoenix Sunday. |
