No. 5 MSU travels to Indiana on Saturday
by Mark Kern

Assembly Hall - Bloomington, IN
Tip-off: Saturday, 2:00 p.m. ET
Line: TBD

No. 5 Michigan State looks for its second consecutive road victory to start Big Ten play as it visits Indiana Saturday afternoon.

Last season, these teams played two thrilling games, with the Hoosiers winning both matchups, including a 75-70 victory in Assembly Hall. That gives them three straight wins in this series following a six-game series win streak by the Spartans. Michigan State (7-5 ATS) has bounced back nicely since its lone loss of the season to North Carolina on Dec. 4, winning five straight games by an average of 23.4 PPG. In their last game against Penn State on Tuesday, the Spartans found themselves down seven points at halftime, but cranked up the defensive intensity in the second half to pull away for the easy 79-63 victory, outscoring the Nittany Lions 39-16 after the break. While MSU's offense has been excellent this season with 83.3 PPG (20th in nation), it will be facing an Indiana team that is nearly as potent on the offensive end with 82.0 PPG (28th in D-I). The Hoosiers (6-6-1 ATS) are coming off an 83-80 overtime loss at Illinois on New Year's Eve. While the Hoosiers have done a nice job scoring, they are still gelling as a cohesive offensive unit with only 12.2 APG (234th in nation). If they are going to beat the Spartans on Saturday, they must play together on the offensive end, as Michigan State does not give up many easy baskets.

The Spartans are one of the most balanced teams in the country, with four guys averaging double figures in points. The backcourt of SG Gary Harris (17.4 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 3.0 APG) and PG Keith Appling (15.8 PPG, 4.8 APG, 47% threes) may the be very best in all of college basketball. Appling is an extension of head coach Tom Izzo, directing the Spartans offense to 19.2 APG (2nd in nation) and a strong 48.7% FG clip (31st in D-I). He has grown as a point guard throughout his career, with an impressive 2.6 Ast/TO ratio this season. However, it is not just the terrific backcourt for the Spartans that makes the team so good, as there is a lot of talent in the frontcourt as well. C Adreian Payne (17.0 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 44% threes) and SF Branden Dawson (11.1 PPG, 9.3 RPG, 2.4 APG) do an outstanding job of controlling the pain on both ends of the court, as the Spartans rank 15th in the nation in rebounding (41.5 RPG). Payne has proven to be the type of guy that plays his best in the biggest games, as he averaged 17.5 PPG and 8.0 RPG in the two matchups against the Hoosiers last season. Dawson does a great job of understanding his role for the Spartans, and not trying to do anything more than that, making 59.2% FG. His rebounding has improved mightily this season, as he is averaging 3.4 more rebounds per game than he did last season. Michigan State has national title aspirations, as well as Big Ten title aspirations. For the Spartans to achieve these goals, these are the types of hostile environments that they must be able to win in. It will not be easy though, as they are facing an Indiana team looking to avoid an 0-2 start in conference play.

In the loss to Illinois, PG Yogi Ferrell (17.7 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 4.1 APG) almost single-handedly willed the Hoosiers to a victory. In that game, he scored 30 points (9-of-15 FG), including 5-of-8 from the three-point line with five rebounds and four assists. However, as the case has been this season, the Hoosiers relied too much on one-on-one offense. They had only 11 assists on their 23 field goals, which has been a problem all season. The biggest strength of Indiana this season has been its ability to dominate the glass, ranking 4th in the country with 45.4 rebounds per game. That will be a huge key in this game as the Spartans are once again one of the most physical teams in all of the country. Indiana is a young team, but the talent is there to become a force in the Big Ten. Freshman PF Noah Vonleh (12.3 PPG, 9.5 RPG, 1.1 BPG) is emerging as a legitimate second scorer for the Hoosiers. In the loss against Illinois, he had 16 points, nine rebounds, four blocks and two steals before fouling out. The lone veteran on the team, senior SF Will Sheehey (10.7 PPG, 4.1 RPG) is to the Hoosiers what Dawson is to the Spartans as a versatile player able to contribute in many different ways. But after making 38% of his threes as a sophomore and 35% as a junior, he currently carries a 24% three-point clip (9-for-37) in his senior season. It is still too early to say that the Hoosiers are on the NCAA Tournament bubble, but a win against a national title contender like Michigan State would go a long way in proving that the Hoosiers deserve a berth this season.

No. 7 Duke visits Notre Dame on Saturday
by Robert Livingston

Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center - South Bend, IN
Tip-off: Saturday, 4:00 p.m. ET
Line: TBD

Notre Dame begins its first season of ACC play on Saturday against one of the conference’s toughest teams when No. 7 Duke makes its way to South Bend.

The Irish have suffered some disappointing losses to start the season, notably falling to unranked foes Indiana State and North Dakota State, both at home. They also lost to their only two ranked opponents (Ohio State and Iowa), and currently sit at 4-6-1 ATS overall, including a terrible 1-6-1 ATS at home. Duke's two losses have come against Kansas and Arizona, who were both ranked in the top five in the nation when the defeats occurred. Since the loss to the Wildcats, the Blue Devils have won five in a row (4-1 ATS) and are now 8-5 ATS this season. Their past two wins, against Eastern Michigan and Elon, came by a combined 61 points, but they have not played a true road game all season. Duke's offense ranks 14th nationally with 85.2 PPG, and it is making 50.2% of its shots (9th in nation). These two programs have met only once since Mike Brey, an assistant at Duke under head coach Mike Krzyzewski, took over as the Notre Dame head coach. That meeting occurred in the Round of 32 in the 2002 NCAA Tournament when the top-seeded Blue Devils overcame a seven-point deficit with about six minutes to play and beat the eighth-seeded Irish by a score of 84-77.

Duke’s offense is led by dominant freshman PF Jabari Parker (21.4 PPG, 8.0 RPG), who often plays down low for the Blue Devils but has the athleticism to score from anywhere on the floor. He leads the team in rebounding and is also hitting an impressive 46% of his three-pointers, making 53% FG overall. SF Rodney Hood (17.2 PPG, 5.0 RPG) also has height and versatility (53% FG, 43% threes), and he and Parker form one of the nation’s top-scoring duos. PG Quinn Cook (13.5 PPG, 6.3 APG) runs the offense for the Blue Devils, helping push the pace and make sure everybody gets their touches. He carries an impressive 3.2 Ast/TO ratio and also has at least two steals in five consecutive games and 16 in his past three contests. And off the bench, SG Andre Dawkins (9.6 PPG) is lethal from three-point range, hitting 51% of his tries (30-of-59). Although he hasn't gotten the playing time against top competition, averaging just 3.5 PPG in 7.3 MPG versus large-conference schools (Alabama, Arizona, Michigan and UCLA), he has feasted on smaller schools by averaging a hefty 16.5 PPG in 20.7 MPG against Florida Atlantic, UNC-Asheville, Vermont, Gardner-Webb, Eastern Michigan and Elon. Dawkins has not attempted a two-point basket in any of his past three games, and is averaging 17.5 PPG on 11-of-17 threes (65%) over his past two contests.

Notre Dame lost its leading scorer and passer when it suspended point guard Jerian Grant, who through the team’s first 12 games averaged 19.0 PPG and 6.2 APG. Now the offense should run through more through the post, where C Garrick Sherman (14.5 PPG, 7.6 RPG) and SF Pat Connaughton (13.2 PPG, 7.2 RPG) are both capable of putting up points. Sherman, a 6-foot-11 center, is more of a traditional post player with a 54% FG clip, while Connaughton, a swingman, can stretch defenses, hitting 2.5 threes per game on a 43% accuracy rate. On the perimeter, the loss of Grant will only place more pressure on G Eric Atkins (13.2 PPG, 4.5 APG, 3.4 RPG). In the team’s lone game without Grant, a scary 87-81 overtime win against 12-point underdog Canisius, Atkins was tremendous, scoring 30 points on 10-of-14 shooting, including 6-for-8 from beyond the arc. He also had seven assists, but turned it over seven times in that game too, so others like freshman G Demetrius Jackson (7.3 PPG, 2.0 APG) will have to pick up the slack. In his past five games, Jackson has only two turnovers in 135 minutes on the court, but has just eight assists in this span.

WINNING POINTS

COMPASS BOWL (Birmingham, AL)
Houston over Vanderbilt by 1
Houston opened 5-0 SU/ATS and ended the season on a sweet note, routing SMU
34-0. Their four losses were by 20 points total, two coming on the road vs. top 20
teams. The upgrade over last year’s 5-7 mark was fueled by newcomers. OC Doug
Meacham and DC David Gibbs were smart hires. Meacham is gone, wooed away by
TCU, but the man assuming his play-calling duties, holdover Travis Bush, assumed
that role last year when Mike Nesbitt was forced out in early September. Other newcomers of note were true freshmen John O’Korn and Greg Ward, the latter of whom
will see snaps as a red-zone QB and as a WR. Abetted by a disruptive defense that led
the nation in turnovers gained, giving the offense many short fields, UH had 31 scoring
drives under two minutes. Vanderbilt rebounded from a lopsided loss to Texas A
& M, winning their last four starts while displaying a gnarly defense. James Franklin
is an excellent coach, RB Jerron Seymour has elevated his game, cushioning the departure of Zac Stacy, hyper-productive WR Jordan Matthews will play on Sundays, and the Commodores have two studs in the secondary in Kenny Ladler and Andre Hall.
But Vanderbilt played a weak schedule by SEC standards, opposing only five teams
with winning records, and injuries have left relatively inexperienced Patton Robinette
as the only quarterback on the roster with game experience. If the precocious O’Korn
avoids interceptions (he had only 8 in 399 throws), the Cougars will likely prevail.
HOUSTON 27-26.

WINNING POINTS

NFL WILDCARDS
*Indianapolis over Kansas City by 7
There was a sneak preview of this matchup only two weeks ago and Indianapolis
won, 23-7, at Kansas City. The key question is has anything changed from then?
Not likely. The Colts didn't just win they dominated. Indianapolis not only held
Kansas City to one score, but recorded four sacks, picked off Alex Smith twice and
stopped the Colts on eight of nine third down attempts. Now the Colts are at
Lucas Oil Stadium where they went 6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS this season and are 13-3 SU,
12-4 ATS during the two-year Andrew Luck era. The Colts received their playoff
baptism last season in Luck's rookie season. Kansas City last made the playoffs during
the 2010 season. The Chiefs covered seven of their eight road games, but are
an outdoor grass team that will be playing in a dome for the first time this season.
They lack Indy's playoff experience as new coach Andy Reid has turned over much
of the roster. The Chiefs have feasted on weak teams and their defense has
declined. If you discount their Week 14 game against the hapless Redskins, the
Chiefs have surrendered 184 points in their last six games, which comes out to
30.6 points per game. Kansas City peaked during September and October. The
only teams they have managed to beat during their last six games are Oakland and
Washington. Since their bye in Week 10 and discounting the Redskins game, the
Chiefs have managed only a combined five sacks in six games. That's not going to
cut it against Luck, an elite talent. By contrast, Colts star pass rusher Robert
Mathis led the NFL in sacks with 19.5 and forced eight fumbles. The Chiefs
haven't beaten a top team all season while the Colts knocked of three of the best
teams in the NFL – Denver, San Francisco and Seattle – while proving they can
win in a shootout or in a physical battle. The best team the Chiefs defeated was the
Eagles. Their other victories came against all non-playoff teams - Jaguars,
Cowboys, Giants, Titans, Raiders twice, Texans, Browns, Bills and Redskins. A big
part of Kansas City's success was a plus 22 turnover ratio. Turnovers are hard to
predict, but the Colts were plus 13 in takeaways/giveaways. The Colts committed
the fewest turnovers in the league losing the ball just 14 times. Jamaal Charles is a
magnificent talent. But even with Charles producing a strong game, the Chiefs
managed only seven points against the Colts. Smith is just a glorified game manager,
not the playmaker Luck is. Quarterback matters the most, especially when it
comes to the playoffs. Also, Smith's top downfield threat, Dwayne Bowe, missed
last Sunday with a concussion.
INDIANAPOLIS 27-20.

New Orleans over *Philadelphia by 4
The Saints' road woes are well documented. Still, we're talking about an underdog
that has a top-three quarterback and a much superior defense. Rarely do you find
those kind of pluses when taking points. Keep in mind, too, that while the Saints
own a losing road record, the Eagles didn't post a winning home mark.
Philadelphia also is 3-10-1 ATS the past 14 times when taking on opponents with
an overall winning record. Nick Foles has an insane 27-to-2 touchdown-to-interception
ratio. But the Saints have Drew Brees, who doesn't exactly have shady
quarterback numbers either with a 39-to-12 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Do
you want Brees or Foles, who is unproven in the postseason, going for you? Our
clear choice is Brees. No knock on Foles and LeSean McCoy, who led the league
in rushing with 1,607 yards and set a team record with 2,146 yards from scrimmage.
It's just a question of trust. The Eagles are 6-20-1 ATS in their last 26 games
at Lincoln Financial Field. They won four games last season. Chip Kelly came from
Oregon, build an exciting offense and took advantage of a terrible division. Now
the Eagles have a chance to win their first playoff game since 2008. The Saints
annually make the postseason under Sean Payton and have a Super Bowl title in
their collection. We like Kelly. We like Foles. We just trust Payton and Brees more.
This is especially so given the Saints' defensive superiority. Rob Ryan should be
defensive coordinator of the year for straightening out a huge mess. The Saints
ranked fourth defensively in fewest yards allowed per game at 305.7 and also were
No. 4 in fewest points given up at 305.7. Foles was lucky enough to face soft NFC
East Division defenses. Now he has to deal with Ryan's various blitzes. On the flip
side, the Eagles were terrible defensively in 2012 and they weren't that much better
this season ranking 29th in total defense yielding 394 per game. That's nearly
90 yards per game more than New Orleans. Yes, the Saints are one-dimensional.
They can't run the ball. In today's NFL, which so favors passing and is skewed
toward offense, that's not necessarily a fatal flaw. The Saints can get away with this
facing an Eagles secondary that ranked dead last in pass defense surrendering
almost 290 yards passing per game. Brees not only has a deep set of wide receiving
threats, but also the premier tight end in Jimmy Graham. Nobody caught more
touchdowns this season than Graham, who hauled in 16. Payton also makes up for
a below average ground attack with a deadly array of screen passes that Brees executes to perfection.
NEW ORLEANS 28-24.

Andre Gomes

NFL Wild Card - 101 Kansas City Chiefs @ 102 Indianapolis Colts

***FREE Premium Play***

I expect this contest to be a low scoring game due to the nature of both team’s offensive mindsets and their improved defenses going to today’s matchup.

It’s no secret that KC will try to establish their running game w/ Jamal Charles and control the flow of the game w/ Alex Smith. Meanwhile, the Colts are also a run-heavy oriented team, although lately they are more a pass-control offensive team. Both teams simply don’t want to commit Turnovers and they were great during the regular season in this department w/ IND ranked #1 w/ 0.88 TO/game while IND was #2 w/ 1.12 TO/game.

The h2h between these two teams a couple of weeks ago was exactly decided in the TO battle, because the Colts played a free game, while KC committed a season high 4 TO’s that prevented them to control the clock (only 21:40 vs. 38:20 from IND) and naturally they lost the game.

After some bizarre and humiliating losses against inferior level teams, the Colts played better down the stretch and it was their defense the main catalyst for such improved play as they have allowed only 3, 7 and 10 pts L3 games.

KC defense had a natural letdown in the last weeks as their competition got stronger, but I it’s impossible to ignore the fact that two of their best defensive players Tamba Hali and Justin Houston got injured. The good news is that both will play today and so, we can expect a KC improved defense on the field that had basically two weeks to prepare for today’s game.

With two offenses focused in not committing TO’s and manage the game & two improved defenses, I feel that we are dealing w/ an inflated totals line and that’s why I’m taking the Under in here.
