NFL injury report: Four injuries undervalued by oddsmakers
By MONIQUE VÁG

The NFL playoffs are in the second round as teams move closer towards making the Superbowl. Here are some notable injuries that may have an impact on the scoreboard.

Pierre Thomas, RB, New Orleans Saints (Chest, Questionable)

The Saints beat the Eagles last week on the road without Thomas by dominating the time of possession 34:53 to the Eagles 25:07. The high scoring Saints put up 249 passing yards and 185 rushing. New Orleans faced a defense ranked 29th in total yards allowed and dead-last in average passing yards allowed a game. In the second round, New Orleans travels to Seattle and face a defense ranked first in scoring points, yards allowed and against the pass. The Seahawks rank seventh against the rush. The presence of Thomas will be missed against the only area that hasn’t been completely perfect for the Seahawks.

The Saints are 8-point road underdogs against the Seahawks. The total is 46.

Aaron Dobson, WR, New England Patriots (Foot, Questionable)

The New England Patriots are coming off an extra week of rest after securing the No. 2 seed in the AFC with a 12-4-0 record. The Patriots ended their regular season campaign with a +9 turnover ratio and the third most points scored averaging 27.8 a game. The Patriots are ranked no worse than 10th offensively and have put up a great season despite players battling serious injuries. This week is no different for the Patriots with both rookie wide receivers listed as questionable (Dobson and Kenbrell Thompkins). Both rookies are tied for second on the team in touchdowns (4) and are ranked fifth and sixth respectively in receptions and have accumulated over 450 yards each.

The Patriots are 7-point home favorites against Indianapolis. The total is 51.5.

Steve Smith, WR, Carolina Panthers (Knee, Questionable)

The Panthers have been fantastic defensively all season and the team’s +11 turnover ratio is a huge reason why they locked up a first round bye. Despite his age, Smith has proven once again that he’s capable of being a high-impact wide receiver. Over 15 regular season games Smith had 64 receptions for 745 yards and four touchdowns, ranking him second on the team in receptions, total yards, and touchdowns. Carolina will be missing their star player and motivator Saturday hosting a 49ers team coming off a high defeating Green Bay on the road.

The Panthers are 1-point home favorite over San Francisco. The total is 42.

Eric Weddle, S, San Diego Chargers (Hamstring, Questionable)

The Chargers travel to Denver facing a Broncos team ranked first in points scored, passing yards and total yards. Safety Eric Weddle leads the Chargers in combined tackles with 115 and interceptions with two. The Chargers weakness of pressuring the quarterback and getting sacks may come back to haunt them against a Broncos team who has 75 percent of their offensive touchdowns coming through the air (55/73). Even though the Chargers and Broncos split their regular season series win total, oddsmakers don’t feel the post-season match up will be close.

The Chargers are 9-point road underdogs against the Broncos. The total is 54.5.

Tale of the Tape: New Orleans Saints at Seattle Seahawks

A spot in the NFC Championship Game is at stake Saturday afternoon when the Seattle Seahawks entertain the New Orleans Saints.

The Seahawks boast one of the most impressive home-field advantages in pro sports - and will get an added boost with the return of star wide receiver Percy Harvin. The Saints are no pushovers, boasting a top-flight offense led by Drew Brees and an underrated defense that should give Seattle fits.

Here is the breakdown in our betting tale of the tape:

Offense

Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson didn't dazzle like some of the league's top signal-callers, but he was effective when he needed to be. The Seahawks finished 26th in the league with just 3,236 passing yards, but Wilson threw for a respectable 27 touchdowns with nine interceptions - the second-lowest total in the NFL. Wilson did contribute greatly to a Marshawn Lynch-led rush attack that compiled the fourth-most yards in football (2,188), racking up 14 scores.

Brees didn't return to the 5,000-yard passing club in 2013, but was still one of the top options in the NFL with 4,943 passing yards, 39 touchdowns and just 12 interceptions. That said, the veteran signal caller struggled in last week's victory over Philadelphia (249 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT) and will likely find the sledding even tougher against a stout Seattle defense. New Orleans ranked 25th in rushing yards during the regular season but had 185 in the victory over the Eagles.

Edge: New Orleans

Defense

The Seahawks rose to prominence on the strength of the best pass defense in the league. Seattle limited opponents to a paltry 2,752 passing yards - more than 350 fewer than the second-place Saints - while giving up just 16 touchdowns through the air and snagging a league-best 28 interceptions. The Seahawks were slightly more charitable in the running game - allowing the seventh-fewest yards - but surrendered only four scores on the ground while forcing seven fumbles.

Few teams can match what Seattle does on the defensive side of the ball, but New Orleans has proven throughout the year to be one of those teams. The Saints held foes to just 194 passing yards per contest while allowing 20 touchdowns and racking up 49 sacks - five more than the Seahawks. Like Seattle, New Orleans is more susceptible in the rushing department. The Saints allowed 1,786 yards on the ground while surrendering 11 scores and forcing three fumbles.

Edge: Seattle

Special Teams

The Saints had one of the worst return games in the league this season, averaging a paltry 6.1 yards on 32 punt returns - the third-lowest mark in the NFL - and an even 23 yards per kickoff return with a long attempt of 82 yards. New Orleans struggled against opposing kickoff returns - allowing 25.2 yards per attempt - but limited foes to 7.5 yards per punt return. Veteran kicker Shayne Graham is 6-for-6 since replacing the ineffective Garrett Hartley in Week 16.

Seattle had the 27th-best kick-return average during the regular season (21.2), but finished ninth in the league in punt-return average (11.1) on a whopping 52 opportunities. The Seahawks were near the middle of the pack in kickoff-return average against (24) but held opponents to a paltry 3.9 yards per punt on 21 attempts. Kicker Steven Hauschka was nearly automatic, connecting on 33-of-35 field-goal chances - including 14-of-15 from 40 yards and beyond.

Edge: Seattle

Notable Quotable

"They did a lot of things well. They rushed the passer well. They covered well. We didn't feel like, at the end of the day we felt like we didn't have much rhythm, we didn't have many opportunities ... the more balanced you can be is better." - Brees on the Saints' Week 13 loss in Seattle

"We're really a very disciplined, film-watching football team. I think when you work that hard, when you study that hard, when you're not out partying and you're spending that time watching film, and getting ready for your opponents, it benefits you." - Seahawks defensive back Richard Sherman

Tale of the Tape: Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots

One of the NFL's best veteran quarterbacks tangles with one of the league's top young gunslingers as Tom Brady leads the New England Patriots against Andrew Luck and the visiting Indianapolis Colts in Saturday night's AFC Divisional Round playoff game.

Brady and the Patriots enjoyed a first-round bye after posting a 12-4 regular-season record, including an 8-0 mark at Foxboro. Luck and the Colts rallied from a 28-point deficit to stun Kansas City 45-44 in last week's wild-card showdown.

Here's the breakdown in our betting tale of the tape:

Offense

Luck had a solid if unspectacular second season in the NFL, leading a Colts pass attack that ranked 17th in the league in yardage (3,725) with 23 touchdowns and just 10 interceptions. He had an eventful game against the Chiefs, throwing for 436 yards with four TDs and three interceptions. The rush attack was up-and-down for most of the season, ranking in a tie for 20th in yardage (1,743) but finishing with a respectable 15 scores while fumbling just three times.

Despite dealing with long-term injuries to top receiving options Rob Gronkowski and Danny Amendola, Brady managed to put together another solid campaign. The future Hall of Famer lifted New England to 10th spot in the NFL in passing yards (4,087) with 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The Patriots overcame Stevan Ridley's fumbling problems to rank ninth in yards on the ground (2,065) on 4.4 yards per attempt while finishing second with 19 touchdowns.

Edge: New England

Defense

Last week's shootout with Kansas City notwithstanding, the Colts had a strong season when it came to defending the pass. Indianapolis allowed the 13th-fewest yards through the air (3,711), countering 21 touchdowns against with 15 interceptions and 42 sacks. The Colts' run defense was a disappointment - allowing the seventh-most yards while getting torched for 14 TDs - and surrendered 150 yards to a Chiefs team playing without injured star Jamaal Charles.

The Patriots' defense was banged up all season, but still managed to impress in stretches. New England ranked 18th in opposing passing yards (3,824), allowing 25 touchdowns but grabbing 17 interceptions and compiling 48 sacks - second-most in the AFC. The Patriots were gashed for 2,145 rushing yards - the third-highest total in the league - but held their own against red-zone ground attacks, allowing just 11 touchdowns on the season.

Edge: Even

Special Teams

Indianapolis ranked near the middle of the pack in both kickoff return average (23.5 yards) and punt return average (9.9). The Colts weren't nearly as effective at defending returns, allowing the seventh-highest kickoff average (25.2) and the second-highest punt average (13.7) - highlighted by a 98-yard return from Rams speedster Tavon Austin in St. Louis' Week 10 win. Kicker Adam Vinatieri was sensational, connecting on 35-of-40 field-goal opportunities.

New England was solid on returns in 2013, ranking 12th in kickoffs (24 yards per attempt) and 11th in kickoffs (10.8). The Patriots also did a solid job at defending returns, allowing just 20.8 yards per kickoff return try and 7.6 yards per punt return attempt - both top-10 marks league-wide. Stephen Gostkowski was one of the top kickers in the NFL, hitting 38-of-41 field-goal chances - including 16-of-19 from 40 yards or longer.

Edge: New England

Notable Quotable

"It's truly an honor to have an opportunity to field a team and compete against the likes of coach (Bill) Belichick who will go down as one of the greatest coaches in the history of the National Football League." - Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton

"I think we rally together really well. I think we lean on each other. I think we trust each other. We play with a lot of heart, and I think that shows." - Patriots running back Shane Vereen

Saturday's Top 25 NCAAB cheat sheet: Early games

With college football done for another season, the focus shifts to an exciting college basketball campaign - and Saturday's early schedule should provide a hearty fix for NCAA hoops fans.

North Carolina Tar Heels at Syracuse Orange (-7.5)

Marcus Paige averages 17 points to lead the Tar Heels in scoring, but struggled in the last two games while making 5-of-27 from the field – 3-of-19 from behind the 3-point arc. But it has been more than off nights from Paige that has caused the Tar Heels’ problems after they beat No. 4 Michigan State, No. 8 Louisville and No. 16 Kentucky earlier in the season. The talent is there with James Michael McAdoo (14.4) leading four more players averaging in double figures scoring.

Opponents are shooting 41.2 percent against them, but the Orange limit teams to 6.7 less shots per game while leading the ACC in turnover margin (plus-6.07) and steals (9.5). C.J Fair averages 17.2 points and Trevor Cooney is next at 13.9 while shooting 45.3 percent from 3-point range. Tyler Ennis runs the show, scoring 11.7 per contest and standing first in the league in steals (2.6) and third in assists (5.6) with only 18 turnovers overall.

TRENDS

* Tar Heels are 1-5 ATS in their last six games.
* Orange are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games.
* Under is 8-2 in North Carolina's last 10 road games.
* Under is 4-1-1 in Syracuse's last six games.


Iowa State Cyclones at Oklahoma Sooners (+3)

The Cyclones and Oklahoma leads the Big 12 in points per game at 87, but Iowa State allows just 67.5 per game, good for fifth in the conference. Four players score in double figures, including forward Melvin Ejim (17.8 per game), guard DeAndre Kane (16.1) and forward Georges Niang (15.4). Kane, who transferred after averaging double figures in all three seasons at Marshall, had the first 30-point performance of the season for the Cyclones against Baylor.

The Sooners allowed Kansas to shoot 54.7 percent, including 8-of-16 from 3-point range, and sent them to the line 30 times. They currently rank last in the Big 12 in scoring defense, allowing 79.1 points per game and are ninth in field-goal percentage allowed at 43 percent, ahead of only Texas Tech. Oklahoma leads the series 111-81, including 61-23 at home.

TRENDS

* Cyclones are 22-6 ATS in their last 28 Saturday games.
* Sooners are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games.
* Under is 5-0 in Iowa State's last five road games.
* Over is 9-1 in Oklahoma's last 10 games vs. teams with winning records.


St. Bonaventure Bonnies at Massachusetts Minutemen (-8.5)

Production for the Bonnies has been backcourt-heavy this season, with their top three scorers all guards in Matthew Wright (16.5), Charlon Kloof (12.5) and Andell Cumberbatch (11.3). Wright in particular has been hot, averaging a shade under 20 points and shooting 9-for-19 from 3-point range in St. Bonaventure’s last three games. If they can improve upon their 32.4 percent rate from long range, the Bonnies could be more dangerous than expected in the Atlantic 10.

Point guard Chaz Williams is the unquestioned leader of the Minutemen, but he had been focused more on distribution than scoring over a recent five-game stretch where he scored 12 points or less each time out. That changed with a game-high 22 against the Hawks, but Williams’ numbers are still extremely well-balanced. The diminutive senior — he stands just 5-8 — leads the team with 15.9 points and is second nationally in assists with 7.4.

TRENDS

* Bonnies are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games vs. the Atlantic 10.
* Minutemen are 0-4 ATS in their last four games.
* Under is 5-1 in St. Bonaventure's last six games following an ATS win.
* Home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings.


Villanova Wildcats at St. John's Red Storm (+4.5)

The Wildcats' proficiency at both ends of the floor has been a major factor in their early-season success. Villanova ranks second in the Big East in scoring average (81.3 points) and field goal percentage defense (39.1) while leading the conference with 7.9 steals per game. JayVaughn Pinkston is the focus of the Wildcats' offense, averaging 16.1 points, while James Bell (14.4) and Darrun Hilliard (14.1) give Villanova three players among the top 15 scorers in the conference.

The Red Storm are led offensively by D'Angelo Harrison, who averages 18.5 points per game - good for fourth in the conference. JaKarr Sampson is the only other St. John's player averaging double figures, posting 12 points per game. Chris Obekpa leads the Red Storm and the Big East, averaging 4.2 blocks, which trails only Arizona State's Jordan Bachynski (4.8) nationally and lifts St. John's to its NCAA-leading nine blocks per game as a team.

TRENDS

* Wildcats are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games.
* Red Storm are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a loss.
* Over is 5-0 in Villanova's last five games.
* Over is 5-1 in the last six meetings.


Florida Gators at Arkansas Razorbacks (-1)

Point guard Scottie Wilbekin is questionable for the contest after he injured his right ankle late in Wednesday’s victory. Wilbekin ranks second in scoring (12.3) and leads the team in steals (2.2) and assists (3.9) while expertly running the offense. Forward Casey Prather is shooting a torrid 62.4 percent from the field while averaging a team-high 17 points, and guard Michael Frazier II (11.6) and center Patric Young (10.9) also average in double figures.

The Razorbacks had topped 100 points in two of their previous four games before going cold against the Aggies. Leading scorer Michael Qualls had an especially tough time, going 1-of-12 from the field while scoring a season-low two points to drop his average to 12.9. Second-leading scorer Bobby Portis (12.4) had just seven points on 3-of-10 shooting and third-leading scorer Alandise Harris (10.4) scored eight as fourth-leading scorer Rashad Madden (10.3) was the only Arkansas player to score in double digits with 12.

TRENDS

* Gators are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games.
* Razorbacks are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS loss.
* Under is 7-0 in Florida's last seven Saturday games.
* Under is 7-2 in the last nine meetings.


TCU Horned Frogs at Baylor Bears (-15.5)

Injuries have ravaged the Horned Frogs’ roster, which has forced assistant coaches Brent Scott and Kwanza Johnson along with Trey Zeigler and Chris Washburn (both ineligible to play due to NCAA transfer rules) to practice against the starters. TCU forced 18 turnovers Tuesday against Kansas State, but managed only eight points off those miscues and was outrebounded 37-21. The Horned Frogs shot a season-worst 12.5 percent beyond the 3-point arc, ending a four-game stretch in which they had connected at a 42-percent rate.

The Bears, who entered Tuesday ranked 293rd in the country in 3-point attempts, matched season highs in makes (11) and attempts (25) against Iowa State. In doing so, however, Baylor watched the undersized Cyclones outscore them in the paint 47-26 and in transition 16-0. The 21-point disparity in paint points was one more than it had allowed in the three other games in which it was outscored in the paint combined while the fast-break points were four more than it had surrendered over the previous six contests.
TRENDS

* Horned Frogs are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games vs. the Big 12.
* Bears are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games following an SU loss.
* Over is 6-2-1 in TCU's last nine road games.
* Over is 7-3 in Baylor's last 10 games vs. Big 12 foes.

Saturday's Top 25 NCAAB cheat sheet: Late games

With college football done for another season, the focus shifts to an exciting college basketball campaign - and Saturday's late schedule should provide a hearty fix for NCAA hoops fans.

Duke Blue Devils at Clemson Tigers (+5.5)

The Blue Devils leaned on Rodney Hood for 27 points in the 79-57 win over Georgia Tech, matching the sophomore’s point total from the Notre Dame loss. Duke freshman Jabari Parker dominated the non-conference slate but is finding ACC play a little less inviting with an average of 9.5 points on 27.3 percent shooting in the first two games. Parker was benched at the end of the Notre Dame loss and struggled again against Georgia Tech.

The Tigers just barely scrapped by ACC doormat Boston College in their conference opener and shot 30 percent from the field in the home loss to Florida State. Clemson is one of the best defensive teams in the country but struggles on the offensive end and committed 18 turnovers against the Seminoles. K.J. McDaniels was the only Tigers player to score more than six points with 14 against Florida State.

TRENDS

* Blue Devils are 4-1 ATS in their last five games.
* Tigers are 4-0 ATS in their last four Saturday games.
* Under is 5-2 in Duke's last seven games following a win.
* Under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings.


Kansas State Wildcats at Kansas Jayhawks (-9.5)

The Wildcats win with defense and allow just 58 points per game while holding opponents to 39.2 percent shooting from the field and 25.1 percent from 3-point range. Guard Marcus Foster averages a team-best 14.1 points, while forwards Thomas Gipson (11.9 points, team-best 6.5 rebounds) and Shane Southwell (10.8) also average in double digits. Southwell leads Kansas State in assists (3.3) and blocked shots (16) and is tied with guard Will Spradling for the team lead with 17 steals.

Wayne Selden made five 3-pointers in his big outing against Oklahoma after making just 12 prior to the contest. He raised his season average to 9.6 points, which ranks fourth on the squad behind guard Andrew Wiggins (15.3), forward Perry Ellis (13.8 points, 6.9 rebounds) and center Joel Embiid (10.5 points, 7.2 rebounds). Point guard Naadir Tharpe (8.3 points, 5.1 assists) was surprisingly good as a scorer against the Sooners with 17 points – his second-most of the season – and he recorded 13 of them in the second half.

TRENDS

* Wildcats are 6-0 ATS in their last six games.
* Jayhawks are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 vs. Big 12 foes.
* Under is 16-5 in Kansas State's last 21 games.
* Favorite is 25-8 ATS in the last 33 meetings.


Missouri Tigers at Auburn Tigers (+4)

Guards Jordan Clarkson (18.8 points) and Jabari Brown (18.4) are the second-highest scoring tandem in the SEC behind Auburn's duo of Chris Denson and KT Harrell, but Clarkson endured a rough night against Georgia. Both Clarkson and Brown have scored in double figures in each of Missouri's 14 games; no Tiger has done so in the first 15 games of a season since Kareem Rush started the 2000-01 campaign with a string of 21 straight double-digit games.

Chris Denson (19.8 points) leads the SEC in scoring -- and he put up 28 against Ole Miss -- and KT Harrell (18.7 points) isn't far behind. The Tigers' scoring drops off considerable after that duo, though, and the lack of depth was apparent with Harrell in early foul trouble against the Rebels. Auburn might have an edge inside with seniors Allen Payne (6.9 points. 6.5 rebounds) and 7-footer Asauhn Dixon-Tatum (6.3 points, 6 rebounds, 2.17 blocks).

TRENDS

* Missouri is 2-6-1 ATS in its last nine Saturday games.
* Auburn is 5-12 ATS in its last 17 games.
* Under is 7-0 in Missouri's last seven games.
* Over is 7-3 in Auburn's last 10 games vs. SEC opponents.


Minnesota Golden Gophers at Michigan State Spartans (-11)

Andre Hollins led the Golden Gophers in scoring in both games against Michigan State last season and he's leading the team in scoring again at 15.8. He's still looking for one of his breakout games from long distance, however, failing to make more than three 3-pointers in a game this season after making five or more six times last season, including three of the last four games. Two transfers who have helped improve the team this season are guards Malik Smith (Florida International) and DeAndre Mathieu (Morehead State), who are third and fourth on the team in scoring.

The foot injury to Adreian Payne has limited his rebounding abilities, as the 6-10 forward has reached double figures five times this season after hitting that mark in seven of the last 11 games last winter, but 6-6 forward Branden Dawson has picked up a big chunk of the slack. Dawson is averaging 8.6 rebounds after averaging 5.9 as a sophomore, despite playing just two more minutes per game than last season. He's coming off his least productive game of the season, however, finishing with four points and four rebounds in 34 minutes against Ohio State.

TRENDS

* Golden Gophers are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games.
* Spartans are 5-1 ATS in their last six games.
* Under is 6-2 in Minnesota's last eight games.
* Under is 12-2 in the last 14 meetings at Michigan State.


Memphis Tigers at Temple Owls (+7.5)

The Tigers get balanced scoring - all five starters hit double digits against Louisville - with guard Joe Jackson (15 points, 3.5 assists) leading the way. Memphis was tough on the boards against the Cardinals with Geron Johnson recording a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds and power forward Shaq Goodwin (12.3 points, 6.8 rebounds) turning in a strong effort. Missouri transfer Michael Dixon Jr. (11.4 points) has played well off the bench but had just six points against Louisville.

The Owls boast plenty of offensive prowess, but they have trouble getting stops, especially against quality opponents. Guard Dalton Pepper (16.7 points, 5.5 rebounds) leads four starters who average at least 14 points -- making the Owls the only team in the nation with such a high-scoring quartet -- but the bench doesn't produce much. Anthony Lee (14.3 points, 9.5 rebounds) is the league's top rebounder and has six double-doubles, and Quenton DeCosey (15.8 points) is the only Temple player who has scored in double figures in every game.

TRENDS

* Tigers are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games.
* Owls are 7-18 ATS in their last 25 home games.
* Under is 8-2 in Memphis' last 10 games.
* Over is 19-6-1 in Temple's last 26 Saturday games.

Kentucky Wildcats at Vanderbilt Commodores (+8)

James Young tied career highs with 26 points and 10 rebounds and also had a career-best five assists while starring against the Mississippi State Bulldogs. He now ranks second on the team in scoring behind forward Julius Randle (17.4 points, 10.9 rebounds) and has put together back-to-back double-doubles while aggressively looking for his shot. The Commodores are limiting opponents to 27.9 percent shooting from 3-point range.

Eric McClellan missed Tuesday’s 68-63 road loss to Alabama and the school announced his departure the following day. The Commodores will further rely on senior forward Rod Odom, who had 20 points and 10 rebounds against Alabama to raise his season averages to 13.8 points and a team-leading 6.1 rebounds. Center Damian Jones (10.7) and guard Kyle Fuller (10) also average in double digits for Vanderbilt, which averages 70.2 points per game.

TRENDS

* Wildcats are 7-16 ATS in their last 23 games vs. SEC opponents.
* Commodores are 7-2 ATS in their last nine Saturday games.
* Under is 19-8-1 in Kentucky's last 28 road games.
* Under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings.


Oklahoma State Cowboys at West Virginia Mountaineers (+5.5)

Oklahoma State was not content with its effort level in the Big 12 Conference opener but bounced back in strong fashion behind Marcus Smart in a win on Wednesday. The Cowboys lost senior center Michael Cobbins for the remainder of the season due to an Achilles injury on the eve of Big 12 play and did not handle the absence well in a 74-71 loss at Kansas State but they performed much better against Texas. Oklahoma State took both meetings last season by an average of 15 points.

The Mountaineers won their first two conference games and are winners of three straight overall with Juwan Staten and Eron Harris leading the way. The two combined for 43 points in the win over Texas Tech but coach Bob Huggins was most impressed by the effort on the defensive end at the end of the game. Staten is shooting 61 percent from the field over the last four games.

TRENDS

* Cowboys are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following an SU win.
* Mountaineers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games.
* Over is 4-0 in Oklahoma State's last four games.
* Over is 6-0 in West Virginia's last six games vs. Big 12 foes.


Wichita State Shockers at Missouri State Bears (+10)

Sixth-ranked Wichita State puts its perfect record on the linewhen it visits Missouri State, which has won four of its last five games. The Shockers extended their win streak to 16 games after cruising past Illinois State 66-47 on Wednesday, but standout guard Fred VanVleet suffered a scare when he left the game with a knee injury. VanVleet, who averaged 19.5 points in the two previous games, returned for the final 10 minutes and is expected to play against the Bears.

Wichita State made an effort to improve defensively Wednesday, holding the Redbirds to 32.7 shooting. "We are just more engaged as a group on that end," coach Gregg Marshall told reporters. An invigorated Shockers' defense is the last thing the Bears need after they were held to less than 70 points for the sixth time this season in Wednesday's 68-65 victory over Bradley.

TRENDS

* Shockers are 9-0 ATS in their last nine road games.
* Bears are 5-1 ATS in their last six games vs. MVC opponents.
* Over is 8-0 in MSU's last eight games following a victory.
* Under is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings at Missouri State.

English Breakfast: Premier League betting cheat sheet

The FA Cup weekend has come and gone which means we get back to Premier League football this weekend.

We talk to Aron Black of Bet365 about the action coming in on some of Saturday's hottest fixtures.

Hull City v Chelsea (+550, +300, -167)

Why bet Hull: The Tigers have posted some impressive results on home soil this season and are currently the sixth-best home side in the league. They have 18 points from 10 matches at home during this campaign and have two wins, one draw and one loss in their last four home matches.

Key players out/doubtful: Sone Aluko, Robbie Brady, Matty Fryatt, Paul McShane

Why bet Chelsea: The Blues are coming in hot as they're enjoying a three game winning streak and have collected 13 points in their last five games. They are coming off an impressive 3-0 road victory at Southampton in their last Premier League games.

Key players out/doubtful: Branislav Ivanovic, Frank Lampard, Marco van Ginkel

Previous meeting result: Chelsea 2, Hull 0

Key betting note: Chelsea have played Over the 2.5 goal total in eight of its last 10 matches.

Where the action is: "Hull have been more impressive than even the most supportive of pundits would have figured this season, and after a 6-0 win against Fulham, they come into this game full of confidence. The FT result sees little support for Hull and the Draw, but Chelsea are being well backed at the -167 price, which may go shorter come KO time. With only seven goals between them – Ba, Torres and Eto’o lead the market for First Goalscorer, but it's Eden Hazard who sees the action at +700 to be the First Goalscorer."


Cardiff v West Ham (+100, +250, +310)

Why bet Cardiff: Both of these sides have earned just one point from their previous four matches and both appear headed toward the relegation zone. But Cardiff has the edge as it plays on home turf against a shockingly bad West Ham club.

Key players out/doubtful: N/A

Why bet West Ham: If these players like having Sam Allardyce as their coach, they will need to step up and win this game Saturday. Allardyce is surely on the chopping block after the Hammers have strung together some amazingly-bad performances. None worse, however, then the 5-0 thrashing handed out by Championship side Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup last weekend.

Key players out/doubtful: Winston Reid, Andy Carroll, Kevin Nolan, Ricardo Vaz Te

Previous meeting result: West Ham 2, Cardiff 0

Key betting note: The Hammers have lost their last five matches away from Upton Park.


Everton v Norwich (-250, +400, +800)

Why bet Everton: The Toffees are battling some injury concerns, but will still field a quality XI as they host Norwich Saturday. They still own a European spot as the club sits fifth in the league with 38 points. They'll look to bounce back from a little hiccup in a 1-1 draw away to Stoke last time out.

Key players out/doubtful: Phil Jagielka, Gerard Deulofeu, Arouna Koné, Darron Gibson

Why bet Norwich: It's been a while since the Canaries have won a league game - Dec. 7 to be exact - but have played well of late. A disappointing draw at Crystal Palace last time out should be a motivating factor to get a positive result at Goodison Park Saturday.

Key players out/doubtful: Elliott Bennett, Alexander Tettey, Anthony Pilkington

Previous meeting result: Norwich 2, Everton 2

Key betting note: The Toffees are undefeated in 18 of their last 19 matches at Goodison Park.


Fulham v Sunderland (+115, +240, +275)

Why bet Fulham: The Cottagers are slowly but surely climbing out of the bottom quarter of the table. They've won two of three and three of six in the league, and a home match versus last-placed Sunderland could be a perfect fixture to snatch three points and continue the ascension.

Key players out/doubtful: Matthew Briggs, Brede Hangeland

Why bet Sunderland: They may be cellar dwellers in the Premier League, but the Black Cats are a different side under Gus Poyet. This is a scrappy side that is desperate to get out of 20th and their play has reflected their desire to seek safety. They've put together three draws in their last five, but must start nabbing three points against bottom-half clubs.

Key players out/doubtful: Carlos Cuéllar, Keiren Westwood

Previous meeting result: Sunderland 0, Fulham 1

Key betting note: The Cottagers have netted at least two goals in each of their last three matches at Craven Cottage.


Southampton v West Brom (-120, +270, +375)

Why bet Southampton: Off the heels of a tough defeat to Chelsea last time out, the Saints must get back into early season form. They've lost back-to-back games and three of four overall and are plummeting down the table. This is a much better side than we've seen of late, and injuries have certainly taken its toll. Namely holding-mid Victory Wanyama and Roma import Pablo Osvaldo.

Key players out/doubtful: Pablo Osvaldo, Victor Wanyama, Artur Boruc, Guly

Why bet West Brom: The Baggies are currently without a manager after sacking Steve Clarke. They do get to face a depleted Southampton attack which bodes well for them. As far as the Baggies attack, they will welcome back striker Shane Long who returns from injury for Saturday's tilt with the Saints.

Key players out/doubtful: N/A

Previous meeting result: West Brom 0, Southampton 1

Key betting note: West Brom has lost or drawn its last seven Premier League matches away from home.


Tottenham v Crystal Palace (-275, +400, +900)

Why bet Tottenham: Despite the sacking of Andre Villas-Boas and the fan base calling out some of the club's high profile purchases, Spurs sit just one point out of a Europa League spot and two points back of a Champions League spot. They've got three wins and one draw in their last four, but wins are few and far between and White Hart Lane. They put in one of their best performances against Stoke in their last home game and will look for that form to continue against lowly Palace.

Key players out/doubtful: Jan Vertonghen, Paulinho, Younes Kaboul

Why bet Crystal Palace: Tony Pulis has given the side new hope since he took over managerial duties at the club. Results have been largely positive and they have won three of their last seven and are coming off a draw at home against Norwich. Spurs are certainly beatable at home and if Palace can score the upset, it will go a long way in their quest to stay up.

Key players out/doubtful: Jerome Thomas, Adlène Guédioura

Previous meeting result: Crystal Palace 0, Tottenham 1

Key betting note: Scorelines have gone over the 2.5 goal total in eight of Tottenham's last nine games.


Manchester United v Swansea (-167, +300, +550)

Why bet Manchester United: United is in tough with so many injury worries at the club. They are coming off a home defeat at the hands of Tottenham and a win versus Swansea at Old Trafford is now becoming more imperative. The Red Devils could be bolstered by the return of Robin van Persie who is rumored to be nearing fitness.

Key players out/doubtful: Wayne Rooney, Nani, Marouane Fellaini, Phil Jones, Ashley Young, Fabio

Why bet Swansea: Talk about a team who is plummeting. The Swans are in danger of being passed by the likes of West Brom, Norwich and even Fulham as they haven't won a game since Dec. 4. The Swans can hang their hat on the fact that they defeated United at Old Trafford in the FA Cup on Jan. 5.

Key players out/doubtful: Michu, Nathan Dyer, Michel Vorm

Previous meeting result: Swansea 1, Manchester United 4

Key betting note: United and Swansea have gone over the 2.5 goal total in their last three meetings in all competitions.

Where the action is: "Normally, United has been backed to bounce back after troubles earlier in the season, however, this match is seeing them being largely swerved, even at the -200 price, but it's possible that this may turn out to be the time to back Man United. But I suspect many may wait until the game goes in play to invest in them. Adnan Januzaj sees support to Score Anytime at +225, but it's rather surprising that the fortunes of one of the biggest clubs in the world are possibly falling at the young player's feet."

WINNING POINTS

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Dayton* over Saint Louis by 6
Getting up for revenge on a 29-point road loss last February should not be a problem
for the host Flyers, who were 12-9 when last year’s game was played. They were 12-3
entering this week.
DAYTON, 70-64.

***BEST BET
Penn State* over Indiana by 9
A Hoosiers squad with a -4 Assist-to-Turnover Ratio plays a conference road game
against a Penn State group with a quality backcourt led by upperclassmen who average 18 and 16 ppg. When Indiana becomes a really good defensive team, send us a memo on that. Freshman center Noah Vonleh fouled out of his first Big Ten road
game and that should be the start of a trend.
PENN STATE, 76-67.

Pittsburgh* over Wake Forest by 17
Hard to go against Pitt’s offensive efficiency that includes a +7 Assist-to-Turnover
Ratio, and Wake’s 61% free-throw shooting.
PITTSBURGH, 76-59.

Georgia Tech* over Notre Dame by 1
Notre Dame beat Duke? Duke is softer than we thought. Georgia Tech is an offensive
garbage show, but they will offer defensive resistance.
GEORGIA TECH, 68-67.

Virginia Tech* over Boston College by 4

Syracuse* over North Carolina by 8
Tar Heel’s free-throw shooting is 62.4%, rather abysmal. Syracuse offensive can go
cold instantly, for long stretches. No, thanks!
SYRACUSE, 71-63.

**PREFERRED
Oklahoma* over Iowa State by 6
Road favoritism for Iowa State when the other side is competent, NCAA Tournament
quality? Seems a bit too optimistic, does it not? Lon Kruger, plus points, on home
floor with a 12-2 team scoring 87 ppg doesn’t come around often, right? The Sooners
want to know why ISU is ranked and they’re not.
OKLAHOMA, 84-78.

Massachusetts* over St. Bonaventure by 14
UMass won 99-94 at St. Bonny last season, and this visitor seems like the kind of team
that can trail by 20 on the road at the half against a decent foe that can go on runs.
MASSACHUSETTS, 84-70.

***BEST BET
St. John’s* over Villanova by 7
Defensive resistance and rebounding on both ends of the court should be the key for
the Redmen (ha! Redmen!) against ‘Nova group that wants to run up and down the
floor. Similar to when Syracuse totally shut down Villanova a one half. St. John’s goes
cold at times, but probably won’t be as cold as Syracuse was in the first half vs.
Villanova. As the only home game surrounded by roadies at Xavier, Georgetown (L,
L) and at Depaul coming up, this is an important date for St. John’s. 76-67.

Indiana State* over Bradley by 15

Arkansas* over Florida by 3
No reason to buck Arkansas in a place where they hardly ever lose. Anyone else out
there tired of Florida’s uninspiring act in conference every year, especially on the road?
ARKANSAS, 76-74.

South Carolina* over LSU by 5
LSU will be firing this head coach they brought in from North Texas (ha-ha) soon
enough. Maybe not this year, or next, but soon enough. Gamecocks showing gradual
improvement.
SOUTH CAROLINA, 65-60.

Baylor* over TCU by 23

North Texas* over Tulane by 9

Towson* over NC Wilmington by 12

Buffalo* over Eastern Michigan by 4

Kansas* over Kansas State by 10
K-State has been on a freaky good run lately, which followed a freaky poor start.
Another low tide is probably due.
KANSAS, 71-61.

Marquette* over Seton Hall by 9
Visiting team’s big man Gene Teague will be gone for a while, and isn’t Marquette’s
6’8”, 290 leading scorer Davante Gardner happy about that? The fact that Marquette
has a leading scorer that large, at only 13.9 ppg says a lot about Marquette, but every
blind squirrel finds a nut.
MARQUETTE, 72-63.

Missouri over Auburn* by 7

Drexel* over Northeastern by 7

Duke over Clemson* by 5
If Clemson could bring a bunch of 6’10” stiffs off the bench to crash the boards like
Notre Dame did against Duke, we could pick against Duke in this spot. But the head
coach and staff of this offensively challenged Clemson team forgot to recruit those
types.
DUKE, 68-63.

Harvard* over Dartmouth by 14

Michigan State* over Minnesota by 15

George Washington* over Rhode Island by 10

Western Michigan over Miami-OH* by 4

UL-Lafayette* over Texas-Arlington by 8

Memphis over Temple* by 1

**PREFERRED
Vanderbilt* over Kentucky by 6
Slowdown game, shoot threes, play zone? That’s what John Calipari said opponents
should try to do against Kentucky and that’s what Vandy does. We don’t often land on
these soft, under-coached clowns and we promise that if it doesn’t work out, no more
Vanderbilt.
VANDERBILT, 66-60.

Mississippi over Mississippi State* by 6

Alabama over Georgia* by 3

Hofstra* over College of Charleston by 1
The visitor doesn’t have the quality size or the guard scoring to kill Hofstra, who is
bad. The home dog’s holdover bigs Nwaukone and Kone need to hold their own.
HOFSTRA, 59-58.

Pacific* over Santa Clara by 6

Southern Illinois* over Evansville by 5

James Madison* over Delaware by 1

Charlotte over Texas San Antonio by 20

Oklahoma State over West Virginia* by 5

North Carolina State* over Virginia by 3

UL-Monroe* over Texas State by 7

Cincinnati* over Rutgers by 22
Not the kind of ballgame Rutgers wants to be involved in. ‘Stop contesting our shots,
Cincinnati! Stop rebounding our misses!’
CINCINNATI, 74-52.

Princeton over Penn* by 6

Toledo* over Central Michigan by 13

Middle Tennessee* over UAB by 5

Connecticut* over Central Florida by 7
UConn head coach Kevin Ollie and crew have done a bad job preparing for the
stranger foes in their new conference, the AAC. So, until further notice, a favorite that
“only plays in spurts,” according to one player, is not on our radar. UCF can put the
ball in the hoop (79 ppg).
CONNECTICUT, 81-74.

St. Mary’s* over San Francisco by 12

Richmond over Fordham* by 8

Butler* over Georgetown by 1
Going against a consistent schedule of Big East-sized athletes through conference play
will be much different for Butler than when they were playing against the Youngstown
States and Loyola-Chicagos of the world.
BUTLER, 67-66.

Detroit* over Oakland by 8

East Carolina* over Old Dominion by 10

Cal-Santa Barbara* over Cal Poly-SLO by 6

Kent State* over Ball State by 14

Long Beach State* over Cal Davis by 11

Northern Iowa* over Drake by 5

Wichita State over Missouri State* by 12

Rice* over Florida Atlantic by 1

Oregon State* over California by 1

Louisiana Tech* over Florida International by 16

**PREFERRED
Arkansas State* over South Alabama by 18
Undersized leading scorer Augustine Rubit is the leading scorer for South Alabama, a
team shooting only 40% from the field. They need him on the floor for a long time.
Yet he just played 33 minutes and got 14 rebounds in a 13-point home loss to Georgia
State. So, what good is it having him do that if you’re USA or somebody betting on
USA? ASU shoots 40% from three-point range.
ARKANSAS STATE, 72-58.

Utah State over Nevada* by 3

Illinois State* over Illinois-Chicago by 7

Texas* over Texas Tech by 15

St. Joseph’s over George Mason* by 3
No doubt who the better-coached team is, and the team that is not better-coached alsohas a -6 Assist-to-Turnover Ratio dragging it down.
ST. JOSEPH’S, 61-58.

***BEST BET
Arkansas-Little Rock* over Troy by 21
A Troy team averaging only 63 ppg shooting less than 40% from the field in the firstseason of a new coaching staff headed by a clown, er, former Rick Stansbury assistant plays its second Thursday to Saturday deal within a week, this time on the road. Troy has only two players averaging in double-digits, and they both have a 3-point shooting percentage of 0%. Steve Shields’ assistants at ASU: ‘Coach, I think we should probably play a lot of zone tonight.’ Shields to staff: ‘Ya think!?’
ARKANSAS-Little Rock, 76-55.

BYU* over Loyola Marymount by 18
Early in-season revenge try for BYU. Marymount goes from the beach of San Diego
to the mountains of Provo within a day or two.
BYU, 85-67.

Colorado State* over Fresno State by 9

UTEP* over Marshall by 4

San Diego* over Pepperdine by 4

Boise State* over Wyoming by 14

CS Northridge* over Hawaii by 6

New Mexico over San Jose State* by 18
Lobos will wonder why there is nobody in the gym for a Mountain West game. About
1,400 attended San Jose’s conference home opener vs. Nevada, which they, of course,
lost by 12 points.
NEW MEXICO, 72-54.

Cal Irvine over Cal Riverside* by 7
Riverside’s leading scorer, 6’10”, 246 Chris Patton, may be having bad dreams about
having to go against 7’6” Mamadou N’diaye on Irvine. That’s if he comes back from
what was a two-game injury absence when the week began.
CAL-IRVINE, 60-53.
