558 Evansville -4: Loyola another member of the Dirty Dozen so our money is on the Purple Aces.

604 South Carolina +1: The home conference underdog trend applies here. HC Martin will have the Gamecocks fired up to pull the minor upset.

665 Utah State +8: It’s 12-4 Utah State facing 12-5 Boise. Sounds a lot closer than 8.

715 Massachusetts -5: The visiting Minutemen having a tremendous season at 15-1. Elon is a member of the Dirty Dozen.

NBA Basketball

512 New Orleans Pelicans +4: New Orleans finds a good spot to start turning things around as they catch Golden State of huge revenge game in Okie City last night, we find it hard to believe they can get interested in beating up on the lowly birds.

506 Charlotte Bobcats +8: Parry’s NBA Basketball Power Guide has visiting Heat just a one point favorite in this spot and the last six of seven in this series have gone under the total.

505 Miami Heat / 506 Charlotte Bobcats UNDER 195

NCAA Basketball

542 Kansas State -5: K State got back on tract with a good win this past Tuesday when beating the Sooner’s, we have them winning this game by twelve.

572 Buffalo -5: Parry’s NCAA Basketball Power Guide has Buffalo fourteen points better at home over Kent, we will lay the five points.

587 Pittsburgh +5: This will be one great game to watch as we get two top notch teams slugging it out and we find ourselves in a must take situation as the Panthers who are in revenge mood as Syracuse knocked them out in the first round of the Big East tournament last year.

616 San Diego State -8: The Rebs won’t find it as nice in San Diego as the did in New Mexico when the upset the them in the pit, San Diego has the Rebs number and it will be blow out time.

NHL Hockey

14 Buffalo Sabres Even: Great high percentage play for us as Buffalo is rested at home and catch the Blue Jackets off a game last night skating into Buffalo with a five game win streak.

SPORTS WAGERS NHL

TAMPA BAY +104 over San Jose

2:00 PM EST. OT included. The Bolts are still jot getting the credit they deserve and that’s fine by us, as we’ll continue to play this team when being offered value. Tampa is coming off a 2-1 OT loss to the Islanders but give the Bolts a break, as they had returned home from a four-game trip and seven road games in their past eight. Despite that difficult schedule, Tampa still won five of those seven road games and four of those five was with their awful backup goaltender, Anders Lindback in net. This is Tampa’s second game back and they figure to be sharper and extremely focused because they’re playing a top team from the West and they’ve also lost four in a row at home (three of those with Lindback in net). Since his return, Ben Bishop has allowed two regulation goals in two games and the Bolts have picked up three out of a possible four points.

The Sharks complete their brief, three-game trip here after defeating both Washington and Florida and this is by far a much tougher test. The Sharks scoring is way down with just four regulation goals over their past three games and they scored three of those in one game against Tim Thomas. San Jose is still bothered by some key injuries and let’s not ignore the early start for this East coast game, something the Sharkies are unaccustomed to. San Jose is beatable right now. We get a big edge in net with Bishop over Antti Niemi and we likely get a very focused effort from the home side in an attempt to snap their four game home losing streak. As long as Bishop stays healthy, no chance these Bolts will lose four in a row at home the rest of the way. It says here they won’t lose five in a row at home.


N.Y. Rangers +113 over OTTAWA

2:00 PM EST. OT included. After outshooting Montreal 44-23 and losing 5-4 in OT, Senators coach Paul MacLean wasted no time in naming Craig Anderson his starter for this game after Anderson’s awful performance on Thursday. Paul MacLean is a stubborn guy. One of the main reasons the Senators lost so many games prior to the X-Mas break was because Anderson was dreadful while constantly killing any momentum the Senators had. Anderson has posted a save percentage of .850 or less in nine of his 31 starts and .899 or less in 16 of those 31 starts. Guys that post numbers like that are sent down and never heard from again. It’s not rocket science and it’s a huge mystery to us as to why MacLean insists on going back to this stiff every game when he has a monster waiting on the bench in Robin Lehner. The Senators are a good team but no team can win consistently when the goaltending is that bad. That’s not an opinion either, as the proof is in plain black and white. It’s deflating for a team to play so hard, dominate time in the opposition’s end and keep losing games because their coach is so hard-headed. Don’t blame Anderson because he’s trying his hardest, blame MacLean for either not recognizing it or being too stubborn to recognize it.

The Rangers are going to explode on the score sheet any time now. New York has scored just two goals over its past two games but they fired away 82 shots and many of them were of the high quality variety. The Rangers have been dominating games for over a month now. Since the 15th of December, the Rangers have won 10 of 16 games but deserved to win at least three more because they were the vastly superior team. Henrik Lundqvist had a rough stretch that didn’t help but he appears to be back in form. However, Cam Talbot gets the call for this one and that makes the Rangers even more appealing. Talbot is 9-3 with a GAA of 1.66 and a save % of .938. The Rangers are at the top of their game right now and with a big edge in net, they have a better than 50% chance of winning this game and that’s precisely how we’ll play it. Definite overlay.

Dallas +122 over MINNESOTA

OT included. How can the Stars keep losing at this pace with all that talent? Dallas’ defense has been leaky and so has its goaltending and that’s not the way a Lindy Ruff coached-team plays. We’re giving the Stars one last chance to pay off and should they lose here, we won’t play them again until they get straightened out. If they are going to make a move in the standings it has to begin here. The Wild sits eight points ahead of Dallas in the standings at 57 points and is holding onto the last playoff spot in the Western Conference. Nashville is tied with the Stars at 49 points. So when the Stars play here tonight, at Nashville on Monday and then back home against Minnesota on Tuesday, there’s a lot on the line. Win all three games, and the playoff race looks a lot different. Lose all three and it’s likely season over. The Stars system under the new regime is to play fast and perhaps there is a price to pay for sticking to a system and suffer the growing pains that go with it. However, when things begin to click, Dallas is going to be beasts to play and so we’ll continue to keep a close watch on them.

Minnesota is not a good hockey team. They are an average team that has somehow managed to win more games than they’ve lost because of a good defense and some very good fortune. The Wild have split their past two games, losing to Ottawa 3-0 and subsequently defeating the Oilers, 4-1. In a victory versus the Predators last week, Minnesota scored four goals on 23 shots. In a recent 5-3 victory over Washington, Minnesota scored five times on 11 shots and was outshot 30-11 in that contest. In a recent 2-1 victory over L.A., Minnesota was outshot 40-17. Minnesota’s 26.5 shots on net per game average this season is dead last in the West while the Stars shots on net average per game ranks seventh in the entire league. Prior to this extremely fortunate streak of six wins in eight games, Minnesota had lost 13 of 18 games. Minnesota’s record has them overpriced but this favorite is one of the riskiest in the league because they are simply not as good as the other teams priced in this range against quality opposition.

CONNECTICUT +105 over Louisville

9:00 PM EST. Once again we turn to one of the most profitable angles in college basketball and that’s fading a small road favorite that is ranked against an unranked opponent. Louisville comes in as #18 but there is no way this team is the 18th best team in the country. They may be in the top 68 (tournament qualifying) but we’re not even convinced of that. The Cardinals are 15-3 and their three losses occurred against the three toughest teams on their schedule, that being North Carolina, Kentucky and Memphis. Only the game played in Kentucky was a true road game. Louisville’s numbers are a direct reflection of who they have played. The Cardinals had padded their statistics at home against inferior competition. A closer look at their losses reveals a very different picture. When they can't physically and athletically dominate their opponent, they have struggled. The Cardinals shot less than 40 percent from the field in each of their three losses to quality opposition. The story is equally concerning on the other end of the floor. The Cardinals are allowing 13 more points per game against ranked opponents compared with last season and they have nobody to protect the rim. The Cardinals biggest concern is on the boards. Louisville was outrebounded in each game by that aforementioned trio and ranks 286th in defensive rebounding percentage. This is not the same Cardinals team that won it all last year but its pedigree, success from last season and cupcake schedule has them way overpriced and over-ranked.

The Huskies 14-3 overall record is legit. They have wins over #15 Florida and #17 Memphis. The reason they are a pooch here is because they have a couple of seriously disturbing losses against Houston and SMU in back-to-back games in early January. We’re not concerned, as they were both road games, one was on New Year’s Eve and these are still college kids that like to have fun. It’s all business now, as UConn is coming off its best game of the season, a 10-point win over Memphis. Amida Brimah, the 7-foot freshman has little or no name recognition nationally, but he changes the game when he's on the floor. Indeed, possession for possession, he's one of the best shot-blockers in the country, swatting away 23 percent of opponents' 2-point attempts during his minutes. If Brimah proves he can stay on the floor for an additional five or six minutes per game and his teammates continue to hit 3s at a good rate, the Huskies are a top-25 team. Wrong side favored.
