We were a little surprised to see this line as low as it has been set by Vegas, but we will not be deterred by the smokescreen! You have the Rams of VCU coming into this game at 20-7 overall and still look to be in good shape for an at-large NCAA birth, while Fordham comes into tonight at 9-16 overall and 2-10 in conference play. Now normally, with all things being equal, we might really question this line and probably lay off the game completely. But...we are getting an angry VCU team tonight travelling to New York as the Rams have dropped their last two A10 games to St. Louis and UMass. Shaka Smart's troops aren't used to dropping back-to-back conference games, so we think you are going to get a spirited effort tonight from VCU. Bad news for Fordham, who turns the ball over at an alarming rate, especially at home. Now they get to see the very best defensive team cause "havoc" all over the court tonight and convert those TO's into easy buckets. These two teams played on January 29th in Richmond and VCU handled Fordham easily, winning 76-60. Fordham is a team that really struggles to make shots consistently while VCU shoots almost 47% as a team on the road. Don't overthink this one...VCU takes care of business tonight in New York. The Sharps say...

On Thursday the free College Hoops play is on UAB. Game 533 at 8;00 eastern. The Blazers have covered 16 of the last 22 games played in February and are a solid 10-2 vs teams who average under 65 points per game. In the series they have won the last 8 vs Rice and have slaughtered losing teams winning 22 of the last 26. Rice has dropped 6 of the last 7 and are ranked 301 in the RPI Scale one of the worse rankings in the country. Its no wonder they are 0-8 vs top 150 teams. When playing off 3 or more spread losses the Owls are a dismal 1-6 to the spread and an even worse 7-20 to the spread after scoring 60 or less points in their last game. Finally when they are a home dog of +3.5 to +6 they are 0-3 straight up and ats. Look for UAB To coast to a win and cover here tonight. The Thursday card has 4 big plays, the leads are the NCAAB Revenge Game of the Month and the NBA 100% Totals system of the week. We also have a 29-1 5* Sun Belt Conference side and the Late night Pac 12 Play. NCAAB Top play cashes again last night with Delaware. Jump on and flatten your book tonight. For the free play take UAB. GC

We played Brooklyn last night as a 3-point pooch (line closed at +2½) at Portland and the Nets proceeded to get buried by 44 points. The question now becomes, if the Nets were a 3-point dog in Portland, how can they be a similar dog in Denver (they opened as a 1-point dog here)? Comparing Denver to Portland is like comparing Sochi’s accommodations to Las Vegas. The Nuggets are pure garbage. Denver has two wins in their past 10 games and both victories occurred against Milwaukee. After losing to Chicago last week by 28 points, Coach Brian Shaw ripped his team. How did they respond? They lost 109-95 to Sacramento, their first home loss to the Kings in six years.
Other than last night, the Nets have been buried by more than 20 points twice since New Year’s Eve. On that date they lost in San Antonio by 21 and responded a day later by winning in Oklahoma City. A month later, on January 31, Brooklyn got thumped at home by OKC, 120-95 but the very next night they went into Indiana and lost by one point. This team has responded well to blowout losses and this is by far its easiest assignment after a blowout. It’s also certainly worth noting that on December 3, Denver went into Brooklyn and whacked the Nets by 24 points. This line is an overreaction to Brooklyn’s 44-point loss in Portland last night and that provides us with a great opportunity to take advantage of that reaction.
