3-Unit Play. Take #716 Michigan State (-8) over Iowa (7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 14)
I like the home team to get the job done here tonight. Michigan State lost by 13 points at Iowa in the last meeting and they will want to get revenge for that game. Iowa has been playing very strong but they never play well when they come to East Lansing and Sparty is 5-1 ATS the last six times they have hosted the Hawkeyes. Michigan State is 9-3 ATS in its last 12 home games and they are 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. Michigan State has won its last two games by more than 20 points and they are back at full strength now that they have their leading scorer Denzel Valentine healthy. I think that this will be a close game in the first half. But Michigan State will turn it on in the second half and pull away for a big blowout win here. Lay the points.
3-Unit Play. Take #760 Arizona (-13.5) over Washington (9 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 14)
I will go with Arizona. They came into the season as the big Pac-12 favorite. But the Wildcats lost their last two games and are just 1-2 in league play. But I think they will be able to take care of business here in their home gym. Arizona has had some tough injuries come up over the last week and will be shorthanded. But this is a very deep team and I think that they will find their scoring on the inside. This is a very balanced Arizona team with seven players averaging at least eight points per game. Washington has not left its home state since November. They are coming off a big OT win against rival Washington State. Lorenzo Romar has gotten a lot of good things out of this team so far this year. But I think Arizona is too motivated here and they will put the clamps down on this Huskies squad. Go with the Wildcats.
4-Unit Play. Take #763 Pittsburgh (+7.5) over Louisville (9 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 14)
The Cardinals are favored because they are at home in this game. But they could lose this game! Pittsburgh went to Notre Dame over the weekend and got an outright win. I think they could do the same down in Louisville. The Panthers have won 10 straight and 14 of 15 games and this number should be closer to 3.5. The Cardinals have lost two of their last four games and they only beat Wake Forest by eight points at home last week. Pittsburgh is better than Wake and will be neck-and-neck in this game. Louisville has not played a strong schedule and this is a younger team for Rick Pitino. I think they will struggle here and Pitt could pull the upset.
5 Unit Play. Take #771 Over 132 Pepperdine at Santa Clara (10:00p.m., Thursday January 14)
A bit shocked on how low this total was posted and how the public is jumping on the under this morning. Pepperdine is on the road for this game but the Waves are averaging 71.9ppg while Santa Clara is giving up an average of 70.3ppg. Santa Claralast 3 home games their defense gave up 77 points to Portland, 79 points Gonzaga, and 81 points St. Mary's and tonight I see the Waves putting up close to those same numbers. If Pepperdine control the tempo of this road game we should have no problem hitting this over. Santa Clara is 8-1 O/U against conference opponents and their last 8 games 7 of them have gone over the total.

4 Unit Play. Take #711 Under 216 LA Lakers at Golden St (10:35 p.m., Thursday, January 14)
Had this game on my total radar before the Warriors lost last night and with that loss I believe I see Golden St tonight playing outstanding defense. Early this month these two teams did battle in LA and the Warriors won 109-88 and tonight I don't see the Lakers hitting the 90 mark. Golden St let Denver score 112 points last night and tonight defense will be key and the UNDER cashes

4-Unit Play. Take #51 NY Rangers (+105) over NY Islanders (7:00) p.m., Thursday, Jan. 14)
Almost every statistic or trend you see with this match-up will push you towards taking the Islanders. I am here to tell you to not be sold on this. The Rangers are now 1-7-1-1 in their last ten games on the road but 4-3 in their last 7 overall while playing some tough opponents. Their wins over the stretch come from Anaheim, Tampa Bay, Dallas and Boston. Their only losses have come from Washington, Florida and Nashville. They should have won the Washington game but ended up giving up a goal with 5 seconds left in regulation. You can see the Rangers starting to play at a higher level defensively and are finally getting healthy. The Rangers still has the better offense, power play and goalie. The Islanders are 2-3 in their last 5 games while giving up a ton of goals (20). They have only beat Columbus and Dallas over the stretch and have lost to Pittsburgh, Washington and Philly. Look for the Rangers to build on momentum and get their first road win in a while.
3-Unit Play. Take #56 Montreal (+105) over Chicago (7:30) p.m., Thursday, Jan. 14)
The home team is 11-1 over the last twelve games in this match-up and don't see why this will change tonight. Rookie Mike Condon has done his best trying to fill in for Price but is 3-8 over the course with a 2.64 GAA in 11 starts. He won his previous 3 starts before making 29 saves in Saturdays 3-1 loss to Pittsburgh. But Condon has been better at home where he is averaging 2.20 GPG. The Canadians know they need to do a better job in front of Condon defensively and you can see this starting to happen. Look for the Canadians to surprise everyone tonight at home.
2-Unit Play. Take #63 New Jersey (+115) over Colorado (9:30) p.m., Thursday, Jan. 14)
Cory Schneider has been victimized by the Devils pathetic offense over the last five games they have faced the Av's which has resulted in the team going 0-5. But over the course he has posted a 1, 75 GAA and has been producing at that same level as of late. Schneider has a 1.68 GAA in his last six starts but has only won 3 of those games. Now NJ faces a Colorado team that has been awful on defense and the club is now giving up 2.89 goals per game. This is the perfect game for NJ to get their power play working considering Colorado has let their opponents score 25 percent of its chances over the past 14 games. I will take defense over the offense tonight in Colorado.
