Hofstra +4½ over DREXEL PINNACLE

If you dig deep enough you can usually find some pretty sweet lines when you step out of the big conferences and this one looks to be as sweet as any. These two met just 11 days ago in New York and the Dragons pulled the upset as a five-point dog. Now they’re a 4½-point choice or a 9½-point swing from that game that the Pride hosted. That in itself is a bit ludicrous, as the Dragons are a bad college basketball team and laying points with tomato cans is almost always bad strategy. The Dragons are 2-3 in the conference after a 53-50 win at Georgia State on Saturday and that score should be a huge concern. Two games ago the Dragons scored just 46 on VCU in a 29-point loss and the inability to score points makes this host very beatable indeed. The Dragons are weak just about everywhere. They are dreadful shooters, they have no bench and they usually lose the battle for every loose ball on the court. Meanwhile, the Pride’s record is 10-6 and 2-3 in the conference also. However, they went into VCU on Saturday and lost by just eight. Last year’s CAA rookie of the year Charles ******* is having an even better year this season. There is decent depth along the frontcourt, thanks to seniors Darren Townes and Dane Johnson. Johnson is also a great shot-blocker, as his 64 last season will attest to and every lousy shot the Dragons take will be contested. Losing to Drexel at home is bad enough, losing to them twice in 11 days is rather embarrassing and although I’m taking the points, I’m calling the Pride outright. The Pride are rebuilding, yes, but they’re such a better program, they’re well-coached and they’ll be hungry to avenge that defeat 11 days ago. Play: #731 Hofstra +4½ (Risking 2.18 units to win 2).

NCAA CB EARLY RELEASE
GEORGE MASON-6
There is some good stuff about George Mason. First of all they come in at 70% ats so far this year playing against W&M who is 2-6 ats . Here are some of the edges here. GM has better guard play, shoot a better % from the field as well as the 3 pt line. They have had a tougher schedule than WM has to this point. Matter of fact, WM is shooting 41% from the field and they have played one of the weakest defensive schedules to date. Most of the teams they have played do not have good D's. We have a huge advantage in offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency with GM. These numbers are even more important when you see they have played the tougher schedule. The last 5 games GM has been on fire shooting 50% from the field and 40% from the 3 pt line. This is the overnight -6 line so get on it now. A conference game should have them focused.

GEORGE MASON-6

Today's Lock: Wake Forest -4

Nice NBA win last night.

Wake Forest has a super team. They are coming off a strong win over former #1 North Carolina. The Deamon Deacons have a top notch back court and an even better front court. Sure, BC beat North Carolina too, but Wake is the better team here. They will prove that this evening in Boston. Wake is a Lock.

Game: Portland Trailblazers @ Philadelphia 76ers - Wednesday January 14, 2009 7:00 pm
Pick: 2 units ATS: Portland Trailblazers -1 (-110)



Here we have a match-up of a 23-14 Blazers team again at full strength, with the return of star Brandon Roy two games ago from a hamstring injury that kept him out of four games, against a 17-20 team missing one of its best players in Elton Brand (16 ppg, 10 rpg). After an ugly 1-5 streak after Brand went down with his injury, the Sixers seem to have righted their ship lately, having won last 4 games SU and covered their L5, with a two point covering loss at SA being the only "blemish" in those L5 games. And three of the four wins were over some decent teams (Milw, Houston and Atlanta). But is Philly really poised to make a run or will it just be more of the same crappy play tonite that they have shown so far TY at home against > ,500 teams, with a 2-7 ATS home record vs such teams, including 2-4 ATS at home vs "B" teams like Blazers, with average margin -4 points (and two of the aforementioned 3 good recent Sixer wins were on the road, with the home win being over injury depleted and inconsistent Houston). We expect the latter, as we are still not "sold" on Sixers w/o Brand, and they are playing tonite in a negative "rest mode" for them, as opposed to Blazers playing in a good one for them. Specifically, Blazers are playing on one day's rest, a mode where they are 13-6 SU TY with an average win by 5 points in those 19 games, while philly is a lousy 2-7 SU with an average loss by 7 points when playing on two or more days of rest, the mode they are in tonite.

While Portland has gotten most of its wins at home TY (14-4 SU at home compared to 9-10 away), Blazers have fared much better away vs C teams (and Philly is a C team w/o Brand), going 4-3 ATS with an average victorious margin of 8.5 points in those 7 games (as opposed to just 3-9 ATS visiting A and B teams), with a convincing 14 point win in Chicago LG, in their most recent game in this preferred role. But it's not just that they won, it's also that they won pretty easily despite their two top scores (Roy and Aldrdge) having bad shooting nights and scoring only 11 and 8 points, respectively. And it was once again "the outlaw" (Travis Outlaw) who filled the scoring void with 33 points, after hitting for 19 the game before, in Blazers' 13 point home win over golden state.

We have had lots of recent success going with small road faves and road dogs in this range of +3 to -2 points, where we are getting the better team and good line value, as we are here -- for example, our douible wins last 3 nights on our top NBA Plays of the Day, with double victories (both ATS and vs money line) on Miami over Minny last night, Milw over Wash Wiz Monday night, and orlando over SA Sunday night, for a combined 6-0 and about +15 units. And speaking of our Plays of the Day, we are an eye popping 42-15 (74%) for a ridiculous +75 units on our last 57 such picks, covering about two months.

At this line of -1, we would suggest taking Portland for two units. We'll be back later today with an update for our clients, and a possible individual team totals play on one or both teams.
