20 Units, Take Michigan ATS, This pick falls into one of my top CBB systems and Purdue is just 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games. Purdue has struggled on the road this season and they barely got by the same Iowa team in their last road game that Michigan beat by 15 points at home back on January.11. Michigan did just lose to Iowa but that was on the road and they shot just 32.3% from the field and yet only lost by 10 points. Michigan has dominated teams at home this season winning by an average of 11.8 ppg while averaging 71.2 ppg with a 13-3 SU record. Michigan is 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games as a home dog of 3 points or less and they are also 15-5 SU in those games. Michigan's opponents at home have gone to the line against them just 11.38 times per game which is ranked #1 in the country and Michigan offensively is averaging 25.94 shots from beyond the arc at home which is ranked #4 in the country. This is the same Michigan team that beat Duke and UCLA earlier this season and they should of beat Iowa on the road in their last game but let them back into the game to force OT while shooting just 32.3% from the field compared to Iowa who shot 47.1%. Michigan could of beat Purdue in their last meeting but their #1 scorer and #2 scorer in the Big Ten (Manny Harris 16.9 ppg) was ejected from the game because of an elbow to the nose of Purdue guard Chris Kramer. Purdue with Harris out for Michigan outscored them 40-20 to go on to win by 18 points, now keep this in mind, this was at Purdue and Michigan had the lead before their #1 scorer was ejected. Take the Michigan Wolverines as my NCAAB Big Ten Game of the Month.

Ai Simulator 7* graded play on Ottawa as they host San Jose slated to start at 7:35 EST. Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 39-17 making 30.2 units since 2003. Play against road favorites of -200 or less against the money line outscoring their opponents by 0.3+ goals/game in the 2nd half of the season and after a loss by 2 goals or more in their previous game. As many of unfortunately know we lost a 10* play on San Jose last night 4-1 to the Detroit Red Wings. Here is a second system that has gone 77-63 making 36.2 units since 1996. Play against a favorite against the money line after having won 3 of their last 4 games and is a tired team playing their 2nd road game in 2 days. San Jose is just 2-8 against the money line (-8.8 Units) in road games when playing their 4th game in 7 days this season. Take Ottawa.

My 20* College Basketball Underdog Game of the Year is the UAB Blazers plus the points over the Memphis Tigers. This is a long awaited game for me as I have had this particular game circled since the season began, and I couldn?t have asked for a better setup heading into it. The 4th ranked Memphis Tigers visit the unranked 19-8 SU UAB Blazers in a big Conference USA matchup. The Blazers are a perfect 12-0 SU at home this season and 9-3 SU in the Conference. They have won 9 of their last 10 games and certainly are on the bubble as to whether they will be dancing next month or not. They played a solid early season non-conference schedule but only really picked up one signature win and that was a win that has gotten better as the season has progressed against Arizona. Outside of that win they had losses to Oklahoma, BC, Cincinnati, Louisville and Butler. This is an absolute must win spot for them to have any chance at a bubble bid but more importantly this game means a lot more to the Blazers in terms of revenge. Last season Memphis highly ranked and undefeated came into UAB and escaped with a controversial one point victory after UAB had a last second shot waved off. The Blazers were up two at the half in that game and returned basically the same starting lineup from last year?s team. Seniors Vaden, Kinnard and Delaney (who was injured last year) are all on their last hooray and looking at this game as their Championship in their careers. Meanwhile Memphis was supposed to be going through a rebuilding year this season but after a couple losses early have blown through a very bad Conference USA schedule. Blazers have the talent to keep up unlike the rest of the conference and The ESPN cameras will be visiting, the arena is sold out and the school is giving out gold t shirts for a ?gold rush?. Home crowd will be rocking and I look for Vaden and crew to get the job done against a Memphis team that comes in vastly overrated and overvalued due beating up on the poor C-USA teams this season. I currently have this line at +4.5. My 20* College Basketball Underdog Game of the Year is the UAB Blazers plus the points. As always, Good Luck, Let?s make some money.

Understanding that Alvin Gentry wants to return the Suns to their fun and gun days, but that strategy isn't going to fly against elite teams, particularly minus Amar'e Stoudemire. Shaq is their best bet, and a heavy emphasis on him figures to slow the game down. Don't see either team getting to 120, which at least one will have to do to net this huge total. Take the under.

I'll make a contrarion wager against the best record in the Eastern Conference, as the Cleveland Cavaliers hit Houston to face the red hot Rockets, who have won a season-high 5 consecutive games. That 5 game win streak does include convincing wins over Western powers Portland and Dallas.
The Rockets have held serve on home court, evidenced by their startling 23-6 record on this floor this season. They've also held King James and his court in check here, as Houston boasts a dominating 17-3 record against Cleveland in the Cavs last 20 games in Houston. In fact, LeBron James has only 1 career win on this floor, and that was a 2 point overtime buzzer-beater back in 2006.
