MREAST NCAAB TUESDAY PLAY OF THE DAY

The Kent St. Golden Flashes come in here as a dog with their 10-5 mark, backed by 5 wins in their last 6. The Redhawks, have been seeing red all season, at just 3-11. So why is the 3-11 team the favorite here, vs an apparently hot team winning 5 of their last 6. It's because the Red Hawks have played a much more difficult schedule, and for the most part, has been on the road, and in just about every game against much better teams. They lost by 2 at Kentucky, by 4 at Cincinnati, and by 3 at Xavier. At home they lost to Dayton by just 7, and beat a solid Wright St. team, and also dropped a 2 point decision at Colorado. The bottomline is the record is very decieving, and the Redhawks will finally matchup vs someone on equall footing. Golden Flashes not road warriors, at 7-15 ATS in their last 22 roadies. I'm going with Miami,O. in this one.

#515 KENT ST. GOLDEN FLASHES @ #516 MIAMI,O. REDHAWKS 7PM EST

Dwayne Bryant

Villanova at Louisville
Bet: Louisville -3

After a sluggish 5-3 start that included home losses to Charlotte and Western Carolina, Louisville is rolling. The Cardinals have won seven of their last eight, with the only loss coming at Kentucky. Yes, Villanova is a damn tough opponent that can go 10 deep. But Rick Pitino's Cardinals can go just as deep, and I really like the size advantage Louisville has down low with 6'9" Samardo Samuels going against smaller 'Nova forwards. The Cardinals can play up-tempo and they can play at a snail's pace. That versatility is also huge. I expect the home court edge to be huge tonight in what should be a frenzied Louisville crowd at Freedom Hall. This is the Cardinals' chance to prove (in front of a national TV audience on ESPN) that they can once again win the Big East. A statement game indeed. Take Louisville.

Re: 1-12-10

Randall the Handle

HOME TEAM IN CAPS
All games include OT unless stated otherwise



Carolina +1.37 over TORONTO (REG)
The Hurricanes are pretty much “free-rolling” these days with no pressure on them whatsoever and with no shot of going anywhere this season they’re actually playing a whole lot better. The Canes have won three of its last four and that includes a win in New York against the Rangers. In all three games they allowed just one goal against. The Canes have some young call-ups that have inserted some life into them and the whole team is playing with enthusiasm. After a nice run the Leafs have sunk back near the bottom of the East. They have to be feeling a ton of pressure after losses in five of six including three straight. They could at least be forgiven for another loss if a good team was in town but that’s not the case. A loss here would be inexcusable and the press will be all over it should that come to pass. The Leafs propensity for falling behind early is a huge problem and they’re really in a no-win situation tonight, as a win is expected and a loss will be crippling. The Leafs are not a team you want to lay juice with and again, they’ll be playing with a lot of pressure on tem in this one. Play: Carolina +1.37 (Risking 2 units).

ATLANTA -½ +1.10 over Ottawa (REG)
The Sens may snap out of it at some point but until they do why not bet against them? This is a team that is mentally beat before they even step on the ice. They’re not scoring goals and that’s playing on their minds big time, thus, it’ll be near impossible to catch this offensive juggernaut should they fall behind again. The Sens have lost four straight and over that stretch they’ve been outscored 16-4. They have two netminders that are struggling, fighting the puck and playing with no confidence whatsoever. Spezza, Alfredsson and Michalek are all still on the rack and that doesn’t leave many other options. The Thrashers are in a deep funk too but they have goal scorers and they have goaltending (most of the time). They were absolutely whacked in its last game to the tune of 8-1 by the Caps and you know for sure they’ll come out hungry tonight after that humiliation. The Thrashers have been off since Saturday and likely can’t wait to get back on the ice to erase that memory. Play: Atlanta -½ +1.10 (Risking 2 units).

PHILADELPHIA -½ +1.54 over Dallas (1st Period)
The more I observe these lines and record the outcome the more I like them and will start playing them beginning here. If your team isn’t up at least a goal by end of the first period, do you really want them the rest of the game laying a half puck with a lot less take-back? I know I don’t and what usually happens is that the dog gains steam if they have a good first period and are tied or leading after one. What I do know is that the Flyers are lighting it up big time these days and in fact, has scored 28 times in its last six games. Over that stretch of six games they scored six or more three times and that includes 6 on the Rangers and 7 on the Penguins. Meanwhile, the Stars only notable output over its last five games is when they scored four on Rick DiPietro, a guy that’s been out for over a year. Throw out that one and they’ve scored three times in the other four games and that coincides with Mike Robeiro and Nicklas Grossman getting injured. Dallas has dropped seven straight and 10 of its last 11 on the road and asking them to keep pace here is a stretch at best. Philly is playing great, they’re rested and they should have tons of energy out of the gate. Play: Philadelphia -½ +1.54 in the first period (Risking 2 units).

EDMONTON +1.02 over Nashville (REG)
This is strictly a situational play, as the Oilers have been off since Thursday while the Preds played last night in Vancouver and will play its third game in four nights. It was a good win for them last night, thus they’ll be less of a sense of urgency for this one. The Oilers are slowly returning to health and the reports are that they’ll get another healthy body back tonight in Lubomir Visnovsky and that has to help. One has to figure the Oilers to have a jump in their step tonight with all that time off in the midst of a horrible slump. This is not a bad team in terms of talent and goaltending is a bit of an issue but we’re going with the best of it here in that the Preds have to be fatigued while the young Oilers will be at home and full of energy. Play: Edmonton +1.02 (Risking 2 units).

Wunderdog

Game: Penn State at Illinois (9:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Illinois -8.5 (-110)

Illinois has slowly begun building the program back up. The first thing that comes is restoring home dominance, and they certainly have done a good job of that. They have opened the season at 9-0 in Champagne. The Nittany Lions are too dependent on Taylor Battle - their only double-digit scorer. He is on the floor for 36 minutes per game, and the Illini will shut him down. The rest of the supporting cast just isn't good enough to make this one close. The Illini have a tremendous home-court advantage and feed off the energy, and without any answers beyond Battle, it will be a long night for the Nittany's. I'll go with Illinois in this one.

6* W ido w W iseg uy Lakers/Spurs Western Conference G AM E OF THE M ONT H on L.A. Lakers +3.5(-110 at bookm)

The Lakers catching points against the Spurs tonight is an absoulute gift. L.A. has lost 2 of their last 3, so this team is highly motivated led by the best player in the league in Kobe Bryant who doesn't settle for anything less than getting the best effort from his teammates. The Lakers are 25-10-2 ATS in their last 37 games as a road underdog. The Spurs are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. The Spurs are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. The Spurs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite of 0.5-4.5. These last 3 trends going against the Spurs add up to a 20-2 (91%) ATS Angle backing the Lakers tonight. Take the Lakers and the points.



5* W iseg uy C B B G AM E OF THE N IGH T on Bradley +13.5(-106 at 5dimes)

Northern Iowa is a great team, there's no questioning that. But after their 14-1 start to the season, their lines are starting to get inflated and that's certainly the case tonight against Bradley. 7 of the last 8 meetings in this series have been decided by 13 points or less. The Panthers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite of 13.0 or greater. Bradley is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings at UNI. The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings, and the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. These teams have played a very competitive series in their history, and this game will be much more competitive than this line indicates. Take Bradley and the points.



4* on Pistons/Wizards UNDER 199(+101 at 5dimes)

Detroit was hoping to add offense to their team in the offseason with the signing of Ben Gordon, but it just hasn't happened for them this season. The Pistons are scoring only 91.5 points/game in what had been another dreadful year for this franchise. Detroit has lost 13 straight games and have failed to score more than 98 points in any of those 13 contests. With this total set nearly at 200 points, the clear value is with the UNDER tonight. 3 of their last 4 meetings with Washington have resulted in 194 or less combined points. Detroit is 18-6 UNDER (+11.4 Units) after allowing 55 points or more in the first half in 2 straight games since 1996. The UNDER is 4-1 in Pistons last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Take the UNDER 199 points here.
