5* graded play on Yale as they take on Cornell in Ivy League action set to start at 7:00 EST. Our proprietary sports handicapping model and simulator shows a high probability that Yale will easily cover the generous 22 point spread. Just last week we nailed a winner with Cornell against Dartmouth laying a whopping 26 points and Cornell won easily 71-37. This, however, is not Dartmouth and Yale will be a far tougher opponent. We are not suggesting in any way that there could be a huge upset. We do believe that Cornell will get caught a bit complacent and Yale will be able to hang around the 10 point deficit throughout this game. Yale has won 4 of their last 6 SU. They are coming off a poor game where they shot just 35% and allowed 51% shooting in a loss to Princeton 58-45. Now, the tendency for all D-1 teams is that they play far above their season averages after posting a real poor game. After all, all of the teams have at least a few players who played at a high level in High School and maybe even leading their teams to State titles. Point is that these athletes have a tons of pride and will focus very hard after poor outings. That is how they got to this level in the first place, especially Ivy League players, who also worked very hard in the classroom. Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 29-7 ATS for 81% winners since 2004. Play against home favorites of 10 or more points after having covered 4 of their last 5 against the spread and playing with 5 or 6 days rest. Take Yale.

Friday's Action

20 Dime: HAWKS
10 Dime: TIMBERWOLVES

Hawks

Time to fade the Bulls, and it’s easy to see why.

After ending a tough seven-game Western Conference road trip with five straight upset victories, Chicago came home and lost to the Clippers 90-82 on Tuesday. Then the Bulls went to Philadelphia 24 hours later and suffered a gut-wrenching 106-103 overtime loss to the Sixers. Now it’s on to Atlanta, making this Chicago’s ninth roadie in its last 10 games going back to Jan. 18.

If that’s not rough enough, Chicago will be without one of its most important players, as center and leading rebounder Joakim Noah will miss this game with a foot injury. That’s a real bad break, considering one of the Hawks’ best players is center Al Horford (who played with Noah at Florida). Horford averages 13.4 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, and he’s coming off a double-double in Wednesday’s game against the Clippers (16 points, 10 rebounds).

Atlanta rallied to win that contest against L.A. 103-97, but failed to cover as a 9½-point favorite. That was the Hawks’ third straight non-cover – just the second time this season that the league’s #2 pointspread team has dropped three straight ATS decisions (it hasn’t lost four in a row against the number all season). Still, Atlanta is 20-5 SU and 17-8 ATS on its home court this season. One of those wins and covers came against Chicago on Dec. 9 – and what a destruction it was, as the Hawks rolled 118-83 as a 10½-point chalk. And think about this: Atlanta won that game by 35 points despite the fact Noah (11 rebounds) neutralized Horford (who finished with eight points and five rebounds in 24 minutes).

True, Chicago got a little payback 10 days later at home, going overtime for a 101-98 win over Atlanta. But all that did was snap a five-game SU and four-game ATS losing skid to the Hawks. And it doesn’t change the fact that the Bulls have lost four in a row in Atlanta, including three losses by 35, 12 and 21 points!

Then again, the Bulls have struggled against a lot of teams from Atlanta’s Southeast Division, failing to cash in 21 of their last 29 against the Hawks, Magic, Heat, Wizards and Bobcats. On the other hand, the Hawks are on ATS upticks of 19-8 as a home favorite, 9-3 against teams with a losing record, 7-2 after getting a day off and 10-4 after a non-cover.

Bottom line: The Hawks are the vastly superior team, and they’ve been dominant at home all year. And on top of that, this situation clearly favors Atlanta, which is playing its second straight home game while the Bulls are playing their third game in a different city in the last four days. In fact, check out the Bulls’ itinerary over their last 13 games: Chicago (vs. Detroit) to Boston back to Chicago (vs. Washington) then to the West Coast for seven straight road games, then home to Chicago (vs. the Clippers) then to Philadelphia and now to Atlanta.

In a word – BRUTAL! Throw in Noah’s absence, and this one’s a no-brainer, as I actually wouldn’t be at all surprised to see the Bulls (who have a home game against Dwyane Wade and the Heat tomorrow night!) throw in the towel by the midpoint of the second half.

Timberwolves

How in the hell can the Dallas Mavericks be laying double digits again at home? When will the oddsmakers learn their lesson?

Seriously, guys, this play shouldn’t surprise you in the least, as I went against Dallas twice last week when it was a home favorite and cashed both times (including Saturday, when the Blazers won outright as an 8½-point pup). And I’m still kicking myself for not playing the Warriors on Wednesday night, when Golden State went to Dallas and lost 110-101 but covered as a 12-point underdog. With that result Wednesday, the Mavericks are now – are you ready for this? – 1-17 ATS in their last 18 home games.

The one cover? A seven-point win over the Cavaliers as a 3½-point home UNDERDOG! In the other 17 games, Dallas was favored … and didn’t ONCE bring home the cash! Take away that game against the Cavaliers, and you have to go back to Nov. 18 for the last time the Mavs covered at home (and that was a 99-94 overtime win over San Antonio as a three-point pup). The last time they won a home game by more than seven points? Go back another eight days to Nov. 10!

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Yeah, but Minnesota is AWFUL.” I can’t really argue that point. But at least the TWolves are coming into Dallas with confidence, having posted by far their most dominating victories of the season – and in back-to-back fashion, crushing the Clippers by 14 points last Friday followed by Sunday’s 19-point rout of the Knicks. With those two wins and covers, Minnesota is now 8-5 ATS in its last 13 games.

Finally, two points to make about this rivalry: The home team has owned it from a pointspread persective (21-7 ATS last 28 meetings), and the TWolves have walked away with the money six straight times they’ve played in Big D!

Simply put, until the Mavericks – who have failed to cover in 20 of their last 28 overall, including the last five in a row – prove they can put away a team at home with a convincing win, I’ll keep betting against them.

4* #835 SAINT PETER?S over FAIRFIELD

No matter what the level of play is in college basketball defense
still lacks sex appeal in the marketplace. That is how a run like the
current 6-1 Saint Peter?s surge gets missed, and why we get to take a
line this high in a game in which the teams are tied in the
conference standings (8-4) there is a vast chasm between the quality
of defense being played.

The Peacocks have ratcheted their defense up to an extremely high
level in this recent surge, and through 12 Metro Atlantic games are
allowing just 36.7 from the field and 31.3 beyond the arc. Fairfield?
How about 44.3 and 37.6 in those same categories, with an * attached.
And these numbers are showing up in the pointspread categories that
we would expect ? Saint Peter?s is the epitome of a ?tough out? as a
road underdog, with a 5-1 ATS conference mark that includes four
outright wins, while the Stags are rarely putting anyone away, going
0-6 ATS as a home favorite this season, and only beating lowly Marist
by more than six points in conference action.

But now that * comes into play ? Ed Cooley is running low on numbers.
When his Fairfield team won 75-68 at Saint Peter?s back on December
6th he got 31 points and 20 rebounds in 66 floor minutes from Greg
Nero, Yorel Hawkins and Lyndon Jordan. They are all gone now. That
turned out to be Nero?s only conference appearance of the season, and
the defense has broken down badly in the two games played without
Jordan, allowing Loyola-Maryland and Rider to both shoot over 50
percent. Now the loss of Hawkins, and his 14.6 points and 5.5
rebounds per game, becomes the biggest blow of all. Jordan had
started all 10 conference games before going down and Hawkins all 12,
and now the pieces to the puzzle become awfully limited. They are
hard-pressed to merely win this game, and with that savvy Peacock
back-court of JR?s Wesley Jenkins and Nick Leon already at 149 career
starts leading the way, a win by the road team should not be
classified as an upset.

Bucks at Knicks
Pick: Bucks +3

The Buck's are the hottest team in the NBA against the number. They have covered 8 of their L9, including 4 of their L5 on the road. Milwaukee has already disposed of New York 102-87 back in November. While NY has an edge on the offensive side of the ball, the defensive edge goes to Milwaukee. New York is just horrible. They can't seem to string together solid performances. They have lost 7 of their L10 both SU and ATS. The 'dog is 6-2 ATs their L8 meetings and the road team is 5-2 ATS their L7. The Buck's are 5-2 ATS their L7 in NY. Miwaukee is also 8-0 ATS their L8 vs. the NBA Atlantic, 4-1 ATS their L5 as a 'dog, and 4-1 ATS their L5 games played on 2 days rest. New York is 2-5 ATS their L7, 1-5 ATS their L6 as a favorite of .5-4.5 points, and 0-4 ATS their L4 following a ATS win. Milwaukee covers.
