double-dime bet 713 Louisiana Tech 2.5 (-110) BetUS vs 714 NMex St
Analysis: PLAY: LOUISIANA TECH
RATING: DOUBLE DIME PLAY
Get revenge spot here for Louisiana Tech. You know I'm a Big situational Capper and we have a situation here that sets up perfectly. First Louisiana Tech just lost 2 games ago to New Mexico St at home as a 10 point favorite so why do I like them tonight? Well the game before that Louisiana Tech was was Hawaii in January. Yeah middle of winter play in Hawaii then return home and don't play for a week. Can you say vacation??? Well simply put Louisiana Tech wasn't mentally prepared for New Mexico St. They will be tonight and New Mexico St is coming off a Big Revenge Win on Saturday over San Jose St. I have Louisiana Tech winning this game by 5 or more. TAKE LOUISIANA TECH as MARCO'S MONDAY 5* KE„Y RELEASE

Craig Davis Monday's Lineup
30 Dime – VILLANOVA
15 Dime – MAVERICKS
VILLANOVA --- Either Vegas is setting us up with the "trap" of a lifetime or we're getting some tremendous line value after the way each team performed over the weekend. I prefer to believe we're getting some solid line value after Villanova played like crap at Georgetown (at least defensively) Saturday and then had to turn around and travel out of the snowy weather for another game just over 48 hours later. All the cards seem to be stacked against the Wildcats in this one with all the "outside" factors, but when you boil it down to the nuts and bolts of both these teams, I think you have to favor Villanova to at least stay within this number (which is currently sitting at +6 at the time of this writing).
I have no doubt in my mind that West Virginia is more than capable of winning this game, but the fact that they just pummeled St. Johns Saturday kinda tells me they are not treating any one game more importantly than another. Had they struggled to beat the Johnnies I might be a little hesitant to back the Wildcats in this spot, saying the Mounties were flat Saturday because they were looking ahead to this one... but, in fact, I believe it was the Wildcats who were looking ahead and that's why they came out flat at Georgetown. Meanwhile, the Hoyas lost a second-half lead at home vs. South Florida and eventually lost the game SU, which is another reason I liked G'town so much over Villanova.
When I handicap these college basketball games, I always take that into consideration before I release a play, and my feeling is that Villanova wants this game more, needs this game at least as much as, and is simply more talented overall than West Virginia. Villanova has been cash cow this season, covering 15 of their 21 lined games, including an 8-4 mark away from home. West Virginia, on the other hand, has burned cash this year, covering just 9 of 21 lined games with a 4-6 ATS mark at home. I've watched two recent West Virginia games, from wire to wire (Ohio State and Louisville)... both home games... and two games in which they were fortunate to come out on top. I'm not saying West Virginia is incapable of winning tonight, but to ask them to beat a very good Villanova team by 6 or more is a tall task. I'll take Villanova PLUS the number as my top play of the day.
DALLAS MAVERICKS --- If there's anything I've learned about the Dallas Mavericks this year, it's to bet against them at home and back them on the road. Despite their recent slide, the Mavs are still the best road team in the Western Conference and we find them in a GREAT spot tonight. A good team (like the Mavs) that is desperate for a win can often times use a game like this to get themselves back on track. Despite being 31-19 on the season, the Mavs could be a lot better (record-wise) than they are right now, had it not been for the fact they dropped four out of their last five and five of their last eight. Not only that, but the Mavs haven't covered a number since that 128-78 win over the Knicks back on January 24th.
I'm not going to say the Mavs are desperate, but this is as close to desperation as it gets. They need a win to get back where they used to be... the #2 seed in the West. For several weeks the Mavericks were the second best team (at least according to their record) in the Western Conference, but this recent slide has pushed them down the fourth best record in the Conference and they're in danger of falling further behind. The Mavs might not score as many points as the Warriors do, but they do shoot a better percentage from three-point land and from the line, they rebound and defend better, they turn the ball over less and they have a deeper bench. Golden State is going to play a nearly flawless game to stay within this number tonight, and with desperation in Mavs camp, I'm comfortable backing them as a small road favorite. Mavs by 8.Comment

Re: 2-8-10
Dominic Fazzini Monday's winner 10 Dime -- Kansas (minus points vs. TEXAS)
KANSAS
The Longhorns are having problems right now, going 2-4 in their last six games. And they've been even worse to be on, going 1-9 ATS over their last 10 games.
Facing the Jayhawks today, even if it is at home, is no way to try and get back on track, and Texas isn't going to be able to do it.
Sherron Collins and Xavier Henry form a dangerous backcourt for Kansas, and Cole Aldrich and Marcus Morris should make things tough for Longhorns star Damion James in the paint.
Kansas is 17-7-2 ATS in its last 26 games against Big 12 opponents, while Texas is 6-21-1 ATS in its last 28 conference games.
The Jayhawks have won five of the last six meetings between the teams, though they haven't won in Austin since Feb. 11, 2002. But I think Kansas will use its balance on offense and tough defense to get past Texas today. Go with the Jayhawks to get the victory on the road.Comment

triple-dime bet 708 W.Virginia -5.0 (-110) Bodog vs 707 Villanova
Analysis:
*** CBB on ESPN 3* BEST BET OF THE DAY ***
I just had to sit and wait patiently because a very strong source told me that he was very certain that Bodog would take the line down to -5 sometime before they tip-off...And if they hadn't already done so by the time of the scheduled Final Update...I would have simply been forced to pass along that info and hope for the best...But instead, I was just able to BET -5 on WV right now...And we've all seen just how much each 1/2 point can matter in all sports, but especially in basketball lately...Shop for the best number at all times beca‰use there is no reason to pay more for something when you know there is cheaper available...VR

double-dime bet 716 Texas 2.0 (-110) BetUS vs 715 Kansas
Analysis:
** CBB on ESPN 2* PERSONAL PLAY ** (Late Confirmation)
BODOG is using +2.5...But is asking for an extra 5 cents which isn't worth it, although seeing that has madeƒ me want to wait and see if they drop that vig...And also, if more "square shops" go ahead and adjust to 2.5 as well...Remember, this is the Late ESPN Match-Up...so there is no reason to rush, when the chance to get a better price just may be there...VRComment
