This line liable to jump. Both teams played last night, LA with a huge win by 21, while the Kings struggled till the final buzzer for a 3 point win over Toronto. Kobe shows no effects from a sore knee, and LA has HUGE advantages down low and in the post here and should own the boards. Better team, more easy points, more rebounds, best player on the floor, and best coach. Laying 5 in this one on the road does not scare me, I have a power rating of 9 points here, even with the road factor figured in. The road team in this series is 13-3 ATS. Play 1 Unit on the LA Lakers
South Florida has gone 1-5 O/U in their last 6 home games and we see value with the "under" here. South Florida's defense is giving up just 10.5 ppg at home and face another sluggish offensive team. The Rutgers' offense has not produced on account of a weak offensive line that has not protected their QB (Savage and Dodd) well nor opened holes for its RBs. Rutgers averages a paltry 2.9 ypc on the ground thus making it increasingly difficult to establish any kind of passing game. On the other hand, Rutgers remains solid defensively and should be able to contain B.J. Daniels and company -- that looked good on the road at Cincinnati. But defensive minded Schiano (HC Rutgers) had extra prep time to work an effective strategy to keep turnover prone Daniels from leading the Bulls on long sustainable scoring drives. We'll look for the Rutgers' defense to bend but not give up the big play. We'll take the value with the "under" here.
