Pittsburgh vs. MontrealFREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Pick: UnderFOR FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Canadiens are off to a great start to the season. Much of their success can be attributed to strong defensive play and excellent goaltending.
For the season, they're allowing 2.1 goals per game, permitting an average of just 25.7 shots. (They rank in the top four in the league in both categories.) Those numbers dip to 2.0 and 24.6 respectively, when the Habs play in front of their home fans.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Recently, the Canadiens have been particularly stingy. Over their last eight games, they've allowed only 10 total goals. That's an average of only 1.25 per game. One of those games (4-3 loss vs. Islanders on 2/21) saw them allow 40% of those goals too. The Habs allowed two or less in all seven of the others, recording three shutouts during that stretch. Even with a 5-2 win over Toronto last time out, the "under" remains a lucrative 6-2 their last eight.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Note that the "under" is 30-14-4 during the past few seasons, after the Canadiens scored four or more goals in their previous game.
In most cases, I don't tend to pay too much attention to how teams fare on a particular day of the week. Saturday nights are an extra big deal in Montreal though and have a bit of a unique flavor to them. That said, I feel its worth mentioning that the "under" is 33-13-4 the last 50 times that the Canadiens played on a Saturday.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
There's no denying that the Penguins are a potent offensive team. However, after back-to-back losses, each where they gave up four or more goals, I expect the Pens to emphasize improved defensive play here.
Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma commented that his team hung goalie Marc-Andre Fleury "out to dry" last game. Needless to say, he's hoping for a better defensive effort here. (Fleury has a 3-0-1 record with a solid 2.38 GAA in his last four starts against the Canadiens.)
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Note that Malkin, one of the top offensive players in the world, remains out. Also, note that the "under" is 4-1 on the season, after Pittsburgh allowed four or more goals in its previous game.
The majority of recent Montreal games have had O/U lines of five. However, because of tonight's opponent, we're getting an extra half goal to work with, although we do have to lay some extra juice to get it. Given how many games finish with exactly five goals, as the most recent meeting (3-2 Montreal win on 2/7/12) between these teams did, that's certainly significant.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The "under" is already 5-2 this season when the Canadiens played a home game with an O/U line of 5.5. I feel its worth a look again here.

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
If you have been following my plays the past few weeks, you would already know that since the Raptors acquired Rudy Gay from Memphis, I have been riding TO pretty hard. They won six of their first eight games with Gay in the lineup, and I cashed in on most of those victories. Lately I took a few tough losses with the Raps, and I stayed away from last night's game versus the Pacers.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Much like the game versus the Grizzlies a week earlier, the Pacers totally shut down the Raptors, and Toronto wasn't able to get anything going offensively. Making matters worse, Rudy Gay struggled through a back injury, eventually bowing out in the third quarter and lying on the sidelines receiving treatment. If Gay is able to play Saturday, he certainly won't be at 100%.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Bucks are clinging to the eighth and final playoff spot, and they are playing like a team that wants to go to the playoffs. Milwaukee has won back to back road games against two tough teams, Dallas and Houston. They have had a couple of rest days since winning on a buzzer beater in Houston, and they can put the Raptors playoff hopes to bed on Saturday night.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
The Raptors come limping in playing their second game in as many nights, and their third game in four nights. With their star player ailing, they might not have a lot of fight left in them.

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
After easily disposing of Pepperdine on Wednesday, St. Mary's nailed down the latest in a long line of 25-win seasons and set the stage for a potential 8th appearance in the NCAA Tournament. While the usual accolades continue to accrue for SMC, we'd like to nominate tonight's visitors for this year's Ugly Duckling (or would it be Ugly Foal?) Awards, last season Santa Clara stumbled to an awful 8-22 record but after returning all five starters for 2012-13, the Broncos have kicked up their heels en route to a 20-win campaign. Coach Kerry Keating's crew bid their seniors farewell in Thursday's home finale against LMU, then hit the road for a regular season-ending grudge match against the Gaels. Santa Clara was punished by 21 points as a 2.5-point home dog back on Feb. 7 and Keating just so happens to own a 6-0-1 ATS mark with same-season loss revenge of 20 or more points. Series history also backs the Broncos as they've compiled an impressive 10-3 ATS record playing at McKeon Pavilion - plus the visitor has gone 17-7 ATS in all Santa Clara games this season at press time. The Gaels are a not-so-fortunate 1-4 ATS as double-digit chalk in Last Home Games under Randy Bennett but we think the biggest obstacle to SMC's focus here is this: the hosts can neither improve nor decline in the WCC standings, having already clinched the No. 2 seed in the upcoming conference tourney. St. Mary's has dropped just a single game in its last 13 outings (against nemesis Gonzaga) but we're not asking Santa Clara to spring the outright upset here. To paraphrase the late Al Davis of Oakland Raiders' fame, “Just cover, baby.” We recommend a 1-unit play on Santa Clara.

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
After a blowout loss on the road to Providence, there were rumbles that the Notre Dame Fighting Irish didn't deserve to be ranked in the top 25. In their next game, the Irish went into Pittsburgh getting double-digits, and went on to win that game outright, dominating with their defense, holding the Panthers to just 42 points in 51-42 victory. They followed that up with another impressive win at home over Cincinnati. The Irish are on the road Saturday, taking on #22 Marquette, as a significant underdog once again.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Here are my keys to the game:
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
1: Defense - The Irish have really shut down opponents in their last two games, allowing Pittsburgh to score just 42 points on 34.8 percent shooting, and holding Cincinnati to 41 on 31.5 percent from the field. The Golden Eagles have allowed an average of 70 points in their last two home games, and Syracuse shot 47.5 percent from the field in a 74-71 loss at Milwaukee last Saturday.

2: Recent History - The Irish have won three of four, covering the points in all three of their victories versus Marquette since 2010.

3: X-Factor - The Irish should dominate the boards in the this game, as they have a significant edge when it comes to rebounding, and that could be a deciding factor as we look for Notre Dame to hang in there with the Golden Eagles.

Pick: NevadaFOR FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
UNLV is coming off a rare road win but despite a rough season on the highway, the Rebels are still overvalued. With nothing to lose, Nevada will be playing loose and looking for the upset over its bitter rival. UNLV has won three straight games including a win at Wyoming last Saturday which was its first road victory since defeating San Diego St. back on January 16th. The Rebels lost four straight games on the road in-between those games and the highway has been an issue all season as they are 5-6 compared to going 16-1 at home. The shoddy road play has taken its toll on UNLV which came into the season with high expectations, and that was exemplified after starting the season 11-1 through 12 games. Those expectations also caused UNLV to be overvalued as they are 3-8 ATS in those 11 game on the road. Nevada has had the same issues as its state rival as it is 10-5 at home compared to 2-10 on the road. Obviously the home floor is not as strong but it has been solid lately. After losing against San Diego St. here on January 23rd by 21 points, the Wolf Pack have gone 2-2 at the Lawlor Events Center with the losses coming against Colorado St. by just four points and Fresno St. by five points in overtime. This is a big rivalry game even though Nevada has not held up its end of the bargain in recent years, losing seven straight meetings including a defeat by 12 points earlier this season in Las Vegas. The Wolf Pack could have UNLV right where they want them here though as the Rebels are 4-17 ATS in their last 21 road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Meanwhile, the Wolf Pack are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a loss of more than 20 points.

It took Kevin Stallings a while, but Vandy finally looks like a representative outfit, with SU wins in four of its last six after being strafed by graduation and early defections from LY’s team, which featured three NBA draft picks. The Dores’ frosh weapons G Kevin Bright (game-winning shot Wednesday vs. Georgia) and F Sheldon Jeter (from Joe Namath’s Beaver Falls, PA; 13 ppg last two and 50% from tripleville last four games) are now making consistent contributions and removing a bit of the scoring load from soph G Kedren Johnson (14 ppg). Meanwhile, it’s gone pear-shaped at Auburn, with SU losses in its last 6, and 12 of 13, while finding the 60-point barrier a hard one to break in recent weeks (the Tigers haven’t scored more than 56 in their last four games). Auburn not able to find much scoring help form overworked sr. G Frankie Sullivan (14.6 ppg), as some SEC observers begin to wonder if Tony Barbee’s regime is ever going to gain any traction on the Plains. Look for something similar to Vandy’s earlier 12-point win at Memorial Gym.

You should always play against home underdogs of 2.5 to 9.5 points like UC Riverside when they are revenging a loss where they scored less than 60 points and they are coming off a home loss. This system is 88-50 (63.8%) over the last five seasons. This game also falls into a system to play on road teams as a favorite or pick when they are forcing less than 14 turnovers per game and playing in March.

UC Riverside is a bad team. They average just 63.4 points per game on their home court and shoot an abysmal 59.5% from the free throw line. Pacific may not be a great team but they are playing towards a conference championship sitting in second place in the Big West. There is no way they will overlook any of their opponents in these last three games of the regular season and they certainly will not take their foot off the gas against this UC Riverside team.

Vanderbilt has won 7 straight over Auburn. They are 3rd in the SEC in points allowed at 59.8 PPG and have given up just 62 PPG in 8 of their L9 contests.
