GEORGIA -1 over Alabama: Georgia had a slow start to their SEC season, but they have really picked it up late, winning their last 5 games, including road wins at Texas A&M, South Carolina and Tennessee. The Dawgs are a solid 9-5 at home and hold teams to just 58.5 ppg on 37% shooting on their home floor. Not good news for an Alabama squad that has averaged just 53.4 ppg on 37.7% shooting in their last 5 games overall, while in their last 3 on the road they have put up 49.3 ppg. The Alabama defense is tough just like Georgia's, but the Dawgs offense is a bit better right now (60.6 ppg last 5), they are on a roll and have this game at home. Alabama is 3-5 on the road this year and I look for Georgia to win this one late.

Kentucky +10.5 over FLORIDA: I know that the Gators have been rolling at home this year, but Kentucky is starting to figure things out as all their freshmen talent is starting to gel. The Cats have won 5 in a row, including a 13 point road win at Ole Miss. Florida has outscored their opponents by 28.5 ppg at home, but they beat Ole Miss by just 14, so I would say the Cats victory over the Rebels was a bit more impressive. The Gators are also missing Yeguete for this one and he is one of their better defenders. Kentucky has averaged 76.4 ppg in their last 5 and they are 30th in the nation in defensive efficiency. I expect the Cats to come up with enough plays to keep this one in single digits.

Miami/ Portland Under 200: A few games ago I had the Under in the Miami/ Charlotte game and it was a winner. The Bobcats are a team that Miami should have been able to name their score against, but in my writeup I also stated that that was the kind of game that their offense will take the night off. Miami did hit 99 points in that one, but Charlotte does allow 100+ points on the road and Miami could have had a whole bunch more vs them if they wanted to . I feel this is another spot that the Heat will do just enough offensively to win this game, especially coming off Houston, the Lakers and the Clippers and with Oklahoma City on deck. Clearly a flat spot for Miami and I don't expect high octane offenses from them in this one. Portland has put up 101.5 ppg on their current road trip, but Orlando, Dallas, Minnesota and Houston play some of the worst defense in the league. that is not the case with Miami. The Heat are 12th in points allowed and 7th in defensive FG %, and they come in allowing just 94.6 ppg in their last 5 games overall and 96.3 ppg at home. This may be the most telling stat about the Portland offense. Portland averages 95 ppg on the road this year, but they have played 7 road games vs top 12 defenses and have averaged just 87.2 ppg, with those games averaging just 180 ppg and just one of these games put up more than 183 points. I see the Heat playing a bit close to the vest offensively tonight as this is one of those games that their offense will take the night off, while their defense will be stellar as always. Portland cant score on the road vs good defensive teams and they also slow the game down. All that will happen here as well as this game is played in the 180's.

Phoenix/ Lakers Under 201.5: The Lakers could be in an offensive flat spot here are they are off a long road trip. The Lakers haven't been putting up the big offensive numbers as earlier in the year, because they have been playing a bit more controlled at that end of the floor. Defense has been a disaster for the Lakers for the most part this year,but they allow just 97 ppg at home and Phoenix has averaged just 95 ppg on the road and they have averaged just 90.5 ppg in their last 19 games, hitting the century mark just once over that span.I expect the Lakers to keep them under wraps in this one. Phoenix does allow 104.4 ppg on the road, but I just don't see the Lakers going all out on offense here, especially coming off the long road trip and with the Clippers on deck. these teams met in Phoenix at the End of January and just 178 points were scored in that one. I don't expect more than 190 in this one.

Not sold on LA laying any type of number like this to anyone, especially a division oppoenent. Going to continue to fade LA in this sport after going against them on Sunday against the Heat. The Suns offense has been in the tank thge last 5 games at just under 90 ppg but the Lakers defense in their last 5 games has given up 99 ppg. Lakers win, but Suns covber the number, and remember 2 weeks ago LA lost by 6 at Phoenix.

The New York Rangers face the Boston Bruins for the third time this season after they split the first two meetings. Rangers head coach John Tortorella recently shook up the lines and it has paid off with plenty of goals coming from outside the big three of Nash, Gaborik, and Richards the last two games. Boston is a very tough place to play, and this is a very good and deep team, but I see it as a tough spot for the Bruins as decent size favorites. This line is a bit too inflated and we find good value backing New York in a situation that sees Boston in a "sandwich" game. Boston played in Buffalo Sunday night, and they play in Buffalo Friday night after tonight’s home tilt. I never like to back a team that comes back home to play just one game before going back onto the road. Boston is just 8-12 (all 20 games as a home favorite) dating back to the 2009-10 season in this situation. This is a very good opportunity to grab a live dog in a special situational spot.

In the tipoff of Super Tuesday, the emerging Kentucky Wildcats go for the conference lead against the Florida Gators who until their shocking upset at Arkansas, appeared to have the league title to themselves. But tonight they enter following three consecutive spread losses and without the services of big man Yeguete (knee). In addition, starting big man Murphy (ankle), the ultimate stretch four, will be compromised. That leaves the paint to Kentucky's quickly blooming frosh, Noel, who leads the country with nearly five blocks per game. Favor Calipari and his NCAA Championship pedigree in the role of road dog where he is 27-13 ATS, and with momentum as he is 70-45 ATS following three or more conference wins. But before you take off the rubber band, understand that Florida HC Billy D. is a remarkable 26-6 ATS following consecutive spread losses vs an opponent off a win. Must note that in 23 games this season, Kentucky has lost by double digits only twice.

In the second half of the Super Tuesday ESPN double header, my allegiance is with the home standing Spartans. With all the media hype surrounding Michigan this season, this is actually a perception reality game. Michigan's Trey Burke gets all the ink as the best point guard in the nation. He is aided by tremendous perimeter power in Hardaway, Stauskas, and GR III. The Wolves rotating trio of interior players is filling that role beautifully. But in their last two road games, they lost at Indiana and Wisconsin (in OT). As a result, they find themselves trailing Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin in the Big 10 standings. Surely they will get the bounce, as HC Beilein has a career record of 36-16 ATS following a conference loss. But before you talk yourself in to a bounce back play on the Wolves, consider the momentum, home court, and pedigree of the host. They surely have their own motivation, with the realization that this is the first time since 1998 that Michigan has been the higher rated team when these teams get together. That is characterized by the fact that MI St is 19-6 SU in this series. In addition, consider the strong home court of the Breslin Center where State is 31-1 SU L2Y, including 14-0 TY, allowing just 35% from the field. Crafty 18th year HC Izzo, gives away nothing on the bench to the shrewd Beilein. Home team wins this one at the buzzer.

RUTGERS -4 over Seton HallFREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM

Traditionally, these two New Jersey schools have played really close games over the years with 12 of the past 13 being decided by six points or less. That gives appeal to the visitor but we just can’t get on board with that. Aside from injuries to key personnel, the Pirates are a turnover machine, ranking 332nd in the country in coughing it up. On the road, where the Hall is 2-6, that’s suicide. Both clubs are near the bottom of the Big East but unlike Rutgers, Seton Hall continues to get blown out by superior competition.

Despite being 3-8 in the conference, the Scarlet Knights have been mostly competitive with a 6-point loss to Georgetown, a three-point loss at Notre Dame, and an eight-point defeat at Cincinnati, They also have a five-point home win over Pitt. Rutgers strength of schedule ranks 20th in the nation while the Pirates SOS ranks 81st. Rutgers has played seven of its past 10 games against ranked opponents and that should have them very ready to take this huge step down in class. Seton Hall has Syracuse at home up next and being so erratic and looking ahead to that one, they should be easy prey for the host.
