FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
I think this is a good spot for Old Dominion to pick up a rare win. It has been a tough year for the Monarchs as they are 3-23 on the season and after losing 20 of their first 22 games, the let go long time head coach Blaine Taylor but it is believed there is more to it than just a bad season as his history in Norfolk was outstanding. Old Dominion responded with a huge effort as it won at Drexel by 12 points as 12-point underdogs and then followed that up with two close losses, one by five points against Northeastern in overtime and the second by a bucket on the road at Delaware. The Monarchs are coming off a 12-point loss against William & Mary on Saturday but the opportunity is right to back them here. NC-Wilmington is coming off an upset win on Saturday as it defeated first place Northeastern by six points at home as a 4.5-point underdog so the Seahawks will be in letdown mode come Wednesday as they take to the road where it has been a nightmare season. They are 1-13 on the road this season with the lone win coming at Hofstra and for the entire season, the home team is 22-4 in NC-Wilmington's 26 games. It won the first meeting at home but it came by just five points so the Monarchs know they can play this team good enough to take care of business. The Seahawks are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games following an ATS win while Old Dominion is 9-4 ATS in its last 13 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400.

The Celtics did indeed play last night in Denver but I expect the team to bounce back and at least make this one a contest against storied rival the LA Lakers. The Celtics won the last meeting between these two teams after the season ending injury to Rajon Rondo and I expect the veteran laden group to again make it a game here. The Celtics are 5-3 ATS in February and are one of the hottest teams in the NBA of late with wins in eight of their last 10.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
The Lakers have been widely inconsistent all year and have failed to cover the spread in seven of the last 10 games. The Celtics won the last meeting by double digits but the two meetings before that were games decided by an average of 2.5 points. It would be smart to grab the points in this matchup. The play is on Boston to at least cover the spread, a free play.

This one nearly made he unit rated cut tonight and is a solid free selection. Oakland is 26-5 vs losing teams and is 6-1 straight up and to the spread as a road favorite of 3 or less. In their last 19 February games they have emerged with a win 16 times. Tonight they take on Indiana Fort Wayne or IUFW for short. IUFW has lost and failed to cover 3 of 4 times as a short home dog of 3 or less and has lost 9 of 10 times vs teams with a winning record. They have also lost 3 of 4 off a conference win and have lost 12 of the last 14 in the series vs Oakland, so we will lay the small number here tonight with Oakland.

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
Houston is a dog but is a decent team (15-9) with plenty of offensive punch, 15th in the nation in scoring pouring in 77.9 ppg. They take on a Memphis club that is in first place and in the national spotlight, but the Tigers are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600. The Tigers are also 2-7 ATS in their last 9 home games and look for Houston's offense to keep this Conference USA rivalry game close. Play Houston!

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
Auburn has lost nine of its last ten, so the Tigers are not exactly go with material right now. But I kind of like the way they match up with Texas A&M and it's not like the Aggies are impressing anyone right now. A&M stunned Kentucky on the road a while back, but it's been mostly downhill subsequently. The Aggies are just 3-7 in their last ten, and they've struggled on the SEC road. The long range shooting has been abysmal, and the two freshmen who play big minutes, Caruso and Reese, are both turnover prone. I think we're going to see Auburn play lots of zone defense tonight, and that could be a problem for the visitors. The one area that concerns me most is second chance opportunities for A&M, as they're tough on the offensive glass, while the Tigers are about as one and done as it gets in the SEC. I like the fact that the hosts are off a very lopsided loss that should turn bettors off tonight. I think it's a good spot to jump in as it's a winnable game for Auburn. Pick the winner, get the money and mine will go on Auburn tonight to capture a close game.

I won with the "over" when these two teams met yesterday, part of a 5-0 Tuesday "sweep." The final score eclipsed the total long before the game reached OT.

The second game of a home and home series is often played at a different tempo from the first though. That said, I'm expecting significantly fewer points in tonight's rematch.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
As noted yesterday, the Nets score more points AND they also allow more, when playing at Brooklyn. When playing on the road, as they are this evening, the "under" is a profitable 15-9. (Those games averaged 187 points.) That includes a 5-1 "under" mark when the Nets played a road game with an O/U line in the 190 to 194.5 range.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
The Nets have also seen the "under" go 10-6-1 the last 17 times (9-4-1 L14 on the road) that they played the second of back-to-back games, dating back to last season. That includes a 2-0 "under" mark their last two in that situation. Those games finished with scores of 183 and 173.

Meanwhile, the Bucks have seen the "under" go 7-5 the last dozen times that they played their second game in two days. Note that Milwaukee was held to double-digits in scoring in nine of those games and that only four of those 12 opponents hit triple-digits.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
The Bucks, who entered the break off four straight games which stayed below the total, have seen the "under" go 11-6-1 the past couple of seasons, when playing a home game where the O/U line ranged from 190 to 194.5.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
It should also be noted that the O/U line was only 187 when Brooklyn visited here earlier in the season. We're getting considerably more points to work with here and I feel that's providing some value. Consider the Under.

It seems like the dishes they've been serving in Hattiesburg this season must be cold as the Golden Eagles are a perfect 3-0 SUATS at home this year with revenge - with the average win coming by 27 points. And with the host in this series 9-2 ATS all-time, expect the Miners to receive another 'cold' reception from the Reed Green Coliseum crowd. As it is, UTEP arrives off a 15-point double-revenge win over Central Florida and that brings its 0-6 ATS regular-season log after jousting with the Knights into play. Worse, the Miners' mediocre 14-10 SU record this season also brings the Eagles' bully-like 14-1 SU and 8-4 ATS mark this season versus sub .600 opposition to the forefront. Either way, we look for the revenge-minded hosts to dish out more payback in front of the home faithful. An easy lay on hump day. We recommend a 1-unit play on Southern Miss.

FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVlCE PLAYS VlSlT THESPREAD.COM
The Grizzlies man-handled Detroit last night, winning 105-91. After giving up an abnormal 30 points in the first quarter, Memphis would then give up that many over the next two. "We were a little rusty," the Grizzlies' Tony Allen said yesterday. "Once we got our composure we were able to do what we do best. We played great defense and pounded the ball inside." But as good as its defense has been all year, Memphis has now won four in a row behind a superior offensive unit which is averaging 104.3 points on 52.2 percent shooting, including almost 42% from behind the arc during the streak (Memphis is 13-6 ATS in non-conference games, and 12-10 ATS on the road). Rudy Gay faces his former team for the first time tonight. Gay has been instrumental in helping his team win its last five in a row, averaging 21.1 points, most recently winning 96-88 at Washington last night. Gay would have 24 points, eight boards and three steals. The Raptors though have not won six straight since 2009, and I believe will stumble here (Toronto is 2-3 ATS this year as a home fav of 3 points or less, and just 12-13 ATS in non-conference games). I simply can't see the Raptors keeping pace with the Grizzlies offense.

This is a free play on Morehead State. It's Senior Night at Morehead State, the final game of its home portion of its 2012-13 schedule. This is in fact a double revenge situation for the home side. In last year's setback the Eagles actually held the lead with four minutes left when the Racers were 18-0 and ranked nationally. These teams are very evenly matched, a sentiment shared by the oddsmakers. The difference is the significant external motivating factors working in favor of the home side!

Memphis’ class edge over the rest of the C-USA has really manifested itself in recent weeks, as the Tigers’ SU win streak has swelled to 16 (ranking behind only Akron’s 17 straight nationally). With hard-to-conceal manpower advantages, Josh Pastner’s side is now handling inflated numbers at the FedEx Forum, blowing out Tulsa & UCF in recent home tilts after dropping its previous 7 vs. the number as host. League foes having a hard time coping physically with imposing 260-pounders Tariq Black & Shaq Goodwin in the paint, while soph F Adonis Thomas (16 ppg last four) & former juco G Geron Johnson (19 ppg last four) have upped their production markedly in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Houston mostly spinning its wheels, dropping 4 of last 5 vs. the line on the road, as HC James Dickey can’t find game-to-game consistency due mostly to defensive breakdowns, which again proved costly in Saturday’s 3-OT loss at Tulsa. Tigers maneuvering themselves into possible Big Dance protected seed (1 thru 4) territory and a favorable sub-regional assignment. Price is steep at FedEx Forum, but Memphis worth the risk.

The Flyers are coming off a 7-0 win in New York against the Islanders and they've scored 14 goals over their last 4 games (over 3 goals per game during that span). The Penguins have won three straight games scoring 11 goals during that span (just under 4 goals per game). They've won 8 of their last 10 games and in those wins they've scored 34 goals (4.25 goals per game). These two teams met once this year and it was a 3-1 Pittsburgh win in Philadelphia, but they played very high scoring games last season. The OVER is 5-1-1 in their last 7 meetings in Pittsburgh (which included some totals of 6, 6.5 and even 7 in last years playoff series). The OVER is 20-8-1 in the Penguins last 29 home games and 35-15-2 in their last 52 overall. Take the OVER here tonight.

The St Louis Blues were stuck in Vancouver after a 4-3 shootout victory due to airplane troubles and went home to lose 2-1 against San Jose last night. They now have to head right to Colorado to play another game, so I wouldn't be surprised if they come out slow tonight. The Blues are 3-1 in their last 4 games, but just 3-6 in their last 9 games. In those 6 losses they scored just 1 goal four times. The Avs are coming off a big 6-5 win against Nashville on Monday, and are 2-1 over their last three games. In those games they've scored 14 goals. The Avalanche are below .500, but are a solid 4-2-1 at home this year. This will be these two teams first meeting of the 2013 season, but the Avs are 9-3 in their last 12 meetings overall and 22-6-4 in their last 32 meetings in Colorado. Given that the Blues played three straight road games, got stuck in Vancouver, are playing in a back to back on the road, and haven't had much success against the Avs, I like Colorado as home underdogs tonig
