San Diego at NEVADA (-8')
By Michael Cannon, Featured Handicapper
Utah loses outright last night and drops my free play record to 11-8-1 with my last 20 releases.
Lay the points with Nevada tonight when they host San Diego.
There is a big size disparity in this game with San Diego's leading rebounder listed at 6-7.
That won't matchup well with a Nevada froncourt that boasts 6-11 Javale McGee, 6-9 DeMarshay Johnson and 7-1 David Ellis.
Nevada has struggled somewhat trying to find themselves in the early going, but tonight offers them an opportunity for a temporary fix.
San Diego is nothing special offensively and probably won't be able to stop Nevada from slowly pulling away as the game goes on.
Lay the points as Nevada grabs the home win and cover.

San Diego (+8) at NEVADA
By Sports Gambling Hotline, Featured Handicapper
We gave you another winner last night on the Bulls to make it a 24-12 comp play run the last 36 days!
Tonight we have a college underdog play, as we believe the public and the linemakers are still caught up in this Nevada team, even though the Wolfpacks best two players have moved on to the next level. Both Nick Fazekas, and Ramon Sessions are in the NBA, and the 'Pack are struggling to find their indentity this season without them, as they are only 3-4 for the year, and just 2-4 against the spread in games with a line!
San Diego is a team on the uptick, as they won 18-games last year, have plenty of returning talent, and also have a new head coach to boot!
The Toreros are a perfect 5-0 against the spread on the road this year, and 7-3 overall against the spread as they are off to a 5-6 start and looking to even their ledger at .500 with the road win tonight.
They may not get the outright, but we do like them to get the cover.
Play on Diego!

The VSE Hoops Power Play of the Day is:
Take Boston (-15) over Sacramento (NBA Power Play)
CTO ( CONFIDENTIAL TIP OFF)
PRINCETON over *Penn State...No, Pete Carril hasn’t reappeared on Princeton bench. But disciple Sydney Johnson (‘97 Ivy MVP) has Tigers
doing a pretty good “Carril Ball” imitation in his first season as HC, with familiar pass-and-screen tactics controlling pace and allowing Princeton
to stay competitive vs. higher-regarded foes. And we’re not sure how highly to regard Penn State, which is laboring on offense (mere 40%
FGs & 30% 3s) with key F Cornley (bruised knee) in and out of lineup, putting too much scoring pressure on G Claxton.
PRINCETON 51 - *Penn State 50 RATING - 10
OHIO over *Maryland...With defensively-erratic Maryland (witness 85-76 upset loss vs. VCU Dec. 3) off revenge game vs. Boston College,
“take” with rugged Ohio (6th-year HC O’Shea says it’s his most physical unit), which has endured two last-second road losses (Temple &
Patriot League favorite Holy Cross). Ohio’s ball-swishing sr. G Walter (16 ppg, converts 3 treys pg) has eagerly moved to wing from point,
thanks to juco PG M. Allen (7 apg). And with Murray State transfer 6-7 F Orr (12 ppg) meshing with 6-8 sr. C Leon Williams (19 ppg, 10 rpg)
& 6-7 sr. F Tillman (19 ppg, 9 rpg), Bobcats spring upset vs. hot-and-cold Terps. OHIO 78 - *Maryland 77 RATING - 10

Game: Cincinnati at Xavier Dec 12 2007 8:00PM
Prediction: Xavier
Reason: Play On: Xavier
Note: Xavier hosts the Bearcats in a series that's seen the Musketeers go 9-3-1 ATS of late, including 6-1 SUATS with revenge. Back the X-men on this strong home court tonight.

Game: Dallas Mavericks at Toronto Raptors Dec 12 2007 7:05PM
Prediction: Dallas Mavericks
Reason: The Mavericks come into this one having won 2 straight games and the healthier of the two team's. Dallas has won 2 of their last 3 road games SU and ATS. Dallas is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games played on Wednesday's. Toronto got Bosh and Bargnani back in the lineup but Ford went down last night with a scary injury and he may miss significant time. The Raptors are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. Play on the Mavericks -.
Ben Burns -COMP
Game: Orlando Magic at Milwaukee Bucks Dec 12 2007 8:05PM
Prediction: Milwaukee Bucks
Reason: The Bucks lost badly at Orlando on Halloween Night. However, they've gone a highly profitable 16-5 ATS (18-3 SU!) the last 21 times they were a host in this series and I feel that they provide solid value this evening. While they've struggled on the road, the Bucks have played well at home, going 6-2 SU and 5-3 ATS. Yes, the Bucks have lost four games in a row. However, they covered the spread (3 point loss at Sacramento) last time out and are now a profitable 71-52-7 ATS the last 130 times they were coming off three or more consecutive losses. Consider taking the points with the home dog.

For Wednesday take the points with the Kings
Of course Boston should win this game as they now win every game but no team in the NBA can be laying such a number as the Celtics are today. We all know how these large number games are, the favorite jumps out early, flexes its muscles and then puts it on cruise control with the cover coming down to scrubs on the winning team and some starters and some scrubs on the underdog. I don't see anything being different here.
Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce will probably jump out to the early double digit lead as Sacramento is just not that good but for the C's to cover a number of around two touchdowns plus is too much., Ron Artest, Brad Miller, Francisco Garcia and the Kings do have some potential and despite being far better at Arco than on the road can easily get into this monster inpost when all is said and done tonight.
The Boston players should not exactly be as fired up as possible here with the pedestrian Kings coming to town unlike the visitors who should have more motivation as they are up against the team with the best record in the NBA and they will try and make a statement.
The number is just too hefty for any team in this league, period

Vegas Experts Tip Of The Day
1-0 last night
1-1 for the week
Seattle suffered a 27-point loss last night in Chicago. Now it moves into New York to face the struggling Knicks. Do the young Sonics respond with a win and cover?
Young Sonics will play hard: effort may be lacking from the Knicks who are getting nothing of late from low post players Curry and Randolph. Sonics have covered five of their last eight, Knicks are 1-4 ATS their last five and 0-3 ATS at home. Sonics two road wins have come against Eastern Conference clubs (Atlanta and Miami). SEATTLE is 13-4 ATS as a road underdog of 6 points or less over the last 2 seasons.
Play on: Seattle

The hot Warriors have won 12 of their last 15 games, while the surging Trail Blazers go for their fifth straight win. Golden State has won and covered the spread in eight of the last nine meetings versus the Trail Blazers and has taken four of its last five at Portland. Expect a close battle, but at the end the Golden State’s high power offense will outscore the Blazers and snatch a win at the Rose Garden.
