4 Unit Play. Take South Carolina -1 over Florida

This is an upset in the making today. Why do we think that South Carolina can't get it done over Florida today? Are the Gators that all mighty? I don't think so. Yes, they are 16-2. Sure, this team beat Arkansas - at home. But, this team is a very young team that is going on the highway to play another conference foe. How has Florida done on the road? Well, how about lose to FSU on the highway and barely defeat Auburn on the road. This is a huge game for South Carolina. This team comes back home after back to back road losses to the likes of Tennessee (who they made a massive comeback against in the second half) and a road loss to LSU as well. South Carolina went toe to toe with Clemson at home, is a top 65 team, beat a top 40 team in Baylor Outright on the road and are quite capable of winning Outright at home coming off two conference road losses. You don't think the Gamecocks are going to be fired up for this game? They fell short against Florida last year, UF comes off a big win against Arkansas and are primed for a likely let down here, South Carolina is desperate for a home win, has revenge, Florida is a young team on the road and if South Carolina can start this game off strong, they will carry the day here. Let me ask you something. Why do you think the line is South Carolina is -1 at home and yet 72% of the public is hovering the jock strap of the Gators on the highway here? The line has not budged. The line will not budge. This is because the Gamecocks are in a prime spot to be very game here and should do well here tonight. The Gamecocks are 4-0 ATS following a Straight up loss. The Gators are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 contests against SEC Schools.

4 Unit Play. Take Over 222 between Oklahoma City @ Golden State Warriors

We are going to be rooting for a lot of fireworks, a lot of fouls and a lot of free throws today. I like the over today as these two teams have history. For starters, they faced each other twice this year as both games were in OKC. The first contest, the Warriors came in and without Jackson or Maggattee shocked OKC by winning 112-102. The next time around, the Thunder were ready and awaiting the Warriors defeating them 107-100 in a game they were actually underdogs by 2 points on their home floor. Let's not forget that Oklahoma City is one of the best ATS teams this year at 27-15 ATS. I point that out to show that this team comes off a disappointing loss to Miami 94-104. This team faced a Miami team that is one of the better defensive teams in the league and they shot just a terrible 4-13 from 3 point land in that game while Miami shot 11-21 from behind the arc. So, what you are getting is an OKC team that is coming off a tough loss and now heads on the road to Golden State looking to bounce-back. In that same token, GS is looking forward to facing OKC with revenge from their last loss and they have a firm belief they can defeat anyone at home. After all, this team defeated the Celtics, Hawks and Pacers at home. It seems just when, one of their key players goes down, another one returns. The Crawford trade was great for this team as Harrington was nothing but a poison keeping this team down. Even in their last game, Crawford put up 28 points as he fits in great with Nelson's system, Jackson put up 26, Maggette put up 16 and this team shot 22 free throws. In fact, if you take a look at the last series of games for GS they have scored 119 against Washington, 119 against Atlanta, 105 against Sacramento (prior to overtime - Sac had revenge in that game I believe though), 120 against Indiana, 106 against the Lakers and 117 against the Raptors. When this team plays up and down teams, such as Indiana or Washington, they have put up at least 119. I expect them to put up the same here as they have revenge on top of that. In short, I expect the Warriors to put up 120 at least, combine that with the fact, I expect at least a 110 effort from OKC on the bounce-back and to shoot much better than their last contest against Miami, I have this game going over 230 and we will ride the over. The Over is 11-1 when the Thunder are dogs by this margin on the road and the over is 5-0 when the Warriors are favored by this margin on the road.

15 Dime South Carolina - Bring on Florida. The Gamecocks won't be threatened by the 24th-ranked Gators, even though they face Florida after dropping two in a row on the road. USC is still 12-4 overall, and with a 1-2 mark in SEC play, it'll view this as a must-win situation.

I told you Carolina would cover against Tennessee, and though the 'Cocks lost, I saw some positives late in the game. This team exerted plenty of energy and showed what it is capable of doing against a quality team in a very tough venue.

And I've come to like first-year coach Darrin Horn, who believes in learning from mistakes, and most certainly will have his team looking to correct ones his players committed on Saturday. Such as, finding a way to start the game much better and more intense at both ends of the court. They'll also step up their game defensively.

The best thing about this team is its experience. And with two great guards in Zam Fredrick and Devan Downey, I think we're going to see a tremendous effort with the frontcourt, which will create an inside-outside game that could frustrate Billy D's bunch. Mike Holmes and Dominique Archie have both come on and played extremely well, so their intensity will help us as well.

Fact is, Horn's system has been adopted perfectly, and these players are executing what he's wanted them to do with a lot of passion.

South Carolina is on 4-1 ATS run in SEC play and a perfect 4-0 versus the books after a straight-up loss. On the other hand, Florida is 4-10 in its last 14 SEC contests and 1-6 against the books when laying anywhere up to 6-1/2 points.

Take the home pup here.

5 Dime Clemson - The Tigers challenged the Heels three times last season - including in the ACC final. This year they're much, much better. Can they win in Chapel Hill? That remains to be seen, but they can cover a double-digit spread in conference play. As I mentioned about South Carolina, experience will also be key in this one. Clemson has it, and if it is as mentally tough as I believe it is, I think we're going to see a greater desire to finish off the Tar Heels this season, rather than delve into overtime, the same way these two did in last year's regular season clashes. Yep, both of em.

Despite Saturday?s loss to Wake Forest - Clemson's first of the season - the Tigers are on ATS runs of 5-1 on the road, 6-0 on the road against teams with a winning home record, 5-1 in ACC play, 4-1 on Wednesdays and 8-2 after suffering a double-digit home loss.

North Carolina, on the other hand, is on a 3-7 ATS slump overall, 1-5 ATS at home and has failed to cover in six of its last seven ACC games.

3 Star Selection
WAKE FOREST (-13) over Virginia Tech

Wake Forest is coming off an impressive road win over previously unbeaten Clemson and my ratings favor Wake Forest by 16 points. Wake is 11-4-1 ATS at home under coach Dino Gaudio and the Demon Deacons apply to a solid 125-58-3 ATS home momentum situation. I’ll take Wake Forest in a 3-Star Best Bet at -13 points or less and for 2-Stars from -13 ½ to -15 points. 3-Stars at -13 or less, 2-Stars from -13 1/2 to -15.

3 Star Selection
JAMES MADISON (-9 ½) over Towson

Those that have been following me over the last 6 weeks or so are aware that James Madison is an underrated team since Juwann James returned to the Dukes’ lineup on December 14th after missing 7 games. James has averaged 14.9 points and 5.7 rebounds in just 26.3 minutes per game and he’s made 59% of this shots – so it’s easy to see why he’s made such a difference. James Madison was on a 7-1-1 ATS run that was derailed a bit on Saturday by a 57-71 loss as a 9 ½ point dog at George Mason – a game that I passed on because guard Devon Moore was not scheduled to play after suffering a concussion against NC Wilmington. Moore is the Dukes’ second best player, dishing out 3.8 assists while making 50% of his shots, which is excellent for a guard. Moore is scheduled to return tonight after his one game absence and my ratings favor JMU by 15 points. James Madison actually lost at Towson on January 3rd by 1 point as a 1 point dog, but that was the worst game the Dukes have played in 11 games since James returned to the lineup and for James Madison to only lose by 1 point in that game is impressive considering they made just 1 of 15 3-point shots (they’re 36.2% for the season) and only 8 of 15 free-throws (74.6% for the season). Three point shooting is basketball’s most variable statistic (like fumbles in football) and a bad shooting night like the Dukes had in their first game against Towson was nothing more than just random negative variance. If each team shot their expected percentages from 3-point range and from the free-throw line in that game (adjusted for JMU being the road team) then the Dukes would have won by 7 or 8 points in that game, which would equate to 15 or 16 points if it were a home game. In other words, James Madison’s 1 point loss in the first meeting was not a negative at all because the Dukes played about as poorly as they can play and still pushed against the point spread. More telling is the fact that JMU made 62% of their 2 point shots in that game and they should dominate in the paint again tonight while being likely to make a more representative percentage of their 3-point shots. Towson is only 2-14-1 ATS in their last 17 road games when not an underdog of at least 14 points and they aren’t likely to stay within double-digits tonight. I’ll take James Madison in a 3-Star Best Bet at -10 points or less and for 2-Stars from -10 ½ to -12 points. 3-Stars at -10 or less, 2-Stars from -10 1/2 to -12.

Opinions

Florida State (+6 ½) over MIAMI FLORIDA

Miami-Florida is coming off a humbling 65-82 loss at North Carolina and that loss sets up the Hurricanes in a negative 41-105-7 ATS situation tonight. Miami is only 6-14 ATS as a home favorite against teams with winning records (0-3 ATS this season) under coach Frank Haith and I certainly don’t mind backing an underrated Florida State squad that is a few points better 2-guard Derwin Kitchen joined the rotation in mid-December after missing the first 9 games of the season. My ratings using all games for the season favors Miami by 7 points, which is what the line is, but I favor the Hurricanes by just 5 ½ points using the Seminoles’ games with Kitchen (excluding his first game back when he played just 6 minutes). I’ll take Florida State in a 2-Star Best Bet at +7 points or more. Opinion - 2-Star Best Bet at +7 or more.

Toronto (+5 ½) over DETROIT

The Pistons are an overrated team that has been out-scored by an average of 1.0 points per game in 36 games with Allen Iverson in the backcourt instead of Chauncey Billups (what a stupid trade that was!) and the Pistons have faced a schedule that is 0.1 points easier than average in those games – which makes them 1.1 points worse than an average team on average. Toronto has a much worse record (16-27) than Detroit’s 23-17 mark, but the Raptors have faced a schedule that is 1.5 points tougher than average and have been out-scored by 2.5 points, which makes them 1.0 points worse than average. These teams are basically even and my ratings favor Detroit by just 2.7 points at home against the Raptors, so there is line value on the side of the dog in this game. Detroit also applies to a negative 24-62-1 ATS situation and they Pistons are 6-13 ATS at home this season. Unfortunately, Detroit coach Michael Curry has finally wised up and decided to put defensive force and team player Amir Johnson in the starting lineup starting tonight while having overrated scorer Richard Hamilton come off the bench. I’ve discussed before how Hamilton is a defensive liability and that Johnson is one the more effective players on the roster because of his defense and I even bet on Detroit when they hosted Orlando on December 29th because Hamilton was out and Johnson was starting. Hamilton will still get about 30 minutes a game, but Johnson will get more minutes than he’s been getting and I project Detroit to improve about a point if Johnson starts and Hamilton’s minutes are trimmed. That still gives fair line of 3 ½ to 4 points in this game and I’ll lean with Toronto plus the points. I’d take Toronto in a 2-Star Best Bet at +6 points or more.Opinion - 2-Star Best Bet at +6 or more.

Southern Illinois (-4 1/2) over INDIANA STATE
Opinion - 2-Star Best Bet at -4 or less.

2-Unit Play. Take #581 Wisconsin (-2.5) over Iowa (8:30 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 21)
Iowa is not a bad team, they just don't hold up very well against the top tier in the Big 10. Wisconsin is coming off back-to-back losses and I trust that Bo Ryan is going to right the ship. It does not help Iowa's cause that they will be playing without Cyrus Tate, one of their top inside presences, again today. The Badgers just do things a little bit better than Iowa does and the Hawkeyes should be getting double what they are. Wisconsin won at Michigan and gave Marquette all they could handle on the road, so the Badgers have shown that they can play away from home. They get back in the win column here.

2.5-Unit Play. Take #593 Clemson (+14) over North Carolina (9 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 21)
Once again, North Carolina is laying too many points. You just can't give this large of a spread to a team that shoots the ball and has as good of guard play as the Tigers do. Yes, they have lost 53 straight at North Carolina. And no, I don't think they get the win tonight. But both of these teams played Wake Forest tight while losing, so I don't see why this line is not around 8.0. And, honestly, if it were around 8.0 or 9.0 I would still give the Tigers a look. Clemson has win at Miami, at Illinois, and at South Carolina. Those are all teams that will play in postseason tournaments, and Clemson beat them on their home floor. They are a little devalued because of an 0-4 ATS slide, but I think that Rivers and Oglesby will get enough open looks to do some damage and keep this one close.

2-Unit Play. Take #588 Oklahoma State (-2) over Missouri (9 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 21)
If Missouri can get waxed at Nebraska then they can get run tonight in Stillwater. Missouri just doesn't not play with as much intensity on the road and Ok. State is fantastic on their home court. Also, as we get later in the year it's really hard for Missouri's press to continue to be effective. Especially against teams like Ok. State that have such good guard play. That's exactly what killed Mizzou on the road at Nebraska and that's what will get them here. On top of the fact that they are a poor road team and that this is an awful matchup for them, Missouri will again be without leading scorer Leo Lyons who has once again run into legal troubles. All in all this spot is very conducive to a blowout.

2-Unit Play. Take #540 Northeastern (-4) over George Mason (7 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 21)
The home team has wrecked shop in this series and these games have not even been close. The home team is 6-0 in the last three years in this series with the average win margin over 18 points per game. None of those six games were decided by less than 11 points and several of them were by over 20. George Mason has been playing really good basketball this year. But I think they've been playing a bit over their heads. This game is actually set up in a Game of the Week situation because of the way it grades out, but I've lowered the Unit rating simply out of respect for the Mason program and their recent 5-2 ATS run. But I like this spot for the Huskies. I think they are the better, more experienced team and after a terrible second half at Hofstra I think they are ready to jump out and hammer the Patriots. The line on this game moved two full points despite nearly 70 percent of the action going on Mason. I think this one is a romp.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #550 Buffalo (-3) over Kent State (7 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 21)
Kent State is really missing Jim Christian right about now. their former coach is working wonders at TCU and the Golden Flashes really don't look to be as confident a team. They will need to be tonight if they don't want to get run, because Buffalo is a buzzsaw at home. This Bulls team has been playing really good basketball this year and they have a backcourt that can match up well with Kent State. The Flashes are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games and Buffalo is 7-1 ATS as a favorite.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #602 San Diego State (-5) over New Mexico (10:30 p.m., Wed., Jan. 21)
SDSU is 5-1 SU in the last six meetings, winning by an average of six points. Home court has been money in MWC play and favorites have been tearing it up on The Mountain. Home teams are 14-5 SU in MWC play, with Colorado State and Air Force the only teams that have lost on their own court. We’re catching New Mexico off their best game of the year, a 19-point win over BYU, and SDSU is coming off a tough loss at Wyoming last week without Lorrenzo Wade. Wade is back and the Aztecs run a similar style to the UTEP team that floored the Lobos in New Mexico. I think SDSU gets it done in this one, pulling away late for a quality win.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #559 Florida State (+7.5) over Miami (7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 21)
Note: Bump to a 2-Unit Play.

Miami is in serious trouble without Eddie Rios. The Hurricane guards not named "McClinton" are just awful and they will be outplayed tonight by a strong FSU backcourt. Miami has been up and down and all over the place, but the bottom line is that they is that if we break down their last few games you can see obvious cracks. They got wasted by UNC, which is forgiveable, and they actually played well in that one. But before that they barely beat Maryland at home - and Maryland isn't very good - and they won against a Boston College team that frankly isn't very good. Prior to that their "blowout" win over Florida Atlantic was actually a five-point game late in the second half (FAU was without its top scorer in that one as well) before a technical foul helped them run away. So all in all, Miami is not beating inferior opponents convincingly. And it all comes back to shoddy guard play. FSU's only losses in the last two months were an eight-point loss to Duke and an eight-point loss to Pitt. Oh yeah, those two teams were ranked 1-2 just a few days ago. Florida State wins this one outright.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #580 LSU (-6) over Mississippi State (8 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 21)
Your guess is as good as mine as to which teams are going to show up in any given SEC game. But the bottom line is this: SEC favorites are 14-4-1 ATS since the start of conference play, and most of the games have not even been close. This has been a big-time blowout conference, and a stunning 15 of those 19 league games have been decided by nine points or less. Teams are just getting destroyed in this league, and given the home and away splits of these two schools there's no reason not to expect more of the same. LSU is coming out of a stretch in which it played three of four on the road, so they are still a bit undervalued. Their one home game in that time was a 17-point win over South Carolina. Mississippi State has not been a strong road team, outside of a win at Arkansas. They barely beat Nicholls State (by 6) and they lost by 12 at Cincinnati. That's it. That is their road experience over the last two months. And before that it was two neutral court losses to Washington State and Texas Tech, both of which suck. The Tigers simply play with much more confidence at home and they get it done with another blowout tonight. And if they can get James Varnado in foul trouble early this one will be over quick.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #573 UTEP (+6) over UAB (8 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 21)
UAB can win this game, and they play much better at home. But this is a few too many points to lay. UTEP is a very good team and they have some quality road wins this year. The Blazers are coming off a tough rivalry loss at Memphis, and the bottom line is that they only go about seven-deep. Fatigue and emotional factors are going to hit this team harder than most. UAB went off on Lafayette on Monday so this is their third game in five days and two of the contests have been against two of the best teams in CUSA. I think UTEP makes it a back-and-forth affair and that this is a one-possession game in the last few minutes.

2.5-Unit Play. TEASER: Take #556 LaSalle (-6) over Penn (7 p.m.) AND Take #554 Richmond (+8) over Rhode Island (7 p.m.)
Penn is absolutely awful and LaSalle is going to beat them by 20 tonight. Period. Richmond is the definition of a live home dog, and now that we've bumped this spread up to 8.0 I love the spot. Those are two of the best shooting teams in the country, but Richmond is off the chain playing at home. With less than four minutes to play, Richmond was only down 4 to Syracuse and 4 to Wake Forest - two Top 10 teams - this year. Of their eight losses, only two of them were by more than seven points. They play teams tight and I think they win this game outright against Rhode Island. The Rams are 0-6 SU in their last six trips to Richmond.

2-Unit Play. TEASER: Take #586 Oklahoma (-8) over Nebraska (9 p.m.) AND Take #542 Rutgers (+15) over Louisville (7 p.m.)
Oklahoma DOMINATES people in Norman and Nebraska has been terrible on the road for the past several years. Nebraska is 8-23 ATS away from home and I think OU easily covers the normal 13-point spread. Louisville is in a perfect letdown situation, going on the road after two big home wins, the last against the No. 1 team in the country. They also have a big game at Syracuse this Sunday so I can see them looking past Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights have had a week off to regroup, but this team is fearless. They have gone toe-to-toe with Syracuse, Marquette, Connecticut, Pittsburgh and North Carolina in the last three weeks! They will have no fear against the Cardinals, who do not shoot the ball well at all. I think Rutgers makes a run at this tonight and I don't see them getting waxed by 17 or 19 points.

I also have strong leans on Charleston, Auburn (I love Auburn today), Baylor, Villanova and Rice (I also love Rice), Southern Illinois and Southern Miss. I swear to you, my leans have been RIDICULOUS over the last month, and I would venture to say that I'm hitting 70 percent of them. That is no joke. I know for a fact I'm 10-5 in my last 15, and that was with a "down" Saturday. Anyway, I really suggest getting on these games if you don't mind the extra action. I am CERTAIN that those five leans alone will go 4-3, at least. Bank it.

Utah Jazz vs. Houston Rockets
Pick: Utah Jazz +4.5

The Toyota Center will be the site of tonight’s Western Conference clash between the host Houston Rockets and the visiting Utah Jazz. Utah is coming off a home win last night versus Minnesota 112 to 107 while the Rockets last played on Monday where they defeated the Denver Nuggets 115 to 113 at the Toyota Center.
These two teams last met in Houston on December 27 with the Rockets winning in overtime 120 to 115 but failing to cover as a nine-point home favorite. In that game the Jazz were without their top three scorers and rebounders in Okur, Boozer and Millsap and still forced the Rockets into double overtime before finally falling. This trip the Jazz will still be without Boozer but they should be more than ready to avenge their last trip to Houston.

Houston has won eleven of their last thirteen games at home this season but they have failed to cover at a rate of 6-7 ATS including a 2-6 ATS record in their last overall. The Rockets also have a same-season revenge game against the Pacers on deck. The Pacers came into the Toyota Center back on November 26 and defeated this Rockets team 91 to 90 as an eight-point underdog. This is important in that the Rockets are a horrible 14-33-2 ATS in this situation. We also note that they are 7-23 ATS if they are facing a Western Conference opponent prior to their same season revenge contest. The Rockets are 7-11 ATS laying chalk at the Toyota Center their last 18 overall.

This series has been tightly contested with the Jazz knocking the Rockets out of the Playoffs in both of the last two seasons. The home team has held serve winning the last four straight up although the visitor and the underdog have both covered in eight of the last eleven in this series. With the Jazz covering their last meeting here on December 27 they have now covered in eleven of the last fifteen in this series overall.

Utah has proven over the last two seasons that they are the team to back when they are facing an opponent with a winning record as they are 41-22 ATS in this role the last two years and 22-9 ATS when facing a winning team during the second half of the season. The Jazz have also found ATS success when facing teams from the Southwest Division posting a record of 20-7 ATS their last 27.

On the other side of that equation we see that the Rockets are 0-5 ATS when facing opponents from the Western Conference and 3-7 ATS versus teams from the Northwest Division. Houston is also a perfect 0-5 ATS when playing with one day of rest this season. The Rockets are 13-28 ATS in home games after a home game where both teams score 100 or more points since 1996. Houston coming off two straight up wins and now installed as a home favorite versus a conference opponent have gone 59-91-2 ATS. If the Rockets are coming in off an ATS win at home and now installed as a conference home favorite they are 36-59-2 ATS and if they happened to go ‘over’ in that game they are 12-29-1 ATS.

With strong fundamental, technical and situational support we will make the Utah Jazz our 5* Western Conference Game of the Month.

PROJECTED FINAL SCORE: (5*) Utah Jazz 99 Houston Rockets 98

Wyoming vs. TCU
Pick: TCU -8.5

The Daniel-Meyer Coliseum will be the site of tonight’s Mountain West Conference clash between the host TCU Horned Frogs and the visiting Wyoming Cowboys. Wyoming is coming in off a road loss to UNLV on Saturday 83 to 66 as a 13.5 point road underdog. The Frogs are off a road win at Air Force on Saturday 57 to 54 covering as a 2 point road favorite.

Wyoming is 12-5 SU and 5-4 against the spread this season. With the start of conference play the wins have not been as easy to come by for this Cowboys team. They are 1-2 both SU and ATS in conference play averaging 72.0 points per game while allowing 84.3 points per game to teams that only average 67.0 points per game. No real surprise they are struggling with conference teams allowing so many points to be scored against them and that road remains tough as they face this TCU team tonight.

TCU is 12-6 SU and 10-4 against the spread this season. The Horned Frogs are 8-1 SU and 4-1 ATS at home so far this year. In conference play TCU has posted a record of 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS averaging 69.7 points per game on 49.8 percent from the field. When playing at home this season TCU has only allowed 54.0 points per game to teams that average 67.2 points per game. They have also been solid defending the trey with a defensive shooting percentage of 27.7 percent from three-point land.

This series has been dominated by the Horned Frogs of late when playing at home. They are 3-1 SU and ATS when facing Wyoming on their home floor since 1997. Over the last three seasons the two games that have been played at TCU have been won both SU and ATS by the Horned Frogs.

Our Team Performance Ratings Index signals a play on the Horned Frogs tonight with a 10.9 point advantage over the Wyoming Cowboys. With solid fundamental and technical support we will lay the chalk with the host here as TCU gets the win and cover over an overmatched Wyoming team.

PROJECTED FINAL SCORE: (4*) TCU Horned Frogs 79 Wyoming Cowboys 62
