Been on a roll the last few posts and also called the Rutgers in over Pittsburgh and the Hawaii win on the road versus Fresno State!!! They were both huge dogs...
ATS: 28-29-2 (-11.8 units)
Half Plays: 1-1-0 (-1.2 units)
Underdog ML: 8-10 (+15.4 units)
Over/Under: 4-6-0 (-10.8 units)
POD: 9-16-0 (-25.05 units)
HUGE PLAYS: 3-1 (+19.0 units)
*** POD #1 *** Connecticut -2 vs. Notre Dame (5.5 units for 5.0 units)
The Fighting Irish' 29 game home winning streak is in major jeapordy this morning. This is not the same juggernaut Notre Dame team that we have seen the past couple years. They have lost the presence of both scoring leader in Ben Hansbrough and Tim Abromaitis. The Huskies will exploit the lack of star power from Notre Dame. Connecticut has been very sketch the last few games, but they were against legitimate teams. First was Seton Hall, who is a very talented team and was at home where they have one of the most hostile arenas at the moment. Second game was verse the Rutgers, who have been playing the top dogs very well this year and just came off a win verse Pitt. Then the Third game was against the West Virginia Mountaineers, who are obvious top dogs. Except this game the Huskies were able to escape late. Now that the Huskies have had 5 days to rest and focus on this game, look for Jeremy Lamb and Freshman phenom Andre Drummond to have their way with this Fighting Irish team. Sure, Jack Cooley has had a great year and the Irish just came off a huge win versus Louisville. But the Cardinals are not nearly as an offensive powerhouse that UCONN is. The Huskies have a ton more weapons and have the legendary coach in Jim Calhoun to lead them to a huge road victory. This will boast their confidence even more and build them huge momentum going into conference play. Calhoun will have his guys focused and fired up for this one.
Prediction: Connecticut Huskies 72-65
More Picks to come... Just had to get this one out early!!! BOL EVERYONE!!!! Comments would be greatly appreciated...

Kentucky -9.5 vs. Tennessee (2.2 units for 2.0 units)
I just think the Wildcats are too much for the Volunteers to keep this one close. I think they will come out early but just run out of gas to keep up with the star studded Kentucky squad. I would put more units on this game, but the Wildcats have been atrocious ATS this year. The Volunteers have the new addition of Jarnell Stokes, who whould have a great game in front of their home crowd but he cant do everything. Kidd-Gilchrist, Anthony Davis, and T-Jones will really use their size to pound on the Vols and pull away at the end of the game. Tennessee are playing 3 games in 8 days and they have all been against ranked opponents. They are going to start feeling the exhaustion and the Wildcats will take advantage. The Home Crowd of Tennessee will amp up their team in the first half though and think the Vols will have it close, if not have the lead before their destruction. Also, all trends point towards the UNDER, so i will put a couple units on that as well.
1H Tennessee +6 (2.2 units for 2.0 units)
Kentucky/Tennessee UNDER 135.5
Prediction: Kentucky Wildcats 74-59
Saint Bonaventure vs. Xavier -8.5 (2.2 units for 2.0 units)
Holloway and Lyons will run on this St. Bonnies team. They dont have the offensive power to keep up with such a potent Musketeers team. Xavier is a solid 7-2 home team and defends their home floor fairly well. With the Musketeers starting their Atlantic 10 play, the crowd will be up and energized. The Bonnies are 3-4 on the road and will be too shaken up from the crowd and the Uptempo Xavier team. Xavier is riding momentum at the moment after completely dismantling a very good Duquesne team. The Bonnies arent nearly close to the same level of play this Xavier team is right now. Sure they just got off an emotional victory over Dayton, but that was on their home floor. They wont have the rowdy crowd on their side this morning and it will get to them. Lyons and Holloway will have their way against somewhat of a lackadaisical defense. Wouldnt be surprised if Xavier won this one by 20+
Prediction: Xavier Musketeers 76-63

*** POD #2/Huge Play *** Michigan -3 vs. Iowa (10.5 units for 10.0 units)
Iowa just recieved a 34 point beat down by Michigan State and now is looking at another atrocious performance. Michigan is a very hot shooting team behind Hardaway. Iowa gave up 61% from the field to the Spartans. If they play that type of defense against a great offensive team like the Wolverines, then this game could get ugly right away. Wolverines have yet to get a road win (0-2) so far this year, but they played top ranked Indiana and Duke. They only lost to the Blue Devils by 7 and then when they traveled to Indiana they lost by 2. Iowa is not in the same league as these teams. Michigan have come off huge wins over Wisconsin and Northwestern and will ride that momentum into this one. Iowa is on the opposite side of the spectrum, where they are coming off two games where they have been routed and this will also be their third straight game against a ranked opponent. They lost to Ohio State by 29 points and then to Michigan State by 34 points. Michigan is at a great value right now and this is one of my favorite plays today. I can see this one getting out of hand if Iowa doesnt get their defense together.
Prediction: Michigan Wolverines 78-64
Kansas State -3 vs. Oklahoma (3.3 units for 3.0 units)
Kansas State is really starting to hit its stride and have been playing very well lately. They were able to deliver Missouri its first loss and tested Baylor all the way till the end where Baylor came out with a two point victory. Oklahoma on the other hand has looked ugly during their 3 game losing streak. They lost to Missouri by 38, Kansas by 11, and Okie State by 7. The Sooners just arent at the same skill level that the Wildcats are at right now. This should be a fairly close and low scoring affair, as the Sooners are really struggling and the fact that the Wildcats defense has given up more the 70 point only twice this year (West Virginia and Baylor). And the fact that Kansas State is only averaging 59 PPG on the road. Oklahoma home court advantage will most definitely keep this a close and exciting game, but Kansas State will pull out in the end with a grind it out victory.
Kansas State/Oklahoma UNDER 138 (3.3 units for 3.0 units)
Prediction: Kansas State Wildcats 63-57
Texas Tech +10 vs. Texas A&M (2.2 units for 2.0 units)
This rivalry game will be alot closer then people think. Both these teams are very defensive oriented. They win their games on the defensive end of the floor. They are also similar on the offensive end. They both struggle. Texas Tech has the edge though in that category as they have outshot 12 of their 15 opponents this year. But they will definitely be tested when they go up against the Aggies, who are first in the Big 12 in scoring defense (57.7) and 3-point percentage defense (.276). Look for a very low scoring and tight game. I will give the edge to the Aggies since they are on their home floor.
Texas Tech/Texas A&M UNDER 119.5 (2.2 units for 2.0 units)
Prediction: Texas A&M Aggies 57-51
*** POD #3 *** Mississippi -1 vs. Auburn (6.3 units for 6.0 units)
Auburn is really struggling at the moment. They have dropped their last three games. The Rebels seem to have turned the corner after an impressive win over Arkansas. The return of Holloway really sparked the team and he has delivered a ton of energy that was really needed by this squad. Look for Murphy Holloway to have yet another strong outing and for Ole Miss to continue its surge. This is a very underrated squad and they will prove to everyone that when they have all their guys, they are not a crew to be messed with. If Auburn struggles from the three like they did last game, this one could get ugly.
Prediction: Mississippi Rebels 69-55
