Hey everyone. For NCAA, I got:
Akron -3.5
Mass -3
Michigan -3
My write-ups for college are in that forum. For NBA, I like:
Nets -4 (has dropped to -3.5)
I love fading the Pistons on the road whenever I get a chance. They are 1-12 away from home this year and have lost 7 straight away. The Nets already beat them at home (by 3) a week ago. Anthony Morrow should be back in the lineup after missing the last game (vs Chicago) for a funeral. That's good news as he has played very well lately, including a 42 point performance a few nights ago. Important to note that Morrow also did not play in that 3 point victory over the Pistons. Detroit is a little dinged up right now, with Knight having a broken nose. It will be interesting to see if he will play and how he plays with a mask on. Gordon and Bynum have been practicing, but I don't think either will play (even if they do, I'm not too worried). I think this game will ultimately come down to whether Greg Monroe can outperform Deron Williams. Given Detroit's road woes, I'll take DWill in this one. Having a red-hot Anthony Morrow to pass to doesn't hurt either.
Heat -3.5
No real need to research and write too much about this pick. Magic are really struggling of late and the Heat are the Heat. Chalmers is out for Miami, but Norris Cole is a pretty reliable backup for a rookie. I see him playing well considering his match-ups will be a slow Jameer Nelson, an unimpressive Chris Duhon, and an unathletic JJ Redick. James and Wade should be able to lock up Richardson and Turkoglu, and Bosh has the quickness to bother Anderson's shot. Howard can get his 30 points and 15 rebounds tonight and I can still see the Heat winning by double digits.
