excellent choices SF. Now get on Sac over in the NBA forum.
Tennessee -4.5
Folks, Tennessee is getting no respect with this line. Irrelevant if they cover this spread or not, they should be getting far more respect given their splits and results thus far this year. Make no mistake about it, the Vols are good this year and frankly, I think good enough to win it all. I have said this repeatedly, I think Wildcats are terrible this year and it will take some time for this team to get better under Billy, they will be decent eventually, but once again, it will take some time. I can't explain this play better than I did today in my research blog:
I love the SEC and am looking forward to this game but was surprised to see the line - is Kentucky really getting this much respect because they beat Vandy at home? They sure are. If they had not beaten Vandy at home, make no mistake about it, this team would have been dogged by 8 points for this game but because their last home game was a success and the fact they come off 2 road losses in conference play, the line is where it is today. Regardless, what do the Vols need to do get some respect? I personally have them winning by roughly 9 points in this game as I love Bruce Pearl in an ATS standpoint as he is not afraid to lay the wood on teams in conference. [Here me closely, Bruce Pearl is your Steve Spurrier of College Basketball. I'll say it again, Bruce Pearl is your Steve Spurrier of college basketball[/b]. This man took his team into South Carolina and pounded them by a score of 80-56 (24 points). This team beat a top 25 Xavier team by a greater margin than the spread today and Kentucky is no top 25 team. Kentucky could play spirited basketball today but I wouldn't be surprised if the Vols pull away in the second half and hit the cover today. I do dislike the fact that 2/3rds of the public is on the Vols.
I'll take public fav here as the numbers are far too appealing as the Vols were a public fav at South Carolina and won by essentially 30 points and I think they do well here on the road today again. The Vols are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 road games and the Wildcats are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 ballgames against teams that have a winning % of over 60% - meaning that they do not step up to the plate against the better teams in the league and they have inflated lines typically because of the name "Kentucky" - as compared to what their true performance has been this year.
Drake +5.5
As I said on the research thread today, if I ever find a team that I believe can win a game outright by above 30% and they are catching 5 points or more, I will take the dog without a doubt. This is the basis of my handicapping and what I firmly stand on and frankly, has led to the success that I have had for 4 years in handicapping college basketball. If I believe an underdog can win outright, such as Weber State the other day, I will take that dog as well as the points. I have Drake as a top 20 team in the power rankings and I they have revenge from last year's tight loss to conference foe and rival Creighton. Drake has proven their worth on the road so far as they have lost just 1 game this year - their first game - which was a road game against St. Mary's who is a top 20 power ranking team and have won against the likes of Iowa, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Bradley and Wichita State on the road this year. Now, they face a Creighton team that is very good, but a top 50 team that has yet to beat a top 50 team all year. Granted, they could lose this cover by free throws late, but I will take my chances here with Drake as they are 6-0 ATS against teams that have a winning % better than 60% meaning that they are undervalued and show up against the "better" teams in the nation and 11-2 ATS in their last 13 ballgames overall.

Kingcams--playing on the road is tough in college basketball I had this game capped to a much lower number plus the public dosent know much about drake.
Creighton is 0-2 this season against top 50 teams
