#506 Toronto Raptors -5 1/2

2-Units (5:00 P.M. CST)

The Raptors haven't officially been eliminated from the playoffs, but one more loss may knock them out of contention. Look for a very good, all around effort from this Raptor team that has won 6 of 7 and 7 of their last 10 games. The New York Knicks are a completely different story. They were knocked out of the playoff picture on Saturday by this very same Raptor team that they will have to face today in a home vs home series. The Knicks have lost 10 of 11 as a direct result of falling apart on the defensive side of the ball. They have given up 100+ points in 8 of their last 10 games, and will be facing a Toronto Raptors team that has averaged scoring 112 points a game over their last 5 games. The Knicks haven't won at the Canada Air Centre in over 5 years, and I don't see it happening today.

#709 Chicago Bulls +7 1/2

3-Units (7:35 P.M. CST)

Chicago's win streak of 3 straight road wins may come to an end tonight. The Bulls have won three straight while traveling, with the latest victim being the Phoenix Suns. Their previous two wins came at the expense of cellar dwellers Sacramento Kings and L.A. Clippers.

Chicago is getting very good offensive and defensive production from both Ben Gordon(20 PPG) and Derrick Rose(17 PPG). They may catch a break with Houston's Tracy McGrady nursing another ankle injury.

Houston must have big games from Yao Ming(20 PPG) and Ron Artest(16 PPG) to take some of the pressure off of McGrady. Houston has won 10 of the last 11 in this series, but must play better defensively or may be in for a surprise in this game. Chicago is playing better than Houston both offensively and defensively over their last 5 games, and although they played against weaker opponents, they did exactly what they were supposed to do which is win. Look for Chicago to cover and possibly pull the outright upset tonight against the Rockets.

Take the Chicago Bulls +7 1/2 for 3-Units!

Thanks and Good Luck.

#739 Hofstra Pride +11

3-Units (6:00 P.M. CST)

Surprisingly, Hofstra has won 4 of the last 6 meetings between these two schools. I am not hiding the fact that George Mason won the last two games, but one of those games went into overtime and the other one was a 3 point George Mason win. You get the picture? For some reason, Hofstra plays George Mason close, year in and year out.

Sophomore Guard Charles Jenkins leads all Pride players with 18 points a game, while Forward Greg Washington leads the team with 5.5 rebounds per game. The Pride had won 4 straight before a disappointing 4 point loss to VCU at home on Saturday.

Guard Cam Long leads all Patriot players with 12 points a game, while Forward Darryl Monroe leads the team with 9 rebounds per outing. Unlike Hofstra, George Mason has lost 3 of its last 4 games. Although the three losses were on the road, they now face a Hofstra team that is allowing a league low 39% from the field.

Considering how close these two have played in the past, I will be taking the double digit points, and hope that the Pride defense comes through once again.

Take the Hofstra Pride +11 for 3-Units!

Thanks and Good Luck.

#817 Minnesota Golden Gophers Pk

4-Units (1:00 P.M. CST)

When I first saw this line I thought that maybe I was missing something here. The only thing that I could figure into the equation is that the lines makers are thinking that Minnesota will suffer a HUGE letdown after their come from behind win over Wisconsin on Thursday night. Come on now, the Northwestern Wildcats have lost lost 28 of their last 29 Big Ten Conference games! Now they get to take a shot at a well balanced, Tubby Smith coached, Minnesota team that is 16-1 on the season and 4-1 in conference play!

Maybe it's the fact that the Gophers don't have that one exceptional athlete that is scoring 20+ points a game. That may be true, but what they do have is guard Lawrence Westbrook that is averaging 14 points a game, to go along with 10 Players averaging 4+ points a game, which indicates that they have a very good core of players coming off of the bench that is contributing in each and every game. So how do the Gophers have a 16-1 record with their leading scorer averaging just 14 points a game? Simple answer: Defense. The Gophers are holding opponents to 62 points a game on the season, while holding opponents to 39% from the field, with excellent guard play is holding opponents to 31% from 3-point range.

Northwestern is nearly the mirror image of Minnesota. They don't have a player that is averaging 20+ a game. Instead they rely on Forward Kevin Coble(14 PPG) and Guard Craig Moore(14 PPG) for their offensive production. One major problem with the Wildcats is that if Coble or Moore struggle, they are not deep enough to offset the loss in production. Minnesota is 16-1 overall, 4-1 in conference play, and 4-0 the last 4 times they faced Northwestern. And this line is a Pick it?

When I have a problem trying to figure out why a line is off by my standards, I always look to public vs sharp money. The public is on the Gophers by a 65% margin, and the line has moved from Northwestern being a 1 point favorite to a pick it. This is an indication that the sharp money is going along with the public money for this game by a small margin. Public money and a Small Sharp move is enough for me to make this a 4-Unit Play!

Take the Minnesota Golden Gophers at a PK for 4-Units!

Thanks and Good Luck

****#376 UTEP Miners -7

4-Units (8:05 P.M. CST)

After struggling to run the ball against Buffalo in their opener, the Miners rushed for 145 against a pretty good Texas defense last week. The big question mark is which offense will show up tonight? I think it will be the UTEP offense that has helped the Minors to a 7-3 record over the New Mexico St. Aggies over the last 10 meetings. The Minors have scored 24+ points over the last 4 meetings, and are 3-1 in those contests. Neither quarterback has looked impressive thus far into the season. UTEP's Trevor Vittatoe has completed 54% of his passes with 2 touchdowns and 3 picks, while the highly touted Chase Holbrook struggled in New Mexico St.'s opener against Nebraska. Holbrook completed just 50% of his passes while throwing for no touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Look for UTEP running back Terrell Jackson to get going against a Aggies defense that gave up over 300 rushing yards to the Huskers last week. It should be noted that UTEP has won 6 straight home games over the Aggies and the favorite is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

Take the UTEP Minors -7 for 4-Units as our NCAAF Play of the Day Selection.

Thanks and Good Luck
