February 6th
Miami -3.5 (-110), 2*
Both teams have been playing well lately. Duke is coming off the UNC game 48 hours prior. Big letdown spot for them on the road. Miami just lost to Duke 68-66 three weeks ago. This is a great spot for them to get revenge against a team who might not have their best game. These quick turnaround spots from Saturday to Monday can be tricky, especially for the road team.
I’m also considering Kansas -4. I anticipate a much better effort after that poor performance against Iowa State. If Kansas is going to have a chance at the Big 12 regular season title, they have to win this game. There is a large group of teams in the Big 12 with 3 or 4 losses. Texas is the only team at 8-2. Texas is at the end of a tough stretch of games. At Tennessee, home v Baylor, at K-State on Saturday and at Kansas on Monday. I’m waiting to see if any money is going to come in on Texas. If the line starts to climb up to -4.5, I will make sure to get a bet in before it gets to -5. I will update tomorrow.
Jackson State -4 (-110), 2*
Texas Southern -7.5 (-110), 2*
