20 DIMER - WASHINGTON HUSKIES....10 DIMERS - WAKE FOREST, & PENN STATE
20 DIMER - WASHINGTON HUSKIES
Arizona State has had plenty of success against the rest of the Pac 10 this season, but Washington is a team that has given the Sun Devils fits, as U-Dub swept the season series, winning by double-digits in Tempe, and holding on for a 3-point overtime win at home as the 3 1/2-point favorite.
Overall, the Huskies have taken 9 of the last 10 meetings, and they have covered 6 of the last 9 showdowns.
Washington has won 9 of their last 10 games, including 6 straight, and the Huskies have also gone 6-2-1 against the spread their last 9 games.
Sure, Arizona State dumped in-state rival Arizona last night, but once again it looks like the matchups in this game are wrong for the Sun Devils.
At a near pick, I am siding with the Huskies to advance to the Pacific 10 championship game tomorrow.
10 DIMER - WAKE FOREST DEMON DEACONS
The Terrapins have given the Deacons fits of late, as Maryland has taken 4 of the last 5 series meetings straight up. Wake did snap a 4-game series slide with the 2-point road win just 10 days ago, and on a neutral floor tonight, I like the Demon Deacons to take care of the Terps for a second straight time.
Maryland had to play yesterday, while Wake had the benefit of the much-needed bye, and the Deacons are also riding a 4-game win, and 3 game cover streak as they hit the hardwood tonight in Atlanta.
The Terrapins are too up-and-down for my liking, as evidenced by their 5-5 mark their last 10 games.
I will lay the points with Wake.
10 DIMER - PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS
Excellent chance for the Nittany Lions to pull an upset, as Purdue is having all kinds of problems finding their game right now, and Penn State does own a little momentum coming in to this one.
The Lions have won 5 of their last 7 outright, and they looked strong yesterday against Indiana.
The Boilermakers have dropped 2 in a row, and 3 of their last 4, and are also just 5-5 their last 10.
The season series was a home-and-home split, and I have a feeling that if Purdue is able to win this game, this game could very well be decided by the last possession.
Have to grab the points with this live dog tonight.
