Cajun Sports CBB 2* Complimentary Selection- Saturday
TIME: 8 PM EST. Saturday February 21
GAME: FSU Seminoles vs. Virginia Tech Holies -2
RATING: 1* to 6* (6* Highest Rated Selection)
PLAY: 2* Florida State Seminoles +2
ANALYSIS:
Cassell Coliseum will be the site of tonight’s ACC battle between the host Virginia Tech Hokies and the visiting Seminoles from Florida State University. The Hokies check in with a record of 16-9 SU and 8-12 ATS on the season which includes a record of 9-2 SU at home but an ugly 2-6 ATS record for their backers. Their last five have seen them drop three of those straight up and only cover one of the five against the number averaging 73.4 points per game but allowing 76.6 points per game. Two of those losses came on a recent two-game road swing that saw them lose to Maryland 83 to 73 and at Virginia 75 to 61 as a 1.5 point road favorite. We know that CBB teams off back-to-back road games and now play at home with a line range of pk to 2.5 are 47-69-1 ATS. FSU comes into tonight’s game off a home win over Miami 80 to 67 as a 3.5 point home favorite. FSU is 20-6 SU and 13-6 ATS on the season with a road record of 9-3 SU and 8-2 ATS averaging 67.7 points per game on 44.2 percent shooting from the field and allowing 65.8 points per game on 39 percent shooting. This is bad news for the Hokies as they are 0-8 ATS in home games versus teams that allow opponents to only shoot <=39% from the field after 15+ games since 1997. FSU is 10-2 ATS after having won 2 of their last 3 games this season, 8-1 ATS when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 2 seasons and 12-3 ATS their last 15 when installed as an underdog. While the Hokies struggle in the role of favorite posting a record of 2-7 ATS their last nine laying chalk. When comparing common opponents that each have faced this season we see FSU is 8-3 SU and 6-3 ATS with the Hokies going 6-4 SU and only 2-7 ATS. FSU averaged 69.4 points per game and allowed 65.3 points per game while the Hokies averaged 74.6 points per game but allowed 76.6 points per game in those contests. We have an all systems go on the Seminoles tonight in Blacksburg as the Noles shock the Hokies and get the straight up win.

Dave Cokin's UW Green Bay-Long Beach State Winner!
663-64 UW-Green Bay @ Long Beach State 5:30PM ET
Play: Green Bay -3
Long Beach State has made some very impressive strides this season. But this looks like a potential dead spot for the 49ers. They're now tied for the top spot in the Big West off their thrilling road win at Fullerton on Wednesday, and there's a real chance they could be less than 100% focused for this game. UW-Green Bay is the better team, and while this is not the easiest trip in the world, they would appear to have a clear situational edge. I'll lean to Green Bay as small road chalk.
I've been smokin' hot in hoops lately and my biggest plays have been money in the bank all season. And I'm 100% lifetime on my Bracket Buster Games of the Year. Make sure you're on today's cream of the crop. Get my Bracket Buster Game of the Year right here for just $30!

UNLV is 40-17-2 ATS vs. a team with a win percentage of over 60% and they are 7-2 ATS their last 9 games overall. The Running Rebels are 32-17-2 ATS when playing on Saturday. BYU is 23-51-2 ATS as road underdogs and they are 2-5 ATS vs. a team with a win percentage of over 60%.

Saturday's 3*** Top Play in the NBA is ON THE HOUSE from KING CREOLE!

3*** UTAH JAZZ minus the points vs New Orleans Hornets / 9:05pm ET / #908
The Hornets played last night IN Los Angeles.... and took the Lakers right down to the wire, losing in OVERTIME 115-111. They didn't get the win, but the DID get the ATS cash. Now, they take to the road in one of the NBA's least profitable situations. Playing on the ROAD with NO rest against the Utah Jazz. Chris Paul played 45 minutes in last night's game... so he might be a little sore in tonight's game. Let's not forget that Utah has the ultimate motivation going for them tonight. Their owner (Larry Miller) passed away last night as he lost his battle with diabetes.
GREAT situation number ONE:
2-16-3 ATS last 3 years: All NBA Western Conference teams playing on the road with NO REST versus the UTAH JAZZ (Hornets). These teams are a PERFECT 0-10-2 ATS if the Utah Jazz are playing off a SU win. And since Utah just beat Boston at home (as a dog) a couple of days ago, ALL SYSTEMS are GO to "fade" the Hornets tonight.
GREAT situation number TWO:
12-24 ATS last 3 years: All NBA underdogs who played the previous night on the ROAD versus the LOS ANGELES LAKERS.... that lost the game STRAIGHT UP but got the ATS win in the process (New Orleans). These teams are 5-16 ATS versus any opponent off a SU win (like the JAZZ are).... and 0-6 ATS if that opponent is of a DOG win (like the JAZZ). If these doggies are playing with NO REST, we also note that they are 1-8 ATS.

40 DIMER - AUBURN TIGERS....20 DIMER - RICHMOND SPIDERS...10 DIMER - OKLAHOMA SOONERS
40 DIMER - AUBURN TIGERS - 8:00 PM
LSU is a little "high" on themselves right now, as they have won 7 straight, but the G-Man is here to tell you the Tigers will NOT cover this impost!
Auburn got over the hump on the road with their big Wednesday night win at Georgia. Sure, the Bulldogs suck, but that is a stepping stone for the Tigers of Auburn, and the G-Man likes them to be there all the way today in Baton Rouge, as they give the Bayou Bengals all they can handle.
Auburn is brimming with confidence, as they have won and covered 4 straight, and if they could pull off the outright today, would have to be considered on the bubble in a few weeks for an at-large bid.
Series history shows the visitor having won outright in the last pair of meetings, and Auburn is on a money-turning 5-1 spread run the last 6 showdowns!
Take the points, as Auburn comes close to the upset.
20 DIMER - RICHMOND SPIDERS - 6:00 PM
Can you say L-E-T-D-O-W-N?
Charlotte is off a HUGE win at home on Thursday over Xavier, and now they will get their asses handed to them on the conference road this Saturday afternoon.
A 1-10-1 road spread mark their last 12 does not instill confidence catching under 3 baskets today in Spider-land.
Richmond has won 2 of their last 3, and they have won and covered the last pair in the series.
The 49ers will still be thinking about their upset of nationally-ranked Xavier when they hit the court today, and I don't think Charlotte will be able to keep their heads in this game at the outset.
Look for Charlotte to be down early, and not have enough to come back.
Take the Spiders.
10 DIMER - OKLHAHOMA SOONERS - 9:00 PM
I guess you have to make the Longhorns a favorite in their home court, BUT this is not your normal Texas edition.
The Longhorns were not even close at Texas A&M earlier this week, and just because they are back at home does not mean they are going to handle matters against an Oklahoma team that may very well end up in the Final Four next month.
Boomer-Sooners easily dominated the season's 1st meeting, 78-63 in Norman, and while I don't expect a double-digit road win, I surely think OU has enough in all areas to take this game outright.
The Longhorns have dropped 4 of their last 6 straight up, and they are just 3-7 against the spread at home this season.
The Sooners are 7-3-1 away from home versus the line, and now that the 6-game series monkey against Texas is off their back, I expect Oklahoma to complete the season series sweep.
Go with Oklahoma here.

DR BOB Opinions
Saturday Night College Opinions/Possible Best Bet
DePaul (+25 ½) over PITTSBURGH
Rotation #571 – 4 pm Pacific
Pitt will have a tough time getting up for this game after their big upset win at U Conn and the Panthers apply to a very negative 9-49-1 ATS big home favorite letdown situation that plays against elite teams as huge favorites against bad teams on a losing streak. DePaul has lost 13 consecutive games and the Blue Demons are just 4-17 ATS this season, but their 45 point loss to an angry Louisville team (the Cardinals were off a humiliating loss at Notre Dame and took it out on DePaul) has finally led to the line catching up to DePaul’s low level of play. In fact, my ratings favor Pitt by just 25 ½ points in this game. In addition to the situation against Pitt, there is a solid 71-32-5 ATS situation that applies to DePaul that plays on bad teams on a long losing steak. I’ll lean with the Blue Demon as +25 or more and I’ll take DePaul in a 2-Star Best Bet if the line goes back up to +26 points or more.
TENN CHATTANOOGA (-7 ½) over Samford
Rotation #728 – 4 pm Pacific
Chattanooga was horrible early in the season without F Kevin Goffney (12.8 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 1.3 steals and 50% shooting), and the Mocs have been undervalued since he returned to the lineup after Christmas. Chattanooga opened as an 8 ½ point favorite today and the line has come down to 7 ½ points based on betting programs that a designed to come up with a true line. My ratings would also favor the Moccasins by 7 ½ points using games for the entire season, but I favor Chattanooga by 9 ½ points using games in which Goffney played (and using Samford’s games with all their starters playing). I’ll lean with Chattanooga at -8 points or less based on the line value.

DePaul (+25 ½) over PITTSBURGH
Rotation #571 – 4 pm Pacific
Pitt will have a tough time getting up for this game after their big upset win at U Conn and the Panthers apply to a very negative 9-49-1 ATS big home favorite letdown situation that plays against elite teams as huge favorites against bad teams on a losing streak.
