MIAMI (-5) over Chicago
Rotation #802 – 10 am Pacific
The Heat have lost 3 straight games and were destroyed 95-125 at San Antonio on Friday night. That game should be the bottom for Miami, who applies to a 77-29 ATS bounce-back situation that is based on that blowout loss. Miami also applies to a 95-45-1 ATS home revenge situation, so the Heat should be properly motivated. My ratings favor Miami by 4 points and the line opened at 4 points, so the line move up to 5 points is a bit of a problem. I’ll lean with Miami at -5 or less and I’d take the Heat in a 2-Star Best Bet at -4 or less.

Sunday College Opinion/Possible Best Bet
Wake Forest (+16 ½) over BOSTON COLLEGE
Rotation #819 – 9 am Pacific
Boston College is coming off a 76-61 upset win as a 9 point dog at Virginia Tech, who letdown following their upset of #1 Duke. The Eagles are the team due for a letdown now, as BC applies to a negative 46-114-2 ATS big home favorite letdown situation. Wake Forest covered at North Carolina and at Clemson recently when those teams were in the same letdown situation that Boston College is in today, so the Demon Deacons are capable of staying within the big number. Wake Forest usually gets beaten up on when teams are motivated by a loss (2-8-2 ATS against teams off a loss), but the Demon Deacons are 7-5-1 ATS against teams off a win, including 3-0 ATS as a road dog of 15 points or more. This is senior night for Boston College, but the Eagles actually qualify in a very negative 11-56-3 ATS last home game big favorite situation. BC is also 0-5 ATS this season when favored by 7 points or more. My ratings favor Boston College by 17 ½ points and the line has dropped to 16 ½ points. I’ll lean with Wake at +16 ½ points, but I’d take Wake Forest in a 2-Star Best Bet at +17 points or more.
