4 Unit Play. #722. Take Temple -11.5 over St. Louis (Thursday @ 8pm est). As a dog player, it's not often that I lay it on favorites, but on this streak of 8 straight winners as we come off a push on South Carolina yesterday, we have played several favorites when the time is right such as Illinois several times. Such is the case here as we catch Fran Dunphy's team off of a conference loss to Umass on the road by a score of 75-79. For Temple, who is now 1-1 in conference play is a big loss. But, look what Temple has done this year as this team is a top 60 team in the power rankings while St. Louis is just a top 175 team. For starters, Temple is the same team that defeated Penn State, a Big 10 team on the Outright by 6 points, defeated Tennessee by 16 points at home, defeated a to p150 team in Kent State by 15 points at home, defeated College of Charleston on the road by 5 and is the same team that comes back home ticked off due to a conference loss. What has St. Louis accomplished this year -a decent amount. The better question is, what has St. Louis accomplished on the road this year? Nada. Here are the road results for St. Louis: 0-4. Those 4 road losses come by margins of a 14 point loss to Nebraska (a similarly ranked team to Temple but lower scoring than Temple), losing outright to a top 250 school in Detroit, losing to Southern Illinois by 16 and losing to Xavier by 26 on the road. In these four games, St. Louis has scored point totals of 57, 57, 48 and 44. St. Louis folks is a defensive team that is not known for scoring prowess on the highway although they are a different team at home due to the atmosphere, their level of defense and comfort at home. But, on the road, they are a different team that struggles and with Temple coming off a loss and who can put up the likes of 70+ points as they a team that is frustrated, this could be a burial from start to finish as St. Louis does not have the edge necessarily coming off some nice home wins while Temple comes home in a very sour mood. St. Louis is 1-7 ATS following a straight up win, the Owls are 5-0 ATS with a spread of this margin and the Owls are 14-3 ATS over their last 17 contests.

Good luck,
Indian Cowboy.

4 Unit Play. Take Over 192.5 between the Boston Celtics @ the Orlando Magic (Thursday @ 8pm est). I was actually waiting to see if we can get a better line at 191.5 and the possibility of it going down a half a point since this morning, but no go. Alas, we find ourselves still with a good line here at 192.5 as we look to go 3-1 this week and place ourself in a very strong position of winning our 5th straight winning week. Look, these two teams hate each other. I cannot even begin to tell you the dislike that emanates between these two squads. The NBA is all about appearances. And, there are some teams that just get up to play others and hate other teams. Such is the case here. I guarantee you, pillsbury dough boy Van Gundy (my favorite NBA Coach) has been stating over, and over again about the fact that this Magic team got pounded at Boston last time around. Let's not fool ourselves - it was a domination. The Magic lost 107-88 in much the same way the Suns lost at Boston recently. These two teams don't quit. If one has the opportunity to run up the score on the other - they will. These two teams will not quit despite being down big as well. Remember, Boston had that game secured when the first time they met and yet these two teams still kept scoring as they don't want to let the other sit in the rear-view mirror as each knows they are dangerous teams that are capable of quick strike comebacks. Orlando has put up 100+ points in their last 7 games and that includes putting up 127 against the Hawks in Orlando in a game in which the Hawks actually had revenge and are known as a defensive team. There is no reason why Orlando cannot score a 100 today with such revenge, the crowd going nuts, getting to the free throw line and Boston to keep pace with at least 95. Once again, if either team has a chance to run up the score they will. With 65% on Boston as the public dog, I see Orlando actually covering the spread, which makes me like the total even more as that indicates Orlando will have sound success scoring. I have this game totaling around 208 actually and will be glad to take the over as I see it as a significant play on my set of spreadsheets.

Good luck,
Indian Cowboy.

Marco D'Angelo | CBB Sides
double-dime bet707 W.Virginia 5.5 (-110) Bodog vs 708 Georgetown
Analysis: PLAY: WEST VIRGINIA
RATING: DOUBLE DIME PLAY

West Virginia is coming off a game in which they only beat S. Florida by 3 points as a 17.5 point favorite. That flat effort was predictable as they were looking ahead to this big Revenge Game with Georgetown. You see it was Georgetown who knocked West Virginia out of the Big East Tournament last year in Blowout fashion. Also note that Georgetown is coming off a Big Road game at Duke on Saturday and should be flat tonight. I have West Virginia winning OUTRIGHT by 4-6 points. This is my ESPN INSIDER PLAY

Marco Rated this Play a 5 STAR PLAY on his Executive Late Phone Service

715 Purdue 0.0 (-110) Bodog vs 716 Minnesota
Analysis: Stan is Betting PURDUE today. Stan notes that we are getting great line value here because MINNESOTA has a great record and went into Wisconsin and won. They return home looking to bounce back and Stan feels that Minnesota is over rated as they have played a soft schedule. Purdue is the much better team. Stan has PURDUE winning tonight by 6-9 points. TAKE PURDUE as STAN SHARP'S CONFERENCE BLOWOUT GAME OF THE WEEK and make them a DOUBLE DIME PLAY.

Lenny Del Genio | CBB Sides Triple-Dime Bet
737 St. Mary's (Cal.) -4.5 (-110) BetUS vs 738 San Diego
Analysis:
Play on St. Mary?s at 9:00 ET. San Diego, by virtue of its 1st round upset of UConn in LY?s NCAA Tournament, has a higher profile heading into this year and thus has less line value. The Toreros are already just 2-5 ATS at home this season and tonight will be facing the toughest visitor to date in St. Mary?s. San Diego also has benefited from playing the weakest teams in the WCC thus far. Even if you struggle to score like the Toreros do, that?s okay when you play the likes of San Fransisco, Pepperdine, Santa Clara and a horrible Loyola Marymount team. The Gaels, meanwhile, have been outstanding away from home this year, covering eight of nine road games. Huge edge on the boards for St. Mary?s as they have TWO double-digit rebounders (Simpson and Sahman) while San Diego?s top rebounder is just 6?7?. Even if Gaels G Pat Mills has a normal night (averages 19.1 PPG), the home team is in trouble here as St. Mary?s averages about 15 PPG more than does San Diego to begin with. Our ranked visitor is also playing with revenge for an outright loss here as 5.5 point favorites last year. St. Mary?s is our WCC Game of the Year.



Thu, 01/22/09 - 8:00 PMLenny Del Genio | CBB Sides Double-Dime Bet
728 Mid. Tenn -9.5 (-110) BetUS vs 727 Arkansas St.
Analysis:
Play on Middle Tennessee State at 8:00 ET. Arkansas State just can?t score. We?re almost into February and the Red Wolves still haven?t hit the one point per possession plateau. That?s pretty scary when preparing to enter the heart of your conference schedule when your upcoming opponents will all know how to prepare for what you want to do on offense. MTSU has covered 19 of its last 29 SBC Games and entering in off BB road losses means a focused effort tonight. ASU is averaging just 61 PPG at home and makes its living off getting turnovers (8 steals per game). However, that will be negated by the fact that the Blue Raiders turn the ball over just 12 times per game. Middle Tenn State is our Sun Belt Conference Game of the Month.
