Jeff Benton Thursday's College Hoops Action
10 Dime college basketball selection on PORTLAND minus the points at San Franciaco. The Pilots are ranging from a 2½- to 3-point road favorite both here in Vegas and offshore. When playing small road favlorites in college basketball, it’s imperative that you shop around and get the best value avallable. There’s no need to lay the extra half-point here if you don’t have to.
Portland
Portland has delivered a very predictable season to this point. Match up the Pilots against strong opposition and the results are pretty ugly: 13-point loss at Gonzaga, 22-point loss at Washington, 16-point loss at Washington State, 31-point loss at Kentucky. But when Portland has been allowed to play the role of bully, it has come through strong, going 14-0 against lesser foes. That includes 10 wins of nine points or more.
Well, it goes witaout saying that San Francisco falls into the “lesser foe” category – certainly, the Dons aren’t in the same league as the Gonzagas, Washingtons, Washington States and Kentuckys of the world. Although it has won four of its last five (including three double-digit wins), San Francisco is still just 8-10 on the season. Its last four victims were Santa Clara and San Diego (two conference opponents that are a combined 13-24 this season), plus Dominican and Hampton. The Dons have also taken down such powerhouses as Seattle, Holy Names (what?) and Montana (in overtime at home).
San Francisco has lost four straight games to Portland by scores of 78-60, 72-67, 74-58 and 70-59. And while it’s true the Dogs are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 conference games, they also calshed in just one of those four contests against Portland (additionally, the favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the road team is 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine).
Throw in the fact that A) the chalk is 14-3-1 ATS in Portland’s 18 lined games this season and B) the Pilots (73.3 percent) are the better free-throw sholting team than San Francisco (65 percent), and getting the superior all-around team at this cheap price (even on the road) is a bargain we cannot pass up.

These 2 squads have met more than any other pair in the history of the NFL, with
this marking their 182nd matchup, but only their 2nd such playoff faceoff. The first
came in 1941, with the Bears winning 33-14 at Wrigley Field. And they've never
before met for the NFC title. The Packers have been brilliant, of course, with those
48 pts at Atlanta marking the most ever in their storied playoff history, & the 2nd
most pts for a playoff road team. And that came vs a Falcon squad which was on
a 16-1 SU run in the Georgia Dome with Ryan under center. Green Bay never
punted in that rout (4 drives of at least 80 yds), with Rodgers continuing his brilliant
play, completing

Bears prevailing 20-17 (final 0:04), in an early Monday Nighter, when the Packers
were flagged for 152 penalty yds. Their rematch was "do-or-die" for Green Bay,
which needed a 4th-quarter TD pass from Rodgers for the 10-3 win on the final
week of regular season play. Cutler has evolved into a true leader, & last week he
became the first QB with 2 TDs both rushing & passing in a playoff game since
Otto Graham in '55. Bears nailed TDs in 3 of their first 4 drives in win over Seattle,
but won't happen vs this Packer "D". Rodgers & Co simply a cut above Chicago.

Rematches are unquestionably, the overriding theme of this year's NFL playoffs,
with only the Jets/Colts & Ravens/Chiefs meetings not pairing squads which have
previously played during the 2010 season. These 2 outfits met on Dec 19, with the
Jets (+5) snapping a 2-game slide, in overcoming a 17-10 deficit late in the 3rd, for
a 22-17 win, despite 25-17 FD & 378-276 yd deficits. As a matter of fact, the Jets
snapped a 12-quarter run without an offensive TD, in that upset. And note NY
running for 106 yds in that one. May not seem like much, but only 2 teams topped
75 RYs on the Steelers all season (103 by the Pats). That's right, Pitt allowed just
62.8 RYpg, which is the 5th best such stat in NFL history. Ravens last week: 35
RYs (1.9 ypr). And note the Steelers holding 6 of their 7 opponents, prior to that
one, to 8.0 ppg. That contest was a game of breaks, with the key play coming on
a 58-yd Roethlisberger prayer, as the Ravens inexplicably rushed just 3 men on a
3rd-&-19, after collapsing the pocket all game long. Ben is now 19/5, with 3,426
yds, in just 13 games. This marks Pitt's 3rd title game in 6 years, with 23-14 and
34-17 wins in '08 & '05, en route to Super Bowl rings. The Jets haven't made it that
far since the hallowed '68 Joe Namath season, failing to advance in 3 title games in
the interim. Sanchez now has an amazing 4 playoff road wins in just 2 years (3 TD
passes vs the Pats), with all 4 coming in the dog role. Can NewYork take down
Manning, Brady, & Roethlisberger? Maybe, but Jets' bread-&-butter overland game
won't open much up for Sanchez & Co. If Steelers don't give it away this is theirs.
