MAC Game of the Month
Kent State at Miami Ohio
The Redhawks have played a brutal schedule so far this season and it has taken a toll on this squad. After facing the likes of Kentucky, New Mexico, Dayton, Temple, Cincinnati and Xavier they have been severely tested. But despite playing such a daunting slate they haven't figured out how to win. Miami enters play at 3-11 on the season with wins over Evansville, Wright State and Nicholls State. They are 0-7 straight up against Top 100 RPI squads and now they face off against a #63 ranked Kent State squad playing with double revenge. The Golden Flashes lost both meetings to the Redhawks last season and that cost them their fourth consecutive 20 win season. This is a road tested squad who has already faced the likes of Pittsburgh, Xavier and South Florida on enemy courts. This is a veteran team with 7 of the top 8 players being upperclassmen including 6 of those 7 being seniors. Miami has dropped 7 of their last 8 games with the only victory coming by a single point at home against Wright State. This team simply hasn't shown enough to be expected to win this game outright. These Kent seniors tasted defeat twice last year to Miami, now they get their revenge.

3* Ohio State +9.5
The Buckeyes have been depreciating since Evan Turner went down to injury but tonight is the night their struggles covering spreads stops. This line is set too high and the Boilermakers aren't covering it.
As you know I live in Vegas by way of Ohio and I've spoke to some close sources back home and the Buckeyes are going to be a solid play tonight.
Don't let the large line scare you because Purdue is 2-7 ATS in the last 9 hosting OSU and 4-13-1 in the last 18 meetings overall. In Purdue's only Big Ten game this year at home oddsmakers made Minnesota a 8.5 point dog against Purdue.
Ohio State is definitely better than the Golden Gophers but they are still receiving 1 more point than Minnesota received here last week. That tells you where they want the money coming in on this game and it's not Ohio State.
The public is laying the points with Purdue thinking this game is a landslide but don't bet on it because it's not happening. Take the Buckeyes and the 9.5
3* Colorado +5
Colorado is good at home with eight wins and no losses and I see them giving Baylor a very tough time tonight and maybe winning this outright. They've hung around with Arizona, Gonzaga, and Oregon State this year and are playing a lot better than the program has looked in the past couple of years.
Baylor was 0-4 ATS last year when laying road chalk and don't count on them getting it done tonight. Last year one of those games was in Boulder and the Buffaloes beat them by 7 as 8.5 point underdogs.
This may look like a gift to the average bettor but trust me it's not. The average bettor is just jumping into college basketball because of football winding down and isn't as sharp on what is going on at the current moment.
This line isn't off, if anything Baylor should be laying less points than this. Take the Buffs at home tonight who have been a cash cow against conference opponents over the past couple years ATS.

Lang has gotten real lucky with some of his games the game last night could have gone either way same thing with the Alabama cover look at sunday as a prime example of the long-term Lang he knew the Pats had injuries and still picked them good luck to Lang but, i would expect him to lose he has had a good Bowl season and now a few peoplw are starting to drink the Koo,l-Aid be very careful with his picks

Hurricanes vs. Maple Leafs
Both teams have delved into their Minor League System in an effort to inject some offense into their game. These teams have played Over the Total in (4) of (5) match-up sin Toronto and the Hurricanes have flown Over the Total in (6) of (7) road affairs of late. GM Brian Burke of the Maple Leafs has (9) unrestricted free agents on his roster and their willingness to stay in Toronto and Burke's willingness to keep them as Maple Leafs is a growing concern daily North of the Border. Amongst those players is Goaltender Jonas Gustavsson who has struggled. Speaking of struggling Burke has pleaded with his team to start getting some rebounds, get some screens and get shots to the net. We look for a turn for the better from Toronto at least on offense short term anyways. 5* Pot of Gold Carolina - Toronto Over the Total

Florida (+3') for 2.5 Units
The Wildcats, which haven't experienced a lot of time on the road,are in a tough spot here. Kentucky has only played one true road game (Indiana) and should struggle at this loud venue. Florida, which hit a snag in December with three straight losses, is coming off a loss at Vanderbilt on Saturday. Florida HC Donovan has his eyes on pulling the upset and surely the Gators are capable; after all, November 27th in Atlantic City, they beat then #2 ranked Michigan State. And keep in mind that the home team is 5-1 ATS in this series that's right, KY is 0-4 ATS as a visitor to Florida. Florida has a deep bench, play solid defense, and should shake off their perimeter woes by working the ball to get better looks. With KY at 1-6 ATS vs the SEC, we'll look for the Gators to deliver here.
