200♦ Cleveland Cavaliers
Already clearly cap room for James in 2010 the fans of New York we get sneak preview of the best player in the league as the Cavaliers bury the Knicks tonight. The same Cleveland team that covered their last trip to MSG by 9’ points as LeBron went off for 50 points. Well thanks to Cleveland rolling into tonight’s game red hot by winning 9 of their last 10 games while covering 4 of their last 5 I look for similar results for Cleveland. After all given the fact that New York is one of the worst defensive teams in the league and one that was worsened by a pair of cap trades last week the Knicks will be no match up Cleveland tonight. Bottom line, I see this match up as the biggest blowout of the night as Cleveland behind James will crush New York. Take the Cavaliers minus the points.
100♦ Ball State Cardinals
Playing at home and doing so in style tonight I like the Cardinals minus the points. I mean sure tonight’s number might look high at first glance, but the Cardinals have been asked all year to cover big numbers and they have done a great job going 8-2 ATS this season thanks to outscoring their opponents by a whooping 21 ppg. Even better it’s the Cardinal defense that has been equally as solid by only allowing 16 ppg. Well both of those numbers are better then what Western Michigan has done this year and they will continue tonight as Ball State wraps up a regular season a big winner at home. With out a Western Michigan is good enough to keep things close tonight, but in the end with Ball State playing at home and stay undefeated I look for a two touchdown win for the Cardinals tonight. All Ball State minus the points!
