The Duke's Sports
Drexel (+14) for 2 Units
Pitino has a young team that wasn't supposed to make a whole lot of noise this year; however, they're now ranked (#21) and undefeated. As we know, with youth and early season winning comes trouble with handling prosperity after every big win. The win against UNLV Saturday was the biggest of the year for the young Cardinals and we'll look for them to take their foot off the gas pedal a bit here, which is an innate tendency in young athletes. Drexel, which has been a good road team in the Flint era, sports a 5-0 ATS road ledger and they're 6-1 ATS on Tuesdays. The Dragons rebound and play defense well -- two categories that can keep you in a game on the road. And sixth man Chris Fouch gives them some offensive firepower off the bench with 22.4 ppg. L'ville is a mere 13-28-2 ATS at home vs a team with a winning road record, 2-11-1 ATS off an ATS win, and 3-8 ATS on Tuesdays. We'll take the two touchdowns.

Cisco,
Yesterday you posted the following plays and records for these same 2 guys and given their results from yesterday the records you're posting today don't add up.... and the error seems to be in their favor. What gives? It would certainly make sense that folks claiming records of 60%+ are cheating.

Jeff Benton TUESDAY'S ACTION
20 Dime NBA release on the NUGGETS at home against the Magic. The pointspread in this game has shiated from an opening line of Denver minus-1 to Orlando -1½. Obviously that’s a huge line move in our favor, and you have to beleieve the number will continue to go up throughout the day. Regardless, make sure you shop around and get the best value avaidable with the Nuggets.
NUGGETS
After a 1-3 SU and ATS road trip, Denver returns home and not a moment too soon. That’s because the Nuggets are 10-1 at home this season, the only blemish being a 102-101 loss to the Mavericks on Nov. 3 – their second home game of the season – when Carmelo Anthony missed a game-winning shot at the buzzer.
Admittedly several of those home wins have been close (eight by seven points or less, including three by two points or less). But the oddsmakers have essentially put up a pick-em number tonight, so a win pretty much guarantees a spread-cover.
Why do I believe the Magic are ripe for the picking here? First of all, this caps a four-game, six-day Western Conference road trip. Orlando is 1-2 on the journey so far, beating the Clippers (ho-hum) and getting crushed at Portland (97-83) and Utah (117-105). Sunday’s 94-85 win in Los Angeles actually ended the Magic’s 0-4 SU and ATS slide that featured three double-digit road losses (to the Blazers, Jazz and Bucks) and a six-point home loss to the Bucks.
Going back to 2003, the home team has absolutely owned this rivalry, winning 15 of the last 16 meetings (13-2-1 ATS), including the Nuggets’ 115-97 romp last year in Colorado as a 5½-point home chalk. In fact, the Nuggets’ last four home wins against Orlando have been by margins of 16, 10, 10 and 18 points! Orlando failed to cover in all four of those games and has cashed exactly once in its last seven trips to the Mile High City.
Not only have the Magic lost four straight road games, they’re 3-10 ATS in their last 13 on the highway, 1-8 ATS in their last nine as a small underdog (less than five points, all on the road) and 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight against Northwest Division teams. Conversely, the Nuggets have covered in six of their last eight when laying less than five points.
Bottom line: Yes, I’m a little leery about Denver returning home and being ready to play after a lengthy East Coast road trip. But that’s offset by Orlando being in an equally tough scheduling position, and at least the Nuggets got yesterday to rest. And now that I know Carmelo Anthony is healthy – he sat out two games on last week’s road trip with a knee injury before returning Sunday and dropping 31 points and 13 rebounds on the Knicks – I’m 100 percent comfortable with this play.

Tuesday College Opinion
Georgia Southern (+26) over CINCINNATI
Rotation #729 – 4 pm Pacific
Georgia Southern applies to a very good 182-87-5 ATS huge road underdog situation that is already 4-0 this season, including 2-0 last night with Cal Poly and Wisconsin Green Bay, but I think the line is a bit too low. My ratings favor Cincinnati by 27 points and I’m not willing to give up the line value to make this a Best Bet. I’ll lean with Georgia Southern at +26 points and I’d take Georgia Southern in a 2-Star Best Bet at +27 points or more.
