Game: Temple Owls @ Charlotte 49ers - Wednesday January 27, 2010 7:00 pm
Pick: 5 unit(s) ATS: Charlotte 49ers +1.5 (-110) (Game of the Month)
15* graded play on Charlotte as they host Tempe in an Atlantic-10 showdown. Temple enters this game ranked 17th in the country with a 17-3 record. Charlotte has a solid 14-5 mark with those 5 losses against formidable foes in Duke, ODU, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, and Xavier. In conference play, Temple leads with a 5-0 mark. Xavier and Charlotte are both at 4-1 so this is for first place in the A-10. Temple is first in scoring defense in the conference, but they will be over matched with the high paced play that Charlotte likes to play. Charlotte will be led by BC transfer Shamari Spears and we don’t see any Temple defenders containing him tonight. Supporting this graded play is a series of coaching angles under scoring the advantages that Charlotte has in this game. Note that HC Lutz is 15-4 against the money line (+12.9 Units) in home games after covering 2 of their last 3 against the spread; 7-2 against the money line (+7.0 Units) in home games versus very good defensive teams sporting a shooting percentage defense of <=39% after 15+ games. Take Charlotte.
