Oregon

While Utah is cruising into the NCAA Tourney, stretch-running Oregon has a chance to move to the safe side of the Big Dance cut line if it can dump the well-regarded Utes, whose few Pac-12 stumbles have all come on the road. The Oregon offense in high gear during its current 5-1 SU run, paced by red-hot former Houston transfer G Joseph Young (25.6 ppg last five).

Oakland -10.5

I'm going to keep playing Oakland, because they just have been great for me this year. UIC on the road is just not a good team and matchup wise Oakland is a nightmare for the Flames. The last game these two teams met Oakland beat them by 14 in UIC...If Oakland comes out of the gate strong they can go wire to wire in this one..Oakland has started slow and laying a big number at home draws a concern. I do however like the fact that this is UIC last road game for the reg season...UIC has lost 10 out of 12 and Oakland is the complete opposite winning 9 out of 11...This game for Oakland should be the stronger of the two home games. They have Youngstown on deck , but have Wisc-GB waiting on deck...So i think the Grizzlies pull it all together here today. Oakland is by far the much better offense here. They are a full 10 points better than UIC...UIC on defense has issues. They allow 73ppg and they way that Oakland moves the ball, i expect plenty of open looks..G Kahlil Felder didn't have his sharpest game..That was our CBB GOY in which we won..So this Grizzlies team has been good to us in recent games..I fully expect Felder to take over this game as UIC has nothing to match his skill set..Pancos down low will chop and grind and this one can get ugly...UIC will have no motivation in this one tonight..Coach Kampe will have this primed and ready. I just can't see oakland coming out and playing a bad game inthis one before the Horizon tounament gets underway soon..Oakland comes to play a full 40 minutes today..I think they get the win and cover in this one no sweat.

3G-SPORTS

Charlotte Hornets +10.5

Charlotte at times they can get a bit lethargic on the offensive side of things, they cannot do that here. Because, if fill in, Brian Roberts doesn't keep things gong at their game pace, Dallas will blow them off the court. Cody Zeller has to continue to play better, he has been playing too up and down. Dallas comes into this game with a strong will and this can in fact, be a statement game, believe it or not, they need to be opportunistic to make it happen and show they cannot be counted out, come playoff time. They want to move up in the standings, and they need to win these games. Charlotte should get a big game from BIG AL.

CAJUN SPORTS

Saint Louis +5

LaSalle and Saint Louis square off on Sunday afternoon a game which will be carried by NBCS with tipoff set for 2:30PM Eastern Time. LaSalle coming off a straight up win in their last game have only managed a record of 6-18-1 ats. If LaSalle was a favorite at home in their last game and now face a conference opponent on the road they are 8-19-1 ats. A check of our database reveals several key systems that favor our play ON team on Sunday. We want to Play ON conference home underdogs who are coming in off an ats loss while going Under against a team winning sixty percent or more of their games, 113-75-6 ats. We used the same parameters just added the line range for this game and we see our Play ON teams are 47-28-3 ats.

MATT FARGO

We are catching some great line value with Michigan as its five-game losing streak is playing heavily into this number. The Wolverines are having a tough season as they are now at .500 overall including a 6-8 record in the Big Ten. Injuries have played a key part in their struggles but now they are getting their biggest line of the season on their home floor with the exception of Wisconsin where they went to overtime and covered the big number. Playing Ohio St. will certainly bring out a full effort but add to that a 19-point loss to the Buckeyes last month and we insert revenge to the mix. Ohio St. is coming off a loss in its last game at Michigan St. to fall to 8-5 in the conference and being just 2.5 games better than Michigan, should not be laying this kind of road lumber. The Buckeyes are 3-5 on the road and while the five losses have come against teams that are better than the Wolverines, the wins have come against teams that are worse and two of those came by just two points. Going back, the Buckeyes are 2-10-1 ATS in their last 13 road games while the Wolverines are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games following a double-digit loss at home.

Play (822) Michigan Wolverines

NEWSLETTER Oscar’s Prediction From Raphael Esparza

Take “Boyhood” (+120) to Win Best Picture (8 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 22)

I believe it’s a two-movie race for Best Picture this Sunday in the 2015 Oscars and its between Birdman (the small favorite) and Boyhood. Boyhood won Best Picture in the Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards, but Birdman picked up the shocking upset in the SAG awards. I thought Birdman was outstanding, and Michael Keaton was nothing but brilliant, but getting Boyhood at 7-5 seems like a steal, so my pick for Best Picture is ‘Boyhood’. Boyhood took almost 12 years to make, so I believe this could be the straw that brings the Golden Statue to the movie.

Bonus Play Sunday

(823) WESTERN KENTUCKY at (824) MIDDLE TENNESSEE 1:00PM

Take: (823) WESTERN KENTUCKY +4

Rivalry time today at Murfreesboro as Western Kentucky hooks up with Middle Tennessee. It’s Senior Day for the Blue Raiders, and a big crowd is anticipated for this nationally televised CUSA hookup.

Western Kentucky arrives on a three-game losing streak, and what looked to be a cinch finish in the top four of the conference is now no longer secure. That’s big as the first four in the standings get that all-important bye come conference tourney time, so I see this as a game the Hilltoppers really need.

Middle Tennessee has been no great shakes of late, either. The Blue Raiders snapped out of their funk with an insane 50-7 run last game against a woeful Marshall entry. But I’m not sure that’s anything more than a blip, and I’m not treating as any type of buy signal.

This would seem to be a decent fundamental matchup for the road team. Western Kentucky owns the best three-point defense in CUSA. Middle Tennessee has had trouble getting good looks on the deuces all season. My overall numbers indicate that the Hilltoppers are the better squad, but more importantly, they own the better offense. Unlike other sports where I tend to focus on defense first, that’s not the case for me in college basketball.

I think there’s a logical rationale for this approach. All we’re hearing about, and with apparent good reason, is the dearth of offense that currently exists in college hoops. I’ve been adjusting my thought process somewhat as a result, and while it’s not a cut and dried routine by any means, I’m now putting more weight on the offensive data than the defense. I like what I’m seeing in the results column since making this transition. In a nutshell, it’s called going with the flow and trying to capitalize.

This game certainly has the look of one that figures to be tightly contested. Given the stats I’m emphasizing and the situation, I believe the move is to take the points in a what I believe should be a coin flip duel. That makes Western Kentucky plus the points the choice.

Jim's NBA Bonus Play for Sunday, February 22, 2015: 5:05 PM ET

(809) GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS VS (810) INDIANA PACERS

Take: (809) GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS

Reason: Your Bonus Play for Sunday, February 22, 2015 is in the NBA Scheduled contest between the Golden State Warriors and Indiana Pacers. Neither of these clubs made any moves prior to the trade deadline. And, if you are Golden State why would you. They are the best in the West and playing great, why tinker with what's working? The Warriors started the second half of the season with a nice win over the Spurs on Friday, 110-99. It was the club's fourth straight win and seventh of the last eight. It was their first cover though in the last five games. For a team that has covered a lot of spreads, they finished the 1st half of the season with their longest spread losing streak, four games. Despite having a 22-33 record, the Pacers are just two games out of the playoffs in the much weaker East conference. Indiana has been playing much better, winning five of its last six games and going 7-3 the last 10. They have been covering spreads too, going 8-3 ATS their last 11 games. Right now Golden State has the best win percentage in the NBA and they are playing great basketball. The Pacers have been much better, but they are still in a weak division and I'll take the best team in the NBA against a weak East team. Your Bonus Play is on the Golden State Warriors.

Nashville Predators vs. Buffalo Sabres
Bonus Play on under 5

I usually look for 5.5 when I play unders but Buffalo games have reached 5 goals or less in their last 9 games. Hopefully, we see a 2-1 type of game. Worst case scenario is a 3-2 push.
Bonus Play on under 5 goals.

MARC LAWRENCE

Play - Nebraska.

Edges - Cornhuskers: 6-1 ATS home off a previous home loss; and 4-0 ATS before facing Ohio State; and 9-4 SU versus sub .640 opponents this season. Hawkeyes: 3-13 SU and 4-12 ATS in conference games before facing Illinois. With Iowa in off a 32-point win and the Huskers looking to avenge an 11-point loss last month in Ames, we recommend a 1-unit play on Nebraska. Thank you and good luck as always.
