Matchup: Bowling Green vs. Ohio
Selection: Ohio -12
Explanation: We will lay the points with Ohio as they face-off against Bowling Green in Tuesday's College Basketball contest.
Ohio has the much better offense. Ohio (at home) is scoring an average of 73.3 points per game, while Bowling Green (on the road) is scoring an average of only 60.7 points per game. It's clear that the Ohio offense can destroy this Bowling Green team.
Ohio is a team that has proven they can play well at home. In fact, Ohio is 45-20-1 ATS in their last 66 home games.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves
Play:Philadelphia 76ers
The 76ers ended the 1st half break on a 5-0 SU run, while the T-Wolves went 0-5. A serious backcourt issue in terms of match-ups for Minnesota as well, as Miller and Green for Philly are better scorers. Al Jefferson may have his points tonight for Minnesota, but with Philly allowing just 84 ppg their last 5 games on defense, and Minnesota having an 11-15 ATS home record against a team with a winning spread record on the road, and on a roll, with better players, I will lay the bucket in this one.
John Ryan
Game: NC Greensbo at Davidson
Prediction: NC Greensbo
Reason: Ai Simulator 3* graded play on NC - Greensboro ? AiS shows a 73% probability that UNC Greensboro will lose this game by 13 or fewer points. Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone and incredible 28-7 ATS for 80% since 1997. Play on road dogs of 10 to 19.5 points off a blowout win by 20 points or more over a conference rival and is now facing an opponent off 2 straight wins against conference rivals. I also like the 1st half line too which is in the +8 area. Supporting this opportunity is a system that has hit 71% ATS with a 52-21 ATS mark since 1997. Play on road dogs of 6 or more points versus the first half line that is off a blowout win by 20 points or more over a conference rival and with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. Take Greensboro.
Tom Freese
Game: Northwestern at Iowa
Prediction: Northwestern
Reason: Iowa is 13-26 ATS off a straight up loss from a game where they were favored and they are 4-13 ATS at home after losing four of their last five games. The Hawkeyes are 2-8 ATS their last 10 home games vs. losing teams. Northwestern is 27-12 ATS their last 39 February games. The Wildcats are 11-4 ATS their last 15 road games and they are 10-6 ATS their last 16 meetings with the Hawkeyes. PLAY ON NORTHWESTERN +

The Big 12 giants have been getting the best of Baylor and I don't see its misfortune turning around tonight. Baylor has lost 5 of its last 6 games SU and ATS and will be matched up against a team tonight which started Baylor's slide by beating them by 6 points in Waco. Oklahoma has won back-to-back games SU and ATS. Oklahoma is a perfect 21-0 ATS versus Baylor since 1997 and is 16-4-1 ATS in those games. Oklahoma is a perfect 4-0-1 ATS versus Baylor the past 3 seasons and 8-2 ATS at home versus Baylor since 1997. The Sooners have already taken it to the Bears once this season and they'll do it again tonight. Lay the points.

A bit shocked? Well, anytime that I have an opportunity to go against the public who is 80% on Davidson, I'll gladly take it. I not only like the Spartans of Greensboro for that reason only, but keep in mind that when these 2 teams last played, the score was 83-78 and Davidson barely won. NC-Greensboro is a top 125 team. This team won at Georgia Tech in the first game of the season by a greater margin than even UNC - albeit beginning of the year - won at Fordham, NC-Wilmington and won at College of Charleston as well against a good Bobby Cremins team. Look, this is a conference game and NC Greensboro just beat their side of the Conference leader in Appalaichan State by 25 points at home, they haven't forgotten about this loss at home and will likely be fired up for this game. Don't be surprised to see a closer than expected ballgame here. The Road team has covered 5 of the last 6 meeting between these 2 teams.

INDIANA
Game: Purdue vs. Indiana
Prediction: Indiana Reason: I'm laying the points with INDIANA. Purdue has been a great story this season. The young Boilermakers will be playing back to back true road games for the first time all season tonight though and they'll be doing so at one of the toughest venues in the entire country. Note that the Boilermakers are 2-15 SU and 4-12-1 ATS the last 17 times they were listed as road underdogs in the +3.5 to +6 range. Everyone is really down on the Hoosiers due to the Kelvin Sampson scandal and due to the recent injury to D.J. White. However, I played on the Hoosiers in their last game and they didn't let the Sampson situation distract them, crushing a very good Michigan State team by a score of 80-61. That included a 39-28 advantage in the second half with White already out of the game. They've beaten Purdue seven straight times at Assembly Hall and I expect them to do so again tonight, with or without White. Look for the Hoosiers to improve to 10-0 SU on the season after scoring 80 or more points in their previous game, covering the reasonably small number along the way. *Big 10 GOW
FLORIDA STATE
Game: Clemson vs. Florida State
Prediction: Florida State Reason: I'm taking the points with FLORIDA STATE. Recent results have given us solid value with the home underdog here. The Seminoles, 45-35 ATS in the "revenge role" the past decade, will be highly motivated to snap their skid and also to avenge a 12 point loss suffered at Clemson in January. They've had success at home against the Tigers in the past and I expect a huge effort here. The Seminoles are 8-3 the last 11 times they were listed as the host team in this series. The three losses ALL came by just two points. Look for them to drop the Tigers to 0-5 ATS the last five times they played a game with an over/under line in the 145- 149.5 range.
BRADLEY
Game: Bradley vs. Drake
Prediction: Bradley Reason: I'm taking the points with BRADLEY. The Bulldogs will be playing their first game at the Knapp Center since clinching the program's first Missouri Valley Conference title in 37 years. That's a natural "letdown" situation and I expect them to struggle vs. a Bradley squad which game them all they could handle one month ago. That 1/16 meeting was decided by just a single point as Drake won 69-68. Including that cover, the Braves have gone a profitable 9-2 ATS their last 11 games. That includes an impressive 87-59 victory over Creighton on Saturday. Note that the Braves are 7-0 ATS when coming off a conference win this season and 23-8 ATS in that situation the past three seasons. During that time, they've gone 7-3 SU/ATS when attempting to avenge an earlier home loss. The last two series meetings here have both been decided by three points or less and the last three here have been decided by six points or less. Look for the Braves, 14-5-1 ATS their last 20 games in February, to give their hosts all they can handle once again, earning at least the cover.
WYOMING
Game: San Diego State vs. Wyoming
Prediction: Wyoming Reason: I'm taking the points with WYOMING. The Cowboys come in with plenty of motivation. They're fighting to gain ground in the Mountain West standings and they're also looking to avenge an ugly 27 point loss at San Diego State exactly one month ago. That puts them in a similar situation as they were in for last Wednesday's home game vs. TCU. The Cowboys also entered that game playing with revenge from a 27 point road loss suffered in January. The Pokes responded in fine form, crushing the Horned Frogs by a score of 72-54. That brought them to 4-2 the last six times they were attempting to avenge a road loss of 20 points or more, including 2-0 SU/ATS the past three seasons. Wyoming had one of its best defensive efforts of the season in the win over TCU, out-rebounding the Horned Frogs 44-29 and limiting them to 29.3 percent shooting from the field. The plus-15 rebounding margin tied the season high set Jan. 23 at UNLV. Wyoming guard Brandon Ewing was quoted in the local paper as saying: "Everybody's got to protect their home court. They did the same thing when we were down there..." I expect a similar mentality tonight. Including the win over the Horned Frogs, the Cowboys have now won three of their past four home games, losing only to league-leading BYU, 63-73, during that stretch. All three victories came by double-digits. Looking at the league in general and we find that over the previous eight years in the Mountain West, home teams have won 63 percent or more of the games in league competition. Thus far in 2007-08, home teams hold a 31-17 (.646 advantage in MWC play. The Cowboys are catching the Aztecs at the right time. San Diego State suspended junior Kyle Spain recently and has promptly gone 0-3 since doing so. Most recently, they blew an 11-0 lead vs. Utah, losing 72-66. That snapped a 94-game stretch in which the Aztecs hadn't lost three straight games. Clearly, they miss Spain, a solid defender who was second on the team in both scoring and rebounding. His replacement Kelvin Davis has struggled, to say the least. In fact, Davis has gone scoreless in the losses to TCU, New Mexico and Utah, missing all nine of his field-goal attempts. Wyoming has thrived in the role of small underdogs. In fact, the Cowboys are a profitable 9-1 ATS the last 10 times they were underdogs of four points or less, winning eight of those games outright. It should also be mentioned that the Cowboys have won three of the last four series meetings here and the lone loss came by a single point. They were +2.5 (or +3) underdogs against the Aztecs here last February and they won outright by a score of 70-61. I'm expecting them to score the "upset" again tonight. *Mountain West GOY
