ATS: Saint Louis Billikens -10.5 (-110)
WIN for +3.64 unit(s)

St Bonaventure Bonnies at Saint Louis Billikens

4* NCAAB Blowout on St. Louis -10.5
After a big win at Xavier last Wednesday, St. Louis endured a letdown Saturday at UMass and was handed a 72-59 defeat. Motivated by that loss, and back home where they have been nearly unstoppable, expect the Billikens to take care of business tonight.

St. Louis is 10-1 at home this season (6-1 ATS in home lined games) where it is winning by an average of 20.6 points. And, the Billikens will draw further motivation from St. Bonaventure being ahead of them in the standings and the Bonnies winning the most recent meeting last February.

The fact St. Bonaventure has a losing road record is significant because the Billikens are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. St. Louis is the more talented team, and I won't hesitate to lay the points in this extremely motivated spot.

5* Final Four *BEST BET* on Ohio State -2.5 The Buckeyes lost to Kansas in Lawrence by 11 points back in December, but Jared Sullinger didn't play in that contest. On a neutral floor and with Sullinger in the lineup, I fully expect the Buckeyes to have their revenge. Consider ... read more

Stanford Cardinal @ Minnesota Golden Gophers Thursday March 29, 2012 7:00 pm
Tuesday, the Golden Gophers defeated Pac-12 regular season champion Washington. Tonight, I have them taking down the team that finished 7th in the Pac-12. Keep in mind that Stanford played Washington this season and was defeated by 13 points. Also, Minnesota defeated USC (the other ... read more

Massachusettes Minutemen @ Stanford Cardinal Tuesday March 27, 2012 7:00 pm
4* NIT SMASH on Massachusetts +2.5 UMass is being undervalued here. The Minutemen have been underdogs in 5 straight games and are 4-1 in those contests with the only defeat being a half-point ATS loss to St. Bonaventure. They have upset wins on the road over Mississippi State, ... read more

4* Elite 8 SMASH on Baylor +8 Baylor has been a tremendous investment in the underdog role under coach Drew at 70-51 ATS. Look for the Baylor Bears to keep this one within the number Sunday. The value clearly lies with Baylor here as it enters off a hard-fought win over Xavier ... read more

3* Elite 8 SMASH on Syracuse +2.5 The value clearly lies with Syracuse here. The Orange barely escaped Wisconsin while the Buckeyes won rather easily against Cincinnati. Naturally, the public is jumping on the Buckeyes following that performance. We won't do the same. First of ... read more

Florida Gators @ Louisville Cardinals Saturday March 24, 2012 4:30 pm
4* Elite 8 *BEST BET* on Florida -1 One thing you don't want to make a habit of is going against the Gators when odds makers anticipate a close game. That's because they are 9-2 ATS when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 2 seasons, winning these contests by an average score of ... read more

North Carolina State Wolfpack @ Kansas Jayhawks Friday March 23, 2012 10:17 pm
5* NCAA Tournament Game of the Year on Kansas -8.5 Odds makers clearly want the money on NC State by installing the red-hot Wolfpack as nearly a double-digit dog. We won't take the bait. Kansas is the more talented team, and it will be very focused here after getting a scare by ... read more

4* Sweet 16 SMASH (TBS) on Ohio +10.5 UNC is likely Kendall Marshall, and he won't be himself even if he does try to play. Without Marshall, the Tar Heels find themselves at a disadvantage against an Ohio squad that is forcing more than 17 turnovers a game and ranks fourth in the ... read more
