(CBB) Penn +1 over Yale

The Quakers have really benefitted from playing an ultra-tough non-conference schedule early on. Penn is a perfect 3-0 in the Ivy and 8-1 vs teams ranked from 150 to 339. The Quakes are also rocking a 5-1 ATS run on the road.
Nothing bad to about Yale who is 13-5 for the year, 3-1 in the Ivy, but … the Bulldogs are 0-3 vs the points at home, 1-3 ATS vs winning records and just 1-3 SU and ATS in the L4 in the series. Wrong team favored here. Penn straight up.

(CBB) Princeton -7.5 over Brown

It’s been a long strange road trip for the Princeton Tigers who play their 11th straight win against DI opposition. The grind could be getting to the Tigers who were crushed at Penn in their last. That said, this is a team that is 27-12 ATS on the road the last three years, 21-12 ATS vs losing records, and 6-0 against the points after their L6 Ivy straight up losses. The Bears are just 7-14 overall, 3-10 L13 with wins over Central Connecticut, Bryant, and Dartmouth. Princeton gets back on track here.

(NBA) Minnesota at New Jersey Over 196

The Wolves and Nets both play their 4th game in six nights so the fatigue factor is a push. Minnesota has covered seven of their L9 roadies, the Nets 5-4 in their L9 but not interested in either side. A decent case can be made for the total however as eight of the L9 Wolves games have flown over, the high is 11-4 in the Nets L15. These are two of the weaker defensive teams in the league allowing 95.5 and 98.8 ppg respectively and all it should take is average shooting nights by both teams to send this one over.

NHL) St Louis -148 over LA Kings

Other than Detroit (20-2-1, 18 straight wins), the St Louis Blues (21-3-4) have the strongest home ice in the league. The Blues are 7-3 the L10 in the series and a perfect 3-0 this year with 3+ days of rest. The Kings have played themselves back into the playoff picture but are grinding along at 50-50 the last month and they still have work to do. The Kings have won both prior meetings this year but the Blues are well rested and situationally in a good spot to get a win here. Take the Blues.

Around the horn with Wednesday’s sports action

Just 72 hours to Super Bowl XLVI. The line has been holding steady with the Patriots as 3-point favorites with slight variations in the money around Las Vegas and offshore. The total has settled at 54 after opening at 55 or 55 1/2. The majority of tickets sold have been on the Giants and the larger bets and sharp money has gone on the Patriots. It’s doubtful that Vegas or offshore will come off the FG but it’s possible so make sure you have suffiicient outs to shop.

Wednesday was National Football Signing Day where top high school recruits committed to where they will play football in the fall.

Other notables were LSU at #13, Notre Dame at #17, and Oregon at #19.

(CBB) Duke -4 over Virginia Tech

The Blue Devils haven’t done bettors any favors at 8-13 overall but the Dukies are in a pretty good spot to get the money here vs the Hokies. The road team is 5-1 in Duke conference games with the Devils 3-0, all three wins by 7+ points. The Hokies are just 2-5 ATS at home, 1-5 ATS in ACC play, and 4-9 ATS against winning records. Add to the mix that this is a true revenge game here by virtue of V Techs 64-60 win here last year and that ACC home dogs of less than five points are 3-7 and you have decent case for the intruders. Take Duke.

(CBB) Denver Pick over UL Lafayette

The Pioneers have lost six straight visits here and are a miserable 7-26 ATS on the road over the L3 years. Why back them here ??? The Cajuns 4-1 straight up in their L5 and 3-1 in Sunbelt homies but are just 1-6 ATS in their L7 and shooting poorly in their L3. This is a key game for Denver as their final tuneup before their home showdown with Middle Tennessee State on Saturday. If there was ever a time for the Pioneers to amp up on the road it’s here and all we need to do is win straight to. Denver 64-57.

(CBB) Nevada -8 over Utah State

Stew Morrill is one of the best coaches in college basketball and he must be dying a slow agonizing death in side with his young 12-10 Aggie outfit. This is a team that won 30-27-30 games over the past three years but struggling mightily this year. The Aggies have lost four of five road games including a 20-point beat down at New Mexico State. Nevada is 7-0 in the WAC, 5-2 ATS, 2-1 as a HF with wins of 13 and 24 points. Nevada won at USU 78-71 (+4.5) earlier and there is no reason think they should be on upset alert here. Take the Wolf Pack.

(NBA) LA Clippers -2 over the Denver Nuggets

The Clippers, with Chris Paul, are arguably the best team in the NBA. They have it all with youth, depth, athleticism, and money shooters. The Clips have won four straight since losing to the Lakers including wins over these same Nuggets, a blowout of OKC on this floor, and winning last night at Utah for the first time in forever. Denver has lost two straight after six straight wins and are just 1-7 ATS in the last eight in the series including 0-3 SU and ATS on this floor. No reason to get in front of the Blake Griffins here.
