No surprise as there are several games I like for Monday:

Best bet:

Tennessee Tech laying 3 over Tenn. Martin. . . Releasedahounds provides a great writeup for this matchup. Tech the much better schedule coming in to this one. . . funny stat as they have won only one game out of eight on the road while Martin has won every single game they have played at home yet Tech is the favorite? I expect the domination to continue for Tech and we should be ok laying 3.

Miami +3 over UConn. . . Personally, I think UConn is overrated. Sure they made a comeback against Carolina, but just how good are the Tarheels? While we're on the subject, I think Arizona is overrated at #1 as well but at least they handed UCLA their worst loss EVER at home! Anyways, Huskies have only played three on the road so far losing to North Carolina, Oklahoma and beating Vandy. Miami is extremely tough at home beating North Carolina and losing to Florida by a single point. No need for extra motivation as Miami lost to UConn in OT a few days ago. First time that UConn is playing back to back road games, lets see how they handle this one. Personally, I think they struggle and I love this spot to bet against the Huskies. . . would like it even more if UConn was able to beat the Tar Heels, but still like it just the same.

OU laying 8.5 over Texas Tech. . .Another solid home team here and I don't think Tech is ready to face this defense. If on their own rims, I'd give Tech a chance with their perimeter shooting, but not in the Sooner's house.

More to come. . . will ride Miami Ohio with Steel over Akron and still looking into UNLV, Rutgers, and maybe Wyoming.

Nickel - I agree with everything you have wirtten about the Miami - Uconn game. Miami should win this one straight up. However, there in lies the problem. Uconn has struggled on the road, Miami almost beat Uconn at Uconn, Miami has been great at home and still they are getting 3 1/2 points tonight. On top of that, everywhere I read Miami is a huge pick as it should be. Big public play. That is why I am on Uconn tonight.

Just a gut play.

Lol. . . Big public play??? Not sure where you get that from considering that everywhere I look, 70% of the consensus is on UConn! Remember that not every capper posts their picks in forums like these!
