Game: Kentucky Wildcats @ Houston U Cougars - Tuesday December 18, 2007 9:00 pm
Detail: IC'S COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAY OF THE DAY!
Pick: 3 units (Play of the Day) ATS: Houston U Cougars -3.5 (-108)
#1 NBA Handicapper in America Basketball 2007: 58-29 (66%) 33-9 NBA Run (76%) & (24-7 NBA Run) NBA 2007: 46-21 (68%) 15-4 Run with NBA Totals Total of 3 plays today. Folks, Kentucky is not good. This team is even worse with Gillespie as the head. Kentucky fans so passionately wanted to get rid of Tubby, yet they sit with losses against Gardner Webb and a 4-4 record and after tonight, they are likely to be 4-5. Where's the hatred for Tubby now? After all, he did lead them to a National Title which many seem to forget. Regardless, the Wildcats will get better once Gillespie is able to recruit a bit more, but currently, this team lacks offensive prowess. This team is young, and they are still very inexperienced on the road losing by nearly 20 to Indiana and scoring just 51 points away from home. This is a huge deal for the University of Houston who currently sits at 9-1, granted, their competition is against poor squads, but nevertheless, still sit at 9-1 and they did play very well against VCU who is a top 75 team on neutral footing. I think Kentucky will struggle in yet another road game, their 2nd of the s eason, and after a few more underneath their belt, I expect this team to do much better when conference play rolls around. I have Houston winning this ballgame by 8. Kentucky is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road ballgames and Houston is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 contests against the SEC.

Game: College of Charleston Cougars @ Florida State Seminoles - Tuesday December 18, 2007 7:00 pm
Pick: 3 units (Normal) ATS: Florida State Seminoles -17 (-110)
#1 NBA Handicapper in America Basketball 2007: 58-29 (66%) NBA 2007: 46-21 (68%) 33-9 NBA Run (76%) & (24-7 NBA Run) 15-4 Run with NBA Totals Total of 3 plays today. The bottom line in this game is that I beleive FSU is one of the better teams in College Basketball, and frankly, I feel that this team should be ranked in the top 25. This team will do whatever it takes to get that ranking and what better way to do that than beat up on Bobby C's team in the College of Charleston. Folks, C of C is ranked outside the top 200 in my power rankings and they play a Seminole team that has already beat Florida at Florida, is a top 30 ranked team that defeated Minnesota by 14 points and the Gophers led by Tubby Smith are a top 75 team and now C of C is supposed to hang in below 20 on the road? I think not. I will take my chances here with the Seminoles as I have them winning this game by 24 and considering that College of Charleston is expected to do some damage within their own conference, that will lead to a higher point rating for FSU if they can blow this team out. This is exactly why Duke blows out Wisconsin and the o ther better teams at home because after defeating them, than they can root for them as they will increase their respective power rankings and poll numbers. Charleston is 1-7-1 ATS when facing a team with a winning percentage of greater than 60% and the Seminoles are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games.

Game: Los Angeles Lakers @ Chicago Bulls - Tuesday December 18, 2007 8:30 pm
Pick: 3 units (Normal) TOTAL: Over 202 (-109)
There is a lot of elements working in this game. Keep in mind the Bulls have revenge from having gotten destroyed on the road as bluntly stated, the Bulls are a bad road team and the fact that the Lakers were upset that Kobe would accept a trade to Chicago believing he can play with a better supporting cast their. Kobe will want to show up in front of the Chicago fans as the rumor mill still is working that the Bulls might make an offer for Kobe. The Bulls on top of that would love to get revenge against the Lakers and sit at 8 wins not too far behind from making a move as if they are to make a move this season - it is now before they get even further behind. The Bulls have won their last 4 of 6 after a horrible start and that is in large pa rt due to a better offeense. I love the fact that 65% of the public is on the Lakers because that favors the over as I think the Bulls will be very competitive tonight and this is why the line has not shifted too much. It reminds me of the Bulls vs. Pistons earlier this season in Chicago when the Bulls ended up winning while the public hounded Detroit. The bottom line here is that the Bulls are good at home against the better teams in the league and the Lakers are Good in scoring points both at home and on the road due to their lack of defense having topped a 100 in essentially 8 of their last 10 games. There are many, many trends that favor the under including that the under is 8-0 between these 2 teams, however, the 2 trends that I believe are important are the fact that the over is 4-1 of late in Chicago home games as they are playing better on offense and the over is 9-3 for the Bulls against the Western Conference as they play with revenge tonight.
