30 DIMER - WISCONSIN BADGERS.....10 DIMERS - DETROIT PISTONS, MARQUETTE, & KANSAS STATE
30 DIMER - WISCONSIN BADGERS
Can't believe how little respect they are giving Wisconsin in this spot, as they are clearly the superior team, and yet this line is so low!
I will take the Badgers to add to Illinois' season of misery tonight in Champaign. The Illini have dropped 6 of their last 8 games, and are just 3-5 against the spread in that span. Illinois is also on an 0-3 series run against Wisconsin, with their lone series cover coming by a half-point earlier this season in Madison.
The Badgers have been a wrecking ball on the road this year where they have covered in 6 of their 9 lined games, while the Illini are just 3-8-1 against the spread at home thus far this year.
I just don't see Illinois having enough to contend for the full 40-minutes tonight, even at home!
Take the Badgers.
10 DIMER - MARQUETTE GOLDEN EAGLES
On the surface this looks like a lot of points to be laying, but is it really? St. John's after a 3-game winning streak has had their doors blown off the last 2 times on court, and #3 is all lined up and ready to cash this evening as Marquette comes in off their huge romp over Pitt on Friday night.
The Eagles have won their last pair of games, and 5 of their last 7 as well, while covering in 3 straight, and 4 of 5. They have also handled the Johnnie's in ALL 3 series meetings since 2003 both straight up, and against the spread.
Tom Crean's team is looking to improve their stock in the Big Dance, and tonight is one of those games you need to flex your muscles and take care of business. Take care of business they do!
Go with Marquette.
10 DIMER - KANSAS STATE WILDCATS
The Wildcats are a very young team, and consistency has been an issue for them this campaign, but it looks like K-State should have no problem tonight in Lincoln as they face a Nebraska team that doesn't have the firepower to stay with the Wildcats for the full session.
The Huskers come into this one having dropped their last pair, and 3 of 4, and they have failed in 8 of their last 10 games against the spread! Included is a 74-59 loss at Manhattan at the start of this month, that drops Nebraska to just 3-6 both straight up, and against the spread in the last 9 series meetings.
Kansas State comes into this one on an 8-2 straight up, and spread run (including that win and cover over Nebraska in early February), and at 18-6 for the season, this is a game they must control from the get-go if they wish to be considered as a serious "contender" come March Madness.
I am laying the points!
10 DIMER - DETROIT PISTONS
It didn't take long for Detroit's 10-game winning streak to go "poof", as Orlando routed them at the Auburn Palace last night. The G-Man expects the Pistons to come out strong tonight, as Milwaukee enjoyed last night off for an extended All Star break, and could be caught as flat as the Pistons were caught last night!
The Bucks are only 1-7 straight up their last 8, and have dropped their last 4, while failing the posted price in their last pair. Milwaukee is also 0 for 5 their last 5 meetings with the Pistons, including 0-2 this year while failing the last 3 against the number.
After getting humbled by nearly 20-points at home last night, expect the Pistons to tigthen the screws tonight, and dump the Bucks.
