FERRINGO full card

2-Unit Play. Take South Carolina (-2) over Kentucky (7 p.m., Wednesday, March 5)
This is the same basic idea as the Seton Hall bet. Kentucky played out of its mind in the second half of their game over the weekend at Tennessee. Now they?re on the road against a less talented team, but one that is playing its final home game and wants to send venerable coach Dave Odom out with a W. This is going to be a tough one to get up for if you?re UK so we?re going to fade away and look for a big USC win.

1.5-Unit Play. Take #734 Seton Hall (+3) over Syracuse (7 p.m., Wednesday, March 5)
I have been watching Syracuse basketball games since I was 8 years old and I don?t know if I?ve ever witnessed a more crushing loss by the Orangemen than the one they endured over the weekend at home against Pitt. Now they have to travel to Jersey (a place where no SU team has ever really performed well) and take on a Seton Hall team that, while not very talented, is scrappy and has some offensive performers that can break down the SU zone. Syracuse has shown that they can get blown out on the road against an inferior foe (see: at South Florida) and I think if SU has a hangover from the Pitt game they could get waxed here as well.

THESE ARE THE ADDED PLAYS - ADDED AT 2:30 P.M. EST

3-Unit Play. Take #736 Richmond (-3) over Fordham (7 p.m., Wednesday, March 5)
Fordham is shaky and for some reason the oddsmakers love them. I'll be all over Fordham for their last home game, but Richmond has very quietly been one of the best stories of the A-10. They've been playing very well and, although they don't handle the favorite role well, could roll the Rams tonight in their final home game. It's an awkward travel day for Fordham and

3-Unit Play. Take #773 East Carolina (+1.5) over Rice (8:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 5)
So, why doesn?t this game fall into the same category as SU and Kentucky? Well, because Rice stinks and they have no homecourt advantage. They are in football country, so no one cares about them anyway, but the off-site facility where they play gives them virtually no home-court edge. ECU is coming off a huge win over Houston and could have a letdown, but they beat Rice by 19 in the first meeting. Their road numbers for the year are also very skewed because they?ve played in the six toughest venues in the conference. I think they win outright and give us the cash.

2.5-Unit Play. Take #764 Auburn (-3) over Georgia (8 p.m., Wednesday, March 5)
Georgia is a dead stick. They have dropped five straight overall and six of seven since Billy Humphrey was booted off the team. Auburn is inconsistent as any SEC club but they shoot much better and play with much more defensive confidence at home. UGA has nothing to play for, so as the crowd builds the momentum for the home team on Senior Night I can see the Dawgs rolling over. UGA has loss all of its conference road games, and dumped each one by six points or more. Also, even if you throw out the bloodletting at Tennessee they are losing SEC road games by an average of 8.7 points per game.

2-Unit Play. Take #780 Baylor (-1.5) over Texas A&M (9 p.m., Wednesday, March 5)
Baylor is solid at home, A&M is awful on the road, and the Bears already beat A&M in College Station this year. Baylor is streaky. But I think that TAM?s guards will be totally overmatched in this one. Baylor?s bigs also put up better numbers at home. And while A&M should hold a rebounding edge, I don?t think it will make up for my projected free throw and 3-point shooting disparity. Look for late free throws to ice this one and a nice 7-point win for the Bears on Senior Night.

2-Unit Play. Take #748 Vanderbilt (-4) over Mississippi State (8 p.m., Wednesday, March 5)
Mississippi State may be the SEC team not named Tennessee that is best equipped for a serious NCAA Tournament run. However, you gotta respect what Vanderbilt is capable of at home and this number is a little short. It should be MSU around +6.5 so we have some decent value. Heck, even at 6.5 Vandy would be awful tempting. But we?re going to lay the short number and look for another solid performance out of the SEC?s best home team.

2-Unit Play. Take #749 Central Florida (+7.5) over Houston (8 p.m., Wednesday, March 5)
I think UCF matches up very, very well with Houston, as evidenced by their close loss at home to the Cougars earlier this year. Both teams run three-guard offenses and I think this number is a little thick on a pair of teams that can put points on the board in a hurry. Over the last two seasons these teams have played three times and all three have been decided by three points. Let?s hope that the 3?s are falling for UCF tonight as I think they sneak under this number in a close loss.

2-Unit Play. Take Tennessee (-2.5) over Florida (9 p.m., Wednesday, March 5)
Tennessee got their scare at home against Kentucky after losing at Vanderbilt. But Florida is completely overrated. They had a nice run in the middle of the season but I think their time is up and their freshmen are hitting The Wall. Florida got smoked at UT (giving up over 100 points) and they want to run-and-gun. Well, that plays right into Tennessee?s hands. I expect Florida to come out smoking and build some kind of double-digit lead in the first half. But then the Vols are going to snap out of it and go on something like a 28-12 run and put this one away. Just too much firepower.

That's it for tonight. Good luck.

3 Best Bets.

Houston (NBA) (-10) 3-Stars at -10 or less, 2-Stars up to -11.
UL Lafayette (-9 1/2) 2-Stars at -10 or less.
Mid Tenn St (-9) 2-Stars at -10 or less.

3 Star Selection
***HOUSTON (-10) over Indiana
05:35 PM Pacific - Rotation 718
Houston has won 15 consecutive games while covering in each of their last 7 contests and the Rockets certainly haven?t missed Yao Ming, which is suspected that they wouldn?t. The Rockets have actually out- scored their opponents at a higher rate per 48 minutes with Ming on the bench this season than when he?s been on the floor and Houston has won and covered easily in all 3 games since Yao was lost for the season. Tonight the Rockets should continue their spread win streak against a Pacers squad that applies to a negative 26-81-1 ATS big road underdog letdown situation following their wins over Toronto (without Bosh) and over Milwaukee. Indiana is just 2-5 ATS this season after consecutive wins (1-4 ATS if they also covered in both games) and my ratings favor Houston by 10.8 points ? so the line is more than fair. I?ll take Houston in a 3-Star Best Bet at -10 or less and for 2-Stars at -10 ? or -11 points.

2 Star Selection
**UL LAFAYETTE (-9 ?) over Troy State
06:00 PM Pacific - Rotation 788
UL Lafayette was 12-6 ATS in conference play while Troy was just 6- 12 ATS in Sun Belt action, including a 66-87 home loss to Lafayette in the only previous meeting between these two teams. What?s interesting about that game is that Lafayette only made 7 of their 25 3-point attempts (28%) while Troy knocked down 9 of 22 3-pointers (41%). Normally when you see a game that is so far away from the expected it is because of a huge variance in the normal 3-point shooting of the teams. For Lafayette to beat Troy by 21 points despite poor 3-point shooting is an indication that the Ragin Cajuns match up well against Troy. Tonight the Cajuns apply to a 15-0 ATS subset of a 55-25-2 ATS conference tournament situation and I don?t mind going against a Troy team that is only 8-17 ATS in conference road games (2-7 ATS this season) and 5-16 ATS in all road games after a loss (1-7 ATS this season). ULL has had some trouble extending margins this season, but Troy?s fast pace will make it easier for the Ragin Cajuns to win by double-digits and I expect Lafayette to dominate in the paint again (ULL made 65% of their 2- pointers in the first meeting while Troy made only 32% of their 2- point shots while also being out-rebounded by the Cajuns 31-43). My ratings favor ULL by 10 points, so the line is fair, and I?ll take UL Lafayette in a 2-Star Best Bet at -10 points or less.

2 Star Selection
**MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE (-9) over UL Monroe
05:30 PM Pacific - Rotation 794
Middle Tennessee lost at Monroe 69-82 in the only previous meeting between these teams, but the Blue Raiders apply to a solid 73-33-2 ATS conference tournament revenge situation tonight in addition to a 34-7 ATS round 1 angle. The line on this game has come down from an opening line of 11 ? points to 9 points and 9 points is what I get if I use all games for the entire season for both teams. However, the oddsmakers were clearly giving the Raiders credit for playing better in conference play and I would favor MTS by 14 points if I used only conference games for each team. Middle Tennessee should get credit for playing better in conference because they always play better in conference under coach Kermit Davis. The Blue Raiders are only 22-26-2 ATS in non-conference games under Davis, but they are 61-40-2 ATS in conference play, including 7-4 ATS in the conference tournament (12-5-1 ATS in conference this season). UL Monroe, meanwhile, played worse in conference play and the Warhawks are only 12-21 ATS as an underdog under coach Orlando Early. I?ll take Middle Tennessee State in a 2-Star Best Bet at -10 points or less.

Wednesday NBA Opinion
Minnesota (+14 ?) over UTAH
Utah is 19-9-1 ATS at home this season, but the Jazz are only 2-4 ATS laying 12 points or more, so they have a tendency to letdown at home against bad teams. Minnesota is a bad team, but the Timberwolves have taken advantage of good teams being less than focused against them, as they are 6-2 ATS as a road underdog of 12 points or more. Utah has a game with Phoenix coming up on Friday that they could be looking ahead to and the Jazz actually apply to a negative 195-289-9 ATS big home favorite look-ahead situation tonight. That angle isn?t strong enough to make this game a Best Bet, but I?ll lean with Minnesota at +14 points or more.

Wednesday College Opinion
BAYLOR (-1 ?) over Texas A&M
Texas A&M is just 3-5 straight up and 3-5 ATS on the road and their 3 road wins have all come against mediocre teams (Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Missouri). The Aggies have been whipped on the road by the 4 teams they?ve visited that have legitimate NCAA Tournament hopes, losing by 11 points at Arizona, by 21 points at Kansas State, by 27 points at Texas, and by 27 points at Oklahoma. A&M also lost by 15 points at Texas Tech, so all of their road losses have been by double-digit margins. Baylor is ahead of Texas A&M in the Big 12 standings and the Bears won at College Station in a thrilling 116-110 five overtime game ? so they can certainly beat the Aggies at home. My ratings favor Baylor by 5 points in this game but the line is only 2 points because that is the number that you get if you use all games for both teams at equal weight. However, A&M built up their rating by destroying bad teams at home early in the season and I would get a fair line of Baylor by 5 points if I only use games for each team against opponents that were minimum Big 12 quality or better and by 7 points if I only use conference games only. I?ll lean with Baylor at -2 points or less.

As I said on Monday, I have been tracking this guy for almost 1 month and he is pretty sharp. He had Weber State on Monday night pushing his record to 11-3 since mid Feburary.
He doesn't post every night . He comes out of New Jersey.

Tonight he is on Richmond -3.

Giacomo...I know you wanted to track him also.

Good luck.
