Featured Play: Villanova -6.5 (5x)Nova (4-0) and UCLA (3-0) will face off tonight at Madison Square Garden with the Wildcats favored by 6.5. The Wildcats have won by an average margin of 28.5 points. Four of the five Nova starters are averaging in double digits led by senior guard, Corey Stokes. Due to the weak non-conference schedule, the Wildcats are going to want to make the most of this matchup against one of the better Pac-10 teams thus far in the season in UCLA. If Villanova can get off to a quick start, we are confident they can cover easily.
Other Plays:
We like Illinois-Chicago over Central Michigan. Although this is not the most exciting of games to bet on, we do like Illinois-Chicago to cover the spread against a Central Michigan team who is 0-2 on the road this year. The Flames are coming off 3 days rest after a big win against a URI and will be looking to improve to 4-2. Roll with the Flames.
Cleveland State is our final college play for the night. The Vikings (5-0) travel south to Akron to face the Zips (2-1) for an in state matchup. Cleveland State has proved to be one of the Horizon League's Premier teams in the past few years. They are 4-1 ATS so far this year and are clearly the superior team in this game. Senior guard, Norris Cole and the Vikings take care of business here and cover.
Our NBA play is Fundamental Duncan and the Spurs. San Antonio is 9-3-1 ATS and have won 10 straight against the Timberwolves dating back to January of 2008. The Spurs are averaging 107.6 points a game and are shooting a league best 44.4% from beyond the arc. We believe they will continue their dominance and have no trouble covering against the Ricky Rubio-less Timberwolves. Get sum.
