Michigan State Spartans at Michigan Wolverines [ESPN | 7:00 PM ET]

Spartans (-4, O/U 131): All thing are fine in East Lansing, as the Spartans are ranked 6th in the country at 17-3 SU. More importantly, the Spartans have tied their best league start in school history at 7-0 SU. The Spartans are 5-3 SU and 4-4 ATS away from home this season. While the Spartans are 17-3 SU, they are only 8-11 ATS this season. The Spartans are 3-1 ATS as a single digit favorite this season. In true road contests, the Spartans are 2-1 ATS as the listed favorite this season. Michigan St. averages more than 77 PPG, thanks to 5 players averaging double digits in PTS. G Kalin Lucas leads the Spartans with 15.8 PPG and 4.1 APG this season. Forwards Raymar Morgan and Draymond Green combine to average nearly 22 PPG, with both players shooting better than 56% from the field.

Spartans are 4-1 ATS last 5 games vs. a team with a winning SU record.
Under is 5-0 last 5 games following an ATS win.

Key Injuries - None.

PROJECTED SCORE: 63 (UNDER - Total of the Day)

Wolverines: Michigan has lost 3 of their past 5 games SU to stand at 10-9 SU on the season. Watching this team play, it's hard to see how this team was ranked #15 in the nation in preseason polls. Michigan has fared well at home, where they are 8-2 SU and 3-3 ATS this season. Michigan has relished the underdog role this season, as they are 5-0 ATS as the listed underdog this season. Today marks only the 2nd time this season the Wolverines will be a home underdog. Michigan is struggling to score currently, as they only totaled 97 PTS in their past 2 games combined. Part of the Wolverines problem is they only have 2 double digit scorers, both G Manny Harris and F Deshawn Sims. The duo combine for nearly 37 PPG, more than half of the Wolverines total PPG this season. Defensively, the Wolverines have only allowed 4 of their 19 opponents to score 70 PTS or more against them.

Wolverines are 5-1 ATS last 6 vs. Big Ten.
Under is 6-0 last 6 overall.

Key Injuries - G Manny Harris (suspension) is probable.
C Ben Cronin (hip) is out.

PROJECTED SCORE: 62



Kentucky Wildcats at South Carolina Gamecocks [ESPN | 9:00 PM ET]

Wildcats (-6, O/U 148.5): Kentucky is the last undefeated team left in College basketball at 19-0 SU. The unanimous #1 team in the country has had some recent scares however, as 3 of their past 5 wins have come by single digits. Kentucky is 6-0 SU and 4-2 ATS away from home this season. Kentucky is 3-1 ATS as a single digit favorite so far this season. The Wildcats are winning with defense just as much as their offense. The Wildcats have held 13 of their 19 opponents to less that 40% shooting this season. Kentucky will have plenty to play for tonight, as they lost both games SU to South Carolina last season. Freshman sensation G John Wall might be the best player in all of college basketball. Wall leads the Wildcats with 17 PPG and nearly 7 APG this season. Forwards Patrick Patterson and DeMarcus Cousins combine to average more than 31 PPG, with both shooting better than 55% from the field.

Wildcats are 4-1 ATS last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
Over is 13-3 last 16 vs. a team with a winning SU record.

Key Injuries - None.

PROJECTED SCORE: 82 (Side of the Day)

Gamecocks: South Carolina has lost 3 straight games SU to stand at 11-8 SU on the season. Of their 11 wins this season, 8 of them have come at home. The Gamecocks are 8-2 SU and 4-3 ATS at home this season. South Carolina is 2-3 ATS as the listed favorite this season. Today marks the 1st time this season that the Gamecocks will be the listed home underdog. The Gamecocks have scored at least 74 PTS in 9 of their 10 home games. G Devan Downey leads South Carolina in scoring at nearly 22 PPG this season, and has averaged 31.6 PPG during league play. Downey also leads the team with 3.6 APG, and he also makes more than two 3 pointers per game to round out his diverse game. Downey needs his teammates to step their game up if they are ultimately going to be successful, as they only shoot 40% from the field. The Gamecocks also need to improve their rebounding efforts, as they are being outrebounded by nearly 4 RPG during conference play.

Gamecocks are 0-5 ATS last 5 games following an ATS win.
Under is 7-1 last 8 games following a SU loss.

Key Injuries - F Dominique Archie (knee) is out.
F Mike Holmes (eye) is out

PROJECTED SCORE: 67

Len’s Top Five

Tuesday, January 26

Happy Tuesday everyone, here's my Top 5 for January 26, 2010 from Len Berman's That's Sports.

1. Quick Hits

* Brett Favre says his return is "highly unlikely." Which means he doesn't have a clue.
* Andy Roddick loses to Marin Cilic in the 5th set of his quarterfinal match at the Australian Open. Rafael Nadal withdrew from his match with a knee injury against Andy Murray.
* Is every bounce going New Orleans' way? Chris Paul hit a jumper with 3.8 seconds left to give the Hornets a 98-97 win in Portland.
* The Mets have begun a mini-camp in Port St. Lucie. And nobody got hurt! Yet.


2. The OT Debate Goes OT

I'm surprised how many of you disagree with my take on NFL overtime. I think it would be a travesty if somebody wins the toss in overtime at the Super Bowl, kicks a cheap field goal and wins the championship. Many of you like the rule as it stands. Your reasoning: There are 3 aspects to football, offense, defense and special teams. It's not all about the offense. So taking your logic, in baseball, the first team to score in extra innings wins. They not only have defense in baseball, but it's the only sport when you're of offense the other team has the ball! So make it sudden death.
Hardly.


3. Black and White

Last week a former wrestling promoter said he was going to start an all-white basketball league. And the guy, Don "Moose" Lewis claims there is nothing racist about it. He just feels that whites need an opportunity to compete in basketball. He's calling it the "All-American Basketball Alliance."
Otherwise known as the Klan.


4. Down Undies

The hottest issue at the Australian Open is whether or not Venus Williams was wearing underwear. Turns out she was, but it was flesh colored so from a distance it disappeared. You can imagine the frenzy it created. She said she designed it herself. I take that to mean she's proud of her effort.


5. Been There Done That

It turns out the fan in Tennessee who wants to name a sewage treatment center after departed coach Lane Kiffin, wasn't original. Bob T. pointed out in the comments section on ThatsSports.com that San Francisco voters actually went to the polls in 2008 to decide if their city's sewage facility should be named "in honor" of departing President George Bush. The measure failed 70-30. The spokesman for the proposition named Peaches, is described as a "basketball player-sized drag queen." She said she had a speech all set but when the proposition failed, she chucked it, but planned on partying anyway. That's the spirit.


Happy Birthday: The Great One, Wayne Gretzky. 49.
Bonus Birthday: Ellen DeGeneres. 52.

Today in Sports: The Super Bowl Shuffle. The Chicago bears annihilate the Patriots in Super Bowl XX, 46-10. 1986.
Bonus Event: Ben Franklin is annoyed that the Bald Eagle is chosen as America's symbol. He wanted the Turkey. 1784.
