Cleveland @ Denver 9:05 PM ET
Play On: Denver –4.0 (15*)
Simple mathematics lets us arrive at this selection. The Cavaliers are 1-28 SU & 6-23 ATS in their last 29-games as an away underdog. This season alone they are 0-8 SU & 1-7 ATS as an away underdog. This is the type of game the Cavaliers will sorely miss Larry Hughes as they will need all the firepower they could muster versus a Nuggets team that can light up the scoreboard at home. The SU statistic takes on more significance since Denver is laying a small number. The Nuggets are coming on as of late and the addition of Kenyon Martin off the injured list has been a huge boost. The Nuggets are 4-1 SU in the last 5 and 6-2 SU in the last 8. Play on Denver –4.0 as my Non-Conference Game Of The Month.
North Carolina St. @ Duke 7:00 PM ET
Play On: North Carolina St. +11.5 (10*)
Those of you that have followed me know how I feel about this type of a situation. The Wolfpack come off a non-cover as an 11.5-point favorite in their last game and now they are being installed as a 11.5-point underdog. That is a huge 23.0-point swing for a team coming off a non-cover. That adds up to a lot of value. Not too mention the fact that NC State is one of the better defensive teams in the country and enters the game with a solid 14-2 SU record and will be playing with double revenge from last season. Duke is due for a flat game and this looks like a good spot for one versus a very tough conference opponent that won’t be intimidated. Play on North Carolina St. +11.5.
St.Louis @ Richmond 7:30 PM ET
Play On: Richmond +1.0 (10*)
These two teams are virtually a mirror image of one another. Two very low scoring offenses and two teams that play terrific defense. I give the edge to the home team Spiders here and especially as a small dog or at a pick. The Billikens have really struggled offensively the last 5-games shooting just 36.5% from the field and averaging just 56.4 points per game. That does not bode well when facing a Richmond team that is holding opponents to 53.0 PPG and 38.2% shooting from the field. Not to mention the fact that St.Louis is just 1-5 SU and has been installed as a small favorite. Play on Richmond +1.0.
USC @ UCLA 10:30 PM ET
Play On: USC +6.5 (10*)
This is a USC team that got off to a slow start but has improved steadily as the season has progressed while entering the game with a very good 12-5 SU record. The lines-makers are holding their breath in this one as UCLA may have as many as their top 4 scorers out with injuries. They definitely will have two of them out while the other two are day to day. These are the only 4 players in the Bruins lineup that average in double figures. This is also a USC team that is a vastly under-rated defensive club. I would not be shocked to see an upset but we will take the points as an additional bonus. Play on USC +6.5.
These are Ross Benjamin premium plays.Don't know why I got em' but they were sent to me,so here you go.
