Presidents day at NCAA Basketball. At the Western Athletic Nevada Wolf Packs are sitting on top looking to feed on Idaho Vandals at Cowan Spectrum in Moscow, Idaho. The Packs are a powerhouse to be reckoned with Forward Nick Fazekas driving this team, also the main focus of their opponents. Vandals will have to be perfect in order to even be in the game. The visiting Wolf Pack opened as 17.5 point favorites and this line stands at 14.5 at my writing. Looks like some books have adjusted to 14 points. Totals opened at 132 moved downwards and now at 133.5. In line with the Cappers, coach Mark Fox is worried of Wolf Packs letdown and he has been showing his team video clips of Vandals taking care of business against Fresno, in their rare win at home. The Packs are aware and they will take command and rebounding seems to be the focus of the day. NEVADA -14.5 -110 NEV/IDA UNDER 133.5 -110

I'm back on CBB. Saturday morning hoops with De Paul at St Johns. May not be the game to watch, but I like "under the radar" games. The match up on ATS is a tough one. De Paul is burning backers money in recent games, conference record is ugly 2-9. St Johns slightly better 4-8, but 6-13 ATS giving -5 points? That is a hell of a lot to give and money is moving towards De Paul. What I do see, in simple terms, is the Total set too low in the 1st Half. DEPAUL/STJOHNS 1st Half Over 54 -122 for 2 units

This is my pick on NCAA Basketball. I was considering a blog on CBB, but I'm not picking enough games to have it's own blog. So, I will place them here. Pennsylvania at Columbia. Ivy League version of the top dog playing the bottom dweller. Simply in sportsline basics you consider the dog. The dog is at home. Has the dog shown any signs? 1st half lead against Brown and contested game against Yale. Can Columbia Lions win this match-up? Not a chance. How about with 14.5 points? Maybe, If Penn underestimates this game. What's the wager? I like the defense to play the role. PEN/COL UNDER 134 -105 for 3 units(W) ------------------------------------------------------------------- High Point at Loyola Maryland. I will admit to lacking High Point knowledge, but I will say this total is set too high. It moved down 1 point from opening and may fall some more. I'll take it now. HP/LM UNDER 158 -114 for 3 units(W) Underdogs covering ATS, but Totals was on the money. 2-0 +6.00 uni...
