Couldn't get to the lines yesterday, had some work to do on some upcoming Fantasy Baseball drafts. But we've got a couple months until The Boys of Summer are back, so let's see what Vegas has to offer this fine morning...
(P.S. 12-8-2 folks. I knew my X-men could pull it off Monday night.)
Kansas State (-3.0) @ Nebraska
My first reaction when I saw the spread was comparable to a lost lamb returning to it's mother's teat. But upon further review, this is a risky game. K-State has been a bit stale on the road, losing @ Mizzou and T-Tech on their past two treks. The Wildcats also don't have a true big-man to match up with Aleks "The Monster" Maric, which usually lends pause to me picking a roadie. But Michael "The Man-Beast" Beasley got Maric in foul-trouble in Manhattan, got his 35 & 13, and should be able to handle the work underneath. The Cornhusker's don't have another player averaging double-digit points, so if "The Monster" has to serve any time on the bench,
K-State should go off. Plus the Wildcats are playing for a tie atop the Big 12, great motivation before match-ups at Baylor and hosting Texas.
Duke (-6.0) @ Miami (FL)
Coach K will not allow his team to slack-off again after the loss at Wake. The Dukies have too much talent and too many option, with five players averaging 10+ points. Enough said.
Wisconsin (-2.0) @ Illinois
Might as well stay consistent and pick another travelin' favorite. The Illini' have nothing left to play for save pride, which they left on the Assembly Hall floor after the loss to Indiana. The Badgers are shooting to even-up with Purdue atop the Big Ten standings after the Boliermakers fell to Indiana last night. This one shouldn't be close, but you never know when you're betting against the home team.
Stop by tomorrow to see how we did.
