Oregon began the season at 13-0, but things quickly turned and the Ducks went on a 5-game losing streak. The Ducks lost five of six games at that time, including a 70-68 home loss to UCLA as 2.5-point favorites. Since that loss, Oregon is 4-2 with the two losses coming by just 2 points apiece. If we include the UCLA loss, the Ducks are on a 7-game spread-covering streak based on tonight

Gonzaga comes into tonight

Stanford has won three consecutive games, and five of their last six games overall. Their last win came at home on Saturday over ranked UCLA, and the Cardinal played a perfect game. Stanford shot an incredible 62.2% (28-45) from the field and 55.0% (11-20) from three-point land. They were also aggressive in getting to the free throw line 24 times. That was a huge win for Stanford, and considering how well they played, we expect a major letdown tonight at Arizona State. The Cardinal beat the Sun Devils 76-70 on February 1st, but they trailed at the half before getting a 13-point lead midway thru the second half. Arizona State battled back and only trailed by 3 points with a minute left, and that

Brooklyn is finally playing with their full compliment of players now that Deron Williams has returned to the court. The Nets are 2-1 since the All-Star break with Williams averaging 23 points per game while shooting 48.9% from the floor. Brooklyn

North Carolina is in a terrible scheduling and situational spot for this game at NC State on Wednesday night. The Tar Heels beat Duke 74-66 last Thursday night after coming back from a 7-point halftime deficit. North Carolina followed that emotional win with a 105-72 dismantling of Wake Forest on Saturday afternoon. The Tar Heels shot 57.4% (35-61) from the field and an incredible 73.3% (11-15) from three-point land. They also went 24-29 (82.8%) from the free throw line. They couldn

Houston has been playing good basketball as they

Utah State

Los Angeles got a much-needed win yesterday in Oklahoma City after coming out of the All-Star Break with back-to-back losses. The Clippers played a perfect game yesterday in their 125-117 win; they shot 51.9% (42-81) from the field and 43.3% (13-30) from three-point land. They also got to the free throw line 39 times which shows just how aggressive they were. Los Angeles got a big spotlight win over a Class-A team yesterday, and they played at Memphis in their previous game. Now they must play at New Orleans on a back-to-back set with this also being their third game in four nights, and it

Arizona State comes into tonight

Boston is struggling mightily this season; the Celtics are 19-37 SU, including an 8-20 record on the road. Boston has lost both games since the All-Star Break, and tonight they are in a terrible scheduling spot. The Celtics played last night in Los Angeles, and they blew an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter. Boston got out-scored 38-18 by the Lakers over the final 12 minutes and lost 101-92. Now they must wheel right back and play with no rest while also playing their third game in four nights. Boston will rest Rajon Rondo as well tonight, and they are already without Avery Bradley who never made this West Coast trip. Boston

Arizona comes into tonight

Syracuse lost their first game of the season on Wednesday night to an unlikely opponent. Boston College, with just 6 wins on the season going into that game, won 62-59 at Syracuse in overtime. The Orange were on the verge of losing for some time as five of their previous eight wins all came by 6 points or less. Off their first loss of the season, we expect Syracuse to play with a hangover in this game at Duke. The Orange should have lost their last road game at Pittsburgh, but they were fortunate to escape with a win after hitting a half-court shot at the buzzer; Syracuse trailed by 6 points with less than 2 minutes to play. The Orange have been extremely fortunate in their recent games, but we expect their luck to run out tonight in their toughest road game to date.

Duke comes in off a loss at North Carolina after blowing a 37-30 halftime lead. The Blue Devils will be glad to be back at home after playing three of their last four games on the road, and six of their last nine games on the road. Duke is a perfect 14-0 at home this season with eleven of those wins coming by 9 points or more. The Blue Devils gave Syracuse all they could handle in the first meeting, taking the Orange to overtime before losing 91-89. Duke was able to hit 15 three

Texas Tech is in a terrible scheduling and situational spot for this game at Oklahoma State on Saturday afternoon. The Red Raiders come in off a heartbreaking last-second 64-63 loss at home to Kansas. That loss on Tuesday night is going to linger with this team for awhile, especially when head coach Tubby Smith publically acknowledged how crushing the defeat was:

New Orleans opened their second half with a 98-91 home loss to the Knicks on Wednesday night. That loss was somewhat misleading as New Orleans actually out-scored New York 42-34 inside the paint and they had a 16-8 fast-break points edge. The difference came with the Knicks making 10 three

When these two teams met last month, Gonzaga was in a great spot to get a blowout win. The Zags did exactly that as they beat BYU 84-69. The Cougars were coming in off a triple overtime loss at Portland two night

Miami has motivation and a few big advantages working in their favor for tonight

Washington

When Vanderbilt and Missouri played in mid-January, the Commodores escaped with a 78-75 home win as 1.5-point underdogs. Vanderbilt won that game despite failing to control the pace; Vanderbilt is a slow team while Missouri is a team that likes to play fast. The fact that the Commodores won that game in the 70

This will be the second meeting of the season between Duquesne and St. Bonaventure. The Dukes won the first game 83-81 on their home court as 3-point underdogs. Duquesne trailed by 6 points at the half, but they out-scored the Bonnies 45-37 over the final 20 minutes to win the game. Duquesne shot 55.3% (26-47) from the field and 57.9% (11-19) from three-point land while also getting to the free throw line 33 times. Despite that, they only won the game by 2 points on their home court. Duquesne snapped their 4-game losing streak with an 83-71 win as 5.5-point underdogs at Rhode Island in their last game. They scored 83 points; they scored 68 points or less in their previous four games. The Dukes shot 56.6% (30-53) from the field and 44.4% (8-18) from three-point land. We can

Missouri State comes in off a close 60-58 home loss to Northern Iowa on Saturday night. That was a big game for the Bears as they were playing with revenge and they also had the ESPN cameras in the house. Missouri State rarely gets to play on national TV, and since they lost in disappointing fashion after coming back from a 10-point halftime deficit, we expect a letdown tonight at Illinois State. The Bears are 17-9 on the season, but they are just 4-6 in true road games this season. Missouri State

This is a pretty big game between Charlotte and Detroit as the Bobcats and Pistons are battling for the eight playoff spot in the East. The teams are playing a home-and-home set with tomorrow night

Delaware will be playing on the road for the first time in three weeks when they take on Towson tonight. The Blue Hens come in off four consecutive home games, and they

The West has won the last three All-Star games, and four of the last five overall. And their winning run should continue tonight, as the West has the superior roster and they

This will be the second meeting of the season between Notre Dame and Boston College. The Irish won the first game 76-73 in overtime on their home court as 6.5-point favorites. Notre Dame was extremely fortunate to win that game as they sent the game to overtime after hitting a free throw with 0.7 seconds left to play. Boston College led 29-26 at the half and they never trailed in the second half despite their best player (Olivier Hanlan) only scoring 5 points in the entire game. Notre Dame was dominated for the entire 45 minutes of that game, so to say they were lucky to win would be a big understatement. The Irish have played the majority of their recent games at home with four of their last five games being on their own court. Notre Dame is 0-6 in true road games this season, and they are just 1-7 overall away from home. They will also be shorthanded with Demetrius Jackson out because of academics and Garrick Sherman bothered by an injured finger.

Boston College returned a loaded team of talented and experienced players with 98% of their offensive production and 96% of their defensive production back from last season. But the season has been a disaster with the Eagles coming into this game with an ugly 6-18 record. Four of those six wins have come at home, and since they

Both teams come into this game off back-to-back losses at Arizona and at Arizona State. The difference in the losses is the fact that Oregon was competitive both games, losing by 2 points in each game while Oregon State lost one of the games by 22 points. Oregon State will be playing their third consecutive game away from home, and that

San Francisco has a good looking 15-10 record on the season, but it should be noted the Dons have played an unbalanced schedule thus far. They

When Utah and UCLA played in mid-January, we released a Best Bet selection on Utah +2 at home. The money agreed as the game was bet down to a pick, and Utah won 74-69. The main reasons we liked Utah in that game was the fact they were undervalued at that point, playing on a strong home court, and they were going to be able to dictate a slow pace. Despite winning, Utah did not control the pace as much as we expected, especially in the second half when UCLA scored 43 points. The Utes also allowed UCLA to take 63 shots in that game while only taking 53 shots of their own. With the rematch now in Los Angeles, we see no possible way in which Utah can dictate the tempo, and ultimately that will be their undoing in this game. Utah is just 1-6 in true road games this season; they got their first win on Thursday night at USC. They were expected to win that game as they were 4.5-point road favorites. Off that win, we expect a letdown in this game, especially since Utah already beat UCLA earlier this season.

UCLA comes in off an 18-point blowout win at home over Colorado on Thursday night. The Bruins are 14-1 at home this season where 12 of those wins have come by double digits. UCLA

This will be the second meeting of the season between Xavier and Marquette. The Musketeers won the first game 86-79 on their home court as 4-point favorites. Xavier was in terrific form going into that game as they were on a 7-game winning streak, and they also covered the spread in their previous five games. Things are different for the rematch as Xavier

Siena will make an hour trip to face their rival Marist on Friday night. The Saints have dominated this series recently as they

We went against Evansville on Sunday and cashed an easy winner on Bradley. But we

Memphis was playing some of the best basketball in the NBA during the month of January. The Grizzlies went 12-3 SU and ATS during the month, but things have turned in February. Memphis is just 3-3 SU and 1-5 ATS over the last 12 days, and we expect another poor performance tonight. The Grizzlies beat the Wizards 92-89 at home last night, and now they must travel and play in Orlando on a back-to-back set. This will also be Memphis

Syracuse is 23-0 and one of two undefeated teams in college basketball; Wichita State is the other. However, Syracuse has played the majority of their games at home this season. They

Dallas is not in the best of scheduling spots for tonight

Wake Forest is a team that needs to play fast in order to have success. The Demon Deacons have nine losses on the season with seven of them coming when they were held to less than 70 points. One of their losses also came when they landed right on 70 points. The team

Marquette has failed to live up to their lofty expectations this season. The Golden Eagles come into this game with a 13-10 record, but know that ten of those wins have come on their home court. Marquette is just 2-6 in true road games and 3-8 overall on the road. They

Western Kentucky has a solid 16-7 SU record this season, but the Hilltoppers are not covering pointspreads. They are just 9-11-1 ATS this season, including their recent 0-3 ATS slide. Western Kentucky won all three of those games, but those wins only came by 1, 4, and 5 points. The Hilltoppers

Creighton has an impressive 19-3 record this season. However, the Blue Jays are a dominant home team where they are 13-0 on the season. Away from home, Creighton has not been the same team and they only have a 6-3 record. Creighton blows out their opponents on their home court where their average win comes by a whopping 20 points per game. Their smallest win came by just 3 points, and it was against St. John

Indiana is not in a good situational or scheduling spot for this game tonight in Orlando. The Pacers come in off a spotlight overtime game against Portland on Friday night. Indiana trailed throughout that game, and they were down by as many as 12 points before hitting a last-second three to tie the game. The Pacers ultimately won 118-113 in overtime, but that was a draining and taxing effort with all five starters playing 38 minutes or more. Indiana is in a flat spot tonight in Orlando, especially since they return home to play Denver tomorrow night. The Pacers already own two wins over the Magic this season, including an easy 98-79 romp just six days ago.

Orlando is playing some good basketball right now. The Magic have won back-to-back games, including their 103-102 home win over Oklahoma City on Friday night. Orlando has won four consecutive home games with their offense scoring 103 points or more in all four of those games. The Magic are a respectable 12-14 at home this season with nine of those losses coming by single digits. Orlando will put everything they have into tonight

Evansville is the youngest team in the country, and their poor play on the road this season can be attributed to that. The Purple Aces are just 2-9 away from home this season with their average loss coming by a whopping 14.2 points per game. Evansville

Oakland comes into this game off back-to-back losses with their last being at home versus Cleveland State. The Grizzlies now take to the road where they have been absolutely terrible this season. Oakland is 1-12 away from home, including a 1-10 record in true road games. The Grizzlies are just 2-11 ATS on the road based on the posted pointspread for this game. Oakland

Wichita State is one of the best teams in the country. The Shockers are a perfect 24-0 and they have a legitimate shot at winning the national title this season. We really have no negatives to recite about Wichita State, but the Shockers are not in the best of scheduling spots. This is a quick turnaround from their close win at Indiana State on Wednesday night. There are only three teams in the Missouri Valley Conference that have a positive scoring margin in conference play: Wichita State, Indiana State, and Northern Iowa. The Shockers survived the other night by 7 points as 4-point road favorites. Now they must do so again on a back-to-back road set while laying more points; the inflated line gives us a lot of value with the home underdog.

Northern Iowa has a losing record at 11-12, but they

Cincinnati comes into this game with an impressive 22-2 record and they are ranked #7 in the country. But the Bearcats are not as good as their record indicates in our opinion. Cincinnati has won a lot of close games, and they

Boise State is in a terrible situational and scheduling spot for this game at Utah State on Saturday night. The Broncos come in off their biggest home game in 14 years when they hosted #5 San Diego State on Wednesday night. The Broncos controlled that game for over 37 minutes; they led by 14 points in the second half. San Diego State hit a game-winning three with 4.2 seconds left to play. Boise State will have a very difficult time getting over that game, and since they have to travel and play in a very tough place, we expect a major hangover from the Broncos. They already beat Utah State 78-74 earlier this season so they have little motivation against the Aggies.

Utah State snapped a 5-game losing streak with an 83-75 home win over Nevada on Wednesday night. During the Aggies recent losing streak, they played three games on the road and lost a home game in overtime to a 20-1 San Diego State team. So it

Texas comes into this game on a 7-game winning streak with one of those wins coming over Kansas State. The Longhorns won that game 67-64, but they failed to cover the spread as 5.5-point home favorites. Texas is a team that needs to play ultra-fast to be at their best, but they are not going to get their preferred fast pace in this game. Texas has been extremely fortunate in their schedule thus far as they

San Francisco has a good looking 14-9 record on the season, but it should be noted the Dons have played an imbalanced schedule thus far. They

Washington comes into tonight

Wyoming is a scrappy team that gives their opponents fits. The Cowboys play at an extremely slow pace, and that makes it difficult for their opponents to get separation. Wyoming has held all 21 of their opponents to less than 70 points in regulation time this season, and six of their seven losses this season have come by 8 points or less with three losses coming by 3 points exactly. Wyoming has given New Mexico fits recently, and that includes a 3-point overtime loss earlier this season.

New Mexico comes into tonight

Minnesota is in a tailspin right now. The Golden Gophers have lost back-to-back games and four of their last six games overall. Minnesota lost their last game at home as 10.5-point favorites against Northwestern. The Gophers are also without their best player as Andre Hollins is out with an ankle injury. Minnesota

San Diego State is 19-1 on the season and they are currently ranked #5 in the country. However, this is a dangerous spot for the Aztecs, and we do not expect them to leave Boise with a win. San Diego State does not match-up well against the Broncos, and that has been evident in recent meetings. Boise State has taken the Aztecs to the wire in all seven meetings between these two teams over the last few seasons. Six of the seven games have been decided by 6 points or less with five of those games decided by 4 points or less. San Diego State won 69-66 at home earlier this season, but they lost in Boise 69-65 last season.

Boise State is a very good team people know little about. The Broncos won 21 games last season and they played in the NCAA tournament. They returned four starters from that team, including two of the best overall players in the Mountain West conference (Derrick Marks and Anthony Drmic), and also the league

Phoenix is playing on a back-to-back set tonight after hosting Chicago last night. The Suns lost that game 101-92 and they used up a lot of energy in that game. Phoenix never led, but they made numerous runs and cut into Chicago

Kansas was rolling thru the Big 12 prior to Saturday

Memphis is quietly playing good basketball right now. The Grizzlies are 16-5 SU over their last 21 games with all five of their losses coming by 8 points or less. That means Memphis is an incredible 20-0-1 ATS over their last 21 games based on tonight

Notre Dame always brings their best efforts against the top teams. Head coach Mike Brey is a sharp game planner for games like this, and we expect the Irish to slow this game to a crawl. Notre Dame has faced a tough schedule already this season with games at Iowa, at home against Duke, and neutral court games against Indiana and Ohio State. The Irish beat Duke, so this team can play despite only having a 12-10 record. Notre Dame has been competitive in their ten losses as eight of them have come by 8 points or less. The Irish come in off a confidence-building overtime win on Saturday so they are riding some momentum coming into tonight

Oklahoma is playing much better than people expected as the Sooners come into today

Golden State played at home last night in a big game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Warriors caught the Clippers in a terrible scheduling spot and they took advantage and won 111-92. The Warriors never trailed in the game and they led by as many as 25 points. Golden State shot 49.5% (45-91) from the field with six players scoring in double figures. The Warriors will be playing on a back-to-back set in the thin air and altitude of Utah. Not only that, but this is also Golden State

Pacific is walking into a hornet

Cleveland is not in good current form right now. The Cavaliers are just 1-4 SU and ATS over their last five games with their lone win and cover coming against the putrid Milwaukee Bucks. The Cavaliers were at home for all five of those games so there

Washington won 88-85 at Golden State last night, and we expect them to carry over some momentum into tonight

These two teams just met two weeks ago in Ames with Kansas winning 77-70 as 2.5-point road underdogs. Iowa State was in a difficult spot for that game as they were off their close, high-scoring loss at Oklahoma two days prior and their best player, DeAndre Kane, was playing on a severely sprained ankle. Despite that, Iowa State was tied 36-36 at the half with Kansas. The Cyclones also shot terribly in that game as they hit just 31.4% (22-70) from the field and 16.0% (4-25) from three-point land. Iowa State comes into the rematch in much better shape, and their 3-point shooting will be a key factor. Kansas has allowed 25 made three

Indiana will be playing their fifth and final game of their West Coast road trip tonight in Los Angeles. The Pacers have alternated wins and losses in the first four games so far. They come in off a loss in Denver, and if their current pattern holds form, we can expect an Indiana win tonight. The Pacers

Memphis is quietly playing good basketball right now. The Grizzlies are 12-5 SU over their last seventeen games with four of their five losses coming by 4 points or less. That means Memphis is an incredible 16-1 ATS over their last 17 games based on tonight

Boston is struggling mightily right now. The Celtics are 3-17 SU over their last 20 games. And it

Oklahoma State is 16-3 on the season with their three losses coming against good teams by close margins. The Cowboys lost by 5 points to Memphis on a neutral court in a revenge game; Oklahoma State beat Memphis by 21 points earlier this season. The Cowboys other loss came as expected at Kansas State by 3 points, and they lost by 2 points at Kansas. The Cowboys are a tough team to play against because they have a wealth of scorers on the court at all times. And that is especially true when their opponent has a weak defense, just like their opponent tonight, Oklahoma. The Sooners

Minnesota is getting a much needed class relief for tonight

Indiana is in a difficult situational and scheduling spot for this game in Denver on Saturday night. The Pacers went to overtime last night in Sacramento, and they won 116-111. Indiana trailed for the majority of that game, and in fact, they trailed by 17 points at one point. All five of the Pacers

Washington played last night in Phoenix and the Wizards won 101-95. Washington trailed by 6 points at the half, but they out-scored the Suns 31-19 in the third quarter. All five starters scored 14 points or more, but they also played over 30 minutes apiece. Washington will be playing on a back-to-back set in the thin air and altitude of Utah. Not only that, but this is also Washington

Tennessee

Memphis is quietly playing good basketball right now. The Grizzlies are 10-5 SU over their last fifteen games with four of their five losses coming by 4 points or less. That means Memphis is an incredible 14-1 ATS over their last 15 games based on tonight

Both teams come into this game on losing streaks. Oregon has lost four consecutive games after opening the season at 13-0. Washington has lost back-to-back games after winning five of their previous six games. Oregon has faced four good offenses in their last four games, but they will be getting a class relief tonight against Washington

Sacramento is in a bad scheduling and situational spot for tonight

Oklahoma City played a meaningful revenge game at home last night against Portland. The Thunder won that game 105-97 thanks to Kevin Durant scoring 46 points on 17 of 25 shooting. Off that big win, Oklahoma City has to wheel right back and play tonight in San Antonio, and this is simply not a good scheduling spot for the Thunder. This will be Oklahoma City

Arkansas comes into tonight

Dallas comes into tonight

Clemson is a scrappy team that gives their opponents fits. The Tigers play at an extremely slow pace, and that makes it difficult for their opponents to get separation. Clemson has held 16 of their 17 opponents to 66 points or less this season, and 13 of their 17 opponents to less than 60 points. Three of their four losses have come by 6 points or less. Overall, the Tigers

Kansas State is 14-4 SU on the season. The Wildcats are a sound team that plays slow and solid defense; the exact type of team that gives Texas fits. Kansas State has won the last three meetings in this series while holding the Longhorns to just 49, 69, and 57 points. The Wildcats have held 15 of their 18 opponents to 68 points or less this season, and if they do that in this game, Texas will be hard-pressed to get any type of margin. Kansas State

Maryland snapped their mini 2-game losing streak with a solid 74-66 win over Notre Dame last Wednesday night. That win has galvanized this team according to multiple reports with practices leading up to tonight

San Francisco has won back-to-back road playoff games, and in fact, the 49ers have won three consecutive road games coming into this game. They beat the Cardinals in the final regular season game, and they beat the Packers and Panthers over the last two weeks. San Francisco will be playing on the road for the fourth straight week and for the fifth time over the last six weeks. The 49ers are in a bad spot, and they

New England came out of their bye last week real sharp as they waxed the Colts 43-22. The Patriots played exceptionally well on offense as they were well-balanced with 234 yards on the ground and 185 yards thru the air. We

Golden State is in a very difficult situational and scheduling spot for tonight

Oklahoma State is 15-2 on the season with their two losses coming against good teams by close margins. The Cowboys lost by 5 points to Memphis on a neutral court in a revenge game; Oklahoma State beat Memphis by 21 points earlier this season. The Cowboys other loss came expected at Kansas State by 3 points; we had a Best Bet against Oklahoma State in that game. The Cowboys are a tough team to get separation from because they have a wealth of scorers on the court at all times. Oklahoma State has given Kansas fits in the last two meetings, and in fact, they beat the Jayhawks on this court last season 85-80.

Kansas is off three consecutive emotional games, and we expect that to catch up to them in this game. The Jayhawks were stunned by San Diego State at home two weeks ago; that loss snapped their 68-game home winning streak against non-conference opponents. Since that loss, Kansas won 90-83 at Oklahoma, crushed their arch rival Kansas State 86-60, and won 77-70 at Iowa State on Monday night as 2.5-point road underdogs. That win in Ames was one circled on their calendar after some antics occurred in their last trip there. In what projects to be a high-scoring game, we

UCLA is 14-3 SU this season, but the Bruins have been fortunate in their match-ups. UCLA is a team that needs to play ultra-fast in order to have success; the Bruins are one of the fastest teams in the country in pace. But today they will be playing one of the slowest teams in college basketball as Utah loves to grind teams in the half court. UCLA has faced just one team that tried to slow them down this season, and that resulted in a 17-point loss to Duke after scoring just 63 points. UCLA is off a high-profile win at Colorado on Thursday night, and today

Miami has been terrible in their last three games. The Heat lost all three games on the road; 102-92 in New York, 104-95 in Brooklyn in double overtime, and 114-97 in Washington. Despite the three losses, we

This is a big rivalry game in the Big West conference, and it

Both teams come in off ugly losses in their last game. NC State was waxed 76-45 at home by Virginia. The Wolfpack shot an ugly 28.9% (13-45) from the field and a woeful 20.0% (2-10) from three-point land. Virginia scored more points in the first half (48) than NC State scored in the entire game. NC State

Memphis is playing much better basketball now than they were earlier this season. The Grizzlies come into tonight

Boise State

Kentucky is 12-3 on the season, but 10 of those wins have come at home. On the road, the Wildcats are just 2-3 SU, including 1-1 in true road games. Kentucky comes in off a 71-62 win at Vanderbilt on Saturday, but the stats say they were actually out-played in that game. The Wildcats were out-shot 50.0% (25-50) to 42.6% (26-61) from the field and out-shot 30.0% (6-20) to 27.3% (6-22) from three-point land. The difference came at the free throw line as Kentucky hit 13 times from the line while Vanderbilt only hit 6 free throws. Even from the stripe, the Wildcats only shot 59.1% (13-22). So while their 9-point road win looks good, the reality is that Kentucky played a sub-par game and was fortunate to escape with a win.

Arkansas comes into this game at 11-4, including a strong 9-1 at home. Their lone home loss came on Saturday in overtime as Florida nipped them 84-82. The Razorbacks were facing a tough opponent in the Gators as they play at a much slower pace than Arkansas prefers and Florida

Phoenix has been the surprise team of the NBA so far this season. The Suns were projected to be one of the worst teams in the league, but coming into tonight

San Diego won for us last week in Cincinnati when they beat the Bengals outright (27-10) as 6-point underdogs. But we
