Florida Gators vs. Kentucky Wildcats
Super Tuesday tips off with a heck of a confrontation in the SEC when the 7th ranked Florida Gators (19-4, 9-8-1 ATS) storm Lexington looking to take down the top ranked Kentucky Wildcats (23-1, 8-14-1 ATS); take this one in live from Rupp Arena at 7:00 ET on ESPN.

The Gators find themselves dogged by oddsmakers for the first time since going into Syracuse back on December 2nd; Florida lost that game 72-68 but covered as seven-point pups to move to 2-0 ATS as underdogs after covering against the Ohio State Buckeyes back in Mid November. Head Coach Billy Donovan had himself a heck of a team a year ago that went 29-8 SU & 17-15-1 ATS while making a heck of a run in the NCAA Tournament before bowing out to Butler in the Elite 8. This squad has most of the ingredients a team needs to make a run at the 2011-12 title, and a win here would only help further cement that notion. Unfortunately, the Gators have had problems away from Gainesville already falling to lesser Rutgers and Tennessee UF checks in 2-4 SU & 3-3 ATS in its six true road games to date.

Though Kentucky got out to a stellar 17-1 SU start through its first 18 games played, it flat out killed its betting backers during that stretch managing just a 3-13-1 ATS record in the 16 lined games. However, after escaping Knoxville with a win mid January, the Wildcats have won each of their last six games played and only suffered one pointspread defeat during that stretch. Last we saw Head Coach John Caliparis super talented squad hit the hardwood, it handed South Carolina a beatdown for the ages winning 86-52 as 11.5-point road chalk. KY has flat out mauled each of its last four opponents beating the likes of Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, and the aforementioned Gamecocks by an average of 24 points per game. The Wildcats are faced with a daunting schedule to close out the regular season, so look for them to make the most of their four remaining home games where they stand a perfect 15-0 SU & bankroll bursting 3-10-1 ATS on the year.

These teams split their regular season meetings a year ago with Florida earning the 70-68 outright home win and cover as one-point underdogs before Kentucky evened the score at home with a 76-68 win that pushed against the closing number. The Wildcats took the season series when they pounded the Gators 70-54 as 1.5-point underdogs in the SEC Tournament Championship Game. The road team is 3-1-1 ATS the L/5 meetings, but the Gators have only covered one of their L/6 following an ATS win. The Gators stand 5-2-1 ATS their L/8 trips to Rupp, but the Wildcats have covered each of their L/4 within the conference. The under has cashed six of the L/8 times these rivals went at it in Lexington.

Devils at Rangers
Play: Over 5
 
New Jersey makes the trip across the river to face the league leading New York Rangers in Madison Square Garden tonight. Always a bitter rivalry, these two teams play each other hard and always entertain the fans in one way or another. Lately the Devils have been entertaining everyone with their huge offensive outbursts. The Devils are on a four-game win streak where they have scored 20 goals and allowed 12. Needless to say, all of those games went flying Over the total. I look for more wide open play tonight as they look to get the Rangers to stray from their puck possession style. New York loves to cycle and work the puck down low to create their scoring chances and the Devils know they can't beat them by grinding it out. The Rangers are just too big, strong, and talented to beat them at their own game. I expect the Devils to push the play and use their speed and transition offensive to create their chances tonight leaving them a bit exposed defensively as well. These two teams played a 4-3 shootout game last week and I am expecting a similar type game tonight. The total of 5 is very generous and I see no reason not to take advantage of such a key number.

1 Unit Creighton -5.5

This could have been a potential look ahead spot for Creighton, who hosts Wichita State Saturday, but a loss at Northern Iowa last game assures us the Bluejays won't take Evansville lightly.

Creighton has won 6 in a row against the Purple Aces with these wins coming by an average of 9.8 points. It is also worth noting that Creighton is 9-1 ATS off a loss to a conference rival with coach McDermott at the helm. It has won by an average of 7.7 points in this situation.

In addition, the Bluejays are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following an ATS loss, 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games following a SU loss and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings at Evansville. Overall, the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. Take Creighton.
Matt Fargo

Phoenix Suns vs. Milwaukee Bucks     
Play: Milwaukee Bucks -7½

Phoenix has won two straight games for just the third time this season but it has yet to win three in a row and I don't see that happening tonight. The Suns are coming off a big win last night against the Hawks which happened to be the first time Atlanta has lost to a team below .500 this season. Phoenix is 5-8 on the road this season and it is 1-6 ATS in its last seven road games against teams with a winning home record. The favorite has covered four straight and seven of eight in this series.

The Bucks meanwhile have dropped two straight games which came Friday night in Detroit and Saturday night at home against the Bulls. That was only the third home loss for the Bucks this season as the home team is now 17-6 in its 23 games on the season. Prior to the loss against Chicago, Milwaukee had won home games against the Lakers and the Heat in the days leading up to that so they have been able to be very competitive at home against the top teams. Phoenix is not part of that group.

Milwaukee lost in Phoenix in the first meeting this season and it was an ugly 16-point loss and it was much worse than that as the Suns had built a 28-point lead. Phoenix shot 55.8 percent from the floor and it was the 24th straight home win for the Suns against Milwaukee. That is certainly an ugly string for the Bucks but we have to remember that the Suns were an elite team for a lot of those wins and that is far from the case this season despite that dominant win last month.

Milwaukee is 19-8 ATS in its last 27 home games following two or more consecutive losses while going 5-0 ATS in its last five home games against teams with a road winning percentage less than .400. The Bucks have struggled this season when playing with no rest, case in point Saturday against Chicago, as it is 1-7 ATS playing with no rest but it is 10-5 ATS when playing with at least one day off. The Suns meanwhile are just 2-6 ATS this season when getting between 7.0 and 9.5 points.

Florida @ Kentucky
Play: Florida +9

#7 ranked Florida vs #1 ranked Kentucky here tonight! Florida is 7-0 SU and 6-1 ATS last 3 years when playing against a good defensive team allowing 64 points per game or less after 15 or more games. Kentucky is 2-8 ATS this year after scoring 80 points or more. Florida is scoring 80.1 points per game overall this year and 77.2 points per game on the road this season. Gators are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Tuesday games. Gators are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games following three or more consecutive home games. Gators are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Gators are 15-7-2 ATS in their last 24 games vs. a team with a winning SU record. Wildcats are 16-33-3 ATS in their last 52 games following a SU win of more than 20 points. Wildcats are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Wildcats are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a winning SU record. Wildcats are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Wildcats are 2-11-1 ATS in their last 14 home games. Wildcats are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Gators are 5-2-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Kentucky. Gators are 9-4-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Road team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Underdog is 3-0-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings. We'll recommend a small play on Florida tonight!
Steve Janus

Utah Jazz +9

The Jazz really put forth a disappointing effort against the short-handed Knicks last night. Utah has now lost three of their last four overall. The Jazz will be extremely motivated to win this game, and they are definitely talented enough to keep the final score under double-digits. A lot of people will be quick to jump on Indiana because the Jazz are playing their second game of a back-to-back road set, but I don't think they used much energy at all last night.

The Pacers scored a season-low 81-points in a rare home loss to the Magic on Saturday. The Pacers have been inconsistent all season offensively. Utah doesn't feature a great defense, but they do have a strong presence in the paint, which will force Indiana to shoot a lot of outside shots.

Utah is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record while Indiana is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5.

Sports Wagers

Toronto -101 over WINNIPEG Pinnacle
In a letdown spot last night, the Maple Leafs fell behind early and then awoke in time for a rather easy 6-3 victory. Toronto has now won three in a row and five of six with only loss over that span being that bizarre and unlikely one against the Penguins. The Buds have scored four or more goals in four of their past five and they've scored 11 times in their past two. For the first time in a very long time, the Maple Leafs can smell the playoffs. This is confident team that is on a roll and very dangerous at the moment. Despite playing the second game in two nights, winning is much less physically draining than losing and Toronto can't wait to get back on the ice. Winnipeg returns home from a six-game trip that saw them play on the road twice before the break and four times after it. They’ve scored two goals or less in every game of that trip, went 2-4 with the wins occurring in OT and they were held to 24 shots on net or less in the last five games. It's going to take a lot more than that to beat the ascending Leafs. Play: Toronto -101 (Risking 2.02 units to win 2).

Los Angeles +100 over TAMPA BAY Pinnacle
Dwayne Roloson is the confirmed starter for the Lightning tonight. In 24 games this year, he has a 3.65 GAA, a .882 save percentage and hasn't played since January 21. For the Kings, it'll be Jonathan Quick and his 1.87 GAA and .934 save percentage. Based on that alone, the Kings are worthy of a bet here, as goaltending often decides the outcome. The Kings would be a huge threat with some more scoring. It's no secret that their Achilles Heel all season has been a lack of production. However, the Bolts are not strong defensively and you can count on L.A. attacking with everything they have against a vulnerable 42-year-old, fragile netminder. Tampa Bay could get caught looking ahead to an upcoming three games in four nights road trip against the Rangers, Buffalo and Pittsburgh this coming Thursday, Saturday and Sunday respectively. Play: Los Angeles +100 (Risking 2 units).

New Jersey +150 over N.Y. RANGERS Pinnacle
The Devils remain the Rodney Dangerfield’s of the NHL. They keep getting offered these ridiculous prices and they keep rewarding their backers. New Jersey has won four straight since the break. They beat the Rangers, Philly, Montreal and Pittsburgh. They had a 6-0 lead on Philadelphia and beat the Pens 5-2. They scored four goals or more in all of the above, yet they keep being offered prices that you would find on teams like Calgary and the Islanders. Yes, they have goaltending issues and yes the Rangers are one of the best. However, the Devils can match anyone outside of goal, they're popping in goals at an eye-opening rate and they deserve much more credit than this. We're not always in the business of predicting the outcome of games. We're commonly in the business of finding value and letting the chips fall where they may. With this quality team and what is being offered, this one surely fits. Play: New Jersey +150 (Risking 2 units).

OTTAWA +107 over St. Louis Pinnacle
Ottawa is in a funk with six straight losses but one was in OT and three others were by a single goal. In other words, with a couple of bounces they could easily be 3-3 or even 4-2 over that span. The point is, they're the same team that was winning games earlier. They've just hit a little snag in the road. The Senators are not hanging their heads. They're competing with the same fire they've had all season and such diligence does not go unrewarded for long. Much of the focus here is on Blues goalie Brian Elliott, who played in Ottawa for 3½ years before signing with St. Louis this season. He never stood out for a second in his time as a Senator. This year though, he's an all-star and surely wants to have an impact upon his return to Ottawa. However, the Blues are just 2-5-2 in their past nine road games and 8-11-3 overall. The Blue Notes have scored one goal in five of their past seven games and that serious lack of production does not warrant them being chalk on the road. Finally, St. Louis has lost the last five matchups in Ottawa while not scoring more than two goals in any contest and this one isn't likely to be any different. Play: Ottawa +107 (Risking 2 units).

Vancouver +109 over NASHVILLE Pinnacle
The Canucks are almost always worth a look when taking back a tag and we certainly make no exception here. The Canucks are third in the NHL in points and they've picked up points in five straight and 14 of their past 17 games. The real kicker here is that they could also be in Pekka Rinne's kitchen. In two games this year against Nashville, Rinne was yanked both times after allowing four goals on 16 shots in the first game and five goals on 18 shots in the second. There's not a lot more to say other than reiteracting that we get one of the NHL's elite teams that is always tough to beat and we're taking back a tag against a goaltender they've owned this season. Play: Vancouver +109 (Risking 2 units).

Flames / Sharks Over 5.5

For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this contest is on the "over":

The Calgary Flames are 24-22-3-4 overall this year; they're 14-8-1-1 at home and just 10-14-2-3 on the road; they're coming off a 3-2 shootout loss at Anaheim on Sunday, which was on the heels of a 3-1 win over the Blackhawks at home three nights previous.

The O/U is 19-31-3.

"We had a couple of chances to win, but it's not easy with their goalie," Flames netminder Mikka Kiprusoff said.

Calgary remains just three points out of a playoff spot though with 29-games left in the season, and captain Jerome Iginla believe's his team has a legitimate shot at finally making it to the post-season after missing for two years straight:

"We've played Detroit," Iginla reasoned. "We've played Vancouver. We've played San Jose. And we've played them lately. And while we respect them, we definitely feel we can beat them ...

"I like it in Calgary. I believe we can be in the playoffs and have a shot."

On the other bench: The Sharks are 29-15-3-3 overall this year, including 17-8-2-0 at home and 12-7-1-3 on the road; after three straight victories, they're coming off a 5-3 loss at Phoenix on Saturday.

The O/U is 23-27-0.

"It wasn't lack of offense," said Sharks coach Todd McLellan. "We had a number of chances and ended up with three at the end. We were not competitive at the times we needed to be competitive."

Bottom line: Both teams push the pace of this game after lacklustre efforts; you may want to consider a second look at the "over" in this contest.

Evansville +5.5

I do understand, it's not easy to take the Ace's here against a clearly superior Jays club. Well, it wasn't to appealing to wager on Oklahoma last night against the vastly better Missouri Tigers either. However that turned out okay didn't it? The fact is I think this is a tough spot for Creighton with the upcoming battle against Wichita State looming. I fully anticipate the crowd to be electric with the ranked Jays in the house and frankly the Aces are a historically a solid proposition on their home floor against quality opponents. I feel Creighton is in for an alley fight here. I say take the generous points here with the home dog. To be candid I did consider this as a Rabid Dog Release tonight but found another game that seemed even stronger to me so I chose it in the end.
Sean Murphy

Creighton @ Evansville
PICK: Under 153.5

Creighton suffered a rare loss on Saturday, dropping a 65-62 decision on a last-second three-pointer from Northern Iowa's Anthony James.

That was only the Blue Jays third loss overall this season, and second in Missouri Valley Conference play.

Despite that setback, Creighton continues to play excellent defensive basketball. The Blue Jays have five of their last six opponents to fewer than 70 points. Illinois State was the only team to break through that barrier, in a game where the Jays emptied their bench in a 28-point victory (we won w/ Creighton in that game).

While Creighton is known as a high-powered offensive team that loves to push the pace, the fact is, the 'under' has cashed at a 4-1-1 clip in its last five contests. Save for that 102-point outburst against Illinois State, it's not as if the Blue Jays have been scoring at will lately. They've been held to 77 points or less in five of their last six games.

Evansville saw its string of six consecutive 'over' results come to an end in Saturday's narrow 53-52 loss at Southern Illinois.

While the Purple Aces own an ugly set of defensive numbers, they've actually performed much better at home in MVC play, limiting five of their six opponents to fewer than 70 points. Only Illinois State was able to eclipse that number, in a game that still reached only 150 points, staying 'under' tonight's posted total.

In fact, only one of Evansville's six conference home games has surpassed the number we're working with tonight in regulation time.

These two teams hooked up twice last season, with those games totaling 143 and 144 points. Personnel-wise, both squads remain similar. With that being said, the oddsmakers are expecting a different result, adjusting this total northward by 23 points from the closing number in their most recent meeting nearly a year ago to the day.

For the most part, the 'over' results we've seen from the Blue Jays this year have come in games that have resulted in blowout victories. Evansville should be able to stay somewhat competitive in this contest, as it has all season here at home. I'm banking on both defenses playing well enough to keep this one 'under' the inflated total.
Scott Rickenbach

Cleveland @ Miami
PICK: Miami -13

The Miami Heat were built on ego, they thrive on ego. With larger-than-life characters like LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, there’s no team in the NBA that can win or lose based on how they feel that night more than the Heat. And after a lackluster showing versus the Toronto Raptors Sunday, Miami’s Big Three will be out for a pick-me-up against the Cleveland Cavaliers Tuesday. And it’s not like the Heat don’t have any added motivation to knock around the Cavs. Of course, there are LeBron’s motives when playing his former club. But a new angle that has surfaced is the battle in the backcourt between Wade and No. 1 overall pick Kyrie Irving. Wade missed the first meeting with Irving this season due to injury and will be licking his chops at the opportunity to put the youngster in his place. Cleveland already has some gaping holes in its backcourt with Daniel Gibson and Anthony Parker out with injuries. The Heat will attack Irving and run the former Duke standout into the ground. Cleveland may be on thin ice before it even comes to South Beach Tuesday. The Cavaliers have gone toe-to-toe with some of the NBA’s top teams in recent games, including a shocker over the defending champion Dallas Mavericks Saturday. This sets up perfect for Miami backers, looking to not only capitalize on a motivated Heat squad but also a Cavs team primed for a letdown. The Heat are healthy, home and hungry to get their hands on Cleveland Tuesday night.
David Chan

Hurricanes @ Ducks
PICK: Under

I bet value where I see it and expect this to be a tightly checked, low-scoring affair.

The 20-25-9 Carolina Hurricanes storm into Anaheim to take on the 20-24-8 Ducks.

Carolina is coming off a hard-fought 2-1 win over Los Angeles on Saturday.

It was Jeff Skinner's goal 3:02 into the final frame that was the difference; Jiri Tlutsy also tallied a marker, while goaltender Cam Ward had 24-saves:

“They came out ready to play, and it seemed like they had a step on us in the first period,” Ward said. “We weren’t too pleased with it after the first intermission, but once again, we were able to turn it around. We knew that they had some travel, so we made it difficult on them in the second and third.”

Note that Carolina entered that game with a brutal 1-13-0 record when trailing in the first period.

Also note that Ward had posted a stellar 1.88 GAA over his previous 10-home contests.

The Ducks on the other hand are coming off a 3-2 win over the Flames on Monday night.

Niklas Hagman finally beat Mikka Kiprusoff in the eighth round of the shootout:

“He’s a goalie I have practiced a lot against,” said Hagman, who used to play for the Flames. “I don’t have that many moves, and he knows my go-to moves. I tried to switch a little bit. I wanted to come with good speed and shoot it. Luckily for me, he probably thought I was going to go with my backhand.”

Jonas Hiller had 24-saves:

“We really needed those two points,” said Hiller. “It wasn’t an easy game. Both teams played really hard. It was about time we won a shootout.”

Two low-scoring, hard-hitting teams going head to head, with above average goaltenders; all signs point to a low-scoring affair!

SPORTS WAGERS

MINNESOTA -6½ over Sacramento

The Kings appear to be on the rise with three consecutive wins and that allows us an opportunity to cash in on what most perceive as “too many points”, especially with Kevin Love suspended. Frankly, we'd be surprised to see Sacramento stay within double-digits of the Timberwolves. Two of the Kings three wins came at home against visiting Portland and Golden State, the former by three points and the latter in OT. They also defeated the (4-21) Hornets in New Orleans last night in a game they trailed by 13 at the half. Prior to those three wins, the Kings lost to Golden State and Utah, both by just three points. The Kings have played five straight intense games. Now they'll play their fourth game in six days, third game in four days and tail end of back-to-backs. For sound teams, that's a daunting task. Sacramento is anything but sound. They rank 30th in the Association in both points allowed and assists per game. Meanwhile, Minnesota has won five of seven with only two losses over that span coming against the Lakers and Pacers. Look for the Timberwolves to give a little extra here in support of Love, who will serve the first game of his suspension. The T-Wolves have been off since Saturday and they really should have little trouble disposing of this weak intruder right from the tipoff. Play: Minnesota -6½ (Risking 2.06 units to win 2).

Pick: Oklahoma State -2 (-110)

It has been an unexpected joy ride through early February for the Iowa State Cyclones who bring a 17-6 mark with them to Stillwater. They have not had a lot of road games, and it has shown itself, as they have posted just a 3-4 mark on the road. The Cowboys are looking to even-up their record at 12-12, have still fared well here at 8-3 on the season. The Cowboys held their own vs. a rugged Baylor team before losing by 4 here, and pinned one of just two losses on Missouri here by 7. Winning has come frequently for the home-standing Cowboys, including vs. the number where they are 36-16-2 ATS in their last 54 at home.

Sports Wagers CBB

Purdue +14 over OHIO STATE Pinnacle
The Buckeyes are among the best teams in the country and are a true threat to reach the Final Four this season. They are currently ranked #3 with a 20-3 record and an impressive 8-2 mark in the Big-Ten, where they've now won five in a row. Obviously, they are capable of crushing the inferior Boilermakers but in this scenario, we’re doubtful that they do. OSU is coming off two huge wins over #22 Michigan and #20 Wisconsin. They have second place and #12 Michigan State on deck and this one sits right in the middle of those three. After a two-point loss to Michigan and a two-point win in Northwestern, the Boilermakers can be excused for a lame showing against Indiana on Saturday. They have a slew of close losses this season against Alabama, Xavier, Butler, Wisconsin and Michigan, not to mention some notable wins as well. Purdue may be a class below some of its conference mates but they are battle tested and in a good situational spot here. Play: Purdue +14 (Risking 2.02 units to win 2).
