Dave Price

NBA \| Mar 13 Denver Nuggets vs. Memphis Grizzlies	Memphis Grizzlies +3-115 at BODOG	> 1h.
Free Play for 3/13/10 1 Unit on Memphis Grizzlies +3 Denver has been vulnerable on the road this season as it stands at just 16-16 SU with a below .500 ATS record. In fact, Denver is 0-7 ATS as a road favorite of 3 points or less this season, losing these games by an average score of 94 to 100.7. Denver is also just 2-10 ATS as a road favorite of 6 points or less this season, losing these games by an average score of 101.5 to 103.6. The back-to-back situation should favor Memphis as well. The Nuggets are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest while the Grizzlies are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 0 days rest. Take Memphis.

Jack Jones

NCAA-B \| Mar 13 Rhode Island vs. Temple	Temple -3½-110 at SPBOOK	Started
Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Temple -3.5 Temple is far and away the best team in the Atlantic-10 conference and they prove it again Saturday with a big win over Rhode Island in the Semifinals. The Owls won both meeting with Rhode Island this season, winning by 22 at home and by 4 on the road. The Owls are 4-1 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings with Rhode Island. Dating back further, Temple is 19-6 SU & 17-8 ATS in their last 25 meetings. Temple is 7-0 ATS in conference tournament games over the last 3 seasons. This play also falls under a system that is 44-15 (75%) since 1997. It tells us to bet against neutral court teams (RHODE ISLAND) - a good offensive team (74-78 PPG) against an excellent defensive team (<=63 PPG), after leading their last 3 games by 5+ points at the half. Take Temple. SOLID 21-12 (64%) NCAA Basketball Run! Jack has one play Saturday on ESPN that you simply have to get your hands on! It's his *20 Big East Championship No-Brainer going in the Georgetown/West Virginia clash! He is also riding a HOT 9-2 (82%) NBA Run and Sunday he releases his 15* NBA Total DOMINATOR** on an over/under that is too good to be true! The final score of this contest won't finish within 10 points of tonight's posted total!

Jeff Alexander

NBA \| Mar 13 Denver Nuggets vs. Memphis Grizzlies	Total 214 un-110 at SPBOOK	> 1h.
Free Play for March 13, 2010 1 Unit on Nuggets/Grizzlies UNDER 214 Bottom Line: Denver isn't nearly the same offensive juggernaut on the road that it is at home. In fact, the Nuggets are averaging just 102.6 ppg on the road, 5 points below their season average. And Memphis is only scoring 100.7 ppg at home. With this in mind, I'd say we're getting some pretty good value with the Under with this line. The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Memphis and 7-2 in the last 9 meetings overall. The Under is also 4-0 in the Nuggets' last 4 road games and 20-6 in the Grizzlies' last 26 games as a home underdog of 4.5 or fewer points. We'll take the Under.

Black Widow

NCAA-B \| Mar 13 Minnesota vs. Purdue	Purdue -3-110 at BODOG	Started
Widow's CBB Free Pick Saturday: 1* on Purdue -3 Purdue made easy work of Northwestern Friday, while Minnesota needed overtime to get by Michigan State. That win took a lot out of the Gophers, and we don't think they'll have enough left in the tank to compete with Purdue Saturday. The Gophers are 7-19 ATS (-13.9 Units) in road games off an upset win as an underdog since 1997. Purdue has won all 4 meetings with Minnesota over the last 3 seasons. Minnesota is 4-12 ATS (-9.2 Units) in road games versus good defensive teams - shooting pct defense of <=42% over the last 2 seasons. Minnesota comes out sluggish after a huge upset win over the Spartans. Take Purdue and lay the points.

Jimmy Boyd

NCAA-B \| Mar 13 Georgetown vs. West Virginia	West Virginia -2-110 at BETUS	> 2h.
FREE PLAY 1 Unit on West Virginia -2 Georgetown has looked unstoppable thus far in the Big East Tournament while WVU has just squeaked by. However, this will be Georgetown's 4th game in as many days so the Mountaineers should have the big edge in terms of fresh legs. While I won't doubt that the heart will be there, I just don't think the Hoyas will have enough left down the stretch to get the job done. WVU is very sound defensively, and that's a big reason why it has won its last two games against Georgetown by 17 and 13 points respectively while holding the Hoyas to an average of just 63 points in those games. Plus, the Mountaineers want this one every bit as bad as the Hoyas. Just ask star forward Da'Sean Butler. "It's tremendous, I've been here a number of times. We've been to the semifinals pretty much every year but my freshman year," Butler said. "... We can't blow this opportunity. I'm looking forward to this game tomorrow really bad. West Virginia is yet to play its best ball in this tournament and yet it has continued to advance. I expect the Mountaineers to save their best game for last against a tired Georgetown team. Lay the small number.

NBA | Mar 13
New Jersey Nets vs. Houston Rockets

New Jersey Nets
+9½-110 at BOOKM

> 2h.

Ryan has posted a 20-11 ATS mark for 65% winners. His extensive research has identified another 15* Conference Game of the Month. This play is the SWAC edition and features all of the data, info, + a strong proven system hitting 75% ATS winners. The matchup analysis shows you why he is expecting a blowout.

5* graded play on New Jersey as they take on Houston set to start at 8:35 EST. Our proprietary sports handicapping model and simulator shows a high probability that NJ will lose this game by fewer than 8 points. Supporting this graded play is a system that has produced a record of 48-22 ATS for 69% winners since 2004. Play on any team that is a poor offensive team scoring between 88-92 PPG and facing a poor defensive team allowing 98-102 PPG and after a loss by 6 points or less. NJ is playing better as evidenced by covering 5 straight games. At least better than the public believed to be possible. I mentioned this over the past several weeks in the EDGE article and continue to believe that somehow they will get to 10 wins. NJ is also a perfect Play On - Any team (NEW JERSEY) - a poor offensive team (88-92 PPG) against a poor defensive team (98-102 PPG), after a loss by 6 points or less. Houston HC Aldeman is just 33-54 ATS (-26.4 Units) after 2 straight games being called for 5+ less fouls than opponent in all games he has coached since 1996. We also like a 1* amount on the money currently listed at +500 at most sports book venues. Take NJ.

Ryan’s last BIG East 15* Titan was just this week when he correctly identified Georgetown to not only win ATS, but also SU. Briefly, he likes this play even better and has all of the research as to WHY he strongly believes this will be an easy winner. Featured is a proven system + meaningful situational data.

Craig Trapp

NCAA-B \| Mar 13 Illinois vs. Ohio State	Illinois +7½-110 at BOOKM	Started
Another great day for Craig on FRI 3-1 overall including a 2-1 CBB day taking Craig's CBB hot streak to 6-3 the L3 days. Today three more 5 star plays: NBA TOTAL of WEEK, CBB Smash of Day, and Late night CBB Winner! 529 Illinois +7: Too many points here for a team that has to win this game. Also OSU is not going to gain much even by winning the Big Ten tourney. Turner is the key for OSU and we are going to need huge effort by ILL to stop him. McCamey for ILL can dominate a game by both scoring and his playmaking. He will carry ILL to an upset or a near upset but either way covering the number. Enjoy!

Game 508 at 8:35 eastern. The Spurs are backed with the big 16-1 ats system above that wins by an average 19 points per game. The Only reason keeping this game from late phone status is the line. This game opened up at 10 late last night and has shot up to -12, which is a little too high. However I have no problem making the Spurs a 1 unit free play at -12. For the system what we want to do is play on home favorites of -10 or more with no rest, off a game where they were a road favorite with 1 or more prior days rest vs an opponent off a road game also with 1 or more days prior rest. If the posted total is 190 or more these unrested home favorites win by an average 109-90 score and have covered 16 of the 17 times since 1995. The Spurs are 23-1 straight up against the Clippers and have won and covered the last 7 in the series. All road teams going into San Antonio this year on the road with no rest are 0-4 losing by an average 17 points per game. Hve some fun with the Spurs tonight for a unit at -12 or less. Check out the BIG 6* CONF.Tourney Game of the Year tonight backed with a 96% Tournament system. RV

NCAA-B \| Mar 13 Minnesota vs. Purdue	Total 126 un-110 at BETUS	Started
On Saturday the Free NCAAB Tourney play is on the Under in the Minnesota and Purdue game. Rotation numbers 531/2 at 4:05 eastern. This series has been dominated by games that have played under the total the past few years. In fact 11 of the last 12 have stayed under. The Golden Gophers, playing very well in this tournament thus fars have gone under in 7 of the last 8 games vs winning teams. Purdue, adapting to life without their star player has not been as diffcult as one would have thought. The Boilermakers also have played under seven of eight times vs winning teams. Look for this one to be a highly contested lower scoring contest, resulting in an under. On The Saturday card I have the Conference Tournament GOY backed with a 96% system, and 2 big power angles. In the NBA I have a big 5* from a solid 15-system and 3 power angles. For the free play on Saturday take the Under in the Minnesota/ Purdue game. RV

Matt Fargo

NBA \| Mar 13 New York Knicks vs. Dallas Mavericks	New York Knicks +11-110 at BODOG	> 2h.
Dallas made it 12 straight wins with a come-from-behind win over New Jersey on Wednesday as it survived another win, no cover at home. The Mavericks host the Knicks Saturday which looks like another pushover but I have a feeling New York is not going to go away easily here. The first meeting this season has something to do with that as the Knicks were absolutely embarrassed in that game on January 24th as Dallas went into MSG and built a 53-point lead before “holding on” to win it by an even 50 points. Games decided by margins like that are obviously rare in the NBA as even the bad teams are not that bad but that first meeting simply got out of control. Egos were bruised and feelings got hurt and Knicks players have not forgotten about it. With the way Dallas is playing and with the Knicks on a current 7-22 run, we have a big line and one that is filled with value. The Knicks have been big underdogs on the road of late when playing the better teams in the league and this number didn’t stray from that. Dallas can take this game one of two ways. First, it can come in pretty motivated as it will know that the Knicks are going to be after some payback. Second, it can come in lethargic and with a lack of focus knowing what happened the first time. It is hard to predict what the mental state will be but I do know that New York will be more fired up for this one than the Mavericks will be and we all know how motivation plays such a large part in the NBA. A big problem with Dallas, if you can even say the second best team in the Western Conference has problems, is that it cannot put teams away at home. The Mavericks are a horrible 8-24 ATS at home including a 7-24 ATS mark as home favorites. They win but they don’t win big. Road revenge is a tough angle in the NBA but there are exceptions and this one certainly fits. *3 New York Knicks Matt took a hit with Oklahoma City who could not hold a big lead on the Nets. It has been another SENSATIONAL year as he is on current runs of 20-15-1 ATS (57.1%) and 75-58-3 ATS (56.4%)!** His 10* ENFORCER run has solidified his BIG GAME prowess as he is a SIZZLING 14-8 ATS (63.6%) in his last 22 ENFORCER Reports! Winner #15 tonight! The MASSIVE run is extended Saturday!
