20 DIMER - VCU RAMS....10 DIMER - DETROIT PISTONS 20 DIMER - VCU RAMS

The Patriots were extended in yesterday's semis, as Towson gave them all they could handle before bowing. No doubt George Mason would love to avenge not only their regular season loss to the Rams, but also a loss in this game to VCU back in 2007, 65-59 that keep the Patriots from the Big Dance.

It just looks to me like the Rams have the Pats number, as VCU has won 3 straight, and 4 of the last 5 straight up, covering in 3 of those 5.

The Rams have covered 9 of their last 13 neutral site games, and they are also 6-2 against the spread the last 8 in the series.

G-Man lays the points in the Colonial Final tonight.

The Hornets have gotten hot since the return of Tyson Chandler and they'll look to keep it rolling tonight as they head to Atlanta. New Orleans is obviously in better form right now than the Hawks, and they will also be out to avenge a loss to this team the last time they hooked up. The number looks cheap, so I'll lean to the Hornets to stay hot with another win and cover tonight.

A tough situational spot for the visitors, playing their third game in four nights. It's also the second of a back to back road spot, after a huge win at Boston Sunday. Meanwhile, the rejuvenated Pistons are rested and ready, on a 4-2 SU, 5-1 ATS run. Their scoring has been balanced: The last game Richard Hamilton led the Pistons with 20 points, Rodney Stuckey added 19 and Rasheed Wallace had 14. They have been clicking offensively with Hamilton starting and back as the focal point of the offense. Play the Pistons.
