My feeling with these 2 teams is to take the underdog, as you simply can't trust the favorite to cover the spread.
This is especially true with West Virginia, as the are just 2-4 against the spread this season, failing 3 of 5 as the favorite. The Mountaineers have also lost 2 of the last 3 to the Bulls, failing ALL 3 against the spread.
I know South Florida has been a bust, especially coming off back-to-back conference losses in which they were blasted, but that makes them quite a dangerous home dog here, as I would think that the Bulls would want to show both themselves and the Mountaineers they are better than their recent results have shown.
South Florida is 7-4 against the spread their last 11 as an underdog, and I like them to make it 8-4 after tonight's cover.
Take the Bulls plus the points.
10 DIMER - ORLANDO MAGIC
Orlando sure looked sharp in dumping the 76ers the other night, now it is Vince Carter's return to New Jersey that will be front-and-center for this game, and expect the Magic and Carter to get the better of the young, and rebuilding Nets.
Orlando is 6-2 straight up the last 8 series meetings, and the favorite is 8-3 against the spread the last 11 tilts between the teams.
Magic feel that have some "unfinished business" after falling the NBA Finals last season, and I expect them to be some tough customers early in this season.
Karl Garrett 10/30
