5 Unit Play. #825. Northwestern +8 over Michigan (Sunday @ 2:30pm est).

This is a game that Northwestern can legitimately win outright. This Northwestern team has only lost three ballgames all year and they come to the likes of Michigan State, Illinois in overtime on the road and to Butler at home. This team has beaten the likes of Notre Dame by double-digits on neutral footing, Iowa State, NC State, Stanford, and in a low scoring conference games such as this one, I believe the eight points will become very significant. After all, getting eight points on a total of 128.5 is very appealing and this team returns a great deal of talent and this team is likely going to be the first team in its school history to reach the Dance this year. This team is 0-2 in conference play and desperately needs this game here and even if they do not win it, I still like their chances to stay inside the number and cover the spread. The Wildcats of Northwestern are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games, 4-0 in their last four road games as Underdogs and the Wolverines of Michigan are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a favorite.

4 Unit Play. Take the Washington Wizards +1 over the New Orleans Hornets (Sunday @ 1pm est). The Wizards came together in their last game without Arenas and they will do the same today. Remember, teams always come together during adversity. This can be said about the Vols in their last game, or when Chris Paul when he went out with the Hornets and so on. I foresee the Wizards coming together with their team and Randy Foye playing more of a role in this team's offense. Heck, the Wizards could let go of Gilbert when all is said and done as they will notice this team will play drastically without him with Caron Butler as this team's leader along with Jamison. Besides, with nearly 70% riding New Orleans I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the public gets buried here a bid and the home team gets the win with the dog tag. The Hornets have not done well against teams with a winning percentage of less than .400 as they are 0-6 ATS against them. Note that the Underdog is 5-2 ATS over their last seven games as well.

4 Unit Play. #806. Take the LA Clippers -1 over the Miami Heat (Sunday @ 3:30pm est). The Clips have been a team I have been high on all year. Heck, my 6 Unit future on this team for the over of 34.5 wins and they continue to roll as they are around .500 thus far. This team just beat the Lakers, Boston and Portland (a team that also recently beat the Lakers). The Clippers are a different beast at home as they are 5-0 ATS of late and they are picking up steam at the right time right now with the likes of Gordon, Davis, Kaman, Camby and Butler as this team is healthy and consequently, they are playing much better. Note that the Clippers are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games as a favorite and the Heat are 3-7 ATS when they face a team with a straight up losing record. I also like the Heat to have a let down as they come off a big road win over the Suns in their most recent game.
Good luck,
