820 Indiana -7.5 (-110) Bookmaker.com vs 819 Michigan

Analysis: Hate laying points, but with Michigan not having either Walton or LeVert, Indiana should crush them. First off, if for no other reason than the fact that the Hoosiers will run, and Michigan is almost as inexperienced as Indiana and without those two, probably just too thin off the bench to keep up for 40 minutes. For as young as Indiana is, they don't turn the ball over. Michigan, even with a full compliment of players, relies almost entirely on the three ball, which Indiana defends well. Yes, perhaps all this is built into the number, but it should matter. Albrecht and Irvin can't win the game alone. Their only road wins even with a healthy team were at Penn State (who can't score) and Rutgers (who can't score). Indiana can, and will actually be favored in all the rest of their games except at Maryland. So, they could easily wind up the #2 or #3 seed in the Conference Tournament. They let Iowa shoot 70% last game, and before that were taken to OT by the Spartans. They've got to be tired and, well, thinking about next year, IMO. Not even a good coach can get past that, and I think Bellien is a better recruiter than a coach. Hoosiers haven't lost at home since the Eastern Washington game in November. Spartans haven't defended the perimeter well this season, and if they get in ANY sort of foul trouble, this is a boatrace. A much better Michigan team lost in Bloomington by 11 or so last year, and in the Big Ten teams tend to pour it on when they can. Michigan doesn't rebound well at all, meaning every missed three is a potental fast break. I'd love to take the inflated line, but I can. Love to have had +7, but I don't. I'd use them in a ML parlay for sure.

836 Boise St. 0.0 (-110) Bookmaker.com vs 835 San Diego St.

Analysis: You may be able to get +1 tomorrow. I hate the Aztecs on the road, at least not to shut people down with their defense like they might at home. The lost at Fresno and at Colorado State, two teams that aren't Boise State. They just had a physical, two point win at Nevada. Boise's only home loss was to Wyoming. Boise can shoot over SDSU's defense, they're very expereinced, and they shoot FT's well. Tney don't typically turn the ball over, and of course know what SDSU will do, having lost to them last year twice, by two and by three points. Aztecs don't have Thames, who was a threat from anywhere. Shepard and O'Brien for SDSU have had to play a ton of minutes, and I like Boise's upper-classmen backcourt against the pressure. The home team that knows they can win, played the better (#1) schedule in the Conference, and in what will be a low scoring/close game, has more ways to win, and they're #2 in the Conference in steals. That also means a few extra possessions, so we've got every reason to assume the Broncos win the game.

STRIKE POINT SPORTS (SOCCER)
8-Unit Play. Take Sampdoria (-120) over Sassuolo (9 a.m., Sunday, February 8) (Italy Serie A)
Note: This play is two-way betting. A ‘Draw’ is graded as a loss.
It’s been a surprise season for the Genoa-based club in Italy’s top flight. So far this Serie A campaign Sampdoria have impressed to the tune of a fifth place standing in the current table. Having finished the 2013-14 season in 12th place, this is an impressive leap up thus far, and momentum is riding high for the club looking to clinch a place in Europe for next season. But what makes us especially keen on this match-up is i Blucerchiati in need of a bounce back performance after undoubtedly their worst loss of the league campaign this past weekend away to Torino. But home cooking should have Sampdoria right back to their winning ways, so far undefeated in ten home matches in Serie A play. This week also allows for new transfer Samuel Eto’o further training sessions to better get adjusted following his move from English side Everton during the January transfer window. The Cameroon striker made his debut as a substitute last week, and I think it sets up nicely to earn the start in front of his new home supporters today. Sassoulo have allowed the second most goals of any club this season away with 21 conceeded goals from their eleven away matches. Eto’o will get his chances to open his Sampdoria account throughout this match. Sampdoria have netted 15 times at home compared to just eight allowed, and I think a solid performances awaits in this fixture. The home team respond with a quality victory and three points toward their European ambitions, 2-0 to Sampdoria.
Best of Luck – Strike Point Sports
