NBA - 515 New Orleans Hornets @ 516 Houston Rockets
These two teams have been constantly underperfoming the public’s expectations and that’s why we have such a low line in here. The Hornets are 5-0 Under on their last 5 games and the Rockets are 3-1 Under on their last 4 games. Both teams are coming from low scoring games last night, however that doesn’t mean this game will need to be a low scoring affair. Actually I think it’s going to be the opposite of that. The Rockets lost against the Spurs by 75-77 in a game which went exactly as I thought it would (I took Spurs +6). The Spurs tried to slow down the pace of the game as much as they could, get the game closer and then at a ballgame, any team could win and that’s how San Antonio won last night. Weirdly, the Rockets showed little aggressiveness last night, having just 11 FT attempts and half of the offensive boards the Spurs had (5 vs 10). We can say the Spurs wanted to win the game more than the Rockets and naturally I expect a bounce back from the Rockets today, with them coming to this game more aggressive and getting a lot more FT attempts.
On the other side, the Hornets are coming from a close win against the Blazers, in a game where for the first time this season Chris Paul had less than 20 points and 10 assists. The team was affected from their loss against the Lakers on their previous game and the important for them was just to win the game. Today the matchups against the Rockets favor the game to have a good number of points. I remember PG Rafer Alston is out for this game, so Aaron Brooks will start on his place. Brooks is talented guard, with an offensive mind, but against Chris Paul, he will struggle on… defense! CP3 had a bad performance last night and he will want to bounce back in here. On the other side, Tmac shot just 2-12 FG last night, in another poor performance from him. However, today the perspective of him shooting better are good, as he will face Morris Peterson and Peja Stajokovic, who are poor defenders. And even Yao Ming uses to have good performances against the Hornets and last season, in two games against the Hornets, he scored 28 and 30 points.
We are in front of a game with a totals line of 181 points, but with both teams ready to explode offensively. The Rockets will come fired up for today, with another level of aggressiveness and the Hornets have been averaging 101.6 ppg on the road. It will be enough for both teams to score a little bit more 90 points tonight for this game to go over the total posted. Take the over in here.

ASA 6.5-Star Top Game is taking @Oregon State -3 over California
California is coming off the biggest game of their season last week when they lost to USC. The USC-Cal rivalry has been heated in recent years and a win for Cal would’ve put them in a tie for first in the Pac-10. Cal’s offense couldn’t get anything going on offense as they were suffocated by the Trojans D for just 165 total yards! We expect more of a let-down this week from Cal as they travel to Oregon State in their second straight road game vs. a Beavers team that is VERY good at home; just ask USC. Oregon State has a great balance on offense, and it starts with RB Jacquizz Rodgers; Rodgers leads the team with 914 rushing yards, 349 receiving yards, and 11 total touchdowns. He even torched the 3rd best rush defense in the Nation (USC) for 186 yards and 2 touchdowns in their upset of the Trojans. This is bad news for Cal, who has given up 206 yards, and 173 yards in their past two games. Expect Rodgers to have a great game, and for the Beavers to run all over the Bearcats. As I mentioned before, Oregon State is a GREAT home team. The beavers are 12-1 SU and 10-3 ATS in their last 13. They are also arguably the hottest team in the NCAA right now, going 13-3 ATS in their last 16 overall. Oregon State is three Pac-10 wins away from being the conference champion and a likely trip to the Rose Bowl; they’ll start with an easy win at home on Saturday vs. an overrated California squad. Go with the Beavers.
