College Basketball Play of the Day for 2/12/12

Michigan

The best college basketball game on the slate for today has to be Illinois visiting Michigan.

This game features two of the upper echelon temas in the Big 10. 

Michigan comes in at 18-7 and a perfect 13-0 at home.  Illinois, 16-8 faces a tough task as they try to get in the discussion for a NCAA tournament bid. 

If Illinois was getting more points, I would like them.  They are only getting 6 points on the road and they aren't a great road team or a road dog.

Michigan is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 home games.

Take Michigan and give the 6.

College Football Play of the Day for 10/29/11: Indiana

I must be nuts taking the Hoosiers, but with the streak I'm in, maybe a crappy team can pull me out of the crapper.

Indiana (1-7) plays host to a disappointing Northwestern team (2-7).  Both teams are on a 5-game losing streak.  I'm not going to look at any trends or ATS numbers for this one.

What I'm looking at is Indiana getting 9 points at home.  These teams have played close games for the last 8 years and this is a good play based on that.  9 points at home, I like it.

Take the Hoosiers and the points.
