St John’s +5.0 (-110) – Sat Dec 27 ’08 12:00p
The Miami Hurricanes are off to a 7-3 start while facing a touch schedule, but it is never easy to go into Madison Square Garden and laying this many points vs. the St. Johns Red Storm.

This is especially true this season, as the Red Storm are 9-2 in their own right, albeit vs. a much softer schedule than Miami. The Johnnies also have revenge on their minds after getting blown out 66-47 by the Hurricanes in Miami last season. They are also 8-1 straight up at home this year, with those games split between the Garden and Carneseca Arena, making them dangerous as home underdogs.

Now while the Canes have faced a tougher slate, they did lose to probably the three best teams they have faced (Connecticut, Ohio State, Clemson), while their most notable win was probably over Kentucky, which is not really substantially better than St. Johns this season. They have also had some defensive breakdowns this year, such as in their 91-72 home loss to Clemson on Sunday, so the Red Storm could exploit them while feeding off the energy of the Garden crowd.

All things considered, we give St. Johns a nice chance to win the game straight up.
