Reason: The Washington Wizards enter into this tilt against the red hot Houston Rockets off back to back wins vs the Charlotte Bobcats and the New Orleans Hornets. They won those tilts against the Hornets despite of playing without Caron Butler and Gilbert Arenas. The Wizards have proved on numerous occasions that they own a cohesive bench that is able to play with heart and determination, making them a good bet as double digit underdogs in this spot, against a Houston team that is perceived to be superior. Final notes & Key Trends: The Wizards have covered 5 straight as road dogs and are 21-7 ATS L28 away as a dog of 6.5 to 12 points. Play on the Wizards cover

Boston College +5.5 (-110)

Neither the Boston College Eagles nor the Virginia Tech Hokies are going to the NCAA Tournament this season unless they upset the apple cart in the ACC Tournament, but we do expect a tight battle here, giving the underdog Eagles value at this price.

Yes, Boston College has won just once in nine games, but at least the Eagles have been competitive while going 3-1 against the spread in the last three games, and their last two road efforts have been nice covers at Duke and Florida State. They should also be motivated by revenge here, as they lost 81-73 at home in overtime to the Hokies last month, so they would love to return the favor here in Blacksburg.

On the other hand, we feel that 16-11 Virginia Tech will have a difficult time getting excited about the Eagles, as they are coming off of an upset win at Maryland and a revenge win vs. Georgia Tech, and they have another revenge game vs. Wake Forest up next. Tonight seems like the dead spot in this stretch of games, especially since the Hokies beat BC earlier.

As a result, we see this game going down to the final buzzer with an outright upset not out of the question.
