SE Missouri St. +7.5
Thu Jan 17 ‘08 8:30p
Southeast Missouri is 11-7 overall and 6-2 in the Ohio Valley Conference notching wins against Tennessee State, Tennessee Tech and Eastern Kentucky and road wins over Samford, Jacksonville State and Eastern Illinois. They beat their hosts tonight Tennessee State by a 102-95 count the last time they played earlier this season at home, and looked the superior team in that tilt, and despite of being without senior forward Brandon Foust(injury) , this deep Redhawks team, looks like solid underdogs against a inconsistent host that is just is 6-10 overall and 3-4 in the OVC. Note: Southeast is one of six teams in NCAA Division I to have 10 or more players score in double figures this season. Play on SE Missouri State

Wright State @ Illinois Chicago o130.5
Thu Jan 17 ‘08 8:00p
Both of these teams are in midst of technical trends which should produce an over: Wright State in all games that have had totals this season is 9-4 over; and vs a winning opponent, the over percentage even goes up: 8-2, 80% Illinois-Chicago has been a consistent over-performer at home, going above the number 28 of their last 42 home games. SO, IN THIS 800PM EST GAME, GO OVER THE SHORT LINE OF 130.5.

Edmonton Oilers (130)
Thu Jan 17 ‘08 7:05p
However, we feel that this line is an over-adjustment with the Edmonton Oilers holding all the value. The Capitals are 5-2 over their last seven games, impressively scoring 29 goals over this stretch, and they just completed an implausible four-game season sweep of the first-place Ottawa Senators Tuesday. However, that may create a letdown situation here, and remember that they recently lost second leading scorer Michael Nylander for the season to shoulder surgery. They managed to upset the Senators without Nylander, but his absence does figure to be felt here. The Oilers now have one fewer sniper to worry about, and they have been playing excellent defense lately, allowing a grand total of eight goals in the last five games, four of them victories. We look for them to frustrate the Capitals here with their tight checking, and remember that Edmonton is accustomed to playing high-powered offenses coming out of the stronger Western Conference. They say that good defense stops good offense, and at this price, we are willing to put that theory to the test. NHL Free Pick: Oilers +130
 
Kent State +3.0 (-110)
Thu Jan 17 ‘08 7:30p
Even though the Miami-Ohio Redhawks are the home team here, we do not feel they deserve to be favored over the Kent State Golden Flashes. Kent State is a nice 13-3 on the season, and the are already 2-0 inside the MAC. The Flashes have won 10 of their last 11 games, with the only loss during this stretch coming vs. the top-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels on the road! The are also 4-0 against the spread in the last four head-to-head meetings between these schools. While Kent State comes in on a roll, Miami Ohio has lost four straight games both straight up and ATS. The Redhawks are 0-2 in the conference, and they have now fallen to two games under .500 overall at 6-8. Granted, this is there first home game after playing five straight on the road, but that may not be enough to overcome the talent advantage that Kent Stats owns here. We look for Kent to improve to 3-0 in the conference with the mild road upset. CBB Free Pick: Kent State +3
