The biggest betting event of the college football season is knocking at your door. It’s the BCS Championship Game between the No. 1 Florida Gators (that’s No. 1 on the AP poll) and the No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners, the last and by far the most important of the 34 bowl games this year.
Not much was expected of Michigan this season, but this team busted out fast, winning games against UCLA and Duke in the first month of the campaign. Of course, that’s not the kind of thing that guarantees success in the Big Ten, as Wisconsin was quick to remind them a week ago when they came to Ann Arbor and left with a 73-61 victory.
Duke has had a hot hand lately, shooting 52% against NC-Asheville, 52.5% against Xavier and 54.5% against Loyola. Against Virginia Tech in its last outing, though, the Blue Devils hit less than 41% of their shots. They won the game with defense, holding the Hokies to just 13 points and 33% shooting in the second half.

The Cleveland Cavaliers (27-6 SU, 23-10 ATS, 15-18 O/U) have dropped two of their last three overall, including an 80-77 loss to the Washington Wizards on Sunday in which they failed to cover the spread as a 9-point road favorite in the BetUS Sportsbook.
The Orlando Magic (27-8 SU, 22-12-1 ATS, 15-20 O/U) bounced back nicely from a defeat their last time out to beat the lowly Washington Wizards 89-80 on Tuesday night.
