Wolfpack vs Blue Devils CBB Basketball Spread/Handicapping
Losses are losses but it should at least be noted that N.C. State’s 4 conference losses are by a total of just 7 points. Losing to Wake Forest was inexcusable this season but the others are acceptable, even if they do bury the Wolfpack in 5th place in the ACC.
Bears vs Cowboys CBB Basketball Spread/Handicapping
Colorado has to be one of the biggest disappointments in the nation. They should have beaten Arizona in their conference opener but when that didn’t go their way they struggled to recover.

Colorado
This is a golden opportunity to get some points for beating a ranked Oregon team that is probably not all that great. On the road Colorado has really struggled, even losing @ Utah the last time out.
Talent wise the Buffs are near the top of the league. They have a nice backcourt with Spencer Dinwiddie and Askia Booker and they have one of the best rebounders in the nation in Andre Roberson who averages a double-double. Freshman Josh Scott gives them a presence with his length and is becoming a more reliable scoring option. This team only goes 7 deep so when one of the key players is off they tend to really struggle.

Colorado is another one of those teams I like more than I really should. They surprised last year and I want them to do so again but the talent was better last year. Still they are a dangerous road underdog as they proved at Arizona already this season. With the Ducks wounded there is value there.
Oregon
The Ducks had a rough trip to Northern California losing at California and Stanford. [ad-6571516]
The losses dropped them into a tie with Arizona for the top spot in the PAC 12 and all the way to #19 in the rankings. Not only are they losing games but they have also lost point guard Dominic Artis to injury. For a team that relies on depth and balance his loss has been critical and you can see it in their recent play.
With Artis in the lineup the Ducks were focused on sharing the ball. All five of their starters averaged between 10 and 11.4 points per game led by guard Damyean Dotson. Sixth man, Arsalan Kazemi was leading in rebounds though – he just seems to have an uncanny knack for finding the ball off the rim. The last couple of games without Artis the offense has been way out of sync as they scored 54 and 52 points.
The Ducks have to decide when they are going to right their current slide. Returning home will help but I think they are going to have a very tough time with Colorado. It is hard to bet Oregon with much confidence right now. I think another upset is coming.
Spread Pick: Colorado +6
O/U Pick: Over
Score Prediction: Colorado 77- Oregon 73

The Montreal Canadiens will attempt to continue their stellar early season play at home on Wednesday night when they take on the Boston Bruins, a team that they have had all sorts of trouble with the past couple of seasons.
Cardinal vs Wildcats CBB Basketball Spread/Handicapping
The Cardinal are hanging in there in the PAC 12. They have a 5-4 conference record, winning, and losing, mostly when they should. Their best win to date was a home romp against an Oregon team that was ranked 10 at the time, mostly due to the strength of their win against a then undefeated Arizona.
Minnesota vs Michigan St. Betting!
Minnesota got over their 4-game losing streak, as they have won 2 straight, but if they lose this game they will only be .500 in Big 10 play.
Bears vs Cowboys CBB Basketball Spread/Handicapping
This is a huge one in the Big 12. Both teams are tied for 4th in the conference and looking to secure a spot in the Big Dance. OSU made a huge play by winning at Kansas and now Baylor can do the same by beating the Cowboys. It should be an exciting game in an exciting venue.
