*CBB(1u): Penn State -5.5(-110) vs Minnesota–3 PM CT
Penn State matched up with Minnesota this past Saturday, with the home Gophers pulling out an impressive win late. Not only does that make this a quick revenge spot for Penn State, but the Nittany Lions are also riding high off of a home win against Michigan State just 2 nights ago. This is a horrible spot for Minnesota with this being their second straight road game; over their past 4 road games, the Gophers have lost all 4 by an average of 14 PPG, including a double-digit loss to lowly Nebraska in this same “2nd straight road game” spot. I like Penn State to build off of that Michigan State win and blow Minnesota out of the water today.
*ML Parlay(1u): Penn State, Nets(+120)–3 PM CT
Penn State explanation above.
The Nets seemed to be dead in the water against the Knicks last night before crawling all the way back from 20 points down to win it late. While this is a back-to-back for Brooklyn, Washington is also on a back-to-back and enter this game with the travel disadvantage. Without Bradley Beal in the lineup, this Wizards team is in total disarray. These teams met just last week, with the Wizards pulling out a 1 point home win. Since that last matchup, the Nets stock has been trending upwards, while the Wizards continue to be pathetic(lost @ Indiana last night). The Nets seem to have a new energy about them since trading James Harden, and I think they carry that momentum in from last night and put away the Wizards in this one.
