A super college basketball matchup is on tap for Tuesday as North Carolina hosts Michigan State in a rematch of last April’s NCAA championship game. It is definitely a revenge game of sorts for Michigan State since the Spartans did not play well in the title game last year. “It should be a revenge game,” Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo said. “When I say it’s a revenge game I mean any time you get embarrassed on the biggest stage you can play in, there’s got to be some revenge. I just hope we’re mature enough to say, more than revenge it’s about can you play well that next year? Can you play up to that competition?”

North Carolina is – 2 points favorite at SBG Global.

The Spartans come into this game ranked 9th in the country while North Carolina is ranked 11th. Both teams were in the Top 5 earlier this season but the Spartans lost to Florida while North Carolina was blown out by Syracuse. Michigan’s State loss doesn’t look so bad now that Florida is unbeaten and ranked in the Top 25 and even the North Carolina loss isn’t that bad considering Syracuse is rolling.

The Tar Heels have dominated this series against Michigan State of late, winning the last four games. They lead the all-time series 9-3. Here are more college basketball betting stats for Tuesday’s game. The Spartans are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 road games. The Spartans are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 non-conference games. The Spartans are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. the ACC. The Spartans are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings between the two teams.

The Tar Heels are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 vs. the Big Ten. The Tar Heels are 40-14 ATS in their last 54 non-conference games. The Tar Heels are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games. The favorite is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings between the two teams and the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 matchups between the Spartans and Tar Heels.

The Over is 5-1 in the Spartans last 6 overall. The Over is 5-1 in the Spartans last 6 non-conference games.

The last NCAA team to beat Memphis was UAB more than 2 two years ago. The Tigers have won 54 league games since. The Tigers come into Thursday’s game ranked #5 having won 18 straight games. To keep that streak going they will have to beat a UAB team that hasn’t lost at home this season. “When we’re on the court, I’ve known and played against those guys,” UAB guard Robert Vaden said. “There’s going to be some bad blood. There’s going to be some trash talk and all that stuff. What game isn’t there?
Off the court, we’re all OK. On the court, there’s no friends between Memphis and UAB.” College basketball online odds have the public taking Memphis on the Road.

College Basketball Betting Preview
Memphis (24-3) at UAB (19-8)
Thursday, 9:00 pm Eastern – ESPN 2

UAB has won 26 of their last 27 home games with the only loss coming 79-78 last year against Memphis in a game in which UAB’s Lawrence Kinnard hit a shot at the end of the game that was ruled to have come just after the buzzer. Memphis came from behind in the last minute to win that game last season. The Blazers would definitely like a little revenge. “I don’t think there is bad blood between the two teams,” UAB coach Mike Davis said. “I think it is more of the fact we are trying to close the gap between Memphis and the rest of the league. And I think Memphis knows we are closing the gap. Until you win on a consistent basis you can’t close the gap.”

The NCAA matchup on Thursday pits UAB’s shooting against the defense of Memphis. Vaden leads the league in made 3-pointers for UAB but Memphis has a defense that shuts teams down. “We’re really excited,” Vaden said. “This is a chance for us to get a statement win. Everybody’s looking forward to this one, all our fans, everyone in the community. We’re going to come out and play our hardest and of course come out with a win.”

Here are the College Basketball betting stats for Thursday’s game. The Tigers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The Tigers are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 Thursday games.

The Blazers are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 Thursday games. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings between the two teams.

NFL Playoff Schedule

Atlanta Falcons (11-5) at Arizona Cardinals (9-7)
Saturday, 4:30 pm Eastern – NBC

The Cardinals had three receivers go over 1,000 yards this season, Larry Fitzgerald (1,431), Anquan Boldin (1,038) and Steve Breaston (1,006). It was only the fifth time in NFL history a trio of teammates all went over the 1,000 yard mark.

Arizona was 6-2 at home this season. It is the first home playoff game for the Cardinals since they were in Chicago back in 1947. Atlanta is 1-5 all-time at Arizona.

Alabama was just a quarter away from playing in the BCS Title game but blew a 20-17 to Florida, losing the SEC Championship game last month 31-20. Now Alabama must get motivated to play an unbeaten Utah team in the Sugar Bowl on Friday.  Alabama has had a lot of success in the Sugar Bowl, going 8-4 all-time. The Crimson Tide has 31 bowl victories in their history and that leads the country. SBG Global reports that early College Football betting has the public taking Alabama at Home.

Utah has also been very good in bowl games going 10-3 including wins in their last six. They won the 2005 Fiesta Bowl against Pittsburgh that completed an unbeaten season. The Utes have been even better this season, ranking 6th in the College Football betting BCS standings.

NCAA Sugar Bowl Schedule

Utah (12-0) vs. Alabama (12-1)
Friday, 8:15 pm Eastern – FOX

Sugar Bowl betting lines: Alabama – 10 , Total 44.5

Utah has the nation’s longest winning streak at 13 games but they are big betting underdogs against what is considered a superior Alabama team. The Crimson Tide averaged 31.2 points and 196.5 rushing yards per game this season but those numbers are likely to drop considering they will be missing left tackle, Andre Smith who is an All-American. Smith was suspended for violating team rules and will miss the game. His absence could be a problem considering running back Glen Coffee and quarterback John Parker Wilson need help to make plays. If Wilson gets time to throw he usually finds freshman Julio Jones who had 51 catches, 847 yards and four TDs thi season.

Sugar Bowl betting lines: Alabama – 9.5 , Total 44.5

Friday’s game could be a defensive struggle considering the Tide ranked third in the country, allowing 256.9 yards per game. Utah’s offense was 15th in the country in scoring at 37.4 points per game but they haven’t played a defense like Alabama’s. Utah’s defense was not that far behind Alabama’s, ranking 12th in the country in scoring defense at 17.3 points per game.

Utah and Alabama have never met in their history. Utah is 0-6 all-time against SEC teams.

It is time for outdoor NHL hockey again on Thursday, this time from historic Wrigley Field in Chicago as the Blackhawks play the Detroit Red Wings. The NHL has tried this outdoor experiment twice in the past and the ratings and the interest has been excellent. The first game was played in Edmonton back in 2003 when over 51,000 fans saw the Oilers play the Montreal Canadiens. The other matchup was last year in Buffalo at Ralph Wilson Stadium as Sidney Crosby scored in overtime to give the Penguins the win over the Sabres. An NHL-record crowd of 71,217 was on hand for the game played in the snow. It was the highest rated regular season game in the U.S. since 1996.

Detroit routed Chicago 4-0 at home on Tuesday. Goaltender Ty Conklin got the shutout and he will get the start on Thursday. Coincidently, Conklin was in goal in the previous two outdoor games. He was with the Oilers in 2003 and with the Penguins last year.
“I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. Both team realize the importance of it,” Conklin said. “It’s more than a run of the mill regular-season game.”

Here are the Hockey betting stats for Thursday’s game. The Red Wings are 38-16 in their last 54 overall. The Red Wings are 1-5 in their last 6 road games. The Red Wings are 9-4 in the last 13 meetings in Chicago

Two Top 25 teams with potent offenses get together on Monday as 22nd ranked Northwestern faces 25th ranked Missouri.  Northwestern (9-4) vs. Missouri (9-3) Monday, 8:00 pm Eastern – ESPN.  The Tigers had what could be considered a disappointing season considering they expected to be playing in a BCS bowl game this season. Quarterback Chase Daniel and receiver Jeremy Maclin had good years but the Tigers defense was a sieve, giving up a ton of points. Missouri was ranked as high as #3 this season but lost four of their last eight games including the Big 12 title game to Oklahoma. “It’s going to sting for a while and why wouldn’t it?” Daniel said, “But we can finish off in style. When was the last time a Missouri team won 10 games back-to-back in history? Never. We still have a chance to make history.”

SBG Global College Football betting has the public taking Missouri at Home.

Northwestern enters the bowl game with a much better frame of mind. Nothing was expected of the Wildcats but they surprised everyone to finish 9-3, including winning their finale against Illinois 27-10. “To be at nine wins right now with an opportunity for number ten, the opportunity to achieve our main goal this year – to win a bowl game – is all right here in front of us,” said head coach Pat Fitzgerald. Northwestern has not won a bowl game since 1949. “I think, if anything, (the bowl drought) will provide a little extra motivation,” senior quarterback C.J. Bacher said. “At the beginning of the year we set out to win a bowl game and we’ve put ourselves in a position to do that.”

SBG Global Current Line: Missouri – 12.5, Total 66.5

Northwestern and Missouri are playing for the first time since 1987. The all-time series is tied at 4-4. Here are more College Football betting stats for Monday’s game. The Wildcats are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 non-conference games.

Miami Dolphins (10-5) at New York Jets (9-6) Sunday, 4:15 pm Eastern – CBS

The Miami Dolphins and  Chad Pennington are one victory away from winning the AFC East and it is only fitting that the game would be in New York against Pennington’s old team the New York Jets and against the quarterback who replaced him, Brett Favre. SBG Global reports that early NFL online betting odds has the public taking Jets at Home.

If the Dolphins get a victory they can will win the AFC East just a year after going 1-15. It has been an unbelievable turnaround under vice president Bill Parcells and head coach Tony Sparano. Leading the way for the Dolphins has been Pennington who was cast aside by the Jets for Favre. That decision doesn’t look very good now since Pennington’s Dolphins can clinch the division with a win while Favre’s Jets have collapsed and now need help to make the playoffs.

The Jets can still make the playoffs but they need to beat the Dolphins and have Buffalo upset New England. They could also make the playoffs as a Wild Card if they win and Baltimore loses at home against Jacksonville.

New York won the first matchup between the two teams 20-14 but Pennington nearly led the Dolphins to the game winning touchdown in the final seconds.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors play the back end of their home-and-home series tonight in Golden State with the Lakers trying to bounce back from last night’s 115-111 defeat.  The Warriors had a huge 26 point lead in the third quarter last night but the Lakers came all the way back to take the lead in the fourth quarter.  The Warriors though got two big three-pointers by Stephen Jackson late to win. Kobe Bryant had 36 points to lead the Lakers, 27 of those in the second half.  Jackson had 31 points to lead Golden State. “I hated that it came down to that,” Jackson said. “I think we got a little too complacent with that lead. We should have known Kobe was going to come back and take over and bring his team back. The biggest thing was in the third quarter we walked the ball up and they ran. And we got the lead by running. But we found a way to win. That shows the growth of this team from last year. It was ugly, but it was still a win.” SBGGlobal reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Lakers on the Road.

The win by the Warriors was their 10th in 14 games and kept them 1.5 games ahead of Denver for the last playoff spot in the Western Conference. The loss snapped the Lakers nine game home winning streak against Golden State.  The Warriors have not swept a home-and-home series against the Lakers since the 1975-76 season. “It’s really hard in the NBA to beat a team twice in a row, especially the Lakers, so we have to be on our A-game, we can’t have letdowns like we did (Sunday),” Jackson said.  Lakers’ center Pau Gasol did not play on Sunday and will not play tonight.  He may return later this week.

If Houston wins as expected at home on Wednesday against Indiana they will be coming into Dallas on a 16 game winning streak.  That is where they streak may stop since the Mavericks have the second best home record in the NBA at 25-3.  What will help the Rockets is that Dallas forward Dirk Nowitzki will not play on Thursday as he will be serving a one game suspension for his flagrant foul against Utah’s Andrei Kirilenko on Monday. SBGGlobal reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Rockets on the Road.

Dallas has been playing the top teams in the Western Conference tough but has nothing to show for it except losses.  Dallas had fourth quarter leads against San Antonio, the Lakers and Utah, but lost all three games.  “It’s obviously a little frustrating,” Dirk Nowitzki said. “We’d love to win those games.”  The Mavericks have a favorable schedule this month.  They play nine of their next ten games at home.
