The UCLA Bruins (19-4) look for their 5th straight win and cover on Thursday night, but it won’t be easy against their Pac-10 rivals, the Arizona State Sun Devils.
UCLA has parlayed their winning streak into the # 11 ranking in the AP and 6th in the ESPN coaches poll. It’s a little surprising that the AP sportswriters have them ranked that much lower, and the Bruins will be looking to send a message.
The Wisconsin Badgers have been burying their backers lately with an 0-5-1 ATS record heading into tonight’s home tilt against Illinois.
The Badgers ATS freefall has also coincided with a six-game losing streak that has them in jeopardy of missing their first NCAA tournament since 1998, before the Bo Ryan era.
The Minnesota Golden Gophers could be the hottest bet that nobody knows about.
Emerging as one of the most surprising stories of the year, Minnesota is on an 8-2 run against the spread (ATS) and has a victory over Big East powerhouse, #9 Louisville, under their belt already.
