Get ready for March Madness with our 2008 NCAAB daily gambling matchup previews, picks, and predictions. The FIU Golden Panthers play the Miami Hurricanes tonight, we preview and pick this game…

Surprising Miami Hurricanes Host Florida International

The Florida International Golden Panthers (4-5 SU, 1-5 ATS, 2-4 O/U) were routed the last time they took the court. The Miami Hurricanes (5-2 SU, 2-2 ATS, 2-2 O/U) are coming off an emphatic victory in their last contest.  

Tonight, both teams will both be gunning for a victory on Friday when they meet at BankUnited Center.

The Golden Panthers are coming off an emphatic 70-56 loss to Buffalo last Saturday, failing to cover the spread as an 11.5-point road underdog.

Tremayne Russell and Michael Dominguez each scored 13 points while Nikola Gacesa added 12 points and Freddy Aspirillaa, 10 points.

The Hurricanes nearly blew a 20 point lead against the Kentucky Wildcats, but managed to hold on for a 73-67 victory on Saturday, covering the spread for BetUS NCAA college basketball sports betting backers as a 3.5-point road underdog in the BetUS Sportsbook.

Jack McClinton led Miami with a game-high 23 points while James Dews added 18 points in the win.

Analysis: I generally tend to lean towards the underdog when it come to enormous point spreads like this one, but I really like the Miami Hurricanes to come through with a big win and cover against the struggling Golden Panthers.

Take the Canes to cover the spread narrowly while winning going away.
