Syracuse takes on Connecticut in a huge Big East showdown on Wednesday night. The Orange has been a bust against the spread so far this season going 9 and 11 overall and 2 and 4 on the road. Syracuse is okay straight-up at 18 and 6 but they have to make sure they don’t go on a losing streak or else they will find themselves out of the Big Dance come March. That’s how tough the Big East is this season.
UCLA is currently ranked #12 in the nation and have begun to solidify themselves as the top team on the west coast. They looked fantastic against a good Stanford team last week. Their straight-up record if 17 and 4. Against the BetUS spread, the Bruins are only 10 and 10 which makes them an iffy wagering proposition for online betting fans.
The Connecticut Huskies, 20 and 1 straight-up, travel to Louisville to take on the Cardinals. The Huskies are easily one of the top teams in the Big East but against the BetUS online betting spread, they haven’t made any fans rich. Their record against the spread is a tepid 8 and 7. They are 4 and 1 against the spread on the road, though, which means sports wagering fans have to consider them in this game.
A day before the Super Bowl another Pittsburgh team will be in action when the #3 ranked Pitt Panthers hosts Notre Dame. Pittsburgh has been pretty much brilliant this season going 18 and 2 straight-up. Against the BetUS online wagering spread, their record of 8-6-1 isn’t the best in the nation.
Coach K has Duke where they should be, ranked number one in the nation and on their way to another ACC title. But before the Dookies can claim it, they’ll have to beat teams like the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on the road. The Deacons were ranked number one in the nation before suffering a loss to Virginia Tech.
The Washington Huskies travel to Pauley Pavilion to take on the UCLA Bruins in a clash of two huge Pac-10 powerhouses. The Huskies might not have the respect that the UCLA Bruins have from college basketball fans but sports betting fans know who the Washington Huskies are. They’ve gone 14 and 4 straight-up and 10 and 6 against the BetUS spread.
Two Big East powerhouses collide on Wednesday night when the Villanova Wildcats travel to Connecticut to take on the Huskies in what is sure to be a terrific online betting contest for sports betting fans. Villanova has done decent this season straight-up going 14 and 3 but their record against the BetUS Sportsbook spread has been downright horrid at 6 and 7.
The number 7th ranked UCLA Bruins host the Arizona Wildcats on Thursday night in a rivalry that has lost some of its intensity. At one time, the Wildcats and Bruins ruled the Pac-10. That’s not the case anymore. UCLA is still a Pac-10 juggernaut having gone to the final four in each of the past two seasons.
Game-day: 1/17/2009

The Connecticut Huskies travel to a neutral site to take on the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Gonzaga was ranked fourth in the nation until getting upset by the Arizona Wildcats last week. It doesn’t matter, really, since it’s so early in the season the Bulldogs are still finding out about themselves. Gonzaga is a very good team.
The Siena Saints travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Panthers in a game that figures to be a blow-out. Sports betting fans have to respect how the Pitts Panthers haven’t been involved in a game where they haven’t beaten their opponent by less than 13 points.
