Loser: Take the Washington Huskies +8.5 Visiting the UCLA Bruins as the Thursday Play of the Day

Take the Washington Huskies +8.5 visiting the UCLA Bruins as the Thursday play of the day, 8:00 PM Pacific. Huskies are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a road underdog. Seattle Mike is 4-1 on picks he has released to this blog. Thanks Seattle Mike and go dogs! Matchup Good luck!

Bob Harvey has a free pick tonight on the Huskies. Here is Bob's writeup:
First a brief history lesson. Washington is 1-21 at Pauley Pavilion. Their only victory came three years ago. This could be the Huskies best chance since to beat the Bruins again.
Washington has won six of eight against UCLA including an 86-75 win on January 14th in Seattle. In that game Isiah Thomas dominated on the outside and Jon Brockman owned the paint. The Huskies also have extra incentive tonight. They lead the Pac Ten and a win tonight would virtually terminate the Bruins hopes for a fourth straight conference title.
Defense and rebounding have plagued UCLA this season. But those decencies were very noticeable in Arizona last weekend when the Bruins lost to both AU and ASU. They allowed the Arizona schools to shoot a combined 54 percent and were scorched by the Wildcats who layed a 49 spot on the Bruins in the first half!
UCLA has also been a dreadful rebounding team grabbing an average of 28 per game, second worst in the conference. And with Alfred Aboya slowed with the flu, UCLA could be in for another long night against Brockman and the Huskies.
Washington leads the Pac Ten with an average of 41 boards per game with Brockman pulling down 11 per game, more than twice what Aboya is averaging.
The Bruins haven’t lost three straight since ’05. But they’re staring straight down the barrel of another loss tonight. The points are an absolute gift. Washington should win this one outright.

Wunderdog Checks In:
4 units on San Antonio +1 over Detroit
3 units on the Spurs Under 180.5
4 units on Wisconsin -9.5
3 units on St. Bonaventure +3.5
3 units on Oregon State +4
4 units on UCLA Moneyline -395
3 units on UCLA Under 154

Adam Wins (Adam Meyer) reports in with his picks, thanks Adam!:
Platinum Level Plays:
5 Unit Duke -12.5 vs. St. John's
After 2 ACC losses in a row, Duke gets to take out its frustrations on one of the weaker Big East squads-St. Johns. They need this win to bolster their record for the NCAA March Madness seeding . St. John’s has lost four in a row and is not in Duke’s class. The Blue Devils will take out their recent frustrations on a helpless Johnnies squad and cruise to a 15-20 point win.
4.5 Unit Western Kentucky +2.5 vs. Ark-LR
Both of these teams are fighting for Sun Belt Conference supremacy. While Ark-LR has won 5 in a row they were blown out by WKU earlier in the year, 79-47! Western has been solid offensively and they will win this game if hey keep their turnovers to a minimum. While revenge is on the minds of Ark-LR….they won’t get it tonight.
4.5 Unit Minnesota +4
4 Unit Wisconsin -9
3 Unit : New Jersey Devils over 5.5 goals

Jersey City Mike Reports In:
Jersey City Mike has the USC Trojans -6.5 over the Washington State Cougars for 200 dimes, 7:30 PM Pacific. Good luck Big Mike!

All Our Picks: UW Huskies, San Antonio Spurs, Duke -13.5, USC Trojans -6.5, San Jose Sharks and Over 138.5 in the Villanova/Rutgers game, thanks to all our loyal readers for the input!

Yeah, keep loading on the Huskies bandwagon, if there's something we've learned is that the home team is the law at home. UCLA is tired of all the recent embarrasment, (just like our affable host of this site) So expect the Bruins to win by 15+ tonight!

Didn't I tell you not to take the Huskies +8.5? I did..."Yeah, keep loading on the Huskies bandwagon, if there's something we've learned is that the home team is the law at home."

There you go a 12pt cushion to protect us from a garbage 3pt at the end -9 covers, also gave you the Nova cats Over +138.5 easy money as well. You gotta listen to me Rick.
