Let's take a quick look at the Super Tuesday match ups this week:
Match up #1 : Seton Hall @ #10 Syracuse (-13.0). 7:00pm EST tip.
Was expecting the spread to be a little smaller after two straight up losses by the Orange coupled with a 6 point margin of victory when these two teams played on Jan 8th. (Seton Hall was a 7.5pt home dog in that one.) Syracuse should be motivated, but this spread may be a little too large.

Match up #2 : #5 Kansas @ Colorado (+7.5). 8:00pm EST tip.
Kansas will be motivated after losing their first game in KU in 70 games. But this team seems a little overrated to D$ and wouldn't be too quick to jump on them as favourites vs Colorado. This team is 1-4 ATS in last five and not blowing teams away in Big 12 action with the exception of Baylor. Just saying this one not automatic, so do your homework first before putting down the cheese here.
Match up #3: #5 Connecticut @ Marquette (-4.0). 9:00pm EST tip.
We were excited to perhaps see Marquette be a slight home dog here, but to our surprise the spread has opened Marquette being a four point fav. The lines makers disrespecting the #5 ranks Uconn Hukies who have showed poorly on the road the past two seasons until recently. Oddsmakers see the Golden Eagles as zig-zag team of the Big East. Might be another stay away game as not much value.
Match up #4: #12 Purdue @ #1 Ohio State (-7.5). 9:00pm EST tip.
The feature match up of the day. The spread has opened at 7.5 and temping us to grab Purdue here. OSU hasn't beaten anyone higher than 18 in the RPI yet this season and most of their wins against the better teams this month were close (PSU, Illinois, and Minnesota in January Big 10 play). Purdue is riding some momentum after beating down Mich. St on Saturday night and will be a motivated dog trying to take down #1 in the nation.
(Incidentally, OSU players Jon Diebler, Aaron Craft, and POY candidate Jared Sullinger should stick to ballin' and not singing any more Miley Cyrus songs. Check out this YouTube video if you haven't heard about what we're talking about.)
Good Luck on Tuesday. D$ Out
