Best Bet: Arkansas +4.5 vs. Michigan

We’re going with the home dog tonight (Shocker). I do really like this Michigan team, and they have showed that they are legitimate contender in the Big 10. However, we’ve reached peak market on Michigan here, laying more than 4 points in a tough road game against a talented team. Michigan has talent as well, and likely a coaching advantage (Dusty May is phenomenal), but this number is too high. As good as they’ve looked the last couple weeks, their first two conference games were both decided by less than this number. They very well could’ve lost AT HOME to Iowa just a few days ago. Now they play a less meaningful game on a neutral floor in this spot. Additionally, this game IS meaningful to Arkansas as they need a signature win. They have not beaten a good team yet this year, and Cal is looking for that big time victory to get this season going. I believe they are going to treat this game as a big one, and I think they will be ready to go. I believe Arkansas not only covers this number, but wins the game outright. We take the points here in what should be a fun, close game, and hopefully we don’t even need them and the Hogs can win it on the floor. Take the 4.5 with Arkansas and let’s keep the streak going.
