Rodents of Unusual Size


Pick of the day:
Wisconsin -2.5 at Minnesota. Wisconsin has only played two games on the road so far this season, and they've lost them both. But there's no shame in losing at Wake Forest and at Pittsburgh. Minnesota is coming off a loss to Northwestern and has quite a few players either banged up or sick. The Northwestern defense stymied Minnesota and held them to 49 points. If they struggle with Northwestern, then Wisconsin should be a living hell for the Gophers. Similar to last night's situation with Texas at Iowa St., Minnesota really hasn't played anyone this year whereas Wisconsin's strength of schedule is ranked #7 by sportsline.com.
Wisconsin 71, Minnesota 56.

I also like the Charlotte Bobcats -240 to win over the Houston Rockets. I suppose with TMac and Yao both out, Rafer Alston could step it up again. But Charlotte is desperate for a win at home after being absolutely shellacked on their road trip. But those three games were without Emeka Okafer. Okafer is expected to play tonight and that should be enough for the victory.
