#647 ASA FREE PLAY ON Villanova -3.5 over Creighton, Saturday at 2:30 PM ET - Villanova is 10-3 in Big East play sitting behind only UConn and St Johns. Two of their three losses came vs those 2 teams and the other was vs this Creighton team. The Wildcats are in revenge mode today. They have been great on the road with a 5-1 conference record and their only loss coming @ UConn in OT. Creighton is 6-6 in conference play and all of their wins, with the exception of Nova, are vs teams that are at or below .500 in conference play. They’ve faced only 1 team at home this year that has a current winning record in league play, UConn, and they got blasted in that game 85-58. Four of their conference home wins were down to the wire beating Butler by 4, Georgetown by 3 on OT, Xavier by 1, and Seton Hall by 1. In their last 2 home games vs Xavier and Seton Hall, the Bluejays were a bit lucky trailing late in each. The Hall led Creighton by 9 with under 1:30 left and XU led by 4 with under 1:00 remaining here in Omaha. The Jays are really lucky to be sitting with a .500 record in the Big East. In their 76-72 home loss vs Creighton, the Wildcats allowed the Blue Jays to hit 50% from the field and Nova only made 6 of 24 triples (25%). We look for that to flip here as the Cats are the 2nd best 3 point shooting team in the conference (36%) and Creighton ranks 284th in the nation defending the arc. On the other end, the Blue Jays shoot more 3’s than any team in the league but they are facing a Villanova defense that is #1 in Big East play defending the arc allowing just 29%. The Wildcats have just 2 true road losses this year vs Michigan (#1 per KenPom) and UConn in OT (#8 per KenPom). They are 16-8 ATS while the Jays continue to underperform at 8-17 ATS. We’ll lay this small number with the much better team in revenge mode. |

#885/886 ASA PLAY ON Over 162.5 Points – Ohio vs Miami OH, Friday at 9 PM ET - We should see a lot of possessions in this game with Miami OH ranking 44th in the nation in adjusted tempo and Ohio ranking 88th. They are both in the top 85 in offensive possessions per game. Miami ranks #1 in the country hitting 54% of their shots and they also make 40% of their triples which is 8th in the country. Ohio is also in the top 100 in FG% on the season. Straight scoring the Redhawks rank 3rd nationally averaging 95.7 PPG and at home that jumps to just over 98 PPG! They’ve scored at least 85 points in 9 of their 11 MAC games with the only teams holding them under that number being Akron (#1 in MAC defensive efficiency) and on the road vs Buffalo in a game the Redhawks made only 3 FT’s and still scored 73 points (they average 18 made FT’s per game). Miami has hit 100+ points in almost 30% of their overall games this season. Ohio is no slouch on offense averaging 78 PPG overall for the season and in conference play. The Bobcats have been held under 70 points only 7 times in 25 games this season and 4 of those were vs top 100 defenses (efficiency) and another was vs Akron the best defense in the MAC. Neither of these defenses are great both allowing 78 PPG in conference play and 147th and 235th nationally in defensive efficiency. We like Miami to easily break 80 in this game and 90+ is a definitely possibility, again they average almost 100 PPG at home this year. Ohio should easily break 70 and could push 80 here. Let’s take the Over in this one. |

The owners of American Sports Analysts (ASAwins), Lee Kostroski & Mike Merlet, have a combined 50+ years in the sports betting industry. Both started with Doc’s Enterprises, Lee in the late 80’s and Mike in the early 90’s. After learning the handicapping trade from one of the oldest in the business, they started ASA Inc in 1997 and have been going strong ever since. They have been known throughout the industry for their success on BIG GAMES including their 10* Midwest Game of the Year. ASA is located in Madison, WI and a foundation of their handicapping prowess revolves around the heart of the country – especially the Big Ten. ASAwins has appeared on numerous radio shows throughout the country as special expert football guests including Tampa, New Orleans, Madison, Milwaukee, Memphis, Las Vegas, and Denver just to name a few. They were also featured on the ESPN website with gaming writer Chad Millman during the 2011 season. ASAwins handicapping methods have evolved through years of with hard work and research being the anchor of their success. Rather than implementing one specific strategy as many handicappers do, they intertwine many different philosophies when it comes to making football, basketball, hockey, and baseball selections. They utilize their massive database that goes back over 30 years and can give them in depth information on any situation you can think of when it comes to handicapping. That’s not where they stop, however. They also research stats and film each week to evaluate the upcoming match ups on the field along with speaking with their personal contacts throughout the country (especially in the Midwest). On top of that, they analyze each point spread (and their movements) comparing them with their own power ratings to find where an edge might be found. Lastly, their predictive analytics or math models predict the outcomes of games based solely on numbers and statistics that aren’t swayed by the human element. So, as you can see, just because a game may fall into a successful system or the scheduling looks good to go against or with a certain team, that doesn’t mean that ASA automatically uses it as a selection. It must go through their in-depth process with all things considered before they give it the ASA stamp of approval. Looking at games from all these angles gives ASA the best of all worlds when it comes to handicapping. Their handicapping theories have proven successful over the years which has them as one of the more tenured experts in the industry. Lee & Mike at ASAwins have stood the test of time in an industry that makes it very tough to do so. Their 50+ years of experience will give you the WINNING EDGE you need. Sports wagering is an investment and it’s time you invest in the known commodity of ASAwins! |
