Clemson and Wake Forest will battle it out today in a crucial game for both teams. A win for either squad would certainly help when it comes time for the ACC Tournament, as well as helping for an NCAA Tournament berth.
Wake Forest comes into the game having lost four straight, including an ugly 51-47 decision to Florida State last time out, as both teams committed 19 turnovers. The Demon Deacons face a Clemson team that has won five of its last six games, with the lone blemish a setback at Maryland.
Wake Forest is favored by one and is attracting nearly 60 percent of the wagers in the game. The total is 141.

College basketball's regular season is quickly coming to an end, as teams gear up for conference tournaments. It's important to look for teams that are still playing hard, as opposed to those teams that have pretty much called it quits for the year.
This is the one time of the year where you may want to give a little more weight to a team's recent performance, compared to their season-long performance. Losing teams that are still playing hard can be decent wagers, especially when playing teams that appear to be waiting for the tournaments to begin.

It wouldn't quite be another Miracle on Ice if the USA defeats Canada today, but it would certainly be a surprise. Team Canada is favored by -220 at most books, with the USA getting back anywhere from +180 to +200. The total is 5.5.
Canada certainly has the better players, but Team USA has truly played well as a team throughout these Olympics and has proven they can go toe-to-toe with their neighbors to the North.
If Ryan Miller continues with his play, the game could go either way and a USA victory would do wonders for the popularity of the sport in the States. Regardless, it should be an exciting game.
There are plenty of basketball games for those who can't bring themselves to watch a hockey game, with Denver at Los Angeles probably the biggest game on the slate.

Canada and the United States are the two favorites in today's Olympic hockey games, although neither team can afford to look past their competition.
The United States will play a tough Finland squad in the early game today. The U.S. is favored by -190, although the price differs at most sportsbooks. The total on the game is 4.5.
Ryan Miller and Miikka Kiprusoff are both capable of winning the game, which makes laying that type of price with the Americans a bit risky. Sure, I'd love to see the U.S. win, but there is a difference between being a bettor and being a fan, so if the Americans win it will be without me backing them.
Slovakia is the surprise team of the tournament, but they have some firepower with Marian Gaborik and Marian Hossa. The key will be how the defense stacks up against the Canadians to try and take some pressure off Jaroslav Halak.
Canada has looked impressive in its last two games and a result are favored by 2.5 goals. The total on the game is either 6 or 6.5 depending on the sportsbook and even the odds fluctuate greatly. If you like the total be sure to shop, as the differences are fairly significant at some shops.

Before we can get to college basketball's Big Dance, the field has to be set and for a number of teams, if they go or not will be determined by the various conference tournaments that will start taking place shortly.
Teams can generally be broken into three groups--those teams that are already in the NCAA Tournament, those teams that need to win a few games, but not necessarily win the conference tournament to get an invite and those teams which have to win the conference tournament to get an invite.
Some conferences have seen the underdogs do extremely well in the conference tourneys, while other conferences have seen the favorite cover a large percentage of the time. We'll look at how teams have done in the major conferences in Betting College Basketball's Conference Tournaments in the Basketball Betting section of the site.

The Canadian hockey team finds itself in an unexpected situation today, as the heavy pre-Olympic favorites will be playing Germany in an elimination game. The winner will advance to take on Russia on Wednesday.
Martin Brodeur is getting a lot of heat for Canada's loss to the United States, but it was a total team effort, or lack of, that was the real culprit in the loss to the Americans. Brodeur makes a convenient scapegoat, but Scott Niedermeyer, Chris Pronger and others have to shoulder some of the criticism.
Canada will turn to hometown hero Roberto Luongo in goal against Germany, giving him both starts against Canada's two weakest opponents, so naturally, he will post better numbers than Brodeur. Still, it was a move the team needed to make.
