Free College Basketball Picks: Miami Florida -8.0 (-110) - Tuesday, December 2nd ‘08 7:00p
The Miami Hurricanes are currently ranked 22 in the country, and we look for them to flex their muscles at home tonight vs. a Ohio State Buckeyes team that has feasted on cream puffs so far.

Sure, the Buckeyes are 3-0, but wins over Samford, Delaware State and Bowling Green will not exactly strike fear into anyone. Furthermore, Bowling Green is the best team in that bunch, which is not saying much, and the Buckeyes failed to cover that contest while barely escaping with a 61-57 win at home.

They are now stepping way up in class while playing away from home for the first time this year, which seems like a fatal combination. It is also worth noting that they failed to cover at home in this challenge vs. North Carolina last season, and they are 0-4 straight up and 0-3-1 ATS on the road vs. ACC foes since 2002 while losing by an average of -11.3 points.

Now granted, Miami also has a deceptive 4-1 record as they too have a couple of non-lined wins vs. outclassed opponents and they lost their most meaningful game vs. Connecticut. However, the Buckeyes are a far cry from the Huskies, who the Canes trailed by just seven points in the second half before Connecticut pulled away, and the Southern Miss team that Miami beat by 10 points on a neutral court is better than any team Ohio State has faced.

The bottom line here is that Miami is the more athletic team from the better conference, and when you add in the home court advantage, the Hurricanes should win handily.
