The Team USA Men's Basketball team look to continue their
unbeaten run in the 2012 Olympics this afternoon when they face Nigeria at
5:15pm eastern time on NBC Sports Network. The US are overwhelming 42 point
favorites in the game.
The Nigerians are the 21st ranked team in the world
according to FIBA while the US is #1, but that doesn't even fully illustrate
the gap between the two. The US has complied 852 points in the FIBA ranking
system while Nigeria has just 67.6. The Americans are coming off a game against
Tunisia in which they won by 47, yet failed to cover the spread. In fact,
Tunisia even took the lead on 3 separate occasions.
