01-27-19 | North Florida v. Florida Gulf Coast OVER 153 | 80-88 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
This one should see plenty of points on Sunday. Florida Gulf Coast lost at North Florida 87-66 just a few weeks ago. This team has lost six of their last eight and it's because of a really leaky defense. They've been able to score some points as well. The Eagles beat Stetson 87-65 at home back on Monday and have either scored or allowed 80 points at home in all but one contest. The Ospreys have a very potent offense themselves. They've scored 80 points or more in five of their last eight contests. They've also struggled on defense on the road. I think this one should be played with a good pace and since the spread is tight, we may see some free throws at the end to help us. |

01-26-19 | North Dakota State v. Oral Roberts +2 | 67-57 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
North Dakota State has yet to win a road game this year and has covered just one of their eight contests away from home. They've lost four of their last seven and are coming off an 18 point loss at rival South Dakota State. They've lost seven times by double digits away from home. Oral Roberts is nothing great themselves, but they've won three straight home games in conference. Emmanuel Nzekwesi is a beast inside and he's got some help from several other scoring options. ORU is 14-9 against the spread at home the last three seasons. Last year they won this game 67-66 at home against a better Bison team. They've won eight of their last 10 at home in this series. Give me the underdogs. |
|||||||
01-26-19 | Chattanooga v. Wofford OVER 143 | 69-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
Wofford is coming off a highly emotional win at home against Samford entering this one. The Terriers got the win at the buzzer. Their offense has been pretty spectacular at home this season scoring 90 or more seven times. I think the defense could be a bit lax against a Chattanooga team that's not very good. We've had mixed success betting overs with this team. They've gone over in three of five, four of seven and seven of their last 11 games. The team has some balance and poor defense which are two keys to hitting an over. Still, I think the Terriers struggle at least early to get up for this one so give me the over. |
|||||||
01-26-19 | Central Michigan v. Toledo OVER 155.5 | 72-76 | Loss | -112 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
I don't usually like to dabble with numbers this high, but there's a clear reason why it's in the 150s. The Chippewas are outscoring opponents 85.3 - 76.1 on the season and have the offense to keep up with almost anyone. The problem is that their defense is rather porous. CMU has allowed 77 at Miami-Ohio, 94 at Youngstown State and 89 at TCU. They've also scored 70 or more in every game except for three this season. On the other side you have a Rockets team that loves to get up and down the court especially at home. Now they do play better defense there, but still, they want this game in the 80s. Last year these two played an 89-76 contest as well as a 93-82 one. The only reason there was an under in their last four meetings was because the total was set for 176. I think this one is an over on Saturday. |
|||||||
01-26-19 | Wisc-Milwaukee +14.5 v. Northern Kentucky | 60-73 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
I'm going to take a shot with Milwaukee on Saturday and hope they can continue to be covering machines. This team has covered in three straight and has failed to cover just once this calendar year on the road. They've got some offensive potential with several scorers and they play some decent defense holding four of their last five opponents to less then 70 points. Drew McDonald is dealing with an ankle injury for the home team tonight and that could be a big loss. The Norse have won five straight with three of those being by double digits. There's no doubt that they are the better team, but I think this one could be a bit lower scoring and the Panthers hang tough. Give me the road underdog. |
|||||||
01-26-19 | St Bonaventure +2 v. Richmond | 66-57 | Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
St. Bonaventure has been a tough team for me to figure out this season. I'll admit that I've backed them before and they've failed to cover but the talent is there. Courtney Stockard and Kyle Lofton are two solid guards with LaDarien Griffin inside as well. The problem I have is that their talent level doesn't match their tempo which is towards the bottom. They play pretty good defense and have the talent edge in this one. Richmond is coming off a devastating loss in Philly where they blew a 15 point lead and one has to question what their mental makeup is right now. Grant Golden and Jacob Gilyard are really solid and Nathan Cayo is good when he can be aggressive. Still, Richmond is no guarantee at home where they've lost to Oral Roberts, Longwood and Hampton. Last year the Spiders lost twice to a better Bonnies team. I'll take the road team and hope they win outright against a deflated Richmond squad. |
|||||||
01-26-19 | Fresno State v. Colorado State OVER 145.5 | 65-74 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
Colorado State has gone over in 12 of their 16 lined games including eight of 11 as underdogs and six of seven at home. They have a very potent offense, but don't play very much defense at all. These two played a 78-67 game at Fresno earlier this month and that was with CSU shooting just 15% from long range. Colorado State has allowed 75 points or more in three straight and six of their last seven. The defense is leaky enough to help this over. Fresno State has gone under in seven of their last eight after a stretch of six overs in seven contests. This squad can score themselves, but they also struggle a little bit defensively away from home giving up 77 at Utah State and TCU as well. I think this one has over written all over it. |
|||||||
01-26-19 | Old Dominion v. Texas-San Antonio +2.5 | 73-74 | Win | 100 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
ODU wraps up a long trip that has taken them through Charlotte and UTEP so far. Now they've got an afternoon affair in Texas against a UTSA team that has never lost to the Monarchs at home. They are also 7-3 at home and rely on two good scorers. They blasted Charlotte 88-43 last time out and have won six straight at home. ODU meanwhile is coming off a skinny two point win at UTEP and rely on Stith and Caver for a lot of their offense. I think we see a bit of road weariness and if UTSA can get off to a fast start, then I think they can win this one. |
|||||||
01-26-19 | William & Mary v. College of Charleston OVER 143 | 59-74 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
I took a break from WM overs and they hit in three of their last four. This team's defense is absolutely dreadful and is coming off a 93-88 loss at UNC Wilmington in which the Seahawks shot 50.8% from the field. This team has allowed 90 or more four times already this season. The good thing is that their offense is capable of carrying some load too with Justin Pierce, Nathan Knight and Chase Audige. Charleston is coming off a 72-53 win over Elon. They play very good defense, but have struggled at times at home with teams that have solid offense. Drexel scored 79 there in a 79-78 Cougars loss. They also allowed 86 at Hofstra. Last year these two played 83-73, 114-104 and 82-77 contests. They've gone over in five straight matchups. You don't often see Tribe totals this low so I'll take a shot that it goes over here. |
|||||||
01-26-19 | Ball State v. Ohio OVER 141 | 74-78 | Win | 100 | 13 h 8 m | Show | |
Ball State has gone over in 12 of their 18 lined games this season behind an offense that shoots nearly 50% from the field while scoring over 80 points per contest. Ohio is nowhere near as consistent as they hover around 70 per contest. I had the over in their first meeting back on January 12th and it lost because the Bobcats held the Cardinals to just 52 points on 35.4% shooting from the field. Ohio managed to score 70 points which was rare for them on the road. Ohio is 8-2 at home where they score nearly 80. I don't think they'll be able to hold down Ball State again. BSU has had just six games with totals in the 130s and they've gone over in five of those games. Heck, Ohio has gone over in six of their last seven when the total is around this much as well. Give me the over. |
|||||||
01-26-19 | Detroit v. IUPU-Indianapolis OVER 147 | 65-80 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 9 m | Show | |
Detroit's hot and cold defensive effort has disappeared once again. The Titans have allowed 84 points per game and opponents to shoot over 50% in their last five contests. They've also put up 80 themselves behind Antoine Davis. Yes, they've had some issues on the road, but I think they can find some success at IUPUI. The Jaguars average almost 85 points per game at home and have a lot more weapons to deal with. Their defense isn't the best either allowing over 70 points per contest. These two teams should be able to score some points and go over the total. I think it could be a fun game as well. |
|||||||
01-26-19 | Iowa State v. Ole Miss OVER 146 | 87-73 | Win | 100 | 11 h 9 m | Show | |
This is one of the sneaky games in the Big 12/SEC challenge as Ole Miss hosts Iowa State. Ole Miss is 14-4 and averaging nearly 80 points per game. They've either scored or allowed 80 points per game during every home contest except for one. The Rebels go as Breein Tyree and Terence Davis go. Iowa State is 14-5 and much like their opponent, they average nearly 80 points per game. The Cyclones have a really potent offense and an inconsistent defense. They have four double digit scorers and Nick Babb who averages nearly 10 points per contest. I think these two will play a tighter game and will both find it easy to score at times. Give me the over. |
|||||||
01-26-19 | Georgia Tech v. Duke -22.5 | 53-66 | Loss | -109 | 2 h 25 m | Show | |
Duke is back home as they host Georgia Tech on Saturday. It looks like Tre Jones will play and that will be huge for the Blue Devils offense. Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett should be able to get whatever they want. This team has a boatload of big wins at home against lesser talented teams. At one point this season, they covered six of eight home contests. Georgia Tech doesn't score and struggles against tougher teams defensively. They have road wins at Syracuse and Arkansas but neither of them are on Duke's level consistently. Duke has covered 26 of their last 36 in this series including 12 of their last 16 at home. I think this one gets really ugly on Saturday. |
|||||||
01-24-19 | UC-Santa Barbara +1.5 v. CS-Fullerton | 60-81 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 7 m | Show | |
UC Santa Barbara once is again is essentially a pick'em favorite on the road against a lesser opponent. The Gauchos are my favorite team in this conference because of the scoring balance with five different players who average eight points per game or more including Max Heidegger who is working his way back from injuries. They were a 2 point fave at UC Davis and won by 11. That goes along with road wins at Rice and Wyoming and a close loss at Washington. Fullerton is 6-12, but they've lost seven of their last 10 games. They've only got home wins against UC Riverside, Portland, Cal Lutheran and West Coast Baptist. Kyle Allman Jr and Khalil Ahmad are a very good duo in the backcourt, but they don't have a ton of weapons beyond those two. Fullerton has covered just one of their eight contests against teams with a winning record in 2018-19. I'll take the Gauchos in this one. |
|||||||
01-24-19 | North Dakota State v. South Dakota State -12 | 69-87 | Win | 100 | 11 h 6 m | Show | |
North Dakota State has been a trainwreck on the road this season. They've lost by 15 at Denver, 13 at Omaha, 7 at Montana, 22 at Iowa State, 42 at Gonzaga, 18 at ETSU and 17 at New Mexico State. This team doesn't have a ton of talent although they do have four double digit scorers led by Deng Geu. They certainly have no one to compare with Mike Daum and David Jenkins who put up nearly 45 points per contest. The Jackrabbits have five double digit home victories and have covered 17 of their last 28 at home. South Dakota State won by 21 in the conference tourney and 19 at home last year against their rival. I think they can blow them out again in this one. |
|||||||
01-24-19 | Coastal Carolina v. Arkansas-Little Rock OVER 150.5 | 72-71 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
I've learned my lesson about taking Little Rock on the road, but at home they are a different team. They are 6-2 there scoring 81.5 points per contest while shooting 52% from the field. The team actually plays a little defense there as well. The balance is really good for the Trojans this season. They are shooting nearly 50% in conference play. Coastal is 3-7 on the road and 2-3 in conference. The team's three road wins are against Troy and Campbell with the third being a neutral court win against UNC Asheville. These two score plenty of points and allow plenty of them as well. Coastal has gone over in every single road game this season. Give me the over in this one. |
|||||||
01-24-19 | Chattanooga v. Furman OVER 140.5 | 58-73 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 2 m | Show | |
Furman has lost four of their last seven since an undefeated start to their season. The Paladins are led by Matt Rafferty and Jordan Lyons who are two of six scorers who average eight points per game or more. They play some hot and cold defense allowing over 70 points in four of their last seven contests. Chattanooga has had some criminally low totals this season that I've taken advantage of. The Mocs have won four of their last five and have scored 70 or more in 13 straight games. The offense has struggled at times on the road, but the defense has as well. They've allowed 96, 62, 85, 75, 90 and 95 in their last six away contests. I think this one should see plenty of points. |
|||||||
01-24-19 | Wisc-Milwaukee +13 v. Wright State | 54-56 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
Wisconsin Milwaukee is 9-11 on the season, but they've been a decent bet on the road. The Panthers have won at Oakland, Western Michigan and UMKC with closes losses at Cincy and FIU this season. They've won seven of their last 10 and are led by Darius Roy, DeAndre Abram and Vance Johnson. This team has some decent balance. Wright State is 10-10 and have four double digit scorers on the season. This is their first home game after five straight on the road. This team has two wins at home against NW Ohio and Cedarville. Wright State is 3-3 against the spread in conference and played three single digit contests against Milwaukee last year. Milwaukee has covered 13 of their last 22 overall in this series on the road. I think this is too many points. |
|||||||
01-23-19 | Loyola-Chicago v. Missouri State OVER 135.5 | 35-70 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 46 m | Show | |
Loyola Chicago has been very efficient on offense this season behind their big three of Krutwig, Custer and Townes. They are getting a lot of teams best shot because of the Final Four run last year. They've shot 50% or better in three straight and five of their last six. The team has scored 70 or more in three of their five true road games. Missouri State has lost six of their last ten this season. The Bears are led by Tulio Da Silva, Jarred Dixon and Keandre Cook. The money is coming in on the home team and that means that bettors think that the Bears can push the pace and keep up a bit. I'd have been more concerned if the Ramblers were getting money. To me, it's harder to play the slower pace on the road then it is at home. I think this one could go over the total. |
|||||||
01-23-19 | Evansville v. Drake OVER 141 | 66-78 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
Drake is a very high scoring team putting up nearly 80 points per game. They had a brief blip on the radar when Nick Norton went down with the injury, but they've won three of their last four. The offense has scored 74, 82, 74, 98, 76 and 79 in their last six games. Even without Norton they still have Nick McGlynn, Brady Ellingson and D.J. Wilkins. Evansville is playing a faster style under Walter McCarty at head coach. Despite that, they've actually gone under in eight of their last ten. That came after a good stretch of overs. The problem has been the offense which would score in the 60s and then the 80s. KJ Riley, Shea Feehan and Marty Hill are their double digit scorers. The Purple Aces defense is also hot and cold especially on the road. I'll take my chances that Drake can push the pace and we go over this total. |
|||||||
01-23-19 | Illinois State v. Bradley | 68-85 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
Stubbornly, I've been on this team through their best and their worst because I like their core. The Redbirds have won four of their last five including a road game at Evansville. The loss was by three at Loyola Chicago and the loss before this stretch was by two at Valpo. Milik Yarbrough is a handful alongside Phil Fayne and Zach Copeland. They are finally pretty much healthy. Bradley has lost five of six and seven of their last nine contests with four of those coming at home. The defense has been good, but man, their offense has been bad. They've scored 60 or less in five of their last six. Illinois State's defense isn't their strongest thing, but I think they are better offensively. Bradley is 1-8 against the spread at home. I'll take a chance on the road team in this one. |
|||||||
01-23-19 | George Mason +8 v. Dayton | 67-63 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
George Mason has covered 21 of their last 30 road games including five of six this season. The Patriots have won five of six and seven of their last nine contests. This stretch included road wins at UMass, Rhode Island and St. Joe. They've also won outright at William and Mary and lost by one at Kansas State. Justin Kier is in great form right now and he's getting help from Otis Livingston II and freshman Jordan Miller. Dayton has been equally impressive winning seven of their last eight although over that span they've covered just one contest, pushing on two others. All year long the Flyers have not been great against the spread. Josh Cunningham is one of five double digit scorers for the home team. I really like their core, but much like the opponent, their just not deep either. I think this is way too many points and that Mason can make things interesting. |
|||||||
01-22-19 | San Diego State v. Fresno State OVER 139.5 | 62-66 | Loss | -114 | 14 h 42 m | Show | |
Fresno State isn't the deepest team in the world but they are led by Braxton Huggins and Deshon Taylor who average 35 points per game combined. They've got two other double digit scorers and two others who contribute as well. This team saw a streak of 12 of their last 13 games scoring 70 or more snapped last time out in the loss to Nevada. Their defense has been very hot and cold this season giving up 70+ to their last two opponents. San Diego State's defense has improved a bit, but they also just faced some weak competition in the Air Force and Wyoming. Against teams with a pulse especially on the road, they've been very porous. Their offense isn't very good so that's a concern, but I think they can hold their own in this one. Give me the over. |
|||||||
01-22-19 | Wake Forest v. Virginia -22 | 45-68 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
Virginia is going to be quite ornery after losing to Duke at their place. The Cavaliers shot the ball well from 2 point range, but didn't make the stops when they needed to and that led to the Blue Devils getting the win. Wake Forest is beyond terrible. There really isn't a ton of analysis needed for this one. Virginia will hold Wake to like 40 or 50 points and find it rather easy to score on the Deacs. This one will get ugly in Charlottesville. |
|||||||
01-22-19 | Central Michigan +6.5 v. Akron | 67-70 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
Akron has lost three of their last four and has not covered a game in their last five. As a matter of fact, they've covered just two contests since December 1st. At home, they've failed to cover in four of their last five as the inconsistent offense continues to plague them. They scored 86 against Central Michigan at their place, but have scored 65 or less in five of their last seven. The Zips have a nice balance of scorers, but they aren't a great shooting team. The Chippewas have won eight of their last 10 games and have road wins at NIU, Miami-Ohio and Youngstown State. CMU has five double digit scorers and Dallas Morgan adds seven points per game. My worry is their lack of defense because it's shown often. They've covered in three of their last five. I think they are worth a look here. |
|||||||
01-21-19 | Kennesaw State v. Lipscomb OVER 142 | 57-86 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
The Owls are one of the worst teams in the country and have lost six straight contests. This team plays no defense whatsoever especially on the road where they have allowed 72, 92, 87, 81, 84 and 74. The offense isn't great either, but I feel like I don't really need them to be because Lipscomb is going to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Tyler Hooker is their only double digit scorer at 18.6 points per game. Lipscomb has more balance but Garrison Mathews and Rob Marberry are their most potent players. They've scored 80 points or more 10 times already this season. There's a good chance they get to 90 or 100 in this one. I think this over is worth a look. |
|||||||
01-21-19 | Old Dominion v. Charlotte UNDER 123.5 | 76-70 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a hold your nose type of play, but I really don't understand why the over is getting love here. Charlotte is scoring 59.9 points per game and playing decent defense as well with the new pack line system under coach Sanchez. The 49ers have gone under in four straight and six of their last seven. This team has scored more then 65 points just four times this season. ODU's defense has been porous on the road, but I don't think there will be many issues for them considering Jon Davis is Charlotte's only option. The Monarchs have held opponents to 65 points or less 13 times this season. They are clearly the better team, but we've also got the odd timed tip-off of 4 o clock this afternoon. Last year these two played very high scoring games, but I just can't see that being the case in this one. |
|||||||
01-19-19 | Cal Poly +8 v. UC-Davis | 63-75 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
It's a battle of four win teams in California as UC Davis hosts Cal Poly. We faded UC Davis last time out with great success as their losing streak extended to three in a row. The team has a terrible offense and has four wins against Holy Names, William Jessup, NAU and Texas A&M Corpus Christi. They don't have a ton of threats on offense and don't have much of a homecourt advantage. Cal Poly also has four wins against Holy Names, Bethune Cookman, USC Upstate and Menlo College. They have a bit more talent with a solid point guard and a really good shooter from the outside. They hung tough somewhat at UCSB last week and have close losses at Cal and Fresno State as well as Portland. This team has more talent and if they play defense, they could win this one outright. Take the points and say thank you. |
|||||||
01-19-19 | Towson v. Delaware -5 | 64-63 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 0 m | Show | |
I'll go against the line move and take the home team in this one. Towson has lost six straight and have won just twice on the road. This team struggles to score and Delaware plays some pretty good defense. I'm not quite sure where the edge is with the road team. The Blue Hens have some solid scorers and have won five of their last six. Sure they've lost a couple of games at home, but I don't see it here. Towson has won the last four meetings, but I just don't see it here. |
|||||||
01-19-19 | Pennsylvania v. Temple OVER 141.5 | 77-70 | Win | 100 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
It's the last matchup for Fran Dunphy against his former team Penn. Temple has won four of their last five and it's because of a smoking hot offense putting up nearly 80 points per game. The Owls are getting contributions from others then Rose and Alston in the backcourt and that's making them tougher. The defense could be a little bit better as they allow their opponents to shoot around 48% from the field over their last five contests. Penn has lost four straight and the bottom has dropped out a bit as they deal with some injuries. The offense has scuffled, but that's also because they played Princeton twice and their tough defense. This team has a 78-75 win over Villanova and has previously not had issues scoring so it's been possible. I just don't think the Owls have much of a problem scoring and think they allow at least 60 or so from Penn. This one should go over the total. |
|||||||
01-19-19 | NC-Greensboro v. East Tennessee State OVER 137.5 | 75-68 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
ETSU has gone over in four of five and five of their last seven and a lot of it is because of their offense. They have shot 50% or better five times in their last seven contests and have scored 85, 96, 81 and 79 in their last four home games. Balance is a big thing with this team and so is their occasionally leaky defense. They just gave up 82 to VMI last time out. Greensboro is an uber talented team and they've lost just twice since December 1st. This team wants to play a bit slower, but they've also gotten into some faster games playing an 83-75 contest at Samford. They also won at Elon 75-74 and 84-65 at Delaware. I really like the weapons they can throw at their opponents. I think both of these teams will score and it'll be a higher paced game. |
|||||||
01-19-19 | Kentucky v. Auburn OVER 146 | 82-80 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
This is a big game for Auburn to flex their muscles as a favorite vs. Kentucky. The Wildcats have won six of their last seven and some of it is because of improved defense, but of course it's also because of weaker opponents. Kentucky has four double digit scorers and Ashton Hagans who is the starting point guard. They play a medium paced kind of game that could be dragged into a faster pace at Auburn. The Tigers have scored 80 or more 10 times this season and have gone over in five of their eight lined home games. They've got the better backcourt and will want to get up and down so the crowd gets into it. Last year this was a 76-66 game at Auburn with a total of 156.5. Vegas wised up and made it lower so now I think it'll go over. This one should be fun. |
|||||||
01-19-19 | Northern Iowa v. Valparaiso -4 | 66-75 | Win | 100 | 5 h 25 m | Show | |
UNI has won three of their last five, but I still don't believe in them on the road in a tough environment. The team did beat up Bradley at their place at the start of January, but still, they struggle offensively and rely on a defense to keep them in ballgames. The Panthers have one double-digit scorer in AJ Green and a bunch of role players. Valpo has a lot more depth with five guys who score seven points per game or more. It looks like Ryan Fazekas could be available for this one. Valpo has won five of their last six with three of those coming at home. They beat Bradley by 11 there and UC Riverside by nine. I like the Crusaders in this one. |
|||||||
01-19-19 | Akron v. Miami-OH +2 | 61-68 | Win | 100 | 6 h 50 m | Show | |
Miami-Ohio has won three straight meetings with Akron and get to host them on Saturday. I've watched the RedHawks several times and have been impressed with their offense and their athleticism. Miami-Ohio is 6-2 at home where they score over 80 and allow 65.2 points per game. Defense is not their strong suit and is the main reason why they have not won in conference yet. Akron is 2-6 on the road where they don't shoot as well and are a little bit more leaky on defense. The Redhawks are 0-4 in the MAC but they've already played at Toledo and Buffalo and hosted NIU and CMU who are probably the four best teams in the conference. I think they are a pretty solid team and at home, I'll take them to win this one outright. |

01-19-19 | Arkansas-Little Rock +4 v. Texas-Arlington | 73-82 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 18 m | Show | |
Texas Arlington has won three straight, but I really don't believe they can sustain that. This is a terrible shooting team that has cracked the 40% mark just three times this season. They've scored 70 or more just twice and are a far cry from what they used to be. The Mavericks are led by Edric Dennis and Brian Warren. Little Rock has won two of their last three and have an offense that is absolutely fantastic. The Trojans have four double digit scorers and three others who average around eight points per game. UALR has just one road win at Tennessee State this season, but I think we get a better effort after they lost by 18 at Texas State. |
|||||||
01-19-19 | Pittsburgh +7.5 v. Syracuse | 63-74 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 17 m | Show | |
This is somewhat of a situational play as Syracuse hosts Pittsburgh. The Orange are coming off a highly charged 95-91 overtime win at Duke and has had the whole week to hear how good they were. That came after a 14 point home loss to Georgia Tech in which they scored 59 points and shot 31.6% from the field. This team has covered three of their four ACC games so far, but their consistency is so hard to count on. The Panthers have won five of their last seven. They've played just three true road games losing by 1 at Iowa, by 10 at West Virginia and by six at NC State. This team clamps down on long range shooting with just three times shooting better then 40% from long range. They have four double-digit scorers, but not really a ton of awesome long range shooters themselves. There's a big snow storm in Syracuse right now so who knows what kind of crowd there will be for this one. Pittsburgh has covered 10 of their last 16 in Syracuse. I think this will be a close one on Saturday. |
|||||||
01-19-19 | Richmond +10 v. Davidson | 62-75 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 21 m | Show | |
The Spiders have won four straight in this series against Davidson including two straight in Belk Arena as double digit underdogs. Richmond is a horrific team outside of Grant Golden, Jacob Gilyard and Nathan Cayo. They don't have a ton of scoring from some of their smaller pieces and their defense has been porous at times. Richmond has won road games at GW and South Alabama and hung around at Georgetown in late November. Davidson is a hot and cold team that has gone 4-4 in their last eight contests. They've played a few close games at home mixed in with some blowouts as well. The Wildcats are the better team, but something about Richmond's matchup zone has given them fits. I could very easily look foolish when they lose by a ton, but I'm looking at them plus a ton of points. |
|||||||
01-17-19 | Oregon State v. Arizona State OVER 143 | 67-70 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 42 m | Show | |
Oregon State is in great form right now having won four straight and five of their last six. The Beavers put up 77 or more in each of those games which included a road win at Oregon 77-72. They lost a lower scoring game at St. Louis, but then played a game in the 70s against Long Beach State. Tres Tinkle is a very good scorer along with the Thompsons Stephen and Ethan. ASU likes a faster pace and they are averaging almost 80 points per game. At home, they've scored 83, 86, 66, 80 and 83 in their last five contests there. The defense has been very leaky at times allowing a whopping 96 to Utah and 85 at Stanford. They have five double digit scorers and Romello White who puts up 9.1 points per game. Last year in two games these two teams played 77-75 and 79-75 contests. I think this one is another over. |
|||||||
01-17-19 | UC-Santa Barbara -130 v. UC-Davis | 69-58 | Win | 100 | 13 h 5 m | Show | |
It's been a rough season so far for UC Davis who have just four wins with two of those coming against Holy Names and William Jessup. The other two are against NAU and Texas A&M Corpus Christi. The Aggies have not been competitive a ton this season with six losses by double digits. They can't score too well and the defense is mighty shaky. TJ Shorts II and Siler Schneider are their two biggest threats. The Gauchos are 13-3 on the season. They've won road games at Rice and Wyoming with a close four point loss at Washington. They are led by Ar'Mond Davis who is one of four double digit scorers. Max Heidegger is not in double digits yet, but he's still working his way back to health. UCSB won last year at UC-Davis and has taken 10 of their last 14 there. I'll take the Gauchos here at an almost pick'em. |
|||||||
01-17-19 | VMI v. East Tennessee State OVER 144.5 | 82-85 | Win | 100 | 23 h 38 m | Show | |
This has all the makings of an over and a blowout on Thursday night. East Tennessee has wins of 26, 23, 18, 18, 14 and 25 at home against division one opponents. In those games a lot of the time, ETSU scored 80 points or more. The Buccaneers have seven guys who average eight points per contest or more. On the road, VMI has allowed 96, 103, 93, 89, 65, 79, 92 and 94. The Keydets have very little interest in playing defense. The offense has had a little bit of success here and there, but their terrible defense is going to be the reason why this over hits. Last year, this game was 89-48 with the contest two years ago being 102-75. I think we could see a score in the 90s from ETSU. |
|||||||
01-17-19 | Wright State v. Youngstown State OVER 141.5 | 80-74 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
I think this is the classic case of the slower team having their pace pushed a bit on the road as Wright State plays at Youngstown State. The Penguins have a horrific defense that has allowed 70 points or more at home to every division one team they've faced there. Heck, Heidelberg scored 83 at Youngstown back on November 12th. Their offense isn't great but three times during this recent four game road stretch they scored 75 points or more. The Raiders are playing their fourth straight road game. They lost two of their last three with the win coming at Oakland 89-73. This team has slowed down the likes of Detroit and Mississippi State on the road, but they also got into a track meet with Kent State and the previously mentioned Oakland. Wright State is led by Billy Wampler, Cole Gentry, Loudon Love and Mark Hughes. WSU has gone over in eight of their last 10 road games where the total is 140 to 144.5. These two have gone over in eight of their last 13 meetings in Youngstown. Last year's road game was an 83-57 Raiders win. I think we could see something close to that again. |
|||||||
01-17-19 | NC-Wilmington v. Hofstra OVER 152 | 72-87 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
UNC Wilmington has played overs in three of four and four of their last six. They have a couple of solid pieces on offense with Devontae Cacok inside and Jeantal Cylla. UNCW has scored 80 points or more seven times this season, but they've also allowed that much 11 times as well. Hofstra is averaging over 80 points per game themselves. The Pride go as Justin Wright-Foreman and Eli Pemberton go. At home they've scored 70 or more in every contest including 90 or more four times. Their defense can be good and it can struggle as well. Outside of a blowout win over Delaware, they've allowed 70 or more to some of the lesser teams including Drexel and Elon. Last year, these two played three times with scores of 96-76, 90-70 and 93-88. I think this one is an over. |
|||||||
01-16-19 | UCF v. Wichita State OVER 137 | 67-75 | Win | 100 | 13 h 50 m | Show | |
UCF heads to Wichita State on Wednesday night. It's a 10 o clock tipoff so the game can be shown on television. The Golden Knights have won seven straight since losing at Missouri in early December. Their big three continues to do big things with BJ Taylor, Aubrey Dawkins and Tacko Fall. The team is playing some very good defense, although four opponents have put up 70 points or more. They've gone over in four of their last six because of an efficient offense. Wichita State' defense has abandoned them since the turn of the calendar allowing 85 to Memphis and Temple and 79 against Houston. They've struggled against the better teams on their schedule. Wichita has several solid options on offense led by Markis McDuffie. The Shockers have gone over in 28 of their last 44 AAC games. A lot of that was because of last year's great roster. I think this is a solid number to take advantage of the over with. |
|||||||
01-16-19 | Houston v. SMU | 69-58 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 50 m | Show | |
Houston is 16-1, but to me, I think they are still a bit overrated. The Cougars are doing it with solid offense and really good defense that is holding teams to 60.6 points per game and 36.5% shooting from the field. This team lost at Temple but won at Oklahoma State and BYU already. I think SMU can take advantage of them inside with Ethan Chargois and some of their other bigs. The Mustangs are 11-5 and have won five of their last six. They are getting back to their really good defensive ways and are very tough to beat at home. They do have two home losses already, but I like their chances in this one. Houston swept this series last year, but that came after SMU won both matchups in 2017. This is a feel play, but I like SMU at home as I'm not quite a buyer of the Cougars. |
|||||||
01-16-19 | Evansville v. Missouri State OVER 144.5 | 70-64 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 51 m | Show | |
Missouri State and Evansville are pretty close to the same team as they play on Wednesday. Both teams average around 71 possessions per game. Missouri State has eight players who average six points per game or more although the eighth one Obediah Church is out. This team has won four of their last six, but has had problems with defense. In their last game at home, they lost 82-66 to Valpo in a game that had a lower total. The squad has gone over in four straight at home. On the other side, you have Walter McCarty's Evansville who is going to a faster paced style. Despite that, they've gone under in seven of their last eight. That's why we are getting some value here in the number. The Purple Aces are led by KJ Riley, Shea Feehan and Marty Hill. Evansville has gone over in all four of their games against teams with a losing record. I think this one is an over. |
|||||||
01-16-19 | Temple v. East Carolina +8 | 85-74 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 35 m | Show | |
I'm not quite a believer in Temple and have made some money fading them. Vegas has a lot of respect for the Owls who have lost at East Carolina in each of the past two seasons. The Pirates aren't a good basketball team, but they've defended home court pretty well. ECU beat Cincy there earlier this month and has lost just twice there outright all season long. The Pirates are led by Jayden Gardner, Shawn Williams and Seth LeDay who average over 45 points per game. Temple has been a mixed bag so far this season winning at Wichita State, St. Joe's and Missouri, but also losing at UCF and Villanova. Their defense hasn't been very good lately allowing 80 to USF, 81 to Wichita and 78 to UCF. I really like Rose and Alston as a guard tandem and Pierre-Louis as a solid third option. Still, I think this one will be closer then Vegas does. I like the home team to make things interesting. |
|||||||
01-16-19 | Connecticut v. Tulsa +1 | 83-89 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
I'll start out by saying I'm not a huge Tulsa fan, but they do play better at home then they do on the road. They've got some balance offensively with five guys who average seven points per game or more. The Golden Hurricane have lost three of their last four after a five game win streak. The common theme is that they played some tougher opponents and struggled likewise on offense. Outside of a loss at home to Cincinnati in overtime though, they have defended homecourt well. UConn has lost four of their last five and are coming off a tough two point loss at Cincinnati. They have struggled horribly on the road losing at USF as a favorite. The team has just one win away from home and that came against Syracuse back in November. Jalen Adams, Alterique Gilbert and Christian Vital do a lot of the heavy lifting for the Huskies. Tulsa has covered 22 of their last 35 home games winning 28 of them outright. They have not lost the last three seasons as a home favorite of 3 points or less. Last year the Golden Hurricane took this game twice, each by just two points. I think they win again on Wednesday. |
|||||||
01-15-19 | Southern Illinois v. Illinois State OVER 135 | 58-59 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
Southern Illinois wants to play lower scoring games and they do for the most part at home. They've gone under in five straight home games. The problems come on the road where they are unable to slow down the pace as much. They lost 82-70 at Drake (I had that over), 73-65 at Buffalo, won at SEMO 83-73, 82-61 at SIU-E and 82-67 at Colorado State (had that over as well). There's no doubting the talent with Armon Fletcher back and there's no doubting that they are smarting a bit without Thik Bol patrolling the middle. Bol did play four minutes last time out so we'll see how much he gets in this one. Illinois State wants to play a little faster and also has struggled on defense from time-to-time. The Redbirds are finally healthy and have their options on offense with Milik Yarbrough, Phil Fayne and Zach Copeland. They have gone over in five of their last eight and six of their last 10 overall. Last year these two played three overs with totals around 140. I think this one is an over. |
|||||||
01-15-19 | South Florida +13 v. Cincinnati | 74-82 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
I've been very impressed by South Florida this season and they are surpassing expectations. The Bulls have just four losses on the season and they were by 3 against Georgetown, The Citadel and Tulsa and by 2 at Temple. USF is very good at getting to the free throw line even if they struggle from there. They also play decent defense from time to time. David Collins, LaQuincy Rideau and Alexis Yetna are their double digit scorers. Yetna is a double-double machine inside and he's going to be important against the bigger Bearcats. Cincinnati is not playing their best basketball right now with three close conference games. They beat UConn by 2, won at Tulsa by five and lost at ECU by two. Jarron Cumberland and Keith Williams are their biggest threats with Cane Broome and Justin Jenifer who need to step up. The Bulls have failed to cover in just four games. I think they can keep things close in this one. |
|||||||
01-15-19 | Kent State +5 v. Ohio | 66-52 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
We're getting Kent State off a horrendous 34 point loss at Eastern Michigan. The Golden Flashes have made me plenty of money and have played well on the road already winning at Oregon State, Detroit and Vanderbilt this season. Kent State is a lot better then they played last time obviously so you know the coach has their attention. Jaylin Walker is very tough to handle along with Jalen Avery, Antonio Williams and Philip Whittington. Ohio is coming off a really good 70-52 win at Ball State which came after losses to Bowling Green and NIU. The Bobcats also beat FIU by two points. They've covered just two of their last eight games right now and I just don't believe in them as a team. Their not as deep and certainly not as talented either. Ohio is 1-5 against the spread as a favorite and 3-9 overall ATS. Kent State split with Ohio last year and took two of three from Ohio in 2017. I think they are the better team here. |
|||||||
01-14-19 | Florida State v. Pittsburgh OVER 142.5 | 62-75 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh has been a bit of a surprise after Coach Capel took over. They have lost just five games so far this season and pretty much only the loss to Niagara was unexpected. The Panthers have gone over in two straight and three of their last five. Since joining conference play, they've allowed 86, 86 and 85 although they topped 80 in two of those games as well. The Panthers have four double digit scorers. FSU is coming off a horrendously tough loss just two days ago at home to Duke 80-78. They had the game won and now they've lost two of their last three. The Seminoles can score with the best of them and the defense has been fantastic. I think both of those let down a little bit though with the quick turnaround against Pittsburgh. There has to be a hangover for the Seminoles after playing in a sold out gym. FSU has gone 4-2-1 to the over in their last seven games. Last year these two played an 88-75 game when Pittsburgh was a lot worse. I think this one goes over. |
|||||||
01-13-19 | USC +5.5 v. Oregon | 60-81 | Loss | -108 | 20 h 14 m | Show | |
I'll fade Oregon again with the other school in California. USC saw their four game win streak end last time out when they lost in overtime to Oregon State. The biggest development in this one was the return of Kevin Porter Jr who is another weapon for the Trojans arsenal. Now they've got four double digit scorers as well as Shaq Aaron and Derryck Thornton at 9 ppg. Oregon has lost two straight at home and three of their last four overall. They are without Kenny Wooten, Bol Bol and Abu Kigab which means they are thin up front. The defense has been rather porous and teams are getting to the lane at will on them. I think this is a pretty ridiculous line and until Wooten comes back, the Ducks are very vulnerable. There's also potentially a hangover after the way they lost to UCLA. |
|||||||
01-12-19 | Arizona v. California OVER 143 | 87-65 | Win | 100 | 13 h 43 m | Show | |
This one could be ugly as California who is allowing almost 80 points per contest and 85 points over their last five contests. The big question will be if Paris Austin is in the lineup. He's missed the last two games and could help the offense of a team that may struggle with Arizona's length and defensive prowess. Cal has allowed 80 or more in six straight and seven of their last eight. Arizona's offense needs Justin Coleman out there and it looks like he'll play. The Wildcats have gone over in three of four and five of their last eight overall. They've given up 70 or more in all three true road games and five of their six contests not on their court overall. I think this one should see plenty of scoring. |
|||||||
01-12-19 | Nevada v. Fresno State OVER 145 | 74-64 | Loss | -109 | 21 h 42 m | Show | |
Nevada and Fresno are two of the best teams in the Mountain West. Nevada is 15-1 averaging 81.1 points per game this season. They are averaging 81 ppg on the road while shooting 47.7% from the field. The defense has been worse too allowing over 70 points per contest. They are going up against Fresno who is feeling good about themselves. They are 8-1 at home putting up nearly 82 points per contest. Both of these teams play pretty good defense so that's a worry, but both also have a ton of weapons. I think this is a bit of a tighter game, but we're going over the total. |
|||||||
01-12-19 | Washington State v. Utah -11.5 | 70-88 | Win | 100 | 10 h 9 m | Show | |
This is a fade of Washington State without Robert Franks. Wazzu lost by 32 at Colorado last time out and has now lost two straight on the road by double digits. They have lost five straight and have allowed four of those opponents to shoot 50% or better from the field. This team plays no defense whatsoever and has one or two other scorers and that's about it. Utah has lost three of their last four, but they've taken care of business when they were clearly the better team. They beat NAU by 14, Florida A&M by 29, Miss Valley State by 35 and Maine by 14. Sedbrick Barefield and Donnie Tillman are the two best options on offense. Utah has won eight straight at home in this series and has covered seven of those. They need a blowout win and should get it on Saturday. |
|||||||
01-12-19 | Middle Tennessee v. Louisiana Tech UNDER 136.5 | 56-73 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
Louisiana Tech hosts Middle Tennessee on Saturday as they continue to play without starters Derric Jean and Exavian Christon. The team beat UAB 64-53 last time out and has had problems scoring consistently as of late. They've gone under in four straight and five of their last six as their defense has been pretty strong. This team has held five of their last six to 70 points or less. Middle Tennessee is brutal. They lost at Southern Miss 77-70 last time out. This team has scored 65 points or less in six of eight and nine of their last 12. There's one solid scorer and a lot of garbage around him on offense. The defense has been a bit leaky, but they've shown some decent effort from time to time. The pace of the game won't be too super fast and if it's not that close, then we don't have to worry about fouling late. MTSU has gone under in 16 of their last 23 games when the total is in the 140s. They've also gone under in eight of their 14 contests lined overall. I think this one is an under. |
|||||||
01-12-19 | Bowling Green v. Central Michigan -142 | 97-87 | Loss | -142 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
The Chippewas are playing some great basketball right now with five double digit scorers led by Larry Austin Jr. CMU has a wealth of offense that few teams can keep up with right now. The Chips have won seven straight and are coming off a pair of conference wins as underdogs. They are smoking hot offensively and have scored 80 or more in nine of their last 10. If they commit to defense, then they will be really tough to beat. Bowling Green has won six in a row after a two game losing skid. The Falcons are led by Justin Turner and double double machine Demajeo Wiggins who is averaging just over 14 points and just under 12 rebounds. They've lost on the road to Cleveland State and Hartford as a favorite or pick'em already this season and have also fallen at Detroit, VCU and St. John's. Bowling Green's defense has been pretty good, but if you look closer, the competition during this streak hasn't been great. At almost a pick'em situation, I'll take the home team who is hot offensively. |
|||||||
01-12-19 | South Alabama v. Arkansas-Little Rock -3 | 62-91 | Win | 100 | 6 h 8 m | Show | |
The Trojans are a team that have been on my radar quite a bit this season. They've got three double digit scorers and four others who average between 8 and 9 points per game. This team is feeling good after a 14 point win over Troy at home just two days ago. They have the offensive talent to keep up with a lot of teams, but the defense is a massive issue. They've shot it over 50% from the field nine times this season. South Alabama's a good team but not as much on the road. They lost by 1 at Arkansas State last time out and have also fallen at New Orleans, Southern Miss, Texas A&M and Auburn. There's some good guards on this team, but I really don't like their inside game which is where Little Rock can get them. I like the home team in this one. |
|||||||
01-12-19 | Toledo v. Western Michigan OVER 144 | 85-77 | Win | 100 | 15 h 36 m | Show | |
Toledo has lost two straight and is coming off getting undressed by Buffalo 110-80 last time out. They've played some higher scoring games on the road 75-74 at Marshall, 84-74 at Wright State and 87-86 at Oakland. The Rockets offense is fantastic and you can always count on them to score at least 75 or so. Western Michigan has lost five of six and seven of their last nine. They've gone over in four of their last seven contests. Michael Flowers, Seth Dugan, Josh Davis averaging 44 points per game combined. The Broncos have played just five home games this season. WMU has gone over in 22 of 35 of their games when the total is in the 140s. I think we get a better Toledo effort and this one goes over the total. |
|||||||
01-12-19 | South Florida +9.5 v. Temple | 80-82 | Win | 100 | 15 h 34 m | Show | |
South Florida is one of the biggest surprises in the country as they are 12-3 and 11-4 against the spread. The team plays very good defense and has shown they can hang on the road. They are led by David Collins, LaQuincy Rideau and Alexis Yetna who is averaging a double-double. On the road the Bulls have lost by 3 at Tulsa and beaten FIU by nine as a pick'em. They've also covered in neutral contests vs. Ohio and Georgetown. Temple is coming off a huge emotional home win over Houston handing them their first loss. The Owls are 3-3-1 against the spread in their last seven games. They've played three of the better teams in the conference in a row and now it's a down game in a lesser atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon. I think it's a recipe for a letdown. Give me the road team. |
|||||||
01-12-19 | Wake Forest v. Miami-FL OVER 145 | 65-76 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
Miami is 0-3 in conference play as they host Wake Forest on Saturday. The Canes have lost to FSU, Louisville and NC State as their defense has been pretty bad. The Cardinals scored 90 while the Pack put up 87. This team doesn't have a ton of depth, but the guys they do play can score. The Canes have five double digit scorers and then five other guys who have played with three of those getting 10 mins or more per game. Wake Forest is 0-2 in conference with losses to Duke and Georgia Tech. They also play rather awful defense allowing 87 and 92 in those games. The Demon Deacons are led by Brandon Childress, Jaylen Hoard and Chaundee Brown. They should have the edge on the inside in this one. Last year this game was 87-81 in Florida. We could see a score around there, but don't have to in order to hit our over. |
|||||||
01-12-19 | Ohio v. Ball State OVER 146 | 70-52 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 30 m | Show | |
Ball State is an offensive juggernaut this season that is shooting 50.6% from the field while averaging nearly 84 per contest. The Cardinals have gone over in 11 of their 14 lined contests this season. At home, they've scored 95.3 points per game shooting 52.5% from the floor. Tayler Persons, Tahjai Teague and K.J. Walton are a potent trio of scorers. Ohio is 1-5 on the road and are scoring just 59.3 points per contest. The Bobcats have scored 70 or less in five straight and six of their last seven. The road has been unkind to their defense allowing 82 to Bowling Green, 95 to Purdue and 82 to Xavier. Ball State has gone over in 30 of their last 42 as a favorite and 20 of their last 29 at home including all five this season. I think this one is an over. |
|||||||
01-10-19 | UCLA +4.5 v. Oregon | 87-84 | Win | 100 | 20 h 16 m | Show | |
The Bruins have won two straight since firing Steve Alford and have done so in impressive fashion. In wins over Cal and Stanford, they put up over 90 points in each contest shooting over 50% as a team. The defense probably needs a little work, but there's at least a positive energy that wasn't there with Coach Alford. This team has played just one true road game losing 93-64 at Cincinnati back in December. They will have the advantage inside in this one with Moses Brown and some of the other forwards inside considering Oregon will be without Kenny Wooten and Bol Bol. Brown is shooting almost 70% from the field. The students may not be back for this one and they are coming off a five point home loss to rival Oregon State in a contest that saw the Beavers shoot 51% from the field. Besides Bol and Wooten, Abu Kigab has transferred. They struggled to beat Florida A&M as a 28.5 point favorite a few weeks ago as well. I just don't think the Ducks are in a good spot right now so give me the road team and their new energy. |
|||||||
01-10-19 | South Alabama v. Arkansas State OVER 144.5 | 65-66 | Loss | -109 | 19 h 16 m | Show | |
Arkansas State returns home after splitting two in Louisiana against Monroe and Lafayette. The Red Wolves have scored 70 or more in all five of their home games this season. Their defense has been pretty porous on the road and overall allowing 70 or more to all but two division one opponents. The Red Wolves offense rolls through Ty Cockfield and Marquis Eaton who average over 32 points per game. South Alabama has a crisp offense that has shot 50% or better in five of their last six contests. They've struggled a bit though on the road scoring 67 points or less in every game. Still, they've got some solid weapons and with a semi-tight line, we should see FT's come into the mix. I think this one is an over. |

01-10-19 | Cleveland State +8 v. IUPU-Indianapolis | 74-90 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
Cleveland State is playing their third straight road game as they travel to IUPUI. The Vikings have gone 9-7 against the spread and have covered three times on the road including at Toledo, DePaul and last time out against Green Bay. Tyree Appleby and Stefan Kenic are their leading scorers. IUPUI has lost four of their last five although all of those have come on the road. The victory came by at UIC as a four point underdog. IUPUI has lost just once at home falling to Ball State back in early December. The Jags are led by Camron Justice and Jaylen Minnett who average over 30 points per game combined. Sometimes there are some struggles for a team after a long road trip when they return home. In an odd trend, the Vikings have covered seven of their nine contests after allowing 80 points or more. IUPUI has failed to cover in 18 of their last 32 games against a team with a losing record. These two played two close games last year and I think they will do so again this year. |
|||||||
01-10-19 | Charlotte v. Florida International -9 | 66-69 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 1 m | Show | |
Charlotte is 3-10 on the season with the three wins coming at home against ECU, Longwood and Oklahoma State. The 49ers are absolutely abysmal offensively scoring 60 or less eight times this season. Outside of Jon Davis, there's not a ton of options offensively. Malik Martin is dealing with a knee ailment and is questionable for the game. In their true road games, they lost by 20 at Davidson, by eight at Charleston and by 24 at Wake Forest. In a tourney in Hawaii, they picked up losses by 25, 14 and 15. FIU is not hurting for offense. Brian Beard Jr. leads four double digit scorers with with three others averaging between seven and nine points per game. FIU is 10-5 on the year. They've been held to less then 70 points just twice and those were both on the road. It is scary because four of their wins are against lower level teams, but this squad is good enough to score points and hold Charlotte down. This is not a good 49ers team. Last year FIU won this game at home by 20 points. |
|||||||
01-09-19 | Cal Poly v. UC-Santa Barbara OVER 132 | 56-65 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 45 m | Show | |
UCSB has been rolling as of late with four overs in their last four lined contests. The Gauchos have seen things get much better since Max Heidegger came back although he is injured once again. Still, even without him, they have four double digit scorers led by Ar'Mond Davis. UCSB has shot the ball at around 49% or better in four of their last five. They are putting up good defensive numbers, but they've faced some weaker competition this season. Yes, they are one of the slower paced teams in the league, but they are efficient it seems. Cal Poly is somewhat underwhelming as a team. They've gone over in seven of their last 10 lined games. The team's defense is non-existent holding just three teams to less then 70 points with two of those being Holy Names and Texas State. Donovan Fields, Mark Crowe and Marcellus Garrick are the team's double digit scorers. Last year these two teams played three games 75-53, 86-61 and 80-79. I think this one goes over. |
|||||||
01-09-19 | Fresno State v. Utah State OVER 142 | 78-77 | Win | 100 | 11 h 46 m | Show | |
The Aggies and Fresno State play on Wednesday night. Utah State has been very efficient this season at home where they've scored 70 or more in all but one contest. They are also putting up incredible defensive numbers, but upon further look, it's been done against a pretty easy non-conference schedule. The Aggies have been double digit favorites six times already this season. When facing competent offensive teams they allowed 87 to Arizona State, 95 to BYU and 72 to Nevada. Sam Merrill is really good with Dwayne Brown Jr and Neemias Queta are solid scorers. Fresno State has gone under in four straight games after a stretch of seven overs in nine lined games. This team has a very good offense that is very efficient. Their defense is also putting up good numbers, but once again, they've been favored by 10 points or more seven times including each of their last six. I really like Braxton Huggins along with Deshon Taylor, Nate Grimes and New Williams. Last year these two went over in Utah State and went under in Fresno. I think this one is an over on Wednesday. |
|||||||
01-09-19 | Virginia Tech v. Georgia Tech +7.5 | 52-49 | Win | 100 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
The Yellow Jackets might be one of the toughest teams to figure out. Over the span of a week they won at Arkansas after losing by 10 at home to Gardner Webb as a 14 point favorite. Jose Alvarado and Brandon Alston are their double digit scorers with several other options to turn to. Other then the Gardner Webb loss, they fell to Georgia, St. John's, Tennessee and Northwestern. Virginia Tech is the 9th ranked team in the country so they are going to get everyone's best shot. They lost their only true road game 63-62 at Penn State. This team plays fantastic defense and has a coldly efficient offense. Still, they aren't as deep as i'd like and if they aren't hitting their threes then things could get interesting. Georgia Tech is holding opponents to just 28.4% from long range. Georgia Tech lost by 20 at home to these guys last year. I think it's a closer game this season. |
|||||||
01-08-19 | Southern Illinois v. Drake OVER 141 | 70-82 | Win | 100 | 20 h 58 m | Show | |
These two teams have had personnel changes that have affected them over the past week or so. SIU brought back Armon Fletcher from suspension and they won 58-51 at Northern Iowa. This team wants to play a slower game and has had five straight unders, but that came after a stretch of six overs over seven contests. They've played 83-73, 82-61 and 82-67 road games back in early December. The loss of Thik Bol will hurt in the middle as well. They have five double digit scorers though and can beat you in a bunch of different ways. Drake's season turned now that Nick Norton is out with the ACL injury. Their defense isn't very good, but they have shown some efficiency on offense. The Bulldogs have scored 70 or more in four straight. I really think that this one is played with some pace and it'll go over the total. |
|||||||
01-08-19 | Bradley v. Valparaiso -3.5 | 50-61 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
Two teams heading in different directions play as Valpo hosts Bradley. Valpo has won three straight and four of their last six. They have had their ups and downs at home winning two straight there after losing to Ball State and High Point. Ryan Fazekas, Derrik Smits, Bakari Evelyn and Markus Golder are their best options on offense with Smits shooting over 60% from the field. Bradley has lost their first two conference games and six of their last eight overall. For the most part, they've been a terrible road team losing by 5 at Indiana State and Georgia Southern and by 12 at IUPUI. They picked up a win at Little Rock after starting horrendously. The Braves have some depth, but are lacking in terms of scoring punch outside of Darrell Brown and Elijah Childs. Bradley is 10-20 against the spread in their last 30 lined road games winning just seven of them outright. Valpo has not covered a home game yet but I think it happens on Tuesday. |
|||||||
01-08-19 | Akron v. Central Michigan OVER 142 | 86-88 | Win | 100 | 19 h 59 m | Show | |
Central Michigan has won six straight as they host Akron on Tuesday. The Chippewas have an extremely potent offense and have scored 80 points or more in every one of their home games this season. Now that number is slightly skewed by the three games against teams from the lower levels. The Chips are led by Larry Austin Jr, Shawn Roundtree, Kevin McKay and David DiLeo who average almost 60 points per game combined. Their defense is very questionable though as seven straight opponents have cracked the 70 point mark. Akron wants a lower scoring game and played games in the 60s at Nevada and Fort Wayne already this season. The Zips are coming off a 56-48 win at home against Western Michigan. Their offense has been very hot and cold this season. Daniel Utomi and Jimond Ivey are a solid duo that should be able to get whatever they want. CMU has gone over in 26 of their last 32 games as an underdog and 28 of their last 40 in the MAC. At CMU, I think this one is a higher scoring game. |
|||||||
01-06-19 | St Bonaventure +5.5 v. George Mason | 53-68 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
St. Bonaventure is one of the best 4-9 teams in the country. They've lost four straight entering this one, but they are getting healthy at the right time. With Courtney Stockard and LaDarien Griffin in the lineup, they are a completely different team. Yes, it's been ugly for them offensively the last two games, but those are two good defenses. This team has plenty of offensive firepower with Poyser and Lofton as well. George Mason has won five of their last seven after losing five of their first seven. The Patriots have already lost to Vermont, American and Penn at home this season and won't have the students there to make it much of an atmosphere. George Mason has a little bit more depth then the Bonnies, but they are very inconsistent. I definitely see both sides scoring the basketball and I like the road team plus the points. |
|||||||
01-06-19 | St Bonaventure v. George Mason OVER 134 | 53-68 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |

01-06-19 | Temple v. Wichita State | 85-81 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
It's been a rough year for the Shockers this year, but they are home where they've lost just once this season. This team has been bad offensively at times scoring just 54 at VCU, 48 at Oklahoma and 53 against Davidson. They've also sprinkled in five performances scoring 80 points or more. Markis McDuffie and Samajae Haynes-Jones are a solid duo with Jaime Echenique patrolling the middle. The problem is that the depth just isn't there on a night to night basis. You could say the same thing for Temple who relies on Alston and Rose. The Owls have pieces that can step up, but getting them to do so on a consistent basis has been tough. Temple has road wins at St. Joe and Missouri but also lost at UCF last time out when they couldn't make the stops when it mattered. I lean to the home team in this one as the Owls just don't inspire me right now. |
|||||||
01-06-19 | Richmond v. Dayton OVER 144.5 | 48-72 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 30 m | Show | |
Dayton's offense has been tough to stop at home as of late. The Flyers have scored 94, 81, 85 and 98 in their last four contests at UD Arena. Josh Cunningham leads six guys who score eight points per game or more. The Flyers defense has been up and down. They've allowed 70 or more in four of their last five. The team has played in six overs as well. Richmond is coming in with offensive momentum having scored 91 and 74 in wins over South Alabama and High Point. Their defense has been very hot and cold and I'll take the chance that they struggle in this one. The group has played just two true road games allowing 82 at South Alabama and 90 at Georgetown. The Spiders go as Grant Golden and Jacob Gilyard go. This one feels like an over. |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Santa Clara v. Gonzaga OVER 153.5 | 48-91 | Loss | -109 | 22 h 3 m | Show | |
Gonzaga may get Killian Tillie and Geno Crandall back for this one with Tillie potentially playing his first action of the season. Gonzaga has scored 90 or more in three of their last five and have cracked the 100 point mark five times. They are an overwhelming monster offensively. The reason this total is lower is because they've cracked down defensively allowing 55 or less in four straight. Santa Clara has won six straight and eight of their last nine. They've got a pretty good offense that put up 102 on USC at home in mid December. They won't get anywhere near that, but I think they can put up some points on the Zags. They also allowed 92 to USC and 80 to Minnesota and 82 to Washington. They won't be able to slow down the juggernaut so I could see a 100-60 type game. |
|||||||
01-05-19 | San Francisco v. Pepperdine +7.5 | 72-69 | Win | 100 | 21 h 0 m | Show | |
Situational play right here as San Francisco comes to town to play Pepperdine. This is a huge sandwich for the Dons who just beat St. Mary's and host Gonzaga next. San Fran is 2-1 in true road games losing their last one 73-71 at UCSB just a few days ago. There's no denying the talent on that side of the ball but they are in a new position as a good squad with the league titans around them. I like Pepperdine and they are coming off a 15 point win over Loyola Marymount as an underdog. They have won six of their seven home games and have a ton of talent. Even without Kameron Edwards, the team has five double digit scorers. I just don't think we get a focused effort from the road team in this one. |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Southern Illinois v. Northern Iowa +1 | 58-51 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 20 m | Show | |
Southern Illinois will be without Thik Bol for a few weeks due to injury. He joins Armon Fletcher on the sidelines so a team that's not deep gets a little shallower. Sean Lloyd Jr, Eric McGill, Kavion Pippen and Aaron Cook become more important in terms of scoring. This team is 3-2 on the road this season, but they've lost three of their last four overall. UNI is feeling good about themselves after an 18 point win at Bradley. They've won two of their last three as the defense is trying to get a lot better. The Panthers have AJ Green as their leading scorer with several others chipping in. UNI was swept by the Salukis last year. This one figures to be low scoring and rather ugly. |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Western Kentucky +4.5 v. Old Dominion | 66-69 | Win | 100 | 20 h 60 m | Show | |
The Hilltoppers are smoking hot right now during this three game win streak. WKU is shooting 50% or better in three straight and six of their last eight games. They have wins over Wisconsin and St. Mary's and have won twice on the road. Taveion Hollingsworth leads three guys who average double digits including Charles Bassey who puts up nearly a double double. Josh Anderson is also pretty important and maybe Lamonte Bearden gets in despite his ankle injury. ODU has Caver and Stith as their best scorers. The problem is the loss of the Godwin kid who added some outside scoring. They don't have a ton of weapons so the defense has to be on point. ODU lost to Marshall last time out and were losing a lot of the game. WKU has dominated this series a bit lately. I think they are worth a look as an underdog here. |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Liberty v. Florida Gulf Coast OVER 139.5 | 81-63 | Win | 100 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
Liberty is one of the slowest paced teams in the league yet their efficiency is so good that they put up very nice offensive numbers. This team has a ton of talent and is riding high off a win over UCLA on the road. Now they head to Florida Gulf Coast where defense is optional. This squad nearly lost to a school called Keiser at home in an 87-85 game. This one is an over. |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Chattanooga v. East Tennessee State OVER 137.5 | 70-96 | Win | 100 | 17 h 4 m | Show | |
Chattanooga's in a good spot offensively hitting 50% or more in four straight while going 70 points or more in nine straight. They've got some solid balance and also show the lack of defense on the road. The team has allowed 80 or more four times on the road and gave up 69 at Charlotte which is like 80 points. East Tennessee State has gone over in two of their last three. They had a stretch of five overs in six games back in November into December. ETSU and Chattanooga run about the same amount of tempo according to kenpom. They've scored 70 or more in four straight and six of their last seven. The numbers seem to say that this one could be played in the 70s. Give me the over. |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Arkansas State v. Louisiana-Monroe OVER 146 | 75-85 | Win | 100 | 16 h 59 m | Show | |
We hit easily the over in the Monroe/UALR game last time out and will go back to the well once again. The Warhawks have gone over in three straight and four of their last five lined games. ULM plays at a really show pace, but their offense has clicked quite a bit as of late. They've scored over 90 points three times with the likes of Daishon Smith, Michael Ertel, Travis Munnings and JD Williams who account for almost 65 points per game. ASU's offense is in good form too. They've scored 70 or more in two straight and eight of their last 10 contests. Their problem has been on defense allowing 83, 82, 72, 82, 96 over their last five road games. Ty Cockfield does a lot of the heavy lifting with Marquis Eaton the second leading scorer. ULM has gone over in 15 of their last 23 at home. I'll take the over. |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Central Michigan v. Miami-OH OVER 149 | 84-77 | Win | 100 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
The Chippewas hit the road for the start of MAC play on Saturday against Miami-Ohio. The Chips have lost just two games at TCU and against Weber State on a neutral court. CMU has road wins at Youngstown State and Sam Houston State as well. They will have the best players on the court with Larry Austin Jr and Shawn Roundtree as well as Kevin McKay. The offense has scored 80 points or more in five straight and seven of their last eight. Miami-Ohio is coming off a three point home win and has won five of their last six. The Redhawks have some solid talent but have played a weaker schedule. Still, there's some talent there and a good offense that has scored 70 or more in every home game this season. This one should be an up and down affair with the road team being worth a look. |
|||||||
01-05-19 | St. John's v. Georgetown +2.5 | 97-94 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 29 m | Show | |
I lost this writeup too. St. John's off a big emotional win with Villanova on deck. Georgetown off an emotional road win too, but I'm just not buying the Red Storm yet. I know they have the backcourt edge, but really I think Georgetown can pound them down low. I'll like this more if I found out Mourning or McClung are playing. Maybe wait until closer to tip off to lock this in. |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Boston College v. Virginia Tech OVER 142 | 66-77 | Win | 100 | 4 h 30 m | Show | |
I wrote a longer writeup on this but my computer decided to delete it. Basically, I like Tech's offense to get whatever they want against BC. Tech's defense has put up good numbers, but against lesser competition. I expect this one to be played in the 70s and maybe the home team gets to 80 so give me the over. |
|||||||
01-03-19 | Florida Atlantic +6.5 v. UAB | 50-67 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
UAB has lost three of their last five entering this one against Florida Atlantic. The Blazers have struggled lately beating a lower level team by eight last time out. They lost at home to Troy and had lackluster wins there against Northern Alabama and New Orleans. UAB has just four covers this season so far and I still expect there to be a half empty gym with kids still on break. FAU has wins already at Illinois and UCF this season and has played at Miami and Arkansas State as well. They have not collapsed since the unfortunate ACL injury for leading scorer Jailyn Ingram. They have also been without Xavian Stapleton meaning they need more from Anthony Adger and Jaylen Sebree. UAB is 27-39 against the spread the last three seasons. I think the road team is worth the look in this one. |
|||||||
01-03-19 | Utah v. Arizona State OVER 145.5 | 96-86 | Win | 100 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
Arizona State is coming off a loss to Princeton as they host Utah on Thursday. The Sun Devils offense is very hot and cold as of late alternating games in the 60s and 70s. They've scored 80 or more seven times already this season. Luguentz Dort leads six players who score nine points or more per contest. The team's defense could be better. They've allowed 70 or more in seven of their last eight. Utah is almost the same type team that can score and struggle on defense. They just allowed 86 to Nevada in an 86-71. Utah has played just two true road games losing 88-61 at Kentucky and 78-69 at Minnesota. Sedrick Barefield leads six scorers of seven points per game or more. ASU has gone over in nine of their last 10 games when the total is in the 140s. I think this one continues that. |
|||||||
01-03-19 | Arkansas-Little Rock v. Louisiana-Monroe OVER 145.5 | 84-97 | Win | 100 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
Little Rock is averaging almost 80 points per game while shooting nearly 50% from the field. Their problem is that they are allowing almost 80 points as well. Skewing those numbers just a bit are the last two games allowing 102 to Georgetown and 99 to Memphis. I like the Trojans a lot and figure to be on them in conference play. They've got a ton of scorers led by Rayjon Tucker and Nikola Maric. Monroe is a slower tempo team but they are efficient at home. They've scored 80 or more three times at home and four times overall. Daishon Smith has averaged over 18 points per game in nine outings. They've got four really solid scorers. The over has hit in three of their last four lined contests. Give me the over in this one. |
|||||||
01-03-19 | Western Kentucky v. Charlotte +10 | 68-50 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 19 m | Show | |
This is my hold your nose play on Thursday because Charlotte is awful, but I like this spot for them. Western Kentucky has won two straight after a stretch of losing five of seven. The Hilltoppers are coming off emotional home wins as an underdog against Wisconsin and St. Mary's and have a trip to Old Dominion who is considered a measuring stick game in conference. This team lost by 6 at Belmont, by 6 at Missouri State and by 9 at Indiana State. They were favored against the Missouri Valley teams in those games. Charlotte has just three wins this season, but they've all come at home against ECU, Longwood and Oklahoma State. Jon Davis might be the best player on the court other then the Bassey kid. I understand the 49ers suck and probably will regret this pick, but I think the Toppers may overlook this one and stumble to the finish. |
|||||||
01-03-19 | William & Mary v. Delaware OVER 146 | 56-58 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
Delaware is 9-6 on the season as they host William and Mary. These two teams are similar offensively with both averaging around 74 points per game while shooting just under 47% from the field. The difference comes on defense where the Tribe allow nearly 80 points per contest. Delaware is one of the slower paced teams in the country yet they've cracked the 80 point mark three times this season. The Blue Hens have gone over in eight of their last 10 games and are led by Eric Carter offensively. Delaware has five guys who average nine points per contest or more with Ryan Allen joining them after playing just four contests so far. William and Mary has allowed 72, 71, 71, 84, 73, 100 and 84 on the road. The question is how good will the offense be with Nathan Knight and Justin Pierce leading the way. William and Mary has had totals in the 140s just nine times the last three seasons and have gone over six times. Last year these two played twice with the scores being 83-66 and 90-65. I think the over is in play here. |
|||||||
01-03-19 | The Citadel v. Wofford OVER 169 | 81-112 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
This is my first time dipping into the crazy world of the Citadel who averages 99.1 points per game with their crazy up and down style of basketball. They take early shots and allow baskets the other way. It's worked a lot to the tune of a 9-3 record although they are coming off a 110-94 loss to Longwood last time out. They've scored 90 or more six times although three of those came against lower level teams. The defense has been better although they have allowed over 90 four times as well. Wofford should thrive in this one as they don't really need the help to score points. They've put up 80 or more in four of their last five and eight times overall. We've made a lot of money off the Terriers who have a ton of talent themselves. Last year these two played an 80-78 and a 109-92 game. The previous year it was 100-90 and 104-103 with the Citadel actually winning twice over those four contests. I think this one is an over as well as someone gets to 100. |
|||||||
01-02-19 | Illinois State v. Valparaiso OVER 142.5 | 56-58 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 8 m | Show | |
Valpo has lost three of their last five as they begin MVC play. The Crusaders offense is very hot and cold scoring 97, 49, 61, 82, 53, 82 over their last six contests. Their defense has been a problem too allowing 70 points or more in four of their last six contests. Valpo does play a bit of a slower pace which is a concern, but Illinois State has weapons. The Crusaders have three double digit scorers with the fourth being Bakari Evelyn who may or may not be available. ISU has lost four of their last five and has had their own issues with defense allowing 75 or more in six straight games. The Redbirds are healthy right now and have four really solid scorers to lead the way. I'm coming really close to taking them to win this game, but instead I think the over is worth a look. |
|||||||
01-02-19 | Missouri State v. Southern Illinois OVER 144 | 70-75 | Win | 100 | 21 h 1 m | Show | |
Missouri State has won two straight and three of their last five as they travel to Southern Illinois. The Bears have an ugly road record, but they also played at Oregon State, Air Force and Murray State among others. The Bears have a ton of scorers and are led by Tulio Da Silva's 16 ppg on 63.6% shooting from the field. Their problem is on defense where they've allowed 70 or more in 10 of their last 11 contests. Defense has not been a strength for SIU either during this losing streak allowing 79, 73 and 80 points. Leading scorer Armon Fletcher is suspended so that puts more on Sean Lloyd Jr, Eric McGill and Aaron Cook. Missouri State has gone over in seven of their 11 lined games. I think they can go over and potentially cover this one. |
|||||||
01-02-19 | North Dakota State v. Nebraska-Omaha -3 | 77-90 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
Omaha is hosting North Dakota State on Wednesday night. The Mavericks have fantastic balance with five scorers averaging nine points per game or more and they are led by Zach Jackson. They have won four of their last five and are coming off an odd loss to Oral Roberts at home in which they allowed them to shoot over 50% from the field. The team has played just six games at home and are 4-2 there with the loss to ORU and NAU on the resume. North Dakota State is doing well winning four of their last six. They've played five true road games losing at Montana, Iowa State, Gonzaga, ETSU and New Mexico State all by seven points or more. The Bison are led by Vinnie Shahid and Deng Geu. They have covered just 10 of their last 31 road games including one of five this season. I like the Mavs who have revenge on their mind after a better ND State team went in their building and won by 22. |

01-02-19 | Missouri State +7 v. Southern Illinois | 70-75 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
Missouri State has won two straight and three of their last five as they travel to Southern Illinois. The Bears have an ugly road record, but they also played at Oregon State, Air Force and Murray State among others. The Bears have a ton of scorers and are led by Tulio Da Silva's 16 ppg on 63.6% shooting from the field. Their problem is on defense where they've allowed 70 or more in 10 of their last 11 contests. Defense has not been a strength for SIU either during this losing streak allowing 79, 73 and 80 points. Leading scorer Armon Fletcher is suspended so that puts more on Sean Lloyd Jr, Eric McGill and Aaron Cook. Missouri State has gone over in seven of their 11 lined games. I think they can go over and potentially cover this one. |

01-02-19 | Cornell v. Wake Forest OVER 141 | 61-83 | Win | 100 | 20 h 19 m | Show | |
Wake Forest is 6-5 while Cornell is 6-7. Both of these teams have their faults with some of them coming on the defensive end. Wake allowed 73 at home to Gardner Webb last time out in a 73-69 loss to them. This team has also lost to Houston Baptist at home as a 16.5 point favorite. The Deacs have gone under in three straight after a brief stretch of three overs in four contests. They have the athletic edge and Brandon Childress should be able to get whatever he wants. Cornell has struggled in their road games against better talent allowing 81 at SMU, 86 at Toledo, 91 at UConn and 73 at NJIT. Matt Morgan and the Boeheim kid aren't terrible offensively. Yes, the Big Red could flop on offense, but I expect them to do their part and this over will hit. |

01-02-19 | Drake -1 v. Evansville | 77-82 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
Drake has been one of my favorite teams to back this season. They have won five straight and have only two losses. In true road games they won at Wisconsin-Milwaukee and UMKC. The team got blown out at Colorado and lost a tough one to Iowa State. The Bulldogs have solid guards and a good forward group. They are also deep as can be with seven guys who average six points per game or more. Evansville has lost three of four and four of their last six. They have a home loss to Jacksonville State and has pretty much fallen to any team that they were underdogs to outside of beating Ball State. I'll be on the Bulldogs often this season. |

12-31-18 | Albany v. Niagara OVER 144.5 | 79-74 | Win | 100 | 2 h 36 m | Show | |
Niagara's got a pretty nice offense and they want to push the pace at home. Albany's defense has struggled on the road but they have a decent offense. I think this one should go over the total. |

12-30-18 | New Mexico State v. Colorado State OVER 138.5 | 88-68 | Win | 100 | 6 h 41 m | Show | |
I'll take a shot here with the over. Colorado State's defense isn't great and I think New Mexico State plays a little faster on the road when they can't set their pace. Give me a shot on the over here. A lot of talent on both sides. |
