**Gonzaga -4.5 vs Iowa: What a way to kick off the College basketball slate. Iowa is a monster, but, as good as their underlying numbers are in their first 4 games, they are artificially pumped up by 2 games vs directional schools (N Illinois and Western Illinois). Gonzaga is no stranger to hopping on charter flights out of Spokane to travel and … [Read more...]

Monmouth +1.5 vs St.Peters: St. Peters has looked good vs the likes of Niagara and Stony Brook, but I believe Monmouth is better than both of those teams. Monmouth can score and they looked good in their only game so far, a loss to Hofstra, where the Pride shot lights out. St. Peters' underlying numbers are not headed in the right direction and I … [Read more...]

Wyoming -10.5 vs Neb Omaha: I’ve been fading Nebraska Omaha in this early part of the season and will continue to here, as this is not a good matchup for the Mavericks. Wyoming is rested and has shown great improvement while riding the solid play of their offense-minded guards Marcus Williams and Hunter Maldonado. This line opened Wyoming -7.5 so … [Read more...]

Vanderbilt +6.5 vs Richmond: This spread is a tad higher than it should be in my opinion. Richmond has faced tougher so far, but fell flat on their face away from home against a very good West Virginia team. Vanderbilt's early underlying numbers are better and I like them at home in this situation. Against unranked teams, Vandy usually handles … [Read more...]

**Florida Atlantic -4.5 at Stetson: Florida Atlantic can get after it defensively and their athleticism will make for a pesky D vs a Stetson team that does not have much firepower with the ball. Stetson has covered only 3 of its last 9 games and this is not a good match up for them in my opinion. Lay the points with the road favorite … [Read more...]

**Rutgers +2.5 at Maryland: When it comes to a solid defense taking on a solid offense, I tend to lean to the defense and that's what we have here. Maryland's first test against a good defense did not go well as they lost by double digits to Clemson. I like Rutgers on the boards as well. There's a reason the point spread is hovering around only 2 … [Read more...]

**Syracuse -2.5 at Boston College: Boston College Coach Jim Christian wasn't able to figure out the Syracuse zone defense in both match ups last season as the Orangemen won both games by double digits. BC has played a tough schedule thus far and they get their first home game here, however underlying numbers just haven't been there for the Eagles … [Read more...]

**Kansas -24 vs Neb Omaha: Kansas has faced a couple of strong opponents early on and won both of those games by small margins. Jayhawks underlying numbers have gotten better in every game this season showing improvement and a willingness to be coached. Strong assist and turnover numbers stand out vs a Nebraska Omaha team that is near the basement … [Read more...]

**South Dakota -3 at North Dakota: In a battle of winless teams, South Dakota Guard Stanley Umude is the most experienced, and arguably the best, player on the floor tonight. He's scored in double digits in all 3 games this year vs the likes of Colorado, Nebraska, and Drake. North Dakota meanwhile has faced the likes of Miami of Ohio and recently … [Read more...]
