College Football & Basketball Plays for Saturday 12/5/20

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

**NC State -6 vs Ga Tech  (Circa line): NC State beats teams they are supposed to and that should be the case here. NC State is on a 4-1 ATS run at home and will look to close out their season on a positive note. Georgia Tech’s offense looked like a monster vs a Duke defense that is ranked #82 in the NCAA…I’ll gladly lay less than a TD vs Georgia Tech on the road vs a superior team.   

**BYU -10.5 at Coastal Carolina: At first glance, getting 10+ on home dog Coastal Carolina seems like a play and good for them for making this game happen. However, Coastal will see a defense unlike anything that has stepped in front of them this season. This is a game where defense and special teams may be key and I trust a more mature BYU team to make plays. Lay it.

Late Adds: Clemson -23 at Va Tech    Arizona State -2.5    Oregon State +13

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

**NC State +1.5 vs UConn: It’s a Wolfpack kinda day (see football pick above). NC State has looked like a force vs lesser competition but I think they pass the class test vs. a solid UConn squad on a neutral court. NC State is in the NCAA top 10 in shooting percentage and take care of the ball better than UConn. UConn’s win over a very good USC team was impressive but winning back to back games vs this level of quality opponents is not easy and I think NC State is ready to make a statement here.

**Gonzaga -2.5 vs Baylor: Gonzaga’s Jalen Suggs and  Drew Timme could very well be the difference in this great match up. Suggs’ athleticism along with the potential for Timme’s scoring vs Baylor’s front court should put Gonzaga in a position to win this. Baylor is no joke, and will be looking to jump to number one in college hoops, but Gonzaga always plays with a chip on their shoulder, regardless of where they are ranked.

Late Adds:  Kansas State -2.5     Santa Clara -1 canceled
