College Basketball Season Record: 96-83-9 — Betting 1 Unit to Win X
5:30pm cst: Northwestern Wildcats -1.5 vs. Penn State Nittany Lions; Total 143
Northwestern is coming off a dominating win against Michigan State at home and now they must face a Nittany Lions team off a strong outing against Michigan. Penn State was destroyed by that same Spartans team NW dominated but I feel this pesky Penn State squad will have success tonight. Penn State has had Northwestern’s number the past few years although this is a new regime for the Nittany Lions. This is just a bad spot for Northwestern coming off that huge home win and they have a date with the Badgers in Madison, WI.
Pick: Penn State +1.5 (-108) [via DraftKings]
6:00pm cst: Kansas Jayhawks -7 vs. UCF Knights; Total 145
This UCF team has not jumped out so far this season especially after a blowout road loss to Kansas State. Kansas is coming off a very advantageous officiated game in Allen Fieldhouse where the Jayhawks were able to hold onto the win vs. TCU. Now, they must face a defensively tough UCF team in their Big 12 home debut who also love to rebound. I think Kansas is getting too much respect here for a team that has not played well on the road so far this season. I’ll take the points. Not sure if UCF has the offense to pull off the upset.
Pick: UCF +7 (-110) [via DraftKings]
6:00pm cst: Tennessee Volunteers -2 vs. Mississippi State Bulldogs; 138
We should have a dog fight in this one (pun intended). Tennessee dominated Ole Miss at home on Saturday and Mississippi State loss a very close road game to South Carolina. Miss. State plays tough defense and they have better scoring than last season. For me, the jury is still out on the Vols especially when they have to play on the road. Tennessee has dominated this meeting but this will be the best Bulldogs team they have faced. I’ll take the home dog to bark tonight.
Pick: Mississippi State +2 (-110) [via DraftKings]
6:00pm cst: East Carolina Pirates vs. Temple Owls -1; Total 141
East Carolina is much improved but they still have a long ways to go. Temple has dominated this series and are coming off a great home win against Wichita State. A very tight number but I like the Owls here at home. This should be a very ugly defensive game.
Pick: Temple -1 (-110) [via DraftKings]
7:00pm cst: North Carolina Tar Heels -3 vs. North Carolina State Wolfpack; Total 153
NC State Wolfpack like to run and try and speed teams up. The only problem is they speed themselves up too fast and tend to lose control. They fall in love with the three ball and if it is not falling consistently they usually find themselves in trouble. North Carolina has proven they can play on the road after having a great game against Clemson. I like the Tar Heels to take care of business per usual.
Pick: North Carolina -3 (-108) [via DraftKings]
7:30pm cst: UCONN Huskies -4.5 vs. Xavier Musketeers; Total 149.5
We know that UCONN is a great team and one of our top five teams in the country but they tend to struggle against Big East opponents. Xavier is one of them. The Musketeers have given the Huskies problems in the past and it might happen again tonight. Xavier’s offense can struggle so they will need to continue to play strong defense and rebound.
Pick: Xavier +4.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
7:30pm cst: Wisconsin Badgers vs. Ohio State Buckeyes -2; Total 137
Ohio State dominated this Wisconsin team in Madison and now they play host. The Buckeyes are still a very underrated on both sides of the ball. In my opinion this is a short number that Ohio State should cover if they are legit. They should be able to take advantage in the rebounding department.
Pick: Ohio State -2 (-110) [via DraftKings]
8:00pm cst: Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Georgia Bulldogs -2; Total 151
In the new YoutTube video below I went off on quite the rant about Arkansas’ head coach Eric Musselman and his lack of coaching. Arkansas is trending down. Georgia is a very underrated team with a bad loss to Georgia Tech. I think they get themselves a legit SEC win at home. Musselman’s seat keeps getting hotter.
Pick: Georgia -2 (-110) [via DraftKings]
8:00pm cst: Florida Gators -2.5 vs. Ole Miss Rebels; Total 157
This will definitely be the biggest game of Chris Beard’s Ole Miss era and I like the Rebs chances here. I am not big on this Florida team who loses every tough game. They are a live and die by the three type of team as well. This is a perfect set up for the Rebels to get a huge win after being embarrassed by Tennessee.
Pick: Ole Miss +2.5 (-112) [via DraftKings]
