College Basketball Season Record: 51-44-3 — Betting 1 Unit to Win X
5:00pm cst: Liberty Flames vs. Florida Atlantic Owls -7.5; Total 144
Our followers know we are very high on FAU but this Liberty Flames team is starting to make some noise themselves. The Flames have one of the best offenses and three points shooting teams in the country. FAU is good on both sides of the ball and will be at home. I though this spread would have been around 4 or 5 points. This game should get up and down. The only thing that scares me is home teams have been wildly hot at home this week and this spread has not moved at all the past two days. I’m going to trust my numbers here.
Pick: Liberty +7.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
5:30pm cst: Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Butler Bulldogs -2.5; Total 138
Texas Tech was scorching hot their last game against Michigan in the 1H and they took care of the rest. Butler has been getting better each game in my opinion and will now be at home. This Texas Tech offense still cannot be trusted until we know more. They will definitely be tested today. I rather have the home team here. I still do not know how good Texas Tech is just yet. They are definitely improved from last season though, talent wise.
Pick: Butler -2.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
8:00pm cst: Creighton Blue Jays -8 vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys; Total 143
We know Creighton’s struggles for the past couple years has been they struggle with physical teams. Oklahoma should have a great crowd tonight. The Cowboys have a tough defense that likes to turn their defense into offense. I expect the Cowboys to make it an ugly game for the more finesse Blue Jays team. If they can knock down some shots they may have a chance to pull an upset. I like the OSU defense to make Creighton uncomfortable just enough to cover this number.
Pick: Oklahoma State +8 (-112) [via DraftKings]
