St. Bonaventure +11.5 -120

u131.5 St. Bonaventure-Duquense -120

Not sure what they are thinking with these lines as the games between these two tend to be 4-8 point victories in low scoring contests that barely reach the teens. I would not be surprised if they won outright.

St. Louis +21.5 -120
o118.5 St. Louis-Fordham -120

LSU +15.5 -120

Kennesaw State +9.5 -120
u133 Jacksonville-Kennesaw State -120

Northern Kentucky +1.5 -120 (Wrong team favored)
o133 Northern-kentucky-USC Upstate -120

West Virginia -7.5 -120 (My ratings say this number is too low but for those who have followed me over the years, they have learned that I hate to lay points on the road in the Big 12 as it is the toughest top to bottom conference to win on the road.)
u141.5 West Virginia-Kansas -120

Florida -10 -120 (The Rebels record looks impressive but it was built on shopping at Cupcake City!)

Baylor -19.5 -120 (Hate to lay it on the road but K-State does not match up well with Baylor at all. Their only chance would be if Baylor mailed it in which I doubt we would see for a conference opener.)
u147.5 Baylor-Kansas State -120 (I see a blowout in which K-State does not score nearly enough to threaten this number)

Northwestern +10.5 -120

BYU -10 -120
o147.5 Pacific-BYU -120

Northern Iowa +9.5 -120 (Would not be surprised if they win this outright)

Last night should have been huge but some last minute backdoor action screwed up things. On to tonight:

Atlantic Sun GOTY:

Florida Gulf Coast -3 -120

I have had this game in mind since last season as I hoped a line would be available when they would meet again. This is a huge revenge spot for the Eagles as Stetson beat them in the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament Finals which not only ended a 41 game conference winning streak, it also left them out of the NCAA Tournament despite an impressive 27-7 record. For the record it was complete BS too as they had impressive wins against the ACC & SEC (Virginia & LSU).

Historically the Eagles have owned this series winning 11 of the 14 meetings since 2007-2008 with just about all of them being by double digits. This should be a 10+ win in what is not only the better team but more prepared considering the grueling out of conference schedule they have played compared to Stetson's.

Thanks Kevin & the same to you!

o139 Miami Florida-Wake Forest -120

Cal State Bakersfield -4 -120

San Francisco +9 -120 (Personally feel the wrong team is favored here. This should be a high scoring affair & we catch a Pepperdine team off a double OT win just 2 nights earlier.)
o145 San Francisco-Pepperdine -120

Santa Clara +7 -120 (This line is too high as they are just about even on my ratings. My only concern is they played a double OT game 2 nights earlier.)
u146 Santa Clara-Loyola Marymount -120 (Not sure where this line comes from as these two barely get to 125 combined in the last number of meetings. This could easily be off by 15+ points.)

Portland State -5.5 -120

Depaul -5.5 -120
o136.5 Depaul-Creighton -120

Jacksonville State +5.5 -120 (Wrong team favored even though Tennessee State has won 4 of the last 5 meetings.)

La Salle +3 -120

VCU +8.5 -120
o150 VCU-Duquesne -120

West Virginia +6.5 -120 (Line is way too high as they are about even in my ratings.)
u134 West Virginia-Oklahoma State -120 (Line is too high in what will be a tight game that both teams might not even reach 65.)

u132 Virginia Tech-Boston College

Texas Tech +4.5 -120 (Wrong team favored in my opinion. Although a lot of the games go back in time, it still does not change that TCU is 1-39 in 40 all-time meetings. Plus I told you about how tough it is to win on the road in the Big 12 even at the lesser teams. Tech's home gym is not an easy place to play.)
o119 TCU-Texas Tech
Texas Tech +160

Oklahoma +4.5 -120 (Wrong team favored in my opinion & based on my ratings. Iowa State is one of the programs I respect most & kudos to being undefeated so far. However I have to question the OOC schedule as it has been weak. Meanwhile the Sooners have played a much more legitimate schedule & held their own in their 3 losses.)

SEC GOTM:

Tennessee -6 -120 (Georgia is a tough nose team but when push comes to shove, they never have enough horses late to hang around with Tennessee. They will keep it interesting for awhile before the Lady Vols pull away to win by 10+.)

Creighton +140

UMBC +18 -120 (I know it is tough to want to back a team that is 2-11 but this is a game I feel they have a strong chance of winning outright. Besides actually being ahead in this series overall, they have flat out dominated it by winning 10 of the last 12 dating back to 2007 regardless of records. Historically the games between these two tend to be close & when it comes to UMBC, their losses in it have only once been by a number over 18. They play a slow methodical game on offense which leads to fewer possessions for their opponents. While they do have trouble scoring, they will do enough to cover wire to wire & potentially win outright.

Conference USA GOTY:

Tulane +9.5 -120 (To say the wrong team is favored is a huge understatement. This line is off by over 15 points. So either they hung a bad line, they have no clue or something undisclosed happen & they know about it which I am doubting as it is women's hoops. Tulane owns this team in every possible way especially H2H where they are 8-1 lifetime. The Green Wave are the better team, have played a much tougher schedule & should easily win this game outright by 8+.)

Tulane +333

Illinois +13 -120
u147 Penn State-Illinois -120

North Carolina -3 -120

Kennesaw State +10 -120 (Line is way too high in what should be a 2-3 game possession either way).
u145.5 Kennesaw State-Lipscomb (Line is super inflated due to the defensive numbers of Lipscomb. However you have to take their "lack of defense" with a grain of salt as they gave up over 100+ points to 2 of the best teams in the country in Tennessee & Kentucky along with 80+ to a good Georgia team. Plus Kennesaw State is not exactly an offensive fire power so that should help.)
Kennesaw State +365

o135.5 East Tennessee State-Florida Gulf Coast -120

Liberty -14 -120

Central Michigan -2 -120
u174.5 Central Michigan-Akron -120

Florida +3 -120 (Wrong team favored... Don't let the records fool you. Like I mentioned in the Gators last game where they played Mississippi State, look deeper at the record. Arkansas looks fancy at 14-1 but they have only played one good team & they lost. The 14 wins were mostly picked up at Cupcake City. The Gators own this series overall & especially of late winning 8 out of 10 the last few years. Look for them to win by 7+.

USC +385

California +3 -120 (Wrong team favored here. Colorado has a nice record but a much softer schedule compared to California who is the only team to have the top 3 RPI teams on their schedule (Stanford, Duke & UConn). Plus I have watched the last couple of Colorado's games & not been impressed. On the flip side, California's play looks to be trending upward. I see them winning this by 6+.
California +120

UCLA -5 -120
UCLA -260

[EveryGamblersDream]

Texas San Antonio +13 -120

Ohio State +6 -120 (Indiana looks impressive sitting at 14-0 but a deeper look will show that 13 of those wins were at "Cupcake City" as their only impressive win was their last one against a ranked conference foe in Iowa. Meanwhile the Buckeyes are more battle tested having faced 4 ranked teams & being competitive in all 4 (UConn eventually pulled away but it was a competitive game). They have a strong chance at winning outright. Hopefully they throw up a ML as I will be all over it.
