Clemson didn't play well in the 1st half of the game against Ohio St. LSU gave Oklahoma a beating of the lifetime. LSU will put up points off the get go, and they will keep on going wearing down the defenses with their high octane offense. LSU wins 45-30.

CHIEFS -10

The Texans are pretty beat up on the receiver side. Stills is still playing but he is not at 100%. The Texans defense is not good, but they can put up some points The Chiefs have and explosive offense, and this game will be decided by 2 touch downs or more. Lay the chalk here.

SEAHAWKS +1

This has been a year of crazy back-and-forth games that the Seahawks usually find a way to win in the end. So why stop now? The Eagles are better positioned now than they were for Seattle’s win on Nov. 24, so expect a few more points this time. But also expect another game where Russell Wilson makes a key play or two in the final moments to pull it out.

NFL 100 DIME GOLD GOY

SEAHAWKS +3

There is some good news for Seattle on the injury front. Linebacker Mychael Kendricks just returned after missing a month. Cornerback Shaquill Griffin might be back after missing two games with a hamstring injury. Head coach Pete Carroll believes there’s a good chance Jadeveon Clowney will return in Sunday’s pivotal contest.

Clowney might have been the best player on the field when Seattle defeated San Francisco. The defensive end recorded five tackles, a sack and a forced fumble as the Seahawks put Jimmy Garoppolo under constant pressure. 

Garoppolo was sacked five times in that loss, completing just north of 50% of his attempts for a 66.2 passer rating. The Rams sacked the 49ers quarterback six times in Week 16.

Wilson tends to rise to the occasion in these kinds of games. Considering how vulnerable San Francisco’s defense has looked so vulnerable in recent weeks, it’s hard to bet against Seattle at home in a de facto division championship game.

RAVENS +2.5

The Ravens wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the postseason and have nothing at stake in this game except trying to emerge fully healthy. Pittsburgh and Tennessee are tied for the AFC's No. 2 wild-card spot with 8-7 records. The Titans play in Houston and own the tie-breaker over Pittsburgh. Ravens coach John Harbaugh said the goal is to win the game (see above video) even without several key starters.  Baltimore will end the injury-plagued Steelers' playoff hopes. Justin Tucker could have a busy day.

BILLS MONEY LINE

Quarterback Josh Allen was having success throwing the deep ball, but the Bills’ offense was not consistent in that aspect, which partly spelled their doom in that game. Allen went 13 for 26 for 208 passing yards and a touchdown. That includes a lone pass to wide receiver John Brown, who took the ball for a 53-yard touchdown. Brown has had some downs in recent games, but the Bills shouldn’t stop throwing at him, especially in the rematch with the Jets. In the Bills win over Buffalo, Brown went off for 123 receiving yards and a touchdown on seven carries and 10 targets. Running back Devin Singletary also had a good performance then, rushing for 70 yards on just four carries.

The Bills are 4-2 against the spread (ATS) in their last six games.

GEORGIA SOUTHERN -4.5

Liberty has a clear advantage when it comes to passing attacks and will definitely need to capitalize on that as GSU may try and eat up as much as clock as possible by staying grounded. Turnovers also could play a key role, an area that the Eagles (+7) enjoy a slight advantage over the Flames (+3).

In the end, the team that's able to flex its offensive muscles and makes fewer mistakes is probably going to win, and perhaps by a comfortable margin.

SEAHAWKS +1.5

The Seahawks are coming off a bye week while the Eagles got banged up in a physical match-up against the Patriots. Philadelphia will be missing Lane Johnson, a big blow to their run game. However, the Seahawks could be without Jadeveon Clowney, their only player to generate a consistent pass rush. Seattle also has to travel across the country for an early kickoff and Philly is fighting for their playoff lives. Ultimately, I don’t think the Philly weapons can threaten the defense enough to score the 4 touchdowns it will take to beat Seattle.

CHARGERS -125

Before it shifted in LA's favor, this game opened as a pick 'em with good reason. Neither the 4-4 Raiders nor the 4-5 Chargers are expected to keep up with the Chiefs in the AFC West, but both are still contenders for a wild card. Los Angeles entered the season with higher expectations, and coming off consecutive refreshing wins, Anthony Lynn's bunch is starting to look like the team many expected it to be. Quietly, the Chargers have a top-10 scoring defense. That will be the key against a good-but-not-unstoppable Raiders offense.

Prediction: Chargers 23, Raiders 17

NFL 150 DIME GOY

VIKINGS +2.5

This game is tough to pick for the same reason the opening line was late to be released: It completely depends on whether Patrick Mahomes plays. With or without their star quarterback, though, the Chiefs will have big problems against the Vikings' rushing attack. Minnesota also has the NFL's third-ranked scoring defense, and even Mahomes would be in for a tough day. Ultimately, with Kansas City not getting any pressure from its rivals in the division standings, it still has no reason to rush Mahomes back before he's ready to play.

The Jaguars, who are London's most frequent NFL visitor, are riding a two-game winning streak and playing like legitimate contenders in the division.

These are two programs that haven’t been too nice to us as of late. Utah State was embarrassed last week and in the loss to LSU early this year as well. BYU has burned us twice this year in the loss to USF, but defeating Boise State the following week. BYU has been tough to figure out this season, but they’ve struggled on the road. Utah State is 3-0 this season at home. Give me Utah State one more time this season or we are done with them.

CHARLOTTE +3.5

Both teams desperately need a win to keep their hopes of bowl eligibility alive, but I think the 49ers defense steps up and slows down the O’Hara show. The 49ers offense has rediscovered their rhythm, and MTSU’s run-defense actually ranks worse than Charlotte. Expect Benny LeMay to have another monstrous game on the way to a second straight 49ers victory. Charlotte 35, Middle Tennessee 30

49ERS -8.5

This is a mismatch in pretty much every area. The only element of this matchup that works in the Cardinals' favor is their quick-release passing game potentially neutralizing the 49ers' pass rush, but as Nick Bosa proved last week, even little passed out of the backfield can't be considered safe against this defense. On the other side of the ball, Arizona can't stop San Francisco's balanced attack. The NFC's only undefeated team will roll on a short week.

BULLS -1

With the Knicks undergoing a full rebuild, expectations are very low in the Big Apple. The team has played as expected but they have also been competitive in two of their first three games. Even though the Knicks have won the last two games in this rivalry, the Bulls have the advantage in this game because they have played well against the spread on the road and also have a favorable matchup against the Knicks. The battle between the frontcourt of the two teams should even out with R.J. Barrett and Julius Randle going up against Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter Jr. However, the Bulls are better on the perimeter with Zach LaVine and Coby White going up against Elfrid Payton and Allonzo Trier, which will help the Bulls get the win.

The Chiefs are the underdog at home. Moore is picking up the slack, and has plenty of weapons on the offense. This is a lot of points for a team that has the best receivers. Rodgers is banged up and is missing Devonta Adams.  Take the Chiefs here for the backdoor cover.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL 100 DIME GAME

DUKE +3.5

North Carolina has a nice group of weapons for the passing game, and Sam Howell continues to be be terrific – throwing for over 320 yards in three of his last four games, and getting better each week – but the O line is having a few issues.

The Tar Heel running game has been good enough to compliment Howell, but it’s not going to take over. There’s been a big problem keeping defenses out of the backfield, though, and Howell is taking several shots.

On the other side, the Blue Devil O line is doing a fantastic job. It’s giving everyone time to work, the running game is good enough to overcome a rough run lately by QB Quentin Harris – he’s a whole lot better than he’s been showing.

The Duke pass rush is good enough, and it’s had its moments at getting behind the line to make big plays on a regular basis. But more than anything else, the Blue Devils are more than fine when they don’t have problems with …

The Thundering Herd are playing well but they have struggled against the spread, especially at home. Even though they have a good offense that is averaging 27.4 points per game, they will have a hard time hitting their season average against the Hilltoppers, who are holding opponents to 17.9 points per game. The Thundering Herd have also struggled defensively and are giving up 26.6 points per game, which means the Hilltoppers, who have the 73rd best passing offense in the country, will be able to keep the score close against a Marshall team that has struggled against the pass and is giving up 248.8 passing yards per game. With the Hilltoppers playing well defensively over their last three games, holding opponents to 8.33 points per game, expect them to cover the spread in this game.

Milwaukee kept swingman Khris Middleton with a five-year, $178 million contract and returns four of the five starters from last season with point guard Eric Bledsoe and center Brook Lopez also sticking around. "We brought back a big part of the group; we believe in continuity," Bucks general manager Jon Horst told reporters. "... This group looks like they're growing, looks like they're getting better, looks like they fit, and they make sense and that we can compete and sustain success for a long period of time with this group and that's been the goal." Milwaukee's new pieces include Lopez's brother, Robin, and veteran guards Kyle Korver and Wesley Matthews, who give the team a pair of perimeter shooting threats.

EAGLES +3

Amari Cooper, Randall Cobb, Tyron Smith, La’el Collins on the field make a huge difference in terms of what Dak Prescott can or cannot do in the passing game. The Eagles’ defense has been consistent in one area the run game. But facing Ezekiel Elliott is another story. He has been the Birds’ kryptonite. In his last two outings against the Eagles, Elliott has run for over 100 yards and has tallied a minimum of 189 yards of total offense. If the Birds can control Zeke, it enhances their chances of winning. Also, Jim Schwartz’s defense has to make Prescott feel as uncomfortable as possible. He has a tendency of holding on to the ball to long at times. You take away the 10 sacks the Eagles had against the Jets and they’ve had only four sacks in their five other games. Not good enough!!!!

The Cowboys’ front seven will be coming after Carson Wentz, so the Eagles’ short passing game will need to be on point. The question is, which of their pass catchers will step up and provide consistent help? I’m hoping the Birds can go down to Dallas and put together a game like they did in Green Bay. On a hunch, I’m leaning toward the Eagles.

With the team being significantly different due to trades and injury, the Rams defense will have their hands full against Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, and company.

The Giants will snap their two-game losing streak against Kyler Murray and the Cardinals on Sunday. It will be a close one as the first two quarterbacks in the draft face off against each other, but the advantage goes to Daniel Jones at home with Saquon Barkley and Evan Engram back in the lineup.

Despite an impressive performance from Murray last week, his offense has allowed the sixth most sacks in the league (21) and Big Blue’s pass rush has recorded at least three sacks in five straight games. Their secondary also showed major improvement against Tom Brady last week, so expect them to keep their team in the game. If the offense does their part by putting the ball in the end zone, the Giants will pickup their third victory of the season.

For Marshall to pull the upset on the road, it will need to pressure Chris Robison and win the turnover battle, which has been a key component of Florida Atlantic’s recent success.

When all is said and done, Marshall will have a tough time scoring enough points to beat the Owls.

SAINTS +3

The Saints actually enter this game as underdogs, which is a bit perplexing, considering how good they’ve looked on defense over the past two weeks. Bridgewater is coming off his best game as a starter in a long time and the Saints’ offense actually looked to push the ball downfield last week versus the Bucs. Jacksonville was gashed in the run game last week, so look for Saints’ star running back Alvin Kamara to steal some of the spotlight in this one. Kamara hasn’t topped 69 rushing yards in any of the last four games -- something I expect to change in this one. Look for him to have a big day as the Saints cruise to another victory without Brees on Sunday in Jacksonville.

This one is going to be a challenge for Air Force, who is reeling after their last-minute loss to Navy. The defeat washed away the good feelings of their fourth-quarter comeback to take the lead and now they have to face a rested Fresno State team. The Bulldogs have won two straight contests and they have been tough against the run. Fresno State has held the opposition to 109.5 yards per game on the ground and only 3.4 yards per carry this season. That is going to be an uphill climb for the Falcons, who aren’t equipped for an aerial assault. Give the Bulldogs the advantage in this contest.

VIRGINIA +2.5

Both Virginia and Miami are defensive-minded teams with defensive-minded head coaches. The Cavaliers are more of a physical team that loves to grind it out, while the Hurricanes love to show their speed and athleticism to score points and slow offenses down.

Miami head coach Manny Diaz should be encouraged by the way his team performed in the second half against Virginia Tech. Down 28-0, his team could have easily quit, but his players were persistent and got back into it before losing the game late in regulation.

Shanahan will devise some efficient plays for his offense against Cleveland, but I don’t know how sustainable it will be. I think Cleveland will take a similar approach to last week in which they load the box to stop the run and force Garoppolo to beat him. Also, remember that the Arizona Cardinals were 3-13 last year (the team that Steve Wilks was the head coach of). Two of those wins were a sweep against the 49ers, showing that Wilks wasn’t phased by what Shanahan threw at him.

This team, for the first time in my lifetime, are significant contenders to finish the season with the worst record in football and that isn't hyperbole. Nothing stops this week. Denver travels to L.A. to play in a stadium that typically doubles for a home game without Bradley Chubb, who is now shelved for the season.

Ohio has been a major disappointment so far, but the offensive line is still among the league’s best, the skill parts are okay, and the main issue has been mistakes – turnovers are killing the team.

Buffalo isn’t getting much out of its defense, but its bigger concern this week is at quarterback. Matt Myers is the man man, but he’s been missing practices banged up. Kyle Vantrease isn’t a bad option, but Myers brings more of a rushing element.

Can it be as simple as the home field advantage? UB is 2-0 in Amherst and 0-3 away from home. The offense has worked so far at home, and on the road the mistakes start to come and the attack fizzles.

This year’s rendition of Wade Phillips’ defense has proven to be pretty stout through two games. The defense has created four turnovers in these wins (2 INTS, 2 fumbles recover). Assuming the trend continues, this’ll be a boon. I don’t see Aqib, Marcus, Johnson, Weddle & Co. having a hard time keeping Odell & ‘em in check (think the NO game).The question now is can the offense do its defense justice (funny considering the last two years)? Jared Goff’s gotta be more efficient, have better timing on his throws. There’s been plenty passes thrown to the open turf in these last two outings to last good while. A cleaner passing game will ease things for TG & committee (depending on Malc Brown’s status).

WASHINGTON -18.5

If you haven’t been following college football this season, this line may look funny. Let me tell you now that it’s probably a little bit low; the UCLA Bruins are a bad, bad football team. They haven’t scored more than 14 points in any game and in my opinion, it’s because Chip Kelly’s offense is now the status quo. It used to be revolutionary but these days it’s like everyone else. It’s going to stay that way against Washington State because Mike Leach has one of his best defensive units since coming to Pullman. They’re allowing just 16 points per game this season and a poultry 346 yards per game. UCLA, who’s averaging less than 300 yards themselves on offense, will be no match for Leach’s high-powered offense.

Detroit will have a much tougher time this week both moving the football on offense and getting stops on defense. The Lions haven’t done well as home underdogs in the past. The Lions defense is soft, and the Chargers have to many weapons that will play a major factor in this game.

The San Francisco 49ers may be one-point underdogs, but they have a strong chance of going on the road and beating the Cincinnati Bengals.

San Francisco went on the road in Week 1 and notched a 31-17 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And it was a strong showing for the 49ers defense, as Richard Sherman and Ahkello Witherspoon each had interception return touchdowns.

Northern Illinois can’t keep up if the Husker offense is on. The O has a huge problem on third downs, and the line hasn’t been able to generate enough of a push or keep lines – particularly Utah’s – out of the backfield.

On the other side, without Sutton Smith and some of the other key parts on last year’s defensive front, the Huskies don’t have the pass rush that was so dominant last season. Martinez will have time to work.

The Boilermaker running game has been all but ignored with the passing attack so strong, but that goes into the teeth of the TCU defense – the secondary is a killer.

It’s a rested Horned Frog team with just enough offensive weapons to bother a Purdue defense that’s getting lit up like a Christmas tree. The two quarterback system of Max Duggan and Alex Delton provide different looks.

This might be a dangerous Boilermaker team, but it’s prone to mistakes with six turnovers so far and 14 penalties. TCU isn’t going to beat itself.

The Patriots were gashed in the passing game last season and Roethlisberger was one of the best passing QBs in the league. He threw for a ton of yards as the Steelers trailed only the Buccaneers for passing yards last season. Oddly enough, his lowest passing total of the season (218 yards) came against the Patriots in a 17-10 victory late in the year. New England had success in the postseason as they kept the Chargers, Chiefs and Rams around the 50 percent mark but the Steelers have too many options to work with for the Patriots to keep up with. Pittsburgh gets the edge in this one.

NFL 100 DIME GOLD GAME

BILLS +3

Both defenses are going to be tough to score on but I think the Bills offense has enough new weapons to exploit some missing pieces in at the second level of the Jets defense. If you go an watch some of Darnold’s preseason reps you’ll notice some happy feet as he’s obviously dealing with some issues in front of him on the line. It’s partly his style but if this Bills defensive line can generate the pressure they’ve been talking about all summer then they’ll likely force some turnovers. When Allen gets a short field he usually takes advantage. I also think the Jets’ strategy of making Allen beat them from the pocket could come back and bite them. The strategy is to get the ball out fast and it was executed well against the Carolina Panthers, who employ a 3-4 defense just like the Jets. If Williams is planning on covering Beasley with a linebacker that could be a matchup to exploit all game long.

USC quarterback Kedon Slovis vs. Stanford's defensive front. Slovis, a freshman from Scottsdale, Arizona, will make his first career start after sophomore J.T. Daniels sustained a season-ending knee injury against Fresno State. Slovis has plenty of talent, including the strong arm he showed off on a 41-yard completion to Tyler Vaughns to set up a touchdown in the 31-23 win over the Bulldogs, but his lack of experience will be challenged by the perennially stout Cardinal. Stanford had four takeaways and three sacks in a 17-7 win against Northwestern.

Raptors are better offensively, scoring 114.4 ppg to Magic’s 107.3, while Magic are better defensively, allowing 106.6 ppg to Raptors’ 108.4. Raptors have better percentages both in field goals (47.4% to 45.4%) and in 3-pointers (36.6% to 35.6%). Both teams are almost equal in boards grabbed (45.4 to 45.2) and in dimes made (25.5 to 25.4), while Magic are better in turnovers committed (12.6 to 13.3). 

MLB 75 DIME GAME

Red Sox -1.5

The Dodgers sputtered, dropping the first three games of their set in St. Louis and was in a slugfest on Thursday afternoon. Milwaukee has dropped four of five and was swept by an Angels team that was without Mike Trout Wednesday night. The Brewers have had problems of late and Burnes has allowed three homers in each of his first two starts. Facing a Los Angeles team that has the ability to hammer the ball all over the place seems like a bad matchup for the Brewers. Give the Dodgers the upper hand in this contest.

MLB 75 DIME GAME

YANKEES -1.5

While both teams are in the throes of a slump, there is more confidence in the Yankees ending their struggles compared to the White Sox, who seem to be struggling both offensively and defensively. Good starting pitching is contagious, but so is bad pitching, evidenced by Chicago’s run of misery during this losing streak.

Even without Stanton, Hicks, and Miguel Andujar, the Yankees have enough pop to take the opener in this series.

DUKE -7

The Blue Devils were able to advance to the Sweet Sixteen, but they did show some vulnerabilities, particularly Tre Jones’ struggles shooting the ball. He went 5-of-15 from the floor and 1-of-8 from 3-pointer on a night where the Knights basically dared him to shoot.

The Hokies could essentially attempt to employ the same strategy of putting a guard on Williamson and leaving Jones out on an island. However, one has to think Duke will be better prepared for that defensive wrinkle this time around. UCF’s game plan was unique and seemingly caught the Blue Devils off guard. Not to mention they also had the presence of 7-foot-6 center Tacko Fall to challenge Williamson at the rim.

Virginia Tech is a tremendous defensive team, but their personnel won’t be able to match up with Duke’s offense like UCF did. The combination of Williamson and Barrett will give them fits the same way they have every other team they’ve faced this season.

Williamson wasn’t on the floor the last time these two teams met in the regular season. The Hokies are about to learn how much of a difference one man can make. I’m taking the Blue Devils in this game.

North Carolina -5

I am taking North Carolina in this matchup. North Carolina’s rebounding will play a big factor in this game. The Tar Heels lead the country with an average of 44.1 rebounds per game. Auburn is not a strong rebounding team. They were out-rebounded 39-24 against NMSU, and 38-27 by Kansas in their latest game. 

Furthermore, the Tar Heels offense should be able to have their way offensively. UNC is shooting a solid 36.5% from three-point range, and the Tigers three-point defense stands down at 223rd in the country. Lastly, the Tar Heels have limited their two opponents to a field goal percentage below 41% in both of their tournament wins.

CREIGHTON +4

The Bluejays put up an average of 78.5 points per game so far this season. Creighton grabs 34.2 boards a night while dishing out 16 assists per contest. The Bluejays are below average on the defensive end of the floor as the team ranks 228th in scoring defense by allowing 73.2 points a game. Ty-Shon Alexander leads the team with 15.9 points plus 2.7 assists a night. Marcus Zegarowski (10.6 points, 3.4 assists) and Mitch Ballock (11 points) also average in double figures. Damien Jefferson, Martin Krampelj (13.7 points, 6.9 rebounds), Jacob Epperson, Samson Froling, Kaleb Joseph and Connor Cashaw all average double-digit minutes for Creighton. The Bluejays are shooting a solid 48.3 percent from the floor on the year.

IOWA ST -5.5

I am taking Iowa State in this contest. Iowa State has all the momentum in this matchup. They won the Big 12 Tournament with three outstanding wins against opponents that all own a better record than Ohio State which included wins against 15th ranked Kansas State and 17th ranked Kansas. The Cyclones are playing stellar defense, allowing an average of only 63.7 points in their last three games.

Furthermore, Ohio State is having a very inconsistent season, and they stand at 3-7 in their last 10 games overall. They do not have the offensive firepower to solve the Cyclones defense. The Buckeyes have scored 67 or fewer points in seven out of their last ten games overall.

UCF -109

The Rams have played well against the spread, winning four of their last five games against teams with winning records and 15 of their last 19 NCAA tournament games. The Knights have struggled against the spread, losing five of their last seven games following an ATS loss.

NORTH CAROLINA -23.5

As boasting the three No. 1 seeds indicates, the ACC is simply a dominant conference. Going 16-2 in said conference–with a regular-season sweep of Duke–is not small feat. North Carolina will be eager to put a hurt on someone following its loss to Duke and it will also be wary of Virginia’s No. 1 vs. No. 16 loss to UMBC in last last year’s tournament. Iona is 1-13 all-time at the NCAA Tournament, with its lone win coming in 1980. This should be absolute beatdown city. Iona is 2-6 ATS in its last eight at neutral sites, 0-6 ATS in its last six NCAA Tournament games, and 0-7 ATS in its last seven against opponents with winning percentages over .600. North Carolina is 4-0 ATS in its last four overall and 10-3 ATS in its last 13 against winning opponents.

GEORGIA ST +12

Georgia State is positioned at 111th in the country in Ken Pomeroy’s college basketball rankings. They went 4-1 on neutral site courts this season, and they notched upset wins against Georgia and Alabama this season. The Panthers are averaging 77.1 points on the season, ranking them 67th overall. Georgia State is allowing an average of 72.9 points, positioning them 218th in the country.

The Cougars are currently ranked at 15th in the country in Ken Pomeroy’s college basketball rankings, and they went 3-0 on neutral site territory this season. Houston is averaging 75.6 points on the season, ranking them 99th overall. The Cougars are one of the best defensive teams in the country, and they are holding opponents to 61.8 points, good for eighth overall.

The points is the play here.

OLE MISS -1.5

The Rebels have played well against the spread, winning 13 of their last 16 non-conference games and 24 of their last 33 games. The Sooners have struggled against the spread, losing nine of their last 12 NCAA tournament games and nine of their last 13 neutral site games.

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME

SYRACUSE -1.5

Howard’s absence drops the confidence in the Orange severely because of how it impacts Battle’s responsibilities offensively. He is going to wind up handling the ball more regardless of who replaces Howard in the starting lineup, and that is a concern because of how it affects how he gets others involved in the offense for Syracuse.

The spread is small enough where the Orange can still cover and perhaps even comfortably because of their defense — but on the surface, it does look like they will need time for players to figure out their roles without Howard running the point.

NBA 100 DIME GAME

RAPTORS +4.5

The Raptors are still fighting for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, but playoff positioning isn’t worth risking the long-term health of a player like Lowry. While he isn’t likely to miss much time on the floor, it would make sense for the Raptors to rest him in this game and see how his ankle responds to treatment later in the week.

His absence will put the Raptors in a bind on the road against a Thunder team that is trying to keep from slipping all the way to the bottom of the Western Conference playoff rankings. The return of Westbrook will be a huge lift for the struggling Thunder, and I expect him to respond emphatically after being suspended and turning in a seven-point scoring performance against the Warriors.

MICHIGAN +1.5

John Beilein has been waiting for this game for a week. His team has lost two straight to Michigan State but before that had won three straight. He will figure out a way to get his tempo and keep Goins and Ward off the boards. Simpson will play better against Winston and the team that had an easy game against Minnesota, will have the edge in this one against Sparty.

HARVARD +4.5

This one is going to be an entertaining contest between a pair of bitter rivals with the prize being a bid in March Madness. Harvard has won four straight meetings and they have been better with the return of Aiken after he missed the first 13 games of the year. The Bulldogs are playing on their home floor in this contest but they’re going to be facing a veteran team in the Crimson. Tommy Amaker has his team ready to go and Aiken is the big factor here. Look for Harvard to claw their way to a victory here: take the points in this one.

FLORIDA ST +8

FSU shot 56.5 percent against Virginia–the top-ranked scoring defense and third-ranked field-goal percentage defense in Division I. This has always been a decent matchup for the ‘Noles and this season appears to be no different. They have the bodies to bang with Williamson and company, plus the Devils are not deep and they were thoroughly exhausted at the end of their semifinal thriller. Duke is 0-3-1 ATS in its last four against the ACC, 1-3-1 ATS in their last five at neutral sites, and 0-7 ATS in its last seven following a win. The Seminoles are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings between the two teams.

The Sun Devils and Ducks have both played well against the spread, but the Ducks have the edge because they undefeated against the spread in their last six games and they have won four of their last five meetings against the Sun Devils.

IOWA +8

It’s hard not to like Michigan. They are well-coached but Iowa has something special in tournaments. They are 9-0 ATS their last 9 in neutral site games. Michigan’s lack of dynamic offense and Iowa’s strong three-point shooting led by Baer and Wieskamp gives them a shot to win this game outright. Revenge or no revenge, they are going to win this game.

WEST VIRGINIA +10.5

West Virginia pulled off a fantastic upset. This is a night for Mountaineer nation to celebrate, but they will have a challenge against Kansas. Kansas is not the same team like they use to be. Kansas beat W. Virginia by 14 points at home, but this game is in neutral court. W. Virginia took out Texas Tech and Oklahoma in this last 2 games, putting up 79 points against Oklahoma. Kansas took a beating from Oklahoma and Texas Tech. Take the points here.

MINN +10

Purdue is a legit No. 3 and a loss here won’t matter. They should be rusty after having not played in nearly a week. The Gophers have the size to hang with the Boilermakers thanks to Murphy. The Coffey/Edwards matchup should be fantastic but will cancel each other out. The Golden Gophers have more motivation and that will get them through against a team they match up well against.
