3* Lipscomb +14.5 (-110)
Lipscomb isn't being given enough credit here. The Bison is tough. Lipscomb has mde good progress under coach Casey Alexander. The team went 20-13 last season, finishing second in the Atlantic Sun and have nine of its top 10 returning scorers back. Rob Marberry and Garrison Mathews are excellent players for Lipscomb. Mathews is averaging 31 points in two games this season. The team ranked ninth nationally in scoring last season and has improved its defense. Alabama is nicked up and faces the distraction of playing in its first home game of the season. This is going to be a far closer game than the oddsmaker envisioned with this spread.
2* Purdue -5 (-105)
Purdue is far more experienced than Marquette with six of its top seven scorers back. I believe Purdue will have a stronger focus, too, for this matchup. The Boilermakers also have a height advantage.
The Golden Eagles have just one senior, Andrew Rowsey, and Marquette coach Steve Wojciechowski is searching for the right rotation.
Following this game, the Golden Eagles head off to Hawaii to compete in the Maui Invitation so focus may be an issue, too, especially for such an inexperienced squad with nine players in either their first or second season.
Purdue has a strong track record in non-conference games covering 23 of the last 32 times.
Nebraska Omaha/ New Mexico
2* OVER 161.5 (-110)
New Mexico opened its season with a 147-76 win against Northern New Mexico. OK, Northern New Mexico isn't exactly Duke. But 147 points is 147 points. The Lobos are a run and press team playing very up-tempo under new coach, Paul Weir. Weir prefers this style in order to offset his team's lack of size.
Nebraska Omaho certainly will run with the Lobos. They've always been a high tempo team. Nebraska Omaho opened with a 108-89 road loss to Oklahoma. This is a high total, but it's still not high enough. So expect an Over

Coyotes/Jets
2* OVER 5.5 (-103)
Arizona has allowed the most goals in the NHL. The Jets rank in the top 10 in scoring and average 3.7 goals per game at home. The Over has cashed in Winnipeg's last five home contests.
The Coyotes have scored three or more goals in half of their last eight road games. The Over has cashed in seven of the Coyotes' 11 road games this season.
Neb. Omaha/N. Mex. total listed as 178 not 161????

BOSTON CELTICS in their Atlantic Division clash against the Brooklyn Nets. As of 5:45 a.m. pacific, the line I am seeing on the game is Boston -3. It is a very limited line across the board, so I will update when I see a consensus.
