1 Unit Play. Take #714 Rutgers +14 over Michigan St (7:00 PM, Tuesday, December 5, Big 10 Network)

Michigan St has gone just 2-5 ATS in their last five road games where they faced a team with a home winning % of .600 or higher and they are just 3-8 ATS in their last eleven road games when facing a team with a winning record at home overall. The Scarlet Knights, on the other hand, have been pretty good in the spot they are in here tonight as they have covered the number in five of their last seven games following an ATS loss. That loss for Rutgers was on Sunday night when they went up to Minnesota and got blown out by 22 points. Throw in the fact that Sparty is just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up win by 20 points or more and we're taking the points here with Rutgers as we expect Michigan St to get the win but just go through the motions in New Jersey on Tuesday night.

1 Unit Play. Take #717 Virginia +4 over West Virginia (7:00 PM, Tuesday, December 5, ESPN U)

Virginia has posted a perfect 6-0 ATS record in their last six games following a straight up win and they have that same perfect 6-0 ATS record in their last six non-conference games. The Mountaineers, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have failed to cover the number in nine of their last twelve games following a straight up win and they are an awful 4-10-2 ATS in their last sixteen games overall. Throw in the fact that UVA is 5-1 ATS off a straight up win by 20 points or more and we're taking the bucket or so with them here as we think they slow down the pace and get the outright win in Morgantown on Tuesday night.

2 Unit Play. Take #721 Miami (OH) +23 over Missouri (9:00 PM, Tuesday, December 5, SEC Network)

The Miami (OH) RedHawks will look for their third win in a row when they hit the road to take on the Missouri Tigers at the Mizzou Arena in Columbia, MO on Tuesday night. The RedHawks have posted a 7-3 ATS record in their last ten non-conference games and they have gone an excellent 13-6 ATS in their last nineteen games where the faced a team with a winning % of .600 or higher. As for Missouri, we haven't been all that impressed with what we have seen from them this year. They had a nice win in their opener against Iowa St but that was with top freshman Michael Porter Jr, who is now out for the season. They lost other two ?big games? this year (WVU and Utah) and they weren't impressive in wins over Emporia St (5 Points), St John's (8 points) and UFC (3 points). Throw in the fact that Miami is 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games versus a team from the SEC and we're going to take the big number with them here in a game that we have a bit closer than the odds makers do in Missouri on Tuesday night.

3 Unit Play. Take #723 Nevada +5.5 over Texas Tech (8:00 PM, Tuesday, December 5)

The Nevada Wolfpack will look to stay perfect to open their 2017/18 season with their ninth win in a row when they hit the road to take on the Texas Tech Red Raiders at the United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, TX on Tuesday night. The Wolfpack have posted a perfect 4-0 ATS record in their last four road games and they have gone an excellent 5-1 ATS in their last six road games where they faced a team with a home winning % of .600 or higher. They have also covered the number in 20 of their last 27 games following a straight up win and they are an impressive 20-6-2 ATS in their last 28 non-conference games. The Red Raiders, on the other hand, have struggled a bit in the spot they are in here tonight as they have gone just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games following a double-digit loss at home. Throw in the fact that Nevada is 37-12-2 ATS in their last 51 games overall and we're going to take the points with them here in a game that we think they have a decent chance to win outright in Lubbock on Tuesday night.

1 Unit Play. Take #727 Texas A&M -1.5 over Arizona (9:00 PM, Tuesday, December 5, ESPN 2)

Texas A&M has posted a 5-2 ATS record in their last seven non-conference games and they have gone an excellent 7-2 ATS in their last nine games where they faced a team with a winning % of .600 or higher.

Throw in the fact that Nebraska is 4-0 to the over in their last four Big 10 games while Minnesota is a lights out 20-6 to the over in their last 26 games overall going back to the middle of the 2016/17 season and that's where we'll have our play as we expect both teams to push the pace in Lincoln on Tuesday night.

2 Unit Play. Take #733 SMU +3.5 over TCU (9:00 PM, Tuesday, December 5)

The SMU Mustangs will look for their third win in a row and their fourth in their last five games when they take on the TCU Horned Frogs at the Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth, TX on Tuesday night.

Throw in the fact that Villanova is a lights out 44-20-1 ATS in their last 65 non-conference games and we're going to lay the points with them here to get the win and cover in MSG on Tuesday night.

2 Unit Play. Take #740 Syracuse -6 over Connecticut (9:30 PM, Tuesday, December 5, ESPN)

The Syracuse Orange will look to bounce back from their first loss of their season when they take on the Connecticut Huskies at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY in the Jimmy V Classic.
