2-Unit Play. Take #732 Washington State (-6.5)
over UTEP (6 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 13)
I will go with the home team in this one. UTEP is just 1-8 ATS in its last nine road games and I think that Washington State will want to bounce back after an ugly loss at Idaho this week. Washington State has lost to UTEP in each of the last two years. They will definitely remember those losses and will get one back with a win here today.
3-Unit Play. Take #718 Nebraska (-1)
over Rhode Island (2 p.m., Sunday Dec. 13)
I like Nebraksa here. The Cornhuskers have a nice home court advantage and have gone 27-13-1 ATS in their last 41 home games. Rhode Island is just 3-7 ATS in its last 10 road games and they struggle away from home. It is a long hard trip for them out to Lincoln and I do not expect the Rams to play well here. They are really missing last year’s top scorer E.C. Matthews and this is not the same team since he has gone down with an injury. Nebraksa will want to get revenge for a loss to the Rams last year. I think the home team gets the job done.
3-Unit Play. Take #729 Alabama (+7)
over Clemson (6 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 13)
I like the underdog in this game. Clemson is not as strong as last year’s team. I had this number closer to 4.0 and even then I like the Crimson Tide. New coach Avery Johnson has turned this team around after an early season blowout loss at Dayton. The Crimson Tide have nice wins over Notre Dame and Wichita State. They have played well against a tough schedule and should have no problem staying within this number. Clemson is just 1-6 ATS against teams with a winning record and this should be a close game.
