3 Unit Play. Take #511 Over 183 Miami at Utah (9:05 p.m., Saturday, January 9)
This total is dropping as I type and when I woke up this total was 185. Miami played last night in Phoenix were they beat the Suns 103-95 and the Heat offense has been clicking as of late. Utah comes home after a horrendous two game road trip were the Rockets scored 103 points and the Spurs 123 points. I knew this total would be short by I'm a bit shocked at 183 and I see both teams scoring in the mid to high 190's tonight in Utah.

Saturday's College Basketball Plays

3-Unit Play. #532 Take Air Force (-2) over Nevada (2 p.m., Saturday, January 9)

Oddsmakers have shorted the home team here. Air Force have been dominant at home this year with an 8-1 record. Nevada is 1-6 in road games, including three straight blowout losses. The home team has won five of the past six meetings between these two, and Air Force keeps it up with a good win here.

3-Unit Play. #535 Take UTEP (+10.5) over UAB (2 p.m., Saturday, January 9)

I know UAB have been rolling, but I think tis UTEP team can keep up with them here. Give me the large number here, as I see the Miners hanging with the Blazers throughout this one. UTEP has ten wins on the year so far and six players scoring at least ten points per game. They'll be good value for the money as an underdog in Birmingham today.

3-Unit Play. #537 Take Ball State (+7) over Ohio (2 p.m., Saturday, January 9)

I know Ohio has been known to have a good home court advantage, but actually I think Ball State is the better team for what they have shown this season. The points will be good here. The Cardinals have the confidence from a 10-4 start, and they'll make this one close.

3-Unit Play. #690 Take Eastern Washington (-2.5) over Idaho (3 p.m., Saturday, January 9)

I'll say this much about EWU, they've earned some good frequent flyer miles so far this year. The Eagles have played 11 of their 14 games away from home this year, so their 3-0 home record probably gets losts in the shuffle. And after having finished a six-game road trip over the last month, you'd think this is as good a spot to back this team as there will be this season. Let's not forget this is a good offensive squad. They run and gun and push the pace. Back at home I think they'll respond well and get on the board in league play over Idaho.

3-Unit Play. #571 Take Toledo (-2) over Miami (OH) (4 p.m., Saturday, January 9)

Bounce back game for the Rockets here, having lost their MAC opener earlier this week. Toledo have dominated this series of late, winning the last five meetings over the last four years over Miami. Again they are the better team, and having laid an egg last time out, I see them being on their A-game and avoiding an 0-2 league start.

3-Unit Play. #582 Take William Mary (-2) over Northeastern (4 p.m., Saturday, January 9)

The Tribe have been money at home this year (7-1), and William and Mary have covered four straight games entering this home clash this afternoon. We cashed them last weekend in a similar spot, and today I think they deal Northeastern their first conference loss of the year after beginning 3-0. William Mary strong again at home in winning fashion.

6-Unit Play. #592 Take Pepperdine (+9) over Saint Mary's (4 p.m., Saturday, January 9)

I may continue to eat crow by calling this Saint Mary's team overrated, but so be it. Here I finally think we'll see the Gaels slow a bit, at least for a game. I know Saint Mary's have been blistering hot, but oddsmakers are simply buying into a false bravado of sorts. 14-1 is 14-1 no doubt, but this team's schedule ranks 241 in the country. Eight of these wins came against teams outside the RPI Top 150, all eight worse than Pepperdine. Product of a soft non-conference run. Saint Mary's have also done the majority of their damage (12 of 14 wins) at home, while the Waves are undefeated in Malibu (6-0). In fact, Pepperdine was actually predicted to finish ahead of the Gaels this year, and the 9-6 Waves still have yet to hit their stride. Each of the first two league games were at home for Pepperdine. The Waves won both but not impressively, so I believe they'll be ready for their best game yet. Saint Mary's is always a big game for Pepperdine in the WCC, and the Gaels' hot streak will only further motivate the home team to step up to knock their opponents from their current perch. I do not see a breeze-by game for the road team, and I quite frankly Saint Mary's will have a hard time winning this one outright, to be honest.

3-Unit Play. #602 Take UCLA (-5) over Arizona State (5 p.m., Saturday, January 9)

If this were a road spot after the Bruins' upset win over Arizona, then I might call for a letdown. But UCLA is coming off losses at Washington and Washington State prior to their home win against the Wildcats. And I expect Steve Alford's team to keep the foot on the gas here in Westwood. UCLA have covered the last three meetins between the Sun Devils, while the home team have won five straight in this series and eight of the past ten. Bruins cover the number with another Pac 12 victory at home.

3-Unit Play. #617 Take Hofstra (-3) over Elon (6 p.m., Saturday, January 9)

The Pride lost last time out in a road conference game, and I am backing them thinking they avoid two in a row. Hofstra are the better team for my money, and they have the best player in this game in Juan'ya Green. Five double digit double scorers lead the way for a balanced and strong offensive squad. Hofstra edge Elon in this one.

3-Unit Play. #623 Take Texas (-3) over TCU (7 p.m., Saturday, January 9)

After evening up their Big 12 record, we're getting on Texas here to continue with another leage win in Fort Worth. TCU started their conference schedule with two losses, and before that they played a bunch of unlined games vs. nobodies. I think Texas is headed in the right direction, and they take care of TCU and the modest number in this in-state match-up.

3-Unit Play. #647 Take Louisiana-Lafayette (-2) over Arkansas State (8:05 p.m., Saturday, January 9)

The Cajuns are 0-7 on the road this year but still favored for a reason. We played ULL last time out against Arkansas-Little Rock but couldn't cash as an underdog. This spot as a road favorite will play out more favorably for them. Arkansas State are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 home games. ULL have gone 5-0 both SU and ATS in the last five meetings, and I don't see this one being any different.

3-Unit Play. #655 Take East Carolina (+9.5) over Temple (9 p.m., Saturday, January 9)

I'm taking the underdog here because I not only think this is too many points, but I also don't really like Temple as a big favorite. The Owls' scoring average so far have them allowing more points than scoring, and I don't see a big runaway game here. Temple have had good wins at UConn and Cincy, but again, those were both as double digit underdog spots. I don't think they'll play as well knowing they priced this high at home. Grab the points and ECU here.

3-Unit Play. Take #536 UAB (-10.5) over UTEP (2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 9)

UTEP was able to make a comeback and sneak in the back door against Middle Tennessee State this week. I think they will get blown out in the second game of this road trip. UAB won the conference last year and they have their sights set on doing it again. The Blazers are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 home games while UTEP is just 2-9 ATS on the road. UTEP has beaten UAB each of the past two seasons and I think that UAB will turn that trend around. The underdog has been the play in this series (9-1 ATS L10) but I think we are going to see a rare blowout in this rivalry.

3-Unit Play. Take #561 Vanderbilt (+3.5) over South Carolina (3 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 9)

I am going to call for the upset here. South Carolina is one of the last unbeaten teams in college basketball. But I think that the pressure is going to start to get to them and they will choke here today. Vanderbilt is a team that started the season in the Top 20. They had a key injury to their big man and have been struggling. But this is still a very talented and undervalued team right now. The Commodores are 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games overall and they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. This line is low to bait public money. I am going to stay on the sharp side here.

3-Unit Play. Take #612 New Mexico (-6.5) over Utah State (6 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 9)

I like New Mexico in this one. They have one of the best home court advantages in the Mountain West with The Pit. The Lobos are 17-7 ATS in their last 24 games on Saturday. The Lobos have revenge for a loss at home to Utah State last year and I don't think the Aggies will beat them there two years in a row. Utah State has lost two games in a row and they are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. This team didn't look good on the road at San Jose State or BYU. This is a rebuilding year in their first season with a new coach and I look for them to struggle here.

3-Unit Play. Take #620 Davidson (-12) over George Mason (7 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 9)

I think that this game is going to be a blowout. George Mason was just blown out at home by St. Bonaventure by 19 and before that they were blown out by 24 at VCU. I think it will be more of the same here. Davidson has struggled against the number this year but they have played a really tough schedule. This team is one of the best in the A-10. Davidson is 10-3 ATS in its last 13 league games and they beat the Patriots by 21 points at home last year against a similar spread. I see the same game playing out here. Lay the points.

6-Unit Play. Marseille (-150) over Guingamp (3 p.m., Sunday, January 10) (French Ligue 1)

The French top flight gets back underway after its Christmas break, and we're backing Marseille to get back into the swing of things with a home win and all three points here. Having scored the second most league goals at home (19 from 10 matches), this is a good spot for Marseille. Guingamp have the most away losses in league play with seven (from 10 matches), so its a contrast of polar opposites in this fixture. A lot more than their current 10th place in the standings is expected from Marseille this season and every season, so I expect the break to have served this team well and for them to perform very well in front of home supporters here. 3-1 in favor of Marseille.
