2-Unit Play. Take #538St. Joseph's (-11) over Fordham (1 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 16)
Fordham has been exposed.We've cashed against them in their last two games and there's no reason not tokeep going to the well against this shell-shocked group. The Rams picked up alot of cheap wins against terrible competition (mostly playing at home) butthis has been one of the worst programs in the country for awhile now and theyaren't anywhere near St. Joe's level.
1-Unit Play. Take #540South Carolina (-14.5) over Missouri (1 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 16)
Missouri caught a lot ofbad news this week when sanctions were laid down on the program. I think theyfound out before it was reported and that led to them getting blown out at homeby Arkansas. It isn't going to be any easier here today at South Carolina. TheGamecocks are coming off a loss and they aren't happy at all. Add in the travelfor the Tigers and this one could get ugly.
1-Unit Play. Take #544Delaware (+7.5) over Northeastern (2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 16)xxxxxxxxxx
Northeastern beatDelaware by about 50 in the first meeting. Now the Huskies are on the roadafter a tough home loss to James Madison and this one comes right before a biggame with Hofstra. Northeastern has had a really tough schedule and they couldget caught sleeping here.
3-Unit Play. Take #547Miami (-4.5) over Clemson (2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 16)
Yeah, I'm not buyingClemson. I get that they've covered five straight and are coming off four upsetwins in a row, including one against Duke. But these guys aren't that good. Ithink Miami is. They ran out of steam at Virginia on Tuesday, but this is aproven team that has a lot of really impressive performances already this year.They are bigger, more experienced, more motivated, and have played betteragainst a better schedule. Maybe Clemson can scum out another win or cover. ButI don't think so. I think Miami has a lot more talent and more scoring optionsand that will make the difference in what should be a tightly played,defense-first game.
2-Unit Play. Take #551Texas A&M (-2) over Georgia (2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 16)
Georgia is a lot betterthan people realize. That's what happens when you have excellent veteran guardplay. But A&M has excellent veteran guard play as well. And they are muchbetter on the interior than the Bulldogs. Georgia hasn't played anyone. Their winshave come against bad/mediocre competition, both in the nonconference and inleague play. A&M is a legit Top 20 team and they already have road wins atMiss State and Tennessee in games they controlled, as well as an impressivearray of home and neutral site wins. A&M has too much size and can matchGeorgia's experience. The better team wins here.
4-Unit Play. Take #560Kansas (-21.5) over TCU (2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 16)
Kansas got embarrassedthis week by West Virginia. They didn't lose: they got embarrassed. The onlyappropriate response is to go out and beat the ever-loving shit out of TCU. TheHorned Frogs suck. They just lost by 32 at Baylor. They lost by 21 at OklahomaState, and Oklahoma State is terrible. They also lost by 25 at Washington, so sufficeto say they don't play well on the road. TCU's claim to fame is some closegames with in-state rivals SMU and Texas (both at home). But they haven'tbeaten anyone and they could again be without their most efficient offensiveplayer, Malique Trent. TCU played Kansas really tough three times last year sothe Jayhawks will be wary. But TCU lost three starters and four of their bestsix players from that team and they are a shell. Kansas is going to light themup here.
2-Unit Play. Take #562UNC-Wilmington (-5) over William & Mary (2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 16)

2-Unit Play. Take #639UC-Irvine (Pk) over UC-Santa Barabara (7 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 16)
7-Unit Play. Take #642Fresno State (-15) over San Jose State (7 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 16)
I think that Fresno Statecould end up being the best team in the Mountain West this year. This is anadmittedly down season for the MWC. But this Fresno team is legit, and I thinkthat they are going to lay into a feeble San Jose State team today. FresnoState lost to Boise State its last time out and they have had to stew aboutthat loss for a full week. They will take to take some frustration out, similarto their 22-point win over Nevada at home after they were blasted by New Mexicoa few days before. Or like they did in a 19-point win over Pacific after atough loss at Arizona. Fresno beat San Jose by 18 last year and I think itcould be even worse now, since this is a much better and more cohesive FresnoState bunch. San Jose State is coming off a really rare win over a Div. I team,beating Wyoming at home its last time out. They will be fat and happy aftersnapping their four-game losing streak. But this is still one of the worstteams - and one of the worst programs - in the nation. SJSU has lost 20 of 21road games and they are in the bottom quarter of the country in both offensiveand defensive efficiency. This is a really young team and they don't defend theperimeter well at all. That's a problem against a Fresno team that has threesavvy guards. These guys lost by 15 at Toledo and by 18 at Marquette, and Idon't know that either of those teams is as good as Fresno. Add in themotivation of bouncing back from an ugly loss, and the fact that the majorityof the public betting is actually on the underdog, and I think that this onesets up for a blowout for the home team.
