2 Unit Play. Take #735 UAB -3.5 over Western Kentucky (7:30p.m., Thursday January 28 FOX 1)
Thought this number was a bit short as UAB is 17-3 this season and perfect in Conference play. Hilltoppers have dropped 5 out of 7 games and if they can't slow down the offense of the Blazers, UAB wins easy and covers easy. UAB is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and the Hilltoppers are 2-5 ATS against conference opponents.


5 Unit Play. Take #773 Over 160 Washington St at USC (10:30p.m., Thursday January 28 PAC12)
The USC Trojans offense has been nothing but explosive this season and tonight at the Galen Center in LA, California we should see another big offensive game from the Trojans. These two teams played each other New Years Day in Washington and USC won 90-77 and tonight at home the Trojans will rack up another big number. USC is averaging 83.6ppg this season and the Trojans are averaging 87.4ppg at home. Washington St is 6-1 O/U against conference opponents and the Cougars 4-1 O/U following a SU loss. USC is 4-0 O/U in their last 4 conference games and tonight the USC Trojans win by double-digits and score at will.

7-Unit Play. Take #735 UAB (-3.5) over Western Kentucky (7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 28)


There is a lot of good value with this play here. I will go with the Blazers. They are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games and this is one of the hottest teams in the country. They haven't lost since before Christmas and the Blazers are unbeaten in league play. They have wins at Charlotte and Old Dominion and I think they can go on the road and get another win here against WKU. Western Kentucky has only won twice since the start of the New Year. They are 2-5 SU and ATS in their last seven games. I do not think that this team is going to have a great home court advantage here and I do not think they are good enough to pull the upset. WKU is really having some problems on the defensive end of the court. They are giving up nearly 80 points per game in their last five games and UAB is one of the top offenses in Conference USA. This is a very experienced Blazers team and I think that they will get the job done here tonight. UAB is 20-8 ATS in their last 28 league games and 4-1 ATS in their last five road games.


2-Unit Play. Take #759 Richmond (+6.5) over George Washington (7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 28)


I think this will be a very good game in the A-10. These are two quality teams. George Washington has slowed down at the window after their hot start to the season. They are just 3-6 ATS in their last nine games and just 3-2 SU in their last five. Richmond is coming off back-to-back losses. But I don't think they are going to lose three in a row for a second time in a month. The Spiders have played very well in this series, going 3-1 ATS in the last four meetings, and the underdog has been great at 9-3 ATS in this series overall. The public is on GW but the Colonels are just 8-18 ATS in their last 26 league games. Play Richmond.


2-Unit Play. Take #761 Michigan State (-6.5) over Northwestern (8 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 28)


I'm laying the points with Sparty here. They got a huge win over the weekend over Maryland. I think that is going to carry over into this game. Michigan State knows it has a lot of work to do if they want to win the Big Ten. That means not slipping on the road. The road team is 20-8 ATS in the last 28 meetings in this series and Michigan State has dominated. Last year they won by 24 points here. I think they can get another blowout like they have done the last three years. Northwestern just lost by 32 points at Indiana! I think their confidence is shaken. I'm going with the mean green from Lansing tonight. Lay the points.

Thursday's College Basketball Plays


3-Unit Play. #721 Take Charlotte (+3) over FlU (7 p.m., Thursday, January 28)


This young 49ers team have been an absolute cash cow this year. Charlotte have covered ten straight games, including six games as the underdog. A cover here as the dog comes with an outright win at FIU. Charlotte have scored 80 or more in four of their last six games. Three of those were losses and by a total of only six points. The 49ers keep up their strong mark ATS and cash a win in the standings as well here.


3-Unit Play. #723 Take Towson (-3) over Drexel (7 p.m., Thursday, January 28)


Big mismatch here in the CAA. Towson won the first meeting this year by 19 less than two weeks ago. Nothing has changed for this one to go any differently. The Tigers have more road wins (5) than Drexel even does at home (2), and really this is just a case of two league teams going in completely opposite directions this season. Towson racks up another win for their cause, covering the small number in the process.


3-Unit Play. #731 Take Middle Tennesee State (+1.5) over Marshall (7 p.m., Thursday, January 28)


The Blue Raiders have won six straight and are clicking right now after opening the C-USA schedule with a loss at UAB. And in my mind the better team is the one catching points. Middle Tennessee is a bit more of a seasoned program with some proven talents. I like them here with the small number to win outright.


4-Unit Play. #747 Take UTEP (-2) over Southern Miss (8 p.m., Thursday, January 28)


The Miners have underachieved this year relative to the amount of talent on this team. UTEP is also winless on the road this year, but here's a winable spot they taken advantage of tonight. Southern Miss is 5-12 and scorijng just 59 points per game this season. Four of UTEP's road losses have come to quality opponents (UAB, Washington State, New Mexico State and Middle Tennessee). Southern Miss is not even close by comparison. The Miners finally get on the board away from El Paso.


3-Unit Play. #799 Take Belmont (-8.5) over Jacksonville State (8 p.m., Thursday, January 28)


Belmont are 7-0 in Ohio Valley play, and the the Bruins have won these league games by an average of 12.5 points. I don't think Jacksonville State can keep up with the conference's best team. Belmont may be just 6-6 on the road, but five of these losses came to teams inside the RPI Top 100. Jacksonville State have an RPI on 326. Not even close, and neither is this game. Belmont by double digits.

(3% play) ARIZONA STATE -5.5 (vs. Oregon State) - 8:30 pm ET (Pac12) #754


Oregon State snapped their 3-game losing streak by beating USC as 2-point home underdogs on Sunday afternoon. The Beavers scored 85 points in that game after shooting 47.1% (32-68) from the field and 85.7% (18-21) from the free throw line. Oregon State shot terribly from the three-point line as they only hit 16.7% (3-18) from beyond the arc. The only reason Oregon State won that game was due to USC simply having one of their worst offensive games of the season. The Beavers won on the scoreboard, but they did nothing in that game to show that their recent funk is over. Now they must take to the road where they’ve lost their last two conference games by a combined 23 points. The Beavers’ offense is only averaging 63.8 points per game on 41.2% shooting from the field on the road this season. They only scored 53 and 54 points in their two conference road games.


Arizona State has lost three straight games, and six of their last seven games overall. However, the Sun Devils have played a brutal schedule during that span, including four of the seven games being on the road. Arizona State returns home off back-to-back road losses, and since they also lost their previous home game, we expect a peak performance tonight. The Sun Devils’ offense has also been terrific at home this season where they are averaging 79.8 points per game on 43.7% shooting from the field and 34.7% shooting from three-point land. Arizona State is in a good bounce back spot, so we’ll lay the points with the Sun Devils in this game on Thursday night.

(3% play) ILLINOIS -1.5 (vs. Ohio State) - 9:00 pm ET (BTN) #764


Ohio State is 13-8 SU on the season, but eleven of those wins have come on their home court. The Buckeyes are just 1-4 SU in true road games this season with their average loss coming by a whopping -23.7 points per game. Overall, Ohio State has played the #97 rated schedule this season, so the majority of their wins have come against inferior opponents. The Buckeyes did beat Illinois earlier this season, but they only won that game by 2 points (75-73). Ohio State won that game at the free throw line as they were +19 in points (28-9) and +28 in attempts (39-11). Despite that, the Buckeyes only won the game by 2 points, and they won’t get the favorable home whistle in this game tonight. Ohio State’s offense is only averaging 61.8 points per game on 39.9% shooting from the field and 31.3% shooting from three-point land on the road this season.


Illinois comes into this game off a 76-71 overtime win at Minnesota on Saturday night. Off that win, we expect a strong home performance here, especially since the Illini lost their previous home game. Illinois’ offense has played much better basketball at home where they are averaging 77.7 points per game on 45.6% shooting from the field and 37.7% shooting from three-point land this season. Ohio State’s defense is giving up 78.2 points per game on 47.2% shooting from the field and 35.5% shooting from three-point land on the road this season. We’ll back Illinois in this game on Thursday night.

(3% play) UCLA -6 (vs. Washington) - 10:00 pm ET (FS1) #772


Washington is having a much better season than projected as the Huskies come into this game with a 13-6 SU record. The Huskies are off an 80-75 home loss to Utah on Sunday night. Washington was a 4-point underdog in that game, and after rallying late to tie the game, they came up short in overtime. That was their third overtime game in their last seven games, and that loss may linger for awhile. Washington now takes to the road where their defense is giving up 93 points per game on 51.6% shooting from the field and 43.6% shooting from three-point land. Washington beat UCLA 96-93 in overtime at home earlier this season. The difference in that game came from three-point land where the Huskies were +24 points after making 11 three’s to just 3 made three’s for the Bruins. Despite that, Washington only won the game by 3 points in overtime.


UCLA is just 1-2 SU during their past three games, but they played two of those games on the road. The Bruins return home off a road loss at Oregon, and since they also lost their previous home game, we expect a strong bounce back performance here. UCLA is 9-2 SU at home where they are averaging 81.5 points per game on 47.5% shooting from the field and 38.3% shooting from three-point land this season. The Bruins’ defense has been terrific at home; they are holding opponents to just 40% shooting from the field and 33.6% shooting from three-point land. The Bruins are in an excellent bounce back spot, so we’ll lay the points with UCLA in this game on Thursday night.

4 Unit Play. Take #704 Indiana -3 over Atlanta (7:05 p.m., Thursday, January 28)
Indiana is in desperate mode for a win and tonight I see the Pacers snapping their 3-game losing streak. Both teams come into this matchup struggling and the Hawks are 12-12 on the road and tonight I see another Hawks road loss. Monta Ellis struggled on offense against the Clippers last game but tonight I see a big from the shooting guard and the rest of the Pacers will follow. Atlanta is 3-9 ATS against Central division teams and the Pacers are 17-6 ATS against Eastern Conference opponents.
