2-Unit Play. Take #544 Miami (-3) over Louisville (2 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 27)
I like the home team in this one. The public is on Louisville but I think that Miami is the team to get this win. This is a good matchup for the Hurricanes and Louisville has been up and down and up and down on the road. Louisville is just 1-6 ATS the last seven Saturdays and they are just 1-7 ATS on the road. Miami is 13-3 ATS at home and on a 5-2 ATS overall run. Play Miami here.
3-Unit Play. Take #587 Kentucky (-1.5) over Vanderbilt (4 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 27)
I am going to go with the Wildcats here. I don't think they are getting enough respect on the road. Last week it took overtime and some blown calls for them to lose at Texas A&M. That A&M team is better than Vanderbilt. The Commodores struggle to defend the post and that is where Kentucky will get the job done. Kentucky has won three straight and five of six in this matchup. They have not been good ATS (1-7 ATS in L8) but that is because the Wildcats are usually laying out a big number. Kentucky beat Vanderbilt by 19 points in the first meeting this year and I think that they will be able to win this game by six or seven points. Take Kentucky.
3-Unit Play. Take #624 San Diego State (-7.5) over Boise State (6 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 27)
I am going to go with the home team in this big Mountain West showdown. The public likes the underdog but I don't think that this game is going to be close. Boise State has been terrible on the road this year. And they are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall. San Diego State won outright in Boise back in January and the Aztecs are very difficult to beat at home. The Aztecs are coming off back-to-back blowout wins on the road and they are going to wrap up another Mountain West regular season title today at home. They are 14-1 in conference play and should take advantage of Boise State playing without leading scorer James Webb III tonight with a big blowout win.
3-Unit Play. Take #663 Fresno State (+6.5) over New Mexico (10 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 27)
I think that the wrong team is favored in this one! I have Fresno State winning this game. New Mexico has a strong home court advantage. But this is not the typically strong New Mexico team. This program has gone downhill fast since Steve Alford left for UCLA. The Lobos are just 9-6 in league play and I haven't seen enough from them to think they will win this one by a blowout. Fresno State will want to settle the score for a 15-point home loss earlier this season and after winning seven of nine games this Bulldogs team is in a nice position in the Mountain West right now. I think that this game is close either way and I think our side could pull the upset.
2-Unit Play. Take #670 UNLV (-9) over Wyoming (8 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 27)
Wyoming could be without star guard Josh Adams tonight. This is not a very good Wyoming team. And they do not usually play well outside of their home gym. And losing their best player would be too much to overcome. This is UNLV's last home game and the books know this hometown team well. This line is high for a reason and I see UNLV getting a blowout.
