CFB - 3* Game 316 - SMU (+8) - Friday
Edges - Mustangs: 5-2 ATS in this series when Memphis owns a win percentage of .600 or less … Tigers: 1-9 ATS as road favorites against foes coming off a win of 7 or more points … With Memphis arriving off its bowl clinching 6th win last week, and SMU in need of one more win to become bowl eligible, we recommend a strong 3* play in SMU. Thank you and good luck as always.

2-Unit Play. Take #719 East Carolina (+15.5) over Georgia Tech (7:30 p.m.)
Georgia Tech is coming off a big game up in Tennessee in which they covered the spread and stayed competitive. They went from being a 15-point underdog to now being a 15-point favorite and I think that's a pretty wild swing. East Carolina is one of the worst programs in D-I. But I think they will be a bit more excited for this game than the Yellowjackets and they should find a way to hang around.

4-Unit Play. Take #728 Richmond (-8) over IUPUI (7 p.m.)
IUPUI is coming off a shocking upset over Boston College their last time out. Now they are back on the road to face a pretty solid Richmond team. I think that this one screams for a letdown. IUPUI went 11-19 last year and they just had their biggest upset win in years. Richmond is not an easy place to play and the Spiders always shoot well in their home gym. I think Richmond wins this one going away.

4-Unit Play. Take #729 St. John's (-3) over Rutgers (7 p.m.)
This one is either going to be really, really right or really, really wrong. St. John's is by far and away the better team in this matchup and they have one of the best backcourts in the country. If they are hitting their shots and doing their thing then they will blow Rutgers' doors off because the Scarlet Knights simply don't have anyone that can score. They lost their only weapon from last year, Corey Sanders, and they don't really have an answer. Rutgers has the massive size advantage in this one. But, again, they are going to have to deal with St. John's guards and I don't see how they can do that with two big men on the floor. St. John's is kind of a boom or bust team. I am hoping that the good St. John's shows up and if they do this game won't be close.

2-Unit Play. Take #742 UNLV (-8) over Oakland (10 p.m.)
UNLV slipped up in their opener against Loyola Marymount. But they rebounded with a 21-point win and I think that they have stabilized somewhat. Oakland is coming off two home losses and both of them were brutal. They lost by one point to Toledo in the opener in a back-and-forth game and then lost in overtime against Western Michigan in a game they completely blew. UNLV has too much size and athleticism for this Oakland team, which can be averse to defense.

2-Unit Play. Take #752 Pepperdine (-3) over Towson (8 p.m.)
This Towson team was gutted from last year and they are really in a transitional season. They are trying to go back to their gritty, hard-nosed defensive ways. But that doesn't happen overnight. Pepperdine is coming off a tough loss to Northern Colorado. But Lorenzo Romar is a good coach and a good hire and he should get this team back on track here on a neutral site.

4-Unit Play. Take #769 Oregon State (-1.5) over Old Dominion (1 p.m.)
It is kind of now or never for Oregon State. The core of this team has been together for a few years now and it is time to produce. Coach Wayne Tinkle is coaching for his job, and for the jobs of his assistants - and the coach's kids are the ones they are leaning on. These guys, Tres Tinkle and Steve and Ethan Thompson, are experienced and skilled. The Beavers are also healthy, something they have struggled with. Old Dominion is at a size disadvantage here and they lost their two best players from last year. This team is not as good as the 25-game winner we saw last season and they are rebuilding a bit. I think Oregon State, the better team from the better conference, will be focused and ready to play in their neutral court affair and I think that they will find a way to win a close, low-scoring game here.

5-Unit Play. Take #776 Kansas State (-19.5) over Eastern Kentucky (7:30 p.m.)
Kansas State brought back the entirety of their Elite Eight team from last year. They have been coasting so far and haven't played well in either one of their first two games. But I think they will get it going tonight in the Octagon. Eastern Kentucky is a bad team that tries to play fast. That can be a bad combo because it just exacerbates how unskilled they are, especially against top competition. EKU lost by nearly 30 in their opener against Marshall. I can see the same thing happening here.

1-Unit Play. Take #784 Georgetown (-6) over Loyola Marymount (7 p.m.)
Georgetown is coming off a nice win over Illinois in a true road game. Now they are facing LMU on a neutral court and we will see if Pat Ewing will have his guys ready. LMU has one monster in the post. But if Georgetown's center, who is one of the best in the Big East, gets him into foul trouble then I think LMU will crumble.

2-Unit Play. Take #794 Iowa (-4) over Connecticut (7 p.m.)
I don't think that Connecticut is going to shoot the ball like they did last night. They were throwing it in from all over the place and Syracuse did not play particularly well on either end of the floor. This Iowa team is skilled and experienced. And if they didn't have any problem with the Oregon big men then they should have no problem with the Huskies down low.

2-Unit Play. Take #819 UT-Martin (+7) over Mercer (7 p.m.)
Mercer is in a letdown spot after their game against Georgia State. That game should not have been that close. But the Bears return home and now dress up as a favorite for the first time this year. UT-Martin isn't any good. But I just think that this Mercer team isn't very good either and they should not really be laying points to too many teams. They lost their entire starting five from last year's team and they are rebuilding. This should be an ugly, tight game.

1-Unit Play. Take #824 Colorado (-17) over Omaha (9 p.m.)
Omaha will try to play fast in this game. But they are going to play right into Colorado's hands. I think the Buffaloes, who have the three best players in this game, will be able to dictate the tempo and wear down Omaha, a team that is not used to playing at altitude.

1-Unit Play. Take #1388 Tulsa (-14) over Cal-Baptist (1 p.m.)
This game can be found under Added Games or Extra Games.
Cal-Baptist is playing D-I for the first time this year. As such, oddsmakers aren't used to lining their games and I think they have shorted Tulsa by about three points. Frank Haith is just always competitive in the AAC and he has a team capable of running away from an overmatched opponent.

1-Unit Play. TEASER: Take #759 Purdue (-2.5) over Davidson (7 p.m.) AND Take #1414 Georgia (-9) over Sam Houston State (7 p.m.)
