1-Unit Play. Take #529 Bradley (-1) over Illinois-Chicago (8 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 17)
I'll go with the better team from the better conference. I'm still not buying into UI-C at all. They are without their two best players from last year and it is not like they have some great home court advantage. Their last two games have gone to overtime and they were lucky to win both. I think that luck is going to run out here.
1-Unit Play. Take #541 Georgia Southern (-5) over Pepperdine (8 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 17)
Tookie Brown and Ike Smith are now seniors and they have been two of the best players in the Sun Belt for the better part of the last three seasons. I think they are better than anything that Pepperdine has to offer. The Wave kind of struggled with Towson yesterday. And although they have covered nine straight spreads I think their time of being severely undervalued is over. Georgia Southern should win a close one.
1-Unit Play. Take #546 Providence (-1.5) over South Carolina (2:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 17)
I'll go with the Friars in this one. They are playing closer to home and should have a strong support from the crowd. Nothing about South Carolina scares me. They have a couple decent interior pieces. And they will play really hard on the defensive end. But their guards stink. And Providence is tough enough where USC's defense isn't really going to rattle them. I think Providence has two of the three best players on the floor and they should get a hard-fought, low-scoring win.
2-Unit Play. Take #1459 UC-Davis (-6) over Texas A&M-CC (3 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 17)
This game should be available under Extra Games or Added Games. UC-Davis has gotten off to a really rough start, going 0-3. But all three losses have come against Top 100 teams. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi is one of the weakest teams in the country and they are picked to finish somewhere in the middle of the pack in the Southland. Yes, they are 3-1 so far this season. But two of those wins came against D-II schools, including Our Lady of the Lake. A&M-CC is coming off a big upset over UT-Arlington (in what was really a road game) and I think they will have a little letdown here. UC-Davis won the Big West last year and is one of the better teams in the league again this season. At some point they are going to snap out of their little funk and I think they will get a win here.

4-Unit Play. #523. Take Over 150.5 William and Mary vs. Notre Dame (Saturday @ 12pm) - NOTE THIS IS A VERY EARLY GAME
Solid 2-0 day yesterday for +800, let's keep rolling today. Note we have an important 7* and 6* NCAAF Selection that goes off at 12pm - Early game similar to this CBB Game. We are ready to go 4-1 in Football this week. Notre Dame just dropped 60 points in their last game against Radford - and Lost. They lost Outright to a team by 3 points they had no business losing to. This is a team that had scored 84 and 89 points before that. Look for this team to bounce-back in a big way offensively as Radford is a top 150 defense but William and Mary is a top 285 defense and that is the difference. William and Mary is not a slouch by any means though they might be a bad defense but a top 150 team overall - because their offense is decent as they are a top 60 offense. They just scored 70 points against Duquesne in overtime, 95 against Illinois-Chicago in Overtime and 79 against High Point. Look for a game in which William and Mary shoots the ball well here and Notre Dame also bounces-back offensively and this sets up for a solid Over today.

Rotation #325-326
Purdue -3.5 over Wisconsin
Every team is entitled to that one game of the year in which you throw out the game tape.* Purdue played that game last week against Minnesota as they were beat up by a young team who just fired their defensive coordinator and then went on to have their best defensive game of the season.* Purdue looked awful.* Wisconsin is a more talented football team than Minnesota, but Purdue plays a lot better behind their home crowd.* Wisconsin always has a great defense, but they don’t have as much talent up front this year and the secondary is young.* Purdue has so many talented offensive weapons that should get back on track this afternoon.* The real story today is QB Jack Coan who will probably get the start for the Badgers today with Alex Hornibrook still suffering from a concussion.* In my opinion Coan is not ready to hit the road and grab a victory for his team.* The Boilermakers obviously will be all focus this afternoon after last week.**Take Purdue.
