1-Unit Play. Take #729 Kentucky (-7) over Seton Hall (Noon, Saturday, Dec. 8)

I haven't seen Kentucky play well yet. However, they have still been able to grind their way to seven straight wins. This is a really young team that boasts a lot of size and raw talent. And I think that they are going to come to play here at Madison Square Garden. Seton Hall has the best player on the floor in Myles Powell. And they will get a boost playing close to home. But Kentucky just has too much size. Seton Hall has some issues in the frontcourt, with big men Taurean Thompson and Romaro Gill both dealing with injuries and issues with the coaches. I don't think the chemistry on this Seton Hall team is very good. And I think that it will cost them today against a superior squad.

1-Unit Play. Take #731 Georgetown (+10.5) over Syracuse (3:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)
This is an old school Big East rivalry game and I think that it will be relatively tight. Georgetown took Syracuse to overtime in the meeting last year and I think that they will be able to hang around here in the Dome. The Orange already lost outright to one of their rivals, Connecticut, as an 8-point favorite. They won't lose here. But I also don't know that they are just going to hammer the Hoyas.

1-Unit Play. Take #735 Xavier (+7) over Cincinnati (2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)
I would be stunned to see a blowout in this game. Xavier is not nearly as good as they were last year after losing their coach and their three best players. However, they still have four or five guys that played serious minutes on those outstanding teams the past two years. I know that Cincinnati has own eight straight. But they have played a bunch of schlubs and nobodies. I don't think that this Bearcats team is all that good. Xavier has played a legit schedule and their losses have come against top 10 teams like Wisconsin and Auburn. This is a rivalry game between two good defensive teams and I think that points will be at a premium.

1-Unit Play. Take #752 Oklahoma (-7.5) over Wichita State (Noon, Saturday, Dec. 8)

I think Oklahoma will keep rolling. The fact that this is essentially a home game is huge. OU is in a little letdown spot after beating Notre Dame in Madison Square Garden this week. But the home crowd edge will give the boys a boost and keep them playing hard, staving off the letdown for a bit longer. I just don't think Wichita State is very good. They have lost a ton of talent the last two years. They are young and raw this year, and totally dependent on Markis McDuffie. That won't be enough. OU is playing good basketball. This is a team that I was high on coming into the season because I knew they would be better off without Trae Young, who was overrated last year. They are playing good team basketball and they can beat people a lot of different ways. OU has a solid rotation, a ton of experience, and they will be motivated to get this win.

4-Unit Play. Take #768 Oklahoma State (-2) over Houston (4 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)

Houston is undefeated. They have wins over BYU and Oregon, two solid teams. But there is something about this team that I still don't trust. This is a dangerous spot for them, going on the road to take on an ornery Oklahoma State team. The Cowboys are coming off back-to-back road losses, including a rivalry loss at Tulsa. But this is their first road game since Nov. 18 and they are a different team on their home court. Houston lost its two best players from last year, including Rob Gray. It hasn't come back to bite them just yet but I think that it will here. Besides those two wins Houston has played a bunch of nobodies. Oklahoma State has played a brutal schedule. And I think that will have sharpened them for this one. I'm banking on home court and a pissed off Cowboys squad.

1-Unit Play. Take #769 Buffalo (-7) over St. Bonaventure (4 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)

This Buffalo team is no joke. Do you know how hard it is for a MAC team to get ranked in the Top 20? It doesn't happen! But Buffalo is there and they are there for a reason. The Bulls are on a 7-0 ATS rush and I think they will win this game going away. St. Bonaventure is a really tough place to play particularly because it is a hard place to get to. But it is just a short trip for Buffalo and this is a regional rivalry. The Bulls have lost in this series four straight times. But for the first time in years they actually come into this game with the more talented team. The Bonnies are in a rebuilding year after losing four starters, including a stellar backcourt tandem, from last year's NCAA Tournament team. They just aren't that good. The Bulls brought back four starters from their own NCAA Tournament team. Buffalo is going to win this game. And I think that they have the goods to make it a blowout.

1-Unit Play. Take #771 Northern Illinois (+14.5) over Butler (4:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)


1-Unit Play. Take #773 Kansas State (-6) over Tulsa (4:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)

1-Unit Play. Take #777 Wisconsin (+1.5) over Marquette (5 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 7)

Markus Howard is the best player on the floor. But Wisconsin is the better team. Styles make fights. And I think that Wisconsin's deliberate pace is really going to frustrate the Golden Eagles in this one.

2-Unit Play. Take #786 Colorado (-11) over Illinois-Chicago (6 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)
Colorado has been either really, really good, winning four games by 20 or more points, or they have been really, really bad, losing to San Diego, struggling with Omaha and barely beating Colorado State. Erratic is the perfect word for them. But this play is simply against Illinois-Chicago because they are in a letdown spot. They are coming off a rivalry blowout over Illinois State in which they shot 56%. They aren't going to do that here. The Flames played three straight tough games and the last two were at home against in-state rivals Loyola-Chicago and Illinois State. After gearing up for those regional games now they are going on the road, playing in altitude, against a team that is flat-out more talented. This one reeks of a flat spot for the Flames. They have been terrible on the road, losing by 17, 10, 1 and 14 points. And this is their toughest road game yet. Colorado should clean them out.

1-Unit Play. Take #788 Nebraska (-7.5) over Creighton (6 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)

Nebraska has proven with blowout home wins over Seton Hall and Illinois that they are not to be trifled with in Lincoln. This is a talented, experienced Cornhuskers team that is led by three outstanding seniors. And they are going to want a statement win here against an in-state rival. Nebraska has lost to Creighton seven straight times and Tim Miles is yet to beat the Bluejays. These haven't been close losses either; they have been blowouts. All seven losses have been by at least 10 points, including last season's 75-65 defeat in Omaha. It is revenge time. Creighton has had to sit and stew all week about the game they let get away: their home shot versus No. 1 Gonzaga. Creighton got outscored by 18 points in the second half and blew an 11-point lead in the game. That kind of loss can stay with a young team. This is also Creighton's first road test of the season. It is going to be difficult for this group, which starts three sophomores and one freshmen. Nebraska is an outstanding 25-5 ATS in their last 30 games and this team has been a moneymaker for the past two seasons. Creighton is a good young team with some size and some talent. However, I think that Nebraska is going to be hyped up for this game and focused on breaking that losing streak to the Jays. It won't be a blowout, though I do see Nebraska winning this game. And if they do they should be able to easily clear this low bar. Play Nebraska.

2-Unit Play. Take #797 BYU (-3.5) over Utah (2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)

Getting this game on a neutral site makes all the difference. And I think that BYU is the better team right now. Getting Nick Emery back was huge for this team and you could see the impact as they demolished Utah State in another rivalry game earlier this week.

4-Unit Play. Take #801 Mississippi State (-4) over Clemson (4 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)
Clemson has three really good players. Marcquise Reed, Shelton Mitchell and Elijah Thomas are all super-seniors. They are around 23 years old and are savvy college veterans that have been through ACC wars. But that's it. That's all this team has. They have no depth. They have no bench. And here's the big deal: Reed is hurt. He is the team's leading scorer, the best ball-handler, and the go-to guy on this squad. He hurt his knee on Tuesday. At first the Tigers thought he would be out for the year. Fortunately for them it is just a knee sprain. But he's not playing today. And if he does he won't be near 100 percent. Even if he was this would be a tough win for the Tigers. They have lost to the only two good teams they have played, Creighton and Nebraska. The Bulldogs are solid. They don't shoot well from the outside. But they have some dudes. Quinndary Weatherspoon has NBA potential. Aric Holman is a solid big man. Lamar Peters is a veteran point guard. They have five guys averaging in double figures and a solid eight-man rotation that gives them flexibility. The defend well and they make their free throws. I think the loss of Reed - if indeed he doesn't play - is huge and completely rattles the chemistry of this Tigers team. I think Mississippi State is good enough to take advantage.

1-Unit Play. Take #807 Rider (+2.5) over Hofstra (4 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)
It's really weird that Rider has only played four games to this point. Hofstra has played nine. I guess we will say that Rider is well rested. But here is the thing: Hofstra has struggled to get home wins over really bad teams like Siena and Monmouth. They are up and down. And they are just 19-39 ATS in their last 58 home games. This is a really good, really experienced Rider team. And their time off is either going to be a major advantage or a major disadvantage in this game. I'm betting on the former.

1-Unit Play. Take #814 Western Illinois (-8.5) over Eastern Illinois (8 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)
This is an early season rematch from an OT loss at Eastern Illinois back in November. You usually don't see rivalry rematches like this, but I think that Western Illinois is going to take advantage. This isn't a very good team and they haven't played all that well. But three of their five losses - including that loss at EIU - have come by four points or less. The public is all over the underdog in this one but we'll go the other way.

3-Unit Play. Take #830 Oregon (-19.5) over Omaha (8 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)

I think that the Ducks are going to lay the wood here. Omaha is going to have absolutely no answer for the mutant that is Bol Bol. Oregon has lost back-to-back games. That includes a shocking upset loss to Texas Southern the last time they were at home. This team is going to be pissed. And I don't think that Dana Altman is going to hold anything back. This Omaha team lost by 19 points to Seattle - and Seattle stinks. They also got bombed by Minnesota by 28, Iowa State by 27 and Arizona State by 18. They can't compete at this level and I think the Ducks are going to max out and flex their muscles a bit here.

7-Unit Play. Take #1156 Kansas (-15) over New Mexico State (8:30 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)
NOTE: This game can be found in "Added Games" or "Extra Games".
I think that this game is going to be a goddamn bloodbath. Kansas lost one of its best players and team leaders, Udoka Azubuike, to injury. So everyone on this very talented roster is going to raise their level of play to make up for his absence. I see that all the time in all sports. On top of that, NMSU is swimming way, way, way out of their depth here. They have only played one Top 140 team this year, St. Mary's. And they lost by 15 points to them - at home. And that St. Mary's team isn't any good. Further, the visiting Aggies are in a killer letdown spot. They are coming off an absolute peak performance in a 35-point home win over hated rival New Mexico on Tuesday. They played and shot above their heads and there is nowhere to go but down from there. And they will go down, hard. Kansas doesn't beat people at home - they embarrass them. They just beat a Wofford team, a team that is probably better than NMSU, by 35 points this week. This game isn't at The Phog. But it is at nearby Kansas City on a court this team is familiar with. I think they are going to max out. They have a week off before next week's game against Villanova. I think they will hammer this overmatched Aggies team and win this one going away.

1-Unit Play. Take #1157 Cal-Bakersfield (-1) over Idaho (10 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 8)

I'm going to keep betting against Idaho. This is not a good team and we'll keep taking our shots against them.

Saturday Football:

6 Unit Play. Take #104 Army -7 over Navy (3:00 PM, Saturday, December 8, CBS)

4 Unit 6-Point Teaser. Take #104 Army -1 AND Under 46

3 Unit Play. Take #103/104 Navy vs Army Under 40

The Army Black Knights will look to make it three wins in a row over the Navy Midshipmen when the two teams meet at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA on Saturday afternoon. Army has posted a 5-1 ATS record in their last six games played on a natural surface and they have that same 5-1 ATS record in their last six games played in the month of December. They have also covered the number in four of their last five neutral site games and they are a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a bye week, Navy, on the other hand, has struggled a bit in the spot they are in here on Saturday as they have gone just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up loss and they are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight versus a team with a winning record. They also have that same 2-6 ATS record in their last eight games where they faced an independent team and they are an awful 3-7 ATS in their last ten games overall. Throw in the fact that the Black Knights are a perfect 4-0 ATS in the last four head to head meetings between the two schools and we're going to lay the points with them here to get the win and cover in Philly on Saturday afternoon.
As for the total, Navy is 9-3 to the under in their last twelve neutral site games and they are 14-4 to the under in their last eighteen games played in the month of December. Army has been an over team as well in the spot they are in here on Saturday as they have gone under the number in five of their last six games versus a team from the AAC and they are 13-3 to the under in their last sixteen games played in December. They have also gone an impressive 16-5 to the under in their last 21 neutral site games and they are a lights out 21-5 to the under in their last 26 games off a bye week. Throw in the fact that these two teams are 16-5 to the under in their last 21 head to head meetings and that's where we'll have our play as we expect both teams to run the ball and chew up the clock in Philly on Saturday afternoon.
