1-Unit Play. Take #725 Troy (+10.5) over Western Kentucky (3 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 16)
I know that this is a pretty good Western Kentucky team. But I just haven't seen it yet. And I can't lay this many points with them until I do.
1-Unit Play. Take #737 Miami, OH (+7) over Northern Kentucky (7 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 16)
Northern Kentucky has one really good player in Drew McDonald. But beyond that this isn't that good of a team. They haven't beaten anyone in the top half of college basketball ratings. Two of their eight wins are over D-II teams. And three others, including their only two Top 100 wins, have come by six points or less. The Redhawks have some guys that can do some things. They are also a much bigger team than NKU and their slow place could grind this game down. There is some reverse line movement on this spread and I will stay on the sharp side.
2-Unit Play. Take #742 West Virginia (-7) over Rhode Island (1 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 16)
I don't really trust West Virginia to lay the wood. However, Rhode Island is a team I want to fade this year so this play is more about betting against them. I don't know if any team in the country lost as much in the offseason. They have kind of held it together so far this season. But they are just 2-4 ATS in their last six games and they lost to the only major conference team they've played this season. They have also only played seven games so they haven't had time to be exposed. WVU has beaten better teams, like Pitt, Rider and St. Joe's, and I think that they will be focused and motivated here on a neutral site.
1-Unit Play. Take #1378 New Mexico (-11.5) over Central Arkansas (4 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 16)
New Mexico has dumped three straight games, albeit to good teams and tough competition. But they are going to want to snap this losing streak in a big way. This is the first really bad team they have faced in several weeks and I think that the Lobos will be able to stretch their legs a little bit.
