7-Unit Play. Take #837 Wake Forest (-3.5) over Charlotte (6 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 17)
Wake Forest is not good. They are shaky as hell and I really wonder how much longer Danny Manning has here. That being said, I think they might be a bit undervalued. This line should've been around 6.0. And even then I likely would've dabbled. Charlotte is coming off a big win over Davidson. But I don't see them getting two upsets in a row. Last year these two teams played and Wake won by 24 points. Home court should change that a bit. So maybe they only win by 12. Charlotte is trying to replace 21-point-per-game scorer Jon Davis. It is more of a collective effort, but they don't have a guy capable of blowing up and making this game a real contest. Wake Forest has too much talent and Charlotte is just 15-45 since the start of the 2017 season. If these guys can lose to James Madison by 5 they can lose to Wake by more than this short line.
2-Unit Play. Take #852 Oklahoma State (-13) over Yale (2:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 17)
Yale hasn't been exposed yet this year. But this team is not anywhere near what they were last year. They haven't replaced Miye Oni or the three other senior starters that graduated. The Bulldogs are stopping in Stillwater after a trip from San Francisco, where they lost in OT on Monday. That's an awkward bit of scheduling and I think they are going to come out flat. Oklahoma State is really good at home. And they play a high-pressure, deny-heavy defense that is really tough for teams to deal with early in the season. I think they will smother Yale here and this one should be a 20-point game.
1-Unit Play. Take 'Over' 139.5 Seton Hall at St.Louis (4 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 17)
1-Unit Play. Take #958 Arizona State (-10.5) over Rider (6 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 17)
This is the type of game that Rider should cover. I know we are on Arizona State. I am just saying that Rider should cover this number. But for some reason this group, which has talent and experience, hasn't put it together over the past two years. This is their third straight road game and their first game in nine days. I don't expect them to be sharp and nothing about what they've done the last two seasons gives me any reason to think they will be competitive here. Last year they played four Top 100 teams in the nonconference. They lost all four games by at least 10 points. It will be more of the same here.
1-Unit Play. Take #858 Arizona State (-5.5) over Rider (6 p.m.) AND Take #864 Georgetown (-5.5) over Georgia State (7:30 p.m.)
