5 Unit Play. Take #764 Drake -8.5 over Nebraska-Omaha (8:00 p.m. ET, Thursday, Dec. 3)
Drake has had to retool after losing their big 7'0 footer who transferred. But they have shown to this point at least that they are capable of making the necessary adjustments. Nebraska-Omaha returns three starters, but they have struggled to break in two new guards in the backcourt and I don't see that fixing itself on the road tonight. The Mavericks are a miserable 5-15-1 ATS against a team with a winning record. The Bulldogs are 15-6 ATS after two consecutive non-conference games and they have developed a nice homecourt advantage and are on a 39-17-2 ATS run in Des Moines. Drake takes care of business.
Bounce back night in college hoops. Also, I'm on a 25-12 run the last seven weeks in college football (+$3,920). Consider my football package this week.
4 Unit Play. Take #752 USC +1.5 over Connecticut (7p.m., Thursday, December 3 ESPN) Just feel Connecticut is overhyped again this season. Everyone wants them to return to form but they just do not have the talent yet. USC has been frustrating at times, but they have looked really impressive thus far including a 26 point victory against BYU last time out. They have been in Connecticut and will be rested for this game with a day off yesterday. USC is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games. 73% of the money is coming in on USC.
4 Unit Play. Take #758 Over 137.5 in VMI @ Virginia Tech (8p.m., Thursday, December 3 ACCN) The Keydets have gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 8 games played on Thursday. The Hokies have gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 11 home games (1 push). We will not worry if the Hokies can cover this big number and instead just collect with the over.
4 Unit Play. Take #774 Over 144 in Arizona State @ Cal (10p.m., Thursday, December 3 P12N) All three of the Sun Devils have gone way over tonight's posted number and we expect them to dictate the pace of this game since they are the better team. Arizona State has gone over the posted total in 9 of their last 11 games. Cal has gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 7 games.
3-Unit Play: Take 744 Utah -7 over Washington (6 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 3)
While this is Utah's opener and Washington has played a couple of games, it's not enough to keep me away from the Utes. In fact, we've won in this scenario already this season. The Huskies have been horrible thus far and they're short-handed, not only losing their top two scorers from last season but their best player, Nahziah Carter is still out (suspension). Utah's Timmy Allen will be the best player on the floor and Washington doesn't have a decent matchup to slow him down. The Utes are expecting a solid jump with a decent amount of returning faces and they're on a 6-1 ATS run at home. Washington enters having covered 5 of their last 22 overall and 2 of their last 10 on the road. I'm laying the points with Utah. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
1-Unit Play. Take #744 Utah (-7) over Washington (6 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 3)
1-Unit Play. Take #747 Marshall (-1) over Wright State (7 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 3)
1-Unit Play. Take #772 Boston College (+6) over Florida (9:30 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 3)
Florida was the most overrated team in the country last year. I still think they are overrated. The Gators aren't a bad team by any stretch. But they haven't earned enough trust to make me think they will step in and handle a B.C. team that's playing close to home and a bit more familiar with this court. The Eagles have already played three tough games against three good teams. Nothing that Florida throws at them is going to be anything B.C. hasn't seen yet.
4-Unit Play. Take #773 Arizona State (-6.5) over California (10 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 3)
Cal is still pretty bad. We hit with them over Nicholls State the other night. But that was far from a sure thing and they are just lucky their opponent shot 33 percent from the field. This is Arizona State's first true road game. I think that they are going to be extremely focused. This is also their first league game and ASU has designs on winning the Pac-12 this season. These two teams aren't comparable in terms of talent. So unless ASU just flops because they aren't ready to play they should handle the Bears.
1-Unit Play. Take #7234 Arkansas-Little Rock (+1) over Winthrop (4 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 3)
I definitely like Little Rock in this situation. Winthrop beat UNC-Greensboro and Little Rock lost to them. But that doesn't tell me that much because there isn't a big discrepancy between these two teams. UA-LR has the edge here, though, for a variety of reasons. First, better team, better conference. Little Rock won the Sun Belt last year and brought back three starters and six of their top eight players. Second, Winthrop has only played once this year. Little Rock has played three games. They have been able to iron out some wrinkles. Again, these are two good teams but I'll side with the better one.
1-Unit Play. 5-POINT TEASER: Take #744 Utah (-2) over Washington (6 p.m.) AND Take #772 Boston College (+11) over Florida (9:30 p.m.)
3-Unit Play. #307235. Take UMASS Lowell +17.5 over NC State (Thursday @ 4:30pm est)
We rollw ith UMass Lowell as big underdogs today. Note, that this team beat one of the best teams in the league in San Francsisco which is not easy to do as this is the same San Fran team that beat the snot out of Nevada and even beat Virginia earlier this year. They showed it was not a fluke in their win against Virginia by crushing an undefeated Nevada team. As per UMass Lowell, they lost to Ohio State by 10 points and they did have a hiccup against Illinois State but that was sandwiched in between the win against San Fran and Ohio State so don't hold it against them. NC State is a very good team no doubt, but the difference here is that on a total of 150 or so and the fact that Lowell has the ability to play their hearts out on defense and that NC State has Connecticut on deck and has not been truly challenged yet this season, I think UMass Lowell can hang tough today. Note, 8 Football Plays released today, we went 5-3 last week, and Back/Back Winning Football Weeks and 5-1 with Football Top Plays last 6 weeks.
4-unit Play. #122004. Competition: Europa League. Take Over 2.5 Goals (-150) Zorya Lugansk vs Leicester City. (Thursday @ 12:55 pm et) (For this to Win, 3 or more goals must be scored, Regulation + Injury time).
Nice Winner yesterday behind Chelsea beating Sevilla yesterday 4-0, we roll with another selection today. Note, we have our Football Card being released today including another 6* NFL Selection and we went 5-3 in Football Last Week, have won back to back Weeks in the NFL and are looking forward to a similar 5-3 Week and 5-1 in Football Top Plays Last 6 Weeks as well. We like the over here as Leicester has already secured a place in the knockout rounds as they sit on 10 points leading second place Sporting Braga by three. Because of this and Leicester's 2-1 loss to Fulham at home over the weekend, expect Brendan Rogers to shake things up a bit today. Leicester are winless in their last three, all hitting 3 or more goals and five of their last six overall have also hit 3 or more goals. Away from home, Leicester are 3-1-1 in their last five, but have a loss and a draw in their last two, though their last four have all hit 3 or more goals. In the Europa League, Leicester are unbeaten in their last four with all four hitting three or more goals including their 3-3 draw at Sporting Braga last time out. For Zorya, they sit bottom of Group G on three points, level with ARK Athens, but behind on head to head. They are unbeaten in their last three, winning back to back matches, both 3-0 score lines. Three of their last four overall have hit 3 or more goals, though they are winless in their last three at home. Three of their last four at home have all hit 3 or more goals as well. Zorya are regulars to the Europa League, while Leicester are making their first appearance in 20 years. The host have not seen much success in the competition, with just two wins in their last eight matches, though they are coming off a 3-0 win at AEK Athens. Additionally, their last six have all hit 3 or more goals in the Europa League. This is a great opportunity for Zorya to catch Leicester on the back foot, while a fresh Leicester side with a mix of bench and second stringers could be out to impress. Because of these two factors we expect this to easily cover.
3-Unit Play: Take 224598 Zorya +275 over Leicester (12:55 p.m., Thurs, Dec. 3)
This is a Europa League match and we need Zorya to win in full time, which means 90 minutes of regulation and any added time by the referee.
Leicester isn't at full strength in this one and because they've already wrapped-up a spot in the knockout round I do believe Brendon Rodgers will manage the game for bigger matches down the road. This means there's a solid chance Rodgers could sit a few key players. After all, they own a 7-point lead over today's opponent. Zorya has been hot of late including a 3-0 win over AEK Athens. I expect an upset here. I'm backing Zorya over Leicester on Thursday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
