Play Rating: 3%
Play: Iowa State -4.0 (-110)

This should be a pretty competitive game. But there's what I see as a fundamentals edge for Iowa State and that's ultimately the decision maker for me. My philosophy has always been to try and find the team that is more likely to win in the trenches. Control the line of scrimmage and control the game. That's why I put so much emphasis on rushing stats. In this game, Iowa State is better than Oregon both offensively and defensively on that key comparison. Note that this stat generally seems to work best in the bowls. If you simply back teams with the two-way rushing stats advantage in bowls, you win more often than you lose almost every bowl season, and it's been a really dominant trend in many of those years. This season has been no different thus far. Qualifying teams have won six of seven to date, covering five of those matchups. Beyond that, I give the Cyclones a bit of a coaching edge. No news of note for this game on any late opt outs, and both teams are mostly healthy. I think this could be one of the better bowl games, but I expect Iowa State to win and with the line where it is, I'm willing to take my chances laying a small handful with the Cyclones.

Game: (671) Auburn at (672) Texas A&M
Date/Time: Jan 2 2021 3:30 PM EST
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 3%
Play: Texas A&M -2.0 (-110)

Both Auburn and Texas A&M are off losses. The Tigers did what they usually do vs. Arkansas, which is to look to fire from long range. They were an impressive 15/29 against the Hogs but lost at home by double digits. Auburn is only 9/43 on threes in its two road games. The Aggies were destroyed by LSU and they've been horrible in their two road games. But I expect better back in College Station. Head coach Buzz Williams talked at length about poor preparation for that LSU game, so I expect better here. He also talked about the need for his perimeter guys to be very active on the defensive glass here as there will be long rebounds with Auburn firing up threes. Both teams have had major turnover issues but the Aggies are clearly superior at forcing them than is Auburn. I feel the key to this game will be A&M's focus on not allowing offensive rebounds, which they absolutely need to limit here. With the comments by Williams, I'm quite sure we will at least get the necessary effort in that area by the home team. That being the case, I'll lay the bucket with Texas A&M.

CBB OUTLIER PLAY OF THE DAY
Game: (759) CS Bakersfield at (760) Long Beach State
Date/Time: Jan 2 2021 7:00 PM EST
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 4%
Play: CS Bakersfield -4.0 (-110)

Long Beach won the Friday opening round. Definite outliers type game. The 49ers shot much better than they normally do. Bakersfield absolutely killed them on the glass (50-30) which is not surprising as Long Beach was down two starters that happen to be their best rebounders. CSUB also had 23 more shot attempts and even won the turnover battle. Bakersfield appeared to have the game won in regulation but were on the wrong side of a charging call at the close that allowed the 49ers to get the game to overtime. This was clearly a game the Roadrunners should have won. So an OT revenge motive against what might be a shorthanded team off a far better than its norm shooting performance. That's the type of outlier I like and I will be on Bakersfield here.

DAVE'S SATURDAY BASKETS BEST BET
Game: (777) Michigan State at (778) Nebraska
Date/Time: Jan 2 2021 8:00 PM EST
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 4%
Play: Michigan State -8.5 (-115)

I expect a very determined game from Michigan State. The Spartans are 0-3 in conference play and are off what had to be one of the worst games in Tom Izzo's illustrious career. Sparty was beyond inept at both ends of the court in the loss to Minnesota. 12/44 on two point shots while allowing the Gophers to connect at a 24/38 clip. Izzo is making lineup changes here. The Rocket Watts point guard experiment is done. He'll return to shooting guard with Hoggard likely to get most of the minutes at the point. Aaron Henry back in the starting lineup with Langford off the bench. It's a needed shakeup and I think it produces immediate dividends. Nebraska appears to be the perfect remedy for what is ailing the Spartans. The Huskers are an up tempo team that can't shoot the basketball. I will be surprised if this game is close as I don't think there's much chance MSU eases up if they're ahead by a margin. Michigan State minus the points.
