BEST BETS:
Take Villanova Wildcats -3 vs. Temple Owls. Location: Liacouras Center-Philadelphia, PA
Time: 3:00pm EST.
EVALUATION: The #3 Wildcats are undefeated at 9-0 SU and have been beating teams by an average of 14.9 pts a game. They are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games and have been averaging over 96 pts a game on the road which is ranked #1 in the NCAA. This is their third straight game on the road, and they just beat a scrappy St. Joseph’s team 97-89 and a recent Top 25 team in Maryland 95-86. These two schools are separated by about 20 miles, so this is an in city rivalry that Villanova has dominated for the last 4 years beating the Owls by an average of 16.25 pts a game. Temple is a tough opponent allowing just 52.9 pts a game, but they have not played any one has tough as Villanova. NOTE: THIS IS OUR BEST BET OF DAY.
PROJECTION: Villanova 81 Temple 73
TAKE PORTLAND ST VIKINGS -1 vs. Pepperdine Waves. Location: Pepperdine Waves – Malibu, CA Time: 5:00pm EST.
EVALUATION: Pepperdine is 3-7 SU through a third of their schedule, and have lost their last four of their last 5 games on their home court to sub-par competition such as Long Beach St., Pacific, Fresno St., and California Baptist. They have a home court average of 69.7 pts a game. The Vikings are 4-4 SU, but since starting the season at the Athletes in Action Basketball Classic where they lost 3 straight games in Seattle, Wa to Belmont, Wright St., and Washington U, the Vikings have went on a tear. In their last 5 games they have only lost one time to Stanford in Palo Alto, and in their 4 wins they have scored an average of 90.25 pts a game. The Vikings are shooting an average of 50.6% from the field, and we think now that they have their confidence, they will win this game on the road.
