Georgia Bulldogs over Vanderbilt Commodores: Geo is off a tough OT loss against on the road to LSU. This game can go either way. At 0-2 in the conf this is a big game for Geo. Geo will either bounce back or fold. Based on their coaching staff and roster I am literally betting they rebound tonight.
Penn St. Nittany Lions over Michigan Wolverines: Reputation vs. reality has had an impact on this line. Mich has not done well in step up games they are 0-2 s/u and 1-3 ATS in road games.
Georgia Bulldogs over Arkansas Razorbacks: Both teams have good starts to their respective seasons. However based on the posted line I do not think strength of schedule or home court adv has been fully accounted for.
St. Bonaventure Bonnies over Massachusetts Minutemen: Simply too many points. Both teams are underperforming so far this year. St. Bon has the better defense. Other than home court I have these 2 teams virtually even.
Colorado Buffaloes over UCLA Bruins: Pac 12 conf play gets going for both teams tonight. UCLA has performed about what the expectations were for this rebuilding team. They are young inexperienced which especially shows on the road.
Pepperdine Waves over Loyola Marymount Lions: Pepp is off a horrible loss at home so I am expecting a bounce back even on the road. The last loss is partially why this line is so low. Pepp is a very good shooting team and if they return tonight even close to their mean they win this game easily.
Bowling Green Falcons over South Florida Bulls: Two very mediocre teams that are both rebuilding with good coaches. However BG is further ahead in their development than S. Flor is. B.Green is off their worst game of the year and I am expecting a bounce back as they take a step down in class even on the road.
Portland Pilots over San Diego Toreros: Sd has an excellent point guard and they are a very good shooting team. Home court over the holidays with the student body mainly away is reduced. Port also has depth experience and strong point guard play.
Colorado Buffaloes over Hawaii Warriors: Haw has over performed so far this year while Col has underperformed. This gives us value for today laying a small number on the road. Crowd will be thin today with the holidays and early start time so home court adv will be minimal.
Bradley Braves over UC Irvine Anteaters: Simply too many points for 2 teams that are both struggling. UC Irvine is 4-5 s/u in their 9 games and now on a neutral court not only are they being asked to win but at a margin.
