St. John’s vs. BYU 5:00 PM ET Game# 721-722 Play On: St. John’s +1.5 (5*) St. John’s is 3-0 and has played a much tougher schedule than BYU to this point.

South Carolina State @ Clemson 6:00 PM ET Game# 189-190 Play On: Over 139.5 (5*) South Carolina State is 0-2 thus far but registered an enormous 75 field goal attempts per game. They also allowed 91.0 points per game in those pair of defeats. Clemson is coming off an impressive 81-70 win over Purdue in which they had 59 field goal attempts and made an outstanding 49.2% of those. The pace promises to be brisk in this contest. I am predicting Clemson to score in the high eighties to low nineties in this game. South Carolina State will do just enough offensively to hold up its part of the successful equation. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 5* wager. |

North Dakota -2 -105 at BMaker |

|
North Dakota @ Dixie State 9:00 PM ET Game# 723-724 Play On: North Dakota -2.0 (5*) Dixie State is not only playing in their season opener but it will be their first game at the Division 1 level. They come up from the Division 2 ranks which they established themselves as a national power at that level. Thus, the respect they received from oddsmakers by being installed as just a 1.0-point underdog to open. North Dakota is not a great team by any stretch, but they will be good enough tonight to capture the win and cover. Bet on North Dakota for a 5* wager. |

Ross Benjamin has made his reputation in the sports handicapping industry by being one of the sharpest prognosticators over the last 15 years. In professional sports handicapper Ron Raymond’s 2008 published book “50 Greatest Sports Betting Secrets” he probably says it best. “One of the most underrated handicappers in our industry and probably one of the sharpest ones I know is Ross Benjamin.” One of Ross’ often used phrases when speaking publicly, “if you want to be a successful sports handicapper then start by thinking like a bookmaker”. Ross is 61 years old and has been directly involved in many capacities of the sports gaming industry for the last 31 years. However there is nothing he enjoys more than the challenge of picking winners in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA Football, and NCAA Basketball.
