Taking the PACERS. 4* Money Maker 

Taking TAMPA and going PUCK LINE. Thought about over 6.5 but now they are hitting us with -140 juice. Leafs in a bit of a slump dropping 2 straight, 3 of 4 and 5 of 7. Tampa just a monster this season. 4* PL Money TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING 

Taking RADFORD. 4* Money Maker 

Taking HAWAII here. I am just not a fan of this CSN team. I know Hawaii on the mainland is normally not a big recipe for success. But, the Warriors have won here the last 2 years. We'll grab who I have as the better team in this spot. 4* Money Maker HAWAII 

Taking TEXAS STATE. These guys and Georgia State should be 1-2 in the Sun Belt. At best Little Rock is a .500 team in conference play and possibly, 18-20 losses on the year. Going to find out just how good this defense is. 61ppg looks pretty stingy. ALR comes in off 91 points and is shooting nearly 50% from the field. The number tells me that the defense comes to play. 4* Money Maker TEXAS STATE 

Taking MURRAY STATE. Have these guys as one of the Top 50 schools in the country. They will have a tough game or 2 with OVC Jax State, Belmont and Peay. But the Racers are good. I do have to say I don't like this is their 3rd straight road game. But 18 and 21pt wins show me they handle the road just fine. They did lose by 5 at Auburn and 6 at Alabama. The 2 other road games in between - 18 and 22 point wins. Lay it- 4* Money Maker MURRAY STATE 

Taking AUSTIN PEAY. I have Peay as a 20+ win team, while SIUE won't crack double digits. Govs play defense and have one of the better OVC offenses. Let's just say the Cougars of SIUE are not as good as the visitors. 4* Money Maker AUSTIN PEAY

Taking SOUTHERN UTAH tonight. Portland State has won the last 10 in this series. But, there are always buts, sometimes big ones - Not trusting this team in this spot. I can never back a team that shoots less than 40% from the field on the road. This group, shoots 37%. 4* Money Maker SOUTHERN UTAH 

Taking EASTERN KENTUCKY. Not that EKU is some huge power out of the Ohio Valley, they will be a sub .500 club. But Tenn Martin could be the worse team in conference play. Skyhawks 0-8 on the road and give up nearly 82ppg. EKY likes to push the pace- They will give up points, but I don't think Tenn Martin has enough guns to pull it out. 4* Money Maker EASTERN KENTUCKY 

Taking WESTERN KENTUCKY. Do not be swayed by FIU putting up over 80ppg. There is a lot of fluff in their early schedule. Dropping 100+ on teams like Florida Memorial, Ave Maria, Webber (Not that Weber) and Johnson and Wales is not a testament to being an offensive powerhouse. CUSA play will separate the men from the boys. WKU will be fighting for a top spot in conference, while FIU will be floundering with a sub .500 record. WKU has knocked off Wisconsin, St Mary's, Arkansas and West Virginia. They are battle tested. 4* Money Maker WESTERN KENTUCKY 

Taking SAN ANTONIO. This is not the old Mid Ten State teams. This team is a whole new bag. It is evident by their 2-13 ATS number. UTSA, 10-3 ATS. Back to the Blue Raiders. New coach in town. Have this time outside of the Top 300 schools in the country. We will lay the small number with the as of now leaders of CUSA. 4* Money Maker UTSA ROADRUNNERS

Taking HOFSTRA. Wilmington gives up way to many points. I know double digits is tough with a back-door, but Pride scoring over 80 a game. I can't see NCW keeping within 15- especially here on the road. NC Wilmington won both games last year, but we get our revenge tonight. 4* Money Maker HOFSTRA
