All Picks

CCSU Central Connecticut -3.5 @ CHST Chicago State

Central Connecticut -3.5

LOSS

Central Connecticut's superior shooting, rebounding, and balance make them a value road favorite against a Chicago State team they already beat by 11 two weeks ago

DAV Davidson -1 @ FOR Fordham

Fordham -1.5

WIN

Fordham's defensive pressure and pace control neutralizes Davidson's explosive offense in a home grinder

WGA West Georgia @ QUC Queens University -11.5

West Georgia +11.5

WIN

West Georgia's superior shooting (43.5 FG% vs 35.7%) and half-court discipline should keep this within single digits against a Queens team whose recent scoring surge is unsustainable

SMC Saint Mary's @ WSU Washington State

Saint Mary's -8.5

WIN

Saint Mary's has a massive interior advantage and elite defense to suffocate Washington State's limited offense on the road

SCU Santa Clara @ SF San Francisco

San Francisco +7.5

LOSS

San Francisco's home offensive efficiency and Santa Clara's rust off a week layoff make 7.5 points too many in a rivalry game with sharp line disagreement across books.

USU Utah State @ NEV Nevada

Nevada +5.5

WIN

Nevada's 13-2 home dominance and five-headed scoring monster keeps this tight against a Utah State team built for grind-it-out road wins, not blowouts

FSU Florida State @ CLEM Clemson -8.5

Florida State +8.5

WIN

FSU's surging offense and Clemson's 3-game skid make this spread inflated — take the points with the confident road dog.

NCCU North Carolina Central @ HOW Howard -12.5

Over 142.5

WIN

Howard's offense at home plus NCCU's five double-digit scorers should push this past 142.5 in an up-tempo MEAC clash.

WAKE Wake Forest @ VT Virginia Tech -4.5

Wake Forest +4.5

LOSS

VT has dropped five of six and can't score at home, while Wake's efficient offense and interior size exploits the Hokies' defensive cracks — take the points.

XAV Xavier @ BUT Butler -3.5

Butler -3.5

WIN

Xavier's 1-7 road record and offensive collapse away from home runs straight into Butler's 10-6 home dominance and defensive identity at Hinkle

NAVY Navy -9.5 @ ARMY Army

Navy -9.5

WIN

Navy's balanced scoring, rebounding dominance, and 6-game win streak overwhelm an Army offense averaging just 55.9 PPG — lay the points on the road favorite.

ISU Iowa State -4.5 @ BYU BYU

BYU +4.5

WIN

BYU's 14-2 home record and offensive firepower against Iowa State's shaky road form (5-3, faded at TCU) make 4.5 points too many in a line the books can't agree on

UCSB UC Santa Barbara @ HAW Hawai'i

Hawai'i -3.5

LOSS

Hawai'i's elite home record (14-2) and desperate bounce-back spot trumps UCSB's road struggles — books underpricing the venue and motivation edge.

IDHO Idaho @ SAC Sacramento State

Sacramento State +3.5

LOSS

Idaho is 1-4 in true road conference games and Sacramento State is 9-3 at home — the line undervalues the Hornets' fortress and Idaho's road struggles.

CIN Cincinnati @ KU Kansas -10.5

Cincinnati +10.5

WIN

Cincinnati's six-day rest advantage and improved road form (29-point win at K-State last road trip) plus defensive pace makes this a grind-it-out game where Kansas wins but doesn't cover the inflated

ECU East Carolina @ CLT Charlotte -5.5

East Carolina +6.5

LOSS

Fading Charlotte's four-game skid and inflated home number — ECU's tempo and Riley's scoring give them live dog equity at +6.5.

RUTG Rutgers @ MINN Minnesota -7.5

Rutgers +7.5

LOSS

Rutgers' recent offensive surge and Minnesota's tendency to play rock fights makes 7.5 too many points in a game that stays close throughout

UTC Chattanooga -4.5 @ CIT The Citadel

The Citadel +4.5

LOSS

The Citadel gets 4.5 at home after already beating Chattanooga on the road two weeks ago — the revenge narrative is overpriced and the Mocs' road defense is a liability on short rest.

NHVN New Haven @ FDU Fairleigh Dickinson -2.5

Fairleigh Dickinson -2.5

LOSS

Fairleigh Dickinson's 8-5 home dominance and three-headed scoring attack should overwhelm New Haven's road-weary offense in a low-possession grinder

UTEP UTEP @ NMSU New Mexico State

UTEP +7.5

WIN

UTEP already beat New Mexico State two weeks ago and getting 7.5 in the rematch is too many points for a team that proved they can score with the Aggies

L-MD Loyola Maryland @ COLG Colgate -8.5

Over 151.5

WIN

Colgate's defensive collapse and Loyola's balanced scoring attack set up a pace-up affair that clears 155 comfortably

KC Kansas City @ NDSU North Dakota State -18.5

Kansas City +18.5

LOSS

Kansas City's shooters keep this closer than the 18.5-point spread suggests against a methodical NDSU team that doesn't blow the doors off opponents.

HARV Harvard @ COR Cornell -4

Harvard +4

WIN

Harvard's discipline and Lin's playmaking keep this within a possession as Cornell's home inconsistency against quality Ivy opponents creates value on the dog.

PENN Pennsylvania @ YALE Yale -9.5

Yale -9.5

LOSS

Yale's home dominance and Penn's 3-8 road struggles make this a comfortable double-digit cover in a revenge spot

LIU Long Island University -2.5 @ MERC Mercyhurst

Long Island University -2.5

LOSS

LIU's 13+ rebounding advantage and superior road form make them the play against a Mercyhurst team that's lost 4 of 6 and just dropped a home game to Wagner.

LEM Le Moyne -2.5 @ STO Stonehill

Under 137.5

LOSS

Stonehill's defensive blueprint from the first meeting holds; both teams grind this into a rock fight that stays well under the inflated total

URI Rhode Island -4.5 @ LAS La Salle

Rhode Island -4.5

LOSS

Rhode Island's elite shooting and road form dominates La Salle's six-game skid and offensive futility.

DUQ Duquesne @ DAY Dayton -5.5

Duquesne +6.5

LOSS

Duquesne's five-game win streak, elite ball pressure, and balanced scoring exploits Dayton's shaky recent competition and turnover-prone guards — the market's 6-point spread range shows uncertainty we

TENN Tennessee @ VAN Vanderbilt -3.5

Tennessee +3.5

WIN

Tennessee's peaking offense and superior shooting efficiency exploits Vanderbilt's recent defensive cracks — take the Vols plus the points in a tight rivalry matchup.

PSU Penn State @ NEB Nebraska -18.5

Penn State +18.5

LOSS

Nebraska's offense is broken, and Penn State keeps it ugly enough to cover in a low-scoring grind.
