NCAAB Auburn vs. Florida
Take Florida Gators
1 Unit on Florida -14 The Gators are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. the SEC. They are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win, 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite, and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. The Tigers are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, 2-5-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings in this series, and 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Florida. This young Gators team has shown that it is for real. Lay the points.
NCAAB Washington State vs. California - Los Angeles
Take Washington State Cougars
1* on Washington State +6 Washington State is a perfect 14-0 on the season this year. If they haven’t proved they are for real just yet, you will be swayed when they go into UCLA and knock off the Bruins in this Pac-10 conference surefire. Washington State is 2-0 ATS in their last 2 meetings in UCLA, losing both contests by 3 and 2 points respectively. This is the year the Cougars get over the top. Washington State is giving up just 50 points a game this year. Washington State is 6-0 ATS in all six of their road lined games this season. Washington State is 8-1 ATS after allowing 60 points or less 3 straight games over the last 2 seasons. Take Washington State and the points.
NCAAB Georgia Tech vs. Miami - FL
Take Miami - FL Hurricanes
1 Unit on Miami Hurricanes -6 The Miami Hurricanes are getting little attention in the nation despite their 13-1 record to start the year. Georgia Tech doesn’t have a chance on the road as they travel to Miami Saturday. Tech is just 7-7 in all games this season and 1-3 in their last 4 road games. Their only win during this span came against in-state rival Georgia State, a team is nowhere near .500 on the season. Miami is 8-0 at home this year, outscoring their foes by an average of 24 points per game. Miami is 7-0 ATS in all lined games this year. Georgia Tech is 2-9 ATS in road games after a game where they failed to cover the spread over the last 2 seasons. Georgia Tech will drop another road game by double-digits Saturday after losing to in-state rival Georgia in their last game out. Cash in with Miami as the favorite.
NCAAB Nevada - Las Vegas vs. Air Force
Take Air Force Falcons
3* on Air Force +6 Air Force should not be the underdog in Saturday’s meeting with the UNLV Rebels. With only 1 returning starter this season, UNLV is just not the same team they were when they made a nice NCAA Tournament run last season. UNLV is extremely vulnerable and we expect Air Force to win this game outright Saturday. Air Force is 7-1 in eight home games this season. Air Force is 10-1 ATS in home games when playing only their 2nd game in 8 days over the last 3 seasons. Air Force is 11-2 ATS after two straight losses by 10 or more points. Air Force will bounce back at home Saturday after playing two tough road games at Wake Forest and at Utah. Bet Air Force at home.
NCAAB Portland vs. Pepperdine
Take Pepperdine Waves
1 Unit on Pepperdine -5.5 We’ll make this play against Portland as it is just 1-7 in the visitor role this season. The Pilots are a pathetic 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog of 0-6.5. The are just 7-21 ATS in their last 28 Saturday games. The Waves are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Pepperdine has a solid little fan base to really rally around this team in home games. The Waves will run the Pilots off the court. Plain and simple, the home team has it. Bet the Favorite.
