Pick: Creighton -1.5
The Creighton Bluejays are one of the most underrated teams in the entire country. They should be a much heavier favorite Saturday against St. Joseph’s. I expect them to roll on the road this afternoon. Creighton is 7-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in lined games this season. They are outscoring their opponents by a whopping 19.1 points/game this year. The Bluejays are 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS on the road, winning by an average of 11.7 points/game. The Bluejays have three starters back from last season, led by the coach’s son in Doug McDermott. The forward is lighting up the nets for 23.7 points and 9.0 rebounds per game while connecting on 62.6 percent of his shots, 57.7 percent from 3-point range, and 81.0 percent from the free throw line. Creighton is 24-8 ATS in their last 32 games overall. As you can see, they have been a money-making machine over the last two seasons. The Bluejays are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games as a favorite. St. Joseph’s is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a home underdog. Bet Creighton Saturday. -Jack Jones
Pick: UNLV vs. Wisconsin Under 126
Instead of worrying about which team will cover the spread in this game, I will take the under 126 on the total. The over may seem like a strong play with UNLV coming in averaging 83.0 ppg, but the Badgers are as good as any team in slowing down the game and grinding out a win, especially at home. Wisconsin is allowing just 39.8 ppg at home this season, holding opposing teams to just 29.6% shooting. Wisconsin has had just one game all season go over the posted total in this game. That was a 73-56 blowout win over BYU, which still only went over this posted total by 3-points. Wisconsin and North Carolina managed to score just 117 points in an earlier matchup. The UNDER is 11-3 in Runnin’ Rebels last 14 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game, 6-1 in Badgers last 7 non-conference games, and 4-1 in Badgers last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.BET THE UNDER 126! -Steve Janus
