The Buffalo Bulls will be a huge underdog tonight when they head to Athens, Georgia to face the Georgia Bulldogs. The 9-1 Bulldogs will be laying a lot of chalk tonight, 28 points, but the Bulls should get under the number. Buffalo is not a bad team and is better than the number reflects. The Bulls are 5-5 thus far, already surpassing last year’s win total and are averaging 76.1 points per game. They are also 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games as a dog.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO BULLS +28

The Boston University Terriers will make the short 30-mile trip to North Andover, MA tonight for a matchup with the Merrimack Warriors. The Terriers have won 2 straight, are 5-5 on the season, and sit in the third spot in the Patriot League. The Warriors are riding a 3-game winning streak, are 4-6 on the season, and are third in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Boston U is currently getting 6 and should at least get under the number. The Terriers are averaging 71.0 points per game as opposed to the Warriors 62.6 and also have the edge in 3-pointers, rebounds, and blocks. Mass pride will be on the line in this one, so it should be a battle.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON UNIVERSITY TERRIERS +6

The Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons will be a road favorite when they visit the Detroit Mercy Titans today in an early one in the Motor City. The Mastodons have never had a problem scoring and this year is no different. They are averaging 82.5 points per game and the Titans porous defense will not be up for the challenge.
TODAY’S PICK: PURDUE FORT WAYNE MASTODONS -7½

The High Point Panthers and the Arkansas State Red Wolves will meet in the CBI Tournament tonight on a neutral court in Daytona Beach, Florida. The Panthers are a scoring machine and they showed it again last night when they crushed Cleveland State, 93-74. High Point is averaging 84.5 points per game and outscoring their opponents by an average of 10.3 points. I don’t think Arkansas State has a chance in this one. The Panthers score a lot more per game than the Red Wolves, give up less, and also have the edge in free throws and rebounds. Depending on where you do your shopping, the line has been floating around High Point -2.5 with a money line of -140.
TONIGHT’S PICK: HIGH POINT PANTHERS M/L

The USF Bulls will be on their home court tonight when they host the VCU Rams in the NIT Tournament in Tampa. The Bulls have been on a roll, going 8-2 over their last 10 and averaging 78.2 points per game. On the flip side, the Rams are 6-4 over their last 10, averaging 71.1 points per game. As the home team, USF is an impressive 15-2. You know for certain Yuengling Arena will be packed to the rafters with Bulls supporters and USF will not let them down. Currently the line is Bulls -3.5 with a money line of only -165 so it makes no sense to sweat the points.
TONIGHT’S PICK: UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA BULLS M/L

The #12 seed James Madison Dukes and the #5 seed Wisconsin Badgers will square off tonight in a late one at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Going into the tournament, there was no one hotter than James Madison. The Dukes are riding a 13-game win streak, finishing the regular season with 31 wins, and I don’t care what conference you play in, that’s impressive. They also finished the season by ripping Arkansas State to shreds, 91-71. On the other hand, the Badgers fell to Illinois, 93-87, in their last outing and will have their tail between their legs entering tonight’s game. The Dukes are the real deal and are currently getting 5.5. Consider them.
TONIGHT’S PICK: JAMES MADISON DUKES +5½

The Nevada Wolf Pack and the Dayton Flyers will square off in the NCAA tournament today in Salt Lake City. Being in Salt Lake favors the Wolf Pack since Reno is a lot closer to Utah than Dayton so you know the arena will be filled with Pack fans. Nevada was also hot down the stretch, winning 8 of their last their 10. The Wolf Pack has the edge in points scored per game, 3-pointers, free throws, rebounds, steals, and blocked shots. The line is currently Nevada -1.5 with a money line of only -120.
TODAY’S PICK: NEVADA WOLF PACK M/L
