The Manhattan Jaspers will be getting 2.5 points tonight when they host the Niagara Purple Eagles. The Jaspers are just 2-11 on the season and winless at home, at 0-5, where they are averaging just 56.6 points per game. The Western New Yorkers are 7-6 overall and 3-3 on the road where they are averaging 69.7 points per game. The Purple Eagles have been covering on the road, going 5-1 ATS in their last 6, and they are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 trips to the Bronx. Niagara has the edge in points per game, field goal %, free throw %, rebounding, and turnovers. Niagara should cover the number, but why sweat the hook when the money line is only -135?
TONIGHT’S PICK: NIAGARA PURPLE EAGLES M/L
Friday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The #20 ranked Buffalo Bulls are off to their best start since the 1962-63 season and will be on the road tonight to face the Eastern Michigan Eagles. The Bulls are a big favorite in this one, laying 10.5, as they should be. Buffalo is 12-1, averaging 83.8 points per game and have been a covering machine, going 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 overall and 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. On the flip side, the Eagles are just 6-7 on the season, averaging 61.0 points per game, and they are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Buffalo has the edge in points per game, field goal %, free throws, defense, rebounding, turnovers and bench. Laying 10.5 on the road is a lot of chalk but if the Bulls want to cover the number they will.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO BULLS -10.5
Thursday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The Grand Canyon Antelopes will have their unbeaten home record on the line tonight when the Utah Valley Wolverines pay a visit to GCU Arena. Not only are the Antelopes 5-0 at home, they are also lighting up the scoreboard in Phoenix, averaging 83.0 points per game and allowing an average of 61.8. The Wolverines sit at 3-4 on the road, where they are averaging 68.6 points per game and allowing an average of 73.3. Grand Canyon has won the last two meetings with Utah Valley and should keep their perfect home record intact. The Antelopes are currently spotting the Wolverines 3.5 in this one but the line will probably move so consider Grand Canyon on the money line.
TONIGHT’S PICK: GRAND CANYON ANTELOPES M/L
