1-star (566) WASHINGTON +2.5 over Arizona St. 11:00pm ET. After their hot 12-0 SU/9-2-1 ATS start to the season which included a win at Kansas, the Sun Devils have become one of the most OVERRATED teams in college basketball going just 4-5 SU/1-6-2 ATS in their last 9 games. Meanwhile, Washington is flying under the radar at 15-6 SU this season and have the defensive edge here (No. 78 vs No. 123).
Lean: (530) FLORIDA ATLANTIC +3.5 over Louisiana Tech. 7:00pm ET. Defensive home underdogs are a staple for us and FAU has the better defense (No. 99 vs No. 164). We catch value because the Owls are off 3 straight ATS losses but prior were on a 3-1 SU/4-0 ATS run. Meanwhile La Tech comes in off 3 straight home games and have won and covered 2 straight but that's coming on the heels off a 0-6 ATS stretch.
Lean: (534) NORTHEASTERN -3.5 over College of Charleston. 7:00pm ET. Northeastern has the better offense (No. 122 vs No. 149), better defense (No. 112 vs Np 143) and have played the much stronger schedule (No. 140 vs No. 301). Northeastern returns home after playing 5 of their last 6 games away and are 8-1 SU at home this year. They are playing with revenge from a 82-66 loss at Charleston back on January 11th. Meanwhile Charleston's home/away splits are disparate (11-0 at home, just 5-6 away).
Lean: (539) Middle Tennessee +3 over OLD DOMINION. 8:00pm ET. Middle Tennessee has the better defense (No. 14 vs No. 51) and have played the much tougher schedule (No. 46 vs No. 242). The Blue Raiders will take exception to being an underdog here just like they did vs UAB and Western Kentucky earlier this year in CUSA play (won both outright). Middle Tennessee is also 7-0 SU/ATS in this series.
