2-star (502) NORTH CAROLINA ST -5 over Boston College. 7:00pm ET. I have this game power-rated at NC State by 8.42. When you're dealing with a line of 5 points (4-4.5 points are usually given to home court advantage), these two teams should be pretty even right? Well, NC State has the better offense (No. 29 vs No. 62), the better defense (No. 99 vs No. 126) and have played the tougher schedule (No. 46 vs No. 60). After back-to-back wins on the road, NC State is looking to cement their status as an NCAA at-large team (current projections have them as a No. 10 or No. 11 seed) and can do so with an impressive win tonight against a depth-shy Boston College team that has been struggling on defense.

Lean: (532) MISSOURI -7.5 over Mississippi. 9:00pm ET. We cashed our top play of the weekend fading this train wreck of a Ole Miss program as the Rebels are now 0-7 SU/ATS in their last 7 games. Head coach Andy Kennedy changed his mind after Saturday's blowout loss and has resigned effective immediately. He will not finish the season as the Rebels will be with an interim coach here. Meanwhile, Missouri is off a disappointing 1-point loss at LSU over the weekend. Prior to that Missouri had won 5 straight games and the Tigers have the far superior defense (No. 37 vs No. 182) here.

I also considered (536) LSU -4.5 over Vanderbilt tonight but my power ratings weren't too strong (LSU by 4.3). However it is a good spot to fade a Vanderbilt team that is 0-11 SU on the road and as the Commodores are coming off back-to-back thrilling wins at home.
