1-star (610) UTAH -2.5 over Ucla. 9:00pm ET. Utah comes in with 4 straight wins and their only non-cover in those 4 games was by a 0.5-point at Washington State. The Utes have been a tough out at home this year in the elevation as they are 11-2 SU and have won 4 straight Pac-12 home games. Utah has also covered 4 straight times when hosting sea-level UCLA. While the Bruins are 14-2 at home this year (including a 84-64 win vs Utah on January 11th), the Bruins are just 2-5 SU on the Pac-12 road. Utah has the much better defense (No. 65 vs No. 110) and have played the slightly tougher schedule (No. 60 vs No. 71). This was my 3-star game of week, but Utah has a couple of players banged up (both Johnson/Barefield are questionable/probable). Still, I like the value on Utah here as I have this game power-rated at 3.5.
Lean: (632) OREGON -3.5 over Arizona St. 11:30pm ET. Oregon is 4-0 SU vs Arizona State the last 3 years including a 76-72 win at Arizona State back on January 11th. We're catching some value because the Ducks come in off back-to-back losses on the road while Arizona State played 3 straight home games. The Sun Devils are just 3-9-1 ATS since the start of 2018.
Lean: (578) MARSHALL +3 over Old Dominion. 7:00pm ET. Marshall is 14-1 SU at home this year. We're catching value because Old Dominion just won their last two games by a combined 182-95.
