1-star (635) Syracuse +14 over DUKE. 6:15pm ET. Syracuse has pulled two straight outright upsets in their last two ACC road trips. The Orange are in their largest underdog role of the season and that's a lot of points to lay vs the nation's No. 10 defense (Syracuse). Also these two routinely have played close games since Syracuse joined the ACC back in 2014 (series is tied 3-3 and 5 of the 6 decided by 8 points or less). Marvin Bagley is back for Duke but the Blue Devils are just 1-7 ATS on Saturdays this year (very public team gets pricey on marque days of the week).

Lean: (543) Wichita State -7.5 over SMU. 2:00pm ET. We have a motivated Wichita State team here that is trying to revenge a 83-78 loss (-9.5) to SMU back on January 17th. In that game, SMU shot a season-best 64% from the floor in that game. However, the Ponies are a shell of their former selves due to multiple injuries and have gone just 4-9 SU/ATS in their last 13 games. Meanwhile, Wichita State is playing their best basketball of the season, winners of 5 straight.

Lean: (593) KANSAS +2.5 over Texas Tech. 4:15pm ET. Kansas is playing with revenge from an earlier loss to Texas Tech. The Jayhawks have won 13 straight Big 12 titles (no team has ever won 14 straight conference titles) and can basically wrap the Big 12 up with a win today. Kansas head coach Bill Self is 17-0 SU in revenge games in Big 12 play. Meanwhile, Texas Tech's best player Keenan Evans is less than 100% with a toe injury.

Lean: (634) MIDDLE TENNESSEE -7.5 over Uab. 7:00pm ET. Middle Tennessee has won 9 straight games (6-3 ATS). The Blue Raiders are the far superior team here as they have the better offense (No. 78 vs No. 116), the better defense (No. 27 vs No. 122) and have played the much tougher schedule (No. 87 vs No. 235). Meanwhile UAB is just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. This is one of the biggest power ratings disparities I have on any game today (I have Middle Tennessee by 12.84).
