2016 YTD: 7-6
11/16/16: 1-1 (that Marshall over not hitting was highway robbery....86 points in the first half & you can't get to 163????)

Oklahoma/Tulane OVER 152.5: Here's hoping the scoreboard operator stays busy (they usually do during OU games) as the Sooners & Green Wave meet in the Tire Pros Invitational in Florida tonite....although it's an extremely small sample size they are both running Top 150 (out of 350) paced offenses and it seems the new-look Sooners have found some scorers early on in Kadeem Lattin & Jordan Woodard to try to replace the production of Buddy Hield & the rest of their outgoing class....Tulane is picking up tempo a bit from last year with new coach Mike Dunleavy and I believe if we can 70+ from his squad tonite we should be good as the Sooners should have no problem getting to 90

Marquette -1 vs. Michigan: Marquette has quietly put together a really nice roster composed of some holdovers from last season, a couple of talented freshmen, & a journeyman transfer (Katin Reinhardt) who is now at his third school....meanwhile Michigan while still among the top 5 in the Big Ten, has a nice starting lineup with very little depth....the Golden Eagles have looked pretty dominant early on while Michigan has looked underwhelming against lesser schools....at a neutral site I'll take the slightly more talented roster who's had a little better start to their season....gimme the Eagles by close to double digits

Georgia -14 vs. Furman: The Paladins return 4 of 5 starters and should be in the hunt near the top of the SoCon later in the year....but their first 2 games have been very Jeckyl & Hyde so far - a loss to Presbyterian and an upset win at UAB....tonite I feel it's too tall of a task to get within 20 of an upper half SEC squad on the road....the Bulldogs haven't been dominant yet either but I feel they have the deeper roster & personnel....love the inside-outside combo of Maten & JJ Frazier for the Dawgs and Furman won't have an answer for those two....Georgia by 20+

2016 YTD: 8-8
11/17/16: 1-2 (total misread on that Marquette game....Georgia was within reach)

NC State/Montana UNDER 150.5: The Grizzlies run one of the 30 slowest offenses in Division I and don't have many goto scorers....the Wolfpack are average tempo & although they can put up points they also have a decent defense led by shot blocker Abdul-Malik Abu....I see a 75-65 type game here which puts us under this total

Jacksonville St. +20 at TCU: Jamie Dixon was a great hire for TCU & from a recruiting aspect the Frogs are headed in the right direction....but from a talent on the floor angle I don't think they're quite there yet and will struggle near the bottom of the Big 12 this year....tonite they host a Jacksonville St. squad who upset Tulsa on the road to open the season & gave Western Kentucky a scare as well in a game that was tied at half....lots of cushion here as I feel TCU wins but not as easily as this spread indicates....gimme TCU by 8-12 points

Texas A&M -6.5 vs. USC: Both of these schools lost a LOT from last season so a matchup like tonite's comes down to a couple things for me....I like the depth of A&M led by their pair of big men Tyler Davis & DJ Hogg....meanwhile USC has only played 8 guys this year in 2 games so far and one of their stars Bennie Boatwright has not seen action as of yet & is a game time decision tonite....in this one I see the home team with a deeper roster grinding out a double digit win

St. John's/Minnesota O150: No long fancy writeup on this one....2 teams who have both put up 77 points or more in their games thus far....St. Johns is also a Top 30 tempo offense while Minnesota ranks in the 120's (out of 350) so both get up & down the floor
