1H Creighton -5.0 (-105)
Risk 3.15 to win 3.00
Creighton vs DePaul
Remember when Creighton was a sneaky mid-major out of the Missouri Valley Conference that you would really hope could shoot hot in the tournament and steal a game for that extra point for your bracket? Now they still shoot the lights out, but have the best home record in the Big East. Creighton is covering 1stHalf spreads at home with nearly double digit 1stHalf home margins, so Spike on the Bluejays’ transformation into a March madness factor.
1H Houston -0.5 (-110)
Risk 3.30 to win 3.00
Houston @ SMU
This one looks seems like it could be tight on paper. But that’s why games aren’t played on paper…..they’re played in deep neural networks…..and inSIDE of TV sets. As good as a 13-1 home record of their own looks, SMU is not backing that up with consistent 1stHalf play. In the last 3 weeks they have even trailed the likes of Tulane and Temple, and against a little more height they got smashed at home vs Georgetown. Houston brings it all today with a scoring prowess that lands them an average road winning margin of 6.0 points to supplement being the 16th best 1stHalf defense in terms of points allowed. Don’t google search “Saddle up a cougar and ride” at work…..just Spike on the top of the AAC for this inter-state rivalry.
1H Lafayette -3.5 (-110)
Risk 2.20 to win 2.00
Lafayette @ Holy Cross
This one is a pure numbers play with Lafayette over 150 Spiking Power Indices (SPI) over the Holiest of Holys. Speaking of holes, the Crusaders 1stHalf defense tend to put Holy Cross deep in the hole after 20 minutes, as they have plenty of 11-point deficits to add to several way worse efforts, including a 40-point game 1stHalf loss to Northeastern. Spike on this road favorite that averages away 1stHalf winning margins, while Holy Cross has lost 11-of-last-12.
