Texas A&M -2.5 at Iowa State: Cyclones have played like zombies recently, losing like eight in a row and 12 of 13. Aggies are everything ISU isn't -- tough-minded, physical, ready and built to win on the road. At some point I suppose the Cyclones have to show up and play well, but I still like this play.

Mississippi State -6.5 at LSU: I'm a little worried about a hangover from the devastating Kentucky loss, but the Bulldogs will literally be playing for their tournament lives beginning tomorrow. The Tigers aren't just awful -- they're brutal. I see a 10-12 point MSU win and easy cover.

Thoughts?
