    Rolling with Buffalo & UTEP

    Buffalo +4
    Buffalo wins this game. Ohio struggles on the road and is not a team that can put away opponents on the road. The biggest margin of victory for Ohio on the road has been 6 points twice this season (defeated Maryland 61-55 and defeated Bucknell 53-47). Buffalo has lost 5straight and 7 of 8. In their last meeting last season, Buffalo defated Ohio 84-65 to snap a 4 game losing streak.
    sdsu +10
    SDSU defeated BYU 68-74 in their last matchup. The reason BYU is a 10 point favorite in this game is how BYU has beaten teams at home this season (defeated Colorado St 92-73, defeated LMU 91-62, defeated Southern UTah 70-55, defeated Pepperdine 86-67, defeated Lamar 88-66 and defeated Weber St 72-57 in BYU's last 5 home games). SDSU is a better team than all these teams that BYU has defeated at home. The spread is somewhat inflated. This is going to be a close game and SDSU may even pull it out. SDSU has only one double digit loss and that came against Arizona (losing 74-58).

    Purdue -2 for 2 Units
    Boilermakers are on their way to a possible NCAA tournament bid. They need to keep up their strong play. One the road against a what was on the rise PSU team (until they lost their leading scorer/rebounder Geary Claxton), I see the boilermakers winning by double digets. Penn State had a chance with the game tied against Indiana with 12 minutes left in the 2nd half and blew it and lost by around 20. Penn State does not have the size or ability to beat many quality teams without Geary Claxton......this game is locked

    Florida Gators -1 for a unit and a half. Gators are clicking and I plan to ride the wave on spreads like these against lesser SEC opponents.


    Disclosure: I am a Florida Alum. but I see the gamecocks being easy gator bait.
