    Analysis

    Out in MAC play Miami Ohio continues to gain traction as they are now ranked 23rd in the country. With that has come increased spreads as a favorite whether home or away. They’ve failed to cover in three out of their last four games, and tonight’s opponent in Buffalo had them on the ropes in a 105 to 102 overtime loss. Tail the home team here in Buffalo.

    Analysis

    Buffalo caught the Redhawks sleeping and should’ve won the first meeting. Miami Ohio is not going to be taking the Bulls lightly tonight. Buffalo hit 13 threes in first match but the Red Hawks, coaches and players, have said they’re looking to improve their defense. Miami Ohio spaces the floor almost as good as anyone in the country and for the Bulls to win they might need to reach the century mark tonight. Buffalo’s defense is one of the worst in the country and the Redhawks should be ready tonight.

    Analysis

    This is a spot that I look for quite often. Carolina defeated the Senators less than 10 days ago, 4-1, despite getting outshot 37-19 in Ottawa. The Senators are 5-3 SU and 6-2 ATS when playing with zero days' rest this season. One of the losses was when they played in Utah and Colorado back-to-back. Ottawa is one of the few teams that can match Carolina’s defensive tenacity. The Hurricanes are coming off two OT games, and they are just 21-34 ATS this season. Carolina is undoubtedly a strong team, but their impressive record has been aided by facing the league's 11th easiest schedule.

    PTS + AST + REB
    Picked: Feb 3 @ 9:59am

    Analysis

    Caesar’s. This is a brutal matchup for Jalen Duren, The first-time All Star will go toe-to-toe with Nikola Jokic, who is built back up to 30 minutes post-injury, and seems poised to take on his normal workload. Jokic (and Jonas Valanciunas) will camp out in the paint defensively and make life difficult for Duren around the basket and on the glass. Plus, Jokic is fourth in the NBA in fouls drawn per game (6.6) and Duren is in the 5th percentile of all players in fouls per game. A lot would have to go right (no foul trouble, cooperative gamescript, strong performance in a below average matchup) for Duren to clear this line. I’d bet this down to under 28.5.

    Spread
    Picked: Feb 3 @ 12:02pm

    Analysis

    We're suddenly to the point of the season when Selection Sunday looms. Phil Martelli Jr's first VCU side is one of those riding the bubble into February and definitely in at-large territory. They likely need a fast finish to fall on the safe side of the Big Dance cut-line. Wins in the last five have bolstered hopes, but this is a tricky trip where Mike Magpayo's first Fordham edition has proved very scrappy. The Rams have only lost touch vs. high-flying Saint Louis in A-10 action. Back-to-back wins over La Salle and GW suggest the Rams could play spoiler in February, as Iona transfer G Dejour Reaves (17.4 ppg) has emerged as one of the loop's best perimeter weapons. Play Fordham.
