Season Record: 8-6-1
Bradley @ San Diego State (-11 1/2) 6:00 pm EST
Two teams who have started out the season on the right foot, with Bradley 7-1 and SDSU 6-2. Difference in this game is SDSU’s ability to score. Averaging more than 14 more points a game than Bradley, along with being at home, bettors should see a large SDSU win tonight.
Pick: San Diego State (-11 1/2)
Bradley 60 San Diego State 84
Maryland (-2 1/2) @ Illinois 8:00 pm EST
Both teams are on 2 game slides, with Maryland’s losses coming from Purdue and at Syracuse and Illinois’ losses at Northwestern in OT and at Wake Forest. I like Maryland in this game because of their ability to defend. Going on the road is always a challenge, especially in the Big Ten, but if Maryland can slow down Illinois’ offense, they should be able to generate enough offense for a convincing win on the road.
Pick: Maryland (-2 1/2)
Maryland 79 Illinois 68
Detroit @ UCLA (-21) 9:00 pm EST
Offense, offense, and more offense. Detroit has been giving up just north of 90 POINTS A GAME. Traffic cones have been proven to play better defense. UCLA is primed to drop a 100 spot on the titans. UCLA big.
Pick: UCLA (-21)
Detroit 68 UCLA 100
