Stanford at Northwestern Over/under 133
Although the Wildcats have scored at least 80 points in their last two games, it has been against lesser opponents. Stanford surrenders about 64 points per games, and does not have a lot of firepower offensively outside of point forward Landry Fields.
Against opponents similar to Stanford, the Wildcats have kept the games in the 60s and 50s, and the same goes for the Cardinal.
Take the under for 4 Units.
Gonzaga (+8.5) vs. Duke
The Zags have been one of the surprises of the early season, and the Blue Devils have done little to impress, beside a win over Uconn.
The Bulldogs have enough talent and shooting to keep pace with Duke, even if they are feeling it from long range.
Look for the Zags to keep this one close. Take Gonzaga for 3 Units.
Florida (-7) vs. Richmond
The Gators are coming off a loss against Syracuse and have had nine days to prepare for this one, while the Spiders are playing their third straight road game and coming off two losses.
Florida should be able to win this one by double digits even though Richmond is one of the dark horses to win the Atlantic 10. Three games in a week will catch up with the Spiders against a well-rested Florida team. Take the Gators for 4 Units.
Wichita State (-5) vs. Texas Tech
The Red Raiders have been sneaking up on teams so far this year to an undefeated record. But, in looking at their record, the only noteworthy teams they’ve beaten are Pac 10 teams. The Shockers haven’t defeated anyone of note either, but they are at home and this win would help their resume for March.
Rarely is a ranked team a five-point dog against an unranked team, but it looks like Vegas expects Tech to come crashing down in this one. Take the Shockers for my third stone-cold, lead-pipe, Jimmer-third-game-bowling-under lock for 5 Units.
