Arkansas State is 2-0 so far in Sun Belt play and 2-0 ATS in those games. They'll be looking to make an early season stance as the 'best in the west' in a wide open Sun Belt West division that will likely involve 5 of the 7 teams. South Alabama has been very dissapointing so far this season, getting kicked in the teeth by Western Kentucky in their conference opener and not covering a game since November 17 against Morehead State. They shot a putrid 30% from the field against W. Kentucky and are only shooting 38% on the road this season. That does not bode well for a team that will be playing at an arena where the home team is only giving up 35% from the field for the season.


Denver is B-A-D BAD BAD BAD. You can't give them enough points for there to be a good number. They've dropped home games to the following teams, Southern Utah(by 6), Sacramento State(by 21), and South Dakota State(by 11). Bo McCaleb for UNO has been lighting it up lately and won't be slowed down by Denver U. Denver is letting teams shoot 48% against them on the season.

Nittany- GL!......don't like road chalk in shitty conferences as it is a quick way to lose a bankroll, though, i do agree on DU. GL!....:thumbs:

[NittanyLions94]

I agree Flyers, but with how bad Denver is they would likely get points against most D-2 schools coming to town. They might not win a conference game this year.

Got burned last night by playing a road team going to an MVC arena, not again my friend. Indiana State is 4-0 at home this season and is running in to a Purdue team that has only left home to play 3 neutral court games early in the season. Indiana State won SU at home as a 7.5 point dog to Butler earlier this year. Both teams have played very good first half defense with Purdue giving up 28 PPG and Indiana State 28.4 at home. This one is definitely worth a shot.

GL Nittany...tailing you on New Orleans. Hard not to like that one.

Nittany- i agree on ISU. They have already beaten BUT at home and all you need to do is look at how they played at home last year. They will hang in this one. Heading down to play it at +6 -120.....:thumbs:

Florida International -5 -111

Bad juice but playing a team unbeaten at home that has also been battle tested. FIU has traveled to Wisconsin, George Mason, South Florida, and Miami U so far this season, and in the most recent one, covered at Wisconsin only being beat by 16 at the toughest arena to play at in the Big 10. A win here assures FIU a winning record going in to the new year for only the 3rd time in the past 10 seasons, so there is a little motivation for the Owls to come out on fire. Sophomore Alex Galindo has been playing very well lately, getting a double-double in the last 2 games, including a career high 24 and 14 last time out.

3-3 1.05 units today, I knew I should just stay away from any team that involved those 2 bad teams in Florida, but that Ark State game really surprised me. South Alabama may be turning things around after struggling in the OOC. And Denver is a fade at home all season, they don't deserve to be in D-1.
