Maryland at Indiana 7:00 ET

Hoosiers (-) over Terrapins- The Indiana brand has taken a hit in recent seasons as they are looking to regain their national stature and have started 5-1. Hoosiers 7’0” center Kel’el Ware has been impressive with his all-around game leading his club in points, rebounds, blocks and steals. Maryland at 4-3 is off to a shaky start but have a star of their own in Julian Reese who had 22 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks last time out and looks to counter the Hoosiers big man. Indiana coach Mike Woodson admits that there are times Ware doesn’t put out his best effort. We can’t have that...take MARYLAND!

St. John’s at West Virginia 7:00 ET

Red Storming (-) over Mountaineers- There are plenty of reasons to bet a Rick Pitino team and now that he is back in the Big-time people are perking up an taking notice.

The former Redmen are 4-2 and have won three straight while West Virginia who has more coaching issues than player problems is talking about learning and growing. Well, to you Josh Eilert the Mountaineers interim coach Rick Pitino will school you here. Take ST. JOHN’S!

Philadelphia at Boston 7:30 ET

76ers (+) over Celtics- The only issue that I have with this contest is the condition of MVP Joel Embiid. Embiid is having an even more impressive season that last year’s run and he is looking to capture his first NBA Championship. The 76ers are 0-2 with him in the line-up and he rested Wednesday. This is the rhird meeting of the year between these two and they have split with both game being played in Philadelphia. Boston is a perfect 8-0 at home going a more than respectable 6-2 ATS while the Sixers are 5-3 on the road a much improved record away from home than in recent seasons. Celtics will be without center Kristaps Porizingis and Joel will take advanatge of his absence. Take PHILADELPHIA!

Pac-12 Championship Las Vegas, NV

Oregon vs. Washington 8:00 ET

Ducks (-) over Huskies- Seriously, this is the match-up of the NCAAF season with all due respect to the ‘Bama & Bulldog crowd but, I have been keen on both these squads all year and either one could win the National Championship. The QB’s for both Washington and Oregon could possible win the Heisman with Friday night winner with a good performance would probably emerge the favorite right now Vegas has Ducks quarterback Bo Nix a slight favorite over the Huskies Michael Penix. This line is an attention grabber as these two played to a 36-33 decision in mid October with UW getting the win and Oregon getting the money at +3.5. Could be the line is a reflection of the Ducks scoring 45.3 PPG (2nd) and they allow just 15.9 (7th), since their loss they have won six straight by 29.3 PPG. Nix has 37 TD passes and just two int’s (go back and read that again), Penix has 32 TD passes and eight ints and Nix has a 189.8 passer efficiency rating second only to LSU’s Jayden Daniels (he is unbelievable). My personal issue with taking Oregon who I like in the re-match is that I have so much company with them as so many see the revenge factor as a motivation but in send game revenge in Championship games they have split virtually even 51-50 and it doesn’t matter which. I am hoping that the high point spread attracts many players it would me but the ‘sharps’ are who drove this line to where it is now...way too high. Washington is frickin’ good. I’ve watched them all season and their offensive line is awesome and what I’ve seen of Oregon is that Bo Nix is in command and his previous experience at Auburn and last season in Pullman has matured him into a great college quarterback and dare I say he reminds me of Brady. I wonder a bit if I lean toward Nix for all the abuse I hurled at him when playing for Auburn when he just didn’t have the team support, coaching and the maturity needed. But, I am still liking...OREGON!

Purdue at Northwestern 9:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Boilermakers- Can the do it again? Does lighting strike twice do the Wildcats have the Boilermakers number...we shall kind out Friday night in Evanston. Last season No. 1 Purdue was upended by the Wildcats 64-58 knocking Purdue off the Top ranking. The ‘Iron workers’ are undefeated and once are ranked No.1 and are 7-0 already with wins over three ranked teams #11 Gonzaga, #7 Tennessee and #4 Marquette. Northwestern has only one loss and is determined to have their basketball program recognized that they are the rise. This is Purdue first true road game and it being a conference game adds intensity from the Wildcats who are 4-0 at home. Take NORTHWESTERN!

Connecticut at Kansas 9:00 ET

Huskies (+) over Jayhawks- Ya know this Connecticut team may be right...here they are National Champions who dominated the entire NCCAM basketball scene the second half of the year and had one of the most impressive tournament performances in NCAA history. Still hey have not lost a game and are 7-0 yet they are ranked no higher than No. 4. Kansas who is No. 5 is 6-1 with their loss coming at the hands of Marquette in the Maui Invitational. The Huskies who find themselves the underdog have been favored by 32, 36, 45, 39 and 26 points this season and now get to bite as the dogs they are...Huskies! Take CONNECTICUT!
