305 Cleveland at Kansas City When the Browns had a 28-0 lead, sports books started putting up the lookahead line. It was KC -7 ½. After the Steelers had their big comeback against a prevent defense the line is now 10. This number is partially set for 7 point teaser protection. The number three is the biggest key number in the NFL. At -9 ½ Chiefs backers would be loading up to get this line under a field goal. The Browns have an explosive running attack, which is the weakness of this Kansas City defense. Cleveland should be able to keep this close by matching Kansas City on the scoreboard. We expect this to be the highpoint for this number. If you like the underdog grab it now. PLAY CLEVELAND |

307026 Longwood at Winthrop This game all comes down to tempo. The Lancers are a slow paced team that struggles to defend at the rim. Withrop on the other hand has superior athletes and leads the nation in adjusted tempo. The host will be able to dictate the pace, and the visitor has been terrible in transition defense. Lay it!

745 Northern Colorado at Idaho Backing the Bears here off three straight losses including an overtime affair last time out vs Montana State. At 2-4 in conference it’s time to get right for Steve Smiley’s bunch, against a very bad Idaho squad. The Vandals rank 319th in offensive adjusted efficiency, and 331st in defensive adjusted efficiency. If Idaho falls behind big it will be tough to battle back as they don’t shoot many threes, and Northern Colorado is 59th in the country defending from distance. PLAY NORTHERN COLORADO |

718 Stanford at Utah The Cardinal have reeled off 7 of 8 wins as of late, but were only 1-1 against top 100 opposition. The victory by just three points at home against Arizona. This team ranks 286th in the nation in 3 point percentage. The past five games Stanford has gone 18 of 77 23% from long range. That tells us that if the Cardinal fall behind here it will be very difficult to come back. Utah is just 4-5 on the season but are a much better team than the record suggests. According to the Bart Torvic site, the Utes should have won six of those contests. Off four straight losses this is a must win for the host. We’ve been looking to back the underrated Utes and the time is right. PLAY UTAH |

71 Anaheim at Las Vegas The Ducks don’t have a great deal of offense, but their youth is very exciting. This is a team that will get better as the year goes on, and will always play full out. Vegas is expected to contend out west, but we do have some worries early on with our home town team. This was by far the strongest home arena in the NHL in the past. The lack of fans along with the league’s Covid rules will lessen that advantage more than any other team. Vegas is always a destination for visiting teams, but these players won’t be going out partying like in the past. The Golden Knights also will be without two major pieces of the puzzle this season because of cap issues. While Petrangelo is a great signing, not sure this team is better without Schmitty and Patches. PLAY ANAHEIM +1 1/2 |
