Delaware +6.5 (POD)

Winning 8 of 11 days, let's keep it rolling. I could very easily go with more than 1 play today, but why? Going 1-0 and gaining 3 units is the same thing - in fact, going 2-1 and gaining +2.73 units - hence, where the money management comes in. We have grown somewhere around 25 units of late, so there is no reason to go with 3 plays and, very easily lose -9.9 units. Frankly, I think the lines are a bit tight right now, so just 1 play. I like Delaware for quite a bit reasons, but mainly because there is no reason that George Mason should be favored by this much on the road as they have not proven much on the road. Delaware is a solid home team while George Mason is frankly a relatively weak road team. Mason could easily turn that around today, but I think they will find it tough. Delaware is head by a sound coaching staff. Sure, this team is 6-7, but what you might not realize is that this team has won 4 of its last 5 ballgames, why is that important? Think about it - 67% of this team's season wins comes out of the last 2 ballgames. Delaware has gone on the road to win back to back road ballgames, against William and Mary and Drexel - both teams in the top 225. Why is that significant? Well, typically teams in the top 125 do things of that caliber. This team is playing better and meshing and should be very competitive today. George Mason recently played Georgia State and lost by a bucket to a team that is ranked in the top 225 and Delaware is significantly better at top 175. Also, Delaware has revenge from last year's loss as well. George Mason is 0-6 ATS as favorites of this margin and Delaware 4-1 ATS against teams that have won 60% of their ballgames and the big D is in a good spot at home here in my opinion.

4 Unit Play. #531 Take St. Bonaventure +27 ½ over Xavier (7:00 pm) Way too many points to be laying considering this is a conference game and the Bonnies see the Musketeers on a regular basis. This is will a blowout, but only by 20 points and thus it will be a point spread victory with the underdog.

4 Unit Play. #546 Take Clemson -14 ½ over Charlotte (7:30 pm ACC Select) There is a huge talent discrepancy in this match-up between schools from bordering states. The 49ers have yet to win a true road game this year and the Tigers are mad after blowing the game against UNC on Sunday night. They will take out their frustrations on Charlotte and win this game by 20+ points. Charlotte plays very little defense and that does not bode well when playing Clemson, who is averaging over 82 points per game. Charlotte was getting blown out by Maryland before making a late charge to get back into the game, but Clemson ain’t Maryland and there will be no late charge on Wednesday, as the Tigers get it done @ Littlejohn.

5 Unit Play. #552 Take Massachusetts -4 over St. Josephs (7:30 pm) Amherst, MA is the site for this A-10 tilt between the Redhawks and the Minute Men. UMASS continues to get it done under Coach Travis Ford, playing hard noise defense and can light up the scoreboard as well. The Redhawks can not score enough points to keep up with UMASS and thus will eventually bow down in this road affair. The Minutemen gave Vanderbilt all that they could handle over the weekend and will come ready to play looking to get back on the winning track at the Mullins Center. They are 6-0 in Amherst and win No. 7 will come this evening by double digits.

4 Unit Play. #561 Take Indiana State +9 ½ over Drake (8:00 pm Mediacom) A key game in the MVC takes place tonight in Des Moines, as two 3-0 conference records are put on the line. This will be an intense match-up, as both teams play strong defense and expect the score to only be in the sixties. The Sycamores have played a brutal non-conference schedule to prepare them for conference play and Drake mainly beat up on Iowa teams and thus will not be able to blow ISU out this evening.
