Saturday Daytime Opinions/Possible Best Bets
GEORGE WASHINGTON (-13 ½) over Fordham
Rotation #530 – 10 am Pacific
George Washington has lost 11 consecutive games but is favored by double-digits - which tells you how bad Fordham is. Fordham did win a couple of games back with an upset at St. Bonaventure, but the Rams are just 21-43-2 ATS as an underdog of more than 2 points away from home under coach Dereck Whittenburg, including 9-36 ATS if they are not coming off 2 or more consecutive losses (0-3 ATS this season). Most of George Washington’s recent losses (8 of 11) have been away from home, but the Colonials are 40-19-1 ATS in their last 60 lined home games under coach Karl Hobbs, including 2-1-1 this season. My ratings favor George Washington by 15 ½ points and there is no way the Colonials are going to letdown given their long losing streak. I’ll lean with GW at -14 or less and I’d take George Washington in a 2-Star Best Bet at -12 points or less.
Miami-Florida (+14) over DUKE
Rotation #533 – 10:30 am Pacific
Duke is coming off a humiliating 47-74 loss at Clemson while Miami is coming off an impressive 79-52 upset win over highly ranked Wake Forest. Miami applies to a 181-90-3 ATS big road underdog momentum situation today while Duke’s loss sets them up in a negative 41-89-4 ATS situation. Duke is only 29-41 ATS in conference games after a conference loss over the years, so there is certainly no evidence that they’ll have an easy time bouncing back from their loss at Clemson. Miami, meanwhile, is 20-11-2 ATS as a conference dog of 2 points or more away from home, including 13-1-1 ATS against a team coming off a loss. Unfortunately, my ratings favor Duke by 15 points, so the line isn’t high enough to make this game a Best Bet. I’d take Miami-Florida in a 2-Star Best Bet at +15 points or more.

REASON FOR PICK:1* PLAY ON Florida State + vs. Clemson, Saturday at 7:00 PM EST
Clemson is coming off the win that basically put their basketball program on the map. Their 27 point beat-down of Duke was one of those games in which EVERYTHING went right for Clemson (and EVERYTHING went wrong for the Blue Devils). Duke shot just 30.8% and lost the rebounding margin by 10. We expect Clemson to have a hangover from that game and overlook a good Florida State squad coming to town.
Florida State is one of the most underrated teams in the ACC; at 17-5, they are just a few bad breaks away from having 2-3 more wins. The Seminoles lost to Duke by 8, Pittsburgh by 8, @Miami FL by 6, and on a buzzer-beating shot to North Carolina. The Seminoles boast one of the best defenses in the country. They allow 63.1 points per game on 37.8% shooting (and the fact that they play in the ACC makes it all that much more impressive). G Toney Douglas is quietly having himself an All-ACC caliber season. Douglas averages 20.2 points per game on 44% shooting.
Other than their dominating performance against Duke, Clemson has faltered in their other “big” games; falling by 10 to Wake Forest at home, and @North Carolina by 24. Looking ahead in their schedule, they have a rather “easy road,” so it would be easy for them to get caught up in the emotional victory over Duke. The Seminoles are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 road games and we expect that Florida State will continue to fly under the ACC-radar and get the ATS victory in Clemson. Go with Florida State.
