2* Indiana State (-) over Toledo
Toledo' three wins have come against IU-Fort Wayne, Maryland-Baltimore County and D2 Rochester. Do not see any hyphens in Indiana State, and the Sycamores have by far the best defense Toledo has faced this season, and that is saying something since the Rockets are only scoring 61.7 ppg on the year. ISU has road wins (by more than this number) against teams ranked #202 and #146 in our ratings, and now takes on #301 in Toledo, so they should be up to the task. ISU has a big free throw edge (77% to 64%) and is 3-0 ATS as away chalk of this range, so lay the points here.

Rutgers vs UCF
Pick: Rutgers -3
In the bowl battle between the knights, I'll take the Jersey boys who rallied from a crushing loss to start the season to post eight wins. UCF leans heavily on RB Brynn Harvey but it will be tough to dent a Rutgers defense that’s No. 20 nationally against the run. Meanwhile, the Rutgers offense should be able to punch out enough points to cover this number - but it won't be easy.

Game: North Carolina at Texas (2:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Game Total UNDER 154.5 -110
A true early season heavyweight battle of NCAA titans takes place here with the young and talented Tar Heels squaring off against the Texas Longhorns. These games tend to always have a high total, yet often struggle to reach expectations as a chess match is usually more the instrument at work here. The Heels will certainly find the going tough vs. a Texas team that leads the country, allowing just 31.6% FG shooting. Both teams depend on the boards for extra put-backs to the offensive arsenal, but both are +12.9 off the glass - meaning fewer opportunities. This one promises points, but the true resolve here will be felt on the other end, so I like this one to go UNDER the total.

Bowl Package
OK, enough with the talk let's get on to the games. We have some Bowl action today in the very first game, which is great. Remember, this is all straight (or flat stakes) betting, there is no progression system for the bowl games.
We don't have a play on Sunday's bowl game and looking at the early part of the schedule it looks like we may be light on the front end but we'll see how that shakes out.
For now, let's get you today's pick:
Wyoming +11
