Idaho vs Northern Illinois

Bonus Play Idaho Vandals

The Vandals hit the road after an opening win against a school called Corban. The Vandals have a very good backcourt led by Victor Sanders and Perrion Callandret. They are 20-12 ATS the last three years as an underdog and 19-9 ATS against teams with a winning record. Northern Illinois has two wins over Roosevelt and Indiana State whom they edged by two points to open up the season. The Huskies have dominated this series as of late winning the last two games, but I like the road team to keep things close. It's the start of a road trip so I'm not worried too much about them being tired.

UC Riverside vs UNLV

Bonus Play UC Riverside

I'm recommending a play on UC-Riverside, plus the points my on Wednesday. We played against UNLV on Friday and cashed easily when South Alabama beat the Rebels outright as a 6 to 8 point underdog. We mentioned the program lost its top seven scorers from last year's roster. New coach Marvin Menzies himself, wasn't one of the program's top three choices to take over the coaching reigns. But when Chris Beard left for Texas Tech just one week after accepting the coaching job in Las Vegas, the Rebels' administration was left scrambling. How inexperienced are these Rebels? Well, last December, UNLV beat UCR 73-62. Only two players who saw time for UNLV in that meeting are still on the roster. Gone are 69 of the 73 points scored in that game, including 29 of 35 rebounds, and 10 of 11 assists. One of those two players, Dwayne Morgan, may not play in this game due to injury. UNLV had a horrible shooting night against South Alabama in their opener. But they did have a big advantage at the FT line, making 24 of 34 FTs, compared to 4 of 9 by USA, yet still lost the game. And while the Jags finished with 19 assists and 9 turnovers, UNLV committed 16 turnovers with just 12 assists. UCR is off to a 1-1 start, but they're taking care of the "rock," cleaning the glass, and will now look to drive the paint, a bit of a change from last year's perimeter-happy approach. UCR enters on a 5-1-1 ATS run off a SU win, while the Rebels have dropped six straight ATS. I'm grabbing the points with UC-Riverside. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
