Liberty vs. Florida Atlantic

By John Feltman

Ritchie McKay’s Flames are off to a terrific 6-0 start on the season, backed by their explosive offense. Their upcoming game against the surging Florida Atlantic Owls should be an offensive showcase, with plenty of value for the Flames in this spot.

The Flames’ offense has been exceptional so far, showcasing an ability to compete with any team nationwide. Their top-ranked FG% and 3PT% make them a strong contender against a shaky Owls perimeter defense.

Despite a soft schedule, the Flames have also excelled defensively, with a strong perimeter defense. With a significant edge in this game, the Flames are set to make a statement. Our pick: Liberty +7.5 (Play to +5.5).

Samford vs. Louisiana

By Doug Ziefel

These evenly matched teams are in for an exciting game. Although Samford has a slight edge, the Ragin’ Cajuns are valuable underdogs in this matchup, especially given their strengths and the Bulldogs’ playstyle.

The Ragin’ Cajuns are strong in several aspects and have the potential to pull off an upset. Our pick: Louisiana +3 (Play to +2).

Creighton vs. Oklahoma State

By Tanner McGrath

This is a clear bounce-back opportunity for Creighton following their recent loss. Facing an unimpressive Oklahoma State squad, we anticipate a strong performance from Creighton and a lopsided win. Our pick: Creighton -7.5 (Play to -9.5).

Hawaii vs. Utah

By D.J. James

A fast-paced match awaits as Hawaii takes on Utah. Despite the tempo, both teams boast strong defensive prowess, setting the stage for a competitive game. Anticipating a low-scoring affair, our pick is Under 145 (Play to 144).
