Florida vs Providence (FLA -5, 132) 7 PM
The Friars have failed to cover in 6 straight and in 8 of their last 9 overall. They have 4 straight up losses as favorites of 8 points or more. While the Gators have overall been disappointing this season, they have played much tougher competition and should out talent a struggle Providence team.
Bet: FLA -5
Confidence: 3 Units
Result: Florida 83 Providence 51
Oklahoma @ Creighton (CRE -3, 153) 8:30 PM
The Sooners are playing in their third straight road game. In the previous two, they needed a 2nd half comeback to erase a 10 point deficit to North Texas and lost by 5 to Wichita State after blowing an 8 point 2nd half lead. The Bluejays are 7-0 at home and have a margin of victory of 17.6 ppg. I think home court advantage is huge here and Creighton comes away with the W.
Bet: CRE -3
Confidence: 2 Units
Result: Oklahoma 73 Creighton 83
Purdue @ Ohio (PUR -8, 127) 9 PM
Ohio has won 4 in a row. However, against power 5 opponents, they are 0-3 with losses to Villanove by 24, Baylor by 23 and Utah by 14. Purdue’s coming off a tough home loss to the Cornhuskers which I think refocuses them. Their previous loss to the Seminoles was followed up by a 29 point victory against 5th ranked Virginia, so an 8 point spread against a MAC team shouldn’t be an issue.
Bet: PUR -8
Confidence: 3 Units
Result: Purdue 69 Ohio 51
Today’s Record: 3-0
All-Time Record: 27-17 (61.4%)
