The Dons are a Top 40 program. They hung tough at home before the Zags did their thing. Gonzaga with a more 'hated' rival on deck in St Mary's. I just think getting nearly 20, we are getting an inflated home fave and added bonus of SF losing 2 straight and this being a 3rd straight road game. This is their season. 4* Money Maker SAN FRANCISCO

Taking DAYTON. I know this is a big number when we look at the fact that St Joe's has been on a 12-1 ATS run in this series. But even with that trend, how do you trust a team shooting 40% from the field vs a team shooting 50%. Joe's 1-6 on the road, 2-5 in conference. In off 8pt loss at Penn. Lost at STL by 11, lost at Duquesne by 1, lost at St Bonnie by 26. I've seen other power numbers that have this at 13. I have it at 11. It's a value play at a bare minimum. 4* Money Maker DAYTON

Taking KANSAS. So doing a Sunday podcast with Tony T and I was ready to move on Texas. Just think Shaka is on the hot seat and this is the proverbial 'circle the wagon' need a win game with Kansas in off loss at Kentucky. I said I don't think Shaka is a could recruiter. His best years at VCU and Texas have been with out coaches players. Hanging tough and losing won't get them to the NCAAs. At this price, I have to back the Bill Self Jayhawks. Kansas 38-3 off a loss since 2013-14 season. Laying a point, I can not buck that number. 4* Money Maker KANSAS

NIU on a 8-3 ATS run their last 11, 7-1 ATS last 8 at home, and 7-2 ATS last 9 vs MAC foes. Ohio comes in off 2 home wins. Prior to that, we saw 13pt loss at Toledo, 14pt to Kent and 19pt loss at Bowling Green. Think this shapes up to a double digit win by home team. 4* Money Maker NORTHERN ILLINOIS
