(upbeat music)
00:02
- Number one, but Purdue at number two, I should say.
00:08
I keep thinking they're one
00:09
because DeCoursey has them one every week
00:11
and that DeCoursey's dozen I do on Tuesdays.
00:13
Purdue is number two though in the country.
00:15
They have Northwestern coming in.
00:16
They lost to Northwestern earlier this year, Joe,
00:18
in Evanston, so it's payback time.
00:20
This is now up to 14 and a half for the Boilermakers.
00:23
Alabama is at Georgia tonight,
00:26
six and a half point favorites on the road.
00:28
I'd be careful there.
00:29
Georgia's a little bit better than people let on.
00:32
I played a tough game with Florida last week.
00:34
St. John's is at Xavier.
00:36
Xavier's minus one and a half in that one.
00:38
Notre Dame and Virginia in the ACC.
00:40
There's your Baylor team, Joe,
00:41
laying three and a half on the road at UCF.
00:44
Gabe was saying earlier that he likes UCF tonight
00:46
in that game.
00:47
- Yeah, I love Baylor.
00:48
I think they run 'em out of the gym.
00:50
That's one of my better bets.
00:51
- Run 'em out of the gym.
00:53
- Yeah, I don't think UCF is in the same category
00:56
from a defensive perspective.
00:58
UCF can run.
00:59
They're very athletic,
01:01
but I think in terms of this matchup against Baylor,
01:03
I just think they get wore down.
01:05
The one dog I do like,
01:07
I actually like two dogs on there.
01:08
I do like St. John's,
01:10
plus the point and a half against Xavier,
01:12
but I like Notre Dame over Virginia
01:15
because again, Notre Dame,
01:16
I know they're not that great,
01:18
Carver, they're not that great,
01:19
but again, Virginia, in order to cover that number
01:22
for Virginia, needs to play their A game.
01:25
I mean, Virginia laying 12 and a half
01:27
is like basically any team laying 35.
01:31
You know that as well as anybody.
01:33
They slow it down better than anybody.
01:35
Give me Notre Dame plus a 12 and a hook.
01:38
- I think that's a very tough road game
01:41
for Alabama tonight.
01:42
I think they win the game,
01:43
but I think Georgia will give 'em a little bit of a push
01:46
at home. - Maybe, but I can't take that.
01:49
I cannot take that in any capacity.
01:51
Can't take it.
01:52
- Here's the next rack that I have for you.
01:54
Wake Forest is at Pitt tonight,
01:57
Cincinnati and West Virginia.
01:59
So a couple short numbers there, Joe.
02:00
One and a half for Pitt,
02:01
three and a half for Cincinnati,
02:03
Kentucky, five and a half point favorite at home
02:05
against Florida,
02:07
UConn, 13 and a half at home against Providence tonight,
02:11
Penn State and Rutgers at the State University of New Jersey
02:15
minus six and a half for Rutgers here, Joe.
02:18
- I sort of like Pitt laying a short number
02:21
against the Demon Deacons,
02:22
basically less than a bucket.
02:23
I'll take a shot on the Panthers
02:25
and the two dogs that stick out.
02:28
- Wake's not terrible.
02:30
Wake's not terrible.
02:31
They're not a bad team. - No, I know they're not terrible,
02:32
but it's one and a half.
02:33
The fact that it's basically almost a pick.
02:36
All right, so then you step up, guy,
02:38
and take the Demon Deacons.
02:40
I hope the Panthers smash them tonight.
02:42
That's the first thing.
02:43
The second thing, I'm taking the Gators
02:46
against the Wild,
02:48
they played this game about a week ago.
02:50
Two weeks ago, what was the line?
02:51
Three and a half.
02:52
Florida was favorite in that game, weren't they?
02:54
And they lost the ball game outright.
02:56
So now they're catching five and a half.
02:58
You have an adjustment of basically nine points.
03:00
Look at that.
03:01
Over adjustment for the Cow.
03:04
I'm taking the Gators.
03:05
I think they win the ball game outright.
03:07
- I'm gonna lay it with UConn, Joe.
03:10
I think UConn, they're more on teams right now.
03:13
You would.
03:14
Providence, they've shown me nothing here recently.
03:16
I'm gonna lay it with the Huskies.
03:18
I usually don't love the big numbers.
03:20
Like the bigs, the bigs.
03:21
We were just talking about Memphis.
03:23
They're at home tonight for Rice.
03:25
And Memphis has not been playing well.
03:26
I think they've lost three out of four,
03:28
four out of five, somewhere in that area.
03:30
But Rice comes in tonight.
03:31
They stink.
03:32
15 and a half though is a pretty big number.
03:34
Arkansas and Missouri get together.
03:37
Joe loves when they play in football,
03:38
but tonight they're on the hardwood.
03:40
Five and a half for Missouri.
03:42
Vandy and Auburn, we heard from Bruce Pearl earlier.
03:44
Heavy number, 18 and a hook.
03:47
New Mexico minus 10 and a half against Boise tonight.
03:50
And finally, Joe, Santa Clara and St. Mary's late night.
03:53
I like Santa Clara.
03:55
Me too.
03:56
Getting the points at St. Mary's.
03:58
They have been good so far this year in the WCC.
04:01
And we should back it up with the under,
04:02
135 and a half, because St. Mary's plays D.
04:05
They slow it down.
04:07
I like Auburn.
04:08
I would take a shot.
04:10
Just because he's saying they're gonna lose a lot of game,
04:13
that's a huge number, Carver.
04:14
18 and a half, I know, but they're at home.
04:17
They should boat race Vanderbilt in Stackhouse.
