INDIANA has won the last 5 vs. Notre Dame can see them winning this one too. I know their road record the last couple of years has been plain pitiful, BUT Davis made it a point to play a very tough schedule this year to prepare them for the BIG 10. They have beaten Xavier, and lost to Missouri, Wake, and Vandy (wake and vandy on the road)....They will have some fans in South Bend and will cover this number if not get the SU win.
Penn State is a very strong home dog in this spot. Rutgers is very athletic, but I feel after the poor offensive performance we witnessed out of State vs. Pitt things will change here in front of the home crowd....they cover the number in a close one that I can see them winning.
Idaho State gets the straight up win at home where the fans will be a huge factor! They are absolutely crazy and will help will their team an EASY cover and what I feel will be the SU win over a VERY popular public play (Boise st).
Butler is a tough cookie and can even play on the road, but Bradley is an up and coming team who plays great fundamental bball. They are very disciplined and have a great coach, playing on their home court I have them winning this one by 10.
Maryland, How long will Gary Williams be denied his 300th? This will be a great game that IMO the oddsmakers are giving entirely to many points to the turtle.....I would guess that they thought people would still bang Florida after what has happend to maryland in their last 2 and with Florida touting the #1 ranking.....Huge Revenge game as Maryland's LONG home winning streak was snapped by Florida last year.....now Maryland can do the same to the Gators.....Florida wins but not by double digits....
Vandy is very solid and damn good at home....but 31 to a inner state team????? I will risk a unit.....
