The average score over the last 3 seasons when these teams play is W. Michigan 76 C. Michigan 70.

The last game these teams played was on 2/4/02 with Central Michigan winnnig by 3.

As I see this match up, I don't feel that Western Michigan will be able to keep up with Central Michigans offense. The +11 in this game I feel is way out of line. Central Michigan has a very good possibility to win this game outright.

Good Luck.

I realize there are not many reasons listed for going with Kent St. here. But, seeing the average PPG it just seems that Miami (OH) will not be able to keep up.

After researching this further I suggest you buy back.

This is why I like to do the write ups. At first glance a bet may look good then you look further into it and realize it isn't exactly appear what it first looked like.

Syracuse -4 over Seton Hall

Syracuse averages 89 PPG
Seton Hall averages 66.6 PPG

Syracuse surrenders 19 points less than there PPG
Seton Hall surrenders .4 points less than there PPG

We are going to have to see how Syracuse plays on the road. I don't believe that Seton Hall has the defense to keep this game close. Syracuse is looking very good as of late and the -4 should be no problem.

Seton Hall normally plays a closer game than Syracuse. As long as Syracuse can come out strong they should be able to continue to lead this game throughout.

TCU +3 over Souther Miss

TCU averages 83 PPG
Southern Miss averages 65.7 PPG

TCU had a 6 point higher average on the road than Southern Miss has at home. TCU averages 10 PPG more than their opponents. Southern Miss averages -3.7 PPG less than their opponents. In this game I feel the edge is with TCU.

Davidson +11 over N. Carolina

Davidson averages 86.6 PPG
N. Carolina averages 69.9 PPG

Davidson averages 4.3 PPG more than their opponents.
N. Carolina averages 4.3 PPG more than their opponents.

The average score in the last 3 seasons has been DAVIDSON 58, N CAROLINA 54

With an 11 point cushion I think that Davidson can keep it close. They have a very high PPG average and N. carolina is realtively average for college hoops. I like my chances with the +11 here.
