Best Bets 11.17.23

Last Night’s Recap

We fired off six bets and it actually went pretty well! Houston had the spread covered in the first half, but let off the gas offensively. Louisiana Tech hovered around and landed on the number. Missouri was atrocious in the first half and luckily got us a push. Then we absolutely nailed the script with Auburn, UCF and the TXSO/UVA under.

Houston -21 vs. Towson ❌

Louisiana Tech -10 vs. Louisiana Monroe 🖐️

Auburn -14 vs. Notre Dame ✅

Missouri -2 vs. Minnesota 🖐️

Texas Southern/Virginia Under 129.5 ✅

UCF -9.5 vs. Cal State Fullerton ✅

Last night’s record: 3-1-2

Overall record: 17-17-2

Today’s Bets

Another full slate of games on the docket, so we’ve got another heavy card.

St. John’s/Dayton Under 139.5

Tired legs. Tired emotions coming off a couple of thrillers. 2pm tip. Two offenses that can get stagnate at times. Take the under.

Charleston -5.5 vs. Wyoming

At some point Charleston is going to start making shots. Why not today against a Wyoming team that’s allowing teams to shoot 37.5% through their first three games? Wyoming also turns the ball over a ton, which plays right into Charleston’s pressure and tempo. Lay the points.

Long Beach State/Michigan Over 156.5

Michigan’s offense plus a team that is 7th in the country in tempo? Dug McDaniel track meet szn. Take the over.

Eastern Kentucky -7.5 vs. Tennessee-Martin

EKU is going to be *very* good this year and there will be more mullets in this crowd than you’ve ever seen in your life. Lay the points with the home favorite.

Auburn -10.5 vs. St. Bonaventure

The Tigers got to cruise in their MTE opener. The Bonnies had to fight til the end. Auburn is severely underrated in my opinion and their frontcourt will take advantage of SBU down low. Lay the points.
