Today’s Bets

UC Santa Barbara -7.5 vs. Portland State

The Gauchos make their season debut tonight vs. Portland State and we are very excited to watch this team. Joe Pasternack’s crew will be a top-75 team by the end of the season with Ajay Mitchell and Yohan Traore leading the way. We’re buying low on the Gauchos here against a Portland State team that narrowly escaped Air Force on the road. Lay the points with the home team.

Middle Tennessee -2.5 vs. Stephen F. Austin

Middle Tennessee is excellent at home. They’ve won seven straight games at the Glass House and they’re 27-2 over the last two seasons. Nick McDevitt’s squad is our pick to win the CUSA this season and their home court advantage is a major reason why. SFA is a good team and we wouldn’t be surprised if this one is close throughout, but we’ll take the elite home record here.
