    Analysis

    We all know Florida has one of, if not, the best front courts in the country. The Seminoles also have a lot of size to compete with their rivals. This is a new Florida team but they struggled last season on the road to begin the season as the Seminoles covered last season with a team that was not as good as they have currently. In a true home game with the crowd behind them, Frloida State does enough to stay within the number.

    Analysis

    Washington has played just four road games (2-2) this season and will travel to Canada for the first time. Ottawa is one of the premier positive regression candidates in the Eastern Conference, with a top-5 ranking in high-danger shots against. The Senators have suppressed five-on-five chances to 2.40 xGA/60 while utilizing Linus Ullmark's goaltending (1.33 GAA, .945 SV%). The Sens rank 7th in Face-off win percentage, while the Caps are 23rd. An unsustainable 12.8% shooting percentage and a slew of home games have inflated Washington's record. With Ottawa’s home-ice advantage and its top defensive pairing matched against Washington's best line—plus Ullmark’s return in goal—I like the Senators in this matchup.

    Picked: Nov 9 @ 7:36pm

    Analysis

    This is a very degenerate play on my part but if you're a college football fan and a bettor, you're probably betting weeknight MACtion like me. Both of these teams simply don't score. Bowling Green and Kent State are averaging less than 34 points per game combined and even worse, Kent State is averaging all of 4.4 PPG on the road this season. The home Falcons have a semi-ok defense and I have a hard time seeing the Golden Flashes score even two touchdowns. This one should be U-G-L-Y so play the Under. Bowling Green 17, Kent State 10.

    Picked: Nov 9 @ 8:47pm

    Analysis

    Arguably the best goalie in the NHL this season has been Ottawa's Linus Ullmark (7-1-0, 1.33 GAA, .945 SV), he just hasn't been able to stay healthy. Ullmark has been out since Oct. 21 but is set to return Tuesday. Center Ridly Greig also will return after missing a couple. The Caps have played among the fewest road games in the NHL with four and have won two. If form holds, it's Charlie Lindgren's turn Tuesday in net and he's 3-2-0 with a 3.08 GAA but I'm good with Logan Thompson too.

    Analysis

    Neutral court game but still in Iowa. The Hawkeyes remain the slowest team in the country under Ben McCollum. Their offseason has looked very efficient but that was against lesser opponents, still averaging around 66 possessions per game. Virginia Tech does not push the pace, middle of the pack in tempo and lacks size. The Hawkeyes have much more size down low to the control the class and their offense will use the entire clock before getting off a shot.
