    Analysis

    Minnesota is playing a mega-tough game Thursday night at Carolina and started No. 1 netminder Filip Gustavsson in that one, meaning it should be backup Jesper Wallstedt (1-0-2, 3.46 GAA) on Friday. If my math is right, the Wild are 0-3 in the second of a B2B this season. David Rittich (3-0-1) will start in net for the Isles and he has allowed exactly two goals in three of his four outings. In that fourth, he was shelled and that's why the not-great 3.01 GAA on the season. Rittich has won all three home starts.

    Analysis

    Orlando really hasn't gotten going yet but is well-rested and back at home for the first time since Oct. 25. The Magic are also healthy. Boston's weakness is in the frontcourt in starting Josh Minott and "Mr. Vowel" Neemias Queta. The frontcourt is Orlando's strength. The Magic also have multiple good defenders to throw at Jaylen Brown. Obviously you should wait until close to tip, but I did check the injury report and all good for now.

    Picked: Nov 6 @ 4:26pm

    Analysis

    UAB is a team I’m looking to bet against early in the season. Andy Kennedy is an excellent coach but the Blazers are replacing every player from last year's team. Many of the replacements are from junior college and lower-tier mid-major schools, so it might take Kennedy some time to find the right mix. NC State overhauled its roster as well, although Will Wade isn’t relying on junior college players. The Wolfpack are loaded with high-level transfers, led by Texas Tech’s Darrion Williams. UAB wants to play fast but that could backfire against a deeper team with more athletes. Bet up to 16.5.

    Analysis

    The Trojans can thank their lucky stars that Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola got injured in the second half last week at Lincoln with the Huskers up 14-6 and driving inside of USC territory. Nebraska's offense would then effectively stop as frosh QB TJ Lateef couldn't throw the ball downfield, netting just 7 pass yards the rest of the night, while USC rallied to a 21-17 win. Northwestern hasn't played SC at the Coliseum since 1969 (I know, I was there!), but it's a better Northwestern team, and better than last year too, more resembling David Braun's 2023 overachievers, only this time with a real QB in the fold (SMU transfer Preston Stone) while a gnarly defense has helped NU to five straight covers. Play Northwestern

    Analysis

    It's a new era at McNeese after Will Wade departed to take the NC State job. New HC Bill Armstrong arrives from Scott Drew's Baylor staff to take over. The Cowboys return Southland MVP G Javohn Garcia and a few supporting cast members but the personnel losses were still heavy after last season and Armstrong has worked the portal to fill the gaps. How will the new pieces fit at McNeese? Meanwhile, WCC sources are high on Herb Sendek's Santa Clara and especially ex-NBA G-League 6-8 Thierry Darlan, via Senegal who already delivered his first "wow" of the season in Tuesday's romp past Humboldt State when he scored 10 and gobbled 13 rebounds in a limited appearance. Watch him! Play Santa Clara
