    Analysis

    The Sun Belt and MAC challenge has been one sided as the Sun Belt has not lost the event in it’s three years of existence. These matchups have been competitive and of today’s ten matchups, 9 have spreads of 3.5 points or less. Troy is a team that gained notoriety for taking USC to overtime, and beating San Diego State in non conference play a season ago. Size gave them problems as the season wore on, and that’s a strength of UMass that has size at all skill positions. Grab the points here with the Minutemen.

    Analysis

    Caesars. Half Unit for the first CBB pick of the season. Both teams have new rosters, but I like the players the Bulls added a little more. In 2026, this is obviously more of a personal projection. We won't know about 99% of these teams until we see how all the new pieces fit together. Both teams will play fast here and shoot a ton of threes. The difference is I think UB has the better guards. I make the Bulls -1, so I will back them at +3 for a half unit. The five-month grind with no sleep and two more ulcers is underway!

    Points
    Picked: Nov 2 @ 11:34am

    Analysis

    Tyrese Maxey has scored at least 26 points in all seven games this season. Joel Embiid (foot) didn’t play Saturday against the Hornets and Maxey stepped up to score 38 points over 38 minutes. Embiid is questionable against the Bulls, and it might make sense for the 76ers to give him extra rest because they should still be able to defeat the Bulls without him. There is blowout concern here, but the Bulls play at the fastest pace and have the third-worst defensive rating in the league, so I still like Maxey’s chances of hitting this over.

    Picked: Nov 2 @ 2:21pm

    Analysis

    Caesar’s. Since Paolo Banchero went down with an injury, Franz Wagner is cleared this line in 2/4 games. Not only is he needed on the scoring front, but he’s also averaging 15.3 potential assists and 70.8 passes per game in that span. The injury woes have magnified, as Jalen Suggs and Anthony Black will both be out tonight, leaving Wagner and Desmond Bane as the offensive igniters. Against the Wizards, I like the spot for Wagner - Washington has struggled against scoring/pick and roll facilitating wings this season.

    Picked: Nov 1 @ 10:00pm

    Analysis

    Early morning tip off before we start the work day. Last season, these were two of the slower teams in the country in terms of tempo and yes, it’s a new season and new players. But, the one thing we all know is this Merrimack defense and their zone. The Mountaineers have the size advantage and should be able to control the boards but Joe Gallo and Merrimack will make this into a slow, grind it out contest.
