COLLEGE BASKETBALL
HOWARD @ MARYLAND-EASTERN SHORE
UNDER 151.5
Howard is the second place team in the MEAC right now at 4-2. Maryland-Eastern Shore is dead last at 0-6. Howard is just 1-7 SU in its last 8 road games. The Bison are also just 3-6 ATS in their last 9 road games.
Maryland-Eastern Shore is just terrible all the way around. The Hawks are 4-18 on the season. The defense is horrible and the offense just might be worse. UMES averages 67.7 points per game which ranks 324th in the nation. The Hawks are also 217th in tempo and 8 of their last 10 games have gone Under the total.
With Howard on the road, I can't trust the Bison to cover. I don't think they can get this game out of the 70s either. This total may be a bit too high.

FRESNO STATE @ NEVADA (NEV -14.5, 142.5)
FRESNO STATE UNDER 65.5 POINTS
Nevada has won its last two games and has held each of its last four opponents to fewer than 70 points. Fresno State has dropped 6 straight games and they have just one conference win this season. That came against Air Force, which is 0-13 in Mountain West Conference play.
Nevada is 8-0 SU in the last 8 games that they have hosted Fresno State. The Wolfpack beat the Bulldogs in last year's home game, beating Fresno State 74-66 on this same floor. Nevada also beat the Bulldogs in the first game this season - 77-66 in overtime at Fresno State.
Nevada is a top 75 defense. The Wolfpack holds teams to 67.6 points per game. That number drops to 66 when they play at home. Nevada also plays very deliberately, ranking 338th in possessions per game. The tempo plus the defense will help keep Fresno State Under its team total.
