Baltmore-New England OVER 43.5 (-110): 1.1/1 (Bookmaker)
Weather should be cold but clear and I think we'll see a lot of passing from both sides. The Ravens aren't that defensive juggernaut we're used to, and I think they'll be playing a lot of catch-up even with Welker OUT. Most of this is at 43, but to finish off my unit evenly i had to take the extra 1/2

Rhode Island -3 (-110) vs. Temple: 1.1/1 (Dimeline)
Wish I was attending this one at the Ryan Center tomorrow, but it's a little far for me to go for just a 2-hour game. Will say that this URI team has been playing far above my expectations to this point in the season and I really think they've been looking forward to this Temple game as the Rams do ever year. A lot of times Jim Baron Sr.'s kids flop in these games, but I think this could be the year where they qualify for the NCAA tournament. They've won games I didn't expect they would, and they fought really hard to come back and win in Akron earlier in the week. Like the homecourt situation and a talented Rams team that knows they need to start the conference season on the right foot.

Kansas -5.5 (-110) @ Tennessee: 1.1/1 (Dimeline)
Tons of turmoil surrounding UT, and the Jayhawks are pissed about last game's near-loss to Cornell. I think Scotty Hopson and Wayne Chism will try to put the team on their shoulders with some deep shots early and they could shoot their teamout of the game if they don't hit 'em. Depth will be a huuuuuge issue as well...

Virginia Tech +8.5 (-110) @ North Carolina: 1.1/1 (Bookmaker)
Seth Greenberg has always had success against UNC, winning as a 19-point dog a few years ago in Chapel Hill. Now that I see Delaney is playing, I'm happy to play this VT team when UNC is in a funk. I think they'll struggle with outside shooting and I think that's something you need to beat VT. I just hope the Hokies can hold their own on the boards.

good luck
