North Carolina State +5 (-102) vs. Clemson: 1.02/1 (Matchbook)
Clemson has been hearing they were the best team they've ever had and I think they struggle to get up for this early game in Raleigh. I fear NCSU's ball-handling against the pressure, but I think this NCSU team has fighters on it and although they're less talented the crowd should be wild.

North Carolina -6.5 (-105) vs. Georgia Tech: 1.05/1 (Matchbook)
Don't love this 'Heels team, but they are better than the Jackets. AND THEY ARE AT HOME. While that won't be enough to cover this spread, it will be big because GT has a young lineup and I think they will struggle on the road in a slighty fair-weather but still hostile environment. Think they'll get hurt on the boards...

Baylor -4.5 (-110) vs. Oklahoma State: 1.1/1 (Dimeline)
The Bears are long and athletic, and I think Oklahoma State will struggle to score on the offensive end. The Pokes struggle a ton on the road, and their ineptitude showed on monday against OU. I really like this Baylor team as they have somehow glided under the radar to this point in the season, but I think a big statement win tomorrow will propel them into the top25.

Virginia Tech ML (+200) @ Florida State: 0.667/1.334 (Matchbook)
Guessed completely wrong on the line movement as I threw up a +200 offer last night and it was matched and I'm currently down 20 cents on the offer right now. Not exactly pleased about that, but I was honestly looking for 75 cents less and I'm thinking that my strategy for road teams is to play them to win SU, or to lay off. All in all, FSU is scuffling right now and the Hokies are on my serious play list until the lines start reflecting how good they are. They play great defense and they get after the boards despite being a little undersized, and I think they can score enough to put a lot of pressure on an anemic offense like FSU's. I think FSU is favored by this much because of the number next to their name, and although they are a team I often look to play, I just can't do it today.
