Houston -7 (-119) vs. New England: 1.185/1 (Dimeline)
Some of this is at 6.5, but i basically had to split a unit up and so this will be VERY interesting to score. Let's hope they cover the 7, but I think they will considering how Tom Brady is done and I think Wes Welker's injury is going to worry a lot of the players and make them play more conservative than normal. Hate the inconsistency of the Texans, but they need this game and I think they will score in the 2H and New England won't be able to keep up.

Iowa St -5.5 (-110) vs. Houston: 1.1/1 (Dimeline)
Craig Brackins is one of the best players in the country who isn't talked about as he can flat out score the basketball. ISU also has a great HCA that is much better than most people would think from an average team over the past few years. Meanwhile, UH dropped a big game at home to La Tech in their last time out and I think there will be a bit of a hangover effect on the team. They play absolutely zero defense and I think the Bulldogs provided a blueprint on how to stop Coleman that ISU should be able to copy.

Wake Forest -3 (-108) vs. Xavier: 1.075/1 (Dimeline)
Got half of this at 2.5 and the other at 3, so let's hope to just win this one so I can avoid a 1/2U win on one side and a push on the other like i saw earlier today on the Texans. Basically, I don't think Xavier can handle size. They struggled with it against Kansas State and Baylor, which are two good teams with less polished big men than the Deacs throw out there. I think this line reflects how WFU struggled against Richmond, and I'm not sure it's fair because of how good the Spiders truly are. I think they could win the A10, and WFU should handle the boards really well.

good luck
