The Zags are the best team in the nation right now and the top scoring team as well. They have won 31 consecutive home games, the longest streak in the nation. They have completely dominated this series, having won 37 straight meetings, including 21 straight at home. The Zags will pretty much do whatever they want in this game and won't be surprised to see them put up 100 here. The Waves are horrible defensively, they can't guard and they can't rebound, expect the Zags to dominate the boards as well.

SAN DIEGO ST @ UTAH ST. | 1/04 | 10:00 PM EST
11:01 AM
The Aztecs are just one of two undefeated teams in the nation, Auburn is the other. But they will have their hands full here as the oddsmakers have them listed as an underdog against Utah State. The Aztecs have dropped the last two meetings after complete domination in this series. These are two very good defensive teams and I think points will be at a premium in this one. The Aztecs can defend, allowing just 56 points per game overall, while Utah State allows 62. The Under has cashed in six straight meetings.

W. VIRGINIA @ KANSAS | 1/04 | 4:00 PM EST
10:59 AM
This is a fantastic matchup and I think this number is way too high. West Virginia comes into this game unranked, but it will be ranked shortly. This team can play and has played one of the toughest schedules to date. The Jayhawks have won 28 consecutive home openers, however they have two losses already and shown they are beatable. Kansas has had a tough time vs. good defensive teams and WV is going to challenge most of the shots the Jayhawks take, as well as battle on the boards.

COLUMBUS -1.5
SAN JOSE @ COLUMBUS | 1/04 | 1:00 PM EST
10:56 AM
The Jackets may be the hottest team in the NHL, posting points in 12 straight games. On Saturday they face a struggling Sharks team that may not be ready for this early start and is just 3-9-2 in its last 14 games. San Jose lost both meetings against Columbus last year and was outscored 8-1 in the process. The Sharks have dropped five of their last six road games and haven't won back-to-back games since the end of November. Columbus money line (+178) is the play.

CONNECTICUT -3.5
CONNECTICUT @ SOUTH FLORIDA | 1/04 | 2:00 PM EST
10:56 AM
The UConn Huskies come into this game off a horrible loss to Cincinnati. Look for them to make some adjustments here and continue their dominance in this series. The Huskies have won 12 of the last 13 meetings overall and are a better team than the Bulls. The Bulls are shooting a league worst 59 percent from the FT line and are not a good offensive team, ranking 322nd in the nation in scoring. The Huskies are 7-2 ATS their last nine games following an ATS L.

INDIANA +7
INDIANA @ MARYLAND | 1/04 | 12:00 PM EST
10:53 AM
The Hoosiers come into Conference play with just two losses and 11 wins, and they will test the Terps here for sure. Indiana leads the nation in free throws made with almost 19 per game. That alone should keep the Hoosiers in this game. The Hoosiers come into this game off a tough seven-point loss to Arkansas, who are very underrated in my opinion. The Hoosiers have a couple big wins under their belts already over FSU, UConn and ND, while their other loss was to a solid Badgers team that just upset Ohio State last night. The Terps have dropped four straight ATS and six of their last eight overall.

TENNESSEE +4.5
TENNESSEE @ NEW ENGLAND | 1/04 | 8:15 PM EST
At the risk of opting against Tom Brady, a famously bad-weather QB, the rainy forecast favors Tennessee with indefatigable RB Derrick Henry. The Titans do not throw much anyway with QB Ryan Tannehill, who has proven efficient down the season’s stretch. This line is boosted by the Patriots’ incomparable playoff success, which cannot be discounted. But the visitors have been superior lately, as a 5-2 ATS record attests, while the Pats closed 1-4-1 ATS. New England went 3-3 straight-up this season against plus-.500 foes, and every winning margin was by one score. Take Tennessee.

UTAH ST. -3
SAN DIEGO ST @ UTAH ST. | 1/04 | 10:00 PM EST
11:09 AM
And then there will be one after San Diego State departs the two-team club of unbeatens. Utah State is 8-0 outright at home this season and 33-5 over the past three. The Aztecs are braced to play without 6-foot-10 Nathan Mensah (illness), a significant loss given that Utah State is the tallest squad in D-1. Also, the return of 6-6 Aguek Trop (shoulder) is iffy. The Aztecs were outrebounded the past two games against foes with a combined six wins.

IOWA +2.5
IOWA VS PENN ST. | 1/04 | 2:00 PM EST
11:08 AM
It’s a neutral-site game in Philadelphia, a long drive from Penn State’s campus. Iowa happens to have covered at 13 of its last 16 non-partisan scenarios, along with four in a row overall. The Hawkeyes rank fifth in the nation for assist-to-turnover ratio, and freshman PG Joe Toussaint, gearing up for his third start, is settling in.

PITTSBURGH -6.5
WAKE FOREST @ PITTSBURGH | 1/04 | 12:00 PM EST
11:06 AM
Wake Forest ends a crazy-long two-week layoff, during which time two reserves managed to get themselves suspended for this matchup. The Deacons are prone to turnovers, and Pitt ranks 12th nationally in inducing same. Pitt’s balanced scoring — four players in double figures — poses a challenge for the defense on whom to focus.
