Appalachian State Mountaineers vs Mercer Bears
App State and Mercer meet in a matchup likely to turn into a grind on both ends. Neither offense has put together much rhythm, and the Mountaineers look better positioned to find a late scoring stretch. The number gives them room to stay competitive. If you want to get bold, the App State moneyline offers value as well.
Betting Pick: Appalachian State Mountaineers +6.5 over Mercer Bears
Final Score Prediction: Appalachian State 69, Mercer 68
Colorado State Rams vs Virginia Tech Hokies
Battle 4 Atlantis games often slow into halfcourt battles, and this one fits the pattern. Colorado State plays at one of the slowest tempos in the country, while both teams lean toward efficiency rather than pace. A total at 153.5 is simply too high for these styles.
Betting Pick: Colorado State Rams/Virginia Tech Hokies Under 153.5
Final Score Prediction: Virginia Tech 75, Colorado State 71
Harvard Crimson vs Boston College Eagles
This local matchup brings legitimate intrigue. Boston College is coming off a surprising home loss to Central Connecticut State, which raises real questions. Harvard plays physically and rarely backs down against bigger programs. The Crimson should hang around for the full forty minutes and are very live as an underdog.
Betting Pick: Harvard Crimson +7.5 over Boston College Eagles
Final Score Prediction: Boston College 68, Harvard 64
Southern Illinois Salukies vs Memphis Tigers
Memphis has yet to find its full rhythm, and the inconsistency continues to show up in its margins. Southern Illinois is not shooting well, but competes hard enough to stay in most games. Memphis should win, but covering a large spread feels unlikely.
Betting Pick: Southern Illinois Salukies +11 over Memphis Tigers
Final Score Prediction: Memphis 82, Southern Illinois 74
NJIT Highlanders vs Louisville Cardinals
Trusting anyone to cover more than 40 points is tough, even Louisville at its current level. NJIT gets its top scorer back, which should help stabilize the offense enough to avoid long droughts. Louisville is a true contender, but this line is inflated.
Betting Pick: NJIT Highlanders +43 over Louisville Cardinals
Final Score Prediction: Louisville 92, NJIT 60
