This is a 1* free play on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

Michigan is the bigger basketball brand, and that can be the only explanation for why this line is so close to a pickem. Rutgers has a better overall record, and they are 17-0 at home. Michigan has been brutal on the road, losing five of seven games and averaging under 70 points per game in that span. Rutgers has the better conference record, and their last home game was a double digit win over a ranked team (Illinois). Rutgers has been lights on defensively at home, allowing just 57.5 points per game. This line probably should be 3-4 points higher than it is.

Take Rutgers.

This is a 10* play on Leipzig +0.5.

Tottenham is coming off a 3-2 win at Aston Villa, and Son Heung Min scored the winning goal in injury time. We have since learned that Son will likely miss the rest of the year with a broken arm. Already without Harry Kane, and struggling on defense, it's going to take a miracle for Tottenham to avoid crashing out of the Champions League. Jose Mourino's squad was quite fortunate to have won their last match against a bottom feeder in the Premier League. This is a huge step up in class facing a team that is competing for top spot in the Bundesliga.

Take Leipzig.

This is a 5* play on Over 132.

California is coming off a home loss to Arizona State (80-75), and I had the over in that game. Here is what I said prior to tip off: "California and Arizona State have  failed to reach the total in five straight head to head meetings, but the bookmakers might have over-corrected with a super low number here in Sunday's game. The total in each of the last four meetings was higher than 150, and each of the last eight meetings had a total higher than 140. As poorly as California has played this season, they have scored 72 points and 69 points respectively in two of their last three home games." We see another low total here in tonight's game at Washington State. It's lower than it was when the Bears beat the Cougars 73-66 at home earlier this year. Three of the last five meetings between these teams had a total over 150. Let's punish the books for offering such a low number here in this game.

Take Over.
