Wizards are on fire right now and the books haven't adjusted much for them. Indiana is one of the worst road teams in the NBA with a 4-12 SU record. Wizards are another team that realyl struggles on the road, but at home it's a different story with a record of 11-6. The Wizards will also want revenge from an earlier loss this season just by 2 @ Indiana.

I think ODU is a lot better than they are getting credit for here as actually dont deserve to be an underdog. They took Louisville down to the wire earlier this season. VCU is coming off two losses in a row and were a 15 point favorite against Georgia Tech. I'm not buying this VCU team at all.

Always a general rule of mine early in the season. You can't back a short priced dog on the road when they haven't won a true road game yet.

Houston is coming off a loss @ Arkansas and are looking for a big win to their season started. I see that happening today!

While this is a little rivalry and Nebraska is getting some respect, I just dont see it here as the Huskers struggle to score. Creighton is averaging nearly 91 ppg while Nebraska is just 69. In order to stay with the Blue Jays you need to be a sharp shooting team and the Huskers aren't that at all. I know this will also be a public play, but I thought this line would be around 8 so clearly the value IMO is with Creighton
