The underdogs are barking today after favorites went 8-0 straight up and 6-2 ATS. Here are my three favorite dogs.
Texas A&M +9.5
Texas A&M has been on a roll since being dismantled by Tennessee a few games before conference tournament play. They gave Houston a run for their money in a previous matchup. Texas A&M has been shooting the lights out for a month and will be able to keep it close against a strong Houston team.
JMU +6.5
The Dukes vs. Duke? James Madison is deep, well-coached and versatile. The Blue Devils lack depth and rely on their starters, which will lead to trouble if fouls add up quickly. JMU is elite in three-point defense, which should keep Duke from running away.
Grand Canyon +6.5
Alabama can run the score up on anyone, but Grand Canyon protects the rim, has quick, effective perimeter defenders and length to boot. Bama is bottom-50 in fouls given up, and Grand Canyon is the best in the nation at getting to the free throw line.
Parlay/RR these with alternative totals to your liking and add San Diego State money line through alt. spread -2.5.
