Teddy Davis

I will take my chances here with Detroit to put an end to their skid here.  The Pistons have had a couple days off here while Boston is on a back to back and more importantly are short handed still with some injuries making this back to back tough.  

Hornets lost to the Knicks last night in OT bringing their home record still to a very good 10-6.  I believe they were clearly looking ahead to this game tonight.  The Lakers haven't been impressive on the road at all this season.  

Tough game here for LSU.  Yes, they have more talent, but I haven't been impressed from what I've seen so far.  They havent beat a quality team yet and dont deserve to be favored here.  LSU playing this game will be weird as their bodies are use to east coast time and this game will be starting midnight their normal time.  That is worth something here.  St Marys was dogs to a better SEC team in Miss St by 5.5 and took them to the wire

Sure, this isn't your normal Arizona team that we are use to seeing, but this definitely isn't the Baylor team from the past either.  I just think Baylor is terrible this year.  They already lost to Texas Southern, Ole Miss who is a bad SEC team, and barely beat South Dakota.  Zona on their home court should run these guys out of their gym 

I really like Miss St here on their home floor.  Remember this was a highly thought of team from the beginning, but since Cincy is a household name lead by Coach Cronin I think that gets lost in the mix.  Cincy hasn't really been battle tested yet and Miss St only loss came to Arizona St which is another ranked team.

I do think ASU is a good team, but they played their games at home or neutral in Vegas in which they are familiar with.  First time traveling and its a big trip to Georgia.  Georgia hasn't been exactly a world beater I understand that, but this is simply a play against ASU and the situation here.

I think UNC makes a statement game here.  They haven't looked the greatest by any many especially losing to Texas, but they still have talent and on their home floor they are dangerous.  Gonzaga has literally been all over the country going from Maui to back home, to Midwest, back home, Phoenix, and now southeast.  It's been a great run, but I wonder how much is left

This play here is pretty simple for reasoning.  Utah St had a good year but ended up coming short in making the Mountain West Conference Championship game which they had their sites on.  Now with what has taken place with all the coaching changes I just dont see it working out in a positive way.  

The rare combo of a father-son coach QB duo.  Well we have that here with Mid Tenn St and while they may not win the game you for sure know the effort will be there given that fact alone.  Mid Tenn also played a lot tougher schedule which helps them a ton in this spot.  Also App St lost their coach which sets up for a tough situation 

We have a Mountain West school vs Pac 12 in a good match up.  I just think Fresno is much better despite being from the so called lesser conference since they are non power 5.  I know people are going to make the case that ASU had a lot of close losses, but the PAC 12 was down big time this year and they had a miracle come back to beat their rival Arizona.  Fresno St is no joke with their two losses being on the road @ Minnesota which they should have won and @ Boise, but they got that revenge in the MWC Title game.  ASU will miss their stud WR here as well
