Saturday college games I like
As is usual, there are a million college games this weekend. Here are the five that stick out as the best values on Saturday:
Louisville (-5.5) at Providence - I love how Louisville is laying, I think that they match up well here, and I think that Rick Pitino gets a little more fired up than usual(which is saying something) when he goes back to Providence. The Cardinals seem attractive.
Drake (-1.5) at Northern Iowa – Drake had a long winning streak snapped last time out. If they are going to bounce back then this is a great spot for them to do it. The line seems soft. I’d take Drake.
Creighton (+2) at Bradley – I have been very disappointed by Bradley this year. Creighton has played reasonably well, and they know they need to step their game up a bit to make the tournament. This seems like a good place for them to start.
Stanford (+1.5) at Arizona - This is a tough one because I like both teams. Stanford is a bit deeper, though, and they are coming off a tough loss. They should be able to bounce back and win a game that should be fascinating.
Purdue (-8) at Northwestern – Purdue is as hot as any team in the country. Northwestern really, really isn’t. Northwestern can’t compete on any level here, and I think that this one could get ugly.
