BELLARMINE @ SOUTH DAKOTA | 12/15 | 8:00 PM EST
SOUTH DAKOTA -120
ANALYSIS: Various models have South Dakota winning from anywhere between 2-4 points so let's not even mess with the spread. South Dakota is 6-0 at home this season and 59-9 all-time at its fairly new Coyote Sports Center. After sitting out last season in the pandemic, Aussie Hunter Goodrick has come back strong for the Coyotes and is averaging 7.2 points and 7.7 rebounds. All six of Bellarmine's losses are against good-to-great competition (Purdue, UCLA, Gonzaga to name three) but all of its wins are against garbage. Only two of Bellarmine’s 11 games have had single-digit scoring margins.

N. MEX. ST. @ WASHINGTON ST. | 12/15 | 10:00 PM EST
N. MEX. ST. +8
ANALYSIS: This spread is too high. I make these teams about even with the absence of Cougars center Dishon Jackson who is out with a thumb injury. The Aggies have won each of their last three games, all of which were on the road. The Cougars are coming off of a straight up loss in a home game where they were favored by six. They should struggle again in this game. The Aggies will be able to keep this game close enough to cover the spread.

FAIRFIELD @ FDU | 12/15 | 7:00 PM EST
FAIRFIELD -9
ANALYSIS: The Knights are one of the worst teams in Division I. They are 0-8 with an average margin of defeat of 20.4 PPG. The Stags have looked impressive this season. They are 8-1 ATS and have been trending upwards. They have won seven of their last eight games including four straight road games. They will dominate this terrible Knights teams and easily over this spread.

MOREHEAD ST. @ XAVIER | 12/15 | 8:30 PM EST
XAVIER -15.5
ANALYSIS: I am very high on this Xavier team. The Musketeers are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games and 6-0 ATS in their last six home games. The Eagles are not a good team. They are just 1-4 ATS in their five games as an underdog including 0-3 ATS as a double digit underdog. The Musketeers are a much better team. They have beaten up on bad teams and will again in this game. Lay the points.

UCF @ TEMPLE | 12/15 | 7:00 PM EST
OVER 136
ANALYSIS: I'll take this moderate total to go over in an interesting matchup between UCF and Temple. Central Florida seems to focus more on offensive production and runs up the score in road games. They're 3-0 on the over when away from home and each time the total has safely cashed by at least 10 points. Temple should help by getting to the free throw line and adding points with the clock stopped while staying competitive at home. The over is the play here.

MIAMI @ PHILADELPHIA | 12/15 | 7:00 PM EST
PHILADELPHIA -6
ANALYSIS: I'm going to risk picking this one early in the hopes that Joel Embiid plays for Philly because he did participate in the shootaround this morning after sitting out Monday. The Heat already have ruled out Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo among a few other lesser guys.

INDIANA @ MILWAUKEE | 12/15 | 8:00 PM EST
INDIANA -2
ANALYSIS: I’m not going to lie, rolling with the Pacers here, given what they have done to me this season, makes me feel a little uneasy. With that being said, the Bucks are in rough shape with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Donte DiVincenzo and Wesley Matthews all in the health and safety protocols. To complicate matters, Khris Middleton (knee) is listed as questionable. If he’s out, this line could swing significantly. I’ll take a chance and lock in the Pacers now.
