*3 Star Play on 76ers* The Cleveland Cavs just beat the Philadelphia 76ers in a blowout win on Wednesday night. It's a very quick chance at revenge for the 76ers here. Darius Garland and Sam Merrill were both hurt in that win for the Cavs.

The Cavs are 7-15 ATS after a win this season. The 76ers are 12-4 ATS after a loss this season. Cleveland is 11-21 ATS in 32 games against non-division opponents.

The Cavs have shown no ability to follow up a strong performance with another one. The 76ers have to want to get back on track here, and they have been resilient so far this year.

The 76ers are the healthier team too.

Take Philadelphia.

*3 Star Play Under* The Buffalo Bills offense isn't quite what it once was. Josh Allen is really banged up right now. Allen is still great, but he doesn't quite have the same game breaking ability he has when he is healthy. The Bills wide receivers are shorthanded in a big way and that puts a lot more pressure on the run game.

Denver's defense was first in the NFL in yards per play allowed this year. The Broncos do a good job keeping things in front of them. This Broncos defense should be well prepared for the Bills attack.

Buffalo averaged only 5.5 yards per play last week. They put up just 12 points against the Eagles in a late season game too.

Denver's offense is inconsistent. I don't trust Bo Nix to make all the right decisions in the key moments. The Broncos should run the ball well here, but I think they could be pretty one dimensional.

Take the under.

*3 Star Play Under* Florida Gulf Coast and West Georgia are both involved in some pretty high scoring games. There's no doubt that a pretty high total is deserved high. I just think this one is too high.

West Georgia is 220th in average possession length, while Florida Gulf Coast is 151st. These two teams are about average pace. They aren't running and gunning in a big way.

West Georgia's game against ultra high scoring N Florida stayed below this total. Florida Gulf Coast has seen their last four games all stay below this total even though they played Queens and Lipscomb in their last two.

These two teams are both in the bottom 50 in the country in FTA/FGA. They shouldn't get to the line much.

Take the under at this high number.

*3 Star Play Under* Jacksonville is 360th in overall tempo in the country. This is a very slow paced team. The Dolphins are good at dictating the pace as well. Jacksonville is also dead last in the A Sun in offensive efficiency and second best in the A Sun in defensive efficiency.

North Alabama is 282nd in overall tempo. They have played some very high scoring teams in their last few games and I believe that has inflated this total a few points.

Look for this game to be played in the halfcourt and stay lower scoring.

Take the under.

*3 Star Play Under* The Northern Iowa Panthers are 363rd out of 365 teams in the nation in overall tempo. They are looking to walk it up the court whenever they can. Northern Iowa is second in the nation in 3 point field goal percentage defense. Northern Iowa is first in the MVC in defensive rebounding percentage and third in defending without fouling.

Valparaiso relies heavily on getting to the free throw line, and Northern Iowa should be far better than many of Valpo's opponents at keeping them off the line.

The first meeting was 58-48. I do think this game will be higher than that, but this total has steamed upward more than I expected and I have to back the under.

Take the under.

*4 Star Play Over* The Howard Bison are first in the MEAC in overall tempo. They like to push the pace quite a bit. NC Central is first in offensive efficiency in the MEAC.

NC Central lives at the line and Howard is bottom 50 in the nation at defending without fouling.

This total has been bet down a lot, and I think it has gone down too far. I see both defenses as subpar and both teams at the charity stripe a lot here.

Take the over.

*4 Star Play Under* The Fordham are 353rd nationally in average possession length. Fordham is 15th best in the nation in defending without fouling. They are also 15th best in defensive rebounding percentage. Fordham is 248th in offensive efficiency, and they really struggle to get open looks.

Duquesne played very fast in the non-conference portion of the schedule, but they are playing more than 1.5 seconds per possession slower on offense in conference play thus far. Their issue on defense has been fouling, but Fordham is 364th out of 365 in FTA/FGA's so they shouldn't take advantage of that.

Take the under here.
