    Analysis

    Hammered already by the likes of Wisconsin and Wake Forrest, stepping up in class looks to be painful for the Camels. So far, new HC John Andrzejek (via Todd Golden's Florida staff) and his expected go-go offense has mostly misfired, especially beyond the arc where Campbell only hits 26.8%, with Robert Morris transfer G DJ Smith still firing almost 8 triples pg to little avail. Then there is defense (or there isn't), allowing more than 80 ppg--ranking 297th in scoring. Meanwhile, Big Ten sources say Mike Rhoades has the 7-1 Nittany Lions on the upswing, scoring at nearly 83 ppg while hitting almost 51% from the floor, while five scored DDs in Saturday's 90-59 romp past Sacred Heart. Play Penn State

    Analysis

    This is a huge revenge game for the road team. Montreal defeated the Senators in overtime last month despite Ottawa holding a 3-2 lead in the third period. Ottawa is ranked 4th in shots allowed per game and has a +11 shot differential, while the Canadiens are ranked 17th with a -66 shot differential. The Senators rank first in Face-off win percentage, while Montreal is ranked 14th. Ottawa has four one-goal losses out of their last five defeats, while Montreal has had two one-goal losses out of their previous five. The Senators are almost at full strength with Brady Tkachuk back on the ice. Montreal will be without defenseman Jayden Struble, who missed Monday’s practice. I have Ottawa 14 spots higher in my power rankings.

    Analysis

    Always very tough to sweep a home-and-home in the NHL, with Boston beating visiting Detroit 3-2 in a shootout on Saturday. The Wings outshot and B's and won the faceoff circle. Bruins superstar David Pastrnak missed that and won't play Tuesday, either. We may get B's lesser goalie Joonas Korpisalo after it was Jeremy Swayman on Saturday but I'm fine either way (prefer JK). Boston is under .500 away. The Wings need a little momentum on a four-game skid and with a crazy-tough road trip up next. They need to get the power play going after having five chances on Saturday, including one for a full two minutes in overtime, and couldn't score.

    Analysis

    George Mason is the best mid-major team I’ve seen and I love this matchup. Head coach Tony Skinn has done a great job luring power conference talent to George Mason. The Patriots have a massive edge defensively in this game. Cornell has scored at least 86 points in six of seven games. However, that was against bad competition. What stands out to me is the one game where they faced a competent defense versus Illinois State. The Redbirds held Cornell to 65 points and 19.4% from three-point range. The Big Red live and die by the three-pointer and will face a Patriots’ defense holding opponents to only 27% from beyond the arc. I’ll back George Mason to roll at home. Bet up to -12.5.

    Analysis

    Half Unit Play. I like this spot for Notre Dame. Missouri has played one of the easiest schedules in the country so far with seven home games and a lone road game at Howard. The Tigers have faced just one team ranked in KenPom’s Top 230 and that was 4-4 Minnesota. I like the Irish this season and I thought they played pretty well in losses to Ohio State, Houston and Kansas away from home. I think this is a good matchup for Notre Dame facing a Missouri squad playing its first tough opponent of the season on the road. I'm making ND +1.5 a half unit play. If the line moves to 2.5 I'll add another half unit.
