(NCAAB) Temple vs. Wichita State,
Money Line: -108.00 Wichita State (Home)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -108.00 Wichita State (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: Temple is 10-3 and Wichita State is just 7-6, but after back-to-back losses, I think the Shockers defend home court and bounce back this evening. Temple comes in susceptible after its three-game win streak was snapped in loss to UCF last time out. Temple averages 73.8 PPG and it allows 68.5. Wichita State is averaging 70.4 PPG and it's allowing 70.8.
The pick: Take it for what you will though, but Temple is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven vs. teams with winning records and only 2-7 ATS in its last nine after playing two consecutive road games, while Wichita State is 4-1 ATS in its last five after allowing 85 points or more in its previous contest. Play on Wichita State.

BONUS: The set-up: Philadelphia clearly can't sit back and wait for the game to come to it, it'll have to be the attacker from the outset if it has any shot at pulling off the upset. With QB Nick Foles directing the show, I believe the Eagles lay everything on the line early and I will therefore recommend this first half wager. Philadelphia looked good in its 24-0 win over a depleted Redskins team last weekend. The Bears actually helped the Eagles get into the playoffs with their Week 17 victory over the Vikings. On paper, the Bears have the better offense and slightly better defense. Foles and the Eagles though bring experience and intangibles to the table which I think are being severely undervalued.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Philadelphia is a sharp 9-2 ATS in its last 11 after two or more consecutive victories against the spread, while Chicago is 0-3 ATS in its last three off an upset win over a division rival as an underdog. Look for the Eagles to take the first half.
10* play.
