ULTRA-EARLY 10* DESTRUCTION (+$10K ALL CBB YTD!)
(NCAAB) Florida International vs. Western Kentucky,
Point Spread: 17.50 | -110.00 Florida International (Away)
Result: Win
The set-up: Clearly WKU is the better team. The Hilltoppers are 16-5, but I don't think they're going to be able to cover this large spread. The FIU Panthers are 9-15. FIU won't be lacking for motivation after losing six in a row. The Panthers average 74.9 PPG, and they allow 76.

The pick: WKU comes in complacent here after winning seven of its last eight, including a 91-58 blowout victory over FIU in its last outing. Winning can lead to complacency (especially at the Collegiate level), and that's what I'm expecting here. With a final home series vs. fourth place ODU up next, this also sets up as a "look-ahead" spot for the home side. I like FIU to keep this one a lot closer than what this spread would suggest.

This is a 10* DESTRUCTION on Florida International.
