Free College Basketball Pick: Jacksonville state -6.5 (Wunderdog Sports)
Chattanooga suffered a lot of losses from a year ago as the top four scorers have departed. They have won three games, but they were certainly very soft, confidence-building type games, but the reality is that this team is going to struggle early as they regain identity and experience. Jacksonville State showed signs of getting it together, dropping a close one vs. Georgia by just three. Trenton Marshall has delivered 17.4 points per game. James Green in his second year has shown the ability to make great strides wherever he has been. He turned Southern Miss from 12-15 to 22-11, and Mississippi Valley State from 9-19 to 18-16, so this team will grow from their 11-17 mark a year ago. Marshall just adds to the pieces in place as he was an All-American JUCO and has emerged their best player. I like Jacksonville State here who is simply ahead of where the Mocs are right now by a great distance.

Free College Basketball Pick: Western Michigan +5 (John Ryan)
Ai Simulator 3* graded play on Western Michigan as they take on Temple set to start at 7:00 EST. AiS shows a 70% probability that Western Michigan will lose this game by 4 or fewer points. Temple, based on the AiS projections, has an 85% probability of shooting between 40 and 46%. WMU is a solid 41-23 ATS (+15.7 Units) in home games when their opponents make 40% to 46% of their shots in a game since 1997. Temple is just not a good 3-point shooting team at all hitting just 25% on 4 for 17 shooting. They are also only hitting 62% from the charity stripe. This will enable WMU to simply pack in the zone defense into the paint area and force Temple to shoot from the perimeter. WMU HC Hawkins is a solid 14-5 ATS (+8.5 Units) in home games after playing a game as a road favorite as the coach of WMU. Take WMU.
