Pick: Colorado +1.5
Colorado is showing some great value as an extremely small underdog at USC on Thursday. The Buffaloes have been impressive in their first season in the PAC 12, supporting a 5-2 conference record. Both losses have came on the road, but both were to very good teams in California and Stanford. I look for the Buffaloes to be extremely motivated to get their first conference road win, especially against a poor USC team that is just 5-15 overall and 0-7 in conference play. USC hasn’t won a game since beating TCU back in the middle of December. The Trojans have one of the worst offenses in the country, averaging just 54.2 ppg. They have lost each of their three conference home games by at least 9-points, and you have to wonder if this team hasn’t already thrown in the towel. Colorado head coach Tad Boyle knows how to motivate his team when they come into a game listed as an underdog. His teams are 41-24 ATS (as an underdog in all games he has coached. The Buffaloes are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5. and a perfect 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record. BET COLORADO! -Steve Janus

Pick: Wisconsin-Milwaukee -3.5
Butler has been overvalued all season and is just 4-12 ATS in lined games as a result. The Panthers lost the first meeting by 4 points on the road, but I like their chances at home, where they are 9-1 this season. Plus, the Panthers are 10-2 ATS in home games when out to avenge a road loss to an opponent over the last 3 seasons. They’re winning these games by an average of 6.0 points. The Bulldogs are 1-6-1 ATS in the last 8 in this series. Take the Panthers. -Jeff Alexander

Pick: Cal State Fullerton -6
Fullerton has a better road record than stumbling Northride has at home. The Cal State Fullerton Titans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win and 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 road games. This bad Northridge team has home court, but what has that mattered? The Matadors are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and the road team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings between these conference rivals. Play Fullerton! -Jim Feist
