Texas A&M Aggies ML over Ohio State Buckeyes (+104)

In what is one of the marquee games of the day, I’ll be taking the veteran-laden Texas A&M Aggies to knock off an Ohio State team that I’m lower on than the market. Buzz Williams’ team brings back 4 starters, including Wade Taylor IV, who should be a first team All-SEC player this season. That experience is paramount in a hostile environment, and I generally trust backing a team early in the season where there are less unknowns in the rotation. Ohio State is also now adapting to life without NBA first round pick Brice Sensabaugh, and they’ll face an early challenge against this A&M defense that is ranked 21st nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency per KenPom. Even at home, overcoming a lack of scoring depth and experience is a tall order.

There’s also the matter of the clear advantage on the glass that the visitors should hold. The Aggies were ranked 5th nationally in offensive rebounding percentage a season ago while Ohio State sat at #184 in opposing offensive rebounding percentage. Texas A&M kept that trend going in its season-opener, as the Aggies had 16 offensive rebounds in that game. I’d expect their ability to get to the glass to be a massive difference in this game, and it should help A&M get a huge road win here.

San Diego State Aztecs ML over BYU Cougars (+120)

At long last, the Mountain West finally saw some NCAA Tournament success in 2022-23. San Diego State is fresh off a Final Four and National Championship appearance a season ago and the Aztecs should be a force to be reckoned with within the league once again this year. The Aztecs are coming off a season-opening win over a quality Cal State Fullerton team out of the Big West, where they held Fullerton to just 20.8 percent shooting from beyond the arc. Against a team like BYU, that ability to defend the 3-pointer and make the Cougars earn points inside against a stout defensive frontcourt is what makes San Diego State and attractive play here at plus money. It helps that KenPom has San Diego State’s defense at #4 nationally in 3-point percentage a season ago, while BYU was ranked just #245 in offensive 3-point percentage. This game should be played at SDSU’s pace, so I’ll back the ‘dog on the money line.

Tennessee Volunteers vs Wisconsin Badgers Under 133.5 (-110)

This game should be played at a snails pace, and no one should be surprised by that assumption. Don’t let Wisconsin’s 105-point outburst earlier this week fool you, the Badgers are still one of the slowest teams in the nation (337th in adjusted tempo in 2022-23 per KenPom) and will likely take their sweet time against a Tennessee defense that could be one of the best in the country this season. It doesn’t help that the Badgers offense was extremely poor a season ago and I don’t expect those shooting woes to suddenly disappear against a defense of this caliber. On the other side, Tennessee is also a snail (288th in adjusted tempo) and Rick Barnes’ team is no stranger to playing in some rock fights on the hardwood. This should be a defensive struggle, so let’s go with the under.
