Clemson ML -130 for 3units
Was hoping Clemson was going to be a small fave here as they are -1 or -1.5 in most places with Virginia getting 89% of the early action. Clemson lost 65-61 @ Virginia not long ago but that was without Milton Jennings. Jennings has averaged 14.5pts last two games and stepping up like a former McD All American should. Combine that with the fact that Joe Harris broke his non shooting hand and is a game time decision (19pts against Clemson and 12.5ppg average and 4.1 reb average), I think we have some value here. Virginia also has dropped last 2 on the road and I think they go for 3 here. Im a big Tony Bennet fan so dont like going against him but this is Clemson's GOY to date and have been playing better every game. The game also fits system play of take small home favorite vs road ranked dog.
Texas Tech +4 2units
Not a lot of hard evidence to support this pick other than I think its time for TT to win one at home over A&M. A&M has seemed to own the series but I think TT has a chance for the outright home win. Its Rivarly Week, anything can happen with the home teams!
