5-0

Drake Bulldogs -6.5

Both Drake and Butler are going through some lineup changes.  But Drake comes in with a slight edge in terms of experience with more upperclassmen than Butler.  Probably not enough convincing by me but it's early in college basketball.  I still like Drake with the two starters from last year's squad.  Playing at home is also a key factor in this match up.

Chattanooga +16.5

Is it me or does Tennessee plays close against less than superior competition?  Although they play home and return a host of talent but I'd go with Chattanooga to keep this game close.  Tennessee also has some issues with players not playing because of injuries or academic issues.

Temple -2.5

Not much to say but Christmas is looking good pretty early.  They also impressed me on their previous game.

It's early in the college basketball season.  I promise to give more insight on games.  Just posting plays to build credibility.  But with college football still here it is hard to juggle my research time.  Oh well off to the bars.
