The NCABB Afternoon 5* side is on Syracuse. Game 712 at 2:45 eastern. The Orange should have their way today with Western Michigan from the MAC Conference as they have covered 7 of the last 8 vs MAC teams and are 4-0 ats with 5 or 6 days rest. Syracuse may have struggled down the stretch. However they are still a solid 22-3 vs winning teams. Western Michigan has failed to cover 5 of 6 after scoring 80 or more and have failed to cover 2 of 3 this year vs teams who allow 65 or less points. This will be a tough task for them against the switching defensive tactic that Boeheim uses and they have not faced a defense like this all season. Number 3 seeds off a straight up favored loss have been a solid money maker long term in NCAAB tourney play. We also want to play against teams like WMU that are off back to back wins and covers, the last a dog win by 10 or more points, vs an opponent off an ats win or ats loss. In fact any team in round 1 off back to back dog wins have been a solid play against if they are getting 3 or more points. Its all Syracuse in this one.
