Dan Karpuc: Gonzaga -5.5 1H vs. Michigan State
I’m going to break my personal “never bet on a game that is played on an aircraft carrier” rule for this one. Drew Timme could be in the NBA right now and he’s spearheading a Gonzaga squad that is far superior to and deeper than Michigan State. Here at BetQL, Brian “The Prodigy” Hunt taught me that betting over Gonzaga’s first-half point total is usually a good idea, but in this one, I’m going to target the first-half spread and predict that the Bulldogs will be leading by six or more at the intermission. Playing in this setting will favor the more experienced squad, and Timme’s presence on both ends of the court should make the difference.

Brad Pinkerton: Gonzaga-Michigan State Under 146.5

If this game were being played indoors under normal conditions, then "over" would be a strong bet here. But it's not -- it's being played outside on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific Ocean, of course. These two teams are already tasked with finding their offensive identity early in the season, and you know Michigan State will slow the pace to keep Gonzaga in check because, well, that's what Tom Izzo does. Add in the outdoor elements and you've got a recipe for an under here.

Lucy Burdge: Purdue -24 vs. Austin Peay
Purdue just beat Milwaukee, 84-53, and Austin Peay just lost to N.C. State, 99-50, so I see Purdue getting another big win over the Governors. Austin Peay also went 12-17 last season and the expectations for them to be competitive should not be high after the N.C. State game, if they weren’t low already. I think Purdue can get a comfortable win here and cover this spread at home after a confident open to their season, and BetQL agrees, rating Purdue -24 as a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ pick.
