VMI vs. UCF
By Evan Abrams
UCF is coming off a title in the Skyscanner Legends Classic by beating Pitt and Quinnipiac. The Knights also have a victory over Texas A&M to start the new campaign 6-1.
However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows for the Knights, as they allowed Vanderbilt to break 105 points, Oakland to drop 83 and Quinnipiac to score 91.
Their defense is a work in progress.
But that's not the only reason VMI is the play for this affair in Orlando, Florida.
My system — "Betting The Bad" says the underdogs are the move. More importantly, that system has a 2% all-time return on investment (ROI) and a 26% ROI (16-8-1 record) this season alone.
In college basketball, teams that have struggled against the spread and are coming off a decisive loss often become undervalued by the market, particularly when facing large double-digit spreads.
After repeated poor performances, oddsmakers tend to overadjust, creating opportunities for motivated teams to outperform expectations even without winning outright.
The combination of public bias against losing teams and the natural tendency for effort and variance to stabilize makes these spots profitable over time.
By backing teams that appear to be playing poorly but are priced at their lowest point, this system identifies where perception has drifted too far from performance reality, leading to consistent value against inflated lines.
Pick: VMI +24.5
Kansas City vs. Weber State
Kansas City has a trip up to Weber State to take the Wildcats as it looks for its second victory of the season.
The Kangaroos are +11.5 on Saturday (as of writing at DraftKings), but the odds should be closer to Weber State -7 based on our site's projections.
There's also value on the moneyline, but to play it safe, target the spread.
Pick: Kansas City +11.5

Wofford vs. Eastern Kentucky
Eastern Kentucky is just 1-5 this season, with its lone victory coming against Midway University, so if it seems strange that I'm playing it as one our of Action Network "best bets" for Saturday, bear with me.
We're getting great value on this line, as despite losing five in a row, the Colonels have an edge both in our Action PRO Projections and on Bart Torvik.
Our projections say that Eastern Kentucky should be favored by four points on the spread, compared to its current status as an underdog (+1.5 at the time of writing at BetMGM). That's an A+ grade on our scale.
Meanwhile, Bart Torvik has the Colonels as over a five-point favorite, giving us even more of an edge to the current line as of writing.
The Colonels haven't played since Monday and they have the home-court advantage coming off their mini holiday break. Both of those factors lead me to betting Eastern Kentucky to snap its losing streak.
Pick: Eastern Kentucky +1.5 (Play to -4)
