Brett's Friday Night College Basketball "HAMMER DOWN" Premium 3-Game Package - Game 1
Houston Cougars (6-1) vs Bryant Bulldogs (3-4)

Houston -22.5
The Byrant Bulldogs will travel to the Fertitta Center to take on the 15th ranked Houston Cougars and I like Houston to cover this large home spread.
Bryant is one of the better teams in the NEC, however, the Bulldogs have really struggled on the defensive end this season as they come into this game ranked just 225th in scoring defense & 230th in rebound margin.
Houston has been outstanding on both ends of the court this season as they come into this game ranked 54th in FG%, 10th in scoring defense, & 30th in defensive FG%
The Bulldogs are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. The Cougars are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
Bryant lost to both Clemson & Rhode Island by 19+ points and between the fact that Houston has already beaten Virginia by 20 at home this season and that the Cougars have an offense that should put up plenty of points against Bryant, I think Houston pulls away in the 2nd half in this one and covers his large spread. Good Luck!
Brett’s Pick Houston Cougars: -22.5 -110
