MISSISSIPPI
Take the points with Ole Miss tonight when they travel to take on Virginia Tech.
There?s no doubt Virginia Tech is rolling right now. They are on a 9-0 ATS run, having gone 7-2 SU during that span. But the one thing that keeps me from jumping on their bandwagon tonight is the level of competition they?ve played up to this point. Alabama-Birmingham and Morgan State are not high caliber opponents, so the margin of victory in those two games isn?t really an indicator of how good Virginia Tech is right now.
Mississippi, on the other hand, is a team that has some real value with this line. They knocked off Nebraska and UC-Santa Barbara in convincing fashion, and I feel like the Rebels are more than capable of hanging close tonight.
Sophomore guard David Huertas has been shooting well from the perimeter, which has opened up the inside for center Dwayne Curtis. If Huertas continues to shoot well tonight, not only will it allow Curtis to get good looks inside, it will help the Rebels on the offensive boards as well.
Take the points with Mississippi as they stay within the number tonight.

HAWKS
Lay the points with the Hawks tonight when they host the Bucks.
The recent trend in this series has favored the home team, which has won and covered the last five meetings.
Atlanta is also vying for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot, so look for them to give an inspired effort tonight.
Milwaukee, which lost at lowly Miami on Monday, has dropped 10 of its last 12 games SU. They are also 0-5 SUATS in the last five road games since the All-Star break.
Lay the points with the Hawks as they grab the home win and cover.
