NIAGRA PURPLE EAGLES +2.5 over Buffalo-----Niagra has the home-off-road-loss and........we'll try to step into a much better basketball season than last year;  Note the Georgia Southern Eagles almost beating Miami on Nov 11th even though they were 15.5-point underdogs.(Win 92-81.......Antoine Mason 25pts)

OREGON STATE BEAVERS -6.5 over Portland Pilots-----I'm not sure how Oregon St lost to Coppin on Sunday.   But this is not a team that should be losing many games.(Lose 79-73........2nd time in 4 days I lose by 1/2 point)
