Weird scheduling in the loop this week, with only one Thursday game. Need to pay more attention, I guess!

PEP (+9.5) v. USF. First meeting of the season between the two teams. The Dons have managed to hold serve against the lower half of the conference, which is a must if they still want to compete for that #2 seed and the bye all the way to Monday night in Vegas (aside: that bye to the semifinals remains flat out ridiculous. Zags should be ashamed for making that happen). Coach CG will have his squad ready in Malibu. $165 on USF to get the double-digit road win.
