Taking VCU here. Off 3 straight losses. But look at the competition. Cincy, Georgia Tech, Florida State. Clearly not playing push-overs. Buffalo off 2 straight home wins over Binghamton (2-8) and Montana State who gives up over 80ppg. Lost by 21 at Iowa, 23 at Duke. Lost by 19 at Old Dominion, who VCU beat by 9 here. A 22pt loser at St Joes. They have a pair of neutral court wins over NC A&T and Vermont. VCU needs a big win here and the Bulls are a perfectly wrapped Christmas gift for them to get at home. 5* Best Bet VCU
