Pro Picks
Samford vs. Belmont
A tough spot for the Samford offense, playing its first road game after two home contests to open the season. Samford is 55-35 UNDER the total in non-conference games, plus 39-20 UNDER after a game where they made 55% of their shots or better. They face a terrific Belmont defense that won 26 games a year ago and is off to a 3-0 start in the new campaign. They are allowing 68.6 ppg, off a victory while allowing 31.8% shooting, just 6-of-23 from long range. They play their home opener after sweeping the DC Paradise Jam championship. College basketball home teams with two or more starters returning than their opponent are 61-31 UNDER the total in the first five games of the season. Take Samford/Belmont UNDER the total.

Pro Picks
Samford at Belmont
The Belmont Bruins have won 19 or more games for 13 straight seasons. They were a 26 game-winner last year, but lost a lot of firepower and experience from that team and bring back three starters. The normal fast pace this team likes to play at was not there in an opening season loss to Illinois State. The game saw both teams attempt a combined 123 shots. That is significant as last season the Bruins played in just 10 games that saw fewer shots attempted. Samford may go to school on that and slow the tempo so the Bruins can't get on one of their patented runs which were missing vs. Illinois State. Make the play on the UNDER.
