| CBB | (657) South Alabama at (658) Arkansas State: Spread | 3:00pm EST - Feb 14/2026 |
The PLAY: Arkansas State -7.5 (-115)
My son used to play high-school basketball with Adam Olsen of South Alabama. As a result, I watched Olsen dominate in person numerous times. He's an excellent player who has helped lead the Jaguars to an 18-7 record. As impressive as they've been, I feel that Olsen and the Jags are in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
I've successfully played on the Red Wolves in each of their past two games. They haven't just won, they've dominated. Scores of 91-54 and 103-70. Prior to the first of those wins, I said this of Arkansas State: "The Red Wolves had a lot of change from last year's 25-win team but they've got a lot of talent. They've now had time for the players to learn the system and are coming off a road win at Coastal Carolina. They'll make the most of the break from conference play and win their second straight ..."
Now off three straight wins, the Red Wolves are full of confidence and playing their best basketball of the season. Expect them to avenge the earlier OT loss in relatively decisive fashion.
Ben Burns is the #1 CBB handicapper again this season. Better yet, he's #1 of All-Time

| CBB | (869) Yale at (870) Dartmouth: Spread | 7:00pm EST - Feb 13/2026 |
The PLAY: Yale -8.5 (-115)
The Bulldogs were laying -15.5 for the game at Yale but because Friday's rematch is at Dartmouth, we get a smaller line. However, the Big Green haven't really shown any sort of home court advantage; they're 5-5 at home, 5-6 on the road. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are a healthy 6-2 on the road. Yale, still the best team in the Ivy League, has defeated Dartmouth six straight times. Five of those six victories came by at least 15 points. This should be another double-digit win for the Bulldogs.
