Point Spread: +6½/-110 Davidson

Result: Win

Taking DAVIDSON here. This is going to be a great year for this Wildcats team. All 5 starters back and its top 8 scorers and rebounders are back. This team won 25 games last year and lost a tough one to Louisville in the dance. This is an experienced team. Jake Cohen and Nic Cochran are pre-season All-Southern Conference selections. De'Mon Brooks is the POY candidate. New Mexico has to replace its leading score and 6th man. This is no knock on New Mexico. I just think this is too many points. This is like one of those Bracket Buster games in mid-February, but it's the first Monday of the season on ESPN. 5* DAVIDSON
