Each and every year, the 24 hours of college basketball and the College Hoops Marathon is one of the most intriguing activities of the year. This is a chance to see some teams from all across the country showcasing their skills early in the regular season. Join us here at Bankroll Sports for all of the college basketball previews for all of the games that are on tap with the 24 hours of college hoops schedule!

12:00 AM: West Virginia Mountaineers @ Gonzaga Bulldogs
West Virginia vs. Gonzaga Picks, Predictions, and Preview: The Bulldogs and the Mountaineers kick off the classic here at midnight, and it should be a raucous crowd at the Kennel. This is one of the toughest places to go play college basketball, and West Virginia is going to figure that out. This is going to be the first time that the Mountaineers play under the Big XII banner, and it is one of the tough games in a very difficult non-conference schedule. Meanwhile, the Zags hardly ever lose at home, and they just keep getting richer and richer. Elias Harris and Kevin Pangos are back to lead this club, but freshman Przemek Karnowski might become a huge threat off of the bench. This is a game that should go to the hosts.

2:00 AM: Davidson Wildcats @ New Mexico Lobos
Davidson vs. New Mexico Picks, Predictions, and Preview: Davidson and New Mexico both have ideas of making the NCAA Tournament this year, and this might prove to be a great game for the winner to stick on their resume come March Madness. Davidson is opening up with a ton of games on the road this year, and this is going to be one of the toughest ones to prepare for in The Pit. It’s especially tough knowing that this is the first game of the season for the Lobos. If the Mountain West really does have the capabilities of sending perhaps three teams into the Sweet 16 this year, this is a game that New Mexico should take.

4:00 AM: Houston Baptist Huskies @ Hawaii Warriors
Houston Baptist vs. Hawaii Picks, Predictions, and Preview: The Warriors seemingly always have the 4:00 AM game in the 24 hours of college basketball schedule, and this year is no exception. They’ve got a couple cupcake victories under their belts already, and this should be yet another one before some of the real games come up. This is one of the many games that the Huskies have to play this year just to make a schedule come together. They only won 10 games last year, and this won’t be a game that they win either.

6:00 AM: Stony Brook Seawolves @ Rider Broncs
Stony Brook vs. Rider Picks, Predictions, and Preview: This has the potential to be one of the better games that you don’t see coming in the 2012 College Basketball Marathon. The Seawolves won 22 games last year and the regular season America East title. Rider wasn’t a fantastic club last year at 13-19, but what they do have now is a superstar in the making in Nurideen Lindsey, who scored 26 points in his debut with the Broncs against Robert Morris. This should be a great contrast of styles, and it will be interesting to see whether Lindsey and the Broncs can run against Stony Brook or not. Give the upset here to the host Broncs out of the Metro Atlantic, a team you might want to keep a close eye on as the season wears on.

8:00 AM: Northern Illinois Huskies @ Valparaiso Crusaders
Northern Illinois vs. Valparaiso Picks, Predictions, and Preview: The Huskies haven’t been great in quite some time, and this year appears to be no exception after losing to Nebraska Omaha to start off the season. Valpo on the other hand, is getting some votes for the Top 25 already, and this should prove to be nothing more than another step in the right direction for a budding program out of the Horizon League. There’s a lot of hope that the Crusaders can be on the top half of the bracket this year, and this is a game that will help out and move them to 2-0.

10:00 AM: Harvard Crimson @ Massachusetts Minutemen
Harvard vs. UMass Picks, Predictions, and Preview: The Crimson finally won the Ivy League last year and got into the NCAA Tournament, and many think that they can get back this year as well. Of course, after the academic scandal that shocked the university, there is just one starter back from last year’s club. This is still a talented team for sure, but the Minutemen are the better team. UMass came on strong last year and won 25 games, and it should put away the Crimson in a tough, defensive showdown in the 10:00 AM hour.

12:00 PM: Temple Owls @ Kent State Golden Flashes
Temple vs. Kent State Picks, Predictions, and Preview: Temple figures to contend for the A-10 crown once again this year before heading off to the Big East, but the school has a lot of work to do in this one to take down the Golden Flashes. Kent State won 21 games last year and already has a win over Drexel to its credit this year, and it is going to hope to snare another big time scalp in this one. Unfortunately for the Flashes, they probably don’t have the goods to be able to hold off a very talented Temple side that has a lot of experience.

2:00 PM: Detroit Titans @ St. John’s Red Storm
Detroit vs. St. John’s Picks, Predictions, and Preview: Head Coach Steve Lavin has referred to his Red Storm as “deep and balanced” this year, but we just don’t see it. Detroit would love to be able to come to Carnesecca Arena and log a victory for the Horizon League, and it just might be able to do it. Ray McCallum and Doug Anderson figure to lead the way for this team in scoring, and these two have the talent to stand up to a bottom of the barrel team from the Big East. The Titans could prove to pull off the “titanic” upset at the Johnnies’ house.

4:00 PM: Butler Bulldogs @ Xavier Musketeers
Butler vs. Xavier Picks, Predictions, and Preview: Picking up Rotnei Clarke from Arkansas might be just the thing to make Butler a contender once again this year. Xavier is going to be a tough place to go into for a 4:00 PM game, but the Cintas Center is beatable for the little guys. The Bulldogs are going to have to put together a yeoman’s effort. We think that they’ll come close, but in the end, the X-Men are probably going to have a little too much in this one to be beaten.

7:00 PM: Michigan State Spartans vs. Kansas Jayhawks
Michigan State vs. Kansas Picks, Predictions, and Preview: And now start the big time games! The Spartans were beaten in their first game of the season against Connecticut, and now, Head Coach Tom Izzo and the gang have to go to take on one of the best teams in America. Head Coach Bill Self has the Jayhawks ready for this date in Atlanta, and it should be a good one for sure. We’re going to give the nod to the Spartans with their veteran leadership to bounce back and prove that they belong over Kansas, a team that we still have a heck of a lot of respect for.

9:30 PM: Duke Blue Devils vs. Kentucky Wildcats
Duke vs. Kentucky Picks, Predictions, and Preview: Finally comes the biggest game of the 24 hours of college hoops, the clash of the titans, the Blue Devils and Wildcats. If you’ve made it this far without sleep, you’ll make it through, knowing that this very well could be a Final Four preview. Kentucky had its challenge from Maryland to start the year, but the club is still clearly ridiculously talented. Duke had a cohesive start to the season against Georgia State, and the Blue Devils might have the goods to take down a Kentucky team that clearly has some holes.

Massive NFL point spreads are the theme of the Week 10 NFL betting lines, as there are a number of games that are expected to be blowouts. After one of the most public weeks in the history of NFL betting action though, we know that there are probably some NFL upsets that are going to be in the cards this coming week.

The team that opens up the weekend as the biggest favorite is the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners are coming off of their bye week, and they are taking on the easiest foe in their division, the St. Louis Rams. Head Coach Jeff Fisher and the gang aren’t going to go down easily, even if this game is played on the road and in front of one of the best crowds in the league. Still, getting 11.5 points is a ton to start with, and we have seen St. Louis stick around with some big time spreads on its side this year. The 49ers are most certainly on notice that this is going to be a tough game.

The other double digit favorites this week are the New England Patriots. The Pats have just rolled right through some foes this year, but the last we saw of them, they needed overtime to take down the Jets right here at Gillette Stadium in a similar game. The Brady Bunch is coming off of its bye week, and it gets a Buffalo Bills team that just isn’t all that great. The Bills were blasted by a dozen last week by the Texans on the road, and this is likely going to be the fourth massive beating that they have taken on the road this year.

One of the more intriguing early games on Sunday pits the Denver Broncos against the Carolina Panthers. Carolina is probably out of the playoff picture at this point in spite of last week’s win over the Redskins, but the interesting part of this is that Head Coach John Fox is returning to his old stomping grounds with his new and improved team. The Broncos are clearly one of the best teams in the AFC this year, but this is a long road trip against a team that is hungry and talented in spite of its iffy 2-6 record. Carolina is getting four points at home, and we can already tell that this is going to be the exact same situation that the Broncos were in last week when they beat the Cincinnati Bengals. These same Bengals are getting four for the second straight week at home against the New York Giants as well.

This is the week that the rubber might meet the road for a number of potential playoff teams in the AFC. The Miami Dolphins dipped to .500 last week, and they badly need to beat the Tennessee Titans at home as six-point favorites to keep their season alive. The Baltimore Ravens are also favored by 7.5 at M&T Bank Stadium against the Oakland Raiders, one of the hungriest teams in the league.

Thanks to Monday Night Football, this week still has two very important games that are listed as off the board. The New Orleans Saints are going to take on the Atlanta Falcons, and the truth of the matter is that QB Drew Brees and the gang very well could ultimately be favored over the 8-0 Falcons, who are still clearly getting no respect in spite of the fact that they very well could be halfway to a perfect season. The other game is going to see the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles go at each other. Both teams are still in the race in the NFC East, but neither has to feel comfortable right now. Both are on the outside of the playoffs looking in, and that makes this one all the more important. We expect to see the Eagles as short favorites in this game, though Dallas has been getting a lot of respect on the NFL odds of late.

And then there are the primetime games though, which are all going to be very important games. We’ll start on Thursday, when the Indianapolis Colts are three-point road favorites on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags are one of the worst teams in the league, and they are still going to be playing without RB Maurice Jones-Drew. However, Indy is the team of the hour, clearly, knowing that it has a chance to get to 6-3 this year and firmly in control of its own destiny for a spot in the playoffs this year.

Football Night in America this week might be a Super Bowl 47 preview. The Chicago Bears and Houston Texans know that this game isn’t the end of the world at the moment, as both teams are clearly on their way to the playoffs, likely as division champs. The winner is going to feel a heck of a lot better than the loser though, knowing that Colts in the AFC South and the Packers and Vikings in the NFC North aren’t all that far off the heels of the two respective division leaders. This is expected to be one of the best games of the weekend, knowing that both of these teams are clearly in the Top 5 teams in all of football. The Bears are going to be laying 1.5 at the outset of the week at home, but this one clearly could go either way on the NFL point spreads.

Finally, Monday Night Football this week, could be a disaster for the Kansas City Chiefs and Head Coach Romeo Crennel. Poor Crennel hasn’t even been the coach for a full year of this team, but in the end, he is expected to get dismissed sooner than later. His team has been brutalized in virtually every spot this year, and the Chiefs haven’t even led for a single second in a game this year. Odds have it, this won’t be the week that this changes either, as the Pittsburgh Steelers are favored by 11.5 points against the Chiefs at Heinz Field.

‘Totals’ this week are going to be spread all over the place. As expected, the highest ‘total’ of the weekend to this point pits the Patriots against the Bills. We have seen New England’s offense score oodles of points against virtually anyone in the league, and we have seen the Bills give up at least 45 three times this year. That’s why this is featuring an over/under of 51. We do expect to see the Atlanta/New Orleans game featuring a ‘total’ in the 50s as well, quite possibly higher than this Buffalo/New England game as well.

The low end ‘totals’ of the weekend are both in the 30s, and that is relatively rare, knowing that the mass majority of games are in the 40s this year. The New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks are seeing their ‘total’ sitting at 38.5, while the same number is hanging on the board right now for the Rams and 49ers.
