Love Denver here first of all Denver is 16th in the nation in FG% running the Princeton offense effectively with Senior Leadership including the key return of Rob Lewis and Brian Stafford. Lewis 6-7 225lbs should create match up problems tonight and he was not around last year as he suffered a season ending injury. Denver beat St. Maryâs, Utah State and lost in OT by 2 points to Iona so itâs very obvious that they have the talent to be very good this year. Iâm not so sure about Northern Colorado who is off a big win but against Johnson and Wales. They have lost at home to an NAIA school by 13 points at home in Westminster. They got Marquette up next and I fear they are thinking ahead. Iâll trust the more veteran led team in this match up.

South Florida +2 (2.2* bonus)
Auburn just is not ready for big time games. They opened up against 4 cupcakes and South Florida always plays well in non-conference games so I expect Auburnâs size and inability to shoot FTâs 57% on the year to really hurt them here. They should have all kinds of problems with Augustus Gilchrist tonight. South Florida will play good defense and out rebound and even out shoot Auburn at the FT line tonight.
