 Davidson is having an excellent season as the team is off to a 12-4 overall mark and 3-0 conference start. The club has won three straight games. St Joe's is not having a good season with just a 7-9 overall mark and 0-4 record to start Atlantic-10 play. The Davidson Wildcats are 3-0 in conference play for the first time since joining the A-10 in 2014-15. Davidson also ranks 9th nationally in free throw percentage. St Joe's will try and snap that four game losing streak tonight. The Hawks are also just 1-7 ATS their last eight games. That includes home losses to George Washington (56-70, 12-point favorite), 60-85 to George Mason (7-point favorite) and a 26-point loss at St Bonaventure as a 1.5-point dog. This is not a good Hawks team and now they face one of the best in the Atlantic-10. Lay the points with Davidson

 MAC action here on Tuesday has Ball State at Bowling Green. Ball State will try to snap a two game S/U and ATS skid. The Cardinals are 10-6 on the season and 1-2 in MAC play. Ball State will play four of the next five conference games on the road beginning with tonight's contest. Bowling Green brings a seven game win streak into today's contest. The Falcons have also won eight of the last 10 games in this series with the Cardinals. This is the first time in Bowling Green history that the school has started 3-0 in conference play. This will be the only time these clubs meet this regular season and I like the team that his hot here. That's Bowling Green.

American Athletic Conference play here tonight has South Florida at Cincinnati. South Florida is 11-5 S/U and 10-5 ATS on the season. But most important, the Bulls are a perfect 5-0 ATS on the road. USF is 2-2 S/U and 4-0 ATS so far in conference play. They are coming off an OT loss at Temple, 80-82 as 9-point dogs. Cincinnati is 14-3 S/U and 8-9 ATS on the season. The Bearcats are 0-3 ATS in their last three games, all conference matchups. The Bearcats lone conference loss came at East Carolina, 71-73 as 17.5-point favorites. The Bearcats have very much under performed when it comes to the spread this year. You have to look no further than their last three games including that East Carolina contest. Meanwhile, South Florida has been great for bettors. I'm taking the points here on Tuesday with the Bulls. Play South Florida.
