College Basketball Picks 12/29

Brown vs. Northwestern: Northwestern has been a surprise to many this year in the non-conference part of the season. A point loss to a top-25 Auburn team and a 7-4 record against the spread. According to Haslametrics, Northwestern is the thirty-fifth most efficient offense and defense in the country. On the contrary, Brown is ranked 227 in both those categories. Northwestern can shoot the three-ball, around 33%, and make free throws hitting approximately 73%.
I am taking Northwestern -14.5 and Over 123.5

Penn State has been solid this year and will finish its non-conference schedule with Delaware State. Ranked 34th in the Kenpom and with a 7-4-1 record, they have surprised many teams in the Big Ten. Delaware State comes to State College posting a 4-6 record ATS. Many overlook their schedule, but they took a quality Villanova to the final minutes in November. 
I am taking Delaware State +30.5 and Under 135.5

San Francisco vs. Santa Clara: The Dons have been solid this year, having wins over ranked Arizona State and a quality Wichita State team. They are 7-7 against the spread and matching up against a Santa Clara team with 6-8 ATS. Santa Clara is coming from two quality wins against Boise State and Cal. San Francisco is ranked 85 on the Kenpom, and Santa Clara is ranked 99. This bay area matchup is an excellent test for both these squads as this is their first action in WCC play.
I am taking San Francisco +2.5 and Over 149.5
