The American Athletic Conference regular-season champion will be decided Sunday when Wichita State hosts Cincinnati in a nationally-televised showdown that tips at 12 p.m. ET. Wichita State is favored by three points after the game opened as a pick'em.
In this huge AAC battle that features two teams desperately looking for a victory, you need to see what former Vegas bookmaker Micah Roberts has to say.
Earlier this week, he told readers to lay 13.5 points with Cincinnati on the road against Tulane. The result: The Bearcats cruised to a 29-point victory, giving Roberts an easy cash with plenty of room to spare.
That win improved Roberts to a strong 8-3 over his last 11 college basketball picks. Anyone who has followed his picks is up big.
Part of his success: Roberts has worked in the Las Vegas sports book industry for over 18 years, including a 13-year run as Station Casinos' book director. He can spot a bad line from a mile away.
Now, he's analyzed Cincinnati vs. Wichita State from every possible angle and locked in his pick. He's sharing it over at SportsLine.
Roberts has taken into account Wichita State's strong recent performances. The 11th-ranked Shockers are riding a seven-game win streak, which includes an impressive road victory over the Bearcats.
They've done it thanks to an efficient offense. The Shockers, who have scored at least 84 points in five of their past seven games, are averaging 83.9 this season.
But just because Wichita State's offense has been explosive thus far this season doesn't mean they can cover on Sunday.
The Shockers are just 1-4 against the spread in their past five games. Meanwhile, Cincinnati is 8-1 in its past nine road games and boasts a defense that holds opponents to an abysmal 37.1 shooting percentage, the second lowest mark in the nation.
Roberts is leaning Under, but he knows the line in this game is way off.
