MARQUETTE 160
CREIGHTON -5 (-11 powerspread), edge

UC-IRVINE 147.5 (-10 powerspread), edge
CS-NORTHRIDGE +3.5
These two games of interest show that Creighton and UC-Irvine have the edge as explained, above by statfox. Creighton is a 5 point favorite over Marquette and the power rating has them as an 11 point favorite. Likewise, UC-Irvine is a 3.5 point favorite over CS-Northridge and the power rating has them as a 10 point favorite. The Creighton games is on this Saturday at 2:30PM and the UC-Irvine at 10PM. The over is 160 in the Creighton game and 147.5 in the UC-Irvine game. But, there's currently no edge computed for the over/under.
As with any gambling system the odds are all on the house -- Creighton lost that game to Marquette, 102 to 94. That's why it's not called guarenteed wins, but games of interest. Use with caution.
