College Basketball pick today: Alabama Crimson Tide -2 over North Carolina Tar Heels (-110), 3:30 pm ET
This should be a fun game involving two KenPom top-25 teams. Both teams have top 20 offenses in KenPom's adjusted offensive efficiency, but Alabama ranks 19th in defensive efficiency, whereas North Carolina ranks 50th. More specifically, Alabama's transition defense could be the difference in this game. Per Synergy, Alabama ranks in the 82nd percentile in transition defense, while North Carolina ranks in just the 31st percentile. Given that both teams like to play fast on offense, Alabama's defense should give them the edge.

NFL pick today: Seattle Seahawks -4 over Las Vegas Raiders (-110), 4:05 pm ET
This game is likely to stay close and could actually turn into a bit of a track meet. Should it come down to that, we are going to have to side with the quarterback who has been more consistent from game to game and that's more Geno Smith than Derek Carr. While the Seahawks are just 1-1 against the spread as favorites, they are 3-1 against the spread at home this season and should be able to clamp down on the Raiders offense enough to escape with the win and the cover.
