Unranked home teams vs ranked teams

So last night there were 5 and they went 3-2 (with the home favorite winning). Wins were Penn State, Illinois, Texas A&M. Losses were BC and Georgia Tech. Although I don't really count Georgia Tech because my rule with this system has always been to AVOID Duke games.

Tonight there are a bunch of them.
Northwestern +4-
Loyola-Chicago +6-
Virginia +16
Rhode Island +1-
St John's +12-
USC +1
Wisconsin -6-

My inclination is to avoid the UVA/UNC game because of UNC's superiority and the fact that UVA's home crowd stinks. Also don't really like to play double digit spreads. I also usually avoid the Loyola's of the world. It seems to me that Wisconsin, Rhode Island and USC are the best of this bunch. Northwestern might not be too bad - but don't know about their home environment.

So - playing Wisconsin, USC and URI. Should I play NW?

i normally would love wisconsin in this spot..unranked team favoured over ranked team, but the majority at espn streak for the cash are on wisconsin

Isn't that just because they are a 6 point favorite? Everyone was on G'Town last night too.

What does that have to do with anything?

no..doesn't mean anything about being favourite or not..the majority had 6 point dogs california against washington on saturday..surprisingly california pulled that game out of their azzes..90 some percent was also on 3 point dogs citadel the other day..that one they didn't get so lucky with
