Opening day of the college basketball season is filled with a bunch of paper mismatches, as larger programs hope to get their seasons off on the right foot before tougher games down the road.
Just once glance at the slate of games Monday and the betting spreads show nothing but double-digit home favorites across the board. Some — like Baylor (-44.5) against Mississippi Valley State — are larger than others — Villanova (-15.5) against La Salle.
But they’re going to play these games for a reason.
Below is a look at my top three underdogs with a chance to upset a top 25 team on Monday.
