Saturday's Picks 12/11/2010

Featured Play: Tennessee + 7.5 (4x)

The Tennessee Volunteers vs the Pitt Panthers is the Featured play today. Tennessee took down Villanova. Villanova and Pitt have a lot of similarities. They both have great guards and are not as strong at C and PF. Tennessee’s Tobias Harris will give Pitt match up problems. As long as Hopson and Goins can keep Wanamaker and Gibbs around there averages, I see the Volunteers covering the spread.

Other Plays:

Washington -1 (3x)

The Washington Huskies come in as the highest scoring team in the NCAA, averaging 95.5 points a game. Texas A&M’s one quality win was a 54 to 51 win over Temple. The Huskies will score and win this game.

Detroit Titans -6 (3x)

Detroit is just too talented to not cover the -6 spread. Ray McCallum, Chase Simon and Eli Holman will get the job done vs the 1 and 7 Eagles.

Atlanta Hawks -3.5 (3x)

We are going with the home team here. The Pacers have not won in Atlanta since 2006 and have struggled on the road all year. The Hawks are averaging 109.3 ppg and shooting a ridiculous 50.3% at home.

Miami Heat -9 (4x)

The Heat have won 7 games in a row and have been winning by double digit points in each of those wins. Miami has won 12 of the past 13 meetings against Sacramento. The Kings have been terrible all year and star point guard, Tyreke Evans has been battling an injury all season. Take the Heat.

Kentucky Wildcats -7 1st Half (3x)

Dayton Flyers +11.5 (4x)

Duke -8 2nd Half (2x)

Friday Recap: 0-1 (-3x)

If you had a chance to watch the game, you would have felt the frustration. After closing out the first half on a great run, the Hawkeyes came out in the second looking like a completely different team. They turned the ball over, missed layups, missed free throws, and just flat out sucked. The one highlight from watching the game was seeing Christopherson on Iowa State put on a shooting clinic. It was really one of the best displays of shooting I have ever seen. And of course when the game was on the line with 40 seconds left, Iowa's defense rotates and acts like Christopherson is Tijan Jobe and leaves him wide open. Of course he buried it. It amazes me at how little basketball IQ college players have sometimes. But we are putting this one behind us and we have a big day coming up. Come back in a little bit for our Saturday picks.

Friday's Picks 12/10/2010

Featured Play:

Iowa Hawkeyes -1.5 (3x)

We like the Hawkeyes today over in state rival Iowa State. Neither team is good, everyone knows that. Since it's basically a toss up on talent, we are giving the edge to the home team. That's it.

Thursday's Recap: 3-1 (+8.1x)

Good day for the team yesterday. We improved to 3-0 in our NFL picks. The Colts outplayed the the Titans and Peyton had a great game like predicted. Thank god for the moneyline because the Titans scored a meaningless touchdown at the end and covered the spread. The over was also covered by quite a bit, with neither defense being able to really shut the other team down. The Mavs continued to roll by covering over the Nets. The only loss of the night was Georgetown, who just couldn't grab the lead at the end and eventually fell to Temple. Overall, great day for betting and we hope you made some green.

Thursday's Picks 12/9/2010

Featured Play:

Indianapolis Colts Moneyline (5x)

We like the Colts tonight against the Titans. The Colts haven't lost 4 games in a row in 9 years. Peyton hasn't looked good over the past three games, but he is going against a defense that is ranked 23rd against the pass. This should allow one of the league's best quarterbacks to get back on track. Take the Colts moneyline tonight.

Other Plays:

Indianapolis Colts + Tennessee Titans Over 44.5 (4x)

Neither teams are known for their defense. The Colts' pass defense is really good, but they are one of the worst rush defenses in the league. That's not a good combination for going up against one of the best running backs in the league. Although we think the Colts will win this game, it should be a high scoring one and they will combine for over 44.5 points.

Georgetown -1.5 (3x)

Georgetown has been playing very well this season, led by senior Austin Freeman. They have been shooting the ball at a very high percentage, and they will need to continue that against Temple's tough defense. We think that this will be a close game, but Georgetown should pull it out in the end with help from some late free throws.

Dallas Mavericks -10 (5x)

The Mavericks are one of the best teams in the league this year, and they are favored big tonight at home against the Nets. The Nets have improved off their record from last year, but are still 2-10 on the road and coming off a big road loss at Atlanta. Take the Dirk and the Mavs.
