Christian's picks:
1. Rutgers Scarlet Knights
Rutgers is 8-3 (4-2 in the Big East) and UConn is 4-6 (2-3 in the Big East). Rutgers has a really good defense which is ranked 9th in the FBS rankings, allowing only 16.8 points per game. And surprisingly, their offense is not too bad either ranking 63rd with 26.7 points per game. The Scarlet Knights are coming into this game on a three-game winning streak including wins against two Big East opponents, USF (terrible in the Big East) and Cincinnati (7-3 record overall). Rutgers really needs this win to continue their hunt for 1st in the Big East. If they win today, they are tied with Louisville in Big East record (5-2) but they will have a better overall record (9-3 to 7-5). On the other side, UConn is not too good in general, scoring only 22.4 PPG and allowing 23.5 PPG. Rutgers is a 3.5 point favorite today away as well. Conclusively, Go Guidos!
2. North Carolina: Wins By Double Digits
I mean come on, it's UNC. They're kinda good.... I see Harrison Barnes, Tyler Zeller, and John Henson lighting it up today and storming past the Runnin' Rebels. Sure UNLV is 6-0 on the year but they have not played anyone worth noting and now facing powerhouse UNC, they will have their hands full. UNLV always makes the Tournament but once again, look at their division.... The Mountain West, the only good team USED to be San DiegoState. Let's take a gander at UNC's division.... The ACC, including teams such as Duke, FSU, VT, etc... UNC has beaten their opponents by an average of 22.4 points. UNC will stomp the politically incorrect Runnin' Rebels (apparently their name is racist...?) by 15+.
