February 20th Picks

I'll try to get my Benfica writeup in tomorrow if I have time. I think they will be were I place my W8. Not entirely sure yet, but the pick has some potential. I'll have more once I look at everything.

February 19th (my birthday baby) Picks

Pick #1 Michigan State Spartans


    This almost feels like a freebie. Purdue just kicked their guard Kelsey Barlow off the team, and suspended their forward/guard DJ Bird for this game. I'm really not sure there's much more to say. The Spartans look increadibly solid. I'll be placing a W6 on it.

Thats all for the 19th, I've got some birthday stuff I've got going on so I won't be posting anymore today.

Good Luck

February 18th Picks

Pick #1 Oral Roberts


  Because this game starts in just 30 minutes, I don't really have a lot of time to go into detail. With them at home though, and having some pretty decent wins this season, I like Oral Roberts. Oral Roberts knocked off then-ranked #9 Xavier on road 64-42, and South Dakota State (a pretty solid team at 21-7). Oral Roberts also hasn't lost at home since their home opener to UTSA, as they are 15-1 this season at home. This one should be close, but I'll probably put my humble W3 on it since it's getting pretty late in the month. Good luck whatever you do.


Pick #2 Michigan Wolverines: 3-pointers made or tie

Michigan is 14-0 this season at home (Memphis and Duke were played at a neutral site), and averages about 8 3-pointers a game. There is also a bit of hype as to whether the Wolverines even need the 3-pointer prop on their side. Many believe they can win the game outright. I don't know if I would go that far, but I certainly think they can cover the pick. Also note that 3 of Ohio State's 4 losses have come on the road. I really like Michigan as well. Good luck Today.

February 16th Picks

Pick #1 LA Clippers

 The Clippers (18-9) are 6-3 this month (9-3 since 1/26/12), with 7 of those 9 games being on the road. Portland (16-14) is 4-5 for February (5-7 since 1/25/12), with 5 of their 9 games being played at home. Overall, both teams matchup pretty equally, with LA ranking 5th in ppg, 16th in rebounds, 8th in assists and 18th in points allowed. Portland ranks 7th in points, 17th in rebounds, 9th in assists and 12th in points allowed. I give the edge to LA just for their recent production. Over the past few weeks, they have accumulated a significantly better record than Portland with most of those game being on the road. Most of Portland's games were at home. Expect a close game but I think the Clippers prevail.
