Picks
Wednesday
The Pirates are dealing with serious issues in their rotation with Jameson Taillon and Trevor Williams on the injured list while Chris Archer is struggling. Ryu has been on fire with 31 consecutive scoreless innings entering this contest on the books. The Dodgers have plenty of offensive weapons to support their pitching and with Ryu throwing zeroes, it doesnt take much to put the team in a favorable position. With the Pirates having so many issues on the mound, you have to lean toward Los Angeles and at -175 the only option here is LA -1.5 (-125) on the RL.

Golden State has outscored Portland by 18.3 points per game in the second half this series. I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen again. I can see another close game for 2 quarters and then Warriors step on the gas again. Does Portland really want to travel back to Oakland to get their teeth kicked in?

The OVER has hit in four straight in this series, five of the previously six. Game 2 was the lone exception, a low-scoring battle with 187 combined points on a total of 219.5. Over and Portland today.

Don't trust Bailey, he's been far from trustworthy over the last couple of years on the whole. Yankees -1.5

There's no value in paying -130 for +3 but it certainly gives you peace of mind. I do like buying hooks at 3, 10, 14, 17, 21, 28 type of numbers in football.

This is a pretty easy one for me. I'm taking Villanova to cover. It's like the Musketeers forget how to shoot the ball when they have to play somewhere besides their home court this season. They simply can't be trusted on the road. Villanova on the other hand is playing their best ball of the season right now and have won the last 5 games. The Wildcats are shooting 48% and are beating teams by 10+ points.
My Pick: Villanova -10- Comment

My five star pick right here. I'm going with Toledo Rockets. The Rockets come into this game looking to add to their back to back wins. Toledo's offense is putting up 81 points per game and shooting good from the field. It sure doesn't hurt that Toledo is covering ATS. They've covered 11-3 against Ohio. Ohio better hope it doesn't come down to fouling because the Rockets don't miss from the free-throw line, they are shooting 78%.

I'm leaning on Northwestern against Rutgers. Rutgers defense hasn't been anything to worry about in the last few games. They've given up over 85 points in the last two games against Purdue and Minnesota. Northwestern looks to be a better offense and defense. Defensively, in their last four games, they are holding teams to 65 points and are giving up 62.
My Pick: Northwestern -1.5- Comment

Maryland has a hold on the Big 10 at 6-1 while the Buckeyes are on a slow roll at 2-3. Last season Ohio St dominated the Terps but I don't see that happening this time. Maryland is on a streak and has won 5 straight. The big reasons for that is Fernadno and Cowan. They have a young but talented team that will take it to Ohio St and will make them work for every point they get down low. Leaning on Maryland to cover and possibly upset Ohio St.

Mississippi St lost to the Gamecocks. You heard me. The Gamecocks. They should have won that game with ease. My guess is they will be out to set the record straight. They will be motivated to get a big win against Florida. No surprise that Florida got beat by Tennessee but it was almost like they started off playing like someone had just killed their new puppy. They couldn't get it together and weren't playing the way they typically can. Not that they would have won, but I think they could have played much better. I'll bet that the Bulldogs come out firing and get the cover.
My Pick: Mississippi St. -3- Comment

Not a huge fan of this bet but going to ride with the Rebels against the Cowboys. The Cowboys have shown that they can't find the bucket with they are away from home.

I'm leaning on Creighton just because their offense is sturdy and the Bulldog defense has kinda slid backwards. I think Creighton can cover with a strong offensive game.

Creighton on the road in this match up. Creighton offense continues to get better and the Bulldogs defense hasn't been as good as they once were. Taking the points.

Troy has the edge in coaching with Neal Brown and I'm sure he will have plenty of offensive cooked up for this Dollar General bowl game. Buffalo looked great at times this year and have plenty of speed but their loss to NIU and blowout loss to Ohio have me leaning toward Troy and the free point.
My Pick: Troy +1- Comment
