Yesterday was a tough day for a sharp.
I am officially done with Alabama. They were crushing it for me earlier in the season. However, those frauds forgot how to score the ball and their best player, John Perry, is scared to shoot, dribble, or pass the ball.
The only highlight of the night was the Wyoming UNLV under, which was an easy winner. After watching that game I plan on betting the under in every Wyoming game from here on out. Their point guard Justin James literally takes 10 seconds off the lock every time he dribbles it up the court. He literally walks the ball up so slowly he got called on a 10 second half court violation, it was awesome. I don’t care how fast the other team scores because apparently, the Wyoming coach doesn’t allow the team to shoot until there are 5 seconds left on the shot clock.
Anyways, obviously not a great start to my college basketball blogging picks, but I’m getting back on top today (That’s what she said)
Illinois State (+1.5) vs. Indiana State
Listen, I got a tip from a guy I played baseball with in high school, that may or may not play for Illinois State, and may or may not be Zack ‘Killa’ Copland. That source told me Illinois State is going to whip the floor with Indiana State. Trust me, this source is a standup guy, he may have sucked at baseball, but he’s straight up wet from three, and if you bet on Illinois State, you’ll straight up have a good time tonight. Winner, Winner, Winner!
Pick: Illinois State +1.5
North Carolina vs. Duke (-9)
Listen, you are out of your freaking mind if you don’t take Duke here. Out of your mind. I didn’t buy into the Duke and Zion hype at the beginning, but that guy can literally score anytime he wants to. It’s amazing. If they don’t cover the spread I can deal with not winning, but I cannot deal with picking North Carolina and losing. I had NC State last weekend +17, the bet barely worked out, but the whole game it seemed like if Duke wanted too they could be up by 30. Today, in a rivalry game, you can’t pick against big dick Zion and the boys.
Pick: Duke -9
CSU vs. SJSU (+10.5)
Both these teams blow massive dick. CSU can only score in the paint and SJSU pretty much can’t score, it’s a horrible game, but the value in the points is crazy. When equally horrible teams are playing and the home team is getting points you have to take it. Sharp’s are all over this with only 35% of tickets placed on them, but controlling almost 60% of the money.
Pick: SJSU +10.5
Cal State Northridge (+4) vs. Long Beach State
This pick pains me, but the value here is in Northridge. Long Beach has been paying my bills all season long, but their incredible run ends here. All the sharp money on this pick scares me a little with only 49% of tickets on Northridge that accounts for 89% of the money. However, I would rather die a sharp than win a square fraud.
Pick: Northridge +4
Utah vs. Washington Under 140/ Colorado vs. Washington State Under 147
I have been killing bookmakers all season long betting Pac-12 under. It is practically stealing anytime the total is set above the 130’s. No shot any of these teams get to 70 points tonight.
Pick: UNDER
