College Basketball Season Record: 161-156-11 — Betting 1 Unit to Win X
6:00pm cst: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish; Total 133.5
We were on Notre Dame when they played GT on the road last month, and they won outright as 6.5 point underdogs. Now, they are back home and match up well against GT. Both teams are in a slump, but Notre Dame won on Saturday. I think they can build off of that win and secure another victory tonight.
Pick: Notre Dame -3.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
6:00pm cst: Miami Hurricanes vs. Clemson Tigers -7.5; Total 151
I was a bit confused when I saw this number. It is always a close game, and the Hurricanes win more times than not. Clemson has also not been as sharp at home. Miami’s Keyshawn George is questionable with an ankle injury. Miami can score and rebound, so I expect a close game. This number is a bit too steep for this matchup.
Pick: Miami +7.5 (-112) [via DraftKings]
6:00pm cst: UMASS Minutemen vs. Richmond Spiders -4; Total 142.5
This Richmond team is still underrated and at the top of the competitive Atlantic 10. Richmond rolled UMASS the last time they met. I expect the same to happen tonight. In my opinion, this is a short number for a red-hot Richmond team.
Pick: Richmond -4 (-112) [via DraftKings]
7:30pm cst: South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Auburn Tigers -11.5; Total 136.5
This feels like the rat trap of the night, with South Carolina getting double digits. Auburn smoked the Cocks on the road earlier in the season. I took 12 points with SC on the road at Alabama, and they played tough in the first half but were railed in the second half. The Gamecocks struggle with guards that play tough, aggressive defense, and that is exactly how Auburn plays. I think after Auburn got killed by Florida on Saturday, they will have a great crowd and play with a vengeance. I’m laying it.
Pick: Auburn -11.5 (-108) [via DraftKings]
