College Basketball Season Record: 174-168-11 — Betting 1 Unit to Win X
6:00pm cst: Florida Gators vs. Alabama Crimson Tide -10; Total 174
Florida is red hot right now and so has Alabama on their home court. The Gators could take advantage of their size and rebounding. The Tide has been so tough at home with some of the best guard play in the conference. Marcus Sears is the key for Alabama. If Florida can slow him down, they can be successful. Florida’s defense tends to give teams trouble because of its size and length. This will be a close game or blow out. I’m betting it stays tight with Florida’s defense and rebounding.
Pick: Florida +10 (-112) [via DraftKings]
6:00pm cst: Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Louisville Cardinals -3; Total 136.5
Notre Dame has been pretty solid on the road and defense travels. Louisville has been ice cold this season and now are favored. The Irish has some of the best defense in the ACC so I expect them to be able to put the pressure on Louisville. I’ll take the points here where I have Notre Dame favored.
Pick: Notre Dame +3 (-110) [via DraftKings]
7:00pm cst: Charlotte 49ers vs. Memphis Tigers -6.5; Total 146
Both of these teams are heading in opposite directions with Charlotte trending up and Memphis trending down. Charlotte is still fighting to get into the tournament and Memphis has a lot of work to do to get back in. Total fade of Memphis here.
Pick: Charlotte +6.5 (-105) [via DraftKings]
8:00pm cst: Kentucky Wildcats -6.5 vs. LSU Tigers; Total 163
Kentucky is coming off a massive road win against Auburn and this weekend they face Alabama. This is the ultimate sandwich spot for them. This is a huge game for LSU and they can take advantage of the let down spot for Kentucky. LSU played the Wildcats tough in Lexington earlier this season, which gives me some confidence tonight.
Pick: LSU +6.5 (-122) [via DraftKings]
8:00pm cst: Ole Miss Rebels vs. Mississippi State Bulldogs -6.5; Total 141
This line looks like its begging for Ole Miss money. I do not like Ole Miss on the road. When these two played in Oxford, the spread was only 1 and now it’s 6.5 with the Dogs favored. Ole Miss gets stagnant on offense especially on the road. I rate this Bulldogs defense higher than Ole Miss. I’m laying it. A ticket to the tournament is on the line in this game.
Pick: Mississippi State -6.5 (-110) [via DraftKings]
9:00pm cst: Colorado State Rams vs. New Mexico Lobos -7.5; Total 157
Colorado State on the road against a defensive team with a great home court advantage? I’ll lay the points. Y’all know CSU relies too heavily on the three ball. If that isn’t working they tend to get blown out. I rather have a more well rounded New Mexico team.
Pick: New Mexico -7.5 (-112) [via DraftKings]
