Thursday Picks

Games we like today...

Game #1, 6:00pm Tip : Gonzaga -8.5 @ Santa Clara 
This game was teased in yesterday's blog post.  Should be a sweat factor here but we like the Zags to cover the 8.5 on the road.

Game #2, 6:00pm Tip : Wisconsin -13.5 vs Indiana. 
Expecting a blowout here as Wisconsin should be able to wear down a thin Indiana squad.  It is Indiana's first game without Mo Creek and that thin bench is getting thinner.

Game #3, 7:30pm PST Tip:  Portland -3 @ San Francisco.
Portland is the #2 Team in the Nation in 3 point field goal percentage.  Like they way they match up and the home dog trend doesn't apply when the spread so small.  Small sweat factor here but like the Pilots to cover.

Games of note : 

Auburn +12 at home vs Florida.   Home dogs of 8 or more have been covering regularly in conference play.  Florida is a streaky shooting team.  19.2% from 3pt FG in this game vs Florida.  It's a boom or bust team that should be steered clear from when betting games as can't trust it.   In this game they didn't shoot well and thus Auburn almost won and easily covered.

Good Luck today.
