Pick: Tennessee +1.5
Vandy, who is 0-3 away from home this season, should not be laying points on the road against a hungry Tennessee team it has lost to 5 straight times. In fact, the Commodores have only defeated the Vols once in the last 28 meetings. Motivation will not be an issue for the Vols, who can still become bowl eligible by winning their final two games against very beatable Vanderbilt and Kentucky teams. As if bowl eligibility isn’t enough of a reason to put it on the Commodores, the Vols will be further motivated by the goose egg they currently have in conference play. In addition, it’s senior night, when teams typically put forth a great effort to send the seniors out on a winning note in their final home game. In addition to Tennessee’s motivational edges, it will benefit from the return of QB Tyler Bray, who was having an outstanding season with 1,579 yards with 14 touchdowns and two interceptions before breaking his thumb. Vandy is improved, but I don’t think it has closed the gap as much as this line indicates. The Vols have won the last three meetings in this series by double digits, including a 14-point victory on the road last season. Also, Vandy has struggled mightily in its three road games where it has been outscored by an average of 27 to 8. The Commodores are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games as a road favorite. The Volunteers are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog of 3.0 points or less. Tennessee has won nine consecutive November home games against SEC opponents. We’ll take Tennessee. -Jimmy Boyd

Pick: Iowa -2
This is a letdown spot for Purdue following its big upset win over Ohio State, and it’s a bounce back spot for Iowa following its disappointing performance against Michigan State. Iowa struggled against Michigan State because it wasn’t able to run the football. It shouldn’t have any trouble running the ball this week against a Purdue defense that ranks 93rd in the country against the run with 188.3 yards allowed per game. The Boilermakers have allowed an average of 288.7 rushing yards in their last three games. Iowa had averaged 189.5 rushing yards in its four games before Michigan State. Expect Iowa’s Marcus Coker to have a big game on the ground in a winning effort Saturday. The Hawkeyes are 27-9 ATS in their last 36 games after accumulating less than 100 yards rushing in their previous game and 32-12-1 ATS in their last 45 games following a SU loss. The Boilermakers are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a SU win. Take Iowa. -Jeff Alexander

Pick: Ohio State -6.5
I’m laying the points with Ohio State on Saturday. Penn State was certainly an overrated 8-1 team heading into last week’s home game against Nebraska. The Nittany Lions lost 17-14, but they’re fortunate to have faced a limited offense or the final margin would have been much worse. Penn State’s offense has been pretty bad and one-dimensional all season. Last week, they gained 375 yards on 4.8 yards per play, which was actually 18 yards more than their seasonal average. Penn State isn’t horrible on the ground, but it’s all they have been able to do. A team that can only do one thing is not going to intimidate the Buckeye defense. Yes, Ohio State is off a tough loss at Purdue, but the Buckeye stop unit is about as balanced as it gets. They’re 15th overall, ranked 28th against the pass and 27th against the run. They’re also on a 17-4 ATS run at home where they have scored at least 33 points in four of six games this season. Meanwhile, Penn State checks-in on a 2-9-1 ATS slide, overall. I’m laying the points with the Buckeyes on Saturday. Thanks! GL! Scott Spreitzer (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Northwestern +8
Michigan at 5-0 still isn’t scaring anybody although their defense has shown major strides and their offense still have one of the most ‘explosive’ player in college football with Denard Robinson. The key and problem for Michigan is that after five wins this will be their first road game of the season and they are just 2-11 ATS in their last 13 road openers and they are also 0-6 as road favorites. Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald is 8-2 ATS as a dog off back-to-back losses. Parsa status prevents me from putting this on TOP! Take NORTHWESTERN! -Chip Chirimbes

Pick: Ohio State +10
Nebraska has done nothing so far this season to warrant being this big of a favorite against Ohio State. Every team in the Big Ten have been waiting for their opportunity to welcome the Cornhuskers into the conference. Ohio State doesn’t have the offense that it has had in years past, but they are going up against a very overrated Nebraska defense that is ranked 61st in the country in total defense. Nebraska is giving up 152.8 ypg on the ground and another 224.2 ypg through the air. Ohio State’s offense will be able to make enough plays offensively to put points on the board. What a lot of people seem to be overlooking in this game is how well the Buckeyes have played on the defensive side of the ball. Ohio State is 22nd against the run, giving up just 93.6 ypg and are 30th against the pass, allowing just 191.6 ypg. If Ohio State can take away Nebraska’s running game and force Taylor Martinez to throw the football, the Buckeyes have a legit shot at winning this game. Ohio State is 21-4-1 ATS in their last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, 38-15-1 ATS in their last 54 conference games, and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog.

Ohio State vs. George Mason
Prediction: George Mason +11.5 -110 odds – March 20th 2011
CLICK HERE FOR EXPERT NCAA TOURNAMENT PICKS

Ohio St. was favored by fewer points in the final two games of the Big Ten Tournament against Michigan and Penn St. than it is against George Mason. That may seem appropriate considering the strength of the conferences however the Patriots have a higher RPI than both of those teams, 26 compared to 40 and 51. That shows the mid-majors are not getting the respect they deserve and George Mason already showed in the first round that it can play with and defeat the big conference teams.

As a rebuttal, it can be argued that Villanova was not nearly as good as some people though and I can’t disagree as it ended the season with a six-game losing streak. Nevertheless, the Patriots took control when they needed to. They held the Wildcats to just 36.5 percent shooting and 57 points, the second fewest amount of points Villanova has scored all season long against a team not named Pittsburgh. Had George Mason hit its free throws, the game may not have even been that close at the end.

This is taking nothing away from Ohio St. as it is the number one overall seed for a reason. The Buckeyes won both the regular season and tournament championships in the Big Ten but they have been involved in a lot of close games this season and its 3-2 record against the RPI Top 25 is pretty average. George Mason is not part of that group by they are just one slot out by just .0014 points so it can certainly qualify. Ohio St. is 6-0 ATS as a single-digit chalk but just 10-13 ATS when laying double-digits.

George Mason is 5-2 ATS as an underdog this season and it has not been more than a six-point underdog all season so there is definitely value no matter who the opponent. The Patriots are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games against teams with a winning record including 9-1 ATS against teams with a winning percentage greater than .600. Ohio St. meanwhile despite covering its opener against Texas-San Antonio is just 4-11 ATS in its last 15 games as a favorite in the NCAA Tournament. 3* (723) George Mason Patriots – Matt Fargo (Handicapperspicks.com)

College Basketball Picks: February 12th 2011

Pick: Ohio State +1
I’ll gladly take the top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes as an underdog to the Wisconsin Badgers Saturday. Sure, Ohio State has lost eight straight at the Kohl Center, but this is a new year and a new team. The Buckeyes have not lost all season, and I fully expect them to put an end to this losing streak in Madison Saturday. They simply have a more talented team across the board. Ohio State has four players who score in double-figures, while the Badgers only has two who average double-digits. The Buckeyes are not only winning on the road, they are blowing teams out by an average of 9.7 PPG. Ohio State is shooting 49.8% on the road this season which is up from what they shoot at home. The Buckeyes have won 12 straight conference road games dating back to last season. They are 9-3 ATS in those 12 road contests. They Buckeyes are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Furthermore, Ohio State is 17-8 ATS in their last 25 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Take the Buckeyes Saturday at a great price. -Jack Jones

Pick: Villanova -3
Beating Nova on its home court is no easy task. That task becomes even more difficult when taking the floor without a key player. That’s what Pitt is up against this evening with star guard Ashton Gibbs sidelined. The Wildcats will be lacking no motivation here. They will be out to avenge an upset loss to Pitt last season, and an upset loss to Rutgers this week will add even more fuel to the fire. Nova is 13-1 at home this season, where it is holding its opponents to just 61.0 ppg. Home court is very important in this matchup considering the home squad has covered the number in 10 of the last 14 meetings. The Wildcats have played their best ball against the best teams they have faced. In fact, Villanova is an impressive 6-0 ATS versus top caliber teams that are outscoring their opponents by 12-plus points per game this season. The Wildcats are defeating these teams by an average score of 76.3 to 67.3. Looking back, Nova is an impressive 11-3 ATS in home games (15 or more games into the season) when playing against top level teams with winning percentages above 80% under coach Jay Wright. We’ll lay the points with Nova tonight. -Jimmy Boyd

Pick: Tulsa +3.5
UCF started the season at 14-0. They are now 14-8. The Knights have lost 8 in a row SU and have failed to cover their L10, including their L6 home contests. Even the son of Michael Jordan (UCF Guard, Marcus) can not help Central Florida get out of their funk. They must now face a well-rested Tulsa team (last game February 5th) that has won their L3 games. Guard Justin Hurtt leads the Golden Hurricanes with 20.2 PPG. Idlet, Haralson, and Clarkson are all adding DDs each game. Centers Idlet and Maduka are sharing time and will dominate the glass along with Forward Joe Richard. The squad leads the Conference with +8 RPG. The Knights are 0-8 ATS their L8 as a favorite, 0-6 ATS their L6 at home, and 0-9 ATS their L9 vs. teams with a winning record. The Golden Hurricanes are 4-1 ATS their L5 as a ‘dog of .5 – 6 ½ points, 3-0-1 ATS their L4 following an ATS loss, and 3-1-1 ATS their L5 games played on Saturday. Take Tulsa. Thank you. -Joseph D’Amico (Handicapperspicks.com)
