Pick: Kansas State -11.5
Since taking a 9-point loss at Oklahoma on Jan. 14, K-State has rattled off 3 straight wins. Now, it will be out for revenge against the Sooners. Revenge has been a solid angle to play when dealing with the Wildcats, who are 12-4 ATS in home games when out to avenge a loss to an opponent under the watch of Frank Martin. K-State defeated the Sooners by 15 points in last season’s home meeting, and I expect a similar result today. -Jeff Alexander
Pick: Wichita State -9.5
Wichita State is locked in a battle for first place in the MVC with Creighton. They are a stellar road team this season and 18-3 overall. The Shockers are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and 13-6 ATS in their last 19 road games. Drake is 5-5 in the conference, the Bulldogs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600. -Jim Feist
Pick: Phoenix Suns +4
The Phoenix Suns should not be an underdog at home. They have certainly been disappointing in the early going, but as a result, this team is showing excellent value tonight. The Memphis Grizzlies are still playing without their best player in Zach Randolph, and they are way overvalued because of it. This play falls into system that is 44-13 (77.2%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. It tells us to bet on underdogs (PHOENIX) – cold team – failing to cover the spread in 8 or more of their last 10, tired team – playing 8 or more games in 14 days. Bet the Suns Saturday. -Jack Jones
Pick: Tennessee -9
Volunteers (-) over Tigers- Doesn’t it seems strange to you that the 9-11 Volunteers are favored so heavily over a 12-8 Auburn club. The answer may be found in past performances where the home team in this series is 11-1 ATS in the last 12 and that the favorite has won 10 of the last 12 meetings. With the addition of Memphis native the 6’8” Jarnell Stokes who makes a difference for the Volunteers. Take TENNESSEE! -Chip Chirimbes
