Brakon's Day Long Picks for Thursday NCAAB (ditching class today)

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 08:04 AM

First game of the day Thursday at :
11:30 AM E.T. : Dayton vs. Georgia Tech (pick'em)

- Dayton is ranked 3 spots higher in the preseason rankings over Georgia Tech at #18 to tech's #21. Both of these teams will be playing in Puerto Rico in San Jaun at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico. Both Lawel and Shampert of Georgia Tech performed well in their previous game in which they won 59-100. However that was versus a much easier opponent. Georgia Tech started of 2008 season going 5-0 and Dayton started off going 21-2 in the season and lost 1 out of 3 games vs. ranked opponents in the top #25.
pick: Dayton has played much better teams and have beaten them more than Georgia tech....Dayton has Chris Wright and Chris Johnson at forward and gaurd respectively who both combined went 16 for 27 and had 43 points between the two.

Dayton -110 in this game. 22 to win 20

Loving Dayton. They return four starters and three Seniors from last years team.

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 08:34 AM

1:30 P.M. E.T. : Tulane vs. Miami (FL) -10.5

- Tulane was known last year to stay close to reasonable tough teams, but they lost their first game by double digits and they are facing a tough miami team with good rebounding and high scoring. Miami is 2-0 to begin the season and the -10.5 line is about 6-8 points lower than i thought the line should be. if the line was -16 i think i would take Tulane +16....but the -10.5 is very low to me....

Miami (FL) -10.5 -110 22 to win 20

Hammew · 11-19-09, 09:02 AM

Your thread has inspired me to cut class today as well.

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 09:14 AM

2:00 P.M. E.T.: George Mason vs. Villanova (15) -15

- This line seems to be as well lower than i would have expected..i expected a -20 to -22 line on Villanova that way almost 50/50 action for the books.... Villanova is averaging 93.5 points in their first 2 games. George Mason won both their first 2 games at home and averaged 68 points in those 2 games. Villanova gave up an average of 63 in their first 2 games....this is a clear cut pick:

Villanova -15 -110 22 to win 20

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 09:58 AM

penn st. and indiana game picks coming soon at around 3 e.t.

baa269 · 11-19-09, 10:16 AM

Brakon i agree so far but i really like villanova -8 for 1h.

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 10:22 AM

halves arent available on my books site yet.....i might have to wait until half hour before game for that.....ill consider it

bluntsallday · 11-19-09, 10:39 AM

skippin class also. what u guys think of these picks? i dont think ive seen anyone handicap these games yet.

Montana +4.5 vs Denver

It is just beyond me how a team with the second worst rebounding in college basketball is favored here. they are averaging THREE offensive rebounds PER GAME this season. I guess denver gets the nod because they are at home, but i dont think that will matter in this contest. Montana is a good road team going 4-1 ATS their last five dating back to last season. take the points and play on montana.

small play:
NAU +2.5 vs Pacific (Pacific is 2-7 ATS in last 9 games on the road.)

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 10:42 AM

i agree...im gonna be posting the later games as the day goes on

tcarn01 · 11-19-09, 10:44 AM

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 10:46 AM

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 05:21 PM

just woke up from sleeping.....pulled an all nighter.......i missed the chance to bet on 2 games....i apoligize.......there are 5 games tonight at
7:00 E.T..... coming up in 30 min.

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 05:30 PM

Current Day record: (2-1)

4:00 P.M. E.T.: South Florida -2 vs. Davidson
With Stephen Curry leaving Davidson and the 3 seniors on the team who are left losing by 11 to butler, this team is gonna be short in terms of height vs. South Florids'a tall big forwards and center. South Florida performed well in their first 2 games and covered ATS. This is a no brainer....

South Florida -2 -110 22 to win 20

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 05:37 PM

Current Day Record: (2-1)
4:00 P.M. E.T.:

Rider +4 vs. Virginia
Rider has put up 86 and 88 in their last 2 games and out-rebounded their opponents in each win. Virginia lost their last game to a much tougher opponent only putting up 49 points to South Florida Univ. There only win comes to Longwood who are currently 0-3 on the year. This is more of a gut feeling pick that Rider outright wins this game based on their last 2 performances.

Rider +4 -110 22 to win 20

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 05:51 PM

Current Day Record: (2-1)
4:00 P.M. E.T.:

Richmond -5.5 vs. William & Mary
Richmond is 2-0 as William & Mary is 0-2. Their losses include a triple overtime loss by 2 points to Harvard. In both games they have played they have averaged before overtime around 60 points. Richmond has put up over 80 in both wins. Team normally who just come off more than 1 overtime losses usually are exhausted and do not do very well, however William & Mary has had 5 days of rest from the triple overtime loss. Richmond has looked very good in past years and looks good to start off this year......i like richmond a lot here.

Richmond -5.5 -110 22 to win 20

gafl · 11-19-09, 05:59 PM

Agree with you on Rider. Watched the Virginia/So. Fla. game. Virginia did not impress. Maybe just a bad matchup? Rider looks to have better shooting and rebounding. Rider -4.

marabdl86 · 11-19-09, 06:02 PM

Brakon you should play reduce juice.

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 06:02 PM

Current Day Record: (2-1)
4:00 P.M. E.T.:

Syracuse(pick'em) vs. Cal (13)
Syracuse has 2 wins and has put up an avg of 87.5 per game in their first 2 which in includes a 100 point game in their last win. Cal has put up an avg. of 85 with a 95 point win in their last game. But first things first. The Bears will have to contend with Syracuse’s stingy zone defense and big, physical players at every position. I like Syracuse to win this game in Madison Square Garden.

Syracuse (pick'em) -110 22 to win 20

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 06:07 PM

Bob Knight picked syracuse to win!!!! im all in on this one...hes 11-0 in his last 11 picks on T.V.!!!

marabdl86 · 11-19-09, 06:09 PM

I play at 5 dimes. Go to reduced juice and they have all they games at -105

I'm on all your calls brother

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 06:13 PM

well i dont like 5 dimes bc they dont do bank wires for new players...they told me u need to be there for over 6 months and have at least 3 succesful deposits inorder to do bankwire payouts.....i hate checks and going to banks and dealing with the stupid idiots who work there.....i never touch my $ anyways other than for small things like food and daily things so I have no need to go to the bank to begin with. I like sportsbetting.com , betjamaica, and betus.....all have bank wire payouts that take 3-5 days and i like that. all electronic the better for me

marabdl86 · 11-19-09, 06:16 PM

how confident are you on Syracuse/

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 06:19 PM

all plays are small plays today since im doing almost every game but the 2 missed ,.....on a scale im a 7.5 out of 10. i was 6 out of 10 on a scale for all previous plays.....

CarolinaDaze · 11-19-09, 07:02 PM

GL Brakon im in . Those doubters cant cry u didn't post on time or give reasons behind picks now.

Brakon00 · 11-19-09, 07:11 PM

Current Day Record: (2-1)
4:30 P.M. E.T.:

2 games at this time I love!!!! absolutely love...both of these will be blowouts!

Boston U. vs. Kansas St. -15.5
Utah Valley vs. Minnesota -27.5

Both of these teams have blown out thier opponents....both teams have averaged +25 point wins in their first 2 games and face worse teams than their first 2 wins....both will BE HUGE BLOWOUTS! If you feel the 27.5 is too much to take tease both games to make it -10.5 and -22.5...those are almost locks!

Kansas St. -15.5 -110 22 to win 20
Minnesota -27.5 -110 22 to win 20
