January NCAAB Picks

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 14W-11L-0 -0.95 unit (56.00%)

Tough stretch for the tail end of December..believe I had a 1-6 streak. Lets hope I break out of it.

Michigan St -1 (-120) to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

This will be a tough game. Northwestern has been solid at home, but they have played no real competition at home. MSU owns this series, 9-1 in there last 10 meetings. I think its a close one, but the better team ends up pulling it out for there first road win.

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 15W-11L-0 +0.05 unit (57.69%)

Finally got a win, lets hope I keep it going

Providence +6 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I rarely bet against Pitt. The last couple of years Providence has kept it close. This is Pitt's first true road game so I think they might see some problems. Pitt has been pretty streaky at times this year, in the Rhode Island game the defense was horrible and the Tennessee game was pathetic. TBH I wouldn't be surprised to see Providence win this game.

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 16W-11L-0 +1.05 unit (59.25%)

Harvard +10 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Taking a shot, think Harvard can win SU tbh

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 17W-11L-0 +2.05 unit (60.71%)

Northwestern +9 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

This line seems a little bit too high for me. This is a Rivalry game. Northwestern has played Illinois tough the last 3 games and have they actually won last years game I think this is a team certainly on the rise. I've always particularly hated every Bruce Weber team because they are always overrated other then the year they were in the national championship.

[Alexgurv]

well i wasnt even close there

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 17W-12L-0 +0.95 unit (58.62%)

Cal +1 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 18W-12L-0 +1.95 unit (60.00%)

Xavier +2 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I like Xavier to bounce back after losing in a rivalry game.

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 19W-12L-0 +2.95 unit (61.29%)

Marquette -3 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I think Notre Dame will be a great home team this year but a possibly terrible road team in conference play. As already proven they couldn't hang with Cuse at all in the Dome and played well against Uconn and St Johns. I know @ Marquette isn't exactly a power house team. But I watched a good bit of there game against Pitt and they have a good amount of talent and same slashers that can create.

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 20W-12L-0 +3.95 unit (62.50%)

Tennessee -160 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Going juicy with this one. I know there without there coach. But Tennessee has a good recent history against Florida. The backing of the home crowd should help them win this game. And how good is Florida really? Pretty average IMO

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 20W-13L-0 +2.35 unit (60.60%)

Tough overtime loss yesterday

Georgetown -1.5 (-130) to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Pitt's second road game now. They struggled in the first one and barely won. They were actually down 4 with 2 minutes to go and ended up just hitting a bunch of 3's to win this game. Georgetown is a tougher team then Providence is. I see Pitt struggling with the 3 pt shot with the kind of aggressive defense Georgetown will play

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 20W-14L-0 +1.05 unit (58.82%)

FML

Rhode Island +9 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 21W-14L-0 +2.05 unit (60.00%)

George Washington +1 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes


Harvard is a different team on the road. They always win against BC for whatever reason and Dartmouth is terrible. A third road game in a row wont be easy for them

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 21W-15L-0 +0.95 unit (58.33%)

Tough shit with GW...winning 75% of the game and they just fade in the tail end of it..

Purdue +2.5 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Seems a little odd of a line to me. I know WVU just beat Providence by 30 at home , but they have looked pretty unimpressive at times this year even at home, they lost to St Johns. Seems like a good way for Purdue to get a bounce back win after losing to Minny

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 21W-16L-0 -0.15 unit (56.75%)

Uconn -2 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Clemson +6 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

[ricohhh]

bol man

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 21W-17L-1P -1.25 unit (55.26%)

sigh...

ND -3.5 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 22W-17L-1P -0.25 unit (56.41%)

Finally a win, took me like a week to get back on the board

Maryland -5.5 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

V. Tech coming off an easy one. V. Tech usually seems to struggle for some reason early in the conference season. They could have some trouble with the rebounding and solid defense Maryland is playing this year. Jordan Williams is having a great year. I have trouble seeing them being able to control him.

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 22W-18L-1P -1.35 unit (55.00%)

Xavier pick -110 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Providence +5 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Try to get some down in the morning...

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 24W-18L-1P +0.65 unit (57.14%)

Finally had a good day in NCAAB and put together a 2-0 Saturday and got back in the green

Notre Dame +10.5 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

This feels like one of those games where there is gonna be a huge buzz in Pittsburgh due to the Steelers and Pitt comes out a little bit sloppy. Notre Dame isn't a very good road team, but I think Pitt having some trouble closing out games this year and people just taking dumb shots Notre Dame comes close to winning this game. Pitt has clearly had the better team for years now, as long as Jamie Dixon has been coach IMO. But Notre Dame has always competed with Pitt, since 2003, ND has lost by more then 10 one time.

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 25W-18L-1P +1.65 unit (58.13%)

Purdue +7.5 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I guess I'll be the asshole that bites on this one.

[Wilforth]

You're not the only asshole. Some of Ohio St.'s wins have been dodgy. I'm actually considering Purdue on the ML.

[Alexgurv]

lesson learned, lol

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 25W-19L-1P +0.55 unit (56.81%)

UNC -1 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 26W-19L-1P +1.55 unit (56.81%)

Vandy -7 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Like this with or without Sydney. Miss St has an 8-3 home record but they haven't exactly been playing juggernauts. Some losses include FAU, East Tennessee St, and getting blown out by Alabama. Vandy not a great road team this year, but they've had a pretty sold road schedule themselves. Just a 3 point loss @ Mizzu. I Don't think Miss. St stands a chance.

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 26W-19L-2P +1.55 unit (56.81%)

Texas A and M +1 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

hm...interesting...

WVU +3 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

I hate picking 2 road games in one day. WVU has played well on the road this year against some solid competition and came up just short against Lville and Marquette. Cinci has played well at home too. But other then Xavier they haven't really played anyone good.

[Alexgurv]

NCAAB Overall 2010-2011 27W-20L-2P +1.45 unit (57.44%)

January 30th 2011

Rhode Island +1.5 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes

G. Tech +3 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

This is a completely different team at home.

Jan 31

Texas A and M -103 to win 1 unit @ 5dimes

Big bounce back game after a pretty poor showing @ Nebraska.
