How good is San Francisco, really? The Dons have a glittering record to this point, but they haven’t played much of anyone either. San Francisco does have wins over both California and Stanford, both of which are usually great victories, but the Golden Bears and the Cardinal are a combined 12-18 so far this season. The Dons did play Buffalo, a game they lost. San Francisco looks like a much better team than it’s been in years but are they only 8 points worse than the powerhouse that is Gonzaga?
Dan Jamison
Purdue vs. Wisconsin Basketball Pick
Wisconsin’s calling card has been defense throughout its season, and the Badgers finally got back to playing their brand of defense that has made them a threat for years in the Big Ten in their win over Penn State. Can Wisconsin D up and cover with a 5 point advantage on Purdue? DJ breaks down Wisconsin vs Purdue.
Pacific Tigers vs. Gonzaga Bulldogs Pick
The Bulldogs are at the point of their schedule where they’re likely just competing against their own standards. Saint Mary’s will challenge the Bulldogs as usual, and San Francisco seems to have its best team in years, but otherwise, Gonzaga doesn’t look like it’s going to get tested much in the West Coast Conference. So the challenge betting Gonzaga is capping these monster spreads. Dan Jamison breaks down Pacific vs the Zags.
Michigan vs. Illinois Basketball Pick
Illinois has faced perhaps the most difficult schedule in the entire country, and perhaps that has left Brad Underwood’s team with a deceptive 4-11 record? When you lose 7 games it does have an impact on teams mentally. Is the pride and competitiveness still there with this team? Dog bettors and our own Dan Jamison will look hard at this team getting 8.5 points versus Michigan.
TCU vs. Kansas Basketball Pick
The Jayhawks’ legendary home court isn’t the intimidating feature it usually is when the Frogs are the visitors. TCU hasn’t yet managed to go into Lawrence and win, but it’s played Kansas much tougher than one would expect. Does TCU’s approach to these game make them a good pick to cover the bookie’s line of +6?
North Carolina vs. North Carolina State Pick
To say Roy Williams isn’t pleased with his team right now is a little like saying things didn’t go well on Monday night for Alabama’s football team. North Carolina has shown an alarming tendency to turn the ball over in big games, such as its 18 turnovers against Kentucky. Can UNC take care of the rock and cover against the bookies as small dogs?
Duke vs. Wake Forest Basketball Pick
Basketball Handicapper Dan Jamison is back with another pick involving the Duke Blue Devils. Coach K’s team has the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in their sights. Can bettors expect a 21 point cover against the spread? DJ breaks it down!
