1000 Arsenal by 2- Confidence:2

1100 Toledo - is a pretty underrated team right now. There the favorite to win the MAC right now. I'm not sure what to think about Akron. I think Toledos ability to spread the ball and score gives them an edge here. Confidence:3

1200 SMU- Confidence:2

1200 Boston College free throws- This pick has the potential to be a really good pick. Boston College on the year is averaging over 20 made free throws a game. But that number is pretty high since some games they made 30 whether others they have only made around 10. The spread for this game is around 12 for more times than not they should be able to make that many free throws. As someone who has been a big UNC fan the way the team has played to this point has been disappointing. Sure they have beaten good teams but not showing up for Miami or Wake is absolutely unacceptable considering how they played in those games. This team has so much talent its not even funny but to see D1 athletes who have been giving everything play with no passion or heart. It really makes it tough to watch at times. UNC had the entire week off to get ready for this game. One thing I have remembered over the years is Roy will make sure these kids will show up on Saturday. As a former player I don't think there is anything worse than losing to teams you should beat. UNC really has the potential to run BC out of the Dean Dome. But given how they have played this year and how they don't play defense on every possession makes me think BC will make enough free throws to cover. I should be higher but I really think UNC covers the spread tomorrow so I have to be a little less confident in it. Confidence:4

1200 Temple 3 pointers- Confidence:1

1200 Tulsa- Confidence:1

1205 Tennessee single digits- Confidence:3

1230 Liverpool by 2- Confidence:2

130 Kansas St- State has some head scratching games. West Virginia relies too much on the 3 at times. Confidence:3

130 Arkansas- Confidence:2

130 Texas A&M- Confidence:3

200 Missouri- Missouri a hard team for me to trust. It just seems like they go on runs in games but cant put teams away and they allow opponents to stay in games. This is the classic there at home they should win scenario but I could see Releford playing well here which is why I think I would stay away from it. Confidence:2

200 Baylor- They should win here and considering where the spread is for this game you have to like it. But I think Baylor has struggled this year with teams that can match them down low. Oklahomas ability to score and rebound could make this a really interesting game. Confidence:3

200 Marquette- They have really under performed to this point in the year where Butler has really over performed given what I expected. I think Marquette needs this game pretty badly and think Gardner will step up. Confidence:3

200 New York Rangers- Confidence:2

200 San Jose Sharks- Even if Stamkos does play here I think the Sharks are better. Confidence:3

200 Winnipeg Jets- Confidence:3

205 Duke by 15- Confidence:1

300 Richmond- Confidence:1

400 Iowa St- Confidence:3

400 Kansas- Confidence:4

400 UCLA- Confidence:3

400 Syracuse- Pitt has really over performed their expectations to this point. I think they are better than some people give them credit despite playing a weak schedule. Pitt has done well against Cuse the last couple of years. But this is easily Pitts first test of the year. They fight and might make it close but I really cant see many scenarios where Pitt wins this game. Confidence:6

605 Michigan- Confidence:2
