I've got some extra tennis money that I need to get rid of, so here are 5 college hoops picks for Thursday night:
Youngstown State +7.5 -103, 1.03 units to win 1 unit
Loyola-Chicago already beat Youngstown by 11 points in Youngstown's gym earlier this season, but they're only favored by 7.5 against them at home? Fishy, fishy, fishy. Even with the earlier victory, Pomeroy's numbers have Loy-Chi winning by 6.
Oregon State +4 +100, 1 unit to win 1 unit
The Beavers have been playing very well since the Presidential Inauguration of their coach's brother-in-law. Coincidence? I think not!
New Mexico State +11 +101, 1 unit to win 1.01 units
Public on Utah State (Sports Interaction says 89%, which seems a little much, but still), but line hasn't budged all day.
Santa Clara +5.5 -107, 1.07 units to win 1 unit
Very disappointing season for San Diego, and I don't see them recovering with Johnson out for the season. Public still loves them, though, probably in part because they already beat Santa Clara at Santa Clara this year.
Washington State +4.5 -105, 1.05 units to win 1 unit
Here again, big support for Stanford but no line movement. There's big money coming in on Wash. St. and/or the books are taking a stand with Wash. St. Either way, I'd rather be on their side than the squares. Pomeroy has Stanford winning by only 2, Sagarin says 4.
No NBA (nothing looks good) or NHL (didn't have time to look) tonight, so this is likely it, except that there could be a tennis pick for tomorrow posted later (gonna see what the lines do for a couple of hours). Good luck everybody.
