College Basketball Picks for February 27th
Posted by deaconcat08 on February 27, 2010
These spreads are based on the current lines according to the World Sports Exchange, and they are ordered from most confident to least confident.
California (-6.5) vs. Arizona State- The Bears looked impressive in their blowout win over Zona earlier this week, and they’ve already beaten ASU by 8 earlier in the season in Tempe. Now that they get the Devils at home I think they win by double-digits here.
Virginia Tech (-1.0) vs. Maryland- When you have two evenly-matched teams playing in a game that is close to a pick’em, I always suggest take the home team.
Florida (-1.0) vs. Georgia- The Gators beat the Dawgs by 16 at home, and I don’t see a change in venue making up that kind of difference. My “rematch theory” has treated me well so far this year, so I’ll keep it up.
Miami-FL (-6.5) vs. NC State- Miami has been impressive at home as of late winning 2 of their last 3, all against quality opponents (wins over UVA and GT; loss against Duke). Meanwhile, NC State has only won been able to stay within single-digits in 2 of their ACC road games this season.
Charleston (Pick) vs. Furman- I won with the Cougars on Thursday night, so I’m going to pick them again this weekend. Rematch theory is again in place, as C of C beat the Paladins by 12 earlier this season. The only thing to worry about here is if Charleston struggles to bounce back after an emotional loss to Wofford. It might be an issue against an upper-echelon SoCon opponent. But against 7-10 Furman I think they’ll be fine.
Yesterday’s Record: 1-0, Overall Season Record: 21-15
