College Basketball Picks for March 6th

Posted by deaconcat08 on March 8, 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.  Going with the narrowly-favored home teams today.

Baylor (-3.5) vs. Texas- Baylor is playing much better than the Longhorns right now, and already beat Texas in Austin earlier this season.

Colorado State (-2.5) vs. Utah-  My general rule is being applied across the board today.  If you have two teams that are evenly-matched and the line is within 3 points either way, then bet the home team.  That applies here, and to make things even better the Rams waxed the Utes by 15 on the road last month. 

St. Joe’s (-1.5) vs. La Salle- Same reasoning as above.

Oregon (-2.5) vs. Washington State- Same reasoning as above and Oregon already won at Wazzou.

Charleston (-5.0) vs. UT-Chattanooga- Neutral site game here, but Charleston beat Chattanooga by double-digits in both of their regular season meetings.

Yesterday’s Record: 1-0, Overall Season Record: 27-20
