I will do my best to provide a daily three ball of picks for all of you snipers out there. The goal is a 2-1 night, with some 3-0’s sprinkled occasionally. I recommend you play them individually .. however, never be scared of a little three ball parlay!
Season Record: 13-11-1
12/16 Three Ball:
Purdue -4
Pittsburgh -2.5
Samford -1.5
—————————-
Purdue -4: For starters, you love getting Purdue at home. Matt Painter always has the boys ready to play at Mackey. I don’t always love their road play, so this is a nice spot to grab them at home. The Boilermakers are also crushing the glass this year with Trevion Williams, Zach Edey and Aaron Wheeler. I love having that in the arsenal when betting a side. The Buckeyes are coming in without their leading scorer, E.J. Liddell. This will cause problems on the road.
Score Prediction: Purdue 67 – Ohio State 58
Pittsburgh -2.5 : Pittsburgh is rolling into this game hot. They are getting strong play from veterans Champagnie, Johnson and Toney. The Northwestern comeback may be a tone setter for this 20/21 season. As much as I love Pitt this year, this play is also about Miami. They have really struggled to score the basketball, and they are in DEEP inactive trouble tonight. Anthony Yero (305 Sports) is reporting that Lykes, McGusty, Miller, Cross, and Gak will all miss tonight’s contest. This leaves Miami with 6 healthy players – and a walk-on will have to start. Hammer this play. I have multi-units on this one.
Score Prediction: Pitt 74 – Miami 62
Samford -1.5: Going back to the well with our Bulldogs! They had a massive cover against UGA on Saturday, and led for about 39 minutes of that contest. They are on the road against a Troy team that is pretty solid defensively, but they are a dreadful offensive team. They are shooting it 34% from the field, 65% from the line, and 23% from 3. They will not be able to score with Samford. I like this one almost as much as the Pitt game.
Score Prediction: Samford 77 – Troy 65
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
