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: 50-38-4
1/5 Three Ball:
Ohio -14
Dayton 1H -6.5 / -11.5
Longwood +2
————————————
Ohio -14: Northern Illinois has been woeful to start this season. They have gotten out to a 1-7 record, and this has caused Mark Montgomery to lose his job. This team is lost, and they certainly will not find themselves on the road at Ohio. Jacob Preston has a fringe NBA future, and will dominate this game. Triple-double watch is on. Also, Ben Roderick has been exceptional since his return from injury. Bobcats early and often!
Score Prediction: Ohio 82 – Northern Illinois 60
Dayton -6.5 1H / -11.5 : Fordham has embarrassed themselves in the first two games of this season. Dayton is of a higher caliber than Lasalle and GW, and I expect them to jump on Fordham as well. They absolutely DOMINATE the guard match-up with Crutcher and Watson. Also, Mustapha Amzil was named A-10 Freshman of the Week after his monster debut performances. This 6’10 versatile forward is a very welcomed piece to the Flyers after the loss of Chase Johnson. Dayton should get it done on both sides here.
Score Prediction: Dayton 77 – Fordham 61
Longwood +2: Using the back-to-back system for this play. USC Upstate is simply not good enough to win back-to-back days against a conference opponent that is evenly matched. Hell, Longwood is more than likely a tad better than Upstate. Longwood squeaks out a close one on the road and they split the series.
Score Prediction: Longwood 71 – USC Upstate 67
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
