I will do my best to provide *at least* 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! 20/21 Season: 58%
Season Record: 1-2-0
11/10 Three Ball:
Buffalo +13
Detroit Mercy +5
New Mexico Pick’Em
————————————
Buffalo +13 : This one may get scary at times, but hold on for a wild ride. Yes, Michigan will no doubt be in the mix for title contention this season.. but this is a scrappy Buffalo team that returns a lot of key veteran contributors. Jeenathan Williams and Josh Mballa are energizer bunnies at both ends of the court. They bring exceptional production to go along with that energy. I also love what Segu brings in the backcourt. Michigan gets the dub, no doubt .. but the Bulls keep it within the number.
Score Prediction: Michigan 75 – Buffalo 65
Detroit Mercy +5 : Antoine Davis, Antoine Davis, Antoine Davis. This man can straight fill it up. After turning down NBA interest, he is back for his senior season. I think we get an easy 25 piece tonight from him. He is not the reason I love this play though. Noah Waterman is a DANGEROUS piece that nobody is seemingly talking about. He is a 6’11 G/F combo that can face you, or have his back to the basket. Last season, he shot 52.8% from distance on 4.8 attempts per game!!! That is ELITE level shooting, and it is scary coming from a 6’11 wing. There is seemingly not a Cowboy defender that can handle this type of weapon. I also love the addition of D.J. Harvey from Vanderbilt. He will take some of the pressure off of Davis in the backcourt. The Titans win outright here.
Score Prediction: Detroit Mercy 75 – Wyoming 72
New Mexico Pick’Em: After a tough season for the Lobos, I think they get back to their winning ways under new head coach, Richard Patino. The Pit will be rocking tonight with fans back in attendance for Patino’s first game in charge, and I think that will play a big factor here in getting the Lobos over the edge. Jay Allen-Tovar is a nice post piece that the team added who has been excelling in the preseason. I am also excited to see what Jamal Mashburn Jr. does while teaming back up with Patino. Lobos get it done tonight.
Score Prediction: New Mexico 71 – FAU 66
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
