I will do my best to provide college basketball winners for you on a nightly basis. The majority of the nights we will try to keep it to three plays, but some days may ask for more. I recommend you play them individually .. however, never be scared of a little sniper parlay!
Season Record: 13-11-0
Season Best Bet Record: 5-3
11/16 Card:
Oakland +16
Florida Gulf Coast +21
Texas PK
————————————
Oakland +16 : Beat the market yet again. We locked this in last night, and now the Golden Grizzlies are +13.5. You may be scared to play them again after they burned us against Oklahoma State, but don’t write this team off just yet. I truly believe that is an aberration for what their season will look like. This is a massive letdown spot for Toledo. They are coming off of a big win against UAB in the Barstool Invitational. Barstool put a lot of time and resources into their inaugural tournament, and Toledo has had a lot of exposure over the last few days due to it. They were even at the Barstool College Football Show last night celebrating with their trophy before the Rockets home game against Bowling Green. I feel like this could be an edge for Oakland. They are pissed off and ready to write their wrongs from the last game, and Toledo could be lost in the hype from this weekend’s action. I still love the balanced attack from Oakland, and Toledo’s defense is not impressing me. I think the lid comes off of the rim from distance, and the Golden Grizzlies are in this one until the end. This is my Best Bet.
Score Prediction: Toledo 81 – Oakland 73
Florida Gulf Coast +21 : Too many points here. We know Florida Gulf Coast likes to “big game hunt” (ask USC), and Tennessee’s defense looked very shaky in their loss to Colorado. They allowed the Buffs to score 78 points in route to their victory. After taking a deep dive, I saw that Tennessee allowed 8 threes. Colorado does not rely on the three point line, so that is a decent amount of makes. That is not a good sign with a FGCU team coming in who bombs it from three. The Eagles have shot 99 threes in 3 games, and have made 38 of them. Their path to covering this big number will be through the three point line. Keep an eye out for Stetson transfer, Chase Johnston. In their two games vs D1 opponents (USC & San Diego) he shot 9/20 from three. He is an absolute bucket and can get his shot off no matter who is defending him. If we keep him out of foul trouble, the Eagles can score enough in Knoxville to cover.
Score Prediction: Tennessee 79 – Florida Gulf Coast 63
Texas PK : Longhorn Nation! This is the game I have had circled since the offseason. As you may know, I have a preseason title ticket on Texas. I think this could be their year. There is nothing like testing yourself early on against Mark Few and the Zags. This Texas team is complete now that they have a true point guard running the show. Tyrese Hunter is the real deal folks. Also, the defense is clicking in Year 2 of the Chris Beard system. You know from his Texas Tech teams that this is the backbone of his programs, and the Longhorns look to be exceling in that area this year. They only allowed 31 points last time out to Houston Christian. Yeah, I get it. Houston Christian. .. but 31 points is 31 points. Gonzaga has been very sloppy with the ball this season. 16 turnovers per game. The newly opened Moody Center will be absolutely rocking tonight, and could lead to even more mental errors from Gonzaga. Defense is the path to victory for Texas. They get it done tonight and cement themselves as title contenders.
Score Prediction: Texas 71 – Gonzaga 68
Best of luck! Let’s snipe this one y’all!!
