Free Plays: Georgetown-Syracuse, Missouri-Kansas ESPN Odds Picks
Jan 25th, 2010

The Super Bowl Saints vs. Colts NFL odds may be getting a lot of attention, but top handicappers continue to win with basketball picks.

Tonight’s college basketball odds feature two great college basketball betting matchup. The No. 5 Syracuse Orange host No. 14 Georgetown, while Missouri pays a visit to third-ranked Kansas. Here are the actual premium picks of ScoresOddsPicks.com

No. 14 Georgetown at No. 5 Syracuse (-5.5) – 7:00 p.m. ET

Syracuse is the favorite at 5.5 points. The Orange (19-1, 11-4 ATS) have been on a roll, winning six in a row since the team’s only loss of the season. Not only is Syracuse winning outright, it’s also delivering for fans betting the point spread—the team has covered in five of its last six games.

Offensively, the team is fifth in the country at 84 points per game. Forward Wesley Johnson is leading the way; the junior is first on the team in scoring (17.3 PPG) and rebounding (9.1 RPG). The Orange aren’t pushovers in their own end of the floor though, and are allowing a solid 65.2 PPG on “D.”

Georgetown (15-3, 8-6 ATS) has won two straight, but the Hoyas have dropped two of their last six games, both on the road. Worse yet, the team is just 3-3 against the spread in its last six games, meaning college basketball betting fans are having a tough time backing this unpredictable squad.

Though not as potent as Syracuse’s, the Hoyas offense can score. Three players—Austin Freeman, Greg Monroe and Chris Wright—are averaging at least 15 points per game, while Jason Clark is also scoring in double figures.

This has been a very even series; the teams have split their last four meetings both straight up and against the spread. The total has gone over three straight times.

NCAAB free plays: Syracuse

Missouri at No. 3 Kansas9:00 p.m. ET

Since losing at Tennessee, the Jayhawks have won four straight. Kansas (18-1, 8-7-1 ATS) hasn’t been so hot against the spread, however, going 2-3-1 in its last six outings. There’s also a 2-4 record ATS in its last six home games for professional gamblers.

Kansas owns the country’s fourth-best offense at 84.9 points per game. Four players are averaging double-figures this season, with guard Sherron Collins leading the way at 16.0 PPG. The Jayhawks also possess a very good defense and will have a significant rebounding edge over Missouri.

Missouri (15-4, 8-5 ATS) lost 66-61 at Oklahoma two weeks ago but is in the midst of a 10-1 run. The Tigers have been great against the point spread lately, too, going 3-1 in their last four outings.

Offensively, Missouri can keep up with Kansas at 81.6 points per game. Kim English paces the team with 14.8 points per outing, but the Tigers ultimately rely on a little bit of scoring from everyone. As mentioned earlier, though, they’ll struggle on the boards; Laurence Bowers leads Missouri at just 5.9 rebounds per game.

The Jayhawks have won six of their last seven games against Missouri while covering two straight against the spread. The total has been a mixed bag, splitting 2-2 over the past four matchups.

Sportsbook bet: Kansas.
