Sports Handicapping Service Shattering Long-Standing Records |
Feb 5th, 2010 Ask any sportsbook,
Vegas runner, oddsmaker, or any
gamblers of any level. ScoresOddsPicks has made the most phenomenal impression
of any debut sports handicapper. Thursday night it was 6-1
to go to 49-21. Here is what you missed. NCAA Basketball Picks for
February 4 By Shea Matthews Even ranked teams aren’t
safe, as the Michigan State Spartans showed us last night in their loss to
Wisconsin. The good news? We called it. You’re in good hands with our picks for
Thursday then, aren’t you? THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4 (19) Georgia Tech (16-5)
vs (9) Duke (17-4) Ooh, ranked-versus-ranked
matchups always get me giddy. Though Georgia Tech handles itself well on the
road, going 8-2 against the spread over its last 10, Duke is a powerhouse at home.
Coach K’s Blue Devils are undefeated straight up and 8-3 ATS at home this
season. They’ve won eight of 10 against the Yellow Jackets, including five
straight at home. Pick: Duke Florida (15-6) vs Alabama
(13-8) These football giants
produce football-like scores on the hardwood. Combined, they’ve gone 22-7 on
the under this year. There’s no clear advantage for either team but Florida
scores more and Alabama is only 5-5 ATS at home. Pick: Florida Detroit (14-8) vs (15)
Butler (18-4) Careful here! Butler is a
force but not against the spread. Detroit is 7-1 ATS in its last eight road
games and Butler is 4-10 ATS in its last 14 home games. Even during Butler’s
current dominant run, it’s 5-5 ATS in its last 10. Butler will win, but
evidence suggests it won’t cover. Pick: Detroit North Carolina (13-8) vs
Virginia Tech (16-4) It’s been a rocky year
for UNC, which clearly misses Ty Lawson and Tyler Hansbrough. The Tar Heels
aren’t keeping games close on the road of late, going 3-7 ATS in their last 10.
Virginia Tech is the reverse, going 7-3 ATS in its last 10 home games. North Carolina has won five straight
meetings but this is a different team; I think VT avenges its road loss from a
few weeks ago. Pick: Virginia Tech Portland (14-7) vs (13)
Gonzaga (17-4) High-flying Gonzaga loves
to score, averaging 79 points per game; that produces a 14-4 over record this
season. I think you know what to bet there. Gonzaga has lost four straight ATS
but won six straight ATS before that slide. Playing Portland, whom Gonzaga has
beaten 10 straight times, is a recipe for redemption. Expect big nights from
Matt Bouldin and Elias Harris. Pick: Gonzaga NBA odds: LeBron and
D-Wade face off once again NBA odds feature two
great matchups tonight. First, Dwyane Wade and the Heat will try avenging a
recent one-point loss to LeBron James and the Cavaliers. On the West Coast, the
Spurs are trying to snap a four-game skid against Portland. Miami Heat at Cleveland
Cavaliers (-9.5) – 8:05 p.m. ET Dwyane Wade is once
against showing signs of wear-and-tear, and it’s hurting the Heat. Miami
(24-25, 24-25 ATS) has lost three straight games and only covered twice in its
last six outings. Wade was brilliant against Boston last night (30 points, 15
assists) but he’s playing hurt and hasn’t been as impressive on zero-days rest
(22.0 PPG compared to his season average of 27.0) LeBron James, on the
other hand, has been absolutely incredible. Many thought the Cavaliers (39-11,
26-23-1 ATS) were in trouble when guards Mo Williams and Delonte West went down
with injuries a few weeks ago, but James has simply morphed his game and played
the role of distributor. The result is nine straight wins, including a
five-game winning streak against the spread and covering four of their last
five at home. Cleveland has covered six
of its last nine games against Miami, including a few weeks ago on January 25.
James and D-Wade had an impressive duel but the Cavs came out on top 92-91 when
Wade missed two big free throws with less than a minute left (the Cavs were
one-point underdogs). In fact, he had only two points in the second half after
scoring 30 in the first. Now, coming off a busy game in Boston, he’s likely to
be worn out. Bet on Cleveland to win and cover again. Pick: Cleveland San Antonio Spurs (-2) at
Portland Trailblazers – 10:30 p.m. ET Things are getting
uncomfortable in Portland, where the Trailblazers (29-22, 28-22-1 ATS) have
lost four of their last six games. Despite the failures straight up, NBA
betting fans have still been able to trust Portland; the team is 6-3 ATS in its
last nine games. That’s especially impressive since star player Brandon Roy
played just18 minutes in that span, completely missing all but one game. The
Blazers have been far from dominant at home, though, with a 3-2 record in their
last five games at the Rose Garden. San Antonio (28-19,
23-23-1 ATS) has won three of four but went just 2-2 against the point spread.
Hitting the road might actually do the Spurs some good after winning only twice
during a six-game home stand. The Spurs have only covered once in their last
four games away from home, though. Like Portland, the Spurs are contending with
injuries. Point guard Tony Parker has sat out three straight games with an
ankle injury, though he’s expected to play tonight. Portland has beat San
Antonio in four consecutive games, including 4-0 against the spread. That run
is about to come to an end, though. Roy is debating playing tonight but he
certainly isn’t 100 percent and is a much better bet to suit up this weekend. With
Parker returning (and his replacement George Hill playing well anyway) look for
the Spurs to snap their losing streak to the Blazers. Pick: San Antonio For more information: Get ScoresOddsPicks plays exclusive where the best sports picks reside at OffshoreInsiders.com |
