SDSU vs Wyoming NCAA Basketball Gambling Lines
The Aztecs have not lost since the second game of the season to Arizona. That means they have rattled off 20 wins in a row and with victories over Creighton, Kansas and other they have certainly earned their lofty standing.
Providence vs Georgetown CBB Picks
Prior to losing three of their last 4 games Providence was a very pleasant surprise. They had been holding their own on their homecourt with wins over the like of Creighton, Butler, Xavier and Georgetown and now have a chance to put a nail in the Hoyas coffin if they can handle them on the road too.
San Antonio vs Brooklyn NBA Picks
San Antonio is going through a bit of a lull right now. This is still one of the top contenders btu some nights they look pretty old, especially when the young guns who powered their playoff run last year are absent.
After a tough start to the AAC schedule the Huskies are playing much better lately with wins in 6 of their last 7 games. This is a good team but they have not been very strong on the road this season.
KU vs Baylor CBB Picks
After starting conference play very strongly Kansas was dominated by Texas over the weekend.
Iowa St.vs Oklahoma St. CBB Picks
The Cyclones have come back to earth a bit in conference play but if you look closely they have only two losses to Kansas and a loss to a Texas team that just whooped the Jayhawks. [ad-4468020]

ATS Matchup Insight | CP Insider Gambling Preview
Iowa State
Still there are some questions as to whether they can really stand toe to toe with the best teams in what some are calling the best conference in America. Iowa State is very good but they are a very different team away from their cozy Hilton Coliseum.
Even though the competition has stiffened the Cyclones are still scoring tons of points, ranking 7th in the nation. Melvin Ejim, Georges Niang and DeAndre Kane all average more than 16ppg and give the Cyclones a pretty diverse offense even though they lack a traditional post player. Niang has all the right moves around the hoop but since he is only 6’7″ he is far from a dominating physical presence. These guys are just really good at putting the ball through the hoop.
Early on Iowa State was a favourite of bettors but they have lost their last 6 games against the spread and are now just 9-9 ATS. This team has one in tough environments like up at BYU but they are only 2-3 SU and ATS on the road. This should be a good battle as the Cowboys are not blessed with great length either. They are catching them at a good time too.

Oklahoma State
You could tell early on on Saturday you were not getting a great effort from Oklahoma State. As it turned out they lost in overtime to a super desperate Baylor team and now they get a very good Iowa State team visiting. This team has lost their last two and three of four and seems to be searching for some answers. There is no doubt that there is a lot of talent down in Stillwater but bringing it all together has been a challenge of late.
PG Marcus Smart may be the best player in college basketball but he is forcing it lately. In the loss to Baylor he took 7 three point shots and missed them all. He is not a long range marksman and if he hadn’t made 11 trips to the foul line might have had his worst game as a collegian. They need him to get back to being an efficient all around performer instead of a guy looking to justify being the top pick in the draft. Speaking of efficient it looks like LeBryan Nash may have finally discovered his niche.
Even after their weekend setback against Baylor the Cowboys are still 5-2 ATS at home this season – that was their first SU loss. This is a game where they can exploit some matchups on the perimeter and be able to play the way they want to. Still I worry about their toughness as the Cyclones don’t give away anything.
Spread Pick: Iowa State +6
O/U Pick: N/A
Score Prediction: Oklahoma State 80 – Iowa State 76
Seahawks vs Broncos – Super Bowl Preview
Denver vs. Seattle NFL Football Betting and Predictions
The Super Bowl is finally here and we should get a good one this time around. It is the top offensive team against the top defensive team and there will be a lot of stars dotting the field.
Northwestern vs Wisconsin CBB Picks
The university has been in the news lately because the football team is talking about forming a union – whatever that means. On the hardwood things have shown some promise with wins over Purdue and Indiana last week but this is still a limited club.
Oklahoma State vs Oklahoma CBB Picks
This is a very good Cowboys team but they are not travelling very well in conference with two losses and a near loss at West Virginia. Now losses to Kansas State and Kansas by a combined 5 points is nothing to be embarrassed about but if they can not win on the road it is hard to consider them among the elite teams in the NCAAs.
The Bears have not been very good since B12 play started. They have dropped 3 of 4 games including both last week…however, they are still ahead of Kansas in the national rankings (go figure).
New England vs. Denver Football Spread/Handicapping
Well here we go again with Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning and the Patriots vs. Broncos for a trip to the Super Bowl.
Connecticut vs Memphis CBB Picks
The Huskies got off to a shaky start to their conference season by dropping both games to their league mates in Texas – Houston and SMU.
OKC vs Houston NBA Picks
The Thunder are in a funk having lost three of their last four games, all on the road too. The really surprising part is that a couple of those were not even close – like losing at Utah by 11 – and that is a big reason they are the underdog for the second game in a row for the first time all season.
Michigan State vs Northwestern CBB Picks
The Spartans are perfect in B10 play but it has taken back to back wins in overtime to get there.
Denver vs Golden State NBA Picks
Denver had their 5 game winning streak snapped with a loss at Utah to start the week. The run had pushed them over .500 for the season and now they have to tangle with one of the hottest teams in the league, on the road, at Golden State.
