He has been known to go on great streaks but lets face it, the Big Sky is not loaded with tons of athletes and defensive stoppers.<\/p>\n Kudos to Montana on a solid season but it would be a real shock if they made it to the second round.<\/p>\n New Mexico vs. Montana Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n New Mexico is the easy favourite at -9 Betting Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n Grizzlies are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 Free Lobos vs. Grizzlies CBB Pick<\/strong><\/p>\n The Lobos should easily dispacth Montana as they get aclimatized to Tournament life. The best thing that could happen for them would be for someone other than Hobson to step up in this one and gain some confidence for later rounds.<\/p>\n Score prediction: <\/strong> New Mexico 69 – Montana 56<\/p>\n 2010 Bracketology (Click Links Below To View Each March Madness Bracket)<\/strong><\/p>\n MIDWEST Bracket (St. Louis)<\/strong><\/a> Gamblers looking for the best online free march madness picks<\/strong><\/a> and 2010 bracket predictions?
