Jack’s Free Sports Picks: 1/14
Written January 14, 2009 by Jack Jones
Last night’s 20* Road Bloodbath delivers on the Magic, who set an NBA record for 3-pointers and walked all over the Sacramento Kings. We weren’t so lucky in college hoops, but I’ve got a huge play in the college ranks tonight on the premium side with my 20* CBB Underdog play of the Month! Also on the premium side I’ve released a pair of 15* plays, one in NCAA basketball and the other in the NBA. Grab all 3 picks with a daily subscription, or you can pick up today’s top bet, the 20* CBB Underdog of the Month on my premium picks page.

Michigan State -4.5 over Penn State at BetUS
The Michigan State Spartans have proved that they can win just about anywhere. They are already 4-0 on the road this season and are off to a 3-0 start in Big 10 conference play. This team has won at Texas and at Minnesota already this year, so there’s no way they are intimidated by heading to Penn State to face the Lions. Over a tough 6 game stretch the Spartans have played at Texas, against Oakland, at Minnesota, at Northwestern, at home versus Ohio State, then at home against Kansas. The results? Michigan State walked away 6-0 through that brutal schedule. Looking at Penn State, their most recent game was at Minnesota, where the Spartans have already won, and they lost in a 20-point blowout to the Golden Gophers. PSU is better at home, there is no question about that, but there is also no question that Michigan State is the better team on the court tonight. Take the Spartans to the bank Wednesday.
Atlanta Hawks -4 over L.A. Clippers at Bookmaker
Take the Hawks tonight at the Clippers. L.A. continues to bet the worst team in the NBA at home this year at just 3-15 in 18 games as the host. It’s been a problem for the Clippers for some time now. In their last 32 home games, L.A. has managed to cover the spread just 8 times. Now, Atlanta is not the best road team in the world, but they certainly have the chops to take down the lowly Clippers. The Hawks are 5-1 against the spread in their last 6 games against the NBA’s Pacific division. Tonight they play one of the two worst teams in that division, the Clippers, who are 8-29 overall on the season and already 23 games behind the Lakers. The Clips have had a ton of injuries this year including losing Baron Davis a week ago. Now L.A. has to rely on Marcus Camby and Al Thorton for their production, which is not a good sign. The Clippers are up against one of the best backcourts in the NBA this year with Mike Bibby and Joe Johnson running the show for Atlanta. I truly don’t see how the Clips find any way to stop them.
