Free Picks for Thursday

Remember that these are the weakest plays I’ve picked out, and will not be playing them personally. The best bets on the board will always be available only to premium subscribers. Where do I find these lines? Check out our NBA odds and college basketball lines pages to see which sportsbook has the best number!

Take Houston Rockets at Indiana Pacers total OVER 211 at BetUS

The Pacers help this one get over the number tonight. The Pacers give up over 106 points per game this season, while scoring 104.2 points per game. Houston should be able to boost their 97.4 points per game against this defense and help rack up enough points tonight. The Over is 21-7 in Indiana’s last 28 games overall and 12-5 in Houston’s last 17 road games. Expect a lot of scoring tonight and both teams to head over the century mark with time to spare in the 4th quarter.

Take Canisius +6.5 over Marist at Bookmaker
Take the Canisius Golden Griffins tonight at Marist against the Red Foxes. The Griffins are 5-1-1 in their last 7 games against the spread as a road underdog. Meanwhile the Red Foxes are 1-5 against the spread in their last 6 games as a home favorite and they are 2-10-1 in the last 13 meetings between the two schools. This is a Marist team that won 18 games last year, but they have just one returning starter to this year’s squad and they have certainly struggled to start their season. I’ll take the Griffins and the points as these teams are evenly matched.

Free Pick Records:

CBB: 17-18
NBA: 6-9
NHL: 1-0
CFB: 3-1
NFL: 4-1

I think Houston will go under; they still love to take their time in the half-court set…

I agreed with Canisius but you helped make that decision. Took them small and looks good early.

I am not sure about DePaul because I think Marquette is tough at home where they seem to never quit but I kinda agree with the Iowa St. pick because this is not the same Kansas but the public like to play them and Vegas knows that but Kansas is still good. I will follow both small and see how it goes. Best of Luck.

Well it didnt work like we thought but it was an effort but Iowa St.couldnt get it together and put it in the bucket. Looking hard for something to bust loose with now.
Thanks and Good Luck Always.

I agree that Texas will beat Baylor. In big games Texas has more experience, they have been there and Baylor is trying to get there.
I also agree the Cav’s will throttle the Kings. The Cav’s play D and they can score.
