Jack’s Free Sports Picks: 1/8
Written January 8, 2009 by Jack Jones
I had a down night last night but I’m ready to bounce back strong on Thursday. If you haven’t decided who you are going to take tonight in the BCS Championship game, then let me help you out. I’m a PERFECT 5-0 since New Year’s Day on the bowls and have a 20* that is one of my personal favorites this postseason.
I have a solid set of three college basketball games for clients as well, including my 20* College Basketball Underdog of the Month. It’s paired up with a solid Big Ten winner and then a team out West that I think will dominate their Pac 10 game tonight.
For NHL lovers I have a Late Night Bailout play going on the Kings/Ducks. I’ve been pretty solid all season long on the ice and can help you get some back or else capitalize on early profits with this one.
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.

There’s not any doubt that Arizona State is the better team, but 21 points is far too much in this conference showdown. The Beavers have started to play well on defense and that has made them a much better team than they have been in the past. They even pulled off an overtime victory over USC earlier this year, snapping a 21-game Pac-10 losing streak for the squad. Oregon State is moving in the right direction. A win would be very surprising, but I would be even more surprised if they didn’t cover tonight.
Take the Montana Grizzlies over the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks tonight. Montana has enjoyed playing on their home hardwood this season, earning a 6-1 record already, a record that has been part of a 6-2 ATS home winning run. Meanwhile, Northern Arizona has been awful on the road and have lost all 8 of their games as the visitor this season. The Lumberjacks have allowed over 80 points in 3 of their last 4 games, couple that with the fact that they haven’t won yet on the road this year and you’ve got an easy winning combination for the Grizzlies Thursday.
To say the Knicks have been up and down this year would be an understatement. Just look at their win at home over Boston as a 10 point underdog on Sunday, followed by a collapse at Oklahoma City as a 2 point road favorite. New York heads to Dallas tonight to try to stop a 6-game losing streak against the Mavs. What the Knicks have been good for lately has been covering the spread. They are on a 7-2 ATS run against the spread on the road and a 9-2 ATS run as an underdog. As for Dallas, they are on a little run of their own, owning just a 7-20 record against the spread on their home court. Tonight New York keeps it within a few baskets in Dallas.
