UCLA -10 over Notre Dame at BetUS
To say Notre Dame has fallen apart would be an understatement. Most pundits put this team in the Top 10 earlier in the year when they got off to their 10-2 start, but 12-9 those days are long gone. I don’t even think this team should make the NCAA Tournament right now after their double digit loss to Cincinnati. UCLA on the other hand is 8-2 in Pac-10 play and 18-4 overall. On Wednesday I was impressed with their 76-60 win over USC and I’m impressed with how they are only allowing 60.5 ppg while scoring 76.1 ppg. The Irish aren’t playing good enough defense to contain the Bruins, while UCLA will find a way to slow down Luke Harangody and the Irish offense. 83-69 UCLA
Villanova -5.5 over Syracuse at BetUS
I don’t feel as strong about this game but it’s on ESPN today so I figured I’d put a small amount of action on it myself.  The Wildcats have won four straight games to get to 18-4 overall and 6-3 in the Big East, while the Orange have been sliding a little bit, losing their last three games in January. Sure they just beat West Virginia, but the backcourt really carried them through in that game and they won’t be able to score on the more athletic Villanova team quite as easily. This Wildcat team is putting up 75 ppg with Dante Cunningham, Scottie Reynolds, and Corey Fisher all averaging double digits. I just can’t see the Orange stealing one from Villanova on their home floor, but I can see the Wildcats winning by double digits. I’m predicting a 76-68 final in this one.

Notre Dame is in absolute shambles, they lost 3 major games in conference that saw their stock fall and fall, now they’re just trying to hold on and a bout with UCLA doesnt look like the cure for their problems, i see them possibly giving up on the season here and crumbling to UCLA. Nice pick!
Nova and Cuse is one of the toughest games on the board right now, both teams are solid but one is playing a big better than the other right now, thats nova. Cuse have talent and can score but i don’t know if they’re just that good away from the carrier dome, hope you win JACK
Thanks and Great LUCK

Someone yesterday commented about how they lost even though the games went 4-1 because they parlayed the games. I’ve got a post on how parlays can be profitable here: http://www.betfirms.com/how-parlays-can-be-profitable/ but you should note that they can be disastrous unless you have proven you can hit at a high percentage.

ucla solid defense should get the job done at home, now syracuse on the road in big east play not a winning combo,i think nova covers the small numder. your hot j.j. keep it going.

once again I agree, think UCLA wins this easy, may start slow because of the start time out there but should have no problem and I think Cuse struggles outside the Dome and Nova wins pulling away late. Best of Luck and STAY HOT.
Thanks for the help and info.

I was quick to jump on UCLA over ND because the Irish are imploding. I am staying away from the Nova Orange game because I can see that game ending in any fashion. Keep up the good work Jack!

I completely agree with both of Jacks picks today. Keep up the great work.

Notre Dame has been struggling as of late but its hard to take the Bruins -10 points. Notre Dame is a streaky team that lives off the three point shot. If Notre Dame gets hot the Irish could win this game outright.

I think both of these teams will go quite well, would be a good parlay.

Well boys that was an easy 2-0 day on the free picks, on a great run right now with the free ones. Also hit Pitt as the early premium pick, but Arizona is only up one at the half over that puke team from Oregon. Let’s hope for a comeback. Let’s cash tonight in the NBA and thanks for everyone who commented!
