Jack’s Free Sports Picks: 3/26
Written March 26, 2009 by Jack Jones
We cash in on yet another 20* in the NBA yesterday on the Celtics/Magic UNDER. That brings us to 33-22 with our last 55 on basketball BEST BETS and we are now 12-4 on our last 16 in the NBA. For Thursday we have a small card for now with a 15* on the Lakers/Pistons and our 20* CBB No-Brainer going on Xavier/Pitt. A couple of totals are also being looked at in college basketball. Grab my package now at the Jack Jones home page or take a look at some of the NCAA basketball picks & NBA picks being released by our other top handicappers.

Free Picks for Thursday
So I know I’ve had this disclaimer about the free picks being the weakest plays and that I don’t play them, but I really put 1% of my bankroll on these games in comparison to 3-4% on the regular and BEST BETS. I just don’t want people getting ridiculous on the free picks when they aren’t intended to be the highest percentage of winners that I offer. Where do I find these lines? Check out our NBA odds and college basketball lines pages to see which sportsbook has the best number!
Memphis -4.5 over Missouri at BetUS
I think the Tigers continue to show value despite having won 27 straight games. Missouri almost blew a 16 point lead against Marquette, who might have had Dominic James back in their lineup but he wasn’t at full strength. I think Memphis will have very little trouble with Missouri’s press do to the height of their guards. The Missouri players have over-achieved just making it this far, while Calipari and company have their sites on the Final Four and another national championship game. I see Memphis winning this game easily so lay the points.
Free Pick Records:
CBB: 50-35
NBA: 22-27
NHL: 4-0 (+665)
CFB: 3-1
NFL: 4-1
I also post my free picks on Twitter so if you follow me there it may be easier to get the picks if you are away from your computer.

Got something to say?
you like memphis to cover or is the moneyline safer?

I think mizz not only covers tonight but wins. Upset city tonight. Memphis is over rated and it will show tonight. Mizz 72-69

I am with you on this on Jack.
The cream will rise to the top now

Good pick let’s keep it going

I like Memphis to cover…….
Reply
im conflicted
Reply
Since Memphis is my pick to win the whole tournament I definitely this they will cover on this one.
Reply
i like memphis here to- mizzou too soft on the defensive side of the ball.
Reply
I like missouri Memphis is now as good as billed
Reply
this will be a battle, thinks its a toss up so i may be going with mizzu..just haven’t seen memphis play a lot this year, big 12 is pretty good also.
Reply
Memphis BABY riding them to the Final 4 easy cover…
Reply
I have Memphis in my bracket and winning it all so I like your play. So looking at it objectively, the Missou forwards are better and they are a more disciplined team. Memphis can get into a street ball run and gun and can lead to turnovers quick. But Memphis has been to the championship before and at this late in the tourney the coaching and crunch time players should play better…tough game to call.
Reply
good call
Reply
Memphis is going all the way and will cover here easily
Reply
I like memphis here. I think they could possible blow mizzu out in this one.
Reply
i would feel better with the moneyline personally
Reply
Hope your right!
Reply
i agree with this one, definitely think memphis is gonna beat up on mizzou, mizzou better come ready to play or this one isnt gonna be close
Reply
Man i hope you’re right!
Reply
Should be a good FH as both teams try to take control of game,really see a close one here but memphis knows what to do here and should win as Mizz is not used to this kind of pressure.GL tonight
Reply
memphis came out solid against maryland and im sure they will continue to do the same…good pick jack
Reply
Memphis covers easily, winning by 6-8 points. They have the edge on talent, having 3-4 guys that will end up in the NBA. I also like their tourney experience.
Reply
I like Memphis because of their guard play and the height and strength advantage they have on the Mizz guards. Memphis should have been a 1 seed.
Reply
yessirrr

GREAT CALL JACK,MEM.WILL COVER EASILY
Reply
You are the man Jack
Reply
I definitely think the play is on the tigers tonight. Take the tigers and rest easy. What there both tigers? All right then I will roll with the tigers from Memphis. It looks to me like they are hitting there stride.
Reply
Jack, I can’t make myself give Missouri points. Hey Jack, are you aware that Missouri IS the show me State. I like Missouri and over in this one. good luck
Reply
jack any nba picks for tonight .. im confused about miami and pheonix .. one of the has to win tonight !!
Reply
Totally agree with this pick should the pick of the tourney wins double digits
Reply
I see a close game until about halfway through the 2nd half when Memphis blows it open and wins by double digits.
Reply
Memphis loves playing against BCS conference teams. They are playing with a chip on their shoulder. I can’t wait for a Louisville/Memphis Regional Final.
Reply
Memphis has too many weapons to lose this game. I don’t think Missouri will counter well enough in this spot. A three point buy makes this bet a near lock. At -4.5 it’s a little iffy but still has a good chance.
Reply
this could go any way. i would rather bet on pitt, and uconn..
Reply
Not sure I agree, but should be a great game.
Reply
Memphis will not only cover tonight, but they will be in the Final Game in a couple weeks. They are the real deal, and Missou will not be able to close this one out. Great pick Jack.

True that Sir. Good call.

Tough pick Jack – outstanding 20* call last night though!
Reply
i see this track meet coming down to the wire. memphis seems untested and mizzou seems to be outworking teams. dont like the spread being -4.5 although the cover could come down to free throws in the end. i think memphis wins and mizzou covers so take the points or play the memphis ML because mike davis knows calipari and this matchup stays close. get the popcorn ready…this will be the best game to watch tonight!
Reply
The streak is on… Good call last night on the under… and i like tonights memphis pick… memphis should steamroll over missouri… Lets keep it going jack…
Reply
jack i dont think memphis will pull it off tonight
Reply
I don’t like this pick. I think mizou has a good shot of upsetting the tigers.
Reply
I am stay away from this game…
Reply
I was thinking to bet memphis -4.5 tonight now I feel more comfortable!!
Thanks!
Reply
I agree that Mphis will crush Mo tonight. They EW MY ncaa CHAMPS. They ARE superior amd more atletic than Mo.
Reply
This game will be very telling. Memphis hasn’t really had to show its hand much in this tourney until tonight. Mizzou’s athleticism, speed, and discipline, plus the fact that coach Anderson of Mizzou knows Calipari well from his days in Conference USA, will expose Memphis tonight. CAL-Northridge gave Memphis fits…..no coincidence when we see Memphis once again fighting for their lives this evening. Calling the upset. Mizzou moves on.
Reply
I like memphis a lot.
Reply
Good pick–although it will mess up my bracket…
Reply
no way. mizzou wins out right.
Reply
100% agree with Memphis!!! Defense wins championships!
Reply
Jack, its time to jump aboard the wagon baby, Mizzu always has room for one more lol. This team is the real deal. By the way, congrats on an awesome night last night

Yes, Mizz is an outstanding basketball team. They will be very close to Uconn. I have them in the final four.
