For Monday, December 29th I have four pretty solid free picks for readers. I don’t have anything on the Alamo Bowl tonight but my lean would be towards taking Missouri and the OVER. No hockey action tonight, but we do have a PAIR of pretty strong NBA picks for premium clients to take advantage of. Don’t miss out on any chances to beat the NBA odds and win with your NBA betting this year!

Orlando Magic -2.5
The Magic have won seven straight games after taking care of Minnesota on Saturday 118-94. Orlando has shown that they can win on the road all year long, going 11-3 away from home, including three straight. Detroit has looked a little better lately in winning three in a row and six of their last eight, but at 17-11 I think this team is a step below the streaking Magic. This series has gone the Pistons way lately, with Detroit winning six of eight and 10 of 13. The Magic have also go just 1-7 their last eight appearances in Auburn Hills. This is what kept me from playing this game, but I think the Magic will want to make a statement and come away with a win when they head to Detroit.

Tennessee Tech -2.5
These two teams have already played this year and the Golden Eagles from Tennessee Tech won that matchup by a score of 108-70. Even though Tennessee Tech has struggled recently, I’m pretty convinced that a team that won by nearly 40 a month ago can handle 2.5 points the second time around. The Warhawks are 3-8 this year for a reason, they just aren’t that good.

Niagara -5
Murray State has lost four of their last five comes coming into this game and the Races are coming off a 57-41 loss to Wright State. The Purple Eagles on the other hand have looked good all season long in winning nine of their first 11 games, including four in a row. Niagara is coming off a 83-65 win against St. Bonny and their explosive offense should be too much for a Racers team that has had problems scoring this year.

UConn -7
The Huskies haven’t lost yet this season and have won eight of their 11 contests by double digits. I know that Georgetown has already knocked off Memphis and Maryland this year, but those two teams aren’t nearly as good as this Huskies squad. The fact that UConn gets this game at home, in front of what should be a fired up crowd getting to see their Huskies first real test, should be a big boost. UConn is just too dominant down low and while Greg Monroe has been solid this year for the Hoyas, he is a little inexperienced. UConn wins by 10 here.

Free Pick Records:
CBB: 1-1 (-10)
NBA: 0-1 (-110)
NHL: 1-0 (+100)
