Free College Basketball Picks, Expert Predictions & Parlays Against the Spread

Stony Brook at Vermont Picks and College Basketball Odds
by Alan Matthews - 1/18/2013

Part of the allure of previewing Friday night college basketball games is that I get to learn a bit more about teams I might only see in the first round of the NCAA (or NIT) Tournament. Of course, it’s also a bit of a challenge from a research perspective. There are only three games on the college basketball schedule on Friday night this week, and clearly the best of the bunch is Stony Brook at Vermont (on ESPNU), two schools I at least know a bit about.

Georgia Tech at Duke Picks and NCAA Basketball Odds
by Dave Schwab - 1/17/2013

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have the unenviable task of trying to snap a three-game losing streak with a trip to Durham this Thursday night to tangle with the Duke Blue Devils, who are coming off their first loss of the season. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 9 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.

by Trevor Whenham - 1/16/2013

Michigan State is a very good basketball team. They are loaded with talent, they are 14-3 and 3-1 in the tough Big Ten, and they are built to do some damage in the spring. The problem, though, is that they have yet to really show what they are capable of. They have struggled with consistency, they have made winning much tougher than it needs to be in some cases, and they turn the ball over with alarming frequency.
