YESTERDAYS PICK RESULTS
Overall:
S2thuhB: 11-10
L's: 9-9
Phillsz: 6-7
Will: XX-XX
Manchester City W @ Everton W/D:
S2thuhB’s Pick: Manchester City (Dro)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:Man City ( Dro )
Will’s Pick:
Albany 3-Pointers Made or Tie @ Vermont Winning Margin:
Vermont won both matchups against Albany this year, by 25 at home, and by 7 @ Albany. With a similar prop in both games, Vermont takes this easily. The conference tourney was hosted by Albany this year, but Vermont is the highest ranked remaining school, so the finals are in Burlington. While Albany averages about 6.5 3PM/G, the Catamounts should be able to pull off an easy 7+ point win at home in the finals!
S2thuhB’s Pick: Vermont (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick: Vermont ( Reggie )
Will’s Pick:
Southern Miss 3-Pointers Made or Tie / Memphis Winning Margin:
The line currently sits at O/U 144 with Memphis -4 favorites. SMU averages 6.8 3PM/G, and in their only matchup this year @SMU, Memphis won by 8 while SMU went 1-12 from behind the arc. Head to head, Memphis has beaten SMU 4 of the last 5 times they’ve played, at home by 6, 2, and 3, and @SMU by 13; while the lone loss came @SMU by 3.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Memphis (Dro)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:Memphis ( Reggie )
Will’s Pick:
Alabama Crimson Tide vs Florida Gators: Florida by 15+ / AOR
Florida are currently 13.5 point favorites to win this game and the O/U is 116. Florida has won the last 5 matchups against Alabama, with only one 17 point victory covering this prop. The others were a 12 point victory at home in the most recent, and an 11 point win @Alabama back in Feb. This will come close and the last few minutes should be the deciding factor.
S2thuhB’s Pick: AOR (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:15+ ( Reggie )
Will’s Pick:
North Carolina State Wolfpack vs Miami Hurricanes:
The line currently favors Miami at -4 but NC State has been playing much better ball the past couple weeks. State lost to Miami by 1 at home on a buzzer beater back in February, but they were without their starting PG Lorenzo Brown (12.3 PPG / 7.2 Assists) and CJ Miles (15.0 PPG) didn’t start and came off the bench for disciplinary reasons. With that, Miles was still able to score 18, but did play 38 minutes. With both back and starting, I see the Wolfpack pulling off the upset here, especially playing up the highway in Greensboro.
S2thuhB’s Pick: NC State (Dro)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:Miami ( Dro )
Will’s Pick:
Dominican Republic vs Puerto Rico: Dominican by 2+ / AOR
The Dominicans are favored at -270 to win this matchup with the OU at 8.5. I see scoring frenzy in this one and the Dominican should be able to pull of the 2+ run victory.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Dominican 2+ (Dro)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick: DR( Dro )
Will’s Pick:
Butler Bulldogs vs St Louis Billikens:
The 16th ranked St Louis currently sit as -4 favorites at the moment with the OU at 124. The Billikens won both matchups against Butler this year, by 4 @ Butler and by 17 at home. This game is being played at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and I don’t see why Butler would be on anyone’s mind to win this.
S2thuhB’s Pick: St. Louis (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:St.Louis ( Dro )
Will’s Pick:
Wisconsin 3-Pointers Made / Indiana Winning Margin or Tie:
The line currently favors Indiana at -6.5 with the OU at 128. Wisconson averages 7.25 3PM/G. In their only meeting this year Wisconsin pulled out the 5 point victory @Indiana on 7 3PM. It is worth noting that game was Indiana’s worst offensive performance of the season scoring 59 points on 37% (.370) shooting. With that said, I don’t see Wisconson beating them again, but the score should stay close.
S2thuhB’s Pick: 3-Pointers Made (Dro)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick: Indiana ( Kush )
Will’s Pick:
Will Adam Scott be leader (or co-leader) at the end of the third round:
Scott shot a -1 (70) in the first round, and a -5 (66) the second putting him in second 1 stroke behind the leader. If he continues this dominance he’s shown through the first two rounds, I see him easily taking the lead, or at least ending tied. It’s worth noting I’ve been wrong on every golf prop for this tourney.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Yes (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick: No ( Reggie )
Will’s Pick:
Ottawa Senators vs Buffalo Sabres:
Buffalo is favored -130 to win this matchup with the OU at 5. Both teams are terrible in their last 5, with Buffalo going 1-2-2 and Ottowa going 1-1-3. However, Ottowa is 4-0-1 in the last 5 matchups against Buffalo, though they are only 2-3-0 in their last 5 in Buffalo. This game could go either way, and I see a shootout deciding it.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Buffalo Sabres (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:Sabres ( Reggie)
Will’s Pick:
Minnesota Wild @ Colorado Avalanche:
As it sits, Colorado sits as a -120 favorite with the OU at 5. Colorado is 2-3 in their last 5, with Minnesota at 3-2. H2H favors Colorado at 3-2, including an OT win @ MIN, though Minnesota owns a 4-1 record in their last 5 in Colorado.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Avalanche (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:Wild ( Reggie )
Will’s Pick:
Thomas Berdych vs Raphael Nadal: Nadal wins 2-0 / AOR
Nadal is the clear favorite to win here and owns a 5-0 record against Berdych in their last 5 matchups, in which Nadal went 2-0 three times, 2-1 once, and 3-1 once.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Nadal 2-0 (Dro)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:Nadal 2-0 ( Reggie )
Will’s Pick:
Chicago Fire W/D @ Sporting Kansas City:
As it stands, KC is favored at -230 to take this prop. The H2H favors Chicago in their last 5 3-1-1, including going 2-2-1 in their last 5 in KC. With the draw option I think Chicago is the pick here.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Chicago (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:Fire W/D ( Reggie )
Will’s Pick:
Vanderbilt Commodores vs Ole Miss Rebels:
The line currently sits Ole Miss -5 with the OU at 133. Both are 4-1 in their last 5 games, and Vanderbilt owns the H2h at 4-1 in their last 5, though that 1 loss was at home this year by 10 in OT.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Mississippi (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:
Will’s Pick:
North Carolina Tar Heels vs Maryland Terrapins:
The line favors UNC at -4.5 with the OU at 141.5. UNC is 4-1 in their last 5 while Maryland is 3-2. North Carolina owns the H2H going 5-0 in the last 5, and Maryland lost both matchups against UNC this year, both by double digits. I don’t see why you would take Maryland here.
S2thuhB’s Pick: UNC (Kush)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:
Will’s Pick:
Michigan State Spartans vs Ohio State Buckeyes:
The line currently sits at OSU -1, with the OU at 122. They split the season, both winning on their home courts; however, the H2H over the past 4 years slightly favors Ohio State at 4-3, mostly close games decided by 10 or less.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Ohio State (Dro)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:Sparty ( Reggie )
Will’s Pick:
Prairie View A&M vs Southern Jaguars: Souther 15+ / AOR
The line sits at Southern -11.5. Needing 3.5 to cover this I’d say go A&M, though it’s worth noting that they just lost to Southern at home by 22 a few weeks ago.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Prairie View (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:
Will’s Pick:
North Carolina A&T Aggies vs Morgan State Bears:
Morgan State is favored -2 in this one. It’s a toss-up and should only be chosen if you’re on an L.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Morgan State (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:
Will’s Pick:
Kansas State Wildcats vs Kansas Jayhawks:
Kansas are 5 point favorites to win here, and beat K-State both times they played this year.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Jayhawks (Dro)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:
Will’s Pick:
New Mexico Lobos vs UNLV Rebels:
The line currently sits at -4 in favor of UNLV. They split the 2 matchups this season, each winning on their home court.
S2thuhB’s Pick: UNLV (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick: Lobos ( Dro )
Will’s Pick:
Ohio Bobcats vs Akron Zips:
The line favors Ohio at -1.5 with the OU at 140. Akron beat Ohio both times they played this year, and it’s tough to beat a team 3 times in a row, and with the line so close I think it could go either way.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Ohio (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick: Akron ( Reggie )
Will’s Pick:
Phoenix Coyotes @Columbus Blue Jackets:
S2thuhB’s Pick: Blue Jackets (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:Yotes ( Reggie )
Will’s Pick:
Montreal Canadians @ New Jersey Devils:
These teams have basically split the H2H 3-2 (3-1-1 in favor of the Devils). Montreal are -125 favorites to win the matchup with the OU at 5. Montreal has the better overall record, and is a solid 9-2-2 on the road this season, while the Devils are 9-3-2 at home. Despite the Devils being a great home team, the Canadians are 4-1 in their last 5 trips to Americas Armpit. This is a total toss-up to me and wouldn’t put anything above W3 on it.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Devils (Reggie)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:Montreal ( Kush )
Will’s Pick:
Carolina Hurricanes @ Tampa Bay Lightning:

Will’s Pick:
Portland Timbers W/D @ Seattle Sounders:
Seattle are favored -140 to take this one. They split the last 5 matchups going 2-1-2, and are 1-3-1 in their last 5 in Seattle.
S2thuhB’s Pick: Seattle (Dro)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick: Sounders ( Reggie )
Will’s Pick:
Northwestern State Demons vs Stephen F Austin Lumberjacks:
Stephen F Austin is currently favored at -2.5 and the OU is at 125. They split the season this year, each winning one on their home court.

L's’s Pick:

Will’s Pick:
Carlos Condit vs Johnny Hendricks:
Hendricks is currently at -130 to win this matchup. Condit’s record sits at 28-6 (13-0 TKO / 13-3 Submission), while Hendrick’s is at 14-1(8-0 TKO / 1-0 Submission).
S2thuhB’s Pick: Hendricks (Dro)
L's’s Pick:
Phillsz’s Pick:Hendricks
Will’s Pick:
Georges St-Pierre by Unanimous Decision / AOR:
St. Pierre is 23-2 (8-1 TKO / 5-1 Submission), where as Diaz is 26-8 (13-2 TKO / 8-0 Submission). St-Pierre is at -465 to win the matchup, the only question is, will this go to decision?
