Wow, Kentucky is favored by 16 points over South Carolina? Well I guess Kentucky is just going to wipe the floor with the Gamecocks tonight since they are responsible for their only loss this season right…… Not so fast my friend!

One of the greatest things about college basketball betting is that we are dealing with kids. And these kids like to look ahead to bigger and better things, like a nationally televised matchup against Tennessee this weekend. Listen, Kentucky will win tonight, but I like South Carolina plus the points.

Syracuse vs. Georgetown Free Basketball Pick for Thursday Night:

I am a big believer in “set up” games. What do I mean by “set up” game? This is when the betting public is fooled by the previous performance. The example here is Georgetown losing at Rutgers last Sunday. That loss has the public on Syracuse tonight getting +1.5 points. Georgetown has lost their last 2 meetings with Syracuse, and I do not see it a third loss in a row happening tonight. Take the Hoyas -1.5 points!

Free College Basketball Pick for Wednesday February 17, 2010:

Tonight’s free college basketball pick is on the North Carolina State +5 points over Maryland. My premium college basketball pick clients enjoyed an easy win 2 nights back as Maryland destroyed Virginia. Any one who follows me knows I love to bet “revenge” situations in college basketball and football. How does this sound for revenge? Maryland has won 7 straight against NC State and covered the spread in 6 of the 7 wins. That betting trend ends tonight as I expect NC State to keep this game very close, and may even win outright!
