It's the semi-finals of their tournament and with no team in this conference a lock to make the NCAA tournament, we may only see the winner of this conference tournament in the Madness. Game #1: St Mary's vs. Gonzaga (-7) Of all the te...

Thursday NBA on TNT Betting

Game: Miami @ San Antonio (-2); Total: 209.5 This is the second time these two have met since last year's thrilling seven-game NBA Finals series and Miami proved their title was no fluke with a 113-101 home win earlier this year. But the Spurs were without Kawhi Leonard in that one and while most will argue that it's the Big Three that make San Antonio go (Duncan, Parker, Ginobili), Le...

Monday Feb 24 Basketball Picks

By: CarbonSports Game #1: Syracuse (-4.5) vs. Maryland; Total: 131.5 After suffering their first two losses of the year last week, the Syracuse Orange are looking to bounce back strong tonight.

Two Free NCAA Basketball Picks - Tuesday

Play #1: Iowa State -5.5 Iowa State has been brutal against the spread the last month or so (1-9 ATS last 10), but they are always strong at home and have been victimized ATS-wise by some high numbers here on their own floor. This is the first time since playing and losing to Kansas here that they've been laying less than seven points and now's the time to start backing them as they ma...

While Sam isn't nearly as highly touted as Clowney, he was demolishing opponents on route to becoming a co-Defensive Player of the Year in the SEC. Sam and Missouri were amongst my favorite teams to bet on...

Super Bowl XLVIII Spread Betting Pick - Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks

Figuring out who to bet on the Super Bowl XLVIII spread is serious business. On one hand you have the league's best defense, and on the other you have the greatest offence in NFL history. The line itself has been dancing all over the place, but is hovering in that DEN -2.0 to DEN -3.0 range. Still, after everything we've seen from Peyton Manning in 2013, are you really going to bet against...
