Locks of the Week (?): February 18th

Record to Date: 11-14

I kinda suck at this whole betting thing. I went 1-4 against the spread last week, even though I was 5-0 on picking the winners. Over the past three weeks I have racked up the amazing record of 3-12. Not even sure how being that bad is possible. Oh well, can’t stop now.

Clemson at Miami (-3.5)

As many teams have found out this year, Miami is a tough place to play. While this is certainly not an upper-tier ACC team, Miami is a team finding themselves on the tournament bubble and I think they will find a way to add to their resume with a home win here.

#3 Kansas (+1.5) at #4 Baylor

Baylor could easily win this one. I believe though that the comeback win against West Virginia has given Kansas all of the momentum and they will win out the rest of the regular season.

St Bonaventure at Dayton (-7.5)

Last time these two teams met in early January, Dayton won on the road by 16 points. This time, coming back to Dayton, I think they should take the victory pretty handily here.

Michigan State at #16 Purdue (-9.5)

Going by the same logic as the pick above, Purdue won at Michigan State by 9 a few weeks ago. Now, going back to West Lafayette, I think the Boilermakers are the best team in the Big Ten and will stay strong in this one.

#22 Saint Mary’s at BYU (+4.5)

This was an interesting one for me. Frank Fanelli brought this game to my attention in the Quadruple Double podcast this week (check it out if you haven’t). When playing at Saint Mary’s, the Cougars dropped this game by 13 points. BYU is also 14-2 at home this year, with one of those losses coming to Gonzaga by just 10 points. Even if they don’t pull out the victory, I’ll take the points here and say that the Cougs can get it done.
