Feb. 20 Picks For the Day

 

Yesterday's record 1 - 1

Well, Utah fell shy of the glory losing to Oregon State in the last few seconds of the game. Of course, they didn't even really matter for bettors who took to spread. On the other hand, we did come away with a win. The Western Conference All-Stars did their thing! Better luck with tonight's picks.

Tonight matchups:

Appalachian State  VS.  Troy

Boston College  VS.  Florida St

Miami U   VS.  Virginia

  

Tonight's NCAA Picks

Troy -7

Troy looked good against Coastal Carolina, beating them 87-78. It was their third straight win and now the fight continues to the Sun Belt Tournament. They'll look to avenge a sweep by a not-so-strong and struggling Appalachian State. Troy's chances look very good tonight!

Boston College +20

Florida State was not too impressive to me in their loss to Pittsburgh. They looked pretty mediocre as their points per game don't give me any indication that they will cover these points. An important fact to note is that Florida State has not covered 3 out of 4 games after a loss to a conference rival. Boston College actually has a better 'spread' record for my taste. Boston College has proven in the last name games that they are a pretty safe pick. They are 7-2 ATS (against the spread).

 

 Virginia +4

 Tonight's game has promises of being a very exciting one with both of these teams having twin records in ACC games. Virginia did drop their last three games giving Miami an identical conference record to theirs. Miami has won 4 of its last 5 games but my suffer after losing two starting guards from the previous year. After a heartbreaking loss to their in-state rivals on Feb. 12, Virginia is looking to play more solid basketball in the future and can possibly come away with a win tonight.
