November 12th Picks 6pm and on SFTC

NCAA Basketball
Fordham at Pittsburgh- What will be the game result?
Pittsburgh Wins by 20+ PTS  
Any Other Results
Analysis: Pittsburgh comes into the game after destroying Mount St. Marys 80-48. Fordham on the other hand comes into the game after losing two a below average Texas State team 76-86. The line for this game is Pittsburgh winning by 21.5. Pittsburgh comes into the season unranked, but by the end of December they will be ranked in the Top 25. I would expect Pitt to outrebound, cause a lot of turnovers and just completely overwhelm Fordham. I would say that Pittsburgh will win by 25-30.

NBA 
Who will win? Utah Jazz @ Toronto Raptors
Analysis: Utah is starting a 4 game road trip tonight and are really hoping to start it off strong against a struggling Toronto team. Kyle Lowry and Landry Fields are uncertain for tonights game for Toronto, which is a sizeable disadvantage as Lowry leads toronto in PPG thus far. Utah enter the game as 10 point favorites. I expect this game to be within 7-8 but I am going to have to go with the Jazz.


NBA 
Who Will Win? Boston Celtics @ Chicago Bulls
Analysis: Chicago has won 3 out of the last 4 meetings. Chicago may be without starting PG Kirk Hinrich, which puts a lot of strain on Nate Robinson, their backup, who will be outsized and outplayed by Rajon Rondo. Robinson is coming off of a strong 18 point performance against Minnesota, but Minnesota was playing without a number of their stars, and backups. I fully expect Rondo to harass Robinson tonight and overwhelm him and force a lot of turnovers. I am picking Boston tonight, but expect it to be close. Stay away from this game if you have any kind of streak.

MNF
Chiefs @ Steelers
What will be the game result?
Steelers win by 15+ Points
Any Other Result
Analysis: Steelers have entered as a 15 point favorite. Kansas City hasnt showed anything great this year and have yet to hold a lead. The Steelers rush defense  is 4th in the NFL and  Kansas City enters as the 3rd best rushing team in the League. Expect the Chiefs so turnover the ball a couple of times tonight and the Steelers to take advantage of them. I would expect the Score to be somewhere around 31-17 Steelers, so if you have a sizeable streak, stay away, im going to pick under 15 pts for this. Kansas City will have Matt Cassel under center and hasnt had much luck this year with 11 interceptions and 8 fumbles. Kansas City is not good by any means, but it is a monday night game and I expect KC to be fired up so it will probably end up being close in the end. 31-17 Steelers

Will the Steelers be leading by DD at halftime?
Yes
No 
Analysis: I would expect the Steelers to get off to a strong start trying to win this game by halftime, as they will pound the ball hard against the weak KC run defense. I expect the score at half to be about 17-7 at half, so would say they will lead by DD at half.

NCAA Basketball
What will be the Game Result? IUPUI @Michigan
Michigan Wins by 20+ PTS
Any Other Result
Analysis: Michigan enters the game as the 5th ranked team in the nation.  They are coming off of a 100-62 victory over a terrible Slippery Rock Team. They come in as 18 point favorites. They are playing an Indiana Purdue team that are coming off of a 14 point win over Utah Valley. Lets be honest though, Big Ten Basketball teams are a different breed and i would expect Michigan to win heavily, by about 17-18 points, although this one could easily go either way. Stay away if you have a nice streak going!

NBA
Denver Nuggets @ Phoenix Suns
Who will Win?
Analysis:
Denver is coming off of four straight wins and havent played that well, they have been shooting the ball poorly and still coming out with wins. Suns are allowing 103.4 PPG and have no structure in their defense, and are starting games very poorly. I fully expect the Nuggets to win this by about 5-8 points. The Suns are 3-4 with their only wins coming against poor teams of Detroit, Charlotte and Cleveland. I would pick the Nuggets 75% of the time here.

How many  points will Chiefs score in the 3rd quarter?
5 points or fewer
6 points or more
Analysis: Like i said before, i think they will be behind by quite a bit at halftime, which will then fire them up for at least one drive in the third quarter, i would expect the chiefs to score about 10 pts in the 3rd quarter. Kansas City is only averaging 3.4 points in the 3rd quarter this year, so this prop is more of a tossup. Im going to go with my instinct on this one and pick 6 or more.

What will be the game result? West Virginia @ Gonzaga
West Virginia wins or loses by single digits
Gonzaga wins by double digits
Analysis: West Virginia is coming off of a disappointing season last year and Gonzaga is ranked within the Top 15. Gonzaga destroyed their opponent last week and i would expect them to beat west virginia tonight and keep things rolling. West Virginia had its last game of the season last year against Gonzaga in which they fell 77-54.  My prediction is Gonzaga wins by 15. Gonzaga also has home court advantage, where historically it has been tough, no matter who they are playing.

First to 10 Points?
Gonzaga 
West Virginia
