November 13 SFTC Picks #GreenMYstreak

What will be the game result? Northern Illinois @ Valparaiso
Valparaiso wins by 20+ Points
Any other result
Analysis: Valparaiso is coming off of a huge 85-54 win against a poor Georgia Southern Team. Northern Illinois lost to a poor Nebraska Omaha Team last week 64-77. They arent even a division 1 team. Valparaiso is a 20 point favorite heading into the game and i fully expect that number to be exceeded. Im picking Valparaiso with a 20+ win against a very bad Northern Illinois team.

What will be the Game Result? Harvard @ UMASS
Harvard wins or single digit loss
UMass wins by double digits
Analysis: Harvard struggled against a non Division 1 team MIT, but pulled it out in the end 67-54. Harvard has been dealt a tremendous amount of blows already this season, not only losing there top scorer from graduating, but losing Kyle Casey and Brandyn Curry there two best players. That 26-5 season last year will not even be closed to matched this year, they will be lucky to make it to .500. UMass returns there full team that just missed out on the NCAA tournament last year. I am picking UMass to win by 13-15 points so i am going DD on Umass.

Who Will Win this Matchup
Temple Owls
@Kent State Golden Flashes
Analysis: With Temple moving to the Big East next year, they have to prepare themselves for stiff competition. Kent State should be an easy W for the Temple Owls to get their season going. Kent State struggled all of last year in the MAC conference. If Kent State wins, it will be an Upset. the line for this game is only -3.5 on Temple. I am picking Temple straight up without hesitation.

Who Will win this matchup?
Detroit Titans
@St. Johns Red Storm
Analysis: First of all, we have a Horizon league team vs a Big East team. If that isnt enough for you to make your decision then how about St. Johns returns pretty much their whole team back from last year. Although St. Johns had a disappointing year and lost to detroit last year 69-63. It is @ St. Johns and Detroit wont win this game, period. There is no way the Red Storm can lose to the Titans two years in a row. I expect St. Johns to win by 10+. St. Johnson is a 4.5 point favorite as well.

Who will win this matchup
Butler Bulldogs
Xavier Musketeers
Analysis: Stay away from this trap!!!!! These teams are way too evenly matched to pick one. If you have a gut feeling and have a losing streak, that would be the only time i would pick one of these games in this prop. I would completely skip this one!!! If i were to pick one for the record, it would be Xavier because they are at home.

NCW Basketball Kentucky @ Baylor
Baylor wins by 15+
Any other Result
Analysis: Skip this pick as well, not worth losing a streak over a coin flip womens basketball game, this one will probably go to Baylor, but i would say less than a 10 point difference.

Who will win this Matchup? Michigan State vs Kansas Jayhawks (Neutral)
Michigan State
Kansas Jayhawks
Analysis: Obviously, Michigan State hasnt started the season the way they have wanted to, but the Connecticut team that they played on Friday night was a top 25 team that just made it in this week. Kansas on the other hand struggled to a 19 point win over Southeast Missouri State. Kansas is a 2 point favorite and
Michigan State came into the year a little overrated and i would expect them to finish 5th in the big ten this year Behind Ohio State, Michigan, Indiana and Minnesota. I am picking Kansas Jayhawks for the win, although if you have a significant streak, dont waste it on this game.

Who Will Win?
Washington Wizards
Charlotte Bobcats
Analysis: Washington is the leagues worst team this year by far, Charlotte Sucks too, this is a coin flip to see who is worse. I would pick Charlotte if i had to pick.

Who Will Win?
Duke Blue Devils
Kentucky Wildcats
Analysis: Although Duke clearly has the seasoned and experienced players, you cant overlook the amount of talent that John Calipari has. Also, you cant overlook the fact that Duke is the strong underdog and i dont expect them to win this game. I would pick Kentucky to win by 7.

Who Will Win?
Portland
@ Sacramento
Analysis: Sacramento is bad, Portland has had a tough schedule to start, Portland will win this game.

Who Will Win?
San Antonio Spurs
@ Los Angeles Lakers
Analysis: If you ever want a coin flip, here you go. San Antonio is playing great basketball, but with Tony Parker DTD, he wont be 100% which puts a lot of strain on the Spurs backcourt. I think the Lakers will win this game, but it will be close for sure!
