I like this pick alot.  Taking Wisconsin over Mich St.   Mich St is picked by 9. Now they may win, but I feel it won't be by the spread.   Wisconsin has always been outstanding on defense and I look for them to get some turnovers today.  They will need to do that and improve on free throws.  That has been a downfall for the Badgers.  They will have to make them today.   Take the Badgers +9

 North Texas is good and rising.  This Saturday they will beat Ark. Little Rock.   ALR will be playing without their starting PG Steven Moore  after a strange situation where he left the floor  and  went and sat in the end zone until the 2nd half began.  Coach suspended him for this game and with only one days rest and on the road this gives No. TX a big edge in this game.  No Tx should roll to a victory  take No Tx  -3

 My Prediction today is UCLA -10  over  Washington St.    I am very surprised that the spread is only 10.  This should be a pretty one-sided game.  UCLA  has the edge on both sides of the ball.  Washington St will have to come with their A game to keep this one in reach.  Don't think so.  Going with UCLA -10

Wisconsin Basketball is getting better week by week, and should win this game against Indiana.   Indiana is having their worst year in basketball, but you never know in the big ten.  Wisconsin needs to keep winning to get in the NCAA Tournament, so I am going with Wisconsin  -9  against  Indiana.

 I have never seen a starting five in an All Star game as good as the one the Eastern conference has this season.

With all the five players pretty in their prime or just a little bit past it, the East have the most intimadating front line ever. 

Eastern Conference Starters:

Dwayne Wade, Miami Heat

Allen Iverson, Detroit Pistons

LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers

Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics

Dwight Howard, Orlando Magic

Wow!! Now that is a starting lineup for the ages!

Even though the East has a starting five that could be an ultimate fantasy basketball team, the Western conference is still favored to win this game for some reason.

Western Conference Starters:

Chris Paul, New Orleans Hornets

Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers

Amare Stoudamire, Phoenix Suns (at least right now)

Tim Duncan, San Antonio Spurs

Yao Ming, Houston Rockets

If you ask me the only two players in the West that beat out the East at their position is Kobe and Chris Paul. Other than those two, Howard is too strong and too fast for Yao. LeBron will make Amare look stupid trying to guard him. KG and Duncan will be a good match up, but I give the edge to KG for being a bit more athletic.

All and all, I think all NBA fans are in for a treat come Sunday! It should be an All Star game to remember!

NCAA Picks today 2/6

Marquette  -9

Fairfield +2

NBA Picks

Warriors  +10

Nuggets -6

Magic -6.5   

Good luck to all         Hope everyone wins a little chunk of change.  Think we can use it.

This will be a good Superbowl this year.   I know everyone will probably think the Pittsburg D will be tough on the Cardinals.  It may, but Warner can get the ball off pretty fast and if they are sending everyone then the receivers will be open and Warner will get the ball to them.   This will also tire the Steelers.   I will take the Cardinals +6 .. It may even be an outright win by the Cardinals.

Another good playoff weekend.   Can make some cash this weekend.   Taking Arizona against the spread +10  Arizona has been on top of there game the whole 2nd half of the season.  This should be a good game and Arizona should bring us some $$$.  This is a pretty well matched contest and for Carolina to win by more than 10 would be a real surprise. I like that Arizona team.
