Tuesday Quick Picks - Jan 5th, 2010

Tough night last night as we went 1-2. Tonight we redeem ourselves with a few winners... hopefully. I always say if you want to make money picking college hoops, do it before Chirstmas before the lines catch up and before conference play. Once conference play kicks off it is like the NFL; everyone can play and recruit on a fairly similar level and the teams know each other really well.

That said, let's get to it.

Rhode Island -1.5 @ Akron - Hopefully we haven't sufficiently curse the Rams yet...otherwise this jumps out at me as the line of the night. Rhode Island is good. Akron isn't. Sometimes picking games really is that simple.

Georgia Tech -5.5 @ Georgia - Yeah, I know it's a rivalry game. That said Georgia Tech is significantly better at nearly every position on the floor tonight. I like the Jackets in what is becoming our dangerous precident of picking road favorites...

New Mexico @ San Diego St +4 - New Mexico, along with BYU is the class of the solid MWC this year. However, the Lobos have played an absolutly draining stretch against quality opponents and have came up big in all of them to get thrust into the national spotlight. I think the constant pressure takes a toll on the road against a similarly NCAA-hopefully Aztec squad. This is by far the best game of the night, even though hardly anyone will see it.

Maniac's Record 30-25-1 ATS
