2010-11 NCAA football bowl picks against the point spread are being churned out en masse, but it’s been a nice NBA season for pro bettors as well.
The free pick for Saturday from Matt Rivers is on Richmond -7 at GA Tech.
I backed the Spiders last week against VCU and that thing wasn’t even close. Richmond jumped out to the 7-0 lead right off the bat and never looked back in the wire-to-wire win and cover. Kevin Anderson is a total stud guard who can break anybody down off of the dribble and Justin Harper may be able to play at the next level as well.
Last season Chris Mooney’s team had a great shot to go pretty far in the NCAA Tournament but were blindsided by a St. Mary’s team that started to fire away on all cylinders that day and in the next few games, just ask Villanova. David Gonzalvez is gone but the Spiders are once again a very formidable squad and one that is far better at this point in the season than the underachieving Yellow Jackets.
Paul Hewitt is a great recruiter, I will give him that, but his level of coaching is just not very good and this program is really regressing. Of course losing guys like Derrick Favors and Gani Lawal was tough but Hewitt just has not been able to get to some of his teams and this year is no exception. The rebounding has been extremely shoddy and the Jackets right now are a bad basketball team that somehow lost to in-state Kennesaw State about a month ago and State hasn’t won a game since falling to 2-7.
Richmond is a top 25 team and Georgia Tech isn’t a top 50 squad. This game is in a neutral setting so there’s no home court advantage and in the end I just do not see the Jackets being able to stop Anderson or muster enough to keep them in this game.
Top expert pick: Richmond
For more information: Rivers is in absolute love with this Sunday NFL slate and I really can’t wait. But, there is still a matter at hand first and it’s called Saturday. Two high quality plays that will cash the ticket and have us roll into another winning Sunday. 400,000* Northern Illinois-Fresno State and a 200,000* on the hardwoods between Iona and Syracuse.
