Complimentary Picks
*Texas +8.5 vs. KANSAS (Check latest line)

Sure the Jayhawks are 15-1 and get Texas at home. But this spread is too big. Texas has shown an ability to play well vs. very good teams while Kansas has actually struggled this season against very good opposition. The Long Horns are 5-1 ATS versus very good teams (outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game) this season while the Jayhawks are just 1-6 ATS in home games vs. winning teams this season. Also, Kansas is 6-16 ATS versus very good defensive teams (shooting pct defense of <=39%) over the last 3 seasons. The public is overreacting to Kansas at home on a Saturday night. Take Texas plus the points for one star.

*WISCONSIN GREEN BAY +5 vs. Wisconsin Milwaukee (Check latest line)
Wisconsin Milwaukee has been impressive so far this season but W-GB is quitely putting together another suprisingly great season again this year. They snuck up on many teams last year and they are doing it again this season. Tonight they get a chance at home vs. the defending Horizon Conference champions. This intrastate rivalry game should be closer than this spread. Take WI-GB and the points for one star.

****Utah State -12 vs. LONG BEACH STATE (Check latest line)

Utah State has picked up where it left off last year (25-4 overall and 17-1 in conference play). HC Stew Morrill has done a tremendous job at keeping this team at peak performance despite the loss of 3 starters from last year's squad. Tonight they get the worst team in the Big West and should run roughshod all over them from start to finish. Utah State is holding opponents under 60 points per game. In conference games, Long Beach State is scoring just 58. Road favorites with a winning percentage of 60%-80%) laying 10 or more points, having won 3 of their last 4 games, facing a terrible team (<20% SU) are an incredible 27-7 (79%) ATS since 1997. Also, home underdogs of 10 or more points coming off a game in which they allowed 60 points or less when facining an opponent off a win by 10 points or more are just 23-53 (30%) ATS since 1997. Four stars on Utah State minus twelve.

Betting Recommendations and Unit Tracking
My star ratings equate to the following betting recommendations for each pick. For tracking purposes on my site, my bankroll is assumed to be an even $5000.

  * (1 star) = 1% of bankroll (or $50)
  ** (2 star) = 2% of bankroll (or $100)
  *** (3 star) = 3% of bankroll (or $150)
  **** (4 star) = 4% of bankroll (or $200)
  ***** (5 star) = 5% of bankroll (or $250)
  ****** (6 star) = 6% of bankroll (or $300)

To determine your bet amount, you should simply use the percentages below, multiplied by your specific bankroll. It is my strong recommendation that you never bet more than 10% of your bankroll on any given game - ever! You should usually bet just a few percent. There are no such thing as locks. See my write-up on Bankroll Management.
