Our Picks Win

Recap of NBA Wednesday

Been a while since my last post, I have been real busy and I don't consistently bet NBA games but I will try to post picks as often as I can.  My last post had San Antonio -6 at home against Pheonix as the PLAY OF THE DAY.  This was the first play of the day that I have gotten wrong this year.  My other plays went 2-1 to make me 2-2 overall on the day.  My overall record is now 27-17-1 and my PLAY OF the DAY is now 9-1. 

San Antonio -6 vs. Pheonix:  The play looked like it could win as the game went into the fourth quarter.  Amare and Shaq were strapped to the bench with foul trouble and the Suns reserves actually made a run for them.  Shaq and Amare returned well rested and took over the rest of the game.  Shaq looked like he was 12 years younger as he dominated Tim Duncan on both ends of the floor. 

I will have winning NBA picks for Tuesday, April 15th posted by mid afternoon tommorow so check back!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                    

NBA Wednesday

Play of the Day:  San Antonio -6 over Pheonix.  Pheonix has lost 12 of their lost 14 games in San Antonio.  The Spurs are sitting only one game back of New Orleans for the top spot in the west.  This is the second game of a three game road trip for Pheonix and a back to back situation.  Pheonix played last night against Memphis and won fairly easily.  The Spurs are an astounding 32-6 against the spread this year at home and an even more impressive 48-12 against the spread when favored.  Look for the Spurs to win by 8 to 10 points.

                                       

Other Plays to Consider:

1)Detroit +3 at Philadelphia: Detroit will be resting their team while the Sixers are still battling for playoff position.  Look for the Sixers to take this one.

2)Pheonix Suns at San Antonio Under 197: Spurs lockdown opponents at home while the Suns have showed they can play tough D when it counts.

3)Detroit at Philadelphia Under 184:  Not alot of scoring in this one.  These two teams seem to always play games in the low 80's.  Considered making this my PLAY of the DAY.

Recap of NBA Sunday

Another AMAZING DAY.  I stay on fire with a 3-0 day.  This brings my Overall record 24-14-1 with my PLAY OF THE DAY being 8-0.

Dallas vs Pheonix:  Thinking back on it, I should not have made this my PLAY of the DAY.  However, it was still a winner since I had UNDER 212 and Dallas beat Pheonix 105-98.  The only reason my under pick won here was because Pheonix went cold in the fourth and could not hit anything as Dallas stormed back from a 91-80 4th quarter deficit.  I knew this line smelled a little fishy, and thats why I went with the under.  However, there was better plays on the board for my POD.

Denver vs Seattle:  This is the game I should have made my PLAY of The Day.  This was extremely easy.  I had the OVER 226.  As i stated before, Denver put up 168 and 138 in regulation games against Seattle.  Denver also plays no defense, so even a horrible team like Seattle can score with ease.  It seemed that Seattle wanted some revenge for that 168 Denver put up on them as they won in double OT by a score of 151-147.  For those who cant add, thats 298 points total.  This game was too easy.

Houston vs Los Angeles Clippers:  Another extremely easy one.  I had Houston -9 as they ROLLED to victory by a score of 105-79.  Houston is playing their asses off to get into the playoffs while the Clippers are just floundering out there in LA.  I knew Houston would come out and insert the dager early.  Another game that was just too easy.

                                                                           

NCAA Championship:  One of the toughest games of the year to bet.  I have a winner for all of you, however tipoff is not until 9:21 so I will wait a little bit before putting my post up.  Check back to www.ourpickswin.com for tonight's big play!!!!

NBA Sunday

I usually do not make alot of picks on Sunday but considering I have been so hot I wanted to try and give out a few more winners.

                                           

                                                       

My Play of the DAY:  Dallas Mavericks at Phoenix Suns UNDER 212.  These two teams normally put up big numbers so something about this line being 212 smells fishy.  It will be close but Im gonna go with the under

Other Plays to Consider: 

1)  Denver Nuggets @ Seattle Supersonics OVER 226.  Did you see the previous two games?  Denver scored     168 and 138 while Seattle had 96 and 116.

2)  Houston Rockets -9 @ LA Clippers.  Just like the other night, Houston is desperate, the Clippers are pathetic... Houston should cover easily.

Recap of Final Four and NBA Saturday

I thought yesterday was going to be a tough day but apparently I was wrong!!  5-1 on the day, with my final four plays going 4-0.  This brings my overall record to 21-14-1 with my PLAYS OF THE DAY being 7-0. 

NBA Saturday:  My play of the day here was the Kings plus 12 against the Denver Nuggets.  Even with Ron Artest and Brad Miller sitting out, this pick came through in a big way.  The Kings won outright 118-115.  Historically the Kings play good basketball against Denver.  That information led me to believe that even though Denver is a desperate team, they would struggle in this one.  My Charlotte Bobcats pick was my only losing pick on the day.  This line started with the Bobcats being 10.5 point underdogs.  Once news broke that Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce would not be playing everyone jumped on Charlotte.  They were favored by 1.5 by game time.  I got the line at Charlotte +6.5.  However, Boston's young players showed that they have taken note of the team's winning ways and dominated Charlotte, winning 101-78.

Final Four:  My picks were dead on the money.  In the UCLA V Memphis game I took Memphis -2 and the OVER 133.5  Final score was Memphis 78, UCLA 63.  As I predicted, Derrick Rose controlled this game.  He limited Collison to 2 points, 5 turnovers and 4 fouls.  Love did not have the big game that he needed to have to put UCLA over the top.  Memphis led almost start to finish as they cruised into the Championship game.  Late fouling allowed my PLAY OF THE DAY of OVER 133.5 to hit.  In the second game I had Kansas +3 and the UNDER 160.  Again, both of these were winners as the Jayhawks defeated UNC by a score of 82-63.  As I predicted, Kansas' Defense stifled North Carolina as the Jayhawks jumped out to a 38-12 lead.  North Carolina almost made a historic comeback as they cut the lead to 4 at one point.  Kansas then took over once again and won quite easily.  If you followed me picks yesterday you would have won alot of money.

                                                                                          

Final Four and NBA Saturday

Tough day today.  Was unable to post yesterday and because of that missed giving out a ton of winners.  Lets see what I have today......

NBA Saturday:  My play of the day:  Sacramento plus 12 AT Denver.  In the last 10 meetings between these two teams the win/loss breaks straight down the middle at 5-5.  In Denvers 5 wins they averaged a victory margin of 7.6 points per game.  Out of those 5 Denver wins two of them were by double digits, the largest being by 16 points.  The smallest margin of victory was by 1 point.  When averaging the points of their 5 wins, the margin comes in at 7 points per game.  Kenyon Martin being out for Denver also does not help in this one.  While I believe Denver will win outright because they are battling for that playoff spot, Sacramento will keep it reasonably close.  My other NBA play is the Charlotte Bobcats + 6 at home against the Boston Celtics.  I know this might sound crazy, but Boston has clinched  homecourt throughout and have nothing to play for.  Charlotte has been on a roll playing spoiler, as they beat Toronto outright last night.  Pierce is also out for Boston, and there is a good chance Garnett and Allen wont play either.

Final Four:  Might be the toughest two games to pick all year.  I will give you picks on both games and both over unders.

Ucla V. Memphis:  UCLA is on a mission, this is their third straight final four and without Florida standing in their way, they feel they can win it all.  Memphis on the other hand plays with unbelievable intensity.  Freshman guard derrick rose may be the best in the nation and will control the pace to this game.  It will be strength vs finesse inside as Joey Dorsey will battle Kevin Love.  For the Bruins to have a chance, Love will have to step outside and knock down some easy jumpers.  My Play on this game is MEMPHIS -2.  However my college PLAY OF THE DAY is OVER 133 on this game.

                                                                                  

Kansas V. North Carolina: Another incredibly tough game to call.  You have the whole Roy Williams saga with him coaching against his former team the Kansas Jayhawks.  North Carolina has dominated people all tournament as they have not really been challenged.  They will get a challenge in this one.  I know I stated in one of my posts earlier this week that I think North Carolina will be too much inside for Kansas, however I have started to change my mind.  Every team plays that close game in route to winning a championship and Kansas played it.  They are getting overlooked because of the close game against Davidson.  Some people just need to admit that Davidson was better than everyone thought they were and they played alot of tough opponents this year.  Im going to go out on a limb here and say KANSAS + 3 will be the winner.  I also love the UNDER 160 as Kansas really knows how to D it up and will force Carolina to do the same.

                                                                            

Recap of NIT Championship and NBA Thursday

Today was a good day.  2-0 on my plays of the day.  0-1 on my other pick for the night which brings my overall record to 16-13-1 and my Play of the Day record to  5-0. 

                                                            

NIT Championship Recap:  As I stated in my post, this would be a very hard game to bet.  Umass was winning 41-36 at half time and was also getting three points.  In the second half both teams absolutely lit up the nets as Ohio State cameback and outlasted Umass for the 92-85 win.  Once again, I stated in my previous post to STAY AWAY from this game.  I told everyone that the play was OVER 149.5, considering the two teams combined for 177, id say I made a brilliant call.

NBA Thursday:  Just as I predicted the Rockets came out hungry and took advantage of a tired team playing without their leader Brandon Roy.  They carried a 9 point lead into half time and after slipping up a little bit at the start of the second half, the Rockets regained their poise and never looked back as they were up by double digits throughout most of the 4th.  Rockets -5 is a winner as the final score was 95-86.  I also believed the the Cavs Bulls game would go under 197.5 however this was my pick that did not win.  The bulls played a tough game to shock Lebron and the Cavs and win 101-98.  Larry Hughes was the unlikely hero against his old team playing inspired ball and filling the stat sheet with 25 points, 9 assists, 8 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block.  As you can see, the game only went over by 1 basket as the teams combined for 199.

NIT Championship and NBA Thursday

NIT Championship: Extremely tough game to call.  Ohio State favored by 3 here and won pretty easily against Mississippi and got solid all around play from a number of different guys including big men Othello Hunter and Kosta Koufos.  Umass played a hell of a second half against a a Florida team that I personally thought I had a chance to win the whole thing after the fire Billy Donovan lit underneath them.  Away from home Ohio State is 4-8 while Umass is 8-6.  If i had to choose I would take the points and take Umass here but I wouldnt be extremely confident on the play.  So what is my pick here?  OVER 149.5!!  Game should be high scoring as both teams can light up the scoreboards.  Fouling at the end could put this one over.

                                                              

NBA Thursday:  Here is where you will get my PLAY OF THE DAY.  I will take the Rockets -5 going into the Rose Garden against the Trailblazers.  Portland will be playing a back to back after flying from Los Angeles where they played and lost by 13 Wednesday night.  Houston has lost back to back games and despite the 22 game winning streak that they had snapped by Boston not too long ago, their playoff hopes could be in jeopardy.  Brandon Roy has also been banged up and may not play in this one.  Houston should be inspired and should cover the 5 points quite easily.  I also like the Cavaliers Bulls game to go UNDER 197.5.  The Cavs play tough Defense and should hold the Bulls down.  Cleveland is also going to be playing the second half of a back to back and should be a little bit tired.
