College Basketball Picks & Predictions for Saturday, December 11, 2010
By Drew Sharper
PITTSBURGH, PA (TheSpread) – A pair of top 11 teams meet in college basketball on Saturday as No. 3 Pittsburgh faces No. 11 Tennessee. Here is a breakdown of my pick for the game.
Tennessee is 6-0 on the season and 2-0 on neutral courts. Pittsburgh is 10-0 on the season and 3-0 on the neutral court. This game is a neutral court, as it will be played at Consol Energy Center, but that is located near Pittsburgh University.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook SBGGLOBAL.com have released their odds for this game and made Pittsburgh an 8-point favorite against Tennessee. The over/under has been set at 141.5. Here is a look at the trends and my pick for tonight’s game.
Tennessee vs. Pittsburgh, 3:15PM ET
Tennessee is just 3-7 against the spread in their last 10 games against the Big East and 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games following a cover. Pittsburgh is 17-8-2 against the spread in their last 27 games against a team with a winning straight up record. My pick is with the Panthers as they will have the crowd support and have been playing very good basketball.
