Maryland vs. Ohio State
Ohio State-5
Maryland vs Ohio State Free Pick January 11, 2018. The Buckeyes are coming off a blowout home victory over #1 ranked Michigan State, and here is what I had to say prior to the game: "It was exactly a year ago today that the Buckeyes beat the Spartans by a score of 74-66 in Columbus. A lot has changed since then, most notably the Spartans are the top ranked team in the country with a 15-1 overall record. Michigan State was the better team last season as well, and they were a seven point favorite in last year's contest. The Spartans aren't the only team that has improved. This year's Ohio State team is 12-4 overall, and 2-0 in the BIG10. When these teams met last year the Buckeyes had lost four of five conference games, and had an overall record of 11-7. Michigan State doesn't inspire a lot of confidence as a big road favorite considering they have covered the spread in just four of their last 14 road games. The Buckeyes have signature wins against Gonzaga, Michigan and Wisconsin. They have held opponents to just 64.9 points per game on 40.9 percent shooting while winning 9-of-10 at home. They should be able to keep this one competitive, and I'll take the points." While some might expect them to suffer a let down here again the Terps, I think they will only build on the positive momentum. Maryland is 3-2 in the BIG10, but all three of their wins came against conference bottom feeders. They beat Iowa and Penn State at home, and won by a single point at Illinois. The Buckeyes on the other hand have defeated Michigan and Michigan State at home by a combined 25 points, and they are undefeated (4-0) in the BIG10. Maryland is just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 versus the BIG10, and the favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between these two teams. Take OSU. GL,

Let's go over the posted total as the the NBA takes its show Global. Live from across the pond in Good Old England, it's the Celtics vs the Sixers in what everyone knows will be simply an NBA showcase of scrimmage proportions. In other words, simply put, no defense!
Look, even when these two teams play stateside, the over is 4-1. Philadelphia will bring plenty of options to the table and the Celtics will respond by going tit-for-tat with them.
Both teams are very well rested and both teams will shoot the ball well.
Boston-Philly Over is the Free Pick.
3* BOSTON-PHILADELPHIA OVER

Winning Thursday as the weekend starts with tonight's winner.
Wow! The Wheat Shockers laying this many points on the conference road?!?!
Wow!
Just on principle I have to back the Pirates plus the points at home tonight.
Yes, Wichita State is 13-2 and ranked in the Top-Five in the land. Yes, they will win this game, but are they going to take their foot off the gas pedal at the end and empty the bench?
Probably so, and that is where ECU sneaks in the back-door to take the bacon at the ticket window.
Jeff Lebo's team is just 7-8, but they have covered their last pair of games in the underdog role. This is Wichita's first game as an AAC member in East Carolina's gym, so look for the Shockers to have some issues getting used to the sight lines in the arena as well.
Just too many points to lay on the conference road.
Take the points.
