Here are John Fisher’s three strongest college basketball picks today (out of 8 picks):
Kentucky -7.5 110 to win 100
KANSAS -1 110 to win 100
West Virginia -3.5 110 to win 100
And some thoughts from John Fisher:
The Jayhawks are the more complete team here. They have a much better bench and are starting to peak at the right time. They can beat you inside and outside. Self will know that Cowboys really have two real scoring threats in Nash and Forte. The OSU Cowboys will miss Mr. smart here. Cowboys have alternated wins and losses last six games. This time the trend has them losing. They play tough at Home with a defense that can really make it difficult for opponents to get easy shots. However, Kansas has too many options and with newcomers Greene and Oubre gaining confidence and playing time I like them to survive the home crowd of the Cowboys. GUARANTEE PLAY OF THE DAY! Mason will duplicate what another Guard similiar to him did to the Cowboys in Trimble as Md was the only Home loss for Cowboys at the time then The Sooners with their strong guard did they same with Held. 5 star GUARANTEE
The line went from 6 to 3.5 as the absence of Williams from a flu will hurt the Mountaineers on the boards. Also word has it that some of the other players are suffering from the flu as well so this might not be a Mountaineer team that will be able to press like usual. However, Baylor is the type of team that will succumb to ball pressure. Baylor has been impressive but they are due for an off game . There are enough players on WVU bench to step in and jump in for Williams. Coach Huggins versus Drew. Nuff said. 5 stars
Florida simply has no talent with the exception of Frazier. The Gators act like Toads when they play big teams. LSU completely dominated them inside with second chance points from rebounds and a soft Vanderbilt team made Florida look like a HS team. Now Kentcuky comes into town. Kentcuky actually is focused more away from Home. They play with more will and execute better on the offensive end. Everyone gets up for Kentcuky but this line is too tempting to pass up. Florida needs 10 threes to keep this under DDs. Wildcats seek and get revenge for last years losses to Florida. The Harrison twins have talked about this game for awhile as those three losses were tough to swallow. This Florida isn’t even close to that team and Vegas still thinks they have bite despite their 4-9 ATS RECORD. 5 stars Wildcats
