A short slate of games in the world of college basketball. These two games though should not be overlooked, as they both have some fun in them. Yesterday we went 3-0 on the day. We are now 92-91 on the season. Be sure to follow all our picks at BetStamp!
Here are our December 11 plays:
Iowa Hawkeyes at Iowa State Cyclones
We have the battle of the state here, the Hawkeyes at the Cyclones. Iowa State has been one of the most impressive teams in all of college basketball to start the season. Iowa, though, knows they will need to defend to stay in this game. Look for them to give a good enough effort, but ultimately it is not enough to win the game. They do, however, cover the underdog spread.
Betting Pick: Iowa Hawkeyes +12.5 over Iowa State Cyclones
Final Score Prediction: Iowa State 77-67 over Iowa
Saint Joseph Hawks at Syracuse Orange
It has been a slow week of games, but this actually is one of the better showdowns for Thursday. The Hawks and Orange are ready to square off. St. Joseph is 6-3, while the Orange are 5-3. Syracuse has been battle-tested, but the Hawks are not going to back down from the challenge. Look for Syracuse to win the game, but like the first game, the spread is too high.
Betting Pick: Saint Joseph Hawks +13.5 over Syracuse Orange
Final Score Prediction: Syracuse 80-70 over Saint Joseph
Finals Week Fatigue Meets Betting Opportunity
Just a pair of games today. Short slate. Good luck to all the athletes taking finals. But speaking for all fans of college hoops, it is time for a bigger slate of games and some real showdowns. Fade or follow at your own risk, but look for some wins on Thursday night. As always, check all our picks out at BetStamp!
