Game: Brown Bears @ Dartmouth Big Green - Friday February 6, 2009 7:00 pm
Pick: 4 unit(s) ATS: Dartmouth Big Green +1 (-110) (Play of the Day)
The Big Green Baby! We will ride the Big Green today for our 5th college basketball winner in a row as we look to go a perfect 5-0 this week en route to my 11th Golden Week of my career (7-0). I love Ivy League Basketball. Many a times because of a tough non-conference schedules, a teams SU win record is not indicative of how good a team really is. Such is the case with Dartmouth who has played some very tough games throughout this year which has prepped them well for conference play. Yes, Dartmouth has 4 wins but once again this is completely irrelevant of the fact that are in a nice spot to win Outright here tonight at home against Brown. Keep in mind Dartmouth was young last year and they were swept by the hands of Brown. So, undoubtedly they have revenge from that contest. On top of that, let's not forget this is the same Dartmouth team that just beat top 235 Penn at home by 3. This is the same Dartmouth team that went on the highway to shock Harvard and beat them in Overtime who is a top 250 school (the same school that lost to Bama by 3 on the road). Brown has lost all 4 conference games this year while Dartmouth is actually is actually 2-2 in conference play. Dartmouth has played a brutal non-conference schedule such as Providence, Vermont and California which has prepped them nice for conference play. If Dartmouth can defeat the likes of Harvard on the road and UPenn at home, they can certainly get it done over Brown today with revenge. We took St. Peters on Monday as we snuck in for the cover, we took San Diego State Outright on tuesday over UNLV, Indiana Outright against Iowa at home on Wednesday, The Citadel Outright over App. State on Thursday and for Friday, let's take the Big Green to win Outright at home against Dartmouth. The Brown Bears are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games and 1-4 ATS against the Ivy of late while the Big Green is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 against the Ivy and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. Come on, I know you want to say it, "Big Green tonight Baby!"
Good luck,
Indian Cowboy.

Game: Utah Jazz @ Sacramento Kings - Friday February 6, 2009 10:05 pm
Pick: 4 unit(s) ATS: Sacramento Kings +2.5 (-110) (Play of the Day)
Let's go 4-1 on the week in the NBA and secure our 7th Straight Winning Week in the NBA with this selection as we are making shock waves in this industry. It amuses me when folks think that you cannot win in Hoops or win in the long run - all that means they are falling for the wrong touts and their ridiculous hype of the Game of the Centuries. I say that as we come off a 65% January, 6 straight NBA winning weeks and 4 of 5 winning college weeks (secured yesterday). Well, I don't have Game of the Centuries and the Game of my Life's etc...If one is good, then they can make standard plays, even do flat betting. I have Research and Hard work - that's the premise of any success full cat in any successful field. I'm not the only one, there are a few who are sincerely hard working and good in this field - we comprise about 3% in this industry. As per the Kings today, I think they win outright. If you noticed, I took the Jazz to beat the Mavs yesterday as I believed injuries and all they get it done. Remember, the Mavs' win over the Magic was only because Jameer Nelson was banged up. Heck, I actually think that the Magic lose Outright tonight at Indiana as the Pacers end up getting it done. But, I don't want to go against the Magic despite the fact I think they are in for a shock wave of their own in a tight game against the Pacers who have revenge and come home after a road loss. As per this game, look the Kings got a gut check after a 40 point loss to the Suns on the road. They were embarrassed and they only lost to the Jazz by a few points at home last time. This team is still made up of professionals who will come out strong today. Don't forget this is the same Kings team that beat the Lakers at home in ARCO and the Warriors on the road Outright. The Jazz are a different team on the road away from home without Boozer. This team lost to the Thunder in a blowout fashion for the most part in that game, lost to the Rockets, lost to the Mavs and Denver - many of those games by over 15-20 points on the highway. There is no reason that Kevin Martin cannot go off today like he did when he played nearly 50 minutes against OKC scoring 37 points, assisted by Beno, Salmons, Garcia, Thompson and Hawes. This is a bit of a homer pick in some ways, but I think with over 80% favoring the Jazz here and the Kings coming off one of the worst losses of this year and in franchise history, they are a decent play returning to ARCO with revenge here. The Jazz are 0-4 ATS playing on 0 days rest as they are a bit banged up and it shows in back to back games and the home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings between these two squads
