Well since I'm no longer welcomed over at Pregame since I posted my email address...I decided to share Lang's picks over here instead. Also, he's actually down 598.5 dimes since June 1, 2008 and he's down 755 dimes if you take out his football plays. Without further ado...here are his plays for today:
Brandon Lang Thursday ... 25 Dimer- Bowling Green
10 Dimer - Pittsburgh
5 Dimer - Oklahoma State
by 4:00 p.m. eastern Bowling Green, Pitt and Oklahoma State
5 Dimer Ole Miss - In beating Kentucky the first time around at home 85-80 back on January 27th; the thing that impressed me the most about the Ole Miss win was just how dominating they were on the glass out rebounding Kentucky 42-32. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you have the big men to run at Patterson inside, you take down Kentucky. The Rebels are 8-2 ATS last 10 as an underdog and 9-4 ATS last 13 in SEC play. I just don't think this Kentucky team warrants being this big a favorite today imploding the way they are. Kentucky has failed to cover their last 4 games and is 2-7 ATS last 9 games as a favorite. Bottom line is when you start losing outright at home late in the year as an 18 point chalk to Georgia; I think it's time you mail it in for the year. Ole Miss is a live dog today.
5 Dimer Kansas State - Don't sleep on this Wildcat bunch. They come in one of the hottest teams in the Big 12 winning 10 of their last 13 SU with the 3 losses being to Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma State. They went into Texas earlier this year and beat the Longhorns in OT 85-81 and they will remain a confident bunch in this game today. I am not a Rick Barnes fan. Never been a Rick Barnes fan. Personally, I think he should push himself off as author John Grisham but that’s just me. Texas is 1-4 ATS their last 5 games overall and 3-13 ATS following a SU win, a win which saw them struggle to beat a pathetic Colorado team which once scored 9 points in a half of a game this year. You add the fact Kansas State is 10-4-1 ATS last 15 neutral site games as an underdog and its Texas going home after today. Get on Kansas State.
Free pick - Alabama (for analysis of this game see daily video)
