Picks for Best Games on Monday, January 21st
It is Big Monday and today’s games should be really fun as we have three Top-25 matchups. Here are my picks for all three of those games as well as a quality Big 12 matchup.
Maryland at Michigan State
6:30 ET on Fox Sports 1
Line: Michigan State -9.5
Pick: Michigan State
Against the Spread: Maryland
Final Score Prediction: Michigan State 76 Maryland 70
Why this pick? The Spartans are so good at home but it is hard to pick against this Maryland team right now, especially as 9.5 point underdogs.
Virginia Tech at North Carolina
7 ET on ESPN
Line: North Carolina -4
Pick: North Carolina
Against the Spread: North Carolina
Final Score Prediction: North Carolina 89 Virginia Tech 70
Why this pick? The Tar Heels will be up for this one, I think they win handily against a good Virginia Tech team.
Iowa State at Kansas
9 ET on ESPN
Line: Kansas -5.5
Pick: Iowa State
Against the Spread: Iowa State
Final Score Prediction: Iowa State 73 Kansas 70
Why this pick? Iowa State just matches up too well against Kansas, I think they win in Allen Fieldhouse.
Baylor at West Virginia
9 ET on ESPNU
Line: West Virginia -2.5
Pick: Baylor
Against the Spread: Baylor
Final Score Prediction: Baylor 78 West Virginia 55
Why this pick? This will be a letdown game for West Virginia after such an emotional win over Kansas on Saturday.
