Picks for Best Games on Tuesday, February 26th
We are nearing the end of the regular season, which means I am ramping up the amount of picks I am picking tonight. With a loaded slate of games tonight it is fitting to do so and while tonight’s games don’t have a signature game, the slate is pretty good with lots of great games to watch. Here are my Against the Spread picks for all of tonights best games.
Duke at Virginia Tech
7 PM ET on ESPN
Line: Duke -4.5
Pick: Duke
Against the Spread: Duke
Final Score Prediction: Duke 68 Virginia Tech 61
Why this pick? Give me the Blue Devils pulling away late in this one, Virginia Tech just doesn’t have enough offense without Justin Robinson.
Iowa at Ohio State
7 PM ET on the Big Ten Network
Line: Ohio State -2
Pick: Ohio State
Against the Spread: Ohio State
Final Score Prediction: Ohio State 73 Iowa 69
Why this pick? The Buckeyes are in need of a win, I think they get it in this game against a lucky Iowa team.
Alabama at South Carolina
7 PM ET on ESPN2
Line: South Carolina -1.5
Pick: South Carolina
Against the Spread: South Carolina
Final Score Prediction: South Carolina 73 Alabama 68
Why this pick? The Gamecocks are playing well in SEC play, I think this continues against a slumping Alabama team.
TCU at West Virginia
7 PM ET on ESPNU
Line: TCU -4
Pick: TCU
Against the Spread: TCU
Final Score Prediction: TCU 78 West Virginia 69
Why this pick? The Mountaineers have been slumping big time in Big 12 play, that likely continues against a solid TCU team.
St. Louis at VCU
7:30 PM ET on CBS Sports Network
Line: VCU -10.5
Pick: VCU
Against the Spread: VCU
Final Score Prediction: VCU 78 St. Louis 57
Why this pick? The Rams are rolling, while St. Louis is slumping big time. Take this right now before the line goes up.
Syracuse at North Carolina
9 PM ET on ESPN3
Line: North Carolina -12
Pick: North Carolina
Against the Spread: North Carolina
Final Score Prediction: North Carolina 83 Syracuse 56
Why this pick? The Tar Heels are rolling as of late, I will continue to buy into North Carolina, especially at home.
Texas A&M at LSU
9 PM ET on ESPN2
Line: LSU -11.5
Pick: LSU
Against the Spread: Texas A&M
Final Score Prediction: LSU 81 Texas A&M 72
Why this pick? LSU is coming off a big win against Tennessee, the Aggies will keep this close for a while and they will cover the spread.
Temple at Memphis
9 PM ET on ESPNU
Line: Memphis -3.5
Pick: Temple
Against the Spread: Temple
Final Score Prediction: Temple 78 Memphis 73
Why this pick? This is a must win for the Owls, I think they show up and pick up a Quadrant one win.
Wisconsin at Indiana
9 PM ET on ESPN
Line: Wisconsin -2.5
Pick: Wisconsin
Against the Spread: Wisconsin
Final Score Prediction: Wisconsin 65 Indiana 56
Why this pick? The Hoosiers are slumping right now and they can’t win close games. With such a small spread it is a great idea to pick Wisconsin.
