Picks for Best Games on Sunday, January 27th
Today is going to be a Sunday without Football, which of course means the slate of games isn’t bad because College Basketball starts to get some of the airtime. Today’s games features a good Big East Double-Header, a good Big Ten matchup, and a few other good matchups spread out throughout the day, here are my picks on all of the best games being played today

Noon ET on FOX
Line: St. John’s -7
Pick: St. John’s
Against the Spread: St. John’s
Final Score Prediction: St. John’s 93 Georgetown 76
Why this pick? The Red Storm in Madison Square Garden are always tough to beat, I think they win this game comfortably.
Cincinnati at Temple
Noon ET on CBS Sports Network
Line: Cincinnati -2.5
Pick: Cincinnati
Against the Spread: Cincinnati
Final Score Prediction: Cincinnati 73 Temple 62
