Picks for Best Games on Saturday, November 17th
Saturday’s is generally for College Football in the fall, so there is always an expectation that there will be fewer quality games especially early in the season and that is the case today. There will be a total of six games available to watch today, here are my predictions for five of them.
George Washington vs. Michigan
Noon ET on ESPN3
Line: Michigan -18.5
Pick: Michigan
Against the Spread: Michigan
Final Score Prediction: Michigan 71 George Washington 44
Game Outlook: Michigan won’t have the same performance as they did against Villanova but they should be able to win comfortably while covering.
Providence vs. South Carolina
2:30 PM ET on ESPN3
Line: Providence -1.5
Pick: Providence
Against the Spread: Providence
Final Score Prediction: Providence 87 South Carolina 78
Game Outlook: Neither of these teams are very good, I think the Friars though are a little bit better, plus they will be playing close to home, giving them a home court advantage, give me the Friars in this one.
Furman at Villanova
5 PM ET on Fox Sports 2
Line: Villanova -16
Pick: Villanova
Against the Spread: Villanova
Final Score Prediction: Villanova 98 Furman 73
Game Outlook: After getting completely demolished at home, I expect this team to come out with vengeance as they win this one big.
St. Louis at Seton Hall
8 PM ET on Fox Sports 2
Line: Seton Hall -6
Pick: Seton Hall
Against the Spread: No pick
Final Score Prediction: Seton Hall 79 St. Louis 73
Game Outlook: This is a game to stay away from as both these teams are probably good. I think the Pirates are the better team but are they seven points better than St. Louis? I don’t know.
Yale at Memphis
8 PM ET on ESPN3
Line: Memphis -4.5
Pick: Memphis
Against the Spread: Memphis
Final Score Prediction: Memphis 82 Yale 68
Game Outlook: I really like this Memphis team and I continue to do so after their game at LSU. I think they should win this game comfortably while covering.
Yesterday’s results against the spread: 4-4
Yesterday was an average day for my picks, I hope you didn’t take any advice from me when betting on the 2K Classic because yesterday I wrapped up a 0-4 campaign in those games.
Season results against the spread: 33-25
