Holiday Tease

NCAA BASKETBALL


Yesterday, we absolutely nailed our 3 team teaser. In fact, it probably didn't need to be teased at all. As today is a holiday and there isn't anything going on in the sports world. We're bringing you 3 more teams to throw in a teaser, just for the hell of it. 3 teams, +150.  (2-1, L)

BJ's Pick: North Carolina (-1.5, teased to +3.5 @ Florida St.) (WINNER!)
Both these teams have been decent ATS this year. In fact, NC has covered the spread in their last 6 games. Let's assume that Vegas is going to adjust for that and try to come up on the public today. That makes this Monday pick an easy choice for a teaser. Look for James Michael McAdoo to out-battle Aaron Thomas in a close NC victory.

Bob's Pick: OK St. at Baylor (-5.5 teased to -.5) (WINNER)
Okay, so this is the first installment that features players that are a little more legal than what I usually go for, but still barely legal nonetheless. We start with prospect Isaiah Austin, the 7ft Baylor sophomore center. He's long, athletic, and can walk while chewing gum meaning he will play in the NBA. He needs to put on some muscle in order to bang at the NBA level, but he definitely has a place as a rotation player in the league which is more than anyone not named Marcus Smart can say at OK State. The second player to focus on is PF Cory Jefferson, the senior forward is also an NBA rotation player waiting to happen. He's got good size and solid production over his four years at Baylor. NBADRAFT.net has his player comparison as Carlos Rogers who I am pretty sure plays for the 49ers so I don't see how that works. Baylor easily covers this game at (-.5) home with OK State guard Marcus Smart serving the last game of his suspension.
Delaware Basketball
Ben's Pick: Delaware (+3 teased to +8) at Towson (L)

Basketball factory Delaware rolls into whatever town Towson is located in looking to continue their recent trend of success (it's a rough night for games okay!). In the last three games for Delaware, senior guard Davon Usher has dropped 42, 25, and 32 and he doesn't even lead the team in scoring on the season! Couple that with the fact that the Blue Hens (that's really their name) are 11-0 in conference play and (+8) looks pretty good even on the road.
