Free Pick: Pittsburgh -7.5
What is better than when the two winningest programs in college football history tee it up for glory and a chance at 2009 redemption? If you’re a college football bettor, nothing is better because this game represents the best chance to get on top of your man this weekend. Notre Dame beat up on Michigan in South Bend last year, but so did everyone else. This year’s a different story, as Rich Rodriguez has more of his players in place, and has a quarterback capable of running his system.

It didn’t take long for Tennessee coach Monte Kiffin to announce to the world that he meant business in Knoxville. The problem, of course, is that Kiffin picked on the wrong guy. It’s hard to imagine a coach doing something dumber than baiting Urban Meyer, and now the Volunteers head to Florida for what should be the ultimate put up or shut up game.

Free Pick: Uconn -4.00
No team in the NCAA tournament thus far has been as dominant as the UConn Huskies. With an average margin of victory at about 25 points a game the Huskies the best team to bet on for the duration of the Big Dance.
In the first round they destroyed Chattanooga by 56 points, then in the second round they manhandled Texas A&M beating the Aggies by 26. Once the Sweet 16 came around the Purdue Boilmakers were the Huskies next victim as UConn ended Purdue’s upset hopes by knocking them off with a 12 point victory. Finally the Missouri Tigers were the only team standing in their way who were playing phenomenal basketball coming into their Elite Eight match up with the Huskies, but they couldn’t hang with the Big East beast and lost by seven points.

Free Pick: Villanova +7.5
In my opinion, the UConn Huskies are the best team in the tournament. They have convincingly beaten every team they have faced and look to be on their way to winning another NCAA title for coach Jim Calhoun.
Although I believe that the Huskies are the best squad left standing and will win it all when it is all said and done, the North Carolina Tar Heels have played pretty damn well themselves and should be the team the Huskies face in the NCAA title game!

Free Pick: Villanova +2
Although there haven’t been many upsets in this NCAA tournament so far, I think Duke will be one of the big dogs to fall in the Big Dance.
It would be hard to argue that the Big East conference wasn’t the most competitive and talented conference in college basketball this year. Yeah, the ACC was pretty tough as usual, but the Big East has been full of NBA caliber players and solid teams.
One of the most impressive teams in the Big East that you really didn’t hear much about due to UConn and Pitt’s success this season has been the Villanova Wildcats.

Free Pick: Uconn -7
There has been no team in the NCAA tournament this March then the UConn. The Huskies may have had a rocky ending to the regular season with the loss to Pittsburgh and an early exit in the Big East tournament in the now famous six overtimes loss to Syracuse, but they have definitely come on incredibly strong in the first two rounds of the Big Dance.

Free Pick: Syracuse +1
There no more compelling game in the Sweet 16 this weekend than the Syracuse Orangemen taking on Blake Griffin and the Oklahoma Sooners. This game has everything a college basketball fan and avid sports bettor would want to see in the Big Dance.
There is the superstar appeal with the Sooners Blake Griffin. There is the underdog and somewhat of a Cinderella story with the Orangemen. And then there is the -1 point spread which shows how close the handicappers think this game will be.

Free Pick: Duke -7
These two teams have only played each other three times in this decade, but the Duke Blue Devils have gotten the best of them every time and not by just a small margin.
In each of the last three match ups between these two elite college basketball schools Duke has beaten the Texas Longhorns by at least 27 points each time they have taken the floor.

Free Pick: UConn -10
As of right now the spread is -10 in favor of the Huskies of course and to be honest I think that is giving the Aggies too much credit.
The Huskies might not be considered the best team in the country anymore after the Pittsburgh Panthers beat up on them twice before season’s end, but after their performance on Thursday against Chattanooga I am officially a believer that UConn will be this year’s National champion in college basketball.
