Thursday Picks (Open For Discussion)

First time posting picks. If I ever post it will be purely analytical and not on a whim so feel free to comment and we can get this money.

Arizona (Straight Up)

Arizona @ Utah (146 Under)

BYU -2 @ San Fran

BYU @ San Fran (134 Over)

Reasons: Arizona game should be a tightly contested matchup. Arizona, when playing teams with a slower tempo or big frontcourt, tend to reliably be low scoring. The total is only what it is due to both these teams playing higher tempo teams at other times during the season, thus creating a stat clash. No way in hell will Utah score 70+ and Arizona will have 70 at best. I take Arizona straight up due to the better matchups at guard, but admittedly I don't see Arizona winning huge.

The BYU game is pretty much a replica of when BYU played UTAH, Utah State, Utah Valley, and Weber State. Going into further detail San Fran's game against San Diego can also be included. The tempos are all the same and these teams are pretty much designed in the same kind of fashion. Due to the previous results the game should more than likely hit about 142 at best and 136 at lowest, which is the same totals as the other games. I believe BYU should win by about 10 points and hit 70+. San Fran is essentially BYU lite, therefore i'll take the official version and BYU to cover. 

Utah 7-0 home court will be 8-0 after this game. Large play on utah buying hook to + 3 1/2. Good luck with your arizona analysis. 

If that's what you believe the  that's what you believe. Im saying im picking AZ straight up, spread doesn't matter to me in this particular game, but please do better than bragging and not saying why lol.

Welp. This is why you analyze a game instead of going with stupid trends. Utah played NO ONE good at home this year. As i said in my analysis. Arizona has better guard play and better in transistion, point blank. Utah is not going to win this game. But, arizona killed my under more than likely because they are hammering Utah's weakness.

Agreed. But killed my other bet smh. Defense has been piss poor on both sides. Things like this game is why i don't like betting totals often really.
