Indian Cowboy's Picks For College Basketball


3 Straight Winners after Southern Miss wins yesterday as we are on a 17-7 Run in College Basketball and 17-9 in March Madness. It's been a very strong run in March with our 1 POD System leading the way. More work to be done and we might step-out tomorrow as we look to end the season on a high note.

4-Unit Play. #658. Take Alabama -4 over Maryland (Tuesday @ 7:30pm est).

This is about conference pride here. The SEC hosts ACC contender Maryland and this is a big game for Alabama to step forward. Alabama took a big step forward with their stifling defense over Stanford at home winning 66-54 and this team is slowly but surely learning how to win games and close them out let it be home or on the road. Alabama has won 23 games this year to their credit which is two more than last year when they took a 1st round exit against Creighton losing 58-57. This team is still very young with essentially 4 sophomores and 1 junior leading the way and they will be a team to be reckoned with next year. This team plays a Maryland who is very good but one who struggles when they face strong defensive teams. Alabama is a top 20 defensive team in the country and Maryland is outside the top 250 when it comes to turnover margin. Take that into account along with Maryland 11 to Boston College and 10 to Georgia Tech in the second half of the year, two teams outside the top 70 and now they have to go on the road to face a top 20 defensive team that is ranked top 60 in most power rankings. I like Alabama at home here to do well as this team will get up to play their SEC foe as they will host them with a solid crowd behind Alabama as they root them on here. Alabama is 5-0 ATS when they face teams with a winning percentage of greater than 60% overall.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NBA Basketball

NBA: We took New Orleans +7 over Denver yesterday in a great Outright Call. Let's keep it rolling with another winner in the NBA Today and repeat the 6-1 week we had the other week.

4-Unit Play. #652. Take Boston Celtics -2 over New York (Tuesday @ 7pm est).

The Celtics return home after a very disappointing road trip where they lost a series of games. For a team that now sits at 7th seed and only a few games up on Milwaukee to avoid being the 8th seed and facing Miami, its vital that this team get back on their horse and pick up a home win over the Knicks. New York beat this team earlier this year in Boston and this is a revenge game for Boston. Sure Boston will not have the services of Rondo or KG in this game, but they are at home and that is always and advantage for this team. Plus, they still have Paul Pierce and Jeff Green on the offensive end and this is the same team that beat Toronto by 24, Charlotte by 17 and lost to Miami by 2 points at home giving up a lead late. New York comes off a big win against Toronto and has won 4 straight contests and has played well of late. But, with Boston needing this win after a series of losses including losing every single one of their games on their 3 game road trip against 3 quality opponents in the likes of Memphis, New Orleans (who just beat Denver) its hard to hold it against Boston as they return back home. We did not make it a step-out today but I do like Boston to do well at home today and pick up the win as they get revenge and return back to form coming off a tough road trip.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NHL Hockey


4-Unit Play. #14 St. Louis Blues Puck-Line (-1.5 Goals) (+135) vs. Edmonton (Wednesday @ 8:05 pm est)
The Oilers have dropped three of four games including a (3-0) loss to these St. Louis Blues on their home ice. The Blues are off a (3-2) loss to Calgary but have started to show signs of the great defensive team that we saw last season with some solid play of late on a three game road swing through the northwest. St. Louis is at their best at home in at the Scottrade Center where they have been a dominant team. The Blues feature one of the two best defensive teams in the NHL and struggled somewhat early and a lot of that had to do with key offensive players missing time. The Blues could be the most dangerous team in the League the last part of this season. The formula for winning of head coach Ken Hitchcock is the same as always. It's three competitive center icemen, good depth on defense and great goaltending. That's what wins in the NHL and that is what the St. Louis Blues are all about. The Oilers are (0-6) in the last (6) meetings in St. Louis, (16-41) in their last (57) Tuesday games and (34-88) in their last (122) road games. No sour notes being played by the Blues in this one as the Oilers are playing back-to-back games.

Robert Ferringo's Picks For NHL Hockey
3-Unit Pick Take #11 New York Rangers (-1.05) over Philadelphia (7:35 pm, Tuesday, March 26th)
It's about that time of year already in the NHL with every game being a important two points in the standings and that couldn't have more of a meaning with the Rangers in Philadelphia to play the Flyers. Neither team has lived up to expections heading into the shorten season with New York sitting in the eight and final playoff spot and the Flyers five points behind them. The Rangers surprise me, this team on paper is a good hockey club and while I know things don't get done on paper in any situation in life this team shouldn't be in this position. I like the Rangers chances of improving down the stretch mainly because of the front office, they just signed Mats Zuccarello for a second tour with the Rangers and Jasper Fast a 21 one year old Swed who has a ton of skill, while these moves might not catch some people eyes they will get some attention in the locker room with some guy's being the odd man out if they don't produce. The Flyers are the other hand are dead in the water, this team has no help in the minors and they just lost Danny Briere to a concussion and most likely will be without defenseman Nicklas Grossman tonight which isn't good playing in front of goalie ILya Bryzgalov who has had a heavy workload this year. I just don't think the market realizes that this is a off year in Philly and they shouldn't be a small chalk here.

2-Unit Pick Take #4 Carolina (-1.25) over Winnipeg (7pm, Tuesday, March 26th)
This one is another big one in the standings with Carolina trailing the Jets in the division race by four points but these two will still meet three more times after tonight and Carolina does have three games in hand. The Jets went on a nice run to get into that top spot in the division winning 10 of 14 games between February 19th to March 16th but have struggled lately losing two straight games at home to Washington to allow the Caps back into the race before beating the struggling Tampa Bay Lighting at home on Sunday but even that was a struggle. Carolina is a good hockey club coming off their longest break in the season after losing to New Jersey at home on Thursday, I think we get a honest effort in a important game from Carolina tonight and this price looks on the cheap side.

2-Unit Pick Take Over (5.5) Edmonton at St.Louis (8pm, Tuesday, March 26th)
Edmonton rolls into St.Louis after losing last night in Nashvile 3-2 to play a St. Louis team that beat them last week in Edmonton 3-0 and held this young offense to just 19 shots. The Oilers have a lot of young talent trying to figure out how to play at this level but this team is getting better and even in the third period last night out played and out chanced the Predators but just couldn't solve Nashville goalie Pekka Rinna. I think that effort will carry over tonight, the Blues have played to five straight unders while Edmonton has gone 1-1 and 3 pushes on the total the last five, both a small sample and is baseless. The real value here is taking back the plus thirty dollars to go over because of perception of that small sample run. Go over

NCAA-B | Mar 26 '13 (8:00p) BRADLEY vs NORTHERN IOWA	BRADLEY +11-106 at 5dimes
15* College Basketball GAME OF THE NIGHT on Bradley +11 The Bradley Braves get the call tonight as a double-digit road underdog to the Northern Iowa Panthers. These are two familiar foes as they both come from the Missouri Valley Conference, and there's no way the Panthers should be favored this heavily because of it. I have no doubt that Northern Iowa is overvalued here due to its two victories over Bradley in the regular season. UNI won the first meeting 84-53 at home on January 12th, and the second meeting 68-65 on the road on February 10th. The Braves will have serious revenge in mind, while the Panthers will have a hard time getting motivated to beat the same team three times. This play falls into a system that is 116-58 (66.7%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. It tells us to bet on road underdogs of 10 or more points (BRADLEY) - revenging a home loss vs opponent, a marginal winning team (51% to 60%) playing a winning team. Northern Iowa is 2-10 ATS when playing against a marginal winning team (Win Pct. 51% to 60%) over the last 2 seasons. Bradley is 23-13 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 2 seasons. The Panthers are 21-39 ATS as a favorite of 10 or more points since 1997. Take Bradley Thursday.

NBA | Mar 26 '13 (9:35p) Los Angeles Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks

Dallas Mavericks -109 at 5dimes

20* Clippers/Mavs TNT Tuesday Night BAILOUT on Dallas Money Line -109 The Dallas Mavericks are quietly sneaking up on that 8th and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. They trail the Los Angeles Lakers by just 1.5 games thanks to a nice run in which they have won eight of their last 11 games overall. Dallas has been undervalued for quite some time now due to a slow start to the season. That's evident by the fact that it is 25-10 ATS in its last 35 games overall. The Mavs should be laying points to the Clippers tonight. The Mavs come in highly motivated to make the playoffs, but they also want revenge on Los Angeles. They have lost the first two meeting in this series this season, but both of those came in Los Angeles. Dallas is 24-6 SU in its last 30 home meetings with the Clippers. The Mavericks are 18-4 ATS in their last 22 games following a ATS loss. Dallas is 18-6 ATS in its last 24 vs. Western Conference opponents. The Clippers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. win. Los Angeles is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 vs. Western Conference foes. Bet the Mavericks Tuesday.
