Wunderdog Sports Free Pick

Game: Air Force vs. Army (1:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Army -3 (-105) at 5Dimes

It is fitting that the Army will open their 2013-14 season vs. the Air Force. Army had a great season a year ago, winning 16 games, and even won a game in the Patriot Conference Tournament before bowing to a strong Bucknell team by just 8 points. Air Force put together a streaky, but good season a year ago, but may be challenged to duplicate it as they have lost some key players. Army hasn't had a team as good as this one could turn out to be in awhile, and expectations are promising. This should get them off to a good start as they are a better team than Air Force, and should have no problem taking down the small number here. Play on Army.

TODAY'S ACTION --




(NCAA BB)


UNDER 132.5 CRIMSON TIDE @ SOONERS
This Alabama team should be a force to be reckoned with in the SEC this season, as despite being picked to finish 6th in the SEC this season, this is an Alabama team that returns 7 players from last season, with 5 of their top 7 scorers returning, as well as 3 starters. Let's not forget, this is primarily the same Tide team that made a nice little run in the NIT beating Northeastern and Stanford before finally falling by a point against a tough Maryland squad, 58-57, ending their season. They will be expecting a lot more from their superstar guard, Relaford, and he has shown that he should be capable of carrying the burden for this team. Not really all that sure what to expect from this Oklahoma team, as they are using almost an entirely new starting rotation. The Sooners of last year had a rough go of it when playing away from home, as they were 1-6 ML in their L7 games when not played on their own campus, and 2-8 ML in their L10 away from home. They were 3-3 ML and ATS when playing on a neutral court, but they finished the season 0-2 ML and ATS in the tournaments. This Bama squad on the other hand was a pretty good bet down the stretch for their backers, as they cashed in on the spread in 4 of their L5 games played, while posting a 7-2 ATS record in their L9 to close out 2012-13. They were a perfect 4-0 ATS when playing on a neutral court themselves, while also posting a 3-1 ML record in those games. The Tide were also 8-2 ATS in their L10 away from home. As for the Under, I just anticipate this one to be a tight battle throughout and historically low-scoring games are the way these two teams play each other. Their 4 career meetings have resulted in a perfect 3-0 record for the Under and Alabama finished off the season last year with 5 straight Under wins and a 7-2 mark for the Under in their L9. These two teams have also played to the Under for the most part on neutral courts, as Oklahoma is 4-1 for the Under in the L5 at a neutral site, while the Tide are a perfect 5-0 for the Under in their L5 in a neutral building. Go with the UNDER to hit in this season-opener.......




BOSTON COLLEGE EAGLES (+3)


This one may end up being an outright win by the Eagles from BC when all is said and done, but we'll take the points instead and keep it on the spread for this one. These two schools have a long history of matching up and that has meant the win for Boston College in recent years. They have picked up the outright win and cover in 4 of the L5 meetings between the two schools since the 2008-09 school year and the Eagles are a dominating 7-3 ML and ATS in the L10 meetings overall. The Eagles have also posted a 5-3 ML and 6-2 ATS record in the L8 meetings held on the Providence campus. To take it even further, Providence has only had 2 of their 3 wins on their home campus in this series come by more than today's spread. Four of the L5 meetings between the two schools have had a final deciding margin of 5 points or less, with 2 of the L3 match-ups ending as 2-point wins for Boston College, with both on their home court. This Eagles squad returns all 5 starters from the end of last season, which should also be a good thing, as this Eagles squad rolled off 4 wins in their final 5 games to close out the year. Providence has seen a little trouble come their way this offseason, and the chemistry of the team most likely has been tested. They will be without 2 freshman due to suspension, and there have been a few other off the court incidences involving members of the team recently. How will they respond today will be seen fairly early. The road team is also 9-4 ATS in the L13 match-ups between the schools. Run with the BOSTON COLLEGE EAGLES to come through as the road underdog in today's battle......




MARYLAND TERRAPINS (+6)


This one should be an entertaining game all the way throughout as both of these schools enter the 2013-14 season with much-improved squads looking to bring some prominance back to their campus. Maryland definitely provides an intriguing make-up this season and this could be a very big year once again for one of the nation's storied programs. They were a cover machine to close out the season last year, as they finished off the year picking up the money for their backers in 7 of their final 8 games and 8-2 ATS in their L10 overall. They played well outside of Maryland also, as although they were 3-3 ML, they were a much more profitable 5-1 ATS in their L6 games not played on their own court. They managed those exact same records when playing on a neutral court as well, with a season-opening cover against Kentucky in a neutral building, as a 10.5-point dog. They also managed to show a profit when they were playing as the underdog, with an 8-5 ATS record when getting the points overall for the season, but they were a much more prosperous 6-2 ATS in their L8 as the dog to close out the year. The Huskies return the usual quality team, still with some leftovers on the squad from the Kemba Walker championship days. They too were a profitable bunch down the stretch last season, as despite losing 3 of their L4 games, they picked up the cash and covered the spread in 5 of their L6. They were 7-2 ATS in their L9 games and 12-5 ATS in their L17 games in 2012-13. Still this one should be closer than this spread would indicate. Maryland in 2-0 ML and 1-1 ATS in the 2 meetings between the two schools since the 2000's began. Go with the MARYLAND TERRAPINS for the cover in this afternoon match-up.....

Dallas Mavericks at Minnesota T-Wolves (-4) 8:05 ET
5* Dallas

The Wolves enter at 3-2 SU ATS and will be eager to make amends for their 13 point home loss to Golden Wednesday night. A now healthy group of T-Wolves will far exceed their 31 wins of last season. PG Rubio is surrounded by scoring forces Kev. Martin and Love. But they are hosting the Mavs, who are 11-2 SU at this site, on the wrong night. Dallas is off a 14 point loss of their own at OKC Wednesday. The Mavs are among the most resilient teams in the league at 30-13 ATS L1+Y. Always eager to back HC Carlisle in his preferred role, where he is 80-55 ATS as road dog as coach of the Mavs, a team who was 27-14 ATS on the road last year.
