BYU at Air Force
February 9th 2011 20:59
It was another strong night of picks last night. Hit my free play to now push me to 5-1 over the last six games in free plays and I hit my Total of the week for my paid plays. I am going to jump into college basketball tonight to make a free pick on the BYU and Air Force game.
Free Play: Air Force 10
I am going to start by saying that I know BYU is a very good team and that they are going to win this game but I do not see them covering the points in this game. When you are a top ten team in the country you are going to get every team that plays you to step up their game and that is what they are going to see tonight from this Air Force club.
BYU (22-2-, 8-1) enters this matchup tonight off a 14 point home win as a 7 point favorite their last time out over UNLV. BYU is averaging 84.2 points per game on the road this season but allowing 73.3 points per game away from home. The Cougars are 8-1 on the road this season but they are just 5-8 ATS away from home on the season. BYU is 3-6 ATS this season on the road against team that are above .500. The Cougars are just 5-10 ATS this season when they score 75 or more points the previous game. BYU is just 3-6 ATS this year as a favorite of 10 plus points. BYU is just 4-9 ATS against a team with a winning home record.
Air force (13-9, 4-5) enters this matchup looking to get revenge on a BYU team that beat them by 10 in BYU back in early January. The Falcons have had good success at home this year in which they are 9-3 SU and 4-3 ATS. The Falcons owe a lot of their success to the defense that they play. The Falcons are allowing just 60.6 points pr game at home this season and are only allowing teams to shoot 38.1 % on them at home. Air Force is 7-2 ATS this season against conference opponents. Air Force is 4-2 ATS this season as an underdog of 10 plus points. The Falcons are 9-0 ATS the last nine games after allowing 50 points or less the previous game.
Look for BYU to win this game since they are much better then Air Force but look for Air Force to keep this game within 10 points. The Falcons have played outstanding defense this year and should be able to score some points on this BYU team at home. BYU will score points but I don’t see them putting up 76 points like the last meeting between these two teams. Look for this game to end up with a BYU win 71-67. I will take the 10 points with Air Force and cash another winning free play ticket.
