Free NBA Picks: Thursday TNT Doubleheader
by Matt Severance - 3/11/2010
This is not exactly the best TNT doubleheader of the year with each game featuring a losing team and only the Orlando Magic are considered an elite club among the four playing. But in a way it’s nice change to see teams other than the Celtics, Lakers, Cavs or Nuggets get some national coverage.

College Basketball Free Pick: North Carolina at Duke
by Matt Severance - 3/5/2010
I grant you that there are better games on Saturday and with more at stake than North Carolina vs. Duke, but it just feels wrong not to preview college basketball’s best rivalry even with the Tar Heels being a massive disappointment and a likely NIT team. And, of course, ESPN GameDay and Dickie V will be there.

by Matt Severance - 3/4/2010
For once, NBA fans and bettors aren’t force fed LeBron James and the Cavs on one of the TNT games on a Thursday night, but we do get the two other best players in the league facing off in Kobe Bryant vs. Dwyane Wade. As for the nightcap … unfortunately, the Suns’ improbable 18-game losing streak on TNT was ended back in late January, but they and the Jazz continue to jockey for playoff position and very well could meet in the first round.

Saturday College Basketball Preview: Kentucky at Vanderbilt
by Matt Severance - 2/19/2010
Kentucky and Vanderbilt, Saturday game of the day. That may sound familiar to you, as it should: This was the highlighted game three weeks ago here on Doc’s as well, but it deserves the top treatment again this week. Back then, Vandy entered having won 10 games in a row and was actually leading Kentucky in the SEC East. So what happened that day in Lexington?

NBA Free Picks: Thursday Doubleheader On TNT
by Matt Severance - 2/18/2010
Interesting night on TNT on Thursday as the matchups feature the Cavs and Lakers, the huge favorites in the East and West, respectively, against an opponent that many believe to be the second-best in each opposite conference in Denver and Boston. It’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility that both games tonight could be a preview of an NBA Finals matchup.

by Nicholas Tolomeo - 2/10/2010

Free Sports Picks: College Basketball Wednesday Night
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 2/3/2010
The Pitt Panthers are starting to play like everyone thought they would entering the season. Things seem to be unraveling after losing three out of four, including a home game against Georgetown and road games against mid-level Big East teams Seton Hall and South Florida. Pitt remains the only team in the country to defeat Syracuse, they did it on the road by 10 points, no less, and they also own impressive wins at Cincinnati and Connecticut.

NBA Free Picks: Thursday Doubleheader On TNT
by Matt Severance - 1/28/2010
The Celtics have won both games since Kevin Garnett returned from injury. But be aware that one was over a Portland team missing Brandon Roy and the other was at home against the road lousy Clippers. Boston had lost eight of 12 before KG got back. Orlando enters off a loss in Memphis – no shame in that anymore – but had won its previous three games.

NBA Free Picks: Thursday Doubleheader On TNT
by Matt Severance - 1/21/2010
It’s an all-L.A. doubleheader tonight on TNT (the only two games on the NBA schedule Thursday), with the can’t-miss game obviously being the nightcap between the Clippers and Nuggets – you might as well skip the 8 p.m. game as it won’t have any players you’ve heard of.

Free Sports Picks: Thursday NBA Doubleheader on TNT
by Matt Severance - 1/14/2010
The Bulls haven’t played since Monday when they beat sliding Detroit by 33 points and shot 57.1 percent from the field. That was Chicago’s second win in a row, but both came over bad teams at the United Center (the other being Minnesota). Chicago should have the advantage of fresh legs because the Celtics played Wednesday night (their sixth game in nine days), although they didn’t have to exert themselves too much in a 111-87 win over the Nets.

Free Sports Picks: NFL Marquee Matchups
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/24/2009
An easy straight up win on Saturday with underdog Dallas and a late Steelers’ rally to force a push leaves me at 3-0-1 in NFL picks and 7-2-1 in my free football picks this season. For this weekend I have a pair of rivalry games on tap with an AFC title game rematch with major playoff implications when Baltimore visits Pittsburgh and a Sunday Night Football showdown between the playoff bound Dallas Cowboys and the hard-to-figure-out Washington Redskins.

The Magic (19-6, 13-11 ATS) enter on a two-game win streak, which followed a two-game losing streak. Orlando beat visiting Toronto and former Magic star Hedo Turkoglu, 118-99, on Wednesday night thanks in large part to hitting 57 percent of its shots overall and 14-for-30 from three-point range.

Free Sports Picks: Sunday NFL Marquee Games
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/10/2009
Both teams are playoff contenders, and, believe it or not, it is just one of six games this weekend featuring two teams contending for a playoff spot. The Chargers come to town as one of the hottest teams in the NFL with seven straight wins but the Cowboys have been one of the better home teams (5-1 SU). Dallas and Philadelphia are in a dead heat in the NFC East and Denver is gaining back some ground on the Chargers, just one game behind in the AFC West. The game is critical for both teams.

by Matt Severance - 12/10/2009
It’s the regular season finale for the 2009 college football season, and there’s arguably no better way to end it than with tradition-rich Army vs. Navy in Philadelphia for their 110th meeting – the game was moved a week later this year to stand on its own.

Free Sports Picks: Championship Saturday College Football Picks
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 12/4/2009
After an easy shutout win and cover by Oklahoma I am now 2-1 in my free college football picks heading into Championship Saturday. Much like rivalry week and bowl week, Championship Saturday games need to be looked at in a different light. In most situations, conference titles are up for grabs but in the grand scheme of things some teams are playing for completely different things.

Free Sports Picks: Saturday Oklahoma State at Oklahoma Preview and Free Pick
by Nicholas Tolomeo - 11/27/2009
They say when two old rivals get together you can just throw out the record books. That seems like good logic considering the close nature of these past rivalries and the general hatred the teams have for each other. However, when it comes to betting can you throw out the trends too?

by Nicholas Tolomeo - 11/19/2009
