Beating The Bookies: College Basketball Picks January 7

I am taking a short break from my mid-term studies to make a few picks for tonight. It's been two weeks since I made last picks and hopefully I am not rusty.

Tennessee is looking for revenge against a Gonzaga team that dismantled them down in Orlando during Thanksgiving weekend.  However, both teams are falling short of expectations as the Zags have lost four of five while Tennessee is still searching for their go to player after an injury to Wayne Chism.  The Vols home winning streak ends tonight as Gonzaga will avoid there longest losing streak under the reign of Mark Few.

In a battle of North Carolina, Duke takes on Davidson in an effort to hold onto their number two ranking.  Davidson, on the other hand, is looking to get that premier win that will assure them a spot in the national spotlight.  Duke is a  very good team that will win this game but there is no way Stephen Curry passes up an opportunity to shine on national television.  This will be close, but a one man team can not beat a team as solid as Duke.

Gonzaga +4.5 1 Unit

Davidson +14 1 Unit

Season- 3-2 (60%) +1 Unit
