Sports Handicapper Chip Chirimbes's Picks & Predictions

Portland at Utah 9:00 ET

Trailblazers (+) over Jazz- After a quite start to the season Portland has dropped three straight and 7-of-8 and their swoon can be attributed to Damian Lillard’s absence as he has missed the last six games and will also be out tonight. Utah has won their last two games after losing five straight. Blazers 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games and get the money here. Take PORTLAND!

West Virginia at Xavier 6:30 ET

Mountaineers (+) over Musketeers- The X-man may have three losses already but you can’t blame them for trying as they have lost to No. 10 Indiana at home and to No. 8 Duke and No. 6 Gonzaga in the Phil Knight Tourney. Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins has had plenty of experience against Xavier going 8-8 in the ‘Crosstown Shootout’ when coaching Cincinnati who he led to a Final Four. Mountain-boys have four in double-digits and enough talent with good coaching t win here. take WEST VIRGINIA!   

Wichita State at Kansas State 9:00 ET

Shockers (+) over Wildcats- That was quite a performance by the Shockers last time out hosting Missouri they went overtime before falling 88-84. But, the thing to note is that the tigers shot 54.1% from the floor and made 12 3-pointers, but the committed 20 turnovers and missed 8-of-14 free throws. How does a team make 12 3-pointers and not make FT’s? Kansas State suffered their first loss to Butler in Indianapolis and are 1-4 ATS after a SU loss.

Take WICHITA STATE!

Indiana at Rutgers 4:00 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Hoosiers- Oh boy! Ain’t we got fun...Indiana pops into the Top-10 for the first time in over five years after defeating an over-ratted North Carolina clubs that has now dropped three in-a-row. This is a perfect spot to ambush the 7-0 Hoosiers who are playing their first true road game and they are 8-20-2 ATS in their last 30 road games after three straight at home. And get this the Scarlet Knights are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 home games against teams with winning records, add that the home team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take RUTGERS!

Oklahoma at Villanova 12:30 ET

Wildcats over Sooners- Oklahoma lost its season opener by one point to Sam Houston 52-51 and many though it to be a long year, but the Sooners have responded with six straight wins and won the ESPN tourney in Kissimmee, FL defeating Nebraska, Seton Hall and Mississippi. Without Jay Wright as their leader Villanova has already lost three straight to Iowa State, Portland and Oregon getting swept in the Phil Knight Tourney. Although their talent is now of the level of recent editions the Wildcats will give the Sooners all it can handle. Take VILLANOVA!

Louisiana State vs Georgia 4:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Georgia- So glad LSU tanked last week as Texas A&M our SEC Game of the Year was never headed and romped as a 10-point under dogs 3909. Georgia is without a doubt (in my mind) the best team in the country but that does not carry any weight when the point spread is in play. The Tigers will look to force the Bulldogs into a conservative game plan as offensive mistakes against this LSU defense can put one in difficult position. The Bulldogs are 0-4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and LSU is 20-7 ATS after a loss. Take GEORGIA!

Purdue vs Michigan 8:00 ET

Wolverines (-) over Boilermakers- Michigan was the most impressive of all contenders last Saturday just waylaying out the Buckeyes. The question here is can they keep their intensity for the Big Ten Championship game. Purdue has a future pro at quarterback with Adian O’Connell who has thrown for over 3,000 yards and has 22 TD’s but has been hampered by injuries this season. The Wolves have the second best defense in the country allowing just 262.3 YPG and just 83 yards rushing. Purdue did good the get here and it was mostly the schedule and defense ranking No. 34 allowing just 347 YPG. Wolves 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take PURDUE!  

Clemson vs North Carolina 8:00 ET

Tar Heels over Tigers- How could they, how could they make this Clemson team more than a TD favorite here. Come-on, their quarterback is atrocious and is getting worse every week. Once thought to be a potential super star this guy should be sitting the bench. Now, how bad is their back-up at QB that Dabo doesn’t make a change. Letting this kid play is a firer-able offense (never Happen). North Carolina has been a major disappointment for the second straight year and they are so tempting because of and offense that averages close to 500 YPG. I guess the issue is that they allow about 450 YPG. But, this is the ACC Championship game and it is December when the Tigers are 15-2 ATS in their last 17 games and they are 20-7 ATS at neutral sites. Add that the favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Tar Heels are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games at neutral sites. Take CLEMSON! 

Central Florida at Tulane 4:00 ET

Knights (+) over Green Wave- Win or lose I’m pretty sure of one thing and that this will be an exciting game with a pair of clubs that score just a hair under 35-point per game. This is a rematch of a the regular season game at Tulane which Central Florida won 38-31 in a game where they had a 17-point lead late in the third quarter and the game wasn’t as close as the final might make you believe. The Knights ran for 336 yards and dominated time of possession 35-23. Tulane is 43-21-2 ATS at home but the dog in this series has won the last four. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA!  

Kansas State vs Texas Christian 12:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Horned Frogs- This is sad for me because I believe that TCU is good enough to win the National title, I love their backs and defense. But, the odds-makers who I trust more than any wife (nah kidding) tells ‘us’ that the Horned Frogs will not make it. Now, I like Kansas State and other than last week I’ve been riding Martinez and the Wildcats and for good reason as they are 8-3 ATS this season. Number is too inviting for an undefeated team. Take KANSAS STATE!
