Zack Cimini NBA Point Spread Picks & Betting Tips

Many pre-season analysts harped on the Atlantic 10 as a poor conference this season. While the teams do struggle to score they play above average defense. VCU is one of those teams that’s not going to light up the scoreboard on a nightly basis. Today they’ll face a College of Charleston team with similar makeup but a size advantage. Yet look for free throws to key an ATS decision on the Rams side and end the Cougars five game win streak. 

Transfers amongst top programs are usually skipped over as it’s such a common occurrence. Kentucky’s guard Quade Green made the announcement he will transfer after the Wildcats loss to Seton Hall. Look for his announcement and a week of rest to be a factor ATS against the Utah Utes.  Three recent losses by the Utes against Hawaii, Northwestern, and BYU by double-digits which has skewed today’s line.

The Zags tough non-conference schedule showcased they were susceptible to key runs. Lacking the full offensive repertoire has occurred for the Zags in recent games against Washington and Tennessee. Now further travel to North Carolina puts them in further jeopardy against a Tar Heels team eager to re-showcase itself. It’s last key matchup was a nationally televised 84-67 loss to Michigan. Grab North Carolina.

In their last matchup Arizona nearly pulled off a great comeback win over Alabama. They fell short to suffer their first loss against a non top-ten team this season. Saturday they’ll face a Baylor team that’s coming off it’s first road game of the season, a 71-63 loss to Wichita State. That’s presented value on a Bears team that’s at it’s lowest point in the eyes of oddsmakers in quite over seven years. 

During bowl season the Sun Belt has done an outstanding job over the years. Appalachian State has stood out from the pack thanks to their superb regular seasons. They’ll look to finish off another great year against a Middle Tennessee team that lost two of their final three games. Yet Appalachian State’s methodical offense is an issue ATS. Grab the points here on Middle Tennessee. 

Fresno State will look to finish off a solid year with a victory over a potent Arizona State offense. Arizona State is led by senior quarterback Manny Wilkins whom has done a solid job transitioning from Todd Graham. Still, ASU’s defense is going to have high problems against the Bulldogs offense. That’s where the tail end growth of ASU nixing a defensive strategy comes into play. Look for ASU to match the Bulldogs scoring and cover an aggressive line move.
