Thursday night’s college hoops schedule is posted at Cappers Info, and we are taking a close look at some of the best games on the slate and making our NCAA basketball picks for the duels ahead.

College Basketball Matchup: Duke Blue Devils @ Virginia Tech Hokies
Date: Thursday, February 2nd, 7:00 ET
Location: Cassell Coliseum, Blacksburg, VA
College Basketball Odds: Duke -4
College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN, ESPN3.com

If it looks like a fish and it smells like a fish, odds have it, things are probably fishy. V-Tech needs a win like this one in the worst way to even think about getting back into the scene in the NCAA Tournament, while the Dookies have absolutely nothing to fear about much of anything. Sure, the Blue Devils are the superior team, and we hate these Hokies, but in the end, home court advantage might ultimately end up leading to an upset in what should be a very, very sharp game to play.

NCAA Basketball Pick: Virginia Tech +4

College Basketball Matchup: South Carolina Gamecocks @ Florida Gators
Date: Thursday, February 2nd, 9:00 ET
Location: O’Connell Center, Gainesville, FL
College Basketball Odds: Florida -15
College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN2, ESPN3.com

The Gators are clearly the superior team in this game, and they have the depth that is going to really press the Gamecocks. South Carolina is going to be strained just to think about sticking around in this one, and for as well as UF has played at home this year, we just don’t see any way that it even remotely struggles. This should be a 20+ point blowout.

NCAA Basketball Pick: Florida -15

College Basketball Matchup: Nebraska Cornhuskers @ Northwestern Wildcats
Date: Thursday, February 2nd, 7:00 ET
Location: Welsh Ryan Arena, Evanston, IL
College Basketball Odds: Northwestern -7
College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN2, ESPN3.com

Northwestern just hasn’t had it this year in the Big Ten, and the end result is going to likely see it stuck in the NIT once again this season. Nebraska has shown some ability over the course of the Big Ten season, and we know that it has the goods to pull off the upset. We’re not saying that that will be the case, but asking the Cats to lay a touchdown is just too tall of a task.

NCAA Basketball Pick: Nebraska +7

College Basketball Matchup: UCLA Bruins @ Washington Huskies
Date: Thursday, February 2nd, 9:00 ET
Location: Alaska Airlines Arena, Seattle, WA
College Basketball Odds: Washington -3.5
College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN, ESPN3.com

U-Dub and UCLA are two of those teams that are trying to make the Pac-12 look a bit more respectable this year. Both are failing and failing miserably, but one of these teams is definitely going to have the upper hand on the other after tonight. The Huskies are probably the more talented team, though UCLA has played some better ball of late. That being said, we’re going to take the Bruins to pull off the upset on the road to make their resume look that much sweeter come tourney time.

NCAA Basketball Pick: UCLA +3.5

College Basketball Matchup: Gonzaga Bulldogs @ BYU Cougars
Date: Thursday, February 2nd, 11:00 ET
Location: Marriott Center, Provo, UT
College Basketball Odds: BYU -3
College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN2, ESPN3.com

To say that this is a game that the Cougars have to have is a bit of an understatement. Not only would it put them in a better position in the WCC, but it would also give them a signature win on national television to help out with a potential at large bid to the dance. Gonzaga surely isn’t a lock to go dancing yet either, but this type of a victory against a fellow Top 50 RPI team would go a long way towards making sure that there is no doubt whatsoever. Still, there is a lot more on the line here for BYU, and especially after already losing at home to St. Mary’s, this is a game that it just has to have. Back the hosts in what really could be the best game of the entire night. Don’t miss out on this one.

NCAA Basketball Pick: BYU -3

On Thursday, there are a handful of games on the basketball television schedule that we have circled that should be good ones. Check out our NBA picks for Thursday!

NBA Matchup: Chicago Bulls @ New York Knicks
Date: Thursday, February 2nd, 8:00 ET
Location: Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
NBA Betting Odds: Off
NBA TV Schedule: TNT

We don’t quite have a line yet to work with in this one, but what we do have is a lot of knowledge about both of these teams. This is a brutal matchup for the Bulls, as they don’t normally run into teams that have the manpower to be able to body with them. Luol Deng might still be out of the fold, which really leaves just Joakim Noah to go up against Tyson Chandler and Carlos Boozer to match up with Amare Stoudemire. The problem comes when Carmelo Anthony starts bringing down boards as well. We know that New York is just 2-12 ATS in its last 14 home games, but we also know that this Chicago team was beaten by a Philly team last night that probably isn’t as good as the Knicks (in spite of what the records say for the two teams). Back the hosts at MSG, knowing that you are probably going to be catching points from the oddsmakers.

NBA Pick: New York Knicks

NBA Matchup: Denver Nuggets @ Los Angeles Clippers
Date: Thursday, February 2nd, 10:30 ET
Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA
NBA Betting Odds: Los Angeles -1.5
NBA TV Schedule: TNT

Two nights ago, we backed the Nuggets and ended up with some egg in our face with an overtime loss to the Grizzlies. In fairness, it was a game that Denver probably should have won, and on most nights, it probably does finish Memphis off on the road. Now, the team has to come to Staples Center on a two-game skid, the first of those two losses which came against these Clippers. The Clip Joint is coming off of a tremendously emotional win against the Jazz on the road, which was the first time that they won in Utah in nine tries. We tend to think that those emotions are going to get the most of LA in this one, as the team is going to come back home exhausted and not ready for the payback that the Nuggets are going to try to hand out. Take Denver and the points.

NBA Pick: Denver +1.5

On Wednesday, there are a handful of games on the college basketball television schedule that we have circled that should be good ones. Check out our NCAA basketball picks for Wednesday!

College Basketball Matchup: Baylor Bears @ Texas A&M Aggies
Date: Wednesday, February 1st, 9:00 ET
Location: Reed Arena, College Station, TX
College Basketball Odds: Baylor -7.5
College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN2, ESPN3.com

This Baylor team is incredibly talented, but there are going to be times that it gets picked off on the road just like all the rest of the teams in this conference. A&M is the one team that really hasn’t seemed to make its statement about getting into the NCAA Tournament, and it is running out of chances to get the job done if it is going to makes its gripe. This is the type of game that it has to win. We’re not sure that the Aggies will get the job done, but we do think that they will at least keep this one relatively close by playing stout defense.

NCAA Basketball Pick: Texas A&M +7.5

College Basketball Matchup: Connecticut Huskies @ Georgetown Hoyas
Date: Wednesday, February 1st, 7:00 ET
Location: Verizon Center, Washington DC
College Basketball Odds: Georgetown -3.5
College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN2, ESPN3.com

This just isn’t all that great of a game to watch, as the Huskies and the Hoyas are probably on the downswing in the Big East. That being said, UConn is a team that we think has been consistently overrated all season long thanks to its National Championship run a year ago, and in the end, we think that home court advantage will be enough for the Hoyas to get another win in conference play to help solidify themselves as one of the teams that is certainly already in the NCAA Tournament.

NCAA Basketball Pick: Georgetown -3.5

It’s time to tip off another great day of NBA betting action here at Cappers Info, and we are set to make our free basketball picks for some of the best games on the docket on Wednesday, 2/1/12.

NBA Matchup: Washington Wizards @ Orlando Magic
Date: Wednesday, February 1st, 7:00 ET
Location: Amway Center, Orlando, FL
NBA Betting Odds: Orlando -9.5
NBA TV Schedule: Comcast Sports, Sun Sports

Oh oddsmakers, when will you learn… Sure, we know that the Wizards are as bad as could be, but in the end, the Magic are an overrated train wreck. Dwight Howard wants out of town, Jameer Nelson is still concussed, Jason Richardson is a million years old, and the team in general is just a nightmare. Orlando has nothing going offensively, and once Howard gets into foul trouble, the team just looks lost trying to accomplish much of anything. Washington isn’t a great team, but all that it likely has to do in this one to stay inside the number is score about 75 points or so, because we just don’t see the Magic approaching 90 in this one, or all that often in the near future either.

NBA Pick: Washington +9.5

NBA Matchup: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Dallas Mavericks
Date: Wednesday, February 1st, 8:00 ET
Location: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX
NBA Betting Odds: Dallas -1.5
NBA TV Schedule: ESPN

The rematch of the Western Conference Finals from last year should once again be thrilling. The Mavs are back on track, but the Thunder are legit. They are coming off of a bad loss in Tinseltown, but whereas LA was the team that had to do some proving two nights ago, OKC is the team that has revenge on its mind right now. Don’t be shocked if the Thunder come into Big D and put a real hurt on the Mavericks.

NBA Pick: Oklahoma City +1.5

On Tuesday, there are a handful of games on the basketball television schedule that we have circled that should be good ones. Check out our NBA picks for Tuesday!

NBA Matchup: Sacramento Kings @ Golden State Warriors
Date: Tuesday, January 31st, 10:35 ET
Location: Oracle Arena, San Francisco, CA
NBA Betting Odds: Golden State -7.5
NBA TV Schedule: Comcast Sports

When we look at the Kings and the Warriors, we largely see the same two teams on the court. We see teams that don’t really play all that much defense and do a lot of running. The Kings have been dreadful on the road this year at just 2-10 SU, but we do see some hope for this one. Maybe we won’t quite get the upset, but just sticking within a half dozen or so is good enough for us.

NBA Pick: Sacramento +7.5

NBA Matchup: Denver Nuggets @ Memphis Grizzlies
Date: Tuesday, January 31st, 8:00 ET
Location: FedEx Forum, Memphis, TN
NBA Betting Odds: Denver -1.5
NBA TV Schedule: Altitude, NBA TV

This Denver team is one that we love to back this year, especially when playing against these teams that are playing back to backs. The Grizz are on a back to back tonight, and they are coming off of a brutal loss to the Spurs last night. The Nuggets had a day off yesterday, and especially if they end up getting back Ty Lawson tonight, all the better. Denver is going to get the job done on the road once again, building up this ridiculous 22-5 ATS streak on the road.

NBA Pick: Denver -1.5

Tuesday night’s college hoops schedule is posted at Cappers Info, and we are taking a close look at some of the best games on the slate and making our NCAA basketball picks for the duels ahead.

College Basketball Matchup: Michigan State Spartans @ Illinois Fighting Illini
Date: Tuesday, January 31st, 7:00 ET
Location: Assembly Hall, Champaign, IL
College Basketball Odds: Michigan State -3
College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN, ESPN3.com

It has been awhile since the Spartans have been in any real trouble in a game, but this is one of these cases where we can see some issues. Illinois has been great this year at Assembly Hall, losing just once all season. Though we know that the team has some issues, we do think that it is good enough to get the job done in this game, which is suddenly becoming important with a slew of teams sitting on or near the bubble that are trying to get into the dance.

NCAA Basketball Pick: Illinois +3

College Basketball Matchup: Clemson Tigers @ Virginia Cavaliers
Date: Tuesday, January 31st, 7:00 ET
Location: John Paul Jones Arena, Charlottesville, VA
College Basketball Odds: Virginia -8
College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN2, ESPN3.com

If you’re looking for the definition of ugly, this is going to be the game of the night for you. Clemson can’t stay out of its own way for the most part, and it is just 2-9 ATS in its last 11 games overall. Still, we think that the time is here to start fading the Cavs. They lost outright to V-Tech a week and a half ago, didn’t cover BC, and really probably should have lost at NC State. The oddsmakers are starting to catch up.

NCAA Basketball Pick: Clemson +8

College Basketball Matchup: Vanderbilt Commodores @ Arkansas Razorbacks
Date: Tuesday, January 31st, 9:00 ET
Location: Bud Walton Arena, Fayetteville, AR
College Basketball Odds: Vanderbilt -2.5
College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN, ESPN3.com

The Commodores have been a tremendous squad on the road this year, but the Hogs have been amazing at home. The end result is probably going to be a great game between two solid teams. The difference here is that Vandy knows that it is in great shape and really doesn’t get hurt all that much by a loss. Arkansas though, really needs as many wins as it can get if it wants to get into the March Madness discussions. Though the ‘Dores are the better team, we do think that the Razorbacks are going to eke out a victory.

NCAA Basketball Pick: Arkansas +2.5

It’s time to tip off another great day of NBA betting action here at Cappers Info, and we are set to make our free basketball picks for some of the best games on the docket on Monday, 1/30/12.

NBA Matchup: Chicago Bulls @ Washington Wizards
Date: Monday, January 30th, 8:00 ET
Location: Verizon Center, Washington DC
NBA Betting Odds: Chicago -9
NBA TV Schedule: NBA TV

The Bulls absolutely blasted the Wizards when these two teams met in their first go around, but there are definitely some major differences between those teams then and now. It is true that Washington has turned a corner and picked up some more offense without Flip Saunders calling the shots. However, in the end, this is still a team that isn’t all that talented. Chicago might be without Richard Hamilton and/or Luol Deng on Monday, but it won’t matter due to the fact that Derrick Rose will be back. Rose sat out of the first clash of these teams. He’ll make the difference on Monday night, as the Bulls come up with a double digit victory.

NBA Pick: Chicago -9

NBA Matchup: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Los Angeles Clippers
Date: Monday, January 30th, 10:30 ET
Location: Staples Center, Los Angeles, CA
NBA Betting Odds: Oklahoma City -2.5
NBA TV Schedule: NBA TV

The Clippers have played two great games in a row since losing to the Lakers here at Staples Center, and this is a great chance for them to get the job done against arguably the best team in the league. Perhaps in a different scheduling spot, we would think that Oklahoma City would be the pick against this short spread. However, this is the middle of an absolutely brutal stretch for the Thunder. They are hot right now, having lost just once in the last 10 games, but they are due for a bad one. Kevin Durant isn’t going to score 20+ in every single game, and Russell Westbrook isn’t going to be at his best every night either. We can’t say that this is the game that all of that will happen, but we do think that Lob City will get the job done on the national scene once again.

NBA Pick: Los Angeles +2.5

On Monday, there are a handful of games on the college basketball television schedule that we have circled that should be good ones. Check out our NCAA basketball picks for Monday!

College Basketball Matchup: Pittsburgh Panthers @ West Virginia Mountaineers
Date: Monday, January 30th, 7:00 ET
Location: WVU Arena, Morgantown, WV
College Basketball Odds: West Virginia -6.5
College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN, ESPN3.com

The time is here to judge whether we think the Panthers are back on track or not. They were once a Top 10 team in the country this year before totally falling apart right at the end of the non-conference schedule, and they clearly have a tough game in front of them after two straight home wins. West Virginia is just two days removed from a crushing loss at Syracuse, one which really could have gone its way with some good fortune. We think that the Mountaineers might have a hard time getting back on track in this one, and the Panthers might be able to spring the upset on the road.

NCAA Basketball Pick: Pittsburgh +6.5

College Basketball Matchup: Missouri Tigers @ Texas Longhorns
Date: Monday, January 30th, 9:00 ET
Location: Frank Erwin Events Center, Austin, TX
College Basketball Odds: Missouri -1
College Basketball TV Schedule: ESPN, ESPN3.com

Big Monday finishes up with a great duel between Texas & Mizzou. The Tigers are clearly the better team in this one, but with the way that there have been upsets on the road in the Big XII this year, the oddsmakers aren’t taking anything for granted. Texas has been good this year at home, as it only has one blemish on its whole schedule here. However, with a lack of wins against big time teams, we just don’t see how the Longhorns would win this game SU anywhere near half the time. It will feel like a big upset if UT gets the job done. Back the ‘Zou, even on the road to survive another potentially brutal road test in conference play.

NCAA Basketball Pick: Missouri -1

Today, our NFL expert handicappers take a stab at the Super Bowl 46 MVP odds and try to pick out a few surprises that you might not think of as potential candidates to win the MVP honors. All Super Bowl odds are available at Sportbet Sportsbook! Check out the best Super Bowl picks you’ll find on the internet!

Tom Brady, New England Patriots (+115): We’ll start with the obvious choice. Brady has been here and done that a number of times before, and even if someone like a TE Rob Gronkowski or TE Aaron Hernandez ends up having a big game as well, the nod is probably going to go to the experienced GQ cover boy. We know that Brady is going to have to throw the ball 40 times in this game, and we know that he is going to be going up against a team that has had a much maligned secondary all season long, so we completely understand why the future Hall of Famer is considered almost the odds on Super Bowl MVP odds favorite.

Eli Manning, New York Giants (+175): Again, duh. How appropriate would this story be? Baby Manning goes into the house of big brother Manning, wins his second Super Bowl, one more than big brother, and becomes the MVP of the game. It would be 100% perfection. Manning has been known for his fourth quarter comebacks ever since he was able to shock the Patriots four years ago to win the Super Bowl, and we tend to believe that Eli will at least have the opportunity to do this once again. The first time these two teams met, it was Manning that got the job done in the clutch, and when he really had a chance to have his name called, he stepped up to the plate on the road and knocked off New England. He can do it again, but his Super Bowl MVP odds are awfully short.

Brandon Jacobs, New York Giants (+6600): Jacobs might not even be the better choice of the two New York backs, as he tends to have some problems in short yardage situations even though he is certainly a bigger back than RB Ahmad Bradshaw. Still, Jacobs had 18 carries for 72 yards and a TD when these two teams met the first time around, and historically, New England has struggled against the bigger, stronger running games that tend to hit it right in the heart of the defense. Bradshaw can do it as well, but we aren’t so fond of the 33 to 1 that Bradshaw is to win the MVP award. This 66 to 1 number on Jacobs though, is a totally different story.

Danny Woodhead, New England Patriots (+8000): Just because we never really, truly know what the mastermind, Head Coach Bill Belichick is thinking… These running backs are all not very talented that the Patriots have, but for whatever reason, Belichick tends to put them in situations where they can succeed against certain teams. Woodhead is a longshot to say the least, as he might not ever get a single carry in the game… Or, he could have 25 carries and lead the team to victory… Just on the off chance that Woodhead does find himself busy near the goal line on Sunday though, we think we would be remiss if we didn’t mention him as a possibility to win the Super Bowl MVP award.

Osi Umenyiora, New York Giants (+12500): Umenyiora didn’t play in a ton of games this year, but there were few times that he stepped on the field that he didn’t make an impact. Over the course of the last four weeks, the veteran end has had 5.5 sacks and forced a fumble. Though many just assume that the team’s sack leader, DE Jason Pierre-Paul is the better choice to make if you had to go with a defensive player for the Giants, we’re not all that sure that that is a good assessment. Including the playoffs, Umenyiora has 12.5 sacks and three forced fumbles this year… and he only played in a grand total of 10 games! This is clearly the better option, again, especially since we are talking about a veteran that has already helped one team win a Super Bowl ring.

And it all comes down to this… There is just one more game to dissect this year in NFL betting action, and here at Cappers Info, we are taking aim at the Super Bowl ‘total’ odds in the clash between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants.

Super Bowl 46 Matchup: New York Giants vs. New England Patriots
Date: Sunday, February 5th, 6:30 ET
Location: Lucas Oil Field, Indianapolis, IN
Super Bowl Lines: New England -2.5
Over/Under 55
Super Bowl 46 TV Schedule: NBC

Sometimes the play that has to be made is the one that seems to be the most obvious. The ‘total’ in the Super Bowl immediately came down just a tad from the open of 56 (56.5 at some locations) due to some sharp bettors that likely remember the last time that these two teams met in the Super Bowl. There was a heck of a lot of defense in that game, and if not for 14 points scored in the final three minutes of the clash, it had the potential to be the lowest scoring Super Bowl ever.

However, these two teams were built a heck of a lot differently. This is the first time that we have had two defenses that have been this bad squaring off against one another. The Giants ranked just No. 27 in the game in total defense, while the Patriots were ranked No. 31. Both of those teams in Super Bowl 42 were able to run the football, and this was before QB Eli Manning was known as a truly elite signal caller. He definitely didn’t have a full playbook like he does now to work with, and though both RBs Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw are capable, neither one is going to do as much in this one as they did in the Super Bowl four years ago in all likelihood.

The Patriots have made a tremendous routine out of putting gobs of points on the board this year. Now, it is true that the games in which they failed to get into the 30s this year came against some of the best defenses in the league, though we also have to admit that these Giants were able to pull off the feat as well. However, look closer at that first game. The score was 0-0 at halftime. Unbelievable! There were still 44 points scored in the second half, and QB Tom Brady still threw for 342 yards and two TDs.

The Giants have played in some hardnosed playoff games this year, but this offense that they are running up against isn’t that of the Atlanta Falcons or the San Francisco 49ers. This is a lot more like the game that featured 57 points against the Green Bay Packers.

As for New England, it has just been business as usual in the playoffs. The team dropped 45 points on the Denver Broncos in its first playoff game this year, and it followed that up by scoring a very respectable 23 on the Baltimore Ravens. Of course, that was the first game that stayed ‘under’ the ‘total’ that the Patriots played since beating the Kansas City Chiefs 34-3 in the first game that QB Matt Cassel was out of the lineup for the Chiefs. In that stretch, the team has scored at least 31 points in all but one of those games.

This time around, we tend to think that there is a sense of desire there for the Brady Bunch. This is an offense that was told all season long that it was too much in a box. There are no deep threats for the unit. That being said, all that Brady and his band of receivers seem to do every single week is score 30 or more points! In the end, that will be the difference. The Patriots, come hell or high water, are going to get their points, and when they do, the Giants are going to have no choice but to keep up. This ‘total’ is just too low. Expect to see a lot more of the second half from the first time these two teams met, and nothing like the first Super Bowl meeting or the first half of the regular season duel this year.

Super Bowl ‘Total’ Prediction: New England/New York Over 55
