March Madness free picks are one of our top specialties this time of year here at Cappers Info, and we have another great one on the NCAA Tournament schedule on Friday night. The #10 Cincinnati Bearcats and the #7 Creighton Blue Jays will meet in the Round of 64 in the Midwest Region, and we’re breaking down the NCAA basketball betting lines for the clash.

Midwest Region Picks: #10 Cincinnati Bearcats vs. #7 Creighton Blue Jays
Date: Friday, March 22nd, 2:45 ET
Midwest Region Location: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA
Cincinnati vs. Creighton Live on TV: CBS

Round of 64 Betting Lines
#10 Cincinnati Bearcats +3.5
#7 Creighton Blue Jays -3.5
Over/Under 128

The perception is most certainly there that the Blue Jays are the better of these two teams, and we just aren’t sure that that is the case. The Missouri Valley was weak this season, as demonstrated by the fact that its champ is a No. 7 seed and the only other team it got into the field is an overrated No. 9 seed. F Doug McDermott could take over the entire tournament, but he also could be in some trouble knowing that he is playing in a lousy bracket. The Blue Jays really needed to get into a draw with some teams that are going to run and gun and let them play fast. Cincinnati is going to prevent just that from happening. Truthfully, the Bearcats don’t have a choice. G Cashmere Wright, G Sean Kilpatrick, and G JaQuon Parker are all that they bring to the table offensively, and they are all streaking shooters. However, UC also ranks 24th in the land in total defense at 58.8 points per game allowed. Cincinnati has been in suspect form of late, going just 1-7 ATS in its last eight games, but we think that this is its day to get back in the saddle. If this one stays close, many think that McDermott would be the one delivering the fatal blow, but we have to remember that the three guards for the Bearcats are awfully experienced at this level, and all of them would step up and take the big shot if need be. We like the Big East reps in a mild upset on Friday.

BetGuardian

If you you’re your defense, this is going to be the game for you. The oddsmakers literally probably couldn’t come up with a small enough number for this game if they tried. The Bearcats have played to a 21-4 record for ‘under’ bettors this year, and that number was only improved upon in the second round of this tournament when they beat the Providence Friars 61-44. Cincinnati ranks 22nd in the land, allowing 58.7 points per game this year, but this time around, it is going up against a defense that is awfully comparable. The Hoyas knew that they were in trouble in the regular season when they lost F Greg Whittington, who at the time, was the second leading scorer on the team. Though F Otto Porter really stepped up his game, as did G Markel Starks, the defense is what really kept this team on track. The Hoyas allow just 56.1 points per game this year, and they have to be salivating over the fact that they have had a bunch of days off in a row, whereas Cincinnati had to play just yesterday against a sturdy Providence team. There really is no other choice to make regardless of how low this number is. This is an ‘under’ waiting to happen.

Cincinnati vs. Georgetown Pick: Under

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Wednesday night. The Cincinnati Bearcats and Providence Friars will have it the Big East Tournament Second Round, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on ESPN.

Big East Tournament Second Round Picks: Providence Friars vs. Cincinnati Bearcats
Date: Wednesday, March 13th, 12:00 ET
Location: Madison Square Garden, New York, NY
Providence vs. Cincinnati Live TV: ESPN

The second round of the Big East Tournament is when things really get going, and this is a great way to start the clashes. Cincinnati may or may not need this game to get into the NCAA Tournament, but we know that Providence needs the game for sure. The Bearcats are the better seeded team in this one, but we aren’t so sure that they are really the better team. Cincinnati just isn’t playing that well right now, as it really has only played one great game (a win against Villanova on February 12th) since the middle of January. The Friars meanwhile, are playing with their hair on fire, winning seven out of nine and really only playing one awful game in that stretch. We know that G Sean Kilpatrick is rock solid, and the defense for the Bearcats is great. However, Providence has one of the best pure shooters in the conference in G Bryce Cotton, and there are a number of other players that are just playing incredibly well on the offensive end. It wasn’t an accident that the Friars won when these two teams met back on February 6th, which signaled the beginning of their great run (and the beginning of the horrid drop for the Bearcats). This should be a game that comes right down to the wire, and if that’s going to be the case, we want the hotter team with the better shooters on our side.

Providence vs. Cincinnati Pick: Providence Friars +3.5
Big East Second Round Prediction: Providence 68 – Cincinnati 65

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Monday night. The Louisville Cardinals and Cincinnati Bearcats will have it in a nationally televised game, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on ESPN.

The big question that we are going to have for the Big Monday game in the Commonwealth is whether the Bearcats are going to be able to score any points. They aren’t even average 55 points per game over the course of their last seven games, and they are going up against a team that is allowing 54.2 points per game in its last five. The Louisville defense is one of the best in the Big East and in the entire country, and there is no doubt whatsoever that it is the team to beat in this game, and perhaps in the upcoming Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden as well. G Sean Kilpatrick has been doing what he can to keep the Bearcats above water, and he had a great game, scoring 20 points against the Connecticut Huskies over the weekend. That being said, he can’t go at this alone against a team like this. The Cardinals will just eat him alive. If there isn’t going to be some more support coming the way of Kilpatrick in this one, the Bearcats are going to get destroyed, and on Senior Night in Louisville, we’re convinced that’s exactly what is going to happen.

Cincinnati vs. Louisville Pick: Louisville Cardinals -10
Cincinnati vs. Louisville Prediction: Louisville 68 – Cincinnati 52

The Fighting Irish know that they are probably on the right side of the bubble for good for the NCAA Tournament, especially after going on the road and beating the Pitt Panthers earlier this week. Two more wins would absolutely remove all doubt, but we don’t think that there is anything more than Head Coach Mike Bray’s team has to do to dance. Cincinnati on the other hand, needs this win in a bad way. Once thought to perhaps be a No. 4 seed or so, the Bearcats have dropped four out of five, including losing an inexplicable game to the Providence Friars. There have been some close calls on the road of late, but the Selection Committee isn’t going to care that the Bearcats lost by two to Syracuse and seven in OT to UConn. Losses are losses. G Sean Kilpatrick and the gang have really been struggling now that they are playing against the best teams in the Big East, and this is going to be another one of these days where a better team simply gets the better of the Bearcats. Back the Irish at home to continue streaking towards March Madness.

Location: XL Center, Storrs, CT

BetGuardian

The Bearcats and the Huskies are becoming relatively easy to handicap from an outsider’s perspective. Cincinnati is a team that really is having a tough time beating some of the best teams in the Big East. The squad was beaten by the Georgetown Hoyas on Friday night by eight at home, and that marked the third loss over the course of the last four games. The last victory against a team that is likely to make the NCAA Tournament came back on January 19th against the Marquette Golden Eagles and the last truly signature win was way back on New Year’s Eve. The team hasn’t scored more than 68 in regulation since the game against Marquette either. Connecticut meanwhile, seems to get up for its biggest games of the year. The team knocked off the Syracuse Orange and has a ‘W’ on the road at the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, but it has losses to teams like the St. John’s Red Storm and the Villanova Wildcats as well. This is one of those in between games for both squads. The Huskies aren’t the top echelon of teams in the Big East, but they aren’t chopped liver either. Cincinnati is a bit closer to Villanova and St. John’s than Syracuse, but it is still a tourney team no less. In the end, the home court advantage in Storrs is going to go a long way in this one, and we think that the Huskies will ultimately pull out a victory.

Cincinnati vs. Connecticut Pick: Connecticut Huskies +1
Cincinnati vs. Connecticut Prediction: Connecticut 72 – Cincinnati 65

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Friday night. The Cincinnati Bearcats and Georgetown Hoyas will have it in a nationally televised game, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on ESPN.

Free College Hoops Picks: Georgetown Hoyas @ Cincinnati Bearcats
Date: Friday, February 15th, 9:00 ET
Location: Fifth Third Arena, Cincinnati, OH
Georgetown vs. Cincinnati Live TV: ESPN

The Bearcats are just 2-9 ATS this year at home, and that’s a bad omen for this one against a very good Georgetown team that is hoping to log another huge ‘W’ on the road. The Hoyas are one of the hottest teams in the land, and we are definitely going to continue backing them for as long as that stays the case, especially here in the Big East, where teams seem to get hot and cold all the time. Otto Porter and Markel Starks are turning into a great inside/outside duo. The question that we have for the Hoyas is whether they are going to be able to stick around with a three-guard lineup that the Bearcats love to use. Of course, on the other side of the court, there are going to be all sorts of matchups problems for UC as well, knowing that it is going to be undersized going against a very big and very athletic Georgetown outfit. It just isn’t a game that looks to be that pretty for the Bearcats. They aren’t going to get to 60 in this one in all likelihood, and if that turns out to be the case, the game is going to play right into the hands of the red hot Hoyas. Play the visitors on Friday night.

Georgetown vs. Cincinnati Pick: Georgetown Hoyas +4
Georgetown vs. Cincinnati Prediction: Georgetown 65 – Cincinnati 58

It’s MLK Day, and that means that we have basketball picks going all day long, including in the afternoon for the clash between the Bearcats and the Orange. Syracuse is coming off of that huge win over the Louisville Cardinals, a win that will surely catapult them into the Top 5 in the nation, while Cincinnati is rolling as well with a third straight win in Big East play against the Marquette Golden Eagles over the weekend. It’s a short turnaround for both teams, and both are coming off of tremendously emotional games. F Sean Kilpatrick is coming off of a 34-point game against Marquette, and we just don’t think that he is going to be able to duplicate that. If not for overtime and Kilpatrick’s efforts, the Bearcats would have played their fifth straight ‘under’ game to start Big East play. Syracuse has consistently held teams in the 60s or fewer, allowing no more than 68 points in any game since December 22nd. Three of the last four failed to reach the ‘total’ in this series as well. With tired legs coming off of such emotional games, this could be another one of these lazy, low scoring duels in the Big East that comes right down to the wire. We don’t trust Cincinnati quite enough yet though, so we’ll back the ‘under’ instead.

Cincinnati vs. Syracuse Pick: Under
Cincinnati vs. Syracuse Prediction: Syracuse 63 – Cincinnati 55

Two vastly overrated offensive teams are going to do battle tonight in the Queen City, and the end result probably won’t see either team beyond the mid-60s in all likelihood. The Fighting Irish are averaging 77.6 points per game this year, but they haven’t left the Joyce Center, save for a couple of neutral site games yet. This is their first test on the road, and it comes on a night where their football team is playing for the BCS National Championship, the biggest prize in collegiate sports. Meanwhile, the Bearcats have been fine defensively, but their offense has crashed back to earth over the course of the last few weeks. They only scored 52 in a loss to St. John’s, and they only put up 54 in a loss to New Mexico. In fact, the Bearcats haven’t scored more than 70 points in a game since December 15th. That’s why they’re just 2-6 for ‘over’ bettors on the year. Now factor in Cincinnati’s 20-8 record for ‘under’ bettors in its last 28 home games, and Notre Dame’s even more impressive 20-7-1 mark for ‘under’ bettors in its last 28 road games, then toss in the fact that three of the last four in the regular season in this series have failed to reach the ‘total’ as well, and the makings are ripe for a game in the 120s, not the 130s or more.

Notre Dame vs. Cincinnati Pick: Under 135

BovadaThe Cincinnati Bearcats and the Duke Blue Devils are set to kick off the 2012 Belk Bowl on Thursday 12/27, and I’m set to make my Belk Bowl pick for the affair at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC. Kickoff is set for 6:30 ET, and I’ve got the perfect NCAA football pick for the Belk Bowl.

2012 Belk Bowl
Cincinnati Bearcats (9-3, 8-3 ATS) -9.5
Duke Blue Devils (6-6, 6-6 ATS) +9.5
Over/Under 60.5

The big question that I have to ask myself in this one is whether I trust the Duke defense or the Cincinnati offense, and the way that things have been going for both of these teams, that’s not really a spot that I like to be in. On one hand, I have a Blue Devils defense that has coughed up at least 42 points in six games this year. On the other hand, I have a Bearcats offense that has been through two quarterbacks, and has scored 27 points or fewer five times on the campaign. Though that stat isn’t so bad, it is notable that UC has only scored more than 35 points in an FBS game once all year long.

I’m also really not that keen to the way that the Cincinnati offense operates itself. QB Brendon Kay isn’t particularly all that great, and he doesn’t have a receiver that has caught more than 40 passes, or that has even 600 yards. RB George Winn is clearly the star of the show, as he has 227 carries, 1,204 yards, and 12 TDs on the campaign. The good news for points is that Kay is averaging 8.5 yards per pass attempt this year, and the yards per catch averages for TE Travis Kelce and WR Kenbrell Thompkins has gone up quite a bit since Kay has taken over.

Huge 50% Sportsbook Bonus at Bovada Sportsbook

In the end, I just have to stick with my gut in this one in hopes that the Duke defense is going to come up with a few plays when push comes to shove. The Blue Devils scored 45 against the Miami Hurricanes in a game that most will point at as the reason that this one will go ‘over’ the number, but to the contrary, I’m looking at the fact that they scored an average of just 20.8 points per game prior to that point over the course of their previous five games. All of those games came against teams that either were bowl eligible this year, or would have been if not for a bowl ban. It’ll get close, but this one won’t get to the ‘total’.

To beat the Belk Bowl odds, you have to put a heck of a lot of work into the game. Our college football expert handicappers have done just that here at Cappers Info, and we think that we have the winning edge for the clash between the Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Duke Blue Devils.

Belk Bowl Picks: Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Duke Blue Devils
Date: Thursday, December 27th, 6:30 ET
Location: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, NC
Belk Bowl Betting Odds: Cincinnati -9.5
Cincinnati vs. Duke Live TV Coverage: ESPN

The Blue Devils haven’t played in a bowl game since 1995 and haven’t won a bowl game since 1960, but they are back in action in this one with the best team that Head Coach David Cutcliffe has fielded since taking over the team. Cutcliffe has done a remarkable job breeding quarterbacks in his time in Durham in spite of the fact that he really doesn’t have much in the way of resources to work with. This year, QB Sean Renfree threw for 2,755 yards and 18 TDs against eight picks, and he has two fantastic receivers in WR Jamison Crowder and WR Connor Vernon, who combined for nearly 2,000 yards and 145 receptions on the campaign.

Duke has been playing poor defense though, allowing 462.1 yards per game, and the club has allowed at least 42 points in each of its last four games this year. Of course, the Bearcats haven’t necessarily been all that much to write home about. The team has been all over the place on both sides of the ball. The offense scored just 23 against Delaware State and three against Rutgers, and that really takes away from the fact that the team put up 35 on Syracuse, 52 on Miami Ohio, etc. QB Brendon Kay has led a lousy quarterback duo this year with QB Munchie Legaux, and TE Travis Kelce leads the team in receiving with just 599 yards.

Another factor to consider for sure is the fact that the Dookies are going to be playing a de facto home game. They aren’t the better of these two teams, but they were better prepared against a significantly better conference. We do think that the Bearcats are going to find a way to win this game, but that HFA just cannot be overlooked. Would Cincinnati really be -10 in any road game this year? The team was only -5.5 at Toledo and was -8 at Temple. That definitely makes us think that the Blue Devils should be +7 or so, not +9.5. We most certainly want the points on our side.

Cincinnati vs. Duke Pick: Duke Blue Devils +9.5
Belk Bowl Score Prediction: Cincinnati 31 – Duke 24

Our official New Mexico Lobos vs. Cincinnati Bearcats pick is here at Cappers Info, as two great teams get set to square off on the college basketball odds. Join us for all of the great NCAA basketball predictions for what should be another great game on the college basketball schedule tonight!

This was supposed to be a game between a pair of undefeated teams before the Lobos muffed it all up by losing just before Christmas to the San Diego Toreros. This is a good New Mexico team that has been challenged this year by teams like the Connecticut Huskies, who probably legitimately have one of the best 30 or 40 teams in America. Cincinnati is a weak 12-0 team in our eyes. The club’s 79.8 points per game will certainly settle into the high-60s or low-70s come Big East play, and the 57.7 points per game allowed in thanks to a very weak schedule to boot. All that’s going to have to happen in this one is for G Sean Kilpatrick to have a bad shooting day from the floor, and all of a sudden, the Bearcats are going to be in some trouble. We almost feel like we owe San Diego a belated Christmas gift, because this probably would have been a four-point spread otherwise. We want the points on our side with a battle tested bunch of Lobos, even on the road in the Queen City.

New Mexico vs. Cincinnati Pick: New Mexico Lobos +7
New Mexico vs. Cincinnati Prediction: New Mexico 70 – Cincinnati 67
