We’ve got our dancing shoes on once again here at Cappers Info, and that means that it’s time for the NCAA Tournament picks to continue. Our next set of March Madness Bracket Predictions take us to the East Region, where the #10 Colorado Buffaloes and the #7 Illinois Fighting Illini meet in the Second Round.

East Region Picks: #10 Colorado Buffaloes vs. #7 Illinois Fighting Illini
Date: Friday, March 22nd, 4:40 ET
East Region Location: Frank Erwin Special Events Center, Austin, TX
Colorado vs. Illinois Live on TV: TNT

Wager Web Sportsbook

Second Round Betting Lines
#10 Colorado Buffaloes +1.5
#7 Illinois Fighting Illini -1.5
Over/Under 126.5

Every now and again, you just get a matchup that looks a little funky in the NCAA Tournament, and this is one of those games for sure. The Illini are truly overrated as a No. 7 seed in the dance. Yes, they have some scrappy guards in G Brandon Paul, G Tracy Abrams, and G DJ Richardson, but when you really look at it, none of them are great shooters, and none are particularly capable three-point shooters either. As a team, the Illini are shooting just 41.6 percent from the floor and 32.5 percent from downtown. In Big Ten play this year, Illinois was outrebounded on a night in, night out basis, and it ultimately lost a lot of games to a lot of teams that are comparable to this one that is going to be faced on Friday. Colorado has four men that average double digits in scoring, but the man that is really going to dominate in this one is F Andre Roberson. The Buffaloes’ leading rebounder is putting up more than double the boards that anyone is averaging on the Illini, and he should be in for a great day. In the end, we think that the oddsmakers and the Selection Committee got this one wrong. Colorado should be the No. 7, not the No. 10, and it should be favored by a few points, not be the short underdog.

CappersInfo is back with its Oregon Ducks vs. Colorado Buffaloes picks and predictions, as we look to give you all of the college basketball advice and tips that you need to beat your online sportsbook for this crucial Thursday night tilt.

College Basketball Picks: Oregon Ducks @ Colorado Buffaloes
Date: Thursday, March 7th, 9:00 ET
Location: Coors Events Center, Boulder, CO
Oregon vs. Colorado Live TV: ESPN2

GT Bets Banner

The Coors Events Center is going to be rocking on Thursday night, as the fans there know that a win in this game will certainly punch their ticket to the NCAA Tournament. The Buffaloes are an up and down team, and it wouldn’t truly be shocking if they won this game by 30 or lost it by 30. These last four games have been scary, as the team is 2-2 SU and 1-3 ATS in those outings, but history is definitely on Colorado’s side in these big time games. Not only do the Buffs have wins over the Arizona Wildcats at home and these Ducks on the road, but they also have a scalp against the Colorado State Rams and had Arizona dead to rights on the road to boot. Oregon hasn’t nearly been the same team since G Dominic Artis got hurt over a month ago. Granted, he is back in the fold, and the team has won five of six games, but there really haven’t been any big time games that the Ducks have had to win. The last three have all come at home, and the only win of the bunch of any legitimate note came against the Stanford Cardinal, a team that isn’t going to get into the NCAA Tournament. Colorado isn’t the better team in this game, but home court advantage, as always, is key in conference play. Back the Buffs in what should be a great game on Thursday night.

Oregon vs. Colorado Pick: Colorado Buffaloes -3
Oregon vs. Colorado Prediction: Colorado 69 – Oregon 63

CappersInfo is back with its Colorado Buffaloes vs. Kansas Jayhawks picks and predictions, as we look to give you all of the college basketball advice and tips that you need to beat your online sportsbook for this crucial Saturday night tilt.

College Basketball Picks: Colorado Buffaloes @ Kansas Jayhawks
Date: Saturday, December 8th, 2:00 ET
Location: Phog Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence, KS
Colorado vs. Kansas Live TV: ESPN2

GT Bets Banner

The Buffs and Jayhawks know all about one another, as they shared the Big XII together for years before Colorado off and went to the Pac-12 for this year. The rivalry is continuing, but now, it’s a non-conference game. This is a very talented Colorado club that brings back a lot of talent from last year’s team. F Andre Roberson is a double-double man this year at 12.0 points and 11.5 boards per game, and his talents and abilities on the court are out of this world. G Spencer Dinwiddie is also a superior talent, and he’s a five-tool guy as well, averaging 17.8 points, 4.8 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 0.8 steals per night. Kansas returns C Jeff Withey, who played well last year in three games against the Buffaloes. He is also a double-double type of player, though he is only averaging 8.1 boards per game this year. In the end, Kansas struggled with Colorado at times, winning by four on the road and seven in the Big XII Tournament when these two met up. The Buffaloes aren’t going to be intimated to go into the Phog, and though they won’t win this game, they could push a Top 10 team in the land.

Colorado vs. Kansas Pick: Colorado Buffaloes
Colorado vs. Kansas Prediction: Kansas 77 – Colorado 74

Of all of the games on the Saturday 10/27 college football betting schedule, one of my favorite is the clash between the Colorado Buffaloes and the Oregon Ducks. Join me for my Week 9 tips for this 3:00 p.m. ET kickoff that can be seen on the Pac-12 Network.

Colorado Buffaloes (1-6, 1-6 ATS) +46
#4 Oregon Ducks (7-0, 3-4 ATS) -46
Over/Under 68.5

Before I even bother to get started with this pick, it is clear that the Buffaloes are terrible. I know it, and I don’t want to hear it. However, there is a point that every team becomes able to be backed on the college football point spreads, and this is the time that that is going to happen.

Last week, college football expert handicappers from all over the nation were taking the 39.5 points that the oddsmakers were giving them on the CFB odds against the USC Trojans. Everyone got burned in the form of a 50-6 loss for Colorado. The game was never really all that close, as it was 19-0 just six minutes into the game, and the cover was pretty much not in doubt after QB Max Wittek came in and threw a touchdown pass to WR DJ Morgan with 11:11 left in the game.

Now though, the betting public watched as Oregon dropped 43 points on the Arizona State Sun Devils last week in the first half, and the assumption is there that that is going to be what happens once again. However, we have to remember that these Ducks often get disinterested in games, especially when they are no longer in doubt. That’s why I think that the Buffs are going to be able to keep this game within that 46 for the entire distance, and even if they do fall behind 35-0 at halftime or something like that, it should really only take a max of 10 points to be able to stick inside of this number.

Colorado @ Oregon Tips: Colorado +46

The 2012 college football season continues this week, and here at Cappers Info, we’ll be looking at some of the best games on the docket each and every week, as we try to make the most money possible off of the CFB odds for the week. Join us on Thursday, as we make our Arizona State Sun Devils @ Colorado Buffaloes free picks and predictions for what should be a great clash on the gridiron.

Week 7 College Football Picks: Arizona State Sun Devils @ Colorado Buffaloes
Date: Thursday, October 11th, 9:00 ET
Location: Folsom Field, Boulder, CO
CFB Betting Odds: Arizona State -23
Arizona State vs. Colorado Live TV: ESPN

The Pac-12 has been a haven this year for road teams that have really just not done so well. Of course, one of the teams that hasn’t done well regardless of what field they have been playing on is Colorado, which really feels like it should be relegated to the WAC here in the near future. The Buffs are terrible. They really are. However, they’re getting a heck of a lot of points in this one, and the Sun Devils are going to have all of the action on their side because they’re perceived to be a significantly better team. Ok, they are a significantly better team. Still, it doesn’t seem right to be laying quite this much in a Pac-12 game, knowing that this is going to basically be the Super Bowl to the Buffs. Remember that it is a week that involved a lot of travel for Arizona State, and it might show in some sloppy play.

Arizona State @ Colorado Pick: Colorado +23
Arizona State @ Colorado Score Prediction: Arizona State 34 – Colorado 24

Matchup: Louisville Cardinals at Rutgers Scarlett Knights
Date: Friday, November 26th, 11:00 ET
Location: Rutgers Stadium, Piscataway, NJ
Game Line: Louisville -3.5
Over/Under 48

Two teams fighting for bowl eligibility square off Friday morning in Piscataway when the 5-6 Louisville Cardinals take on the 4-6 Scarlett Knights. First-year HC Charlie Strong has rejuvenated a Louisville program that was moribund under Steve Kragthorpe, although the record may not not say as much. Of Louisville's six losses, only one has been by more than one score and the Cardinals have been giving teams a game effort. On Saturday, the Cardinals played a slugfest of a game against Big East Rival West Virginia, giving the Mountaineers all they could handle in a 17-10 loss. Louisville's defense held West Virginia to just 261 total yards and sensational RB Noel Devine to only manage 58 yards on the day. QB Justin Burke got the start in place of the injured Adam Froman and had trouble moving the ball, completing just 50% of his passes 145 yards and an interception on the afternoon. Froman looks like he will get the start on Friday, but don't be surprised if Burke is the quarterback. Meanwhile, Rutgers continues to struggle, having lost four straight with only one conference win on their resume. Against Cincinnati, the story was the Scarlett Knights' inability to stop Cincinnati's offense through the duration of game. The Bearcats racked up an incredible 661 total yards on HQ Greg Schiano's squad in their 68-39 route of the Scarlett Knights. QB Chas Dodd had one of his best days on offense for the Scarlett Knights, completing 19 of 20 passes for 335 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in the loss. WR Mark Harrison was the primary target of Dodd and had the game of a lifetime for Rutgers, catching 10 passes for 240 yards and four touchdowns on the afternoon.

Matchup: West Virginia Mountaineers @ Pittsburgh Panthers
Date: Friday, November 26th, 12:00 ET
Location: Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, PA
Game Line: Pittsburgh -3
Over/Under 39

The Backyard Brawl will go a long way in determining the Big East title on Friday afternoon when 6-4 Pittsburgh Panthers host the 7-3 West Virginia Mountaineers. On Saturday, Pittsburgh gutted out a tough 17-10 road win over the South Florida Bulls. QB Tino Sunseri didn't put up dazzling numbers for the Panthers, but was good enough to get Pitt the win. Sunseri completed 11 of 16 passes for 142 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' victory. RB Dion Louis also helped contribute to the win by carrying the ball 22 times for 105 yards and a touchdown. PItt's defense was once again stout, holding USF to less than 300 yards. Meanwhile, the Mountaineers scored a close victory themselves, a much needed 17-10 win over Louisville that stops WVU's recent skid. West Virginia's offense was held in check throughout the game by Louisville with QB Geno Smith only completing 9 of 20 passes for 133 yards rushing for just 20 yards on 11 carries without notching a touchdown. RB Noel Devine struggled as well, rushing for only 58 yards and touchdown on 23 carries. West Virginia's defense won them the game this afternoon, holding Louisville's offense to a scant 171 total yards.

Matchup: Auburn Tigers @ Alabama Crimson Tide
Date: Friday, November 26th, 2:30 ET
Location: Bryant Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, AL
Game Line: Alabama -4.5
Over/Under 58

The most anticipated regular season game of the year will take place Friday afternoon in the great state of Alabama when the 9-2 Alabama Crimson Tide take on the 11-0 Auburn Tigers. Although there is a whirlwind swirling around the possible ineligibility of Tigers' QB Cameron Newton, the Tigers are poised to make their first ever BCS Title Game if they can defeat arch-rival Alabama on Friday. Under the tutelage of OC Gus Malzahn, Newton has established himself as the best player in all of college football and would be the overwhelming favorite to win the Heisman Trophy if not for the eligibility concern. The last time college football betting enthusiasts saw Auburn was two weeks ago when the Tigers defeated the Georgia Bulldogs 49-31. Georgia gave Auburn all they could handle for three quarters before the tigers put them away in the fourth. Newton once again put together a fantastic game, completing 12 of 15 passes for 148 yards with two touchdowns and an interception while also carrying the ball 30 times for 151 yards and two touchdowns. Defensive guru Nick Saban will look to do what no other team has done this season in shutting down Newton. Alabama has had virtually two weeks to prepare for Auburn after walking through the motions in a 63-7 win over FCS Georgia State last Thursday night. Alabama's starters only played the first half and put up the numbers you'd expect in scoring 42 first half points. QB Greg McElroy completed 12 of 13 passes for 159 yards and two touchdowns. RB Mark Ingram carried the ball 12 times for 86 yards and a score and WR Julio Jones caught seven passes for 86 yards and two TDs in the blowout win.

Prediction: Alabama 38 – Auburn 28

Matchup: Colorado Buffaloes @ Nebraska Cornhuskers
Date: Friday, November 26th, 3:30 ET
Location: Memorial Stadium, Lincoln, NE
Game Line: Nebraska -16.5
Over/Under 50.5

The 9-2 Nebraska Cornhuskers will look to keep their hopes for a BCS at-large bid alive on Friday afternoon when they host the 5-6 Colorado Buffaloes for possibly the last time. The meeting will be bittersweet as there are no plans for the two to continue to play each other after Nebraska moves to the Big 10 next season. Nebraska will look to score a win in their last regular season Big 12 game after falling 9-6 to Texas A&M last week. The Cornhuskers have been the center of controversy during the week after reports that QB Taylor Martinez had quit the team and that DC Carl Pelini had shoved a photographer on the field after the game was over. The hopes of Nebraska's offense rest on Martinez and the status of his ankle as the offense doesn't click unless Martinez is under center. Against the Aggies last week, Martinez was banged up most of the game and put up one of his worst games of the season, completing just 11 of 17 passes for 107 yards and an interception and only managing 17 yards rushing on 11 carries. As for Colorado, the Buffaloes have won back-to-back games since the firing of former HC Dan Hawkins. Colorado got big gains from QB Cody Hawkins and RB Rodney Stewart to top Kansas State 44-36. Hawkins completed 14 or 25 passes for 202 yards and three touchdowns while Stewart rushed for 195 yards and two touchdowns while also throwing a 23 yard touchdown pass.

Matchup: Arizona Wildcats @ Oregon Ducks
Date: Friday, November 26th, 7:00 ET
Location: Autzen Stadium, Eugene, OR
Game Line: Oregon -19
Over/Under 62

The 10-0 Oregon Ducks will aim to keep their undefeated season and BCS Title Game berth alive Friday night when they host the 7-3 Arizona Wildcats. College football bettors last saw Oregon two weeks ago when the Ducks squeaked out a narrow 15-13 win over the California Golden Bears. Oregon's offense had their least effective performance of the season in Berkeley, managing just 317 total yards against Cal. QB Darrin Thomas completed 15 of 29 passes for 155 yards and a score in the win, while Heisman Trophy contender LaMichael James could only muster 102 yards on 31 touches. Oregon's previously maligned defense came up huge for the Ducks in the victory, holding Cal to just 193 total yards of offense and completely shutting down the Cal passing attack, with Cal QB Brock Mansion mustering just 69 yards passing on 10 of 28 completions. An Oregon win against Arizona also clinches the Ducks at least the Pac-10 Title and an appearance in the Rose Bowl.

Matchup: Boise State Broncos @ Nevada Wolf Pack
Date: Friday, November 26th, 10:15 ET
Location: Mackay Stadium, Reno, NV
Game Line: Boise State -14
Over/Under 67.5

With a win against the 10-1 Nevada Wolfpack on Friday night, the 10-0 Boise State Broncos will clinch the WAC Title and be one step closer to a potential BCS Title Game bid. QB Kellen Moore is a darkhorse to win the Heisman, but has put up some of the best numbers in the country despite being pulled early in many of his conference games. Last week in their 51-0 drubbing of Fresno State, Moore completed 27 of 38 passes for 333 yards and four touchdowns against one interception. Moore's favorite two target's were again the dynamic duo of WR Austin Pettis and WR Titus Young. Pettis hauled in 10 passes 93 yards and two scores on the evening while Young caught eight balls for 164 yards and two touchdowns. As for Nevada, the Wolfpack has given Boise State all it can handle in their games over the past few seasons. Nevada is led by QB Colin Kaepernick who completed 15 of 27 passes for 251 yards and two touchdowns last week against New Mexico State. Kaepernick also added 35 yards rushing and a touchdown on the day. RB Vai Taua carried the ball 22 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns and also caught a 79 yard touchdown pass in the 52-6 victory over the Aggies.

Here at Cappers Info, we are taking a weekly look at the teams that could be ones ripe to pull off some major upsets! Check out the potentially ugly dogs that could come up and bite you in the butt in you aren't careful for the Week 6 of college football betting action!

Underdog Pick #1: Florida State Seminoles (OTB at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Miami Hurricanes, Saturday, 8:00 ET: When this game opened up earlier in the week, Florida State was a 6.5 point underdog. There are still some outlets that have this game on the board, but right now, QB Jacory Harris is up in the air with a shoulder injury, and if he can't play, this line will move dramatically. We're sort of opening that Harris does play, giving us a more favorable line. The Seminoles are absolutely legit this year, and they have proved it in ACC play by blowing away both Virginia and Wake Forest. This would be the biggest win in the Jimbo Fisher era, one that badly needs to get off the ground in a hurry to live up to expectations. The Canes have been very, very impressive during this rough stretch of games, and though they aren't usually candidates to end up losing their second home game of the season, Florida State provides a significantly different challenge. The garnet and gold remember that loss suffered last year at Doak Campbell Stadium. Payback could be a you know what on Saturday night.

Underdog Pick #2: Colorado Buffaloes (+400 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Missouri Tigers, Saturday 7:00 ET: Now we'll get the chance to see whether the Buffs are real or not. HC Dan Hawkins knows that he needs to string together at least four wins in conference play this year, and this very much so a winnable fixture that could make the Big XII North race very, very interesting. Though we know that the Tigers are still undefeated and ranked, we aren't so sure that they belong there. The schedule hasn't been particularly difficult, and though there have been a few stingy teams show up, none are probably as strong as Colorado really is. If the Buffaloes hold onto the football, this is a very, very winnable game, and we'll take our chances that it will happen at least one out of five times for us to break even. Here's to QB Blaine Gabbert not choosing now to go off on one of his patented 450+ yard passing tirades.

Underdog Pick #3: Pittsburgh Panthers (+200 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Saturday, 3:30 ET: If the Panthers are legitimate contenders in the Big East this year, they certainly are underrated in this game by the oddsmakers. The more we watch Notre Dame, the more we aren't so sure of their abilities. Yes, they notched another cover last week by beating Boston College, but who doesn't beat the Eagles nowadays? U-Pitt is still feeling the effects of that beat down suffered at the hands of the Hurricanes, but in "The U" is that good, losses to Miami and Utah shouldn't cause you to shy away. QB Tino Sunseri has to be getting better just by experience, and if RB Dion Lewis comes back into the lineup, it will make the offense just that much better. Don't be overly shocked to see the Panthers come out and take care of the Golden Domers with ease, especially if that front four can really put pressure on QB Dayne Crist in the pocket.

Underdog Pick #4: USC Trojans (+300 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ Stanford Cardinal, Saturday, 8:00 ET: Losing last week to the Washington Huskies will clearly do one of two things for the Trojans. They'll either wake up and remember that they still have over half of a season to play, or they'll fold up shop remembering that they don't have a bowl game to go chase after. We know that this team is good enough to win this game, just as Stanford was good enough to win back in LA last year. However, that victory could be a cause for concern for HC Jim Harbaugh's crew. The Men of Troy aren't usually ones to forget about defeats easily, though things are clearly different this year. We have to remember the psyche of the Cardinal as well. Just how well will they bounce back after they not only blew a 21-3 lead against the Oregon Ducks last week, but were ultimately obliterated? We'll take our chances that the upset very well could be in the cards, knowing that the Trojans could legitimately get their doors blown off as well.

Here at Cappers Info, we are taking a weekly look at the teams that could be ones ripe to pull off some major upsets! Check out the potentially ugly dogs that could come up and bite you in the butt in you aren't careful for the Week 5 of college football betting action!

Eastern Michigan Eagles (+650 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Ohio Bobcats, Saturday, 12:00 ET: The Eagles haven't won a game in 16 tries, so what makes us think that today is the day that all of a sudden that losing streak will be broken? This an Ohio team that has played incredibly poorly this year. Against FBS foes, they have been outscored by the aggregate score of 87-43, and they are just 1-2 ATS to show for three losses. The defense has been acceptable, at least against modest opponents not named Ohio State, but the offense has been putrid, averaging just over 250 yards per game. Yes, you can say that EMU was beaten 73-20 by those same Buckeyes last week, but we are far more focused on the 20 than the 73. The Eagles didn't score any garbage points, and they were the first team to really do some legitimate damage to this OSU 'D'. The play of QB Alex Gillett this year has been good enough for Eastern Michigan to get into the win column at some point, and this seems like the perfect day for that job to get done.

Colorado Buffaloes (+160 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Georgia Bulldogs, Saturday, 7:00 ET: Are the oddsmakers putting too much stock in the fact that the Bulldogs are in the SEC as opposed to Colorado being in the Big XII, or do they really believe that WR AJ Green is going to make that much of a difference to the UGA offense? Neither of these teams are all that good, and yes, we understand that the Bulldogs are in dire need of a win to help take HC Mark Richt off of the hot seat, but there's something about the way the Buffs are playing right now that encourages us. Also, save for a stretch of about ten minutes against the Arkansas Razorbacks, Georgia has had absolutely no luck trying to find the end zone. Granted, we know that that may change with Green suiting once again, but perhaps QB Aaron Murray and his offense just aren't that good. QB Tyler Hansen looks at least remotely competent for the first time in his career, completing 63.5 percent of his passes for 558 yards with four scores and four picks, and if he can put together a remotely reasonable games, the Buffs might be on their way to some big things this weekend.

Texas Longhorns (+160 at Diamond Sportsbook) vs. Oklahoma Sooners, Saturday, 3:30 ET: Perception is everything. The perception is as bad as it can get right now on a Texas team that put forth perhaps its worst game in years last week against the UCLA Bruins. That being said, we tend to believe that the Longhorns were overrated coming into the season, but they are clearly being undervalued right now. Oklahoma seems to be getting a bit of a pass in spite of the fact that it could just as easily be 1-3 right now as it is 4-0. If that were the case, the Sooners would be dogs by at least a TD in this game. They're still the same two teams on the field. Whereas Oklahoma has yet to really get its firm wakeup call this year, the 'Horns just had theirs. Don't be shocked if the burnt orange come out and give good ol' OU a beat down that will serve as a good lesson to the Sooners for the rest of the season.

Tennessee Volunteers (+700 at Diamond Sportsbook) @ LSU Tigers, Saturday, 3:30 ET: Don't kid yourself… This is a game that is winnable for the Vols. Last week, we picked against LSU and nearly turned up roses at a huge price with the West Virginia Mountaineers, and we tend to believe that it's only a matter of time before someone picks off HC Les Miles' club. The UT defense might be the best that the Tigers have seen all season long to date, which is saying something considering the fact that WVU was in town last weekend. If this holds true, this could be a game that is changed by one game breaking moment. QB Matt Simms has proven to be competent this year, and if he can just find a way to be reasonable and not turn the ball over a lot, the Volunteers could escape the Tigers' lair with a much needed 'W' for the coaching well being of HC Derek Dooley.
