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 Thursday night. The #14 Harvard Crimson and the #3 New Mexico Lobos will meet in the Round of 64 in the West Region, and we’re breaking down the NCAA basketball betting lines for the clash.

West Region Picks: #14 Harvard Crimson vs. #3 New Mexico Lobos
Date: Thursday, March 21st, 7:20 ET
West Region Location: Energy Solutions Arena, Salt Lake City, UT
Harvard vs. New Mexico Live on TV: TNT

Round of 64 Betting Lines
#14 Harvard Crimson +11
#3 New Mexico Lobos -11
Over/Under 125.5

The Crimson have a tremendous shooting team, but that’s about all that they can boast for. This is a team that knocked down 40.1 percent of its long range shots on the campaign, good enough to be seventh in the NCAA. It also put down 48.2 percent of its total shots from the floor. The end result though, was only 68.9 points per game in the Ivy League, one of the worst conferences in America this season. Enter: New Mexico. This is a team that we think legitimately could have, lest probably should have been a top seed in the dance. What more could you ask for out of the Lobos? They went 29-5. They played the second toughest schedule in the nation. They had the No. 2 ranked RPI in the game. They won at home. They won on the road. They won on neutral sites. The beat the snot out of New Mexico State twice, they topped Indiana State, Mercer, Connecticut, Davidson, and Valpo, all of which either were, or should have been NCAA Tournament teams. Head Coach Steve Alford knows that his club got shafted, but the opportunity is here to make amends in a hurry. The Crimson are going to get completely blown away in this game unless they can knock down a solid 50-60% of their three-point shots. New Mexico is just too athletic and too lanky to be beaten in this one as long as it plays with that chip on its shoulder that we have previously discussed. This game will essentially be covered by halftime.

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Saturday night. The New Mexico Lobos and UNLV Runnin’ Rebels will have it the MWC Tournament Finals, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on CBS.

MWC Tournament Finals Picks: UNLV Runnin’ Rebels vs. New Mexico Lobos
Date: Saturday, March 16th, 6:00 ET
Location: Thomas & Mack Center, Las Vegas, NV
UNLV vs. New Mexico Live TV: CBS

There are three conference tournament crowns that will be handed out in Las Vegas on Saturday, but this is certainly the most illustrious of the three honors. The Lobos and the Runnin’ Rebels are both certainly going to be in the Top 4 lines on the bracket this year, and they could be matched together in the West Region as well. The Lobos are going to have to get on the glass in a big time way if they are going to take down UNLV. The Rebels were able to really slow down a big-dominated set of Colorado State Rams on Friday night, and they did so by getting a great effort out of freshman F Anthony Bennett. Head Coach Steve Alford has a fantastic team, but he also has a club that really isn’t all that deep. Playing two games in two nights against San Diego State and UNLV really isn’t a recipe for success, especially knowing that this second game is a de facto road game. Put this one in the Pit, and we might have a different story on our hands. At the Thomas & Mack though, this game belongs to UNLV.

UNLV vs. New Mexico Pick: UNLV Runnin’ Rebels
MWC Finals Prediction: UNLV 68 – New Mexico 64

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

The 2012 college football season is back, 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 Saturday night, as we make our New Mexico Lobos @ Hawaii Warriors free picks and predictions for what should be a great clash on the gridiron.

Week 7 College Football Picks: New Mexico Lobos @ Hawaii Warriors
Date: Saturday, October 13th, 12:00 ET
Location: Aloha Stadium, Honolulu, HI
CFB Betting Odds: New Mexico -3
New Mexico @ Hawaii Live TV: ESPN3.com

This is clearly not one of the better games of the night, but look very, very closely at the line movement of this one at the end of the night if you’re going to bet last second, because every degenerate that lost money betting baseball or football over the course of the day is going to want to get that money back in this game. New Mexico is clearly a better team this year now that Head Coach Bob Davie has taken over, but when you look at the teams that it has beaten, there isn’t a heck of a lot of talent there. In truth, these two teams are probably just about on level terms, and coming to the Island is never an easy task. It just seems ridiculous that the Warriors are underdogs to us. They should win this game more often than not, but people are going to look at that 3-3 record for New Mexico and just assume that it is the better team… incorrectly.

New Mexico @ Hawaii Pick: Hawaii +3
New Mexico @ Hawaii Score Prediction: Hawaii 28 – New Mexico 21

Cappers Info takes a look at the ten most significant upsets in the week that was in the sports betting world…

10: Monday – Connecticut Huskies 73 – West Virginia Mountaineers 62: At the outset of the week, the Huskies had to feel like they were left for dead and headed to the NIT. But a huge win at home against West Virginia helped set the stage for their dramatic return to the bubble. It wasn't that it was an upset of epic proportions, as the hosts were only 2.5-point pups, but without that win, we're still leaving UConn outside of the NCAA Tournament.

9: Wednesday – Notre Dame Fighting Irish 68 – Pittsburgh Panthers 53: Ditto here as well. Notre Dame's win over Pittsburgh was just a tad more significantly because it came without F Luke Harangody in the lineup. The slight 1.5-point upset won't be the only time that you see the Irish on this list…

8: Saturday - New Mexico Lobos 83 – BYU Cougars 81: The Mountain West regular season title was likely decided on Saturday afternoon when the Lobos marched into Provo and secured the season sweep of the Cougars. Though it probably won't ultimately end this way, New Mexico has earned the right to be in the discussion for a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament if it can run the table and win the MWC Tournament as well. The oddsmakers were off base quite a bit in this one, as the visitors were hefty eight-point underdogs.

7: Tuesday – Phoenix Suns 104 – Oklahoma City Thunder 102: This was a significant road win for the guests, as it snapped Oklahoma City's long winning streak and moved the Suns into a lot sturdier ground for the playoff chase in the Western Conference. It was also a significant game for the psyche of F Amare Stoudemire, who went off for 30 points just a week after not being traded at the NBA trade deadline as requested.

6: Saturday - Oklahoma State Cowboys 85 – Kansas Jayhawks 77: Any time the #1 team in the land takes a tumble, it's noteworthy. But the fact that that 'W' secured up a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the Pokes, it became that much more relevant. The Cowboys really took it to the Jayhawks from wire to wire and won their biggest game of the season as 5.5-point underdogs in Stillwater.

5: Sunday - Ohio State Buckeyes 74 – Michigan State Spartans 67: It's hard to tell if this was a bigger win for Ohio State or a bigger loss for Michigan State. The Spartans have totally fallen down the brackets in recent weeks, and a home loss to the Buckeyes as short favorites didn't help matters any. It was loss #4 in their L/6 games. For the Buckeyes, they moved one step closer towards the regular season Big Ten title, and considering the fact that Purdue is now without F Robbie Hummel for the rest of the year, they could be on track for a #1 seed in the tourney as well. All it's going to take is a Big Ten Tournament title and it'll probably happen, but none of it would've been possible without the upset in East Lansing.

4: Saturday - New Jersey Nets 104 – Boston Celtics 96: Without a doubt, this is the lowest point in the season for the Celtics. Yes, the C's were playing without G Paul Pierce in the lineup, but there just isn't any excuse to lose at home to one of the worst teams in NBA history when you're as good as Boston is. The hosts have had a miserable time playing at Boston Garden all season, but not even the fans in Beantown saw this one coming. HC Doc Rivers has his work cut out for him to get the Celtics in playoff shape.

3: Saturday - Notre Dame Fighting Irish 78 – Georgetown Hoyas 64: As promised, the Irish are back for their efforts on Saturday in our nation's capitol. The Hoyas laid a total egg for the second time this year at home, and though it won't cost them a spot in the NCAA Tournament, it's going to leave them with a sour taste in their mouths and a significantly more difficult matchup. The Irish are almost certainly on the inside of the field right now, and they proved once again that they have the ability to win without Harangody. When the big man comes back, Notre Dame could be a real force to be reckoned with.

2: Friday - Dallas Mavericks 113 – Atlanta Hawks 103: For the second time in the L/2 weeks, the Mavericks traveled half way across the country and took out one of the big boys in the Eastern Conference. This was a show of grit and character for the Mavericks, who have been sending a big notice to the Lakers and Nuggets in the Western Conference of late. They're here, and they're ready to take over as the new bosses of the West with F Caron Butler, C Brendan Haywood, and G DeShawn Stevenson now in tote.

1: Sunday – United States of America 5 – Canada 3: For the Americans' sake, this will hopefully only be the second biggest upset of the Olympics. The USA dominated the Canadians from the get go, and save a few hairy moments when Team Canada staged a huge comeback in the third period, the Americans really looked to have the better side. All will be settled today in the gold medal game, where the stars and stripes will go in search of their first gold medals in hockey since the 1980 Miracle on Ice.

Cappersinfo.com begins its new weekly installment of the Top 10 Teams to bet on across all of sports that you should be betting on religiously this season.  We breakdown the top teams ATS, combine all sports, and rank them. Teams ranked by Score Coefficient Ranking (SCR), which takes the amount of money earned over the course of the season and divides it by the number of games played in relation to games that will be played. Must have 18 games played to qualify.

1: Oregon State Beavers (College Basketball) (14-5 ATS, +$850) (SCR: 34.0) The Beavers continued to roll for college basketball betting fans by taking a 63-55 SU win at Arizona on Saturday and covering ASU by the hook on Thursday.

2: Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles (College Basketball) (14-5 ATS, +$850) (SCR: 34.0) Watch out for Southern Miss! The Golden Eagles have covered eight out of nine, including roadies at UTEP, UAB, Houston, and now Tulsa. A 66-50 win against Rice was more than enough to beat the spread on Saturday.

3: North Texas Mean Green (College Basketball) (13-5-1 ATS, +$750) (SCR: 33.9) North Texas' win over Denver on Saturday helped keep its NCAA Tournament hopes alive. A 68-46 win at New Orleans on Thursday was far more impressive.

4: Syracuse Orange (College Basketball) (15-6 ATS, +$840) (SCR: 31.2) Any time you can say that you've won ten straight Big East games and are 7-3 ATS in those games, you've done something special. Syracuse gets a pass for "only" beating Connecticut by five as ten-point favorites.

5: Kansas State Wildcats (College Basketball) (13-5-1 ATS, +$750) (SCR: 30.0) KSU's romp over Colorado erased the memory of a close call against Iowa State of two weeks ago. That's four out of five for what may be the Big XII's second best squad.

6: Villanova Wildcats (College Basketball) (16-7 ATS, +$830) (SCR: 28.5) The Cats won't mind not covering Providence this week, especially after going into Morgantown and absolutely demolishing the Mountaineers.

7: Northwestern Wildcats (College Basketball) (14-6 ATS, +$740) (SCR: 28.5) A loss to Iowa midweek probably signaled the end of the season for the Wildcats. More defeats like that one will send Northwestern off of this list as well.

8: New Mexico Lobos (College Basketball) (16-7-2 ATS, +$830) (SCR: 27.6) Here's a team on the rise. The Lobos spanked UNLV midweek to assert itself as the top team in the MWC. They nearly blew it against Utah on Saturday, but a 68-65 win at least salvaged an ATS push.

9: Washington Capitals (Hockey) (33-29 ATS, +$2,000) (SCR: 24.3) The Caps slumped to three straight losses after posting 14 straight victories. Still, as long as the offense is averaging 3.9 goals per game and has scored at least three in 21 straight, the Caps are probably going to hang on to a spot on this list.

10: San Jose Sharks (Hockey) (31-31 ATS, +$1,908) (SCR: 23.3) San Jose only covered twice in this wicked five-game road trip right before the NHL's sabbatical for the Winter Olympics. The Sharks have a slew of home games coming up, and a lot of those will need to be multi-goal victories to move up on the power polls.
