Ok here are the NCAAB Maximus 12/2 picks:

LOCKS:
TAKE MISSOURI ST. Bears -2 vs Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans. This game is scheduled to start at 8:30 P.M.EST and is being played at The Stephens Center on the campus of the Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans.
EVALUATION: Arkansas-LR comes into this game with a 3-4 SU record, and have been fortunate enough that the schedule makers put the weak teams of Oral Roberts, Cal Poly, and St. Gregory’s(not sure if college or high school) on their schedule, otherwise they would be 0-4. They have put up only an average of 65 points a game against comparable opponents, while allowing those schools to score about 83 points against them. They turn the ball over just about as many times as they assists on baskets, so this could mean trouble for the Trojans. Their FG% of 45.5 percent is pretty decent, but those weak opponents have helped that number allowing the Trojans to put up 100 points in one of those games. So their number is a bit inflated thanks to St. Gregory’s. Missouri St. on the other hand comes into this contest with a perfect 5-0 SU record, and have been playing some reasonable opponents such as the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes which they defeated by 13 and the Auburn Tigers which they topped by 11. Their 48.2% F shooting percentage will give them an advantage in this game, and they protect the ball pretty well having an average of 4 more assists per game than turnovers. We see the Bears having a pretty tight game, and pulling away for an 12 point margin tonight
PREDICTION MISSOURI ST. 78 Arkansas-Little Rock 66

TAKE BYU COUGARS +1 1/2 VS Utah St. Aggies. This game is scheduled to begin at 9PM EST, and is being played at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum on the campus of the Utah St. Aggies.
EVALUATION: Utah St. comes into the contest with a 3-2 SU record, and have covered all 3 of their wins and pushed in their one loss. They have an average shooting percentage of 46.5% and have been averaging 72 points a game, connecting on an average of 7 - 3-pointers a game. They are allowing opponents to an impressive 35.6% shooting percentage, but the talent of those opponents is just not up to the caliber of the BYU Cougars. BYU on the other hand enters tonight’s game with a perfect 5-0 record and have played very good basketball so far early in the season averaging over 86 points a game with an average connection of 8.6 3 pointers a game. One key stat we liked in this game is BYU is averaging almost 11 steals a game with the Aggies only having just over 4. We feel these extra 7 steals could lead to at least 7-10 points and that is where the value in the Cougars is. The Cougars are 5-0 ATS and SU in its last 5 road games going back to last year. These opponents have had 1 like opponent so far. They each have played IDAHO St. BYU handled them 87-53 on 11/17, and Utah St. beat them 77-44 on 11/24.
PREDICTION BYU 80 UTAH ST. 70

TAKE WASHINGTON ST. COUGARS + 12 ½ vs Gonzaga Bulldogs. This game is scheduled to begin at 9pm EST and is being played at the McCarthey Athletic Center on the campus of the Gonzaga Bulldogs.
EVALUATION: Both of these teams come into this contest off impressive Holiday weekend tournament Championships. Gonzaga won the Maui invitational and Washington St. won the Alaskan Shootout. This should be a pretty good game, where the Cougars are coming in with a score to settle after dropping back to back games to the Bulldogs in the last few years. Gonzaga torched Washington St. last year 74-52 and this is going to a motivational issue to use in tonight. The level of competition for the Bulldogs has to be an advantage here, having played the likes of Cincinnati, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Michigan St. in the last two weeks and they have posted an impressive 5-1 SU record early. Gonzaga has a issue protectecting the ball averaging 13.2 turnovers a game. Washington St. comes into this game averaging over 84 points a game and are standing at 6-0 early in this college basketball season. Ok, San Diego, Nicholls State, and Alaska-Anchorage aren’t in the same competition league as the Bulldogs opponents, but when a team is scoring points like the Cougars are that confidence should prove to be an advantage of the Bulldogs. These guys have played one like opponent in IUPU Fort Wayne. Gonzaga handled them pretty easily 90-55 and the Cougars handled them 89-70. Therefore we look for a closer game than the spread stands and would not be surprised if the Cougars can pull the UPSET in this game

I'm doing Maximus day to day as long as I win some because the package is so expensive, so we'll see how it goes. I'll post NBA when I get them. Good luck and let's all help each other out! Vegas is already making a killing so let's try to take some of that money back!
