Editor’s Note: For a little more than three years now, Joe has been publishing picks here and back at All Things NIT, our former site. Overall, the results have been positive, with an average return on investment, per pick, of 0.7% when weighting by confidence (1 for low, 2 for medium, 3 for high) across 1,980 published picks, not including bets that remain pending, like futures. 0.7% doesn’t sound amazing, but relative to what else you get on the internet?
Use these picks at your own risk. Only you are responsible for any money you lose, and you should not bet more than you can afford to lose. If you have a gambling problem, get help.
Lines for these come from the Vegas consensus or the closest approximation available at the time picks are written, unless otherwise noted. KenPom is heavily used in making college basketball picks.
Kansas @ Oklahoma
Oklahoma’s coming off two straight losses, Kansas just won an easy one. The Jayhawks shouldn’t underestimate the Sooners here, but OU’s good enough to at least put a scare in ‘em. Live betting isn’t part of our game with these picks, but if you’re into it, this is a good way to start a night with that kind of thing.
Pick: Oklahoma to win +150. Low confidence.
