Bettin' Is A Habit - Monday

We here at B.I.A.H don't fancy ourselves gamblers, but we do know a lot of people with crippling addictions to gambling. So why not help enable them, right? Semi-regularly, we will provide you a couple of picks and one lead-pipe-lock that you can take to the bank. But if you take our advice and don't win any money, you aren't allowed to come bash are knee-caps in.

Virginia Commonwealth (15-5, 7-1) at Towson (4-14, 0-8)
Towson is 0-5 in CAA play and has gotten blown out by the top teams in the league. VCU has won six in a row and has been taking care of business against the league bottom-feeders.

Pick: Virginia Commonwealth -10


Notre Dame (16-4, 5-3) at Pittsburgh (19-1, 7-0)
It's damn-near-impossible for a road team to win at the Zoo, and I don't think Notre Dame is the team to do so. The Fighting Irish have won two in a row, but all four of their losses have come away from home. In those four losses, Notre Dame has failed to score 60, and Pittsburgh is holding opposing offenses to roughly 60-ppg.

Pick: Under 136.5


Rider (13-7, 5-3) at Siena (7-11, 4-4)
Siena is struggling big time. They've got Ryan Rossiter but that's about it. Without a compliment of players to help him out, teams are able to double team him early and often and not have to worry about other players being big threats. The Saints have won four in a row at home, but will be without Clarence Jackson, who sprained his ankle against St. Peter's on Friday. I like Rider to cover in this one.

Pick: Rider -1.5


Lead Pipe Lock - Furman (14-5, 6-2) at Wofford (10-9, 7-1)
This is a big game for the SoCon South. Wofford is in first place, but Furman is just one game back. I would probably have stayed away from this game except for the fact that Wofford has been blasting quality opponents as of late. They beat the North Division leaders Chattanooga by 32 points, then beat Samford by 38. Furman is good, but if Wofford continues to play like they did the last two games, I think they will win this one soundly.

Pick: Wofford -7
