Bettin' is a Habit - 2/3

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.

Loyola(IL) (13-9, 4-7) at Wright State (14-9, 7-4)
Wright State hasn't played a home game since January 16, when they defeated Butler 69-65. They've gone 2-2 on the road since then, including a loss in their most recent game, at UW-Milwaukee 54-53. But the Raiders haven't lost back-to-back games since early December and they have already beaten the Ramblers this season, doing it on the road 58-41. I like Wright State to easily cover this one.

Pick: Wright State -5.5


Denver (11-10, 7-1) at Arkansas-Little Rock (12-11, 4-4)
I certainly did not think Denver would be sitting atop the Sun Belt conference at any point this season, let alone in February. The Pioneers have a tough stretch of games coming up, but I still think that they can win this game on the road.

Pick: Denver +1


Montana (16-5, 5-1) at Weber State (10-9, 4-4)
This is an interesting match-up. Montana has won six-in-a-row, all by more than seven points, but prior to that, suffered an 18-point loss on road road to Northern Colorado in which they only scored 45-points. Weber state hasn't lost a conference game at home, and beat the same Northern Colorado team that smacked Montana, 72-71 in their last game. You may want to stay away from this one, but since I'm not actually spending any money, I'll make a pick.

Pick: Weber State +4
