My NCAA picks for the week
This week I'm looking to improve on last weeks NCAA picking. So, I'll cut to the chase and get to it. Last week, I went 11-9 in picks at: http://roanoke.com/forecasters/ , hopefully I'll be slightly better this week but may be stumped by lack of knowledge where schools from Division 3 are concerned. But here we go with this weeks look:
Alabama (1) @ Duke
I can't foresee anything good for the ACC in this one...if only it was on the hardwood. The Tide should roll through Durham easily by at least 38.
Ohio @ Ohio St. (2)
Buckeyes too good in this state rivalry. Ohio State by 45.
Boise St. (3) @ Wyoming
The Broncs will buck their way to a win over the Cowboys by 23.
