Betting Advice for January 6th, 2021 (1.6.21)

Today's pick will be in NCAA basketball

Today's Pick: Virginia Tech +4.5 vs Louisville @ 6:30 EST

Units: 4 (8%)

This is an extremely good pick for numerous reasons. Virginia Tech has been on fire recently with their only loss of this season to PSU, a team that has been on the resurgence this year. They have beaten ranked teams like Villanova and Clemson who are no joke. They have also beaten Miami, a highly underrated team this year in the KemPon rankings. Keve Aluma is a star on this team and should be able to batter the defense of Louisville.

Let's talk about Louisville now. Louisville has started the season 7-1 which by all means is a good record. Louisville is renowned for having one of the best basketball programs in the nation. However, when we look deeply into their wins, none of them have been that impressive. They got battered by Wisconsin, barely beat an average Seton Hall team, beat a Kentucky team that is nowhere near as good as they have been in past years, and other insignificant teams like BC and Pittsburgh. Louisville finds themselves struggling offensively against higher ranked teams.

Although Virginia Tech is on the road in this game, I project that they will win but we will take the spread for insurance purposes.
