Picks 2/20/12

Post write ups here for 2/20/12

Baylor has averaged 34.5 points in the first half the last 10 games and 31 the last 5

Texas has Averaged 31.5 Points in the first half their last 10 games with 33.4 the last 5

Last time they played the first half total was 67 points. (Texas 29 Baylor 38)

I will be picking the over with 2/5 confidence. (Even though the averages point to the obvious over Baylor's 1st half points has dropped the last 5 games. I don't like negative momentum)

Jeremy Lamb would have hit the over 4 out of the last 10 games.

He is averaging 6.6 points per first half the last ten games & 7.3(if you discount the one half that he did not score any)

Looking at his Away first half scoring he would have covered the over 2 time out of his 8 Away games this season. During those games his is averaging 6.74 points per first half & 6.8( if you do not count the game where he scored twice his average - 13 and the game where he scored 0)


Conclusion: Because of Jeremy Lamb's first half scoring in the past I am going to pick the under on this game. 3/5 confidence.

He will score 7 points in the first half.
