The Oakland Golden Grizzlies are on a 4 game winning streak and they have shown a real knack for winning close games.  They have beaten Oklahoma State by 1 point, Vermont by 1 point and Rice by 3 points.  They have taken two losses on the season to West Virginia and #9 Alabama… but then how is a small Horizon league basketball program supposed to take down big guys like that?... This is a good team that is a size level below mid-major.

The Bowling Green Falcons haven’t fared as well… They are on a two-game win streak, but that only got them to .500.  They lost to #21 Ohio State which was expected, but also to WCU, Norfolk State, and Southern Utah.

Talk about consistent! Ben Burns just wrapped up a winning November. He's "produced profits in six of the past seven months." He was 83-52 last December and that included an AWESOME 37-17 (69%) COLLEGE HOOPS RECORD, good for $15K in earnings. As per usual, Ben is DOMINATING the college hardwood. He's 4-1 this week and 21-11 this season. LET'S GO!  Get Ben Burns’ picks right now at the Shop Picks page, where you can find all of the Best Bets from our champion sports handicappers.
