North Carolina Gets It Done

The North Carolina Tar Heels closed out the NCAA Tournament with another cover, making them perfect against the spread this tourney. 

With an 89-72 win over Michigan State, North Carolina covered the -7 1/2 spread and gave us our fourth straight Free NCAA Basketball Pick win. 

While our Picks didn't go perfect like UNC, we had a pretty good run this month, going 13-6 for a 68% March. 

Though the Free NCAA Basketball Picks are done for, we'll have some more Free NBA Picks in the coming days and throughout the playoffs, and, oh yes, Free MLB Picks. 

Keep checking back for more updates on all kinds of sports. 

Free National Championship Pick

After all of that, we've reached the NCAA Basketball National Championship, the conclusion to April Madness. 

Though we once again feel like a square for doing so, we will ride another favorite in our Free NCAA Basketball Picks system. 

North Carolina -7 1/2 over Michigan St. 

Yes, it's essentially a home game for Michigan State, but still. Expect to see a similar pose from Tyler Hansbrough, complete with a dejected Raymar Morgan in the background. North Carolina is just too good. 

Good luck and thanks for supporting Stock Lemon through another NCAA Tournament!

2-0 Day Yesterday!

Another good day for our Free NCAA Basketball Picks yesterday, as both of our Final Four selections covered. 

Michigan State and UConn went well over the o/u of 135 in State's 82-73 victory while North Carolina covered the -7 spread in an 83-69 victory over Villanova. 

We should have a pick on the National Championship tomorrow, so come on back!

Free Final Four Picks

The Final Four is finally here, as are a couple of Free NCAA Basketball Picks from our trusty system. 

UConn/Michigan State OVER 135

North Carolina -7 over Villanova

North Carolina shows up as a system play but we are very hesitant to play it. Villanova should be getting a little more love from the bookies, but there is still value on North Carolina.

Good luck!

That Last Pick We Promised For Today

We told you there was likely more to come with our Free NCAA Football Picks, so in addition to this and this, we're adding this one:

Michigan St. +15 1/2 over Penn St.

We weren't sure if we would include this one, even though it came up with pretty decent value in the system. Bettor's intuition or something like that. We looked over our numbers though and think this game will be closer than two touchdowns, so we'll gladly take the Spartans and the points.

This looks like our last pick for today, so you don't have to constantly check back to make sure we didn't put in a new update--but again, if you want to anyway, go right ahead.

FYI: Our system also showed some moderate value on Oklahoma -7 over Texas Tech, but we looked at those numbers and it doesn't really add up to be considered a Free NCAA Football Pick. We thought we would have more than just this one extra pick for you, but unfortunately Michigan St. is our only addition, leaving us with a five-game card today.

UPDATE: We looked at this game all afternoon, and will be playing Oklahoma -7. Hopefully you can get this before tip-off in about 20 minutes.

Good luck!

2-0 Day in NCAA Football

Our Free NCAA Football Picks have taken their lumps this season, but after a 2-1 mark last week they went 2-0 this week, putting us back on track.

Terrelle Pryor and Ohio State trampled Michigan State 45-7, ignoring what was just a -3 spread. Meanwhile, Kansas kept it close enough against Oklahoma, covering a -20 point spread with a 45-31 loss.

The 2-0 day puts our picks back at .500, and if not for one absolutely horrible week, they would be 14-9, which is 61%. Instead, they are 14-14, so you can guess how that one week went.

Here's our week-by-week record:

Week 1: 1-2

Week 2: 2-2

Week 3: 3-2

Week 4: 3-1

Week 5: 0-5 (ouch!)

Week 6: 1-1

Week 7: 2-1

Week 8: 2-0

Total: 14-14... 50%

As you see, our Free NCAA Football Picks were enjoying steady improvement up until that dreadful Week 5. In fact, we've had just two losing weeks, only one of the losing weeks was absolutely dreadful, dragging our record down. Since that week, they are back to enjoying steady improvement--and we hope that doesn't mean another 0-5 debacle is on the horizon.

We'll hopefully get back over the hump next week, so be sure to check back as we continue to make amends for our mid-season slump.

Two Afternoon Free NCAA Football Picks

We have a couple of afternoon plays in college football today involving some match-ups between ranked teams.

Ohio State -3 over Michigan State

Kansas +20 over Oklahoma

We like Chris Wells to run by the Spartans, and Kansas should at least keep it close against the Sooners.

Good luck!

Two More Sweet 16 Wagers

We're sticking with the favorites today. Our system sees a lot of value in these lines.

Texas -2 over Stanford

Memphis -4.5 over Michigan State

Good luck and enjoy the Madness!

Last Two Saturday Picks

Finally, our last two picks for Saturday's Tourney.

Pittsburgh -2 over Michigan State

Stanford -2.5 over Marquette

Good luck and enjoy another day of the tourney!

4-0 Start to the Tourney!

After a 1-0 start on Tuesday in the play-in game, we won our first three games on Thursday for an impressive 4-0 start to the NCAA Tournament!

Here's the recap from today's early action:

Kansas covered the -22.5 point spread against Portland State

Michigan State and Temple went under 136 points

Xavier covered the -7 spread against Georgia

We're off to a great start, and we hope to continue this success throughout the tourney. For those who have asked, we are playing each one of these games for one unit. It's just enough to make the games more fun and make a little money in the process!

Good luck with your brackets and enjoy the non-stop action!

Oral Roberts and an Under

Two more plays:

Oral Roberts +9 over Pittsburgh

Michigan State/Temple Under

Two more picks on their way...

Wisconsin Takes Care of Michigan St.

The Wisconsin Badgers took care of the Michigan State Spartans by a count of 57-42, easily covering the five point spread. It looks like we really have our Free NCAA Basketball Picks back to where they should be, and just in time for March Madness.

Don't forget to make Stock Lemon your home for the NCAA Basketball tournament, as we'll have a play on... Every. Single. Game.

Can't wait unitl March? Don't worry, neither can we. There will be more free picks tomorrow, so make sure to check us out. After tomorrow, there will not be any Stock Lemon Free Picks on February 29 for at least another four years.

Badgers Have Huge Value Tonight

Bo Ryan and the Badgers are one of the toughest teams at home and we have them as being a great value pick tonight.

Wisconsin Badgers -5 over the Michigan State Spartans

We have tweaked our Free NCAA Basketball Picks and thought we had a winner last night in Kentucky until they let Ole Miss close the gap at the end. Still, Kentucky was the right play last night, and we should finally get our Free NCAA Basketball Picks to where they need to be with a win by the Badgers tonight.

Good luck!
