Northern Arizona Lumberjacks vs Pacific Tigers NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 11/14/24

NASCAR took the Easter weekend off, but the drivers will be back at it for the Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway on Saturday night. The Bristol dirt race was an experiment that didn’t seem to go as well as planned, so the drivers have to be excited to be going back to a standard race track.

Martinsville Speedway down in Ridgeway, Virginia is a short track, so we’ll have close, fender-rubbing racing again with what should be an exciting event.

We’ll look at the odds from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline"><strong>BetOnline Sportsbook</strong></a> and put together a card of picks.

<h3><strong><u>The Odds</u></strong></h3>
As you would expect, all the regulars that are often lined at short prices are lined at short prices this week. Martin Truex Jr. is the +500 favorite, but we’ve got six drivers priced under 8/1, at least per the odds at BetOnline.

Noticeably absent from that group is Kevin Harvick, who is priced at +1200. He has not run well this season at all and there are some major questions right now with his team. I can’t remember the last time we saw Harvick listed ninth on the board at any track.
<h3><strong><u>Martinsville</u></strong><strong><u> Speedway</u></strong></h3>
Known as the Half Mile of Mayhem, the paperclip-shaped track is .526 miles around to be exact. It is a pretty flat track where drivers really do a number on the shifter going through the 12-degree turns into the short, flat straightaways. Average speeds do well to top out at 80 on this track.

This is the first of consecutive short-track races in Virginia. We’ll have another one next week at Richmond.

<h3><strong><u>Martinsville</u></strong><strong><u> Success</u></strong></h3>
Who has run well at Martinsville? Nobody has run better than Brad Keselowski, who has averaged a top-four finish over his last 10 races at this track. The #2 car has two wins and nine top-five finishes. In each of the last 10, Keselowski has finished on the lead lap and finished in the top 10. His 433 points are the most, though Kyle Busch’s 942 laps led are the most in that span.

Busch is second with seven top-five finishes. He only has nine lead lap finishes, otherwise he’d be much closer to Keselowski in the average finish department, but he is still a clear second over the last 10 races. Busch really hasn’t run very well going on three years now, though, so even with his Martinsville success and the big price, I don’t see much reason to get excited about him.

Truex has two wins here as well in the last 10 races. His 389 points are third behind Keselowski and Busch. He won this race last June when it was moved because of the pandemic. Truex also won the fall race back in 2019.

Chase Elliott won the fall race last year. Joey Logano is the only other driver with a win here in the last 10 among those that are still active.
<h3><strong><u>Long Shots?</u></strong></h3>
I can’t see any that look like good bets. Over the last 10 races, the seven highest average finishes belong to Keselowski, Busch, Truex, Logano, Ryan Blaney, Harvick, and Elliott. Maybe gimmicky races like road courses or dirt races bring other names into play.

It feels like we’ve really settled in since Michael McDowell and Christopher Bell and those types were winning races.
<h3><strong><u>Picks</u></strong></h3>
With that in mind, there aren’t any great values this week. I’d look for Keselowski at +650 with his recent successes. He has three top-five finishes this season, so he’s had a pretty good car overall. Otherwise, you could take your pick of any of the seven short prices and have a good chance at grabbing the winner.

Coverage of the Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 will be on Saturday April 10 at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 NASCAR Betting Odds & Picks

Colorado State and Nevada flew over the total after a slow start on Friday to bring this week’s record up to a solid 4-1 on the spotlight games. We’ve got a bunch of games on the betting board for Saturday and we’ll see the start of more conference tournaments and even see some tickets punched for the Big Dance.

As always, our focus will be on a late game to give the article lots of lead time. Tonight, we’ll be focused on the quarterfinals game in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament between Appalachian State and Texas State. Texas State is -3.5 at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker"><strong>Bookmaker Sportsbook</strong></a> with a total of 122.5.

There are some unique elements to this game that we’ll talk about throughout the preview.
<h3><strong><u>Appalachian State Mountaineers</u></strong></h3>
App State went into the SBC Tournament as the #4 seed from the East Division. A 67-60 win over Little Rock sent the Mountaineers into this quarterfinal game with Texas State. One of the quirks about this conference tournament is that the games are played at two locations in Pensacola, Florida. App State was victorious last night at Pensacola State College.

The Mountaineers will play in the much larger Pensacola Bay Center in this one against the top team in the conference. App State was 12-of-30 on three-pointers last night in the smaller venue en route to that 67-60 win. This is an Appalachian State team that had lost six of its last seven in the regular season and the only win came in double overtime against Georgia Southern.

The 30 three-pointers were a lot for App State. The Mountaineers outscored Little Rock by 24 on threes and went just 10-of-23 on two-point shots. App State does shoot a lot of threes, though. Their 3P Rate of 43.7% ranks 40th nationally. They only shoot 31.7% on threes overall, so last night’s 40% was a little bit out of character for App State.

In conference play, App State was 12th in eFG% defense. The Mountaineers allowed a 52.3% eFG% en route to going 7-8. Opponents shot 52.6% on two-point shots against them. On the plus side, App State was okay at defending threes in league play and did a good job of forcing turnovers. Also on the plus side, the Mountaineers had the lowest TO% on offense at 16.3%.

<h3><strong><u>Texas</u></strong><strong><u> State</u></strong><strong><u> Bobcats</u></strong></h3>
The Bobcats could enter tonight’s game with some nerves. They’ll be starting their conference tournament run with some high expectations as the highest-rated team in the conference. They wound up as the #1 seed in the West Division, but would have been the overall #1 with a 12-3 record anyway. The offensive profile for the Bobcats is pretty interesting. They are sixth in the nation in 3P% at 39.5%, but 342nd in the nation in 3P Rate, as just 26.7% of their shots have been from beyond the arc.

In 15 league games, Texas State wound up posting the best defense in efficiency, TO%, and ORB% against. Opponents did shoot the three fairly well against them at 34.8%, but only made 47% of their two-point attempts. Texas State plays something of a higher-variance style because they also turn the ball over a lot on offense, so this could be a game in which App State gets some extra possessions.

Texas State went 8-3 in games decided by six or fewer points. The Bobcats play at one of the absolute slowest tempos in college basketball, which makes it hard to get margin in a lot of games, especially with such a low rate of three-point shots.

While the offense is pretty middle of the road, the defense is easily the best in the Sun Belt. This is the first season for head coach Terrence Johnson, who took over for Danny Kaspar, who resigned amid some concerning allegations about using racially insensitive language. It was a tough start to the season for Texas State, one that included a loss to Our Lady of the Lake, but they’ve won 12 of 15 in Sun Belt play.
<h3><strong><u>Pick &amp; Analysis</u></strong></h3>
This is going to be a much different shooting backdrop for an App State team that lives on the three-point shot offensively. Texas State has forced a lot of turnovers, so they could force App State into more than normal. On the other hand, there is a chance that App State picks up some extra possessions and if they shoot well from deep, then an upset is coming.

I’d rather take the better defensive team here in a game that will be played in a large venue that neither team is familiar with. App State did win yesterday, but had an out-of-body shooting performance and beat a Little Rock team that hasn’t been fully invested for a while now. Texas State is good at the free throw line if this game becomes a foul fest late.
<h4><strong>Pick: Texas State -3.5</strong></h4>
