Free Sports Betting Pick for Friday

Thursday's college football game between Arizona and Oregon is an excellent example of why there are no sure things when it comes to sports gambling. The outcome of the game was decided early on, as Oregon quarterback Dennis Dixon left the game with an injury and things went downhill for the Ducks from that point on.

In the professional ranks a team can lose a star player to an injury, but will have a capable backup, which isn't always the case in college sports. An injury to a professional player will seldom change the point spready by more than three or four points, even if it's Tom Brady who is injured, while lines will much more in the case of a college injury.

Tonight's NCAA football game between Hawaii and Nevada is an example of that, as the opening line was Hawaii - 14.5 points and is now down to 6.5 to account for the status of quarterback Brennan, who will be a game time decision. With so much uncertainty, it may be best to pass on the game entirely.

Today's free pick is in college basketball and can be found at Free Sports Betting Picks in the Sports Gambing 101 section of the site.
