2018-19 Pick 'Em Week 17

[dukedevilz]

Decent scores across the board. No one killed it - and no one tanked last week; a range of just 10 points. I originally picked MSU with a confidence level of 10, but then I reconsidered Michigan (4 points) after I thought the injury to Ward might be too much. Barf. Everyone picked Michigan to win yesterday... Quality games are somewhat limited this week, so I've decided to include a few mid-major conferences (MWC and Pac-12).

Week 17 Games:
Tuesday: Duke at Virginia Tech
Wednesday: Marquette at Villanova
Saturday: Kentucky at Tennessee
Saturday: Nevada at Utah State
Sunday: Michigan at Maryland
Sunday: Arizona State at Oregon State

Not really sure what the status of Zion or Justin Robinson is, so it seems like the Duke-VT game really could be 50-50. Utah State, just for reference, is 22-6 and #36 in the NCAA Net Rankings.

And I doubt there are even any Pac-12 fans on here that would be willing to argue against that (if we were able to find Pac-12 fans in the first place).

Looks like you omitted the Pac-12 matchup. Can't blame you too much, as that is a forgettable conference.

Thanks, well said.

I gotta pick upsets for a lot of points in order to get back in this thing.

I don't know if this is going to influence anyone's pick, but Utah State is 0-3 when I watch them play, and I fully intend to tune into the Nevada/Utah State game on Saturday.
