I mean, I figure everyone thinks Syracuse is gonna come out strong because of how the game ended at Duke and their recent losing streak.

But I just think they aren't that good. I'm leaning towards taking the points with Maryland.

Also like Boston +3.5 in the NBA.

I don't necessarily think that it is Syracuse is not good, they are one of the Top 15 teams in the country without a doubt. They have only played 3 true road games against Top 50 teams all season, at St.Johns (5 pt Win), at Pitt (2 pt Win), and at Duke (Loss).

They can't score the basketball consistently.

I think they are good, but they can't score enough to be a 4 or 5 point road favorite against a pretty good team.

Maryland going to cover because Syracuse is legit awful offensively.

They get no easy buckets because they have no offensive threat down low. They've hit some incredible shots here in the 2nd half, and they're still going to end up with less than 60 points.

How many times can Ennis hit a difficult runner or Fair hit a really tough step back? All of their buckets come from one-on-one play from one of these two guys. If Cooney isn't hitting long jump shots, they're just plain bad on offense.

They play really good defense, but that isn't going to win in the tournament. They could lose as early as the 2nd round.

I've been mostly a lurker, in particular this thread, and I've noticed your style. You've had to have been betting for a while huh...

I went Minnesota, Dayton, Texas Tech, and Vandy. Meant to take Xavier too but my site was screwing up at the wrong time so I missed out on that win.

2-2. Also took the T'wolves in the NBA.

Literally kicking myself for missing the easy fricking Wisconsin 2H bet. Missing out on some easy money today because I'm not paying attention.

Miami-Fl +10.5
George Mason Pick
James Madison +1.5

SAS/Det Over 210 @ -118

DG, are you still playing all of yours 1H as well?

That was the only thing that saved that Clemson debacle for me last night.

As a Pels fan, idk how you don't take Dallas 1H -3.5...that just seems like free money. Dallas been rolling lately and you know Carlisle, Dirk, Vinsanity and co. have them focused.

In the NBA sometimes the most obvious plays are the worst. Not touching this game, but if I did I think Dallas full game offers better value.

Yeah you can say that again. That statement applies to NBA more than any of the other major 3 in my experience.

Edit: I like UNC in CBB tonight. If NC State was gonna win that game the line would've opened up at 3 or less. They're a one man crew.
1. Stop Warren (Tokoto on him is about as tough a guy as he'll see)
2. Score points
3. ?????
4. profit
