ThaKid's Picks for 2/24...

[ThaKid21]

So I've been riding somewhat of a hot streak, and once again feel good about today's card...Today I will split my picks up between NBA and NCAA because I am playing a fair amount of games...All of these I have played straight up and in parlays so I don't have a unit value for each one...If I played it I feel good about it...any insight into these picks would be appreciated... BOL everyone hopefully we can continue the success...

ThaKid - With you on LSU and BYU, and i think you were smart to buy point where you did with FSU and Nebraska. I think that Pitt will cover, but I can understand why you'd play them ML rather than lay the points at a desperate Providence team. Not crazy about Cuse [either this season or tonight], esp with the RLM, but at 3.5, it's hard to hate on that play. I'm not the guy to ask about NBA or NHL, so I'll just say BOL tonight.

Thanks Biff you too...I definitely agree with you on Syracuse because they have done me dirty several times this year... But at some point losing has got to get old... Especially when you have the talent and potential that Cuse possesses...With that said you have to get it done on the court and Syracuse just hasn't done that period...The offense is there, but some defense could do them wonders ...morale may be low but this is a great time for a breakout game against a team they SHOULD beat...Ill put my faith in them 1 more time as I believe they step up tonight and handle business...Scary though for sure

Geez.......hope the pitt money is going to be good enough?

[ThaKid21]

Wow Pitt is garbage today...they just dont like holdin that #1 spot...Happy they're only in a few small parlays...The rest are looking alright, but I was not expecting this from Pitt against an inconsistant Providence team!

ThaKid - you had your finger on the pulse with Cuse. good call.

[BLUUR05]

good job man great picks tonite hope you can continue like this tomorrow

[ThaKid21]

Wow what a day...Some crazy ish going on in college basketball the past couple of days, but still had another solid day...Cashed in a few nice parlays and my straight ups outweighed the losses...still I can't help but to be frustrated by these buzzer beater losses and #1 ranked teams losing...I'm on a good one right now also nailing my unposted picks as well with Iowa st, Missouri St. +8 (posted in a someone elses thread), Edmonton Oilers & and the over 5 1/2 in that game...Let's keep it goin another nice day in store for tomorrow...GL all and thanks for the insights
