I stroked a 65% clip last year and plan on doing better this year. I'm very selective on my games only play 2 or 3 games on a full card and don't bet everyday just because. I won't be dialed in until 5-6 games into the year so going to be even more selective until then.
Uconn -5.5 against Maryland 220 to win 200
Maryland's starting PG has a broken foot which means Dez Wells is running the point. This should be comical. Uconn returns Napier and Boatwright. Wells averaged 2.8 TPG and he wasn't even a PG what's going to happen when he's running the point? Maryland did pick up a nice 3 ball shooter transfer from Mich Evan Smotrcyz but there isn't going to be any rhythm getting him the ball with Wells being the guy getting it there. Any pressing VCU type team is going to work the Terps over until their PG gets there. This is more a Maryland fade then anything and they are on the road.
San Diego -4 against SDSU 220 to win 200
No more Nate Walters and San Diego still has Johnny Dee, Kramer, Anderson, and Mike Davis. SDSU returns quite a bit also but no star leader Walters Johnny Dee type. They have Dykstra but that can only go so far. San Diego can stick Jito Kok on him who blocks everything in sight if things are going bad. I still think SDSU will be a decent team this year they return a lot but first game without Walters and on the road you gotta back the home team who still has their superstar Johnny Motha Fking Dee.
BOL this year boys will say this much NDSU is going to the sweet 16 this year. Return everybody basically and my main man Taylor Braun. Will take them every game don't even care. They will route everyone they play and win their conference easily. Would have made the tourny last year if they didn't play the championship game at SDSU and it was Walters senior year and they still almost won.
