    Elite 8 lines

    Houston -8 vs. Oregon State

    Baylor -7.5 vs. Arkansas

    Gonzaga -9.5 vs. USC

    Michigan -7.5 vs. UCLA


    what are your initial gut leans before any handicapping on these games?

    USC may give Zaga a little run for their money..

    Sticking with the PAC12 teams to either win and or cover. Just not wise to bet against them going forward on the spreads.

    USC, UCLA and Oregon State.

    Man, tough lines. Initial thoughts...

    Oregon State +8

    Baylor -7.5

    UCLA + 7.5

    Gonzaga -9.5 but I will probably stay away from this game.

    looks like books will need Arkansas really bad, no one's betting them at least yet

    Zags have had an incredibly easy draw so far

    Those lines all look a little wide. I haven't done much digging but on first glance I might play the dogs because I don't think we'll see the blowouts we saw the last two days in the Elite Eight.

    They are balling. Crazy but they can all play.

    I like USC too but they seem like the trendy dog. We all know how that usually goes.

    You can just about get +300 or more on all of the dogs. Bet em all and you just need 1 to breakeven. 2 wins and you rake.

    I thought about doing that but I think only 1 has a good chance to win outright. I think Michigan and Baylor have the easiest games to win.
    The Zags have the hardest opponent by far but I dont think USC can score enough and keep the pace slow enough.
    Oregon State is the most likely to win.

    So then wait for the first game to finish and then you know the result of the second game?
