We did!!!

Finally! That's not to say we didn't try and choke it away as usual, but they finally pulled one out. Virginia may not be that good at the moment but I'll take a road win against the ACC any day. The monkey is off the back !!!

This was one of my plays today, Auburn ML. I had to get the heart medication out there at the end of the game, but we cashed it!

Congratulations!

Glad they could make you some money

But man you must have giant balls to make that pick. I can't remember the last time we won a big non-conference game

Its all in the numbers. I don't even look at the team names anymore. I use the pythagorean formula, the log5 formula, adjust for strength of schedule and regional rivalries, home court advantage and see what the numbers say. If there is value in the ML I take it, if not I don't take it. I started using the team number instead of the name to make the picks so that my personal biases don't get in the way of the numbers.

I then filter by things like "Don't EVER bet against W Va at home" and come out with a final list.
