As already commented on elsewhere, that late line move in the Wisconsin game is a real bitch. But, we were already holding our ticket on the Badgers by that point, and weren't concerned enough to buy back. I guess we'll find out in the next couple of hours if that was the right move. On to the hoops:
NBA
Bucks -5.5 +104, 1 unit to win 1.04 units
Break up the Bucks! Wow, this one looks so wrong, it it must be right. The Pistons have been the most consistent team in the East for years, while the Bucks have been cellar-dwellers. Even with decent public support for the Pistons, though, the Bucks are an even bigger favorite tonight than where they started. A late Christmas gift for us, and a lump of coal for the squares.
College Basketball
Portland -2.5 +100, 1 unit to win 1 unit
False move! False move! False move! OK, got that out of my system. When that line initially went from the opener of Portland -1 down to a pick, I started to wonder if it was possible that I wasn't the super-genius I imagined myself to be. Fortunately, the line dramatically went back the other way and confirmed my geniusness (geniusity?). Wagerline favors Portland also, but it's less than 60%. Better team, on a neutral floor, we'll give a couple of points after watching that line move.
San Jose State +14.5 +100, 1 unit to win 1 unit
Nice little team, with a well balanced roster. SJ St. doesn't have quite the talent as St. Mary's, but with 14 points to play with, they should be able to hang close. Also, we've got the reverse line move here that makes us feel warm and fuzzy.
That's it. No time to look at hockey. Haven't looked at the NFL at all yet, either, and it's doubtful that we're going to get too heavily involved in Week 17. Back tomorrow.

Oh, forgot to mention: Tennessee-Martin is the pass for tonight, so like the pick I passed earlier (Florida Atlantic), it's probably an easy winner.
