The Big Fun Starts Tomorrow

But, there are still a few games that we like for Wednesday night:

NBA

Bucks +5.5 -104, 1.04 units to win 1 unit


I can't understand how the Bucks have won any games at all since losing Redd (and Bogut, to a lesser extent), but they haven't been nearly as dreadful as I thought they would be. The books are taking a stand with Milwaukee despite heavy support for the Magic. Perhaps the books are expecting a letdown in effort from Orlando after last night's big game against Lebron, and since they will be playing their 3rd game in 4 days tonight (played Utah Sunday).

College Basketball

Jacksonville +14.5 +100, 1 unit ot win 1 unit


From the NIT. I don't know much about Jacksonville, but I know these two things:

1. Despite huge public betting on the Gators, the books are not budging that line an inch so far.

2. None of the following teams were able to beat Jacksonville by 15 points this season: Baylor, Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Georgetown, Florida State.

Vermont +5.5 -102, 1.02 units to win 1 unit

From the CBI, whatever the hell that is. Another team I know almost nothing about because they didn't play a lot of lined games this year. From looking at their schedule, they took George Mason and Maryland to overtime, and defeated Delaware and Colorado. With the books dropping the line a full point over the course of the day, that's good enough for me.

Hoping to get back later tonight to post Thursday's NCAA tournament picks. Good luck everybody.
