Great day yesterday, now we'll see if the luck goes the other way today. Hopefully, by picking 2 schools named after saints, we'll get some divine intervention:
College Basketball
UNC-Charlotte +2.5 +105, 1 unit to win 1.05 units
Huge support for the road favorite, but the line is holding pretty steady.
St. John's +10.5 -109, 1.09 units to win 1 unit
Same story as with Charlotte. The Johnnies look like a completely different team at MSG than on the road. Double-digit home dogs always picque our interest.
St. Louis +5.5 +100, 1 unit to win 1 unit
Three in a row where the line's holding steady despite solid betting numbers for their opponent.
NBA
Cavaliers -5 -105, 1.05 units to win 1 unit
I'm really excited to play the Cavs for the first and probably last time this season. Tired of the mouth-breathers getting all the Lebron fun. Big Z is back but nobody seems to be talking about it.
Timberwolves +4 -104, 1.04 units to win 1 unit
The public loves the Hornets tonight, but I wonder if they've taken the time to look and see that the Hornets are starting Ryan Bowen and Antonio Daniels. Yikes.
NHL
Nashville +150 (WSEX), 0.5 units to win 0.75 units
Line dropped overnight. Defense! (clap)(clap) Defense! (clap)(clap) Goaltending and penalty killing give the Predators a good chance to pull the upset today.
That's probably it from me today. Good luck everybody.
It should be noted that Saint Peter's (going along with the post title) was also going to be a pick today, but passed at the last minute. Of course, it covered, which proves the old gambling saying: it's always smart to pick games based on a cheesy theme. Dammit.
