Not going to have time to look at all of tonight's games, so just a couple more and then done for the night, each to win 1 unit:
NBA
76ers +1.5 -102
Can't pass this one where you have 75% of wagerline on the Magic, the line going the other direction, and Philly playing at home. Considered the Bulls also, but that line has been all over the place to the point where I'm scared to get involved.
College
South Alabama +3.5 -102
Same story here with the betting and line movement. Only difference is that USA is on the road, but they're good enough to get the straight-up win anyway.
That's it. Have a good night, folks.

Late Afternoon
So far, so good. Two more, each to win 1 unit:
Temple +3 -106
Tennessee Tech +4 -107
Both of these look like coin flips. We'll take the points. Back later.

Not Much To Love So Far
After a couple of lousy days, the 3-0 Friday night results were nice to wake up to this morning. Only one for the early afternoon college games:
Cleveland State +7 -108, 1.08 units to win 1 unit
Butler has been a really public team this season, especially for a "mid-major" squad. Same story again today, but a very talented Vikings team coming to town looking to catch up a game in the Horizon conference standings.
Back later, I'm sure.

Friday Night Hoops
Been sitting in a seminar for the past 8-9 hours fighting to stay awake. Just a few for tonight:
NBA
Wizards +5 -101, 1.01 units to win 1 unit
Probably not the best idea to recommend putting hard-earned money on the train wreck of a team located in DC these days, but if the books are going to stand with the Wiz, we will also.
Nuggets +2 -101, 1.01 units to win 1 unit
I had to think almost 4 seconds before nailing this one down. There's just no good way to get away from this one. Lakers not that impressive lately, and the Nuggets appear to be somewhat healthy (that's a confident endorsement, right?).
College Basketball
Yale +3 -110 (WSEX), 1.1 units to win 1 unit
Mostly a play based on the betting and lack of line movement, but is it my imagination, or does Penn play worse at home than they do on the road? Weird.
That's it. Back in the morning.

No-Brainers?
Four for college hoops tonight:
St. Joseph's +3.5 +100, 1 unit to win 1 unit
Virginia +3.5 +100, 1 unit to win 1 unit
UAB +4 -102, 1.02 units to win 1 unit
Santa Clara +10 -110, 1.1 units to win 1 unit
Going against some popular favorites (Gonzaga, Memphis, Xavier, Miami) on the road. Probably could guessed these plays yesterday before the lines came out.
Good luck everybody.

Thursday Night Hockey
A lousy night all around last night. Hoping to turn it around today, starting with these on the ice:
Anaheim +190, 0.5 units to win 0.95 units
Atlanta +266, 0.5 units to win 1.33 units
Ottawa +162, 0.5 units to win 0.81 units
St. Louis +138, 1 unit to win 1.38 units
Back later if I have time to look at hoops.

Wednesday Night Basketball
A lot of games tonight, but not many that look interesting. The picks:
NBA
Wizards +4.5 -101, 1.01 units to win 1 unit
Knicks +2.5 +106, 1 unit to win 1.06 units
Another night, another pair of unloved home dogs.
College Basketball
William & Mary +12 -101, 1.01 units to win 1 unit
I think I've picked William & Mary 63 times this season, and I'm something in the neighborhood of 0-63 so far. So, obviously, I'm a genius for picking them again. In a low-scoring game, maybe, just maybe, the Tribe can hang around within single digits.
Arkansas +4 -104, 1.04 units to win 1 unit
Is Alabama back to being overrated again? They go back and forth so much, it's hard to keep track.
Colorado +5 +103, 1 unit to win 1.03 units
The wagerline kids love Oklahoma State, but Colorado isn't so awful at home, taking both Texas and Kansas State to overtime recently.
That's it for tonight. Good luck everybody.

Wednesday Night Hockey
I don't see myself getting away from these, so might as well put them in now. Risking half a unit on each:
Kings +170
Islanders +238
Back later.

Scoop!
I direct my fellow DC-area sports fans and/or baseball dorks (which covers 95% of our readership) to the great website firejimbowden.blogspot.com, which has posted this exciting rumor regarding its mission statement.
If this comes to pass, I wonder if the streets of D.C. will spontaneously erupt with massive celebration, just like they did on election night last fall.

Wednesday Tennis
Two for hump-day:
Dubai: I. Andreev -104 over D. Tursunov, 0.52 units to win 0.5 units
Opened as the underdog and has moved to the favorite overnight, which I always like to see. Match starting in about an hour.
Acapulco: A. Montanes -174 over D. Gimeno-Traver, 0.87 units to win 0.5 units
Definitely the better player. Match is not until late afternoon, but line moving fast and I've got a busy morning.
