Leans for Thursday:
Western Michigan +13
This team is solid, and can give Cuse some problems. 13 Points is too many for a team who has been struggling. I do think Cuse wins the games, by about 8-9, but W Michigan can keep it respectable and will do enough to cover this spread.
Pitt -6
Laying 6 with Pitt has been trouble all year, but I saw some great signs late for Pitt that show that they may be turning a corner. Colorado is a deflated team who played in a pac-12 conference full of bad teams. Pitt is a good defensive team and has some very very talented scorers who can get it done. Colorado is no slouch, but the overall short bench and lack of options will leave them in question late in this one.
UConn -5
St Joes.... is a team that I just cannot buy in to. Napier has shown that he will do whatever it takes to get this team through. UConn's role players started to find their place late in the season and I see a great spot for them in this one.
Texas ML
The longhorns and Zona State have both been roller coasters this year. Both teams have struggled away from home. I will take the team with the better coach, and more raw talent, here. Texas has some good guys down low that can work against the inside presence of Zona state. Felix will be the best player on the court and the Longhorns should win this one.
For some parlay action (A LEAN):
Ohio State ML
SD State ML
UConn ML
These are all leans. Nothing in stone yet. But, i feel good about these (eventhough they seem chalky).
Lets continue to get money.
Cheers everyone.
