YESTERDAY: 1-2-1 (-12 units)
MARCH: 29-27-3 (+0 units)
ALL TIME: 49-45-4 (+48.3 units)

RECAP: Not a terrible day yesterday. It looked pretty bad in the beginning with both Butler and Baylor getting spanked. Thankfully Kentucky was able to pull through. Florida really should have won that game in regulation, but I will leave this alone to spare my Badger friends. On to the Elite Eight. We have a couple tough spreads tonight so we may need to get creative.

Gonzaga's defense is easily one of the best in the country. I think it will be tough for Xavier, who does have a solid offense, to score on The Zags. If Xavier can keep it close with their defense... as I believe they will, This game should end with these teams in the 60s. The one scary thing here is if Gonzaga does in fact blow out Xavier. If they do they may go over, or Xavier still won't score enough to hit 145. This is the Elite Eight, anything can happen. In most scenarios I see this game hitting the under. Go Defense!

TEASER ALERT: Xavier Musketeers at GONZAGA BULLDOGS -4.5 and Oregon Ducks at KANSAS JAYHAWKS -3.5
5:09pm and 7:49pm central
(11 units wagered, 10 units won)

My grandpa has always told me that teasers are sucker bets. He is usually right, so I try to avoid them. However, this is the Elite Eight and we are a group of degenerates after all. Anything can happen in the Madness that is March. That being said, Gonzaga and Kansas are the better teams here. The original spreads of -8.5 and -7.5 seemed a little high for a Elite Eight game.  I am much more comfortable at these lower spreads. It would be nice if we could get good odds at these spreads individually. Unfortunately we can't and will be hoping for both favorites to cover. Lets see it #1 seeds!
