2014 NCAA Tournament – Play In Game Pick
Yesterday I wrote that Mount St. Mary’s was the least deserving team in the tournament but I was probably wrong because that title belongs to Cal Poly. Even in winning the Big West they finished with only a 13-19 record and they were well under .500 in their league.
2014 NCAA Tournament – Play In Game Pick
The Wolfpack got here because they have demonstrated not just an ability to beat good teams, but to do so outside their home arena.
2014 NCAA Tournament – Play In Game Pick
I want to go on record again and say that I think it is shabby that automatic qualifiers have to play in these play in games…its just not fair. That aside the Great Danes are probably happy with their draw of MSMU, a team they beat in 2010 and 2011.
San Antonio vs. Golden State Betting!

Rangers vs Caps NHL Spread/Handicapping
For the second year in a row and the third time in five seasons the New York Rangers and the Washington Capitals will go to Game 7 in a playoff series.
Leafs vs Bruins NHL Spread/Handicapping
Nobody gave the Toronto Maple Leafs much of a chance in their Eastern Conference quarter final series with the Boston Bruins but after going down 3-1 in the series, the Leafs have rattled off two straight wins to force an improbable Game 7 between the storied rivals.
San Antonio vs. Golden State Betting!
The Spurs beat the Warriors in Game 3 on the road and with the win they took back home court advantage in this series. The Warriors did not shoot the rock well in Game 3 and the big concern for them is the injury that Stephen Curry sustained in the game.
Leafs vs Bruins NHL Spread/Handicapping
The Toronto Maple Leafs take on the Boston Bruins in Game 5 Friday night down 3-1 in the series but probably deserving a better fate.
San Antonio vs. Golden State Betting!
The Warriors have looked like the better team in this series and after they won Game 2 in San Antonio they now have the home court advantage. The Warriors are a team that is playing with a ton of confidence and their rotation creates major match up problems for San Antonio.
Rangers vs Caps NHL Spread/Handicapping
The New York Rangers and the Washington Capitals have each held serve in their own building so far in their Eastern Conference quarter final series. Now the series moves back to Washington where the Rangers scored just one goal in the first two games of the series.
Caps vs Rangers NHL Spread/Handicapping
The New York Rangers return home Monday night with some work to do – down 2-0 to the Washington Capitals and struggling to find any sort of offense. The Rangers perhaps deserved a better fate in Game 2 but lost in overtime to put them in the 2-0 hole. A low scoring game is predicted once again – the teams scored a total of four goals in Game 1 and were held goal-less during regulation of Game 2.
Bruins vs Maple Leafs NHL Spread/Handicapping
The Toronto Maple Leafs have two games under their belts – playoff jitters are not an excuse anymore and if they improve in Game 3 like they for Game 2, Leafs fans could go home very, very happy Monday night.
Golden State vs. San Antonio Betting!
The Warriors pulled off the biggest upset in the first round of the playoffs beating the 3rd Denver Nuggets in 6 games and now they face the 2nd seed Spurs, who easily swept the Lakers in their first round playoff series. NBA lines have the Spurs as big 8.5-point home favorites with a total of 201.5.
Wild vs Hawks NHL Spread/Handicapping
The Chicago Blackhawks had a much more difficult time with the Minnesota Wild in Game 1 of their Western Conference quarter final than most thought – but the result was what almost everybody predicted. Minnesota played almost the perfect road game, they held one of the best offenses in the game to one goal during regulation with their backup goalie, they stayed out of the penalty box and they still lost.
