We went 2-0 in College Football yesterday. The senior's at NIU will be nursing a small hang over while we will continue to cash tickets.
Today College Basketball is going as well as November NBA. We are looking at the Syracuse v Baylor CBB game and have a strong enough lean to play SYRACUSE -2.0 for half a UNIT.
NBA ( ALL HALF UNIT PLAYS )
CAV+9 / UNDER 197
WAS -3 / OVER 191
DAL -4 / OVER 207
BRK -3 / UNDER 200
NBA PLAY OF THE DAY
OKC host the San Antonio Spurs and while some are comparing the Spurs to Kansas City Chiefs a few weeks ago. We would somewhat disagree however we do believe OKC have the bigger effort on both sides of the ball tonight. Durant played fewer minutes last night in what was a look ahead to today's game against the 9-1 Spurs. Westbrook is listed as gametime decision but it looks like they were saving him for this game. If he does play it only strengthen's this PLAY.
BET ON: OKC -2.0
Take note: The above tip is simply the author’s opinion, so bet at your own risk and always bet responsibly. Happy punting!
