COACH K-4/6-PART 2

Fellas, I'm going to work into the MLB for a couple of weeks to get a better feel for things but I will pass along my opinions until then. For today I am leaning towards the Nationals +146, Mariners +125, Pirates +170, Padres -122, Astros -105 and the Rangers +115. Looks like the Rangers are a pretty popular play today so we'll see how that one turns out. Also liked a couple totals. Indians/Rangers under 10 and A's/Angels under 8.5. Remember, these are only just opinions for now.

On to the NCAA title game. We will be taking the Spartans +8 this evening. A fair amount of people will point out that the Tar Heels dominated this same Michigan St team already this year...on this same court. They are dead wrong. While the jerseys are the same and the setting is in the same spot; for starters...a pro Spartan crowd of around 65k will be in attendance this time around compared to 25k last time. Secondly, Michigan St was without Suton the first time around and we saw Marquis Gray get the start in his place. How many minutes has Gray been playing as of late? Oh about 4-5 minutes a game so far in the tourney. And finally we have Draymond Green who has been averaging about 20 mins a game as of late and only saw 6 minutes of action in the first go around. So to say this is the same Spartan team on the same court is ludicrous. This game will be tight the whole way. Both teams will go on their respective runs and look like they are the more dominant team, but with under 3 to go we will still see a 2 possession game. I see NC eeking out the victory and MSU's youth getting the best of them in the end but we'll stay under the 8 and finish off our NCAA year with a winner!

3* Sparty +8

  2. Played em even after they crapped their pants for the first 10 mins. Never thought they'd come out that nervous and tight.

    Early leans for MLB:

    Red Sox RL +130
    Brewers ML +152

    Opinions were 4-3-1 yesterday for +1.89 units

  3. Didn't find much else out there tonight. Like over 9 in the A's/Angels game.

    NBA is tough. Lines are tight. I don't have any rated plays but would go against the Lakers and Spurs. Those seem to be the 2 heaviest public bets.
