Today's Picks

First post of many throughout March Madness to leave everyone with some easy wins and potential longshots against Vegas.

The Fix is in....
on Richmond (+3) over Vandy today. Richmond is coming too hot and their rebounding will provide enough second chance point to pull out the W. Richmond led the conference in offensive and defensive field goal percentage as well as 3-point percentage. They are led by 2 senior first-team all-conference selections, forward Justin Harper and guard Kevin Anderson.

Missouri (+1) over Cinci. Missouri has a well balanced offense with five players, including four juniors, averaging double-digit scoring. Guard Marcus Denmon has led the way with 17.1 points per game. They are primed to make a run in the tourney and against an unimpressive Cinci team i think they pull it out.

Louisville (-10) over Morehead State. Louisville has the talent to make a run and give a very talented Kansas team a run for their money in a potential sweet 16 matchup. They are fast and force many turnovers. Predicting a blowout, Rick Pitino, enough said.

BEST BET: Though I like all these team but I'm saying best bet for the day is a 2 game teaser moving the lines to Louisville to -6 and Richmond to +7 for even odds on your money. Put 50 on it, game over.

Today's best longshot goes to Belmont over Wisconsin in a dangerous 4 vs 13 matchup. Belmont plays a style of offense that could exploit the slow methodical style of the Badgers. Belmont's risk-taking, in your face defense/offense should provide an interesting test in this trap game for the Badgers.
