Oh Well

The Chucky Chill went 1-2 last night dropping 360 units to his total, which now stands at 3,060 units. My NCAA picks have been less than stellar of late and I will address this immediately. My usually reliable sources have been feeding the Chuck some erroneous information. As such, I will be more discriminating in deciding who to listen to. Although, the source who fed me Samford last night is usually spot on, so I cannot complain and ultimately, I bet the game. That being said, I still erred in taking Portland, who absolutely disintegrated in the second half against those crazy Zags. The mountain men of Utah took care of the Chuck once again, for which he is extremely grateful.

Looking to the NBA tonight, I have spotted a couple of gems that I will look to play. The first matchup is Boston at New York, with the Celtics laying 5 1/2 points. The Celtics are coming off a heartbreaking overtime loss to the hands of the Lakers and without any rest have to come to MSG to take on a scrappy Knick club. I suspect the Celtics will be a tad fatigued and will lack the energy needed to cover this number. The Chucky Chill will take the Knicks (+5) for 300 units.

The next matchup that enamors the Chucky Chill is between Memphis and the LA Clippers. Both teams are putrid this year, however, Memphis has been playing a lot better of late and OJ Mayo seems to be hitting his stride. The Clippers have a penchant for losing by double digits on the road and I do not think the streak will end here. The line is set at Memphis laying 5 1/2 points at home and the Chuck has his line set at 7. Accordingly, I will take the Grizzlies to cover the 5 1/2 points for another 300 units.

Couple of games that I am keeping my eyes on are the Denver/Washington and Utah/Sacramento matchups. If both lines are set at single digits numbers then the Chuck will be ready to pounce on the favorites. I have a sneaky suspicion that both games will be blowouts. Check back to see whether any further action is warranted. Just a friendly reminder, do no doubt the Chuck unless you want to be Bernie Madoff's personal assistant.
