No Matter

It really does not bother the Chuck that he laid a goose egg last night and dropped 990 units because he is ready to double up via the NCAA tourney. That's right, you heard it here first, the Chuck will have more than 4,000 units in his account before the end of the weekend. How, you ask? Lest we forget we have the lock of all locks tonight. But before we get to that I did lay money on the other three games.

In the early games, I like Xavier to cover the 7 points they are receiving from Pittsburgh. For some reason, I just think that Pittsburgh is getting way too much hype and they are vulnerable. As such, the Chuck put 200 units on Xavier. I like UConn to cover the 6 1/2 points they are laying against Purdue, but I did so with some hesitation. This whole NCAA recruiting violation scandal has the Chuck rather uneasy. But that being said, Thabeet is just a monster and UConn is too deep and too talented for the Boilermakers. I put 300 units on UConn.

In the matchup between Missouri and Memphis, I like Missouri to cover the 5 points they are receiving from Memphis. This is my upset special of the week. Do not be surprised if Missouri wins this game outright and while the moneyline was tempting, I just played 300 units on Missouri covering the 5.

Finally, you have Villanova and Duke. I will not bore you with the myriad of reasons of why Duke will get blown out. Just know this, Duke will pay the Chuck handsomely. I laid 800 units on Villanova to cover the spread, which is set at Nova +2 1/2. I am a bit saddened that after tonight, Duke will no longer pay the Chuck handsomely. But as they say, all good things must come to an end.
