Little known fact about me. I think most who know my past contest story know I won the first Circa booby prize in 2020 (also finished tied 47th with my other Circa Millions entry that year), but in 2019 I was leading the Golden Nugget Ultimate Handicapping Challenge heading into the last week of selections (Team MM). Well, read the article and you can see how that played out.... reviewjournal.com/sports/betting…

Hofstra trying to run and play a fast tempo with Bama was not on the bingo card today. Hofstra up 10 in the first half got caught up with Bama's running game. Next thing you know they are down 10... Dumb.

@coach_4040 More engaged defensively in the 2nd half. Makes no sense to me why teams can't be buttoned up and take care of business for the full game when they are big favorites

@betsandreps How is that possible ?

Well Virginia looks completely disinterested today

Joshua Jefferson injury did not look good. He has a +21.8 on/off net rating difference and a +8.1 RAPM Not good if he is out for an extended period of time

@GoodJuJuBets That's what happens when you don't foul up 3

@betsandreps What a finish... Pretty bummed.

Didn't foul up 3...

@brooklynmutt I used Utah St

@betsandreps advice for a survivor pick today?

The picks I released on A Numbers Game: Virginia -18 Hofstra +12 UCF +5.5 Miami -1

@realjuicy Amazing. Glad VCU won

@betsandreps What. A. Game.

That's the ultimate choke job by UNC

And South Florida covers for most of the country. You never should have bet the closing line at +3.5

@G_M_1971 Love ya Geeee 👊 Glad we could hit that one.

@betsandreps Listened,bet,cashed Easy as 1,2,3

Sometimes the math makes me look smart. If you listened to the podcast, you know I loved this play.

@Hardpass85 Nice burner account. Fuck off.

@betsandreps I can’t believe you are whining like a little girl about games at night. Grow the fuck up

NCAA starting these stand alone games at 9:15 on the East Coast is an abomination

The bad news is that everyone's darling (including mine) USF is down 10 at the half. The good news is that they are 1-17 from 3 and Louisville is 7-17. So, if the regression monster hits in the 2nd half, they should make this a game.

TCU is ranked #223 in 3pt shooting percentage. They were 7-13 (53%) in the first half

@robpizzola I still do brackets like I was a kid. My boys love it. Big time competition in our home. It's not pretty.

Not even a huge college hoops guy anymore, but the first day of March Madness is elite. NFL Week 1 will always be #1 for me… but today is about as close as it gets.
