I ride Rider, Coach K denies practice after Duke blew

I have RIDER(-1)over canisius tonight.  I know more or less nothing about either of these teams, but since when it comes to NCAA hoops I am basically a one-trick pony, and my one trick is betting home teams in close matchups, this game fits the bill, perhaps better than MIAMI(+3)over duke did.  I love winning $$ betting against #1 teams, so I probably won't let that one go any time soon.

Speaking of Duke, now Coach K denies making his team practice in the middle of the night after the Hurricaines blew them off the court.  Not that I believe him.  The whole idea of running the Blue Devils into the ground all night has me fired up, and I choose to stay fired up.  Get some, Coach K!

Duke gets SMOKED

I took MIAMI(+3)over duke tonight.  Miami is ranked # 25, and if you've been paying attention, you know that right now Duke is #1.

Right now is right.  Miami was up 19-14 a few minutes ago, and now they have stretched their lead to 38-15 with a little over two minutes to go in the first half.  Brutal.  Unfortunately, Michigan may be number one when the next poll comes out.

Yesterday I almost took michigan state(+6)over WISCONSIN.  State won, 49-47.  I couldn't figure out  why Wisconsin was favored by six.  In college hoops, home court is considered to be worth four points.  State is #11, and Wisconsin is unranked.  Wisconsin just beat Indiana on the road, so maybe that's why Vegas had them two points better than State.

Miami won, 90-63.  Wow.  Apparently this was the third worst beating ever inflicted on a #1 team.  I wonder how much Duke will drop.  If Michigan State can make it through the week without losing we should be in the top 10.

I have SanFrancisco(-3.5)over Baltimore in the Super Bowl.  3.5 is the 5dimes line right now, while bovada has 'Niners by 4.

If you doubt the importance of finding the best line possible, last week I had sanfrancisco(-3.5)overATLANTA.  If you had 'Niners(-4), you settled for a push.  If you had 'Niners(-4.5) or 'Niners(-5), you lost.  I paid another 8% vig for 3.5, and in this case it was worth every penny.

Duke got smoked?  Duke got rolled up and smoked like fine Cuban tobacco.  Tobacco road took Duke down to a toilet in a locker room in Coral Gables and  flushed it.  Hopefully all the vomit made it into the bowl.

Speaking of vomit, Coach K had the team running practice from like 1:30 to 4:45 in the morning.  Or 1:15 to 4:30.  I forget which, but I remember that it worked out to 3 hours and 15 minutes.  Coach K is the best.  I may have to bet the Blue Devils in the near future.
