NCAA March Madness Final Four Predictions: Florida, Kentucky Advance

NCAA March Madness Final Four Predictions: Florida, Kentucky

Wouldn’t it be wild if the SEC Final is a preview of the NCAA Championship? Well, the way Florida and Kentucky are both playing, that’s my prediction right now.

1. Florida vs 7. Uconn

I had Connecticut going far in the tournament – though I didn’t expect them to survive last round. They have leadership, dynamic guard play, and when it mattered most their defense stepped up big. Simply put, I don’t think they have the weapons to keep up with Florida. Florida has the same defensive tenacity, if not more, but they also have players to create their own offense. When push comes to shove, I think Florida controls this game.

Florida Advances

2. Wisconsin vs 8. Kentucky

I don’t like Kentucky. Freshman, talented as this group is, tend to be unreliable in the tournament. High pressure tends to break them down. That said, this group is coming together at the  ... 

NCAA March Madness Bracket Update: Sweet 16 Predictions

NCAA Sweet Sixteen March Madness Bracket Update

After a short break, the round of 16 has started in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. We thought it would be a good time to update our brackets. Our final four is largely in tact, and we even nailed the upset of Wichita State last round. That leaves us with teams we know very well, but a few surprises. It’s time to take another look:

11. Dayton Vs 10. Stanford

Who saw this one coming? Either way a double digit seed will make it to the next round. I’m not putting money on this one, but I have to believe Stanford has the edge. Then again, I thought that about everyone else Dayton has knocked off, after likely avoiding a play in game only because it was held in Dayton. I’m on Stanford, but with no confidence at all. Go Cinderella, go!

Stanford advances, barely.

6. Baylor vs 2. Wisconsin

We thought there  ...

What a fantastic regular season finish! Dramatic matches, bitter upsets, great wins, epic playoff run! We had all best sport emotions in just one week! Biggest winners this week are obviously British Bulldogs and Live To Win Team but also… Bumble Bees! My sincere congratulations to the conferences winners! British Bulldogs and Live to Win were attacking behind leaders back but they were very successful in the end! Incredible attack from 3rd position made especially Bulldogs! Live To Win had epic battle against Spartans, but they scored enough goals to  ... 

NBA Picks: New Orleans Pelicans at Atlanta Hawks

NBA Picks: New Orleans Pelicans +6 at Atlanta Hawks

The Pelicans aren’t a very good team on the road and the Hawks have all the momentum in the world, winning five in a row and surging deeper into the playoff picture. Still, the computer and I see some value in the points here.

After hitting our first post of the NCAA Tournament, we dance back to the comforts of the NBA. This is a bold pick too, but I think the Pelicans will give the Hawks a game here. I don’t think the Hawks have an answer for Anthony Davis  ... 

NCAA March Madness Picks: NDSU Vs Oklahoma

NCAA March Madness Picks: North Dakota State Vs Oklahoma

If you followed us this year in the VIP Club, you know that my biggest win of my professional gambling career came when Oklahoma upset Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Boomer Sooner, but my loyalties don’t cross sports. Oklahoma basketball means nothing to the Sooner faithful, and as such, it means nothing to me as a budding OU fan.

We already had our first big upset, as Ohio State fell to the much smaller, in-state “rival” Dayton. Epic as that game was, I’m still hunting for upsets. We’re looking for value in  ...

Zcode Grand Team Championship Game week 8 Results TEAM CONTEST

Emotions guaranteed to the end! Teams showed up this time a little bit shaky, it’s probably because of every small mistake may decide about final result. Thus we have amazing races in both conferences. Current situation is even more complicated than it was before this week. We still don’t know who will win and we still don’t know who will take last playoff spots! Four teams in the West Conference and two teams in East Conference still fight for conference titles! What a drama!

NBA Picks: Golden State Warriors at Portland Trailblazers

NBA Picks: Golden State Warriors at Portland Trailblazers

I appreciate that the Blazers have a pretty good team this year.  They have some superstar scorers, a streaky offense, and they were the hottest team in basketball at the start of the year.  Since they’ve come down, though, I think the Warriors are obviously the better team – particularly after the blowout win they earned the last time these two met.

The computer gives a four-star prediction on the over, expecting a high-scoring game.  This one is in played in Portland, so the Blazers do have a bit of an edge  ... 

NCAA March Madness Predictions: Who Will Win It All?

NCAA March Madness Predictions: Who Will Win It All?

It’s a little early to get excited about March Madness with so much left to be decided in conference championships, but we can’t help ourselves. Here are some preliminary thoughts about the top few teams and the keys to their success in the tournament.

1. Florida – I think Florida is the most complete team in the tournament. They have enough scoring to allow their tenacious defense to carry the load. Deep enough to run the table, they’re my favorite to win it all right now, but no teams really stand out. This tournament really is anyone’s to steal.

2. Wichita State – The likely one seed is also something of a Cinderella story form a mid-major. They’ve got a couple dynamic weapons, but like most small programs before them I think they lack the depth to truly be competitive. It would shock me if they ran the table, though they  ...

NCAA Men’s Basketball Picks: Houston at UCF

NCAA Men’s Basketball Picks: Houston Vs Central Florida

The computer has a strong signal for Houston, who is playing well lately and beating legitimate teams. However, there is a little bit of conflict in the output, so this is a low confidence pick.

UCF is spiraling a bit. They’re typically a competitive, mid-seed team but they’ve been losing lately. Their lack of momentum has the computer producing a five-star signal here despite the fact that UCF is home.

Still, with the +2 line having only a 47% chance of covering, the computer algorithm is in a bit of conflict with  ...

NBA Picks: New York Knicks at Miami Heat

NBA Picks: New York Knicks at Miami Heat

The computer gives a strong ML signal for Miami, and I agree and find some nice parlay / teaser value in this game. I don’t think the Knicks in their current state can compete with one of the best teams in basketball. It’s a shame, because Carmelo Anthony is playing some of the best basketball of his career.

That said, the computer and I also agree that nine points is a bit sharp. There’s some value on the Knicks to not get blown out. They’re talented, they just keep finding ways to lose  ... 

NCAA Men’s Basketball Picks: Syracuse at Maryland

NCAA Men’s Basketball Picks: Syracuse at Maryland

I think this is an interesting game, but unfortunately it also has an interesting signal from the computer. Syracuse is predicted to win this game, but they aren’t expected to win by much. The computer sees some value in the money line, but expects Maryland to cover the spread here with almost 90% certainty.

I disagree slightly. I view this as a conflicted algorithm output and I think it’s best to bet with caution here when chasing the money line. I don’t see any value in the four point spread and question some  ...

NBA Picks: Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors

NBA Picks: Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors

Sorry for the delay today, folks. I was waiting for the line to post but it was held by Vegas, and there’s only three NBA games today. I love the shootout that’s brewing between the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors tonight. This should be a fun one if both teams come out firing.

For me, the Warriors are too inconsistent and, when facing elite teams at spreads like this, their volatility has been profitable when betting the other side. The Houston Rockets are the superior team and the spread is likely  ...
