Louisville +1400, behind only Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, Texas and Duke.
Alabama at +1800. They aren't even a tournament team. No reason they should be ahead of Villanova, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Washington, Ga Tech, Cal, Illinois, Ok State, K-State, etc.
The top three are Kansas (425), Kentucky (500) and North Carolina (800).
Teams I think you are getting pretty solid value on (I think can make a Final Four/Elite Eight run): Texas (1150), Michigan State (1500), Purdue (2300), Villanova (2500), Washington (4500), Ohio State (4500), .California (6500), Illinois (7500), Michigan (10000)

Michigan +10000
BIG Value bet on Villanova +2500
Its a wide open year and theres lots of value if you can find the right teams.

seriously, we have key injuries and some transfers with grant coming in as the new head coach of the tide. that being said, we will finally be a strong fundamental team with the obvious addition of better coaching. but those odds are waaaaay off. we should be around 10000 or so imho.

bama was +1500 to win the national championship in football this year... and they started out as a top ten team. thats just a mistake imo with the basketball team future.

Alabama should be about +7000-+8000
Syracuse should be +15000, not +1800
Even Pittsburgh at +4500 is overvalued.. they should be AT LEAST +10000.
UCLA should NOT be +1900
Notre Dame +3300? wtf?
I hope 5 dimes is consistent with overvaluing these teams.... we could make a ton of money just fading the Pitts, UConns, Syracuses early in the year.

#10 Posted: 10/21/2009 9:14:14 PM There was some places that had Cuse up even w/ the Heels at +1100, I almost choked.
Saw Dickie V had his preseason top 5 on Mike & Mike, Puke was 5. I need even the biggest Pukie tell me how they think they are a top 5 team. Thye made it to the sweet 16 cause they played no one and got a nice seed, they don'tmake it past that round again.
Teams I think are Elite 8 right now- KU, MSU, Tucky, Nova, Tex, UNC.
Team I have to see how they are, read more on, but think could make runs to sweet 16- GT, Cal, Okie ST, Miss ST, SHU, Cincy |

PU was the sleeper team 2 years ago. Teams are becoming more familiar with this group. They will win big games this year as it is no surprise cause we saw it 2 years ago and last year.

I think there is good value in a solid Washington squad at +4500 and California at +6500.
