I missed a 12-team by 1 game.  $5 would have paid $3500!

I am going with teams that have almost no chance of losing on the ML  or teams favored by a huge spread and buying down to 7 -10 pts

Kinda agree- state avg lost to unc  has been 15.6 they are getting better coaching and playing this year so i predict 10-13pts.  We all know badgers have a hard time scoring pts - i wouldnt be surprise if they iu won outright.

Advice: you could burn $500 at once or burn $10/night. The result is still the same.

Just take the points with W&M....these two teams matchup very well together....both of them should come in tonight playing hard as this is a winnable game in both team's eyes.....W&M +8 was the first wager I placed this evening as I think it goes down to the wire.

Love Cal St. Fullerton -6. Throw it in on the moneyline. Someone mentioned Cal Poly that looks pretty safe on the ML as well.
