My book momentarily hung UConn -4 (+110) but then changed it to UConn -3 (-110). I only mention that because this particular book I had never seen that before.
I was so impressed with UConn early in the season when I watched them play in the Maui Classic and then as the season progressed they were ok but never seemed to reach the intensity they were at during that pre-season tournament. In the NCAA tournament though they have been playing with that same type of intensity again.
Butler you just can’t say enough about, I mean a true darling of a team with an enormous upside and they play with never-say-die total team relentlessness. So impressed that such a small school has been able to accomplish what they have done in back to back seasons.
I was hoping to catch a break here with the line. I anticipated Vegas hanging a UConn -7 type line but obviously I was way off about that. The line posted is actually according to my program a very accurate line. It lends a slight edge to UConn but not enough to be an official qualifier.
I am gonna use it tonight but like the other games posted today I am not fully committed to them. I had a good run last week and I am pressing my luck tonight a bit because I know I’ll have to be picking my spots now that baseball season is here and my options are severely limited.
Today’s Plays:
Boston/NY Rangers UNDER 5 (-105) LOSER
Braves/Brewers UNDER 8.5 (+105) WINNER
UConn -3 (-110) WINNER
Plays are $100 to win $95, $105 and $90.
I don't know if anyone considers the games I post but just in case there is someone out there just know that UConn and the baseball total are hunches. The hockey play is a complete system qualifier but it just feels sketchy.
