UTEP best play on the board tonight IMO.

Houston are decent at home, but only average at best on the road.

Ok had a bad night...I admit it! But lets go over a couple games summaries:

First off the Mich St game...This game was obviously fixed from the get go! I mean are you kidding me? Mich st is leading at half just like i figured it would go up by 13...Then all of a sudden they totally go to hell in the 2nd half and let Penn catch up to make it back and forth within 2-6pts in the last minute..But isnt it funny, the game came down to Mich st leading by 4 with 1.5 seconds left and PSU fouls the leading scorer for Mich st and he just happens to miss the first free throw, but make the 2nd to end the game with Mich St winning by 5..on a 5.5 spread! Lmao...too funny....Cmon guys u dont think what your doing stands out just a little...Gimme break! This game shouldve been a blow out! Such a fixed game!

Next game i called was Duke winning by roughly around 16..ok it ended up 14..on a 10.5 spread...Guess there was no need for a fix on this game..Not enough money wagered on it to have it fixed!

Next game i said was Illinois! I said that they would smoke Michigan by atleast 12..Ok they won by 15 on a 6.5 spread!

Next game and this one makes me laugh! You got Florida leading Auburn all game long by an average of 8-10pts...It then comes down to the final minute and Florida is still covering the spread up 5 and Auburn fires a long 3pt shot for no reason cause time had run out..and ends the game at Florida winning by 3 on a 2.5 spread! This game shouldve ended up with Florida winning by 15. If these 2 teams play again and the game is in Florida...the outcome is easily Florida by 20...But hey i still took them to cover 2.5 and they did!

Next game! Well folks i officially give up on Arkansas being a top 25 team! 1 Loss is classified as a bad game played or a fluke to a team that was far worse on papper...But now back to back loses to both Mississippi teams,and ive lost all faith on this team! Obviously those 2 wins versus texas and Oklahoma were by fluke, cause good teams dont beat teams like that, then cave to Miss teams that arent half as good as Texas and Oklahoma!

Next game! Biggest upset of the night and Major disappointment!

Syracuse! You gotta be kidding me right? U have a Syracuse team that has been on fire and are 16-1 go into Georgetown and be down by 20 right off thre bat?..Well lets get things straight first off...Georgetown had a record night of draining baskets- anything the put up in the air went in, and that is called pure luck! On any other night without getting that lucky, this game stays close in a hearbeat! I gaurantee if this game is played 1 day later with same 2 teams, its a 2-4 pt outcome for one or the other! Just a fluky night for the hoyas, nothing you can do about that!

Next game! Wake forest! I said Wake forest would smoke in this game and they did! Won hands down in a total blowout by 20! Enuff said! Oh by the way everyone...I said it before they beat the tarheels and b.c that this might sound funny to some people, but i took Wake forest early in the year to win the championship! ...Mark my words now! WAKE FOREST WINS THE MARCH MADNESS TOURNY!

Other let downs...

Unlv..They should be shot for losing to a team like Colo st...Total joke!

Richmond played terrible

Miami Ohio played brutal!

Alabama missed covering the spread by .5 on a shot with no time left on the clock...thats why i said stay away from this game...knew something was fishy before it started!

Well overall, not a good night but then again,when u have fixed games like the Mich st game that is planned before it starts, and other teams like Georgetown that have the game of their lives where anything and everything goes in the basket...What can ya do except go on to the next night!

I will list my picks for Thursday Jan 15th very shortly! Goodluck!
