Something to throw out there related to this pick -- Sagarin has the MVC rated as the 5th strongest conference, ahead of conferences like the PAC-10, the A-10, and the Big 12. This was a major surprise to me. Bettors should keep this in mind when the mid-major "bracket buster" games start, and also at tourney time, both NCAA and NIT. MVC teams may present good betting opportunities.

I got Pitt and Creighton so hopefully these picks come through. Donbest also has a free pick listed for Creighton with a good analysis there.

Adding Tennessee +10.5 -110
Shoe I gotta go against you here. I got screwed a bit while waiting on skybook to post this one, I think Tenn keeps it close here.

Adding Bowling Green +3 -105 (mansion)
Should have hit up +3.5 -105 earlier when I saw it at skybook, oh well.

i took Creighton on the money line, and they came out firing in the second half. too bad they didn't cover the 7 pt spread.

Tennessee covered, Bowling Green surprisingly won.

2-1 night, keep up the good work!

Good pick on Tennessee... they kept it close all game like you said and then I almost got lucky at the end...

I'm still a Bball rookie, hope to learn more from you as the season goes on. /images/graemlins/grin.gif
