Last 4 game preview

I always say that I want to see at least one upset in each group of 4 games.  I guess Texas A&M beating Nebraska is going to be it for this group.  Duke was pushed a little bit in the second half, but still won pretty handily.  It looks like Purdue is going to win and Alabama looks good as well.  I guess a 9 over 8 is all we get for now.

Here are the updated scores:

For everyone’s info, Becky H. won our fantasy football league this year.  Apparently, this is the year she dominates my sports life.  Great picking so far, Becky…

Here are the last 4 games

Game 29

Houston v Longwood

Vegas Line: Houston -24.5

Picks for Houston: 269

Picks for Longwood: 5

I have a feeling that Houston is slowly creeping into the Baylor Zone.  For the last 3-4 years, I have loved Houston during the regular season, and I pick them to do really well in the tournament only to be let down.  It was hard to admit that to myself, but I feel like a psychological weight has been lifted by saying it out loud.  It’s OK.  Life will go on.  Better to face these things with open-eyed clarity.  I’m still going to carry a small torch for Houston, but maybe I just need to let them go.  They aren’t good for me.  But not yet…  Let’s have one last fling, Houston.  We can still have some fun together for one last run…..

Game 30

Wisconsin v James Madison

Vegas Line: Wisconsin -5.5

Picks for Wisconsin: 155

Picks for James Madison: 119

You know a game is a semi-toss up if both sides have >100 picks on them.  There was a time not too long ago, that the 12/5 game was a sure fire upset pick.  Well, 5s are 2-0 so far, so maybe it’s time to let that idea go as well.  I kind of like James Madison, but that’s probably more because I like mid-majors beating up on mid tier Power 5 conference teams.

Game 31

Utah State v TCU

Vegas Line: TCU -3

Picks for Utah State: 148

Picks for TCU: 126

This is a little strange.  The seeds say that Utah State is the better team, but Vegas has TCU favored.  I feel like 99 times out of 100, the picks come down on the Vegas favorite, but this time we went with Utah State.  Good for us.  We aren’t slaves to the Vegas lines.  They don’t know everything….  I am rooting for Utah State.  During the pandemic, I used to have to sit on a daily 2 hour meeting where we discussed the scheduling of bags.  The people on that call were all in Logan, Utah.  I got to hear a lot about Utah State sports teams as a result.  They were good people.  Not sure I needed to spend 10 hours a week discussing bags with them, but I did like them in general.  The Aggies are also a Mountain West team, so I’m hoping they win.

Game 32

St. Mary’s v Grand Canyon

Vegas Line: St. Mary’s -5.5

Picks for St. Mary’s: 160

Picks for Grand Canyon: 114

Another upset special pick.  Would be an interesting way to finish the first round.  My wife asked me, “Isn’t Grand Canyon one of those on-line universities?”  Why yes, it was.  I believe that they started out as an on-line university a la U of Phoenix.  However, they actually built a campus and hold in person classes and have a sports program.  They are pretty decent as well.  Grand Canyon beat San Diego State early this season, so they can certainly pull of an upset here.

Good luck!!!!!
