And this is why I don't bet on sports anymore. Other than the fact that it is now illegal to do so. After a 3-0 start on both my bracket and my picks against the spreads, the second group of games brought out the real me. As far as my brackets go, things aren't too bad right now. I am 6-1 with my only setback thus far being Butler beating Old Dominion. That was my upset pick of the day, and it looked good until the second half. I have to tell you, I'm really glad I didn't watch the first half of this game as there were only 39 total points scored, but the second half appeared to be entertaining. This was also the last game I picked when looking at the lines this morning. Butler was two and a half point favorites, and I was banking on Old Dominion beating them outright, I should have known better. Butler came out firing in the second half and walked out with a 57-46 win.
As far as my other games against the spread I went 1-2, bringing my total for the day to 4-3. Georgetown walked past Belmont 80-55 easily covering the 17 points. I really thought Oral Roberts had a chance to keep it close against Washington State and did so for the first half. But the second half was all Washington State, and they cruised to a 70-54 win. The Texas A&M and Penn game involved two teams I knew nothing about, and it showed. A&M closed the first half with a 31-18 lead. Penn got to within 5 or 6 in the second half, but A&M pulled ahead even more at the end and was able to cover, winning 68-52.
My cinderella pick to make the sweet 16, George Washington, is in serious trouble right now. They are losing to Vandy by 16 with 2 minutes left in the first half. Uh-oh.
Official Record as of right now:
Bracket: 6-1
Against the Spread: 4-3
More later......
