It was only appropriate that we end the football season with a W. We did just that, as the Saints and Colts stayed Under 57 total points. We ended with a 36-7 run on all football plays, and a 20-4 run on NFL plays. I'm already looking forward to next season.
Now my attention turns to hoops where we have a 7-1 all-hoops run going, as well as a 5-0 run on college hoops plays. We have a short board tonight, but I still found one play I felt was worth the investment. I'm going to post it here in the forum in just a moment. Starting today, I'm going to release one or two free premium plays in this thread each week.
I'd like to say a special THANK YOU to my long-term clients. Your continued support and loyalty is greatly appreciated.
DAILY REMINDER: Please use proper money management. I bet the same amount on each play and I recommend you do the same. Please bet within your means, and best of luck as always.

DAILY REMINDERS
#1: Please use proper money management. Whether you flat bet my plays or play them according to the Unit ratings, PLEASE bet within your means.
#2: Unless otherwise stated, my daily card is FINAL at 6 p.m. Eastern Monday through Friday and Noon Eastern on Saturdays and Sundays.
#3: PLEASE take a moment to tell your loved ones that you love them. Take a moment to kiss your spouse/significant other, hug your children, call your parents, etc. Those things are so much more important than betting on any sporting event, and you never know when it will be the last time you see them.
We're following the "smart money" in this one. Despite a majority of the reported bets coming in on Villanova, this line has moved from WVU -4.5 to -6 in some places. But this isn't just about backing the wise guys.
WVU can grab a share of second place in the Big East with a win tonight. The Mountaineers only home loss in 11 games at the WVU Coliseum this season was a heartbreaking one-point loss to Big East leading Syracuse. The WVU Coliseum has been a "House of Horrors" for this 'Nova class, as they're only two appearances in this venue have resulted in losses by 11 in '07 and 21 last season.
According to the Pomeroy ratings, WVU owns an edge in defensive efficiency, ranking 22nd in the nation as compared to 'Nova's #64 ranking. I always like to have a defensive edge when I'm laying points. WVU also has a size advantage in this matchup, so I fully expect them to win the battle on the glass ('Nova is +4.6 boards per game on the road, WVU is +8.7 at home) -- another huge element to the game, in my opinion.
Bottom line: Playing a top conference rival on national TV (ESPN) is always a huge emotional lift for the home team. With 'Nova getting drilled at Georgetown just two days, and knowing their recent history in this building, they could get that "here we go again" feeling when WVU gets a run going and gets up on them. The public is taking 'Nova, expecting a bounce back tonight. I see the opposite happening in this road contest. I expect WVU to feed off the home crowd, win the battle of the boards and play the solid defense that is necessary to get a margin here. Call it Mountaineers by 10. Lay it with West Virginia.

Well, I picked the wrong day to start releasing an occasional free premium pick. Absolutely the wrong call tonight on West Virginia. My apologies to all who followed. I'll be back at it again tomorrow.
What are you going to do. I can't believe I bet that damn team again. They got me 3 times this season, those stiff heads.
I hope you're as pissed as I am. Give that bag a couple of whacks for me tonight DB. We'll get 'em tomorrow.
