No love from the V-Boys. I've scrolled up and down the spreads and no line feels like the real thing. I want to believe Cincy won't lose by 9, and that Cal should beat UW by more than 2. You'd hope the pathetic Beavers wouldn't lose by 19, and Miami (OH) could take care of Buffalo by 10. But I hate all this action if I'm placing money on the barrel.
So let's take a look at yesterday's picks...

Cleveland State broke my heart, and bank account, with the 15 point loss to Butler. But you can't prognosticate injuries, and the loss of Cedric Jackson for the second half cost me the spread. Jackson was (and we have to use the past tense, 'cause there is no chance CSU breaks the bubble, even though they showed up second in a very prominsing Horizon league) the Vikings second leading scorer and rebounder. That's easily five points lost right there. That's why they call it gambling.
Western Kentucky took care of business, gaining the Sun Belt Auto-bid, a chance to take on a three-seed that will probably destroy them, and at least getting me to .500 on the day. I wish the best for the Hilltoppers, but a run in the NCAA Basketball tourney is not expected by the Prophet. But keep an eye on Southern Alabam'. If they get matched up with a run-and-gun teams (aka Duke in the second round), the Jags may play in the Sweet Sixteen
