White-hot handicapper Matt Rivers has Virginia plus the points at BetUs. They are getting 17 points against Duke. He is among the top sports handicapper gurus who are making a fortune against the NCAA Basketball Odds in March Madness.
Could Duke win this game going away 90-60? I guess they could, as the Cavaliers really do not have all that much going for them today against Coach K's boys. But with that said Tony Bennett's team did just have a solid upset victory yesterday over a decent enough Boston College team and will want some revenge today for the recent whacking they just took at Charlottesville against the Blue Devils.
In that last meeting between these teams UVA was doomed from the start when they learned an hour or so before tipoff that star Sylvan Landesberg was going to miss. That was devastating news and you can tell how the homeboys were just ill prepared to compete without their stud. It may be the same personnel today as Landesberg is not expected to play but things are totally different now as this fact is now the norm and not the exception.
The preparation showed yesterday in the Cavs far better overall performance.
Stopping Jon Scheyer is an almost impossible task and if Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith are on then we could have a lopsided result. But two touchdowns and a field goal is an absolute ton to lay and after seeing what happened yesterday on this Greensboro court how can one not take a stab on such a gargantuan number?
Virginia, Miami and NC State shocked BC, Wake Forest and Clemson respectively and North Carolina even almost pulled out a rare victory and fourth outright on the day. We could be seeing a developing trend here. Maybe not but when getting about 17 points back, maybe.
We will need heroic performances from Sammy Zeglinski, Mike Scott and maybe a few others but even if this thing is somewhat lopsided we could always potentially see that backdoor open up late.
The pick: Virginia
For more information: I have isolated a fairly sizable mid-day dog that I expect to win outright today and nobody isolates big pups the way I do, nobody!
My highest rated 500,000* improved to 43-22 all-time on Thursday in another huge winning 2-1 day netting just under 400,000* of profit. Only an amazing late Indiana implosion prevented the 3-0 Thursday sweep. 7 of 10 winning days and a 12-7-1 overall run. Also a cool 2.375 million* of profit over the past 55 days. That's short-term profit and long-term profit.
Another 500,000* is here as I have that monster pup plus a bonus 300,000* Florida State-NC State, 200,000* UMASS-Richmond and 200,000* Kansas State-Baylor. Click now to purchase
