The latest NYS unemployment stats are miserable. Then again, why is New York State Department of Labor different than the rest of America? Need good economic news? The sportsbooks are paying on-time and paying big time to pro bettors. It's been fantastic for pro gamblers and horrid for squares in March Madness betting.
In the middle of March Madness NCAA Basketball Odds, one of the top sports handicapper experts OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Handicapper Matt Rivers says take the Detroit Pistons at home against Chicago.
There is no debating that the Pistons are an absolute debacle of a team right now. This franchise has gone from a great one to a pathetic one in pretty much no time at all but it's not like these Bulls are much of anything themselves these days.
The Pistons are at home and should win this game. They are the fresher team as da Bulls just had to bang with the Nets on Saturday night and then travel here to MoTown for this back-to-back. Detroit also has a guy named Ben Gordon who would like nothing better than shoving it up his former team's butts. Gordon has not had the kind of season that he would have liked but the guy is still very capable when motivated.
Chicago just had that 10 game losing streak and is flat out a terrible basketball team right now. Their talent level is just not that high with Luol Deng banged up and even though the Pistons stink Detroit still at least has guys that should be good in Hamilton, Prince, Stuckey, Maxiell, Villaneuva and a few others.
The Bulls have won all three meetings this season and I just can't see four for four from a bad team.
This is far from the lock of my life but at home and being the fresher and more talented team I can't help but make a small play on the Pistons. The Bulls stink, have stunk and will stink one more time.
The pick: Detroit -2 at Bodog
