Except for Rail's history, I would make JK about -300.

I think JK is getting help from some Costa Rican women.

Birdie is pulling a Jared Goof.
This is the octagon and rail lost the first rd
But remember there’s 5 rds in a championship fight
He only has 3 picks in
Rail is goin for a 4peat n undefeated in this format
This is far from over
U don’t win 3 months in a row without skill

Reports of Rail's death are greatly exaggerated.

I will have at least four plays from this Saturday's card.

My thoughts: It's easier to win in early February than late February.

My Cal Baptist selection had to make FACTSMAN smile.

Final score: Cal Baptist 94 Chicago State 44.

So it takes skill to flip a coin and land heads 3X in a row? Birdie has been dominant but not ouside the variance. Once he wins enough where you can't duplicate easily with the coin test then crown his ass.

Cal Davis opened at WH this afternoon (3:58 PST) at +8.5, moved to +8 at 8:08 pm (lots of Nevada books moved at the same time) so JK's line looks valid.

Davis comes off two wire-to-wire wins while UCSB in its last game fell behind Northridge, 11-0 early, before battling back for a six-point win.

UCSB beat Davis in mid-January, 69-58, after falling behind early, 10-0.

Birdie is flying again.

Only one problem: William Hill is not showing USD -1.5.

WillHill opened San Diego -2 and the number has never moved there.

Rooting for that Illinois play. They are clearly the fastest tempo team in a conference of grinders. Think they are better than their record; they've had several games where they were in it until the final couple minutes only to get overcome by dumb mistakes. They were within one of the Zags in Maui with about two minutes to play. But laying six is new territory for them. Biggest concern is they are a team who plays to the level of competition.

Another 50-point win?

Possibly, but the Cal Baptist 50 point win was mostly due to playing Chicago State.

I saw a stat that Chicago State has the second worst DIV I point differential average in conference play in the last 20 years. They had the 3rd worst Sagarin rating (351) before playing Cal Baptist.
