It's that time again - for the Buffet to completely misfire on its betting projections, but let's take a look anyway.
Today's games are too soon to give a full/complete breakdown, so we'll just say, that we like:
Miss Valley St +4 over Western Kentucky. WKy plays in a stronger conference, but the Delta Devils non-conference schedule, those tough road games, the fact that WKU was only average against said stronger conference and terrible before it, suggest MVSU is far more battle tested, a bit underseeded even being in this game, and has something to prove tonight.
Iona/BYU. We want to love the over - basically Vegas just took their neutral court averages and put it O/U, so we like it, lukewarmly, expected it to be down - but then again if are lukewarm and like, then it probably makes it a perfect line, but in support of the over, Iona may be motivated, but they didn't suddenly learn to execute team defensively philosophies. But, man, maybe we're underselling this BYU team, but didn't see much from them (yes, they beat Gonzaga, but, yes, Gonzaga showed you what that meant by drilling the Cougars (not Brandon Davies, but still) in Vegas during the WCC tourney. We see a nothing-to-lose Iona team granted a second life after they put up a dud against a Derek Needham-less Fairfield team. We'll take Iona +1 1/2
More picks to come... just a appetite whetter. Or, we get 'em both wrong, and nobody turns back.
