Back door woes

Days like yesterday are the kind that will make you never want to gamble again. It was looking like a 3-0 day until the tables drastically turned in the two games the Michigan teams played in. Michigan -1 1/2 was up by four with under a minute to play and managed to not cover and lose at the same time which for me was a one-two punch to the nuts, being a Michigan fan and all. At least failure in that capacity is somewhat expected of Michigan, but Wisconsin? Really Wisconsin? Up by 11 midway through the second half and you can't keep from losing by double digits?? Really Bo Ryan? I mean REALLY? The under looked amazing the entire game, but Wisconsin +8 1/2 looked even better! We still only lost a unit of profit but man, yesterday we were back doored more times than Jeff Garcia in his days with San Francisco. It's tough to come back and bet after a day like yesterday, but we must!

$$$$ Kansas + 2 1/2 @ Oklahoma

The Sooners All-American and player of the year candidate, Blake Griffin, is out tonight with a lingering concussion. This is bad, really bad for Oklahoma, but to be honest I think Kansas could beat Oklahoma even if Griffin was playing. The Jayhawks are playing the best they've played all year and they match up good against Oklahoma with Griffin playing, great when he's not. Also, Oklahoma doesn't have a true point guard or any great ball-handlers which means nobody will be able to guard Sherron Collins, and the Jayhawk defense will pressure the Sooners into a stampede of turnovers. If you can get a money line on this game drop some cabbage on Kansas. They win outright by 10.

$$$ Celtics -2 @ Denver

Denver has a nice record, but they smell against good teams and reek against better ones. Even without Garnett I still like the Celtics giving 2 points to 90 % of the teams in the league. Play Beantown to kidney shot the Nuggets right from the get go and cruise to a double digit win.
