2-0 yesterday and a solid 10-3 on the week after yesterdays two NBA quick picks hit.
Today let's continue rolling in the NBA.
$$$$ Hornets - 1 1/2 @ Atlanta
Since the return of David West the Hornets have been almost unbeatable. They are the winner of 5 straight and tonight they will extend that streak in a near pick em against an overrated Hawks squad. Bibby will struggle like every other guard when in comes to guarding Chris Paul, and David West will contribute with another ho hum double double. Look for the Hornets to pull away late in the fourth and win by 5.
$$$$ St Mary.s +7 1/2 vs. Gonzaga
This is the WCC and a near must win for St. Marys who now has their all-American in Patty Mills back in the lineup. These teams have already met twice this year, both times Gonzaga won (by 2 and 7) and both times Mills was out. Actually St. Marys was ahead by 8 @ Gonzaga before he broke his hand just before half time. Even though St. Marys looked horrific last night against Portland (the main reason why the line is at 7 1/2) I think they cover and win outright.
$$$ Pistons +2 vs. Orlando
Orlando is coming off an impressive win against the still Garnet-less Celtics, now they have to go play a Detroit team who they lost to at home just weeks ago. The Pistons are playing like they used to be known for (Protecting home court, losing close and sometimes winning on the road) and will have no problem beating the Magic for the second time in two weeks.
$$$ Lakers - 2 1/2 @ Portland
Portland is young and good, but LA is wise and better. Look for Kobe to bring his A game against Brandon Roy and lead his team to a double digit victory.

Weekend Update
2-1 yesterday on my quick picks brings us to 6-3 on the week. I was too caught up in Michigan's miraculous comeback and tourny clinching victory over Minnesota to make my early picks, so here's who I like later today.
$$$$ Kansas -8 vs. Texas
Texas is overrated to begin with and Kansas will be looking to take some aggression out after getting embarrassed early in the week by Texas Tech. Kansas beat Missouri by 30 in the Jayhawks last home game and they could do the same today against a poor Texas club. Look for the Jawhawks to win in a blowout.
$$$ Nebraskas +5 1/2 @ Baylor
I've made a living off betting against Baylor this year and I don't see any reason to stop. Nebraska is a much better team at home but I think they can hang around in this game if not win outright.
*** WARNING TRAPLINE ***
LSU +2 @ Aburn
It's hard not to like the best team in the SEC getting points to anyone in-conference, but this line feels too good to be true. Auburn is a lot like Washing State in that they have poor records but can beat almost anybody on their home floor. Auburn might be the best play here, but I'd stay away.

Nickle and Diming it
4-0 in the last two days and today we look to tip-toe to a sweet 6-0 with a couple of smaller picks. I'm not crazy about any games tonight so I'm only releasing two $$ bets. There's no need to get greedy right now...
$$ Kansas - 10 1/2 @ Texas Tech
Kansas has been one of my favorite teams to be on this year. They've been on fire down the stretch and should have no problem crushing a horrific Texas Tech squad. Any loss or slip up could cost the Jayhawks a lock as a 2 seed in the tournament, so don't look for a let down here.
$$ Florida in a pick em @ Miss St.
Florida has, HAS to have this game if they want even a shot to get into the big dance. Mississippi State has lost three straight and four of five, including a double digit loss at home to Auburn. Florida wins a close one.

We got ONE
Last night turned out to be easy as Notre Dame played like they have all season in route to a double digit loss against a solid Nova. Let's see if we can't win back to back days and get a bit of a winning streak going.
$$$$ Detroit -3 vs. Denver
Carmelo out means bad news for the Nuggets, Iverson out means good news for the Pistons. Chauncy Billups is back in town but him alone won't be enough to take down Rip and a gelling Detroit squad. Pistons pull away in the 4th and win by 10.
$$$ Ohio State -1 @ Iowa
As of right now Ohio State is in the tourny, but if they lose tonight it could put them on the outside looking in. They NEED this game, just like the NEEDED the Northwestern game they urinated away. Tonight they get up early and hang on in a close one.
$$$ Magic -7 vs. Suns
The Suns will be without their two best players in Nash and Stoudamire and they struggle against most teams on the road. Dwight Howard will humble Shaq in a double digit romping.

Weekend Suicide
I don't think we need a recap on what happened this weekend. 1-7 is bad, and if you still have a bankroll you're lucky.
Today I like one game, and one game only...
$$$$ Villanove +3 @ Notre Dame
Villanova lost to a poor Georgetown team this weekend and Notre Dame almost beat UConn. Those are the two reasons why Nova is getting points here. I'm just going to pretend those games never happened. Nova is a lot better than Notre Dame and they should win outright tonight.
