Butler -1
Yes Tom Izzo is a GREAT Coach, but lack of depth catches up here as Butler is the real deal, without question. Forget mid major, these guys are on the same page, beat a better team in Kansas State than what Mich. State is, and they can flat out ball against anyone. Butlers defense is UNREAL and 14 ppg than Michigan States, in their last 5 games. Butlers has held some STUD teams on the average to under 55 ppg. Michigan State has won ugly this entire tourney, and ity ends here, I do not care how many times Izzo has been here, Butler will not be pushed around. Play 1 Unit on Butler.

15 Dime College Pick in the Final 4 on the Duke Blue Devils as a small chalk agaist West Virginia. As this play is posted around 2 am Eastern Saturday, the Blue Devls are laydng around 2 1/2 points in Las Vegas and Offsahore. But like I always tell you in fooiball, "you never get beat by the hook" so go ahead and buy the 1/2 point down on Duke.
It all comes down to the years of experience Coach K brings to this Final Four. Nothing else really matters for my money. Love the guy, or hate the guy, Coach K can flat-out coach, and in the end his know-how will make a difderence when the chips are down in this battle.
All props to West Virginia for taking Kentucky out of their rhythm, but when you think about it, the Wildcats don't really have a pure jump-shooter. The Blue Devils have 3. Scheyer, Singler, and Smith can all put the ball through the hoop from long range, and that is what you need against the Mountaineers zone defense.
The Mountaineers shot out of their minds from behind the arc against Kentucky, nailing 10 trifectas in the game, 8 of them coming in the first half. I don't know about you, but watching West Virginia play in the games leading up to their unlikely outburst against Kentucky, I can tell you that for my money, there is no way West Virginia shoots like that tonight against Duke.
The Blue Devils are one of the best teams in the nation in defendaing the arc, and that will be an area that W Va loses the battle in all 40 minutes long.
Great run for Huggy and the 'Neers, but with this being Mike Krzyzewski's 11th trip to the Final Four, I just can't pass up his expirience minus this small number.
Dookies dancing on to Monday night.

FREE PICK - MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS
Nick "BookieKiller" Parsons
8* Butler -1
For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this contest is on the Bulldogs.
The fifth-seeded Spartans advanced to the final four with a hard fought 70-69 victory over Tennessee.
This team has had to battle on and off court issues all year; I believe the injuries will finally catch up to this team in this one against a determined Butler team.
In addition to Kalin Lucas’ injury, Delvon Roe is playing on a torn meniscus and Chris Allen is nursing an aching foot.
The Spartan's "offense by committee" I believe has reached the end of its rope.
Important to point out that Michigan State is a poor 8-15 ATS its last 23 when playing against a team with a winning record; also just 7-9 ATS vs. good defensive teams that allow 64 points per game or less.
On the other side of the court: Gordon Hayward scored 22 points in the Bulldogs 63-56 victory over Kansas State in the West Regional; I expect this "team of destiny" to continue its incredible journey.
The Bulldogs win with defense, and I expect this team to continue to go to its strengths; trapping, swarming, pressuring defense throughout the game.
Butler is 4-1 ATS its last five overall and is extremely balanced.
Bottom line: No need to overanalyze this one; Michigan State has adapted unbelievably well up to this point, but now runs into arguably the hottest team in the nation with the most dominant defense; never has the adage: "defines wins champions", ring more true than now.

FREE Saturday NBA Play: NBA (813) PHOENIX SUNS (814) MILWAUKEE BUCKS.
Take: (814) MILWAUKEE BUCKS.
Reason: Two red hot teams meet in Milwaukee. This is a tough spot for the Suns, as hot as they've been, playing their fifth straight road game, the end of a long trip. That's a tough time to have a road trip near the end of a long season. It's also the 4th game in 5 nights on a trip where Steve Nash's back has acted up. Milwaukee comes home from a modest two-game road trip, the hottest ATS team since January. The Bucks have already covered at Phoenix as a +9 dog and have the motivation to play hard here with Miami hot on their heals for the No. 5 seed. Play the Bucks.

Guys, we've had the late game confirmed for a while but I wanted to release both at the same time so you didn't have to waste your Saturday checking the phones for emails and what not. However, This Butler/Michigan State game has been racking my brain for days. It has lead to restless nights this week for sure. How can you bet against Tom Izzo? How can you bet against Tom Izzo with a week to prepare? How can you not back the better conference? How can you not back a team that has over come more adversity all year with injuries etc. than a simple game against Butler? My information says Butler, my numbers show Butler, I'm scared of releasing Butler based upon the above and possibly foul trouble on Howard...I just can't pull the damn trigger and If I don't pull the trigger and put my hard earned money on it I damn sure won't be asking/advising you to do the same. Just because this is the final 4 doesn't mean you, or I have to bet it - I don't operate that way! There is a reason it's now Saturday and Duke will be my 4th release of the week. If you want 10 games a day with a monkey crapping on the sports section of your local paper and where the crap splatters play it...By all means be my guest - find that capper who jams games down your throat. It's comical watching these so called experts (I call them marketing magicians) magically have games of the years on BOTH games today. We don't need to do that, we have clients and many of them - but the difference is they come back as oppose to the rest of them losing their clients after one buy, thus having to market to find new blood all the time.

30-DIME #822 DUKE BLUE DEVILS -2 (-110) (WAGER 33 to WIN 30)
Won't get off Coach K and this money train now. Perfect ATS so far in the tournament and a week to prepare. Don't get me wrong Huggins is a great coach (a better drinker) but the brains in this match up is Coach K and the Duke Blue Devils. I have believed since Day 1 this Duke team on paper/stats was the best in the country. Kenpom confirmed just that before the tournament. Vegas liked Kentucky and Kansas better but once those teams were knocked out Vegas made Duke the favorite to cut down the nets. I think this will be a slow paced game, I think this will be a half court game. When you have those aspects I have to go with the more fundamental team, I have to go with the better shooting team, and I have to go with the team that has 3 potential threats to go off as oppose to just one. I love DeSean Butler, but if he is off WV is off. Last week we saw a situation where Singler was horrible, worst game of the season but Duke won and covered because they Had Scheyer and Smith. It's a 3 headed monster! I can tell you this line opened at -1.5 and the total was set at 136 and the syndicates steamed both...those were the only numbers they hit hard out of the 4 possibly Final Four lines. Its unfortunate I am not in a position to release those games right then because it wouldn't be fair to you to release a total then watch it move 5 points 5 days before the game even tips. I'd like to release it now but a lot of the value is gone at this point so we will stick with Duke and lose a 1/2 point in value. This game is going to come down to rebounding plain and simple! This is the one aspect Duke has improved on over the years and is the soul reason they find themselves in the Final Four. ZuZu, The Plumlee brothers, and Thomas have contributed to some great interior defense, some great rebounding, and provided the toughness they will need to compete with WV - they did not have that (For the most part, younger) a few years ago when they lost to this WV team. I think Duke giving up a bucket or less is the best proposition for Saturday night!

This line is horrible...I don't think I would EVER...and I mean EVERRRRR would advise you to lay this kind of wood. With that said...It's free money - honestly, this thing is over before it started. It's unfortunate it didn't start freaking 5-6 years ago and have it end both their careers. Don't waste your money buying this fight on PPV - it's a joke they are making you pay for this fight at all. If I lived in Vegas I would have gone, I got tickets but it wasn't even worth the trip out there to be dead honest. Unless your going to it to occupy your Saturday night just don't even bother watching this and log into your wagering account and see the money in the morning. This play will be are second "OTHER SPORTS" wager of 2010 - and please use your head when wagering on this. If your bankroll can't support something like this (A 5-1 wager) don't be a "yo-yo" and do something stupid!
