🔮 One of the two matches between ranked teams happens today, so we know both of them will move up or down the Top-25 list after this, with Arizona taking on Texas Tech.
🔮 Florida and Georgia play today, and a win here for Florida would go a long way for its case and probably hurt the Bulldogs quite a bit.
🔮 The Charlotte Hornets are not as terrible as you might think if you haven't followed the game recently.
🔮 However, the rest of the roster is filled out with guys who would be better at filling roles than filling holes.
🔮 I will grab UConn at +1250 to win the title, as I think this team will make at least an Elite 8 appearance.
🔮 This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.
🔮 If you want to find any "flaw" for the team, it might be that they are only winning by one run in about half of the games.
🔮 My victory lap will stop here because I have been dead wrong about the Dallas Cowboys.
🔮 This season, the Chiefs have found a way to a 5-0 record, but their bye week has already passed, which makes me think they will lose some games late in the season.
🔮 The Chargers were expected to be strong this year, but they’ve been terrible.
