But right now we welcome in Jeff Sherman, Westgate Superbook Odsmaker, NBA golf and other topics here with Jeff Wilhill, Matt humans on V some prime time. And before we speak with Jeff, let's find out what's going on at the book. Where are the lines changing and where's the money going? Let's go behind the counter.

You can buy Jeff Sherman behind the counter at the Westgate early in the morning. Usually rolls in about six or seven in the morning. And Jeff, thanks for jumping on your usual Tuesday spot here with us. We're going to tip it off at the prime time game of the night, Celtics at Spurs. And this game is going to tip off within 10 minutes in San Antonio. Number three and a half and Jason Tatum's back for the Boston. The Spurs are 16 or 15 to one in the last 16 games. What type of action are you seeing on Boston San Antonio? Yeah, solid action. We opened San Antonio three and a half and took some dog money on Boston to get to three. And it was there this morning and then bet up to three and a half again. It's a little bit of two way and Celtics going into this one without Peyton Pritchard and Lucie Vitches obviously out for an extended period of time. But a tremendous game and this starts it off for Boston of a two game set with at San Antonio, then at O.K.C. So we'll see what they're made of with Tatum in the lineup against these teams. Jeff, one of the stories of the league has been the Hornets. People started to think maybe they

can win around in the east or even more. They've been a freight train red hot. That has cooled off the last couple games lost to the heat and then lost Sunday to the suns. What do you like in this game tonight? If anything, laying three to Portland. And how do you just a team that goes from being form 14 perennial loser to actually being somewhat competitive? If not better and just trying to evaluate what's real and what's not in terms of their power rating? Well, this is one team that I know Matt and myself that over their season win total with anticipation of a young team getting better throughout the season. And that's just how you have to take it for the adjustment is a team that can grow and grow quickly. So, you know, you've seen that obviously in their point spreads where they're even large favorites at home against some decent teams at this point. But you're going to see fluctuations like we've seen lately too. You know, they had a big game for the division against Miami the other day. Laying seven and they lost that game. So, you know, they're going to have their growing pains with it. But we definitely have a quick adjustment for them, a team like that. You know, they still can. They get in the playoffs. They can

still be a tough first round out for a team. Warriors are playing the bulls. You check the Warriors box scores. It's a whole bunch of guys you've never heard of. They're laying six and a half. Shows you how bad Chicago is. Warriors Kirk pointed about the schedule. Curry's hurt. Tough game to handicap. How do you make this number? What'd you come to the conclusion of? And what are you looking for in this game? Yeah, it's a back-to-back set for the Warriors off their loss last night in Dremont, Greensboro. Like you said, it's a lot of players out of the line up for Golden State. But, you know, Chicago trying to do worse in Golden State. So, you know, six is a happy number for a Warriors team that played yesterday, especially in altitude at Utah. But it's not too much action at our place on this one. So we've got a lot of people staying away from that number. Minnesota laying two and a half against the Lakers. Tough matchup for the Lakers because Minnesota is young and athletic. A couple things the Lakers are not. I would imagine Lakers are a tough team to price. LeBron Lucas seems like they're always questionable.

Lakers have actually played pretty well without LeBron. What are you looking for in this one? Yeah, we had Minnesota two and they got Charlottes play all the way up to three. And then another Charlottes group took the three and we're settled at two and a half. And, you know, myself, like everyone else, is waiting for the LeBron news. And the interesting thing is when the Lakers played the next the other day, the line went up a point and a half with LeBron out. And like you mentioned, the Lakers have been better without LeBron. So, in this spot, I'm myself waiting to see if LeBron doesn't play Alina Minnesota. Minnesota is coming up a really bad home loss to Orlando on Saturday. And usually I like to bet teams off a bad loss like that to respond well, especially in this type of matchup. And if LeBron is playing, then I would definitely be I'm in Minnesota. Speaking of LeBron, he went down with that scary elbow injury last week. And, you know, when that elbow hit air and LeBron hit the floor and rolled around like his career might be over. Jeff, were you concerned? Were you concerned? We might not see LeBron again.

Yeah, terribly, you know. Well, I have a feeling next season, we're going to be seeing him in a cab jersey anyway. So, I don't know if you're going anywhere soon. Do you really think the Lakers are better without him? Because it feels like he kind of holds Austin Reeves back a little bit. Sometimes I feel like the Lakers are better with LeBron, but you watch it more. Do you do you sign off on that or not? Yeah, I do. And you see the effort, the hustle play out of the unit that's out there and just better movement on offense and LeBron at his age, you know, he's not putting the effort. The other guys are into it and it kind of drags the team down. So I definitely think that going forward LeBron isn't going to be in the picture for the Lakers next year. And they're better without him in the lineup at this point. Will, were you concerned when you saw that? Did you fear that maybe that was a career in the injury for LeBron? I did. LeBron has a lot of a lot of close encounters and that was terrifying. We all said a prayer that he would recover and appears he's going to be okay. Yeah. Fortunately, he's going to

be back and he's going to be okay. All right. So one more game to talk about tonight's card, Phoenix Milwaukee, Jeff. And the sons look like at the Superbook. They're two point favorites, total of 219. What's worth talking about in this matchup tonight? Who's going to be on the floor? Well, we opened Phoenix one and a half and it was bet down to Milwaukee. Pick them. And then now back to two on Phoenix late sharp play on Phoenix. Jordan Goodwin's in for the sons here. And Bobby Portis Jr. is out from Milwaukee. But it's it. People are really fading. Milwaukee, this point, you got Yannis back, but he's in and out of the lineup on a daily basis and just no continuity with that team. So we like I said this afternoon, we've seen sharp play on Phoenix from pick to two. Jeff, I know you're a Vegas Golden Knight season ticket holder and you follow hockey closely. Golden Knights are in Dallas tonight. And the stars are the favorites, total of six in that game. Vegas against Dallas still to go on the NHL card. I think the puck drops in that within a couple of minutes. What's your take on where the Vegas Golden Knights are

right now? Yeah, just really struggling, especially in that they didn't address that at the trade deadline. And they just they're having trouble against everybody in the league. Not just the better teams, but some of the poorer teams too. So just really struggling and on the outside looking in, I mean, you see the Colorado, Minnesota and Dallas, those seem to be the three teams from the West because the teams from the Pacific, the Knights, Edmonton, they just they don't look formidable at this point. All right, to golf now, you can follow Jeff at golf odds. And Jeff last week, the Arnold Palmer invitation or our buddy Paul Stone took a brutal beat. He had Daniel Berger at 140 to one up to with three holes to go. Berger loses in a playoff to actually Betia. And this week at the players championships, Scotty, Shuffle, or the favor, give us a big picture view of what we're going to see this week at TPC Sawgrass. Well, it's wide open tournament here, you know, Shuffleers is highest odds that we've seen probably in over a year open them at five to

one did take some play that you found a nine to two to 5,000 on them at five to one. It's a tough tournament to handicap because it's really deep. One of the stronger fields you have. And one of the things I looked at is there's a notable difference in tee times where the early late looks to have an advantage over the late early. So I was kind of looking at some golfers from that. I'm on Seawood Kim right when he came out at 30 to one. I mean, his ball strike he's been fabulous is here. I've been on him other weeks and missed out on him, but I played him at 30 to one. Hadecki at 40. He's got a solid history here at TPC Sawgrass. And I added Russell Henley at 28 to one. So I'm basically going in with Seawood Kim and Henley as my main guys. Those are the guys that I've advised for the master selections early on. You know, if you watch CBS and we all do this time here because of college tubes, you got that soft piano music and that promo for the masters coming in April. It's right around the corner. And Scotty Schuffler and Rory McRoy now where you expect them to be right now. Jeff Rory had to withdraw. He's got a bad back. Scotty looks so good early in

2026 and not so much lately. Where do you feel like those guys are now? Yeah. Well, Rory with the like you mentioned the back spasms and that's an issue. So I mean, I don't expect much from them this week. And I open them 14. I'm up to 18 to one and have really moved the matchup price on Schuffler aggressively after opening $2. It's up to $2.60. So a strong movement there. And I would I would have no problem opposing MAP Roy and matchups because he could end up trying to go and then pulling out somewhere during the tournament like we saw last week. So Schuffler, it's been like usually one round that's gotten him, but his analytical numbers are just not what we've expected out of them. But you know, he started out like you mentioned the solid win to start the season. And it's been a tough go after that. And hence you see the number four and a half to five to one. We throw a player at you who's been a little bit under the radar, but he's got all the talent in the world. Ludwig Oberg and he's around 30 25 to 30 to one this week and could play well with Augusta. Well, how do you feel about a player like that?

Yeah, you know, he was struggling for a while and he seemed to have found his form now. And I opened him a 25 this week, have taken some support down to 20. And we've already seen a lot of support from an Augustan. He's got a solid history there. It's his best major. And I was fluctuating as high as 20 to one, but I'm back to 16 for the masters for him. But he looks like he's heading with some momentum towards that. And he's always been popularly supported. And it's no difference this week. So he's right up there in the top five odds wise. And I would expect a good performance out of him. Hey, Jeff, for those who were coming to town for March Madness, and I know our buddy, Sam Paniotovitch is going to be here. What do you have set up at the Westgate in terms of watching the first, let's say two or four days of the NCAA tournament? Is the theater going to be back open? Yeah, the theater will be open. And it's just an open invitation there. And, you know, we'll have the games obviously on all the screens and a great environment. You know, I always tell people that it's better being at a sportsbook watching the four games at once than going to a game itself. You get better energy. And it's just it's tremendous. And it's our

second largest weekend of the year behind the Super Bowl. So we're really looking forward to it. I'll be over there and looking forward to it as well. By the way, we have breaking news. This via ESPN, the Raiders are claiming the Ravens are backing out of the Max Crosby trade. How about that? So we'll talk about that a little bit more after the quick break.

This is Vincent Pivetime on Vsend, the sports betting network. Big news in the NFL and obviously he's been a lot of a bit major moves here the last couple days with free agency in the legal tampering period. We've seen some star players on the move. Well, when you and I were on the air Friday night, we had the breaking news that Max Cosby was traded from the Raiders to the Ravens for two first round picks. And you said you thought both teams were one and that. I thought the Raiders got a little bit better at the deal getting two first

rounders for Cosby. A guy who's probably got a couple of good years left, but you can see the decline in the Cosby, but the Ravens wanted a big boost to their defense right away and they got it with Mad Max or so we thought. So now the news comes out. The Raiders have tweeted this. The Baltimore Ravens has backed out of our trade agreement for Max Cosby. We will have no further comment at this time. We're told the Diana Rossini is reporting that Max Cosby failed his physical with the Ravens and that's the reason why. So this is a major development here. Well, for a Raiders team that's made a bunch of moves the last couple of days and one of those moves was getting the center center Tyler Linda bomb from the Ravens. Now Max Cosby still on the Raiders hands and they're going to figure out what to do. They've got the Ravens get their two first round picks back. So what are the Raiders do next? Cosby, if you failed the physical, he could obviously pass the physical with another team, but I think I believe the Cowboys

offered two first rounders. You and I were talking about this during the break. I think the bears were in the mix offering a first and a second rounder, but it's going to be interesting to see what happens here with Max Cosby. Yeah, and the next logical question, why did he fail the physical? Is this something where doctors can often have differing opinions and look, you get out of it's hard enough for me to pick winners, sit here and talk about doctors and science and all that stuff. He's obviously out of my element, but if one team passes on him and says, you know what, he's damaged goods. We can't take a shot on him, which is what you're saying because it's not like you need him to play next week or in two weeks, but in March, the season doesn't start until September. The fact that you don't think he was going to be good in September means you have some concern about him going forward. So how did the Cowboys, the Bears, these other teams saying, I know you guys failed them. Well, we think he's perfectly fine. Boy, it could be a tough break for the Raiders, where maybe they just don't get that value back from you would think they would still look to trade them, but that is a very unusual man. You don't see this too often. Sometimes in baseball,

you see that I remember years ago Yankees traded for like Greg Vaughn and I think he failed his physical like 96, 97, something like that and that got rescinded. There's been other scents. Sometimes like a pitcher has an arm injury, something like that, but I can't remember too many instances of this and it really leaves the Raiders here trying to figure out what to do next. And you got a question here why he didn't pass and what his value is going to be going forward. It kind of pulled the rug out from underneath everyone here, but when we all assume that the trades have done deal, Max Cosby's going to Ravens. It's been talked about for a few days now. All of a sudden, both the trades off. So what do the Raiders do next? They obviously, Cosby's going to have to pass a physical with whichever team the Raiders are trying to trade them too next, whether it be the Bears or Cowboys or someone else before they can move forward with some sort of deal here. What was your read on what's happened the past couple days? What the Raiders and the Titans and some other teams have made some big moves and free agency? The Raiders look, I thought they'd be a little bit better than they were last year.

Obviously, much better than they thought were last year. I thought they'd be competitive. I don't want to fall forward again, but it looks like they're at least putting together a team that can be, I don't know, say improved because obviously they're going to be improved from the normal pick, but they added some players. They got a bunch of Georgia defenders. It's almost like the recreating Georgia from three or four years ago, which is not the worst thing to recreate. So I like what they've done. And a lot of it's going to come down to, I mean, it's simple, but if Mendoza is good, they're going to be good. If Mendoza is not, you can get all these players you want. You're going to have a hard time succeeding. But I like what the Raiders have done, what the Titans have done. It's interesting. Dable and Salah, bringing a lot of the players, they've had in the past, a lot of the players that got them fired. But if you're Dable, you know, the reason you got fired is because you had all these players with you and now you're going to bring them on with you. I thought that was interesting, but I wouldn't say anything. I've seen yet has triggered a bet or made me think, all right, I got to bet this team. They're over, they're under anything. How about you? You're good with this stuff. You'll bet it early and you've got a good eye for this. You bet the Rams last year, 30 to one, pretty early. Has anything you seen triggered a bet so far? No, nothing's triggered a bet so far. Still kind of evaluating what's

going to happen with some of these teams. I always like to watch the draft too. And I think I bet the Rams to win the Super Bowl of 30 to one last year, like the day after the draft. It might have been right around that time. You know what? I like what the 49ers did by getting Mike Evans. I think that was a positive move. Today also, by the way, the Raiders traded Geno Smith to the Jets. And the Raiders get a little bit of that money off the books, not much. They're going to pay the majority of that money for Geno. But they did find a taker for him when they send him back to New York. None of the other moves. I thought moved the needle in terms of futures or win totals or anything that I was looking to bet for sure. I feel like the bears are a little bit weaker. And I thought the bears were going to regress a little anyway. Everything kind of went their way. The last season in close games. They had a lot of lucky breaks. And I saw that the bears win total Chuck Esposito put it up at Red Rock Sportsbook nine and a half. And they lose their

pro bowl center. They lose DJ more. I've kind of downgraded the bears a little bit where that's a team I'm working to play under maybe in 2026. But no bets I made yet. Yeah, bears in the Patriots are going to be the two ones. And the Patriots have already gotten hit to the underwear. People say the schedule, the luck in the close games, more so for the bears, the luck in the close games that they're going to take a step back. If not two steps back, although I think the bears the second half of the year, they went from being lucky the first half of the year to legitimately, you know, pretty competitive. If not more than competitive, the second half of the year. And really, you know, if they go for two, who knows? Maybe they're in the NFC title game. That was kind of a coin flip game against the Rams. But I'm with you. The bears probably take a step back. Patriots probably take a step back. But I have not made any bets yet. All right. And again, if you missed it, the breaking news, the Ravens have backed out of the trade with the Raiders for Max Scrosby. So Baltimore gets its two first round picks back. Now the Raiders have Mad Max and they've got to figure out what to do with him going forward. That news just reported. The Raiders tweeted that out. And the ESPN reported the news as well.

All right. Score updates. How about the Horizon League Championship? Detroit Titans. Four point underdogs. Actually, the number closed a little bit higher. The money was against me in the market here. I took Detroit and four. And let's see. The number closed. Five, circuit closed. Five on this on right state. Now we got a lot of time left here. 14 minutes ago, but Detroit leads right state 41 to 33. And the NAAC Championship or Long Island is guaranteed the automatic bid because Mercyhurst cannot qualify for the tournament. These sharks lead the Lakers 55 53. We have a little over 10 minutes to go in that one. BYU is really bounce back. Since we trashed the Cougars, they have responded 15 minutes to go. They are up 68, 60 on K state. I think the last time we talked about this game, K state was up seven now down eight. So BYU is bounce back there. Wake Forest had a seven point lead over

Virginia Tech. And I've got Wake plus two and a half. And when you bet on bad teams, they're going to drive you crazy sometimes. I'm tired of watching Wake take bad shots and turn the ball over. Now Virginia Tech has come back to take a 44-42 lead. And we've got one more game. Where do we stand in the Hofstra game? Well, I know you've got your eyes on that one. Hofstra now trails by four. They led by three at the half, but Monmouth starts the half with like an 11-2 run to go up by seven. Hofstra has since cut it to four. So 45-41, it's basically a coin flip on the live line Hofstra minus 110 on the money line, Monmouth minus 120, total 146. So a good start for Hofstra. A rally here from Monmouth looks like we're going to come down to the wire here to determine who's close to the tournament here out of the CAA. Big 10 tournament in Chicago. I've got the purple cats on the money line on the money line Parley here tonight and paired them up with Gonzaga. Northwestern is a what they close of five or six point favorite.

Northwestern close five now up by three 32-29 at the United Center in Chicago. Purple cats got the lead on Penn State. And that one first day of many of these major conference tournaments, including the big 12 ACC, big 10. And we will not get going in the big east quite yet. But well, let's take a look at the big east bracket here. And obviously Yukon and St. John's the top two seeds. I cannot find a futures play that I thought was worthwhile here in the big east. Is there a play maybe like Seton Hall and underdog that you like yours? Anything anything that you want to predict in the big east tournament? I thought about Seton Hall just because they are motivated. They probably have to witness to get in. They play good defense. They have a coach who's had tournament success in Holloway. Yukon's way too short and way too inconsistent to think about taking them and even money. So I thought about Seton Hall not much interest in Nova, but if I had to actually bet something, I'd probably just take St. John's at plus one seven or so

because it's going to be in their building, probably going to be in the title game. And if you got St. John's Saturday night for the championship and you got him plus one 70 and they're playing in their garden and they're playing against Yukon who they're going to be looking for revenge against after that embarrassment performance a few weeks ago. I think the best values probably St. John's, although it's probably it's a little bit boring and I haven't actually bet it yet. Yeah, I looked at that last night actually when I was writing the column on V-Syn making a few bets on conference tournaments. I found St. John's at a price. Let's see. I think John's at a price of I can't find that. I think it was around plus 180 and I decided to pass on that. Yukon was a little I think plus 105. You can see the circuit numbers right there. Seton Hall at 15 to one. A little bit intriguing but a Seton Hall came up short against St. John's on Friday night and I didn't want to come back with the pirates again this week. Detroit up by 10 on right state. The top seed in the horizon league in Trump.

This is V-Syn Primetime on V-Syn, the sports betting network. Right state player blows a wide open layup foul and right state Detroit leads by 10 with 11 minutes to go in a horizon league championship. Wake Forest has come back from five down to take a 54-52 lead on Virginia Tech a lot of time left on that one. 11 minutes to go too. It feels like this Wake Virginia Tech game is going to go down to the final minute. Which would be okay with me. I got Wake plus two and a half and that one. Well, good news for you. Hofstra, back up on Ron the 51 to 47. So you got a four point lead in that game. Yeah, it's been a good game. Hofstra led for the most part of the first half led by like five or six towards the end of the first half led by three and intermission. Monmouth with a big time run to start the half goes up by about six or seven. Then it's been what it's been like a 12-all, 13-0 run, something like that for Hofstra who now leads by four. They have really turned up the

defense. The offense is going here. So we'll see here. I guess we got a delay. It looks like blood on the court there. But 51-47, 12-15 to go with a trip to the tournament on the line. And something I talked about in the first hour and for people that missed it. Hofstra has had some bad luck. I made the tournament for the last time was 2001. Since then, 2006, they're in the same conference as George Mason, George Mason, Hofstra beat in the regular season gets the bid ahead of Hofstra, which was very controversial at the time, goes all the way to the final four. Then in 2020, Hofstra finally, back in the tournament, they win the conference tournament the next day or two, the world falls apart. So Hofstra here, looking to get back in the dance with a four-point lead. All right. Let's talk about conference tournament futures best bets. And before we get to that, I want to update BYU 75-67, BYU on top, Draft King's Live Line 11 and a half. So Cougars have rebounded from that big deficit. And that one, and by the way, the Lakers and the Sharks, Long Island leads 61-57, a four and a half point favorite with seven minutes to go in the NEC

championship. Will, let's start with your conference tournament best bets. And Friday night, when we are on the show, Colby Dant made a very good case for George Mason as an underdog against St. Louis and Mason won that game in a massacre. You're playing George Mason in the A-10 tournament. That's your longest shot. Yeah. And Colby shouldn't have taken them as an underdog. Should have laid the alt line minus 20 and a half because they absolutely buried the Bill Kings by 29 points. Just a shocking square. They was 86-57. This number has come down here. You could still get 35 to one at Draft King's. I was doing the show on Sunday. I was surprised. It was 50 to one. I know they have to play an extra game, but they'll get a pretty much a layup in their first game. Then they get Dayton and then if St. Louis is still alive, they get St. Louis. But they've beaten all the best teams in this conference. They beat the top three seats. They beat VCU and St. Louis. So I think there's some value there still at the 35 to one circle, which is as we know, a sharper book is down to I think 20 to one. Some books are even a little bit lower. So I think there's some value there with with George Mason at a long number.

And you get to a title game. You can hedge, obviously. Colorado State 25 to one to win them out in West. I like the way they shoot the three. They control the pace. They were awful on Saturday, but maybe they can repay me here. And I took a shot Virginia plus 750 think they got a good path to the title game. I don't trust Duke with their injuries with their lack of motivation. So those are the three. I've got a couple else I'm thinking about, but curious what you think of my picks and what you ended up going with here. I like your George Mason play quite a bit. I looked at that last night. That's a great number of 50 to one on a team that just beat the crap out of the top seed in the conference. St. Louis and sometimes playing the extra game doesn't mean that much, right? Because you get the momentum. Well, you know, you win a game. You play a team that's been sitting around with a buy. And I like the team that gets on a roll in these tournaments and sometimes playing four games in four days. It's not a big deal, right? So George Mason, I think it's 50 to one. That's an excellent play. And we can see why the number came down in the market. Yeah. And you get familiar with the building too. You get the nerves out. You get a game under your belt. You're familiar with the shooting backdrop, which I believe the eight ten that's

bounced around. I'm drawing a blanket where it is now. I know for years it was at the Barclays, but you make a very good point. In the Mountain West, I would have considered Colorado state and probably would have made a play before what happened Saturday in four columns. I was so discouraged by the Rams performance against Boise State. That was the top consensus plan or circuit college hoops challenge. And that was a dud. Colorado State has a short home favorite against Boise. It went off pick and Boise wired a wire basically beat down the Rams. And that came and ended their eight game win streak. So I lost some of my enthusiasm for the Rams after watching that game and how poorly they played Saturday. But I can see where you and JVT are coming from there on Colorado State, 25 to one to win the Mountain West. It feels like will the Mountain West turn of its wide open, doesn't it? Yeah, I thought about Grand Canyon. I've heard people make a case for Wyoming. That's one. And hopefully just for the excitement standpoint and hope it's my team. Boise State played well here. You can make a case for a bunch of different teams, but when in doubt, just go with

the longer number. And again, I like the pace. I like the three point shooting. So look, it should be a fun tournament. I remember in years past before all these leagues expanded. This would sometimes be you get a lot of random results, a lot of upsets and some bid Steelers that last Saturday that night before the selection show to throw a wrench in the bracket. I know Colorado State was a big pick on Saturday. I'm trying to think of who your picks were. It was Colorado State on your board too. I'm trying to think what your five were. Yeah, that was the only loss I had. I went four and one and Colorado State was a loser, you know, and that was our top consensus play. And that went down on flames. And it was a pretty evident early that the Rams didn't bring it in Boise State dead. So when you look at the Mountain West, so Utah State's the favorite of plus 220. And the Aggies are fragile favorites. They just lost by 27 to UNLV in Vegas about a week ago, 92 65. UNLV's have 45 to one shot here, three and a half point favorite against Wyoming in the first round. Tomorrow at Thomas Mac, Rebels are hot, but they're also unreliable. I just don't know how you can

trust this team, but they are as hot as it gets coming into the tournament. Push San Diego State to the wire in a great game. I just watched the replay of the game again last night 89 to 86 Aztecs escaped, but the Rebels give them all they can handle in San Diego on Friday night. Grand Canyon, the third choice plus about five to one San Diego State to second choice of plus 330. The bottom half of that brackets top, bottom half of the brackets got San Diego State, Boise State, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado State. And I went with Brian Dutcher in the Aztecs, approving winners in tournament settings. They defend, they rebound, they can grind out wins, and they've had a lot of success at the Thomas Mac over the years. I don't trust any team in the Mount in the West. So I went with San Diego State of plus 340. I know a lot of people think the Rebels can make a run here. Our Boise State is worth a shot. New Mexico worth a shot. JVT mentioned Nevada. You're going to have plays all over the board here in the Mount in the West because it does

feel like a more or less a wide open tournament where you could have, I'm going to say maybe eight teams win the thing. There are four teams I'm going to say cannot win it. Wyoming, Fresno, San Jose and Air Force. The other eight teams could win them out in the West and ULOV a long shot of 50 to one. Rebels have NBA level athletes, and they're playing well. They're playing they're peaking at the right time. So if you want to take a shot of 45 to one, I'm not going to criticize that because they could get it done. I don't think they will, but that's a big number on a home team. All right, let's go take a look at the conference tournament best bets I've got up here. Will, we've got a common play on Virginia in the ACC. And this is one of the first ones. I bet last night a plus 750. And the number, I believe the draft Kings is plus 650. Circus got 750. And Caleb Foster, point guard being out for Duke is part of the reason for the play here. But not only that, Duke's short hand to do it's down to guys, including Caleb Foster.

And also will Duke does not need to win this conference tournament. Because of the blue devils head to head win against Michigan, they're going to be the number one overall seed here, no matter why. I know some people were floating the idea out there today that now with Foster injured, Duke's got to win this tournament or Michigan could be the number one overall seed. I don't see that happening because Duke's got the head to head win. Anyway, the urgency is not there for Duke. The bottom half of the bracket with Duke's a little bit tougher. And Virginia is going to get by what Miami or Louisville to get to the championship game. A plus 750. You get the calves into championship game. You're going to love your situation there. And by the way, the calves are 11 and one in the last 12 games. That one loss was a blow out to Duke. But I like their chances to get this done, especially with Duke's short handed with no urgency to win this tournament. Clemson wasn't intriguing. Long shot to me at 52 to 1. But I have not played that yet. I only played Virginia and you like the calves as well. That's your pick in the ACC.

Yeah, I thought about Clemson. I saw 40. I didn't see the 52. And we always say this, but it is worth repeating shop around, especially with this stuff. It's not uncommon. One book has 20 to 1. And you look at another book. It's 41. There's a lot of discrepancies in these numbers. And that makes all the difference in the world. Make sure you get the best number always. But especially with this stuff, what did you think the bear tweeted out when I think his tweet moved the number? I couldn't quite get there. And I missed the number. So that was an excuse for me to pass Florida State. He got it 200 to 1. He put out a tweet made a good case for it. Is there any path for that considering they played Duke close? Duke's banged up. They maybe can make a run. Did you have any thoughts about buying into that at all? I just don't like the Florida State team that much. But I mean, 201. Yeah, he take a shot on that and I can agree the size of play like that. 201. Of course, take a shot because I don't think Duke. I don't think Duke's going to approach his tournament with urgency to win it. And that's why I felt like Virginia was just a better play. If you wanted to take a small shot on Florida State, go ahead, especially at that number, right? That's why I considered Clemson in

that half of the bracket. Circuits got 52 to 1. Draft King said 41. Clemson was a long shot. I like a little bit better than Florida State. But we'll talk about that a little bit more after the break. Detroit right-state seven-point game with seven minutes to go. Wait for us up by four of Virginia Tech with eight minutes to go in the ACC first round. The Toyota Tundra and Tacoma are built to keep going, blending rugged muscle with precision engineering, all supported by Toyota's time-tested legacy of dependability.

But we'll see if Detroit turns out to be a sharp play to win the horizon league. I get a friend Ron Boyle's pro-better who played Detroit about eight to one to win that conference tournament. Right now, Titans up four was about five minutes to go. But offensive foul there in Detroit, right? States got the ball back trying to rally. Detroit had a double digit lead not too long ago. Founded in 2011, the sharp plays just completed another dominant run, including a 2025 campaign. It's all bankrolls, double 15 straight years of winning. And it's all documented records and logs posted publicly at sharpplays.com for full performance auditing. Something that separates the sharp plays from most of the rest of the betting industry. When the sharp plays moves, sportsbooks take notice, advanced AI tools, entrusted insider intelligence, identifying price value before the numbers shift. It's respected, it's watched, it's feared, start winning with them at sharpplays.com. Detroit lead down to two. Right? States got the ball back four minutes to go here, 54-52. And

this one's going down to the wire in the horizon league. How about the NEC championship? The Mercyhurst Lakers now trail by seven. The Long Island sharks up 72-65 with 140 to go in that one. Well, it looks like you're looking pretty good in the Hofstra game, right? Yeah. And I just, boy, Wright State cut it to two. So I was checking out that. But going back to Hofstra here, it is 58-52 under eight timeout. So Hofstra, a live seven and a half point favorite. It was a back and forth game, but Hofstra has taken control here. They had a pretty good lead last night. I don't know how much of the semifinal game against towns and you watched, but Hofstra let that game get away. Let it get to overtime and needed a miracle, three banked in. The game was tied. So I would have only gone to 002. So hopefully tonight they can make it a little less stressful and go to the tournament for the first time since I believe 2001 here. So Hofstra laying seven and a half and we're not quite there yet. But if it would, if this were like the three, four, five minute mark and it's a six seven point game, I would look towards a live over because we're

just talking about that. You know, during the break, that's the zone where you get a bunch of fouls at the end. And these teams just refuse to give up Michigan, Michigan State was a perfect example the other day, even though it wasn't a conference tournament game. You get that five to ten point window. Man, you can see a lot of points scored with these fouls at the end. You know, that's where every half point matters. I bet Michigan State over and I think about five in the morning, something like that plus ten and a half minus one fifteen. And the number was a ten and a lot of spots that dropped a night and a half a game time and it's bouncing. It's pin blowing from eight to ten late in the game eight to ten eight to ten Michigan State keeps fouling Michigan keeps making two free throws. And that was one of those that annoys the hell out of you at the end of a game. But we got there well 90 to 80 Michigan State falls to Michigan on Sunday afternoon. But the only the best number catches is if you had ten and a half and you got that two overnight, right? Yeah, that was a good one. I was like, you pull my hair out. Just stop foul. You're screaming at the TV. The game's over. Just walk off the court. You sit there for two and a half hours and it comes down to the end of your foul. You're not foul, but they were able to

get it. They kept scoring. They kept fouling. Sometimes in those spots, you're almost rooting for your team not to score so they just give up and they walk off the floor. But they were on the right side of it and we're able to get home. I want to go back and look, how many points do you think top of your head? I don't know the soft hand. How many points would you say we're scored in that final minute, minute and a half? About 20. Yeah. Does that sound right? Crazy. Yeah. Somewhere around there. I know that at least 20, maybe more. Because every time Michigan made two free throws, Michigan State got out and get a layup and then foul again. And well, at least we got there at the end, but that's one where the number really mattered if you're getting ten and a half instead of a nine and a half or ten with the Spartans against Wolverines. Click update here on what's going on with this BYU game. Bad news for you. Good news for Chris Bussero playing over the total and this one flying over. Talking about BYU playing no defense. We're Kansas State's running out of gas here and not able to match the Cougars score for score. How about this will?

BYU is going to blow through the hundred point mark tonight. About six and a half minutes ago, 88 to 73. The Cougars lead Kansas State. Yeah, this is a frustrating one because every time you thought, you know, felt like you're in good shape with Kansas State, they had like a six or seven point lead in the first half. You know, they fell behind, but they closed it to four or five and getting 11 and a half. All right, four or five is not that bad right up the right side of the number. Just BYU was scoring. Kansas State wasn't responding and you look up, but it's a 15 point game. So you and I are both looking to fade BYU probably in the first round of the tournament. I don't trust this team. They're defense. I don't trust them away from home, but it does look like here and they are moving on here in the big 12 tournament. How about AJ DeBanza tonight for BYU? Hopefully the top pick in the NBA draft. He's got 36 points, 14 for 20 from the field, two, three, six for seven at the line, seven rebounds, five assists, three steals. He does have five turnovers, but a 88 73 lead for a BYU over K state. We are now tied.

And the rising league title game, right states come all the way back. It was down double digits to Detroit. It's tied at 54 and Detroit turns it over right state ball looking at a meltdown and that came by Detroit Mercy. And we're coming towards the end here. Long Island has clinched the automatic birth out of the NEC. The automatic bid is going to go to the sharks. They're trying to get the cover here. They were six and a half point favorites overnight. Long Island closed. I think Long Island closed in this game of five and a half. Let's come right down to this. It's on the number as we get down to the last minutes here. Long Island actually closed four here at circa five and a half at Draft Kings and leads 77 68 with a minute to go now 77 70. So right there close to the number with a minute to go. If you get the Mercy Hurst Wakers, you need the ball to bounce your way here in the final minute. Hofstra up 61 to 56 over Monmouth with five and a half minutes to go and Wake Forest. I've got Wake

plus two and a half here. And another game is going to go to the wire. Wake up 68. That's 64. Three pointer for Virginia Tech out of the corner. So that's seven point lead. Just got chopped up for just like that with four and a half minutes to go. First round of the ACC tournament. Detroit takes a 56 54 lead over Wright State. And Wright looked like it was going to take the momentum back there. And the rising lead title game. It gave it right back to Detroit. It had the ball and a tie game. All right. Well, tonight, Wake Forest takes a seven point lead over Virginia Tech on a three with four and a half minutes to go. Tonight, Gonzaga trying to close out the, it's run of dominance in the West Coast Conference. The Zags are big favorites over Santa Clara. We think the Broncos. Most people think the Brachatologists agree. The Broncos are in the field of 68. This game tips in about say 15 minutes at the Orleans Arena in Vegas at circa Gonzaga

and eight point favorite draft Kings eight and a half total 157 and a half. I was not impressed by the way the Zags played last night. But I didn't want to bet against them tonight because I would expect the Zags to show up and play much better than they did. And I had to go, I did play this under the total of 163 overnight. So I got the best number on the total. I did not get all the best numbers on the game today. That's for sure. I got the worst of it on a couple of sides where the steam came against me. But I did get the good number on this total. Santa Clara trying to play. I'm going to say it's a game or B plus game three days in a row. The concern I have here with the Broncos will is I feel like they accomplished their goal last night. They celebrated when they beat St. Mary's. They know they're in the field of 68 now. I would expect with a conference championship on the line, you're still going to get them motivated. So I wouldn't say they're not motivated, but I share the same concerns that how many times can you play your home run game before, you know, it's like a picture. You throw eight shutout

endings. You throw eight shutout endings. Again, eventually you're going to have one of these games. We just, you know, five or six endings and you give up three or four runs to use a baseball comparison. So I would still lean towards taking the points. I haven't played it. I think that it's just very strange to see Gonzaga and St. Mary's not playing in this game. I'm with you, Santa Clara absolutely has to be in with how weak the bubble is. I'd be shocked if they're not in it. I think they probably cleared. And maybe this is the motivation tonight. Let's make sure we're not in the first four in Dayton. Let's make sure we're on the bracket of 64 where they don't screw us over and they make us play on Tuesday or Wednesday night to get in like the real tournament, which I still consider the field of 64, the real tournament, even though they all count as tournament wins. So lean towards Santa Clara ultimately pass. If you do like Santa Clara, you can't get eight and a half a draft game. Come on, man. Don't diss the first four teams are in a tournament too. Trying to reign on their parade. Hey, by the way, I did not get the best number with Detroit. I talked about that. I took four number close five here at Circa. Hopefully it doesn't matter, but I could get burned on this one. Detroit was just up double digits. Right state just

buried a three to go up 59 56 with 208 to go. Big comeback by the top seed in the horizon league. Right state now at three point lead with two to go. Well, I'll go in and up on Mercyhurst 79 70 with 20 seconds to go. Mercyhurst Lakers got the ball. They got a shot to cover a three point attempt off the rim. No good. Long Island rebounds and the sharks are going to cover and win the NEC championship. They had the automatic bid clinched anyway. I'm not sure how dangerous the sharks are going to be when they get in the 68 team field, but impressive win tonight over the Mercyhurst Lakers in the Northeastern Conference championship. In the big 10, I wanted to update this game. The Northwestern purple cats in action against Penn State. And then we're out of time. We'll update that game when we come back. It's winding down in the second half. I'm in way through the second half in Chicago. Northwestern up by six. All right, quick break. Two hours to go here on V7 Primetime. Stay tuned. V7.
