More college basketball futures while our MLB moneylines try to get to 3–0.
NCAA Tournament Probabilities: UConn, Purdue, and…Duke?
With Houston gone and tomorrow’s matchup favorable, Duke steps into the third chair.
Joe’s Notes: LeBron James and the USC Job
Surely not…right? Also: The Hubert Davis era finally begins in Chapel Hill, Iowa State sadness, and Justin Steele’s hamstring.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, March 29th
After a good day of baseball and a bad night of college hoops, we take another hack.
Today’s Best Bets: Thursday, March 28th
An Opening Day moneyline, Sweet Sixteen picks, and futures in both sports.

How much will the New England crowd help the Huskies?
Today’s Best Bets: Wednesday, March 27th
Picks for the last two NIT quarterfinals.
Joe’s Notes: Pat Kelsey Can Be a Good Fit, If Louisville Fans Will Let Him
Meeting expectations and doing well are two different things. Also: What if Josh Schertz stays? Did Boras fumble the Montgomery bag? And Charlie Baker takes on player props.
Today’s Best Bets: Tuesday, March 26th
Picks for the NIT quarterfinals, plus an NIT future.
Joe’s Notes: For Dusty May…What About Indiana?
Like it or not, questions about Bloomington accompany Michigan’s new head coach. Also: Washington State hits an inflection point, SMU might be stupid, and the NFL’s weeknight march should go slowly.
Tournament Probabilities: Was the ACC Undervalued?
Plus: UConn’s clearer path, Houston treading water, and a new NIT favorite.
The Tournament Isn’t Chalky Yet: Today’s Chaos Likelihood, Yesterday’s Games

Today’s Best Bets: Saturday, March 23rd
Six picks against the spread, ten more futures. Big day for the portfolios.
Joe’s Notes: The Real Problem for John Calipari
The youth thing might be an issue. But it isn’t the main one. Also: Fixing replay review, Washington State in the clutch, and more thoughts on all of yesterday’s games.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, March 22nd
An embarrassing moneyline parlay, Nebrasketball, and ten more futures.
Joe’s Notes: The Most Desperate Teams in the NCAA Tournament
Plenty of teams want a Final Four. Only one needs that championship more than the rest. And it’s not Purdue. Also: Conference correlation, the three Ohtani possibilities, and Otz vs. the Jacks.
