What Are Some Best Bets for This Year’s College Basketball Tourney? (2014)

ESPN.com has published a number of best bets for the 2014 Men’s College Basketball Tourney.  Expert sports handicapping picks like those found at Gambling911.com should also be compared as we never really knew ESPN to be in the sports betting business.

They like Oklahoma -4 over North Dakota.  A good bet perhaps  That’s because ESPN raw numbers have Oklahoma rated more than double that spread over NDSU. 

Other picks from ESPN.com:

VCU covers the -5.5 vs. Stephen F. Austin
Louisville beats Manhattan by more than 15.5 points.

Kansas beats Eastern Kentucky by that same number.

Arizona covers against Texas as a +2.5 dog.

The big surprise might be ESPN.com’s pick on Pittsburgh as a -5.5 favorite. 

“A lot of people are expressing surprise that No. 9 seed Pitt is this big of a favorite over No. 8 Colorado, but our combined power ratings have Pitt 7.5 points better.”

Sixers? Knicks? Who Can Challenge Boston in the East this Season?

As the new NBA season gets underway, there is most certainly a sense that the Boston Celtics are the team to beat once again. The 18-time champions really took an “if it’s not broken, don’t try to fix it” policy in the offseason, and it’s hard to argue with the tactic.
