Daily Three 1/29

  Hello,

  Yesterday we went 3-2-1, which is way better than last Saturday and also a winning day. A couple of breaks going our way, and it easily could have been a 5-1 day. Today, I just need to get this in, so the write-ups will be somewhat short. Today, we will hit an early NCAAB game and get in on the fun all star game action across two sports.

NCAAB
Michigan Wolverines at Michigan State Spartans -3

Today, the big in-state rivalry between the Wolverines and Spartans will take place. Both teams are having disappointing seasons so far. They have fairly similar Kenpom ratings with Michigan valued a little bit higher than Spartans. Most people are going to look at recent results and immediately jump on Michigan. They just demolished Indiana and made nearly every shot they took. The Spartans have lost their last three games and are starting to wonder whether their name will be called on Selection Sunday. Still, the one thing that Tom Izzo coached teams do well is win when they need to. Getting an archival in their backyard should fire up this team and maybe be the turning point we look back on in March when this team is playing into the second weekend of the tourney. Miles Bridges will ball out today and the Spartans will get a much needed victory.

Metropolitan vs Atlantic +115

 Look, all-star games are normally crapshoots. Players aren't really going full speed and although they are the ultimate competitors, they aren't going to go out of the way to harm themselves or their bodies. In this situation, I am going to try to find the best value I can. I think the Atlantic division offers it here. The Metropolitan is currently the best division in the league. Sporting the Caps, Pens, and Blue Jackets, along with other solid hockey teams, the Metro division has a pretty good chance to be the home of this year's Stanely Cup Champion. Even though their teams are superior, the top players in the division aren't that much better than the best players in the Atlantic. In fact, the Atlantic really does have a better defensive corps and also they have the best goalie in the league, Carey Price. Take the value and erase the juice with the Atlantic Division in this year's all star game.

NFL
AFC vs NFC -4

AFC quarterbacks, running backs, and receivers: Andy Dalton, Alex Smith, Ben Roethlisberger, Melvin Gordon, Demarco Murray, Jay Ajayi, TY Hilton, Emmanuel Sanders, Jarvis Landry, Demariyus Thomas

NFC quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers: Drew Brees, Kirk Cousins, Dak Prescott, Jordan Howard, Zeke, Darren Sproles, Odell Beckham Jr., Dez Bryant, Mike Evans, Larry Fitzgerald

Yeah, the NFC skill guys are much better. Take them.

Yesterday: 3-2-1
Overall: 38-27-4 ( +102 units)
