Black(out) Friday

Ah the day all of the shoppers get crazy and kill each other over Christmas presents.  Tis the season.  My version of Black Friday is sitting in the bar all day, placing as many bets as possible watching the games and potentially (see likely) blacking out.  A Friday well spent in my book.  So come on in and fight the shopping madness by having a few beers with us.  If you are downtown shopping, stop by and have a Shaqburger.  Or if you have finished shopping and just want a nice cozy bar to watch the Cavaliers pummel the Bobcats, we are that too.  Either way come on down to the Clevelander and get drunk with us.

I have a million games I like today, so if I lose them all, no one is getting Christmas presents this year.  Here we go. My picks are in Bold.

UConn +3 v Duke in NYC.

Nevada +7 vs VCU

Marquette +2.5 vs Michigan

Xavier -4.5 vs Creighton

Clemson -11.5 vs Long Beach State

Siena -4.5 vs St Johns

Valparaiso pick vs Georgia Southern

Michigan State -5 vs Florida

Iowa State -8 vs St Louis

Notre Dame -7.5 vs Northwestern

Illinois -8.5 vs Utah (has Utah beaten a D-I school this year?)

Tennessee -23 vs College of Charleston

And just to continue my hot streak, a few CFB games to keep an eye on.

Favorites are in bold

Pittsburgh Panthers vs West Virginia Mountaineers in Morgantown, Mountaineer Field
Spread: pk
Pick: Pittsburgh Panthers
The Backyard Brawl is always a drunken punchfest. Even though the game is in Morgantown, I think Pitt is good enough to pull this one off today. It will be close, but Pitt has too much offense in the end. Pitt wins 42-37.
Boise State Broncos vs Nevada Wolf Pack in Boise, Bronco Stadium
O/U: 70
Pick: Under
Whenever a game seems like a lock to be a shootout, it seems to always go under. I think Boise will try to take the air out of the ball a little bit and will be able to stop Nevada a few times. Should be a good game, but Boise wins. Take the under, Boise wins 35-24.
