CAL (+250) over Duke Blue Devils---------When Duke wins, they often win by a lot.....they have wins by 32 against North Carolina and 35 against (now discredited) Gonzaga and 18 against Virginia and 21 against Iowa State.......so I'm just playing the juice here for the win. Duke does have losses to a few teams currently on their way to tournament elimination(Wisconsin, Maryland and GTech).......and they've also lost to (discredited) Georgetown. Altho Duke did kick Pine Bluff's ass.......you cant really say the ACC has done much better than mediocre in this tournament. Clearly, the Beijing orange sandstorm has attempted to flip the script a bit(we'll give the Devil his due with the Boilermakers, ok?) and with the Icelandic volcano........well, lava is orange-ish. While Cal has the right names, I just cant feel any of these Duke names at all; and with the Pac-10 having succeeded so far..........this juice looks good and, in Duke, enough weakness can be seen to bet against. Cal has gone 1-2 vs Washington this year and been crushed by Syracuse(a good team) and by (discredited) Kansas. However, the team they just beat, Louisville, has beaten Syracuse twice. Hopefully, the post-equinoctial period will bring out the best in Cal.(Lose 68-53.....not even close; what a tragedy)

GONZAGA +7 over Syracuse(Lose 87-65)
GONZAGA (+250) over Syracuse--------Admittedly, the orange sandstorm in Beijing yesterday should have been heeded as Tennessee overcame BCLI's bet on Ohio. However, with this juice and the knowledge that Syracuse has 1 loss to Georgetown and 2 losses to Louisville(now discredited Big East teams), I'll bet on the luck and the notion that anything can happen in an equinoctial 'March Madness' time zone.(Lose 87-65........what a fraud this Gonzaga team has turned out to be!!)

PURDUE BOILERMAKERS +2 over Texas A & M Aggies---------Tx AM has the +ATS and is 11-6 ATS on the road but they've lost twice to the (discredited) Kansas Jayhawks. VOLCANO IN ICELAND..........BOILERMAKERS......? Right? Hummel is out for Purdue, but he's still an official member of the team, right? Purdue's double-J is hot and they have a Moore and Jackson. Tx AM may be good, but has the Big 12 impressed outside of Kansas State? Not really.(Win 63-61........Chris Kramer 17 pts)
