Big 10 is on tap this afternoon, and we're gonna hit Michigan State +9 over Wisconsin. State's   19-9 record does not compare to Wisky's 25-3 mark, but when Tom Izzo is drawing up Xs & Os, there's always a chance. The Spartans have won and covered four of their last five, and even when they lose, the games are competitive. The last three conference losses were by 6, 5 and 2 points. And if you're thinking that the Badgers 25-3 mark translates well to the spread charts, uh uh. Wisky has covered only five of the last 16, so we're gonna drop half a Benjamin on Michigan State.

We started out West with our biggest play, Fresno State, and the Bulldogs came through with a 59-55 victory over New Mexico. Collected a full Benj for that effort. The only blemish on the day was Syracuse as the Orange failed to cover a 13 point spread in a 73-54 loss to Duke. But  St. John's rolled past Georgetown 81-70 and Baylor rocked West Virginia, 78-66. Picked up a buck forty five on the day. After pressing the proper buttons, the calculator says that -$220 is the current CBB figure. I'M not only an ECK, I'M an APP!!!
