Las Vegas - When it comes to SPEED, Ecks & Bacon in your man. Why? Because my first car was a Chevy Vega, with rust holes in the floorboard, that would go 0-60 in like a WEEK! So naturally, that qualifies me to make some picks in "The Great American Race," the "Super Bowl of Stock Car Racing", or as we call it around my house, the Daytona 500. As you might expect, Eck is not gonna throw down without doing hours of research, and some sportsbook shopping. First up is Denny Hamlin.

Mike Brey, the Irish coach, comes from Coach K's tree, and should be able to handle the Blue Devils, or, at least stay close. ND has covered SIX IN A ROW, eight of the last nine, and should be MONEY!

Then it's back to Philly, where we'll drop Penn from -7 to -1 point against Brown. The Quakers have handled the Bears rather easily, winning the last five by an average of 10 points.

But the STAGGERING number is mobile, which accounted for 87% of handle.
Read MoreLas Vegas - C'mon with me for a two team 6-point teaser, starting down in Morgantown. Take West Virginia from -1 to +5 points against Kansas. Totally understand that the Jayhawks are the gold, maybe the platinum standard in the Big 12, but Huggy Bear's Mountaineers are, we looked it up, PERFECTION! They are 14-0 at home this season, and will be looking to avenge a 60-53 loss at the Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence.
