Las Vegas- Gotta throw some cash at the Final Four, and despite making a bundle off Connecticut last weekend, we’re turning to Miami +5.5 points. You know that we love Jim Larranaga, my guy from the Bronx, and think the Hurricanes can hang with anyone. But Eck, UConn has been DESTROYING the opposition, winning and covering all four games. And the final margins of 24 points, 15 points, 23 points and 28 points have been very impressive. The Hurricanes have also pitched a PERFECTO at the Big Dance, winning and covering all four games. The only difference is the margins have been smaller (7, 16, 14 and 7 points). I like what the ’Canes have done on the road all year long, covering 10 of the last 11. Tough to buck a 91 percent cover rate. Not calling for the outright upset, but think that Miami is a gonna bark all the way to the bank. Of course, if you can, buy the hook to +6 and enjoy!

Looked at the Florida Atlantic/San Diego State matchup, and after an extensive study session, neither side spoke to my wallet, so it’ll be a pass in the early game.
