NEVER, EVER bet with your heart!

Las Vegas - YUGE congrats to Cesar Romo for winning last week's MLB contest!!!
All I can do is provide you some stats for the Knicks/Cavaliers series. Why? Those who have been with Ecks & Bacon for the last 40+ years know that I never, EVER bet on or against any New York team. Call it the FOG of being a fan for over 60 years. We can tell you that the Knicks have been on an amazing spread run, covering 12 of the last 15 overall and seven of the last nine at Madison Square Garden. Cleveland has won eight of 14 so far in the playoffs straight up, and has covered seven of 14 overall. But the Cavs have covered only three of the last 12 on the road. You KNOW who I'm rooting for and you also KNOW that my wallet is shut tight for this series. See you tomorrow.
