Picking Every NIT/NCAA Tourny Game vs Spread

[Tanko]

Since I'm reviewing every game looking for edges, I might as well make a pick and track each one to see how it goes. I'm not betting all these plays. These are just my read after looking each one of them over. Several are a toss-ups IMO but, we'll force a pick.

Plays that are bet will be tracked in my CBB thread (if I bet them, I'll try to remember to note them here too).

Lets see how well we can do making picks vs the spread on every game in both tournys.
Hopefully, we end up above the line.

3/17/26
First half of today's card.

• NC St. Pick
• UNLV +3
• Wyoming +7
• Stephen F Austin +7.5
• St. Thomas +2.5

Leaning heavy into the road dogs in NIT to start. Not sure that's a good thing.
I have to say, after looking at most of these, there is nothing that stands out as PICK THIS ONE.
Probably going with SFA +7.5 as an actual bet. Will post in my CBB thread if I do.

Make it easier on yourself just take every underdog spread

Might do that on a few 15 or 16 seeds for sure JJ.

I don’t like this strategy JJ. Sounds like a good way to light your money on fire.

Second half of today's card.

• UNC Willmington +5
• George Mason -3
• Okla St. -7
• UMBC +1 (Betting this one)
• Auburn -18

Like the UMBC play. I realize its the opposite of LTprofits play but, got to go with what I see.

Might be. Then again if we don't go 0-82 posting these it could be a nightmare.

A thread to shine, or a thread to fade. But let's manifest the good side.

• St Louis +2.5
• St. Mary's -3 (I bet this one -108 BM)

• Ohio St. -2.5

Not going to lie. This is incredibly hard on a few of these picks.
Tough to make a decision sometimes. Its like a coin toss on the spreads.

3/20/26

• Santa Clara +3.5 (I bet this -112 BM)
• Nova +2 ( Bet this -111 BM)
• Clemson +2
• Miami FL -1.5 (I bet this -108 BM)
• UCLA -5.5
• Tex Tech -8
• St. Johns -10
• Bama -11.5
• Cal Baptist +14.5 (I bet this -113 Bet105)
• Wright St. +18.5 (I bet this -112 Bet105)
• Tenn St. +24.5
• Queens +25.5
• Furman +21
• Long Island +31

The last 4 are really crap shoots. Hoping the Favs go easy and rest in the game. Also, one or the other teams involved is slower tempo.

Still missing two plays for the 20th. Waiting on Wednesday games to be complete to get those plays.

Kind of numb right now after capping 48 games all day.

 

[theriver55]

^ some of those handicaps had to be of the short track variety though. 48 games is too many to cap. LOL.
