So to get us started, some brief noise on the "First Four" games (an abominable idea - are you Facebook-pissed about Joseph Kony? Act like a grown up and direct your anger toward something appropriate, like the "First Four" shit circus) ... the Vegas lines seem right on, so far, although there's a chance Cal is underrated. Lamar was probably undervalued until ESPN took a dump on everyone's weekend by trying to make the Knight family look like college basketball's emotional martyrs, which is such a fucking joke I can't even fathom how to mock it. Whatever. Fuck you, ESPN. Favorites are underlined, hopefully (since the whole point of this worthless exercise is to make sure that kind of shit works):
Lamar v. Vermont
Vegas: 3
Massey: 3
KenPom: 2.5
Both of these teams are probably way better than people think, but still not good.
Cal v. South Florida
Vegas: 2
Massey: 1
KenPom: 4.5
Since I've been accused of blowing Pomeroy's numbers, I'll probably run this in favor of Cal. Maybe I'll even wear the Cal sweatshirt I stole from a girl in college! She never touched my penis either way.
BYU v. Iona
Vegas: 2
Massey: 1
KenPom: 1.5
Number of times Iona's outrageously good KenPom stats were mistaken by me for Iowa: 40949040
WKU v. MVSU
Vegas: 4.5
Massey: 5 (rounded, likely)
KenPom: 4.5
If possible, I would vote on this game finishing at exactly 4.5. Also I love March Madness and watched like 17 championship games, and had to look up what the MVSU acronym stood for. Jesus Christ.
Also, this may or may not be relevant to gambling (IT IS), but it's definitely relevant to my Opening Weekend:
