Alright fellas, it's time for Evil Monkey's Locks To Fail Friday!!
We're gonna have several repeaters here today to make up for all the near-misses this past week....but also because f*** the Vegas gods while we parlay that hatred into potentially helping Iowa basketball because f*** Indiana, and more importantly, f*** Wisconsin.
Let's go.....
Brooklyn Nets ML
Michigan -1
Info- Surely, the Nets can manage to lose back to back games against the Cavaliers after Kyrie Irving's glorious return, right?
Buffalo Sabres ML
Michigan ML
Info- This might be the sneaky pick of the night here (aka biggest one to fail). Washington has 4 key players out due to Covid, including Alex Ovechkin, and Buffalo's goalie is returning after the death of his father.
The safest play would be Wash +1.5, but we're in the business of failing, and you can't fail if you don't take risks!!!
Teaser:
Boise State -11
North Dakota State -9
South Dakota -2.5
Over 146.5 Detroit/Oakland
Info- At least one of these is likely to bomb. Usually it's the O/Us but if I had to pick the most likely team to completely spaz the f*** out and ruin my play, it would be NDSU vs Denver. As solid a low-major program as they are, they are notorious for laying absolute f***ing eggs against less-than-average competition......and that's just about exactly what Denver is. Should be fun watching that happen.
Teaser:
Mount St. Mary's -3
UC Santa Barbara -4
UC Davis -2.5
UC Irvine -5 1st Half
Info- So after reading around, I decided to do some digging on all these random California schools. This seemed like a perfect recipe for games that look like locks for the favorites only to be that one time every two weeks or so where they choke against really, really bad competition. Cal Poly- not good, CSUN- not good, UC San Diego (not the Toreros....the Tritons, yes there's two San Diegos in D1)- not good.............but will that stop any one of them from blowing up my parlay just because f*** me?
And last, but not least, we had to do it one more time, just to reiterate how serious I am about either getting paid by Michigan winning, or helping Iowa by jinxing them..........
Michigan ML
Mount St. Mary's ML
Info- After looking at the results, even though there's a high probability of a close game a second time around, it seems too good to be true that MSM would beat Central Connecticut State, a really bad team, twice in a row (they won by 10 in the first game).........so naturally we're locking in the Mountaineers for a second win!!!
You're all welcome for the money you guys are gonna get to win for picking against my bets.
