Inside Plays

DALLAS MAVERICKS (-3.5) @ WASHINGTON WIZARDS
The Mavericks have won 12-in-a-row, including their last two at home by almost 20 points apiece. Dallas hasn’t played since Friday and should be geared-up for the back-to-back two-game east coast trip against the Wizards and Nets. Dirk Nowitzki and Avery Johnson both have discussed their devastating disappointment over last season’s finals collapse during the past week and seem to have their squad playing at a level not normally displayed this early in the season. As for Wizards, they were blown-out by almost 20 by the Bulls in Chicago Saturday and only have one win this season against a team with a winning record (Cleveland). Washington has been a sieve on defense, led by Antwan Jamison who will be matched against Dirk most of the night, and will struggle to contain one of the deepest benches in the NBA…Mavs by 8-14 pts.

ORLANDO MAGIC (+5.5) @ SACRAMENTO KINGS
The Eastern Conference leading Magic had their 6-game winning streak snapped by the Clippers on Sunday, but are still 3-1 so far on their current West coast trip. The Magic have been led by the Man-child that is Dwight Howard (17 pts 13 reb 2 blks) and a backcourt filled will speedsters (Nelson, Arroyo, & Dooling) who are playing with remarkable consistency each night.

TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS (-5) @ LOUISIANA TECH BULLDOGS
I can’t understand why this spread is so low. While Bobby Knight’s 6-3 squad is coming off a tough loss at Stanford Sunday and hasn’t played consistently all year, the Bulldogs only win this season came against McNeese St and they’re coming off a road loss to lowly Louisiana-Lafayette whose only other win came against Ouachita…who the f*ck is Ouachita!...Red Raiders by 10-16 points

IOWA ST CYCLONES @ OHIO ST BUCKEYES (-23.5)
New headmaster Greg McDermott is going to be a great coach for the Cyclones and will definitely bring Hilton Magic back into the spotlight…but unfortunately not this year. After taking over for the Wayne “How the hell did I get this job!” Morgan, the Cyclone brass new a complete roster overhaul was necessary as Morgan’s street-crew wasn’t having the coaching change. Almost everybody transferred or declared for the draft besides Rashon Clark & Jiri Hubalek from last year’s squad, and the new style of play required from McDermott is still being implemented as the season progresses. As for the Buckeyes...

How is Greggy G just like Gilbert Arenas?
You can't stop him...you can only hope to contain him!

This is like taking candy from a baby! After covering 12 out my last 14, I’ve decided to take a break with only 3 NBA games and will be testing the college hardwood for you tonight. Don’t worry...your NBA aficionado will be back Friday with at least 4 more picks. BTW, don't forget to check-up on the updated Bowl Spectacular Standings.

PURDUE BOILERMAKERS (-5) @ INDIANA ST. SYCAMORES
Gene Keady’s successor, Matt Painter, may be the best young coach in America. The Boilermakers are 10-2 in Painter’s second year, including victories against Oklahoma and Missouri, and have had great senior leadership from Carl Landry and George Teague. As for the Sycamores, Larry Bird Jr. still hasn’t shown up…Boilermakers by 8-14 points

GREG GAMBLE’S HOOP TOTALS- NBA 37-17 ATS ; NCAA 9-8 ATS

I know Carlos...I can't believe you didn't cover either!

I need a quick bounce back after my 1-2 performance last night and I can't wait for the NBA action tonight. I'm going to the college hardwood fellas...I think you should join me. 3 NCAA plays as well as a possible rebound performance for the Jazz... www.insideplays.com

Looks like Jason Kidd's back on the Market!

Rumor has it the NBA will be switching the Jerry West logo for the NBA to a portrait of Greggy G sitting on pile of money! After a 4-1 performance last night in the association (and not counting my 0-1 result in college), I’ve decided to take my normal Thursday vacation from the NBA. Of course, I’ll probably play both NBA tilts tonight since I can’t watch a game without a little incentive, but Friday we’ve got a full slate and I still need to buy my girl a pony. In addition, I actually need to get some real work done today before I’m unemployed, but I do have one college hardwood gem for you...I know you boyz don’t trust me with the road favorites, but you just can’t teach a Homedogg new tricks…www.insideplays.com

I told these girls I love the Shockers (Wichita St.) tonight...I think they thought I meant something else!

Who else gives out FREE 6-team parlays, who else gives you daily up-dates on your favorite porn-starts, and who else can say they’re 32 frickin’-games over .500…Say it with me: IN GREG GAMBLE I TRUST!!! What a beautiful evening last night, no west coast game to keep me up and a White Russian that tasted so much sweeter because I realized I could actually afford real Kaluha. Now before I break-down tonight’s college action, I need a favor from you guys. This site will only get better (injury-alerts, spread-movements, new BYOB strip-clubs, etc.) if I can hand my boss a two-week notice and put all my time into degenerative investigation habits. So as my boy Jerry McGuire once said: “Help-me…Help-you!” Get your boyz to check out the site, tell them to sign-up for the free newsletter, and let them know there are no-strings attached…just like the underwear you bought your girl with all the money Greggy G’s made ya.

Alright, enough shameless plugs…lets jump into some picks. As always with Thursdays, the NBA has only two games so I’m going with a fun college trend tonight on all my plays. While playing on the road in-conference always spells trouble for the favorites on their first trip of the year, I believe the second road trip for conference leaders is much easier and the spread is always lower as Vegas knows the gamblers got killed earlier on this trend. Tonight, I’m only taking conference leaders on the road against the bottom feeders at the mid-major level…with a spread of 5 or lower. You know why…because I can! And get ready for Friday boys, the NBA guru will be back and so will a late night of my girl wondering why we’re watching the 4th quarter of a blow-out between the Buck n Sonics…www.insideplays.com.

What most gaming sites find appealing...

What Greggy G and Co. find appealing...
IF YOU DON'T KNOW...NOW YOU KNOW" B.I.G.

With a piss poor 3-2 performance last night, I was only able to buy a carton of Newports, a bag of Funjuns, and a Diet Rockstar with my winnings this morning (The staple breakfast of an ATS baller)...but I'm breaking records today Homeboyz with 7 picks. While I know most of you love my Association plays over the collegiate hardwood, I’m starting you off today with a couple NCAA gems. I’ve got 4 of the top 6 teams in the nation (we shall call them the Vanessa Marcil's) going on the road to play squads that have some hype but lack any true substance (we shall call them the Lindsey Lohan’s). I also have some NBA luv for ya...so don’t fret young degenerates and get ready to watch your bankroll rise…www.insideplays.com

Tar Heels -2 is like taking Candy from a hot chick!

North Carolina Tar Heels (-2) @ Arizona Wildcats
I think the Wildcats are overrated and I think the Tar Heels have the potential to win the National Title again this year. Zona's five starters are solid, but they don't have the depth Roy Williams has with at least 9 future NBA players on his roster ...North Carolina by 6-12 points

Check back this afternoon for some NBA luv...Drink heavy boyz!

Football is still a week away Fellaz...It's Roundball time!

Chi-Town seemed to shutdown this weekend as Da Bears fans wait in anticipation for their special day. You know what’s a special day for Greggy G? When the Hokies go on the road to play the Yellow Jackets and it’s in HD on Fox Sports Net! While I cooked up some smokies and mixed-up some Mai Tai’s, nobody show-up for my Sunday Funday Party…but that didn’t stop me from rolling up a 5-2 record yesterday. And of course I needed it after my sub-par performance last week, but hey, even Spud Webb had few games without an assist. Tonight, I’m not loving much on the NBA hardwood, but there looks to be some easy choices at the college level. I feel like telling you I’ve won 4 in-a-row on NCAA…but you guys know that cause you be reading www.insideplays.com every M*tha F*ckin Day!

While this picture is not from the Super Bowl...
...it reminds me of it!

I’ve been writing all season that Rex Grossman is a bum…a short, slow bum with small hands! I know Da Bear defense was easier to move the ball on then trying to move around at our kick-ass party on Saturday…but please don’t try to convince me that Sexy Rexy is ever going to be the answer. BTW…besides picking winners, I also spend my off-time making wads of cash for my Homeboy’s bar! I’ve got a new special for the Clybar…it’s called hang out with Greg Gamble and Adam Orvi. Anywho, I’m having trouble focusing today after the weekend extravaganza but I do have a few picks for ya. Thanks again for all the Tequila shots this weekend and to the half dozen people that come-up to me asking if I knew who Greg Gamble was! If you don’t know…now you know

The NBA action is pretty thin tonight...
...but tomorrow it seems like the bank is open!

Damn it's cold...I'm stuck at a Panera trying to finish my picture research for today, but for some reason it won't let me log onto my own site! Something about: "not allowed/not safe"...I wonder why? Anyway, it's still damn cold and there is too much NBA luv tomorrow to even touch tonight's professional action (except for maybe one game)...but of course I'll be messing around with some late-night west-coast collegiate stuff to pass the time...Shoot me a comment on my picks below, I'm off to a Chinese Tea Hall to see if I can load up www.insideplays.com...Picture me frozen'

Without the Landlord in the middle...

...the Dukies are in trouble

Nothing’s worse than having Portland cover in regulation only to lose in OT…that’s like the feeling you get when you’re ready to sip a cold beer and next thing you know you’re hacking-up chew-spit! Oh well, I’m still waiting for my mid-season hot-streak to rally the troops and tonight there seems to be a gem sitting there for us. While everybody has more love for my NBA than my NCAA…that UNC/ Duke contest seems like easy pick’ens tonight. I’ve got 3 college and 3 pro on the docket, and while it’s still cold as hell in Chi-Town, a nice pile of money will make me feel like I’m back in Tijuana looking for a nice girl to watch Rivalry Week with!

Of course I'd watch Sleepless in Seattle with you!

This is going to be quick fellaz, I've got my lady's family staying at our place this weekend...I guess they've never heard of a hotel. Not a great evening last night, and not because I was stuck watching "Sleepless in M*ther F*ckin Seattle" instead of the Bulls game. After a whirlwind of victories this week, the gamblin gods put a roofie in my cocktail last night. As always though, I'm showin' them I'm committed to my craft so check out my 4 college plays today...and check back later for my NBA action. The write-ups will be brief, because I think her mom wants to watch "You've got God Damn Mail" and I need to find an excuse to get out the house...HOLLA

The NBA sucks tonight...
...but I'll always like college (azz)

I'm drunk so just trust me on these bets...

BUTLER BULLDOGS (-4.5) @ WRIGHT STATE RAIDERS
I like the Bulldogs by more than 5 and my friend from High School played football there

XAVIER MUSKETEERS (-1.5) @ GEORGE WASHINGTON COLONIALS
GW is getting good spreads because of last year...and Xavier starts with an X

AKRON ZIPS (-1.5) @ TOLEDO (Rockets I think?)
I like the dude Dru Joyce on the Zips

The Raptors have been a Greggy G staple...

...and will be again tonight!

Just like last week, Mon. & Tues. had slim pick’ins, but Wednesday we rolled-up smoother than Heather Graham in Boogie Nights (5-1). By the way, Happy V-Day to you all and make sure your girl’s liquored-up and passed out by the West Coast start times. Looks like the pony I put on layaway for the lady is not going to make it here by tonight, but I’ve got a great picture of the Black Stallion to show her and hope to have it trotting in by the weekend. Let’s hit’em up tonight as there’s more college action going down than a slumber party with the Tri-Delts!

Yeah...whatever Timmy Homoway

...I hear you hate Greg Gamble as well!

Well…the All-Star break is here, and I think Greggy G needs a little NBA vacation to regroup the troops and find the magic that has turned more average than Punky Brewster as the years have past. I’ve got my crack production staff in Vegas this weekend looking for the inside scoop, while my gambletron 3000 while be virus checked as if it were a groupie on All-Star weekend. But of course we’ve got plenty of college action this weekend and I’ll be chillin at the crib as Mr. Gamble has stainless-steel being delivered baby, …oh yeah, those December and January roundball investments have paid off, and now I just need to find the love to turn February’s investments into a diamond-incrusted Quisinart. To get it started, I’ve got a two picks for yeah today…One on ESPN2, and one Ivy League gem!

Now that the Zags Center is out...
...I heard he gave all his shiznit to his pets!

TEXAS A&M AGGIES (-2.5) @ OKLAHOMA SOONERS
As a Cyclone grad, I watched the Sooners lose to an undermanned and pretty lousy Iowa St. squad just a few day after they barely pulled off a victory at Baylor. As for Aggies, they are the real frickin' deal and in their last two Big 12 road contests they beat Nebraska by double digits and shocked the Jayhawks. While they lost on a last second shot by Texas Tech this week, they actually played pretty well and I expect them to bounce back...Aggies by 6-12 points

MEMPHIS TIGERS (-4) @ GONZAGA BULLDOGS
The 22-3 #9 Tigers have quietly been climbing the polls all season and are on a 14-game win streak where most of them haven't been close. As for the Zig-Zags, they were finally looking somewhat average this season and then lost their star power forward Josh Heytvelt (16 ppg 8 rpg) and only low-post threat when he was arrested with the evil weed and magic mushrooms (I want to party this cat!). In their first tough contest without him, they lost by double digits at home to Santa Clara. Overall, Memphis has too much athleticism for the Bulldogs and are much too talented down-low for this to be very close...Tigers by 7-13 points

FLORIDA GATORS (-6) @ VANDERBILT COMMODORES
During the #1 Gators 17 game winning streak, they've always seem to dominate following a sloppy performance. Against Alabama on V-Day (no, not the day you took a freshman to the senior prom) the Gators were down 18 points in the first half before deciding to dominate the rest of the contest and eventually won by 9. While Vanderbilt has been pretty solid at home this season and played the Gators tough on the road a couple weeks ago (Florida won by 10), I just think the Gators are due to hand-out a nice azz kickin'...Gators by 8-14 points

...I've got three games for ya Homeboyz. Check em' out, IT"S PAYDAY!

While Sir Charles can't do this anymore...
...at least he beat that old dude in a race this weekend

Betting the over in the All-star game is like watching a Funyuns Eating competition with a bunch of stoners…it’s just too much fun! As for the college hardwood, lots of nail-bitters this weekend and it looks like teams are starting to get more desperate than Brittany Spears publicist as the NCAA tournament draws near. We’re back on the NBA beat tomorrow and I’m stoked for the second half. Many of the teams that are out of it start to play the youngsters, while teams jockeying for playoff positions seem to eliminate careless mistakes…and more importantly, the road starts to become easier than Jenna Jameson at a pool party in Cali for the all the big-dogs. Until then, we’re rolling with 3 college plays tonight…and of course more than half of them are on TV.

Greggy G has found plenty of mismatches this week!

Well, I survived another Bachelor Party and was able to enjoy myself a little more thanks to a profitable evening Friday in the NBA. Of course, I was well-behaved and only donated money to the phenomenal dancing style of a young lady named ONYX for my friends and was able to fight-down plenty of Well-Vodka and Red Bull to make the pony-tailed male bartender ask if I always keep my eyes closed when ordering at the bar. But enough about our weekend, it’s back to the ATS grind and I’ve got a feeling I’m due for a huge week…Let’s make it Rain!

My 3-0 NBA and 0-1 NCAA performance last night helped validate my “Hate-Mail”, or as we call it here at the Greggy G Mothership: “Tim Hardaway Mail”, because every degenerate insists I should disband the NCAA selections from my picks (NBA 88-69 ATS; NCAA 50-52 ATS). To the millions who agree with the Hardaway Mail…screw you and get your own website! All the losing record in the NCAA means to me is that I’ll be doubling-up all my plays from here on out, because I’m a finisher like Asia Carrera and will cap this season with plenty of Happy Endings. Much love to the Hornets for finally draining some FTs and giving me the 30 second backend cover. The run has started fellaz and I feel like A.C. Green after playing 6 seasons and staying away from all the groupie temptations…so fresh and so clean and ready for a long-run!

Now listen…I’ll take the blow-out lose by my Hometown Bulls in stride, but watching the Wizards lose to the Hawks, after being up double digits in the 3rd quarter (with the ATL boyz playing without Joe Johnson), made me sicker than watching Tonya Harding bounce around in a home-video. If I hadn’t found out about Kobe & Carmelo were a DNP later in the day, I would have had to call in sick today to head to the lil’ swimmers donation bank for some weekend money. Not much NBA action tonight, but of course I’ll be playing one of the two on the slate…and throw in a few NCAA plays to make the day more interesting.

Before we get to my NBA Magic, I present to you my NCAA tourney Cinderella special! Just like Paris’s used and abused kitty, it’s not hard to try to score with the fav…but tell me how you actually got some action from a female bballer and you’ll be my hero. While I’ve got chalk winning the final game, check out my bracket busters that probably won’t win…but if they do, you’ll hear me braggin more than a frat boy after a house party!

Elite Eight Sleeper #1: Of the #1’s, Ohio St is going down faster than Pamela A stuck on yacht with a rockstar. In both my brackets, I’ve got Ohio St. losing in round 2 to either Xavier or BYU. With a handful of freshman on the Buckeyes, I have a feeling a team like Xavier who has a veteran starting five, some decent size, and a phenomenal coach can shock Thad Matta the way Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey’s break-up shocked my world. Following that, it would be easy to say that Tennessee would then slide into the Elite Eight against an overconfident Xavier squad, but I’ve got the super senior Long Beach St. Homeboyz making Snoop Dogg proud and not only beating Bruce Peal and Virginia…but also the Xavier/BYU winner. Yeah, I’m crazy…crazy like my boy Wilt Chamberlain used to be on a night off!

Elite Eight Sleeper #2: All prognosticators and fans agree that nobody is playing better than the Gators…which means they’ll be astonished like J-Lo was to here Benny Boston whispering sweet-nothings into the ear of a stripper. I’m predicting a bad shooting night for Green and Humphrey in the Elite Eight and the Ducks or Fighting Irish to catch fire for the upset victory. In the mind of Greggy G, the Pac-10 has the best opportunity to surprise some teams throughout the tourney…and why not bet on the Duck or the Beaver!

BIG-TIME 1st Round Upsets (…that won’t win you the tourney pool, but will give you the same feeling as sleeping with a fat chick…really rewarding at the time!):

#13 Holy Cross over #4 Southern Illinois – The Salukis have been awesome, but are not very deep and hardly ever won by a wide-margin this year. In addition, I have a feeling the potential 2nd round match-up with Bruce Webber may be on their mind. As for Holy Cross, they can shoot the rock, have some size, and are morally strong like Greggy G!

#12 Long Beach St over #5 Tennessee – I hate Bruce Pearl and luv Snoop Dogg

#11 Stanford over #6 Louisville – Smart kids who are 7-foot are tough to beat.

Chalk Championship: Jayhawks over the Tar Heels

I’ll have more info as the tourney rolls on, but as always and more importantly…here are my money plays and money pics!

Admit it fellaz, you were telling your friends about Greggy G as Xavier was up 10 with only a few minutes to go. As with most tourney games, I didn’t invest…but was more disappointed than Onterrio Smith was when he found out there wasn’t a return policy on the Whizzinator. Oh well, I’ve still got 7 of 8 Elite Eight teams alive (damn you LBST!) and West Virginia is still my lock to win the NIT. As for tonight, the pickings are slimmer than at Old Country Buffet after the Purdue Cheerleaders have finished their mid-afternoon snack, but I’ve got a pretty sweet picture to use…so I’ve got to find something to wager on. Only 2 garbage games on the professional level tonight, so I don’t know if I’ll be wastin’ my time with those…but I do know one thing: It Ain’t Eazzzy being Greggy G…will I see the penitentiary or will I stay free!

Once again, I gave you both SU winners last night, and today it's no different...I have the Tigers beating the Buckeyes and I've got the Jayhawks over the Bruins!

NEW JERSEY NETS (-3) @ CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
The Nets sucked it up last night, and need this one badly today...Nets by 6-12 points

If you haven’t noticed, the great Greggy G has covered 6 in-a-row and needs just one more win to get back to 30 games over .500. As a result, Vegas has ordered the professional hardwood to take a night off so they can re-evaluate how keep me from pulling an Ocean’s 11 on them. Luckily, we’ve got the National Championship game tonight, as well as the opening of the MLB season…and yes, I do partake in the strange world of baseball lines. It’s kind of like trying to figure out what you’re watching with the “Straight of the Boat” Asian Adult films...lots of strange faces, noises, and equipment, but still worth a small investment. While my White Sox have the Southside faithful worried with plenty of new faces in the rotation and the bullpen, I can’t be happier that the first Sox player we’ll see at the plate is none other than the great Pablo Ozuna…by far my favorite player on the diamond even though he doesn’t really have a position. As for the Cubbies, and as much as I hate to say it, they look like the real deal and should keep the short-shorts and tight tank-tanks all over Wrigleyville this summer. I also have to give them some props for sending Mark “crabby-injured-pants” Prior to Triple-A…what a bum. But enough about the MLB, we got a national title tilt tonight and a picture that may be my hottest one yet. Dollar, Dollar, Bill Y’all!

What's up fellas! game started a little slow for the Colts and never really got going for the Saints. That Saints defense is bad....really bad. They have a lot of work to do. Anyway....GG will be back tonight and will have your college football picks up early Saturday morning so definitely stop back for that. I do have one baseball pick for ya.......

Have you seen Teasin' T-Bone, we want to play with his round balls!!

Let this be the first time that my mind has fully transitioned from the pigskin to the roundball. I have been quietly watching a couple sleeper teams play some damn good ball. There are four teams that I am going to be watching all year, maybe you should too.
1. Arizona Wildcats—With Lute announcing he is taking a year off, and not really giving a reason, they only thing I see happening in Tucson is unmotivated players and poor coaching, I am almost always going to go against them ATS this year.
2. St. Marys Gaels—This St. Marys team is the Gonzaga of 5 years ago, BTW they already put it to the Zags this season as well. They are high scoring and dominate the defensive boards. Nothing fits into a running teams style better than having their opponent run the court, throw up a shot in 10 seconds, and shut em down one-and-done style.
3. Drake Bulldogs—They are sitting quietly at 7-1 with their only loss being at the hand of, you guessed it, the St Marys Gaels. Drake has a kid named Korver that is as pure a shooter as his older brother and a strong Junior class that is their foundation. Watch them ATS on the road.
4. Butler Bulldogs—I’m watching Butler simply because I think their run last year will wear off when they get into conference play road games. They have a new coach that will win them some games, but I just don’t see the magic I saw last year. I am against the Bulldogs ATS on the road all year long.

Now lets get to today’s action.

Yet another weekend of pre-conference college hoops, although this isn’t the most exciting time for roundball fans, it is an absolute goldmine for a guy like me that has dollar signs for pupils. Vegas hasn’t found the sleepers yet and there are plenty of lines that just don’t seem well thought out. With that said, gently place your drink in your left hand, the mouse in your right and check out the scantily clad ladies cuz they are smokin’ today my friends. Just imagine if you could actually touch one of them.....

FYI, not that it's been helpful lately, but Greggy G luvs NJ Nets (-3) @ Gotham against Isiah's band-of-bums! Trust me, you won't feel as nervous takin' his pick after rollin' with mine today...

Today, I bring you my face, my degenerative addictions, and my winnas...as always, drink in left, mouse in right!

It’s all college hoops today fellas, and I’m spreading the luv across many conferences as we start to dig into who will be the powerhouses and who will be the bottom dwellers. I know I’m focusing on the round ball today, mainly cause I’m a boob man, but don’t forget about the NFL. I am declaring January as the official whiskey and rocks month, so grab one and begin your slow drink cause it’s sports all day long. Good luck fellas.

It's as simple as two little words...SUNDAY FUNDAY BEEAAATCHES!

It’s Sunday Funday again, and if you can look past Eli and LT there are some good things happening on the hardcourt again. I posted a nice day yesterday which gives me the flexibility for an extra game or two, or a new pony for my little one….I’m thinkin’ the game cause if I win I can buy up a thoroughbred!! Good luck on this fine Sunday Funday.

Another weekend is upon us and we have officially put an end to the painstakingly long bowl games. The hardcourt continues to treat me well, and with Greggy G’s ATS luv in NBA action I’m starting to walk with a limp again from all this damn lettuce in my pocket. There are a lot of games in all sports today so stay focused and stay light cuz doubling up with half your bank roll is always less stressful than the whole damn thing on a Saturday. Good Luck Homeys!

The action is a little bit on the light side for little boys hoops, so this may be a good day to diversify your funds a little bit. While going 3 for 4 yesterday on insideplays.com, I managed to sneak in a mid-day drunken 5 team parlay that left me one team short(f*ckin’ Hawkeyes beating MSU w/ 8 walk-ons) and even steven with my fun money account. So the only way to cure that is to study harder and find that hidden gem, which I have today so keep reading!

ATS – Yesterday: 2-3…I told you the Bulls were great!
Overall – CBB: 14-11 NBA: 54-55 NFL: 22-20

After all these years, he still has the passion!

MARQUETTE WARRIORS @ LOUISVILLE CARDS (-2.5)
The Cardinals finally have a healthy roster as 6-11 Sr. David Padgett & 6-8 Sr. Juan Palacios have returned and given an already strong frontcourt the depth it needs to make a run at a Big East title. In their absence, the glass-cleaning aficionados Jr. Terrance Williams (12 ppg, 8 rpg, 4 apg), So. Earl Clark (11 ppg, 10 rpg, 2 bpg), & So. Derrick Caracter (11 ppg, 7 rpg, 2 bpg) were able to further develop their game. Following a surprising loss to Cincinnati as Coach Pitino toyed with his new rotation on New Year’s Day, Louisville bounced back with impressive road victories at Rutgers & Kentucky, and soundly beat a better than advertised West Virginia squad at home. As for the Warriors...

First I need to congratulate my homey Greggy G for rollin’ deep on the NBA last night, a perfect 3-0 night going into the weekend is one of the best gambling highs in the world. Secondly, there are a ton of college hoops tilts today and even a couple that are already meeting for the 2nd time in conference play which makes T-Bone look even closer. Have fun today fellas cause I am simply going to build from what the godfather Greggy G has started!

Let me start this weekend by posting my props to Greggy G on a great last 7 days(12-6, was 11-2). The man is on fire and showing us that last years record of 50 games above .500 in the NBA was not a fluke. As for me, I fell asleep during the front half of the week and decided to start riding Dr. Gamble on Thursday night….needless to say Sharky has more of my lettuce than I would like this morning. So focus is needed today, and I have found some lines that leave me scratchin’ my head. And don’t forget that January was dedicated as whiskey & rocks month, so make this last weekend worth it. Good luck today my fellow fanatics!

Yesterday was a 3 for 4 day and with a lighter selection today I am focusing on one major matchup so enjoy and make sure your Sunday Funday will be as good as mine!

ATS WED: 2-1…I wish I had the ballz to double-up on NEB
ATS Overall – NBA: 67-63 CBB: 20-16 NFL: 22-20
TEASIN’ T-BONE’S WEEKEND – 4-1 ATS…Much Luv Homeboy!

While she's representing the wrong Arizona school for my pick, the rumor is she bought the camera in Northern Arizona

N. ARIZONA LUMBERJACKS (-1.5) @ N. COLORADO BEARS
While most of you probably don’t know much about the hardwood tendencies of Northern Zona or Colorado…that’s why the pay me the big-bucks here at IP.com. The Lumberjacks sit at 6-2 in the mighty-Big Sky with possibly the most unheralded big-man in the country in 6-9 Sr. Kyle Landry (17 ppg, 8 rpg, & 58-fg%). What’s even more surprising for this baby-major is that they have another frontcourt behemoth to cover his back (6-10 Sr. McCurdy 7 ppg, & 6 rpg). Throw-in a starting veteran backcourt (Jr. Josh Wilson 12 ppg, 6 apg, 49-fg% & Sr. Nathan Geiser 10 ppg 43-3pt%) that should be extra focused after losing their last road-contest (which has them tied for 1st now) and I can’t see how they fall to the lowly, undersized Bears. Speaking of the Da Bear, they’re 2-6 in the frickin’ Big Sky, so let’s face it, the hood on the Northside of Colorado just ain’t representing. So write it down, take a picture, I don’t give a Kobe Tai…Lumberjacks roll by 6-10

Want some more picks and HOT pics...

I have officially reached a new all time low, fortunately it has to do with my degenerative ways and not my picks(or pics). It is officially 4:14am on Saturday and I can’t friggin’ sleep. I awoke this morning with what felt like a railroad spike in my head(never mix keg beer with mixers), and I immediately thought of one thing….I can try to go back to sleep for another couple hours or I can get in front of the computer and get 3 hours of gambling/sports knowledge in my head while the family is sleeping. You can see what I chose. I will need your complete focus on the hardcourt today, my friends, just pretend that the pigskin thing happening tomorrow is fake, much like 80% of the tata’s that you see on insideplays.com. I bring you winna’s this fine Saturday, and winna’s bring lettuce which means you can upgrade to the $10 bottle of wine for your lady. Make sure that you check back a couple times this weekend cuz we will be giving an in depth analysis on Sunday Funday and this thing called the Superbowl. Good Luck!

LAST SATURDAY 4-1
SEASON 26-13

Gentlemen, today I bring you some volunteers, all male cheerleaders, a little Hawkeye/Gopher showdown, and the infamous Cougars, except this time they are on the hardcourt and not lookin' for some younger men in a trashy bar. Just click below for all the free winners you could ask for. Have fun today and keep coming back to IS.com to help pad that pocket to support your other degenerative habits!

YESTERDAY: (2-2)
SEASON: (NCAA 28-15)

After all that work yesterday I ended up paying Sharky some juice. The only thing better than watching the hardcourt and winnin’ is…watching the hardcourt and just paying juice. With the shortage in college hoops today I’m gonna bring you two ATS winners and no teasers, and both of them will be good games to watch. So click below to check out the free picks & pics, and don’t forget to tune in tomorrow for Greggy G. Good luck today fellas!

I may be a little off-kilter, but my picks ain't as crazy as this pink haired mommy!

ATS HOOPS Overall – CBB: 24-19 NBA: 70-72
