My normal advice would to not bet this weekend. Don’t do it — especially before knowing every teams’ situation since the late games have some large dependencies on the early game results. The problem is that I am two games below .500 and we have to get to at least .500. Last year, it was a 59-59-2 finish. This year the standings currently sit at 55-57-2.

The problem is that isn’t a win. Let’s say we put a unit on every bet — a unit is your standard bet and it can be $5 or $500 — then we’d lose the vig or 10 percent. A $100 wager on every bet would mean down at least $570. That’s not the case since we had some big moneyline underdogs hit and a parlay here and there. We’ll be using units next year.

As usual, the home teams are in CAPS, and we are using Bet MGM for our odds. Games will be listed at -110 unless denoted otherwise.

Let’s get to it.
