Just like we do during the college football season, here’s the drill.
Without looking at what the actual lines are, I take a guess on what the initial lines are going to be, only this time it’s for the NCAA Tournament. The real lines are added after they come out.
It’s not like I’m necessarily right or wrong either way – certainly when it comes to basketball – but the goal is to see just how close to the pin the initial knee-jerk perceptions are.
