It was great to have March Madness, but it wasn’t the same. VCU having to forfeit a first-round game due to a COVID-19 outbreak was a brutal blow for the… Source link

After rolling of late with our game picks and predictions against the spread, Vegas put up a few traps and it was hard to avoid falling into all of them.
