Bet on coaches who have high ATS (against the spread) records in the NCAA Tournament

How about coaches' records against the spread in the tournament? You know, I look at a team like Syracuse... But USC's head coach, Andy Enfield, you remember him back at Florida Gulf Coast, 7-0 all time against the spread in the tournament. 7-0.

While Andy Enfield was 7-0 ATS at this point, he eventually lost a game against the spread, but the theory of following tournament-proficient coaches is a standard gambling strategy.

Mitch Trubisky will rehab his image in Buffalo and get another starting opportunity next year

If [Mitch Trubisky] spends a year as Josh Allen's backup, I think that the negative media around Mitch will dissipate. And then next year, he will be a name where it's kind of the Jameis Winston. It's like, oh, well, let's give him a try. He was a top pick. He was a No. 2 pick.

Trubisky spent 2021 as a backup in Buffalo and was signed as the starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022.

The NFC East is going to be dangerous this year

The entire NFC East is getting dangerous. The Beast, baby... We're Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. You guys all laughed at us last year. Now we're about to just flip out and shoot everybody.

The division was significantly better in 2021, though PFT's extreme delivery is satirical.

Streaming services have just become a more expensive version of the traditional cable package

I can't believe no one is making a big stink about the fact that cord cutting, oh, I can cut all my costs. Now you just have to buy all of the streaming services, which is exactly what cable was... Now I have Amazon Prime. I have Hulu. I have Netflix. I have Disney Plus. And then you look at it all and you're like, wait, I just have a cable package.

This is a subjective opinion on value, though widely shared by consumers and market analysts since 2021.

UConn will beat Illinois in a very close Final Four game

There's more trust for me in what UConn does... I believe UConn wins a really, really close game.

UConn beat Illinois 71-62 in the Final Four, but the 9-point margin was not 'very close.'

Arizona will beat Michigan in the Final Four

I favor Arizona. I believe Arizona can frustrate Michigan offensively... My favorite thing about Arizona is they don't care who scores. Whether it's Bradley or breweries... they're both really capable of a tidal wave.

Arizona lost to Michigan 73-91 in the Final Four.

Take the under in Arizona-Michigan — football stadium plus poor three-point shooting teams means a low-scoring game

Both teams get a lot of easy offense off their defense. Who has the bigger spurts in that? And they're not great three-point shooting teams, and now you're going into a football stadium. I think you gotta take the under.

Arizona-Michigan totaled 164 points (91-73), going well OVER the 157.5 line. Michigan shot 12-of-27 from three.
