Clays Plays 3/29

This has been a tough stretch for me. I have not posted much the past week because these March Madness games have just been impossible to predict. I am back though, and it is time to get back to the winning ways. Winning starts today with this parlay. Overall Record: 61-37

Parlay:

Arkansas +9 (-150)

Houston ML (-350)

UCLA +8.5 (-150)

Avalanche ML (-355)

Golden Knights -1.5 (+120)

Analysis:

Arkansas likely won’t win this game against Baylor, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t gonna be close. Arkansas has made it this far for a reason, and I expect this game to be a battle. A single digit loss or win by Arkansas is a likely outcome in my opinion.

Houston will face Oregon State tonight in their Elite 8 matchup. Nobody expected Oregon State to come this far, but here they are. I think their dream run ends tonight against Houston. Houston’s defense is just too good, as we saw against Syracuse last round. I think Houston wins this one and likely covers, but not gonna risk that.

UCLA is another team we did not see coming this far, but they are playing great basketball. I have really enjoyed watching this team, and hope they can win this game. I think a win is not out of the question for UCLA considering how they just played against a dangerous Bama team, but regardless it should be within 8.5 points.

Avalanche are super hot, despite losing 2 of their last 3. They were an OT loss to Vegas away from sweeping that short series. They should handle the Ducks at home without issue tonight.

Golden Knights have been playing great all year, and I do not expect that to end tonight, at home against the Kings. If all goes as it should, Vegas should definitely come out of this game covering the spread
