This is Dan Patrick takes a game. Gambling was something that I did a clever way to circumvent Dan actually making bets himself by using a proxy, and I became consumed by it and now joined by bad Larry and Dylan the graphics guy. Here's Dan Patrick. Hello Dan, Hi Larry, Hi Larry. Once again. Uh, we have moved on from the NFL season, and Larry was slightly better than Dylan for the NFL season, but we've taken away the units, so no units will be in March badness. It's just
you guys picking. How about seven of your best bets for the opening games? Is that is that good? Dylan? That sounds good? Okay, okay, all right, I'll start with Dylan and uh, your best bets starting with So starting off, we got number twelve Richmond plus ten and a half against number five Iowa in there, all right, Io, would I would dominate it at the end. They want eight of their last nine games the end of the regular season,
so I'm kind of an Iowa hitter for some reason. Okay, And everyone seems pretty high on they won the Big Ten and the Big Ten had an unbelievable They got what nine schools in the in the term. But everyone's yeah Keegan Murray. I think, yeah, Kegan Murray's good, but he's not even the best player at IOWA. It's Caitlyn Clark, Yeah, Sana, Okay. What else do you have? Um? I got number ten at San Francisco plus one and a half against number
seven Mary State. Okay. San Francisco hadn't been in the tournament since ninteen ninety eight, so it's nice to I grew up bad, Larry, and I remember when Bill Cartwright was at San Francisco. Yeah, and you go back even with Bill Russell. Yeah, alright, what else you have? Um? I got number four U c l A minus thirteen half against number thirteen Akron okay. And number seven Michigan State my just one against number ten Davidson. This is for Ray. He's a big Michigan State fan. Yeah, but
nobody cares that Ray. You're not betting going? Oh who does Ray? Like he's the interne That was like a tertiary reason, but I figured out, you know, I'd throw him about. Yeah, great, um And then we got number nine TCU as a pick him against number eight Seaton Hall. All right, TCU second time in the tournament in twenty years. They're pretty solid this year. And then I've got number twelve Richmond money line against number five Iowa. Really like Richmond.
I do like Richmond. I don't really know why, but I do. Okay, we know about the five seeds, five seeds against twelve seeds. And then another money line dog number eleven Iowa State against number six l s U Iowa State straight up plus one sixty. Okay. Iowa State started out twelve and oh end of the year winning eight, going eight and twelve. Yeah, great, but that thanks for telling me it's not great to go eight and twelve to end the regular season. Thank you. It's not terrible. Yeah, alright,
bad lay, what are we starting with? Okay, well, you want to limit me to seven, I'm gonna get rid of my Providence game. No, no, you can go if you've got eight strong ones, and that's fine. You don't have to do. You know whatever you got right now? Then I gotta go. I'm taking the Providence and minus two and a half against South Dakota State. I know they can shoot threes and all that stuff. We're gonna beat them. So Providence minus stone half bad Larry went
to Providence. I got Providence minus two. Okay, yeah, well you always think there's a conspiracy theory that we look at your bets and then we always make them tougher on you. I'm in Coral Gables, Florida. The girls are in some botanical gardens. I'm sitting outside in the eighty degree heat. So go easy on me. Are you having a beer and not yet? I rolled right after this show. Seaton Hall minus the one and a half against TCU.
I got him as a pick him. Oh man, Okay, now I think I'm getting No, I'm just going with the we go with DraftKings. That's all TCU in the tournament. Uh for the second times in twenty years. So and so Providence Seaton Hall. I want the under in the Providence game one and a half or one nine and a half? No, not seen Hall game the Providence game that can Okay, that's one nine and a half. Okay, right, so under Providence, then I want to the Zags then
three and a half against Georgia State. Okay, Kentucky minus seventeen and a half against St. Peter's. By the way, Georgia is not great against the spread in n c A a tournament action, just that they have a losing mark against the spread, just letting you know if that Georgia State does, uh no, Gonzaga does. Oh I think said Georgia. Yeah, gonna be a little too tough for them. Okay.
And then you got Kentucky minus eighteen. Okay, I can St. Peter Little Jersey City School, but I thought a Mommoth was going to win that conference in Mommoth was gonna go. So I'll bet against St. Peter. Then I'm gonna take Duke Mines eighteen against cal State full of him. Okay. And then there's a little stretch here, but I'm gonna take Tennessee minus to sixteen and a half. Longwood, it's seventeen and a half. Cancel Tennessee. Good because I've added
a couple one more after that. Cancel Tennessee. Okay, all right, what is the under in the Yale Purdue game is We're gonna have to look it up. This is, you know, aut a left field here, lair. Okay, that's good, Sorry about that. I'm gonna take the under in the produce. I mean, the only way you can stay anywhere near the game. We gotta slow it down. I got Yale getting sixteen and a half, but I don't have an over under it. Okay, all right, and that'll wrap up
my picks for this first round. Well from the first round, these are your best bets, you and Dylan. You guys are gonna pick all of the games against the spread against the spread, all right, So that'll be on the website as well. Uh, you guys have national title picks? Yeah? I do. Okay, who do you have? Lair? I think we should go final four. I got Conservo, used to l A, Tennessee and all Burn in my final four, was Gonzaga and all Burn in the semifinal game and
Acts finally winning one. All right, I got them winning the title plus three. D Dylan, um my final four? Well, so okay, I have U c l A winning the title? Wow? Okay, um my final four? I believe I had had U c l A, Gonzaga, UM Tennessee and Kansas. Okay, so you just up my final four and then just throw
in the one number one seed out of that. That's how out of the Midwest I would Actually I do want to add one more bet for this week, and this is gonna be a direct shot at Larry and I actually have them as part of my against the spread picks for the first round. I want to add South Dakota State plus two against problems. I knew, I knew where you were. Like it? I like it? Yeah, I mean, how does get that? I mean we're a
four seed. It's a weird South Dakota State is there's a second like the top the next one to go? Other teams receiving votes, Yeah, there's there's twenty seventh ranked team in the country. Well, the four seas flying. I think your performance in the Big East Tournament knocked you down. Yeah, embarrassing was that layer? That was horrible? Absolutely horrible. And Province does not have a great track record in the tournament as of late. No, Well, Marvin took us to
the final four. Billy Donovan took us to the final four. They're pretty good track records well when they get there, but they they're not always in the tournament. It was alive we were, and I guarantee that was alive, there wouldn't be nine. Then I think they kill this, Yeah, but they never the big ten teams there's always a ton of them, and then they never do anything, and don't worry about them. You're good. Yeah, them're gonna win four.
I'm gonna lose another prediction. All right, So all of the bets the first thirty two games, you guys are going to bet against the spread, and we'll do that for the rounds following, and then we'll basically, you know, we'll see where our record and shakes out for those and then you know, money line beds and over unders and stuff. Okay, so I have it all kind of okay, okay, and they'll I will send you my um. I just
fell a graphic. I get a bunch of people who want me to sell out their brackets form um I will send you Larry, Larry, you don't do anything. You're making it sound like you're so busy when you don't have a job. And people, I'm not real technical savvy. You know. I'm in the hotel. I couldn't even get on the internet to load. Are these people paying you to fill out their brackets for? These? Are friends? There? I do this stuff for friends. Maybe I'll have you
thought mine. I will send you in my bracket and then Bill and I will circle up the winner against the spread. Okay, the brackets already sold out. But I'll take a picture of that. I know how to take pictures and send it, so I'll do that for you. All right, all right, well, good luck Clair, thanks for joining us. I don't know where to go. I'm in Florida.
