It’s not good, guys. It’s really bad.
Three days in a row of research and reasons. Three days of losses. It’s probably time to fade, and it’s probably time to stop betting against Ole Miss. Here are the best bets for Saturday Semifinal games.
Best Bets
Florida: -8
Florida/Vanderbilt: Over 159.5 Points
Darius Acuff: Over 22.5 points
Ole Miss: +9.5
Let me explain…
We should probably change the name of this section moving forward. Or, maybe the explanation just needs to be “I closed my eyes and threw darts at a wall.” I’m watered down the total picks to what I’m most confident in, and with only four teams left that feels pretty simple. What am I confident in? Florida is the best team in the conference by a good bit. Darius Acuff is the best player in America, and Ole Miss is on a warpath. Those are the four best bets for Saturday.
