It's easier said than done.

Going all-in doesn't guarantee you anything, yeah it's appealing if you have someone like Brady on your team, but for the rest, it's unnecessary risk.

The SB champs Rams with all their moves and trades...barely pulled off a win against a second-year QB coming off a serious injury with a rookie WR and horrendous O-line.

Maybe the Titans didn't in fact miss their chance to make some moves that could have put them over the hump while Brown was on that friendly rookie contract, but strapping $25mil a year to a WR whose TDs basically halved last season (dudes like Callaway and Osborn finished with more TDs) and then trying to sign people is near damn impossible....don't get me wrong, i'm not saying the Titans won't miss Brown.

Btw, this is the Titans' first-round pick Treylon Burks, AJ Brown 2.0?

∆ J. Tatum 4+ ast / J. Brown 15+ pts / J. Brown 1+ steal / G. Williams 1+ 3pt @2.07 ∆ X

Tatum averaged nearly 30 points per game for the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs against BKN. I believe the Bucks have taken note and will try to limit him to some extent, possibly by double-teaming/trapping, which is why i chose his assist over points. Tatum is averaging over 4 assists per game this season and over 7 assists in the playoffs.

18+ FGA for J. Brown in the series against BKN and he has scored well over 20 points in each of the 4 games. If the Bucks' defense is centered around on stopping Tatum, players like Brown and Smart will benefit from more open shots and driving lanes to exploit. I'm also expecting Brown to record at least one steal, after all, he had seven in the first two home games against the Nets.

G. Williams is sneakily giving Boston solid minutes (around 30) as a starter. I'm sure he'll get a few open corner 3pt looks today, all he has to do is hit one. In the series against BKN, he averaged 2 3-pointers made per game.

I'm not sure the Titans could have given AJ Brown the contract he wanted and what he ultimately received from the Eagles, especially since Tannehill is due $38 mil this year.

You just can't pay everyone up, similar to Tyreek Hill and the Chiefs earlier this offseason.

Anyways, maybe it's just me but i'm not high on the Eagles at all, i don't care which receivers Hurts has available, he just can't throw...


It appears Marquise Brown asked to be traded:

Good draft so far for the Jets, Giants, and Lions, love their picks.

Bilbao - Atl. Madrid
1. Match line - Away
2. Both to score - Yes
3. Number of yellow cards in the game - 4-5

Milan - Fiorentina
1. Match line - Home
2. Both to score - Yes
3. Number of yellow cards in the game - 3 and under


Tie breaker: 25' minute

∆ P. Siakam 30+ PRA / P. Siakam 5+ assists / OG Anunoby 1+ steal @1.83 ∆  won

Siakam has covered the 30 PRA line in 4 of the 5 games against Philadelphia so far in the series, and that number has soared to more than 40 in the last two (the game in which FVV got injured and played limited time, and the game after that in which he didn't play at all, FVV will not play in GM 6).
Toronto might have figured out what the key to this series is, and that's to relentlessly attack the paint. In GM 5, they scored more than half of their total points in the paint, mostly off Siakam PnRs and ISOs. Doc was so pissed in the 4Q that he had his team play zone lol, but it didn't work. If the Raptors continue to attack the middle, they have a good chance of forcing a GM 7. Raptors starters will almost certainly get 40+ minutes again. I'm also adding an OG steal to my ticket, he and Barnes guarded Maxey and Harden for the majority of GM 5 and did an excellent job, combined for 5 steals. OG has had at least one steal in 4 of the 5 games.

Game 1:  18'  2-2 Draw
Game 2:  18'  2-1 Arsenal
Game 3:  18'  1-1 Draw

Those three postponed matches from the 20th round turned out to be so unpredictable, seems like only Trofo picked up a point from the Atalanta/Torino match.

Handanovic being injured for Inter might cost them the Scudetto in the end, what a mistake from their backup goalkeeper Radu for Bologna's winning goal.  

Milan now only needs 10 points from the remaining four games to win Serie A, there is even room for a slight misstep...Inter really should not have lost this one.

How good was week 2, did you watch anything?

Did they remove that shaky drone cam footage completely? I watched a bit from the Breakers and Bandits game and saw a proper skycam installed, they must have had bad feedback to make the change, better that way though. This dude, Jonathan Adams, man...he had some unbelievable catches/plays:

👀The NFL DRAFT is in two days! 👀

Dipo has been fine and injury-free for quite some time now. He just isn't in the Heat rotation, which is why you don't see him play as often. With Lowry and Butler out though, i'm sure he'll get some playing time today...not an upgrade, but rather a necessity.

∆ M. Strus 20+ PRA / M. Strus 2+ 3pt made @1.82 ∆ won

Max Strus is my pick for the day, he has the third-best +/- in the playoffs (not in the Atlanta series, but overall), better even than Jimmy Butler's +/-.

With a shortened rotation, he'll almost certainly see 35+ minutes unless the Hawks are blown out by 20 points again, or if he gets into early foul trouble (let's hope not lol). He is also Miami's second-leading scorer, trailing only Butler, averaging over three 3-pointers made. I'm expecting a big game from him, he's also shown that he can score more with Butler and Lowry unavailable, has gone over 20 points multiple times this season.

Davide Nicola has the opportunity to do something in Serie A that i don't believe has ever been done before, keeping three different teams from relegation in three consecutive years.

He took over as Genoa manager 4 months into the 19/20 season when the team was at the bottom of the table with very few points, and Genoa avoided relegation.

Last year, Torino was in the bottom three i believe, playing uninspiring football with no end in sight, but Nicola managed to turn things around and retain the team spot in Serie A.

Now, Salernitana has three straight wins out of nowhere, and the remaining fixtures aren't too bad either, with Venezia, Cagliari, and Udinese at home, and Atalanta and Empoli on the road. If in fact, Salernitana manages to avoid relegation, he can truly be called an escape artist (which is something the media has been calling him for a while).

I've got the same bet as the one in game 3, minus Gobert's rebounds...D. Mitchell 25+ pts / B. Bogdanovic 25+ PRA @1.68 X

What i said the other day is still valid, Bogdanovic has been consistent throughout the series, with Mitchell getting the bulk of the shots on offense, really not worried about those two.

Though if Utah wants to turn things around they need to stop giving wide-open 3s to guys like Kleber and Bertans, one of the keys to this game:

Luka is set to return today... 👀

∆ D. Mitchell 25+ pts / B. Bogdanovic 25+ PRA / R. Gobert 12+ rebounds @2.23 ∆ X

I don't think Donovan Mitchell will score less than 25 points in any of the remaining games in this series, 20+ shots per game guaranteed. He is the obvious number one option on offense for Utah, plus Mavs don't have anyone who can lock him up straight up, and i doubt they will start triple-teaming him as the Celtics are doing with KD.

Bogdanovic has been extremely solid in the first two games, averaging around 25 PPG on 57% shooting and close to 18 FGA. Utah doesn't run any plays for O'Neale and Gobert and Conley seem to be struggling, thus Bogey and Mitchell will get all of the action of offense. Bogdanovic had 35 PRA in game 1 and 30 in game 2, hope he won't have any trouble topping 25 today.

Gobert had 17 rebounds in both games 1 and 2, i can hardly see anyone who can match with him on the boards, he might get 12 by the end of the FH.

Inter - Roma
1. Match line - Away
2. Both to score - Yes
3. Number of yellow cards in the game - 6 and over

Lazio - Milan
1. Match line - Away
2. Both to score - Yes
3. Number of yellow cards in the game - 4-5


Tie breaker: 24' minute

When it comes to those middle-of-the-table teams who have nothing to play for the rest of the season, there are no "safe" picks. I know firsthand since i nearly blew a 30-point lead at the top last year while trying to follow logic and play it safe, the last few rounds were all mental. Word of advice, if you still have a chance at any of the prize spots, don't trust any of the teams placed 9-15, like seriously, don't!

The odds for Salernitana to win were dropping all day, i didn't have the balls to go with anything more than 1-1 for our pool, well....betbuilder was a different story:



I'm not saying Udinese did em' a favor (i did not watch the whole match), but a 93-min 3-on-1 counter-attack seems odd, to say the least.

The NFL Draft is coming up soon, so there's a good chance we'll get a new Multi-Master within the next few days (Draft dates: Thursday, April 28 - Saturday, April 30).

If my memory serves me well, we didn't get one last year, but there was a multi-master for the 2020 draft. The last March Madness MM came out of nowhere, with little to no time to prepare, scout teams, etc. We now have more than a week to look over mock drafts, projections, analyze prospects, and determine what type of players different NFL teams need to draft.

I could see questions like this being added to the MM: First overall pick? / First offensive lineman drafted? / First wide receiver drafted? ...and so on.

You can check NFL Outrights here: https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/american-football/usa/nfl/nfl-22-23-61dca455fbfcc87e169be44d

Again, nothing official yet because no announcement has been made, but i'd say we'll get one 99.9%

Game 1:  28'  1-1 Draw
Game 2:  28'  1-0 São Paulo FC
Game 3:  28'  1-1 Draw

∆ J. Butler 1+ steal / T. Herro 20+ PRA / Heat ML @2.00 ∆ won (4FTs in the final 40 seconds for Herro lol)

Jimmy Butler had two steals in the first six minutes of game 1 leading both teams with 3 total, possibly the best on-ball defender (along with Lowry) on that current Miami team, has had at least one steal in 9/L10.

T. Herro had an off shooting night with just 6 points (3/11 and zero 3pt made), not to mention that he played around 10 minutes less than what he usually gets, other than that he has covered the 20+ PRA line in 10/L10 (excluding the game with ATL over the weekend). I won't be surprised if he goes for 20+ pts alone, the over on his total points (O18.5) is extremely popular around the NBA betting community today.

I can't see anything other than Heat comfortably winning game 2. I doubt that Young will go again 1/12 from the field, but they are still without Capela, Collins is working his way up after an injury, and Bogdanovic was visibly bothered by his ankle, not sure if he even plays in gm2.
