Make extra $$$ during 'Madness'

Okay, so I've sat around all weekend watching the NCAA tournament and I think I'll do you all a favour and share with you some of the knowledge I have gained. 

Here's a preview of the next round and some smart wagers to make if you need some extra cash for the upcoming summer.

Syracuse +1 over Oklahoma
So I've gone from thinking that this Syracuse team is lousy and overrated to being a complete believe after watching them perform in the first two rounds of the tournament. Their shooters are as good as anyone and Flynn is a playmaker. Arizona State was a good team and the 'Cuse took care of them with ease. Devendorf and Rautins can shoot and seem to be just warming up, while Onuaku is strong inside and has a soft touch. I think Syracuse takes care of business against a thin Oklahoma team that needs Blake Griffin to do everything for them in order to win.

Villanova vs. Duke over 148
These teams can both shoot the lights out. Villanova's got multiple threats, with Reynolds, Stokes, Fisher and Cunningham inside. Duke has Singler, Henderson and Scheyer. Some deadly shooters that should be firing on all cylinders in this one. Hit the first half over too if you want to make even more money.

Missouri vs. Memphis over 139
This is a low total for two teams that have a ton of weapons. Missouri gets more three pointers up than any other team left in the tourney, while Memphis has got athletes that can nail jumpers or get lay-ups whenever they decide to take the ball to the rim. Look for this game to easily go over the posted total of 139.

Memphis -5 over Missouri
Missouri can shoot, but look for Memphis' athleticism to be too much for Mizzou to handle. Tyreke Evans, Anderson, Dozier and Taggart should control the game from inside the three point line. When the Memphis defence tightens, Missouri should miss some shots and Memphis will pull away.

Look for more info and leans later on in the week.
