His GIR have gone down each day this week only hitting 8 on Saturday. I look for the pressure to get to him I say Kuchar takes this at -12. Think Perez and Na could both make a push too.

SFTC Picks for Friday 3/28

Monthly Path(104-65)
34 or fewer
Sigma Olomouc
Nice
Michigan
Louisville


I'll try to update picks if they add more which I bet they will..If i dont update the monthly path my advice is just roll with the higher percentages to play it safe.



910 34 or fewer- If you follow me on twitter you saw that I came out and said Kuchar is going to win this tournament. If you didnt now you are aware of the fact that Kuchar is my pick. Kuchar has finished in the top 20 each of the past 3 years at playing in this tournament. It fits his game well. That being said one of the things that I felt would give Kuchar an edge would be this early tee time on Tuesday. Thought I would be happy with Kuchar shooting a -1 or an E today. I felt this would be a day that Kuchar could make a move. I slightly lean on the 34 with some easier holes on the back 9 with 2 par 5s. But given how the scores arent low on this course I wouldnt be totally shocked if he didnt get it. Par on the back 9 is at 36 and even for a great golfer like Kuchar thats tough to do. My reasoning for this pick is generally the day 2 hole placements are usually easier and this is what the pick could come down to. I'll take my chance at the end of the month with Kuchar. Confidence:3

100 Sigma Olomouc- Confidence:1

310 20 or fewer- Confidence:2

330 Nice - Confidence:2

700 Pittsburgh Penguins- Guins 4-0 against the CBJS this year. Back to back game with no Malkin. Fleury should be in net I'll take my chances here. Confidence:2

700 Philadelphia Flyers- Confidence:3

715 Michigan- They really havent been challenged to this point in the tournament but I think they still win. Even though this Tenn team is much better than an ordinary 11 seed. Confidence:2

727 Connecticut- game is a toss up. i just dont trust ISU after Niang is done for the year. Confidence:1

950 Louisville - They have yet to play really well to this point in the season. But this line is way to low in my opinion. Its only there because Kentucky won earlier in the year. Not really sure who covers Randle but I think Louisville finds a way to get a win here. I have to trust the team that won it all last year. Confidence:5

1000 Virginia- another toss up. Confidence:1

Wednesday, March 26, 2014

SFTC Picks for Thursday 3/27

Monthly Path(100-63)
Phil Mickelson
Serena wins 2-0
Alexandr Dolgopolov
Any other first set
Baylor
Florida/San Diego St




900 Phil Mickelson - Confidence:2

1205 Washington Nationals- Confidence:3

110 Serena wins 2-0 - Would hate to pick this on a decent streak because it comes down to will Serena want to win 2-0. I'll take my chances that she does though. Confidence:3

315  Alexandr Dolgopolov- Think he makes this match a good one wouldnt be shocked if he won. Confidence:4

345 Inter Milan- Confidence:2

700 LA Kings- Confidence:2

700 New Jersey Devils- Confidence:2

700 Detroit Red Wings- Confidence:1

700 Boston  Bruins- Confidence:3

710 Any other- Not confident in this. I mean its really 2-4 have a really good chance of hitting. Maybe an outside chance he gets 5. I think 4 is the number though. Confidence:1

715 Dayton- Funny how this might be one of the best games this weekend. Could see why people would think Daytons luck could have run out. I just think Dayton plays a deeper team that spreads the ball around offensively. Too many times I've watched Stanford lose a close game because their best player in Powell gets in foul trouble. Confidence:1

747 Baylor- I dont have anything against Wisconsin I just dont think they are that good. Think Austin and Jefferson could give Wisconsin trouble down low. Confidence:2

800 Milwaukee Bucks- Confidence:1

830 LA Clippers- Confidence:2

945 Florida- UCLA matches up pretty well against them and could play at their tempo. But I'll my chances that my prediction for who is going to win the national champion wins here. Plus they have been the best team in the nation for over a month. Confidence:4

1020 San Diego ST- Think this game will be really low scoring. Zona could really shut down Thames and could pull away late in this game but I have think San Diego ST makes this close. Confidence:3

845 Chelsea- Confidence:2

1215 Florida winning margin-  I dont consider Pitt to be a great 3 pt shooting team. I was really impressed with the way they handled Colorado. Will be interesting if Zanna will be able Florida front line. Pitt runs their offense through Patterson. I think Prather and Finney Smith are good defensively and can match up pretty well against Patterson. Confidence:2

Anzhi Makhachkala
Torino

4 favorites
Kevin Durant
Thunder
LA Kings


Dedicating a lot of my research to NCAA tournament. Tons of soccer so far on Monday.



1100 Anzhi Makhachkala- Confidence:3

103 St. Louis Cardinals - Projected starters for those who are interested in this pick is Shelby Miller vs John Lackey. Confidence:1

200 Torino- Confidence:2

400 Udinese- Confidence:1

500 athletic bilbao- Confidence:1

700 The 4 favorites-I cant really sit here and say I follow womens basketball, but I follow it enough with SFTC to have a good idea for the better teams. Uconn and notre dame seem like locks since they are undefeated. Stanford is the clear number 3 favorite because they are the only team from the west coast. So it comes down to the final number 1. There are really only 2 teams that I think could get this in Tenn or Louisville. I just think Tenn is the way more deserving team when you look at their resumes. Tenn is and was the best team in the SEC. When I see Louisville it looks like they have 3 loses in a weak schedule. Even though 2 of those loses were to Uconn and the other to a good Kentucky team it just doesnt seem like they beat anyone good. Will be interesting to see if any odds come out on this I would expect they do but it might be later. I will try to tweet out before 7 if I find any but I really like this pick. I hope this is basically a free green for people to watch the selection show.  Confidence:5

705 Charlotte Bobcats- Confidence:3

735 Brooklyn Nets- Confidence:4

735 Tampa Bay Lightning- Confidence:2

810 Oklahoma City Thunder- game is a toss up for me. Might give a little more confidence to the Thunder if Westbrook plays. Confidence:1

811 Kevin Durant- Probably wouldnt but this pick higher than 3 just because the Bulls are good defensively and Durants road splits are a little low. But pick could depend on whether Westbrook plays. Confidence:2

930 Thunder- Thunder are 1 of the best 3rd quarter teams this year against the worst this year in the Bulls. Bulls have been playing well offensively the last couple games especially in the 3rd quarter. Confidence:2

1035 LA Kings- Confidence:4

1040 Nuggets 3 pointers- Confidence:3

510 Novak Djokovic- Could be a little tired after a tough matchup against Isner but I'll Novak over everyone except Nadal. Confidence:4

600 Yes both get in- The bubble this year is pretty weak compared to other years. I think there is a pretty good chance both of these teams get in. Granted they'll probably be 2 of the last 4 in but I think they both get it. Looking at the other teams on the Bubble there are really only 3 teams I could see that they might put ahead of them and they are Missouri, Minnesota and NC ST. But Ill take BYU and Nebraska over those 3. Confidence:4

100 Virginia- Maybe Pitt will burn me for the third day in a row. But I think outside of Patterson and Zanna this team is not very good. Sure some of the players are role players and young. But some of the criticism has to be taken to Dixon who I have said time and time again over the last couple of years that I think he is not a good coach at all. And to my point how could you almost blow a 20 point lead by a crappy 1-2-2 press. I think that has to fall on Dixon for not being able to put his players in the right spot. The thing that I love about Virginia is they play their style of game and dictate the pace. They play a physical game and do the little things well. I think that is a huge difference between what UNC couldnt do today. Pitt got a huge lead earlier because of 2nd chance points and because UNC didnt have an answer for Zanna. I think Virginia wins this game because they want to be a 1 seed and they feel they have a shot if they win this tournament. I cant see Pitt winning again. Confidence:5

930 Marquette- Big game for both teams here. Xavier is probably already in the tournament and maybe the biggest concern for them going forward could be if Stainbrook isnt able to play. That could mean the committee could see this team is not really that good without him and might take them out. I think the loss of Stainbrook does a couple of differnt things for Marquette. It means their big guys should have decent games here. I also think it allows Marquette to focus more on Semaj on the offensive end. Think Marquette wins in a close one. Confidence:4

No any other result
Colorado Avalanche




800 AK Bars Kazan- Confidence:2

100 Notre Dame- Confidence:3

330 Virginia Tech 3 pointers- Confidence:1

345 Barcelona - Only reason I am a little hesitant on this pick is I could see Barcelona playing for a draw since they are already up 2-0. Confidence:3

345 PSG by 2- Confidence:1

702 Rutgers- Confidence:3

702 Georgia Tech- Confidence:2

702 Seton Hall- I think Seton Hall is the much better team but its hard to not be impressed that Butler beat them twice this year. But having watched both of these teams a couple of times this year I think Seton hall doesnt lose 3. Plus they have played at the garden before where Butler might not be used to playing there. Confidence:4

702 Auburn- Confidence:3

705 Denver Nuggets- Confidence:2

710 Brooklyn Nets- Nets have won the previous 2 games this year so this could be a big revenge game for the Heat so I could see a situation where they want to come out and dominate and make a statement. Confidence:1

711 27 or fewer- I'll take my chances with the under here. Even if you assume the Heat play really well in the first half and get 52 points. Thats still over 50 % of your scoring coming from 2 players. Lebron is hard to predict at times. But I think the Nets have a couple of different guys that can match up and cover Wade and Lebron. If I was the Nets I would think you would want to try and make other guys beat you especially early on. Nets have picked up defensively over the last month. Confidence:4

735 Boston Bruins- Confidence:2

735 Winnipeg Jets- Confidence:3

735 New York Knicks- Confidence:2

805 New Orleans Pelicans- Confidence:3

830 No Any other result/ Nets- Confidence:1

I like Arsenal a little more than AC Milan.

346 1 player- Confidence:2

346 AC Milan- Confidence:3

447  Yes- Confidence:1

702 Wright St winning margin- Confidence:3

703 No at least 1 doesnt- Confidence:3

704 Mount St. Marys 3s- Confidence:1

705 New York Rangers- Rangers are hot and Hurricanes are cold. Confidence:4

705 Philadelphia Flyers- Confidence:3

705 Buffalo Sabres- Weaker of the 4 hockey plays even I like them all. If you would prefer skipping a road favorite I think the Blue Jackets more than the Flyers. Confidence:3

705 Columbus Blue Jackets- Red Wings key players are out think Blue Jackets get it done at home.  Confidence:3

735 Phoenix Coyotes - Confidence:1

735 Sacramento Kings- Confidence:1

805 Memphis Grizzlies- Confidence:4

805 San Antonio Spurs- Confidence:3

810 Oklahoma City Thunder- Confidence:3

811 No Any other result- I think now that Westbrook is back there is a slim chance that he could take shots away from Durant. Ibaka could off if Houston tries to really shut Durant down here. Hardens the hard one for me to predict but I could Howard or Parsons having a good half here. Too many variables here to pick against this. Confidence:3

1010 John Isner wins 2-0- Confidence:2

SFTC Picks for Sunday 3/9

Monthly path (32-19)- I expect some picks to be added so might be changed

Inter Milan
Virginia
Mercer
Michigan St
Notre Dame DD
USC

16

1000 Inter Milan-Inter doesn't lose at home but they have a couple of draws against them this year. Torino is a pretty good road team. But I'll take my chances that they get it done on the at home. Confidence:3

1200 Virginia- A game Virginia should win but they really have nothing to play for. Confidence:2

1230 New York Rangers- Hard to trust the Red Wings without Datysuk and Zetterberg. Confidence:3

100 Miami Heat- Think as long as they show up they win here. But I could see this being a game they take off. Confidence level depends on if Wade plays. Confidence:4

200 Syracuse- Confidence:2

200 Saint Louis- Confidence:3

200 Mercer- Think this team of senior leaders wants a chance at the NCAA championship and gets it done here. Confidence:4

330 Tennessee(Womens) - I think they get revenge from their matchup earlier this year. For those that don't remember Tenn was 10 point favorites at home. Tenn was the clear favorite to win the SEC this year and I think they win this game. Confidence:3

335 Thunder winning margin- Confidence:1

430 Michigan St- Confidence:1

600 Denver Nuggets- Confidence:3

600 Detroit Pistons- Confidence:2

730 Dallas Mavericks- Confidence:2

730 Wisconsin- Confidence:3

800 LA Kings - Depends on whos in net for both teams. Think Scrivens could want to outplay the team that traded him away. Confidence:1

800 Minnesota Wild- Confidence:2

900 USC (womens)- Confidence:1

SFTC Picks for Friday 3/7

Monthly Path(25-13)
0 or 1 goal
14 or more
13 or fewer
Mareille
Carlos Boozer
Bulls 15
Northern Iowa




1030 0 or 1 goal- Confidence:3

1200 Winthrop- Confidence:1

1228 14 or more- Confidence:1

131 13 or fewer- the first hole the last couple of years has been 1 of the easiest holes on this course. Will be interesting to see where they place the hole on day 2.  This group still has to finish a couple of holes up on their first round. Snedeker and Simpson are 2 of the best par 5 players in the game. I think 2 birdie here and I don't think 1 of them eagling is that big of a stretch. Confidence:3

230 Marseille- Confidence:3

335 Illinois St- Confidence:1

700 New York Rangers- Confidence:2

700 UCF- Confidence:3

703 Kent St-Confidence:3

710 Chicago Bulls- Confidence:2

711 Carlos Boozer- Confidence:2

730 Detroit Red Wings- Confidence:2

730 Florida Panthers- Confidence:2

730 Brooklyn Nets- Confidence:3

830 Dallas Mavericks- Confidence:2

830 Bulls 15 - Confidence:1

900 Calgary Flames- Confidence:3

930 Houston Rockets- A lot of players on both teams are banged up. But assuming Howard and Harden play this will probably the best pick on Friday. Confidence:3

935 Northern Iowa- Only team in this conference that has a chance to beat Wichita. Think they don't over look SIU and will be ready to make it to the MVC championship game.  Confidence:4

1000 Anaheim Ducks- Confidence:2

1010 Eastern Kentucky- Confidence:2

Wednesday, March 5, 2014

SFTC Picks for Thursday 3/6

Monthly Path (21-11)- Subject to change depending on start times

Any Other Score
0 or 1
154 or more
6 or fewer
No 1 player doesn't score 12
51 or more
Washington St


1100 Any Other Score- I think this is the safer play here and a decent odds play considering he will be the first group on this hole. Streelman isn't a great par 5 player because he isn't a huge driver. Seems like this hole 1 usually plays pretty easy. I'll take my chance with any other here. Confidence:3

1144 Rory McIlroy- Confidence:3

1239 0 or 1- A lot will depend on how the hole is playing to this point in the day. There will be 27 people that will have teed off on 1 before these 3 tee off. Scott and Woods are really good par 5 players. Stenson has yet to really play that much golf it seems in the US to this year but last year he played unbelievable and dominated par 5s. Might switch my pick if the hole is playing a lot easier but Ill take my chances that at least 2 don't birdie. Confidence:2

205 Alejandro Falla- Dellbonis is the better player but Falla is the better hard court player. Confidence:2

245 154- 2 really high scoring teams. Confidence:3

515 Any Other Result/Matt Ebden- Confidence:1

700 Winnipeg Jets- Confidence:1

702 Cincinnati - Confidence:3

703 6 or fewer- Confidence:2

704 LSU- Confidence:3

704 Penn St- Confidence:1

705 Villanova- Xavier is a good young team and plays well at Cintas but they wont win here. There 2nd leading scorer Stainbrook will not play which is a huge loss for them here. Nova has multiple guys that can guard Semaj and really slow down Xavier offensively. Nova by DD for me here. Confidence:6

705 Marshall- Confidence:1

730 Tampa Bay Lightning- Confidence:2

800 St. Louis Blues- Confidence:2

800 Colorado Avalanche- Confidence:4

810 San Antonio Spurs- Confidence:2

811 No 1 doesn't score 12 points- I'll take my chances here from an odds perspective. Sure 12 is a common number for players to get in a half but too many variables going into it. There will probably only be 2 or 3 players who score DD in the first half so the odds of 1 of them getting it is unlikely in my mind. Confidence:4

830 Dallas Stars- Confidence:3

900 Phoenix Coyotes- Confidence:2

905 DePaul- Confidence:2

905 Michigan St- Confidence:3

905 UCLA- Confidence:3

930 Edmonton Oilers- Confidence:3

930 51 or more- 2 of the better 3rd quarter teams in the league. Confidence:1

1030 San Jose Sharks- Confidence:3

1045 LA Clippers DD- Confidence:3

1105 Washington St- Confidence:3

735 Detroit Pistons- Confidence:2

805 Sacramento Kings- Confidence:2

805 Philadelphia Flyers- Confidence:3

810 Dallas Mavericks- Confidence:1

811 Any Other Player- Ellis is a good scorer but Dallas spreads the ball around offensively. I could see Dirk getting around 12-15 and he might win there because of the tie. Ellis has struggled on the road this season and just hoping Dirk doesn't go off here. Lawson being back really changes the Nuggets offensively. Confidence:3

830 Mexico- Confidence:2

905 West Virginia- Confidence:3

905 Stanford winning margin- Confidence:4

930 27 points or fewer- Confidence:2

SFTC Picks for Tuesday 3/4

Monthly Path (14-6)
Ak Bars Kazan
Rotherham United
No 1 doesn't score 10
Michigan makes 2
Florida St



800 Ak Bars Kazan- They seem like the better team of the 2. Higher in the standings with better splits. But Traktor has more success head to head. Confidence:2

245 Rotherham United- Confidence:3

250 Dijon- Confidence:2

632 Temple- Confidence:3

702 Michigan - Confidence:2

703 No 1 doesn't score 10- From an odds perspective is a pretty good pick. Michigan runs the majority of their offense through Robinson and Stauskus. Rice and Abrams are both really good players. Want to research this pick a little more but this probably will be my top pick. Confidence:4

704  Iowa St- Confidence:1

704 Creighton- I just don't think Georgetown is that good. Confidence:4

704 Florida by 15- Confidence:2

705 Columbus Blue Jackets- Confidence:2

705 Detroit Red Wings- Confidence:1

805 Colorado Avalanche- Confidence:3

Sunday, March 2, 2014

SFTC Picks for Monday 3/3

Monthly Path(9-5)
149 or fewer
Platanias
Academica
Notre Dame
Free throw
Timberwolves



1000 149 or fewer- Think Olympiakos dominates in this game and the only way the over will hit is if they score over 80. Confidence:3

1230 Platanias- Confidence:3

300 Academica- Confidence:2

702 Notre Dame- UNC hasn't played great recently and squeaked out some close Ws. Think there is a good chance they could be over looking to the Duke game this weekend. Confidence:2

703 Notre Dame- Not even going to waste my time researching this pick. Think Notre Dame really only has 2 or 3 scorers and just hoping 1 of them can do well. Confidence:2

704 Seton Hall- Outside of beating St. Johns on the road they have played pretty poorly. Think this is a pretty good chance for a bad game after a huge win on Saturday against Creighton. Confidence:3

704 UNC Central by 15-Confidence:2

705 Toronto Maple Leafs- Confidence:3

705 Washington Wizards-Confidence:2

735 Brooklyn Nets- Think this has a pretty good chance to be my top pick on Monday. Bulls are hot and have played well against Brooklyn this year. But from what I have heard is this is a big rebound game and it might be good for Brooklyn coming home after a long road trip. Plus Noah might not play here. Confidence:4

735 Detroit Pistons- Confidence:3

805 Utah Jazz- Confidence:1

805 5 goals or fewer- Confidence:2

807 Free throw- just because UNC is not a good 3 pt shooting team. Confidence:1

905 Oklahoma St DD- Confidence:1

905 Minnesota Timberwolves- Confidence:3

905 NC St- Confidence:1

910 Novak Djokovic- Confidence:3

1005 Sacramento Kings- Confidence:2

1035 LA Kings- Confidence:2

SFTC Picks for Sunday 3/2

Monthly Path(5-1)
Manchester City
Tottenham by 2
Nebraska
Kentucky DD
Florida ST DD
Stanford
Matthew McConaughey
12 years a Slave






900 Manchester City- Not over looking this at all. Citys the better team and should win this match. Might be in PKs but I cant see them losing this Cup in back to back years. City is -700 to win.  Confidence:6

1130 Tottenham by 2- Confidence:1

1230 Washington Capitals- Confidence:1

1230 Florida St(Womens)- Confidence:1

100 Duke (Womens)- Confidence:3

100 Maryland- Confidence:1

140 Rory McIlroy- Rory got a 2 shot lead heading into the final round. Even Rory is a much better golfer than anyone within 4 strokes of him I still am a little hesitant on this pick. Too many times you see golfers on Sunday fold under pressure. Granted Rorys on a different level but golfs a funny sport some times. I could see Keegan or Donald making a push but if Rory shoots a -2/-3 he should probably win here. Confidence:3

200 Nebraska (Womens)- Confidence:3

205 Marquette- Confidence:2

230 Tennessee(Womens) - Confidence:4

245 Juventus- Confidence:1

300 San Jose Sharks- Sharks have been in a bit of a slump recently. Sometimes it seems like they don't show up. Devils playing back to back days and even though they have been really good at home. Give me the Sharks more times than not to win this game. Confidence:3

300 Florida Panthers- Confidence:1

310 Any Other Driver- Don't know a whole lot about Nascar but from an odds perspective I'll take my chances with field vs 3. Confidence:3

400 Toronto Raptors- Confidence:1

400 Vancouver Canucks- Confidence:1

405 Ohio St- Confidence:2

405 Kentucky DD(Womens)- Confidence:2

600 Orlando Magic- They will be favored and should be. I know the 76ers are bad but I think they got to win a game here sooner or later. I don't think they will win here and am switching my pick for this game because they are 10 point favorites. I think that's a little high for me. I would prefer if the Magic had Affalo playing here but they still are a talented enough team against the 76ers. Confidence:4

602 Florida St DD- Confidence:1

700 San Antonio Spurs- Confidence:3

700 New York Rangers- Confidence:3

800 Colorado Avalanche- Confidence:2

800 Anaheim Ducks- Confidence:4

800 St. Louis Blues- Confidence:2

805 Stanford- Confidence:2

905 UCLA winning margin- Confidence:2

Want to try and research these Awards picks a little more. Not really sure I want to recommend taking some of these. I haven't seen all of these films so its hard for me to judge so I would just be basing my pick off of the odds and what  I would be reading.

Might update my picks and see if anything gets announced before they announce it on TV.

1115 Matthew McConaughey- He is a huge favorite here. There are only 5 people that have a chance to win and this pick basically comes down to him and DiCaprio in my opinion. McConaughey has won a lot of the other awards and should win here. Confidence:3

1125 12 years a slave- They are really only 2 or 3 films that have a shot to win. This is the favorite and probably has a good reason to win. Confidence:4
