Vegas Vic’s NCAA Tournament picks include Oregon State, Arkansas and Utah State

Let the madness begin. Inquirer handicapper Vegas Vic likes the Beavers in one play and a two-team teaser in another.

After a one-year cancellation, the first full day of March Madness is at hand. There are 16 games on Friday, including Drexel-Illinois at 1:15 p.m., and Villanova-Winthrop around 10 p.m.

LAS VEGAS — Lets DANCE!

Oregon State had an AMAZING run through the Pac-12 Tournament here in Vegas, and you know that Uncle MO had a seat on the plane to Indianapolis. The Beavers chomped through UCLA (83-79), Oregon (75-64) and Colorado (70-68). If you haven’t noticed, ALL three of those teams are playing in the big tournament.

And if some of you were not staying up late to watch the Pac-12, lemme throw some numbers at you. OSU has come down the stretch like Secretariat at the Belmont, winning six of the last seven. And that’s not all. The Beavers have been MONEY, GOBS of money the last month and change, covering 10 of their last 11. That works out to a 91% cover rate.

Now the kids from Corvallis are getting a snowman plus the hook. This is gonna be my BEST BET BAABBBEEE!

Now, jump on the bus with me as we take a ride to TEASER CITY. Gonna throw down a two-team, 6-point teaser starting with Arkansas, and drop the Razorbacks from -8 to -2 points over Colgate. If Sooie Pig can’t squeeze the Toothpaste Kids from upstate New York, then I’m in the wrong business.

Then we’ll pair that with Utah State and bump the Aggies up from +4.5 to +10.5 points against Texas Tech. Remember, lines vary from sportsbook to sportsbook so, like Smokey Robinson sang, “You better shop around.”
