4-1-1 Thursday 3/15

Rhode Island -2 WIN
San Diego State +4  WIN
Kentucky-5 PUSH
Loyola Chicago +1.5 WIN
Florida -4 WIN
NC State +3 LOSS

Including the play in games:
Favorites are 15-5 straight up
Favorites are 12-8 ATS
Unders have dominated going 14-6

Day 1 is in the books, and we got what we expected, THRILLERS! One, thing we must take note of is how sharp the lines were on the first day of games. 8 out of the first 12 games ended within 3 points of the line.

- Down goes No 4 seed Arizona. Listed as an 8.5 point favorite, the Wildcats were blown out by Buffalo. Many fans kissed their brackets goodbye.

- The Houston Cougars won a thriller of a game behind Rob Gray's 39-point performance. None more important than the layup with 1 second left for the Game-winner! One stat that does stick out is Gray had 0 assists, something that must change if they want to advance to the sweet 16. Cougars only had 5 assists the whole game.

- Villanova is SCARY! The Wildcats offense is ranked No 1 in efficiency, as we can see why. They shot lights out hitting 59.6% percent from the field while hitting 14 three-pointers (51.9).

- The Big Ten tournament starting a week early hurt the Wolverines. Michigan started the game ice cold and looked out of sorts. They finally were able to overcome the slow start (10-0) and covered the -10.5 spread.

This Deshaun Watson, Texans brain exercise will make you question everything

Deshaun Watson will make his Cleveland Browns debut this Sunday against his former team at NRG Stadium. Watson has completed his suspension from the NFL for alleged sexual misconduct with dozens of massage therapists, and this Sunday will be the first game he has played in 700 days.

The Browns sit at 4-7 hoping Watson will be the spark the team needs to stack some wins and get into the Wild Card race. The Texans are still searching for their second win of the season, and many believe the team will be hiring another head coach come January.

With this in mind, who has the worst reputation? The Texans or Deshaun Watson?

It seems like an easy answer with Watson's legal troubles, but upon further review, the answer has to be the Texans. The Texans have hired two consecutive coaches that no other NFL team even interviewed. It seems like no quality candidates have any interest in coaching the Texans. Watson, however, had teams lining up for his services when the Texans decided to trade him.

Be sure to check out the video above as we dive into this topic and make a convincing case, as crazy as it sounds, that Watson is perceived to have a better reputation.
