I dont gamble, but.....

So Im looking at the spreads on the games. Mich State is -2 over Markett. If you read the local Milwaukee paper this morning you would have seen that the Markett sparkplug Jeral McNeal will be out for the game. Mich is a defensive oriented team who likes to rebound. Markett is a perimeter team who lost half of their perimeter effectiveness. I think the rebound total in this game will be MSU-52, Mar-2.


I believe gamblers call this situation "free money"


Then I look a little further down and I see Illinois +2.5 playing Virginia Tech. The same Virginia Tech who beat North Carolina. Twice.


Can you say two team parlay?
