The Biggest Weekday of the Year

Air Date:

Brad is usually excited. Today he’s off the charts. He’s declared this the biggest and best weekday of college basketball action of the year. The guys could have easily done two different Fade Five lists for today, but in the end settled in on Oregon/Stanford and USC/Colorado in Pac-12 play. In the Big Ten, Ohio State and Michigan State will play in East Lansing and the marquee match-up of the night has Iowa taking on Michigan. The NBA player prop of the day is for the other Nikola as Vucevic will face Brooklyn. Plus as a bonus, Brad kicks things off with a five-leg moneyline parlay.

Soaking Up Some Vitamin D

Two marquee match ups also make the list with Indiana/Rutgers and FSU/Miami. Plus, our NBA player prop of the day looks at Mr. State Farm himself, Chris Paul.

Making Picks Before Nate Gets Too Drunk

Air Date:

With Nate headed on vacation, the guys line up Tuesday’s Fade Five a little early. It’s an impressive slate of college basketball games including Virginia Tech returning from its COVID pause to face Georgia Tech. The Billikens mascot is enough to give you nightmares, but not enough to beat VCU. Kansas will be looking to pick up a road win over a reeling Texas squad while Louisville will look to bounce back from its beatdown over the weekend. Plus, is Brad going for reverse psychology with his Fighting Illini?
