While March Madness betting<\/a> is at the top of everyone\u2019s mind, plenty of money is to be made before the Sweet 16 odds. OffshoreInsiders.com Senior Sports Handicapper<\/a> Matt Rivers has a Wednesday winner and it is on Golden State (+8.5) to Houston.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s tough to make a wholehearted case for the struggling 30-40 Warriors as they continue their Texas three step in the triangle after getting drilled in both Dallas and San Antonio but at this number that is exactly what I am going to do.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not going to say that Houston isn\u2019t the superior overall team that needs every win in order to have a shot at making the playoffs but after the injury to Yao and the departure of T-Mac and the trade of Aaron Brooks I am not all that afraid of this current version of the Rockets, I\u2019m just not. The\u00a0franchise has been held together a lot better than some others would have as having a record above .500 with all of the changes is to be applauded but I\u2019m still not fully buying it.<\/p>\n

The Rockets are making a push after winning four in a row and 11 of their last 14 games led by Luis Scola, Kevin\u00a0Martin and Kyle Lowry and are a pretty good team right now. But through it all it very well may today\u2019s visitors that are the more talented group. I\u2019m not saying that talent is the end all but whenever I could get potentially the better starting five and almost a couple of handful of points I\u2019ll take my chances.<\/p>\n

Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry, David Lee and Dorell Wright form almost as good of a foursome as there is in the game. Of course as the sub .500 record suggests there is more to it than just four guys but\u00a0in this spot with at least a day off yesterday to regroup I will grab the points and take my chances from what is still a mediocre Houston team.<\/p>\n

Top expert pick<\/a> on this game: Golden State from Matt Rivers<\/p>\n

For more information: <\/strong>I predicted Iona would beat Buffalo 84-65 and they won 78-63. I would say that was a pretty good call and once again proves what an amazing zone I am in right about now. Just look above at the numbers and you bet your arse they are going to get even better today! A pair of rare NBA winners including another 300,000* that will make Iona yesterday look difficult. 300,000* Indiana-Charlotte along with a 200,000* involving Orlando and New York. On-fire and sweeping the board yet again tonight! Click now to purchase<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
