Chasing Lines: Uh, Perhaps It's Time to Bet Against the Big East

Coming into this week many proclaimed that the Big East was the best conference in the entire country and that there would be many a Big East celebration in March. Well after a few days of NIT games and one day of the NCAA tournament perhaps the Big East was getting a bit too much love. Of the 8 Big East teams to play a postseason game this far, only one beat the spread, and they still lost.

4 NIT Games
~UConn defeats Northeastern at home by just 2.
~St. John's (the team that beat the spread) lost by two on the road at Memphis.
~Seton Hall got crushed at home by Texas Tech and their coach was subsequently canned.
~USF lost at home by 1 to NC State.

4 NCAA 1st Round Games
~Villanova was lucky to pull out an overtime victory.
~Notre Dame couldn't hit a jump shot and lost a 6-11 matchup.
~Georgetown was thoroughly embarrassed by a mediocre Ohio team.
~Marquette struggled in the second half and lost their 6-11 matchup on a Washington runner in the closing seconds.

So with all these negative results and 4 Big East games today, it might be wise to make an anti-Big East run. Let's take a quick peak at today's Big East games.

Todays Games
~West Virginia vs. Morgan St.: WVU is too hot to bet against, I would lay off this one.
~Syracuse vs. Vermont: I'd stay away from this as well as I'm sure Boeheim doesn't want another close 1st round game with UVM.
~Pittsburgh vs. Oakland: Pitt probably didn't deserve a 3 seed and they don't blow teams out, could be a good spread to pounce on.
~Louisville vs. Cal: Everyone seemingly went with Pitino in this game but with the Big East's struggles it's probably time to back track from that stance.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
