How are YOU coping with the sad realization that there’s no more college football? Some turn their attention to the NFL, some use the spring months as a hiatus from sports and some have no choice because they broke their televisions in a fit of rage during during the National Championship Game.

One of the most depressing parts about football ending is the end of another riveting year of gambling on bowl games. If you’re like us, that is unacceptable. However, there is a light at the end of this degenerate tunnel. College basketball season provides the perfect opportunity to continue your terrible habit of gambling your hard earned money on 18-22 year old kids playing sports. One of my roommates recently got into gambling, and he is not very good at it. To help out people like my roommate who struggle with picking lines, Luke Maiers and I decided to start a new weekly college basketball column where we pick the best betting lines every Saturday. Since all of these picks are guaranteed winners, you might as well heed our advice and make some money. We will keep a running tally of our records throughout the year as proof of our gambling prowess (or lack there of).

Without further ado, here are our gambling picks for this weekend.
