Smokehouse Mike's pick of the day
NCAAM:
#8 Creighton V IA.
The reason I'm picking this is because IA is a 12.5 point dog but in my opinion the only thing Creighton has going for them in these first two games are the field goal %, being 2nd in the nation with 58.7 field goals %. 1st in the nation in 3pt field goals % at 15.0 shooting 45% from the 3. I see IA controlling everything else as far as team stats. So I think IA will cover and think it will go under.

When this poll came out Cuomo's price took a plunge from mid 60s to mid 30. Later in the day a poll from HarrisX / Fix The City came out with Cuomo winning comfortable. Many are skeptical of the poll because of its crosstabs. Nonetheless, Cuomo rebounded and now both candidates are close to 50c each with the election day being tomorrow.
This has been a difficult race to read. Mamdani's momentum seems to be everywhere now, almost to an absurdly astroturfed extent. At the same time, his momentum seems to be primarily among affluent whites who are very vocal online whereas Cuomo hasn't really had a ground game but has been blitzing the TV networks. Cuomo is also polling better ...
