Elite Eight, NHL, Valero Texas Open Picks with Brian Blessing March 30, 2021

Host Adam Burke and regular Tuesday guest Brian Blessing were reunited after a change to last week’s schedule. Adam and Brian started with college hoops right out of the gate, taking a look at tonight’s Elite Eight action with USC vs. Gonzaga in the first game and UCLA vs. Michigan in the second game. The guys also discussed some early thoughts on the Houston vs. Baylor line.

On the NHL side of things, the guys discussed the playoff picture and the futures market, including some thoughts on how the playoffs look pretty well-defined already and how home/road splits could progress going forward. Quick thoughts on the NASCAR dirt race and the standings setup sent the boys into a chat about the Valero Texas Open with a weak field and a lot of players at some decent prices that could make noise. Finally, it is a big weekend for horse racing with three Kentucky Derby prep races.
