- 0:06Welcome to Nate's daily wager. I ain't picking winners, but I
- 0:10am making wagers. Time to put my money where my
- 0:13mouth is. This is Nate's daily wager for
- 0:20March 20th, 2026, and man, what a day.
- 0:25What a day to start March Madness.
- 0:28Just some great games, some big upsets, people's busted brackets
- 0:32are all over the place. Meanwhile, Sheila in accounting,
- 0:36her brackets looking fantastic, just somehow always ends up that
- 0:40way. But the important thing is we
- 0:42want our bed on here. We're streaking pretty well,
- 0:44keeping it going. We're going to see if we can
- 0:46keep that momentum pushing forward.
- 0:48So today I'm looking at an 8-9 matchup all right, we got Utah
- 0:53State and Villanova, we got the Aggies taking on the Wildcats, 2
- 0:58very original names, especially at the college level.
- 1:01So I was taking a look at these guys again, looking at the
- 1:04numbers as I've been doing, again, I don't know any of these
- 1:07players, but I can look at numbers, I can look at history.
- 1:11I can hopefully predict how I think things are going to go
- 1:14down, right. So far, the formula, the
- 1:17algorithm, the inputs and outputs have been doing what
- 1:21they're supposed to be doing and the results have been producing
- 1:24positive numbers for us. So sticking to that, looking at
- 1:27the numbers, Utah State, again, a top true field goal percentage
- 1:32team over 100 places better than Villanova.
- 1:36So I figure, well, that's where I got to go.
- 1:39Then I look at the spread, it's -1 1/2 for Utah State.
- 1:42I can live with that. I think they're going to win
- 1:44outright. It's going to be a close game,
- 1:46but a basically half point hook. I can live with it, right,
- 1:49Because I figure they're going to win, hopefully they'll win by
- 1:51two. That's where we're at.
- 1:52So that's where we're going. So we're going.
- 1:54Utah State -1 1/2 against Villanova in today's NCAA men's
- 2:00college March Madness basketball tournament action.
- 2:04Is there anything better than that?
- 2:05Found it. That's my pick and I'm sticking
- 2:07to it. Rolling.
