Hey all, thanks for tuning in, just wanted to introduce myself real quick. My name is Ethan and I will be writing here as often as possible to help you with your sports picks.

I am a sports enthusiast and although I love watching sports, I enjoy writing/talking/arguing about them even more.

I am currently very active with ESPN’s Streak 4 Cash and hope my knowledge can help you gain success with your streaks!

My advice for today’s  (1-29-09) Streak for the Cash is as follows:

If you have a streak of 5+ and want to be somewhat selective, my TOP PICK OF THE DAY is Gonzaga over St. Mary’s at 11:00pm. Gonzaga’s 4 losses (2 at home) were to decent squads by a small margin. They only lost by 5 to UCONN in OT at home. Although they lost, it was an impressive loss. On the other hand, St. Mary’s only has one loss with some impressive road wins. The bottom line is that St. Mary’s has a much weaker schedule than Gonzaga and if schedules were switched, St. Mary’s would have more losses than Gonzaga. I am taking Gonzaga in this one because home-court advantage will prevail.

Here are all my picks for today. The ones in BOLD will be the ones I am slightly more confident in picking, while the ones in regular font can easily go either way.

Hope this helps!
