Sniff, sniff. What’s that? March Madness betting? Well, yeah. Memphis is freaking me out right now (currently up by one with six and a half minutes to go).  So you could say I’m smelling a major upset in the March Madness odds, I suppose.

But I’m also really starting to smell a first-round meltdown for the Boston Bruins in NHL betting. Hey, I don’t mean to dis the Bruins; they’re in great shape for the next five to 10 years, with a plethora of big, agile young forwards and thoroughbreds on defense. You could almost say they’re a team of Cam Neelys.

But what the many online betting fans who romanticize Neely’s career — myself included — forget is that Neely’s style of play wore him out and left him perpetually banged up. Is it just me, or is that happening to the Bruins a bit? We’re seeing hulking wingers like Milan Lucic and Michael Ryder miss time…Phill Kessel too.

Can’t help but wonder about the goaltending in crunch time. Tim Thomas and Manny Fernandez have been a great tandem but they have so little playoff experience….Any of the current five through eight seeds  — Pittsburgh, New York, Montreal and Carolina — could give the Bruins major headaches in the NHL betting playoffs.

Be careful, sportsbook players!
