Sister Jean and Loyola-Chicago Betting Props with Expert Predictions
One of my all-time favorite movies is the classic 'Blues Brothers,' and one of the best quotes in that movie is, "We're on a mission from God." This Saturday night in San Antonio at the Alamodome, the Cinderella team of March Madness, the Loyola Chicago Ramblers, may have extra help on their side.
Let's face it, the 2018 NCAA Tournament aka March Madness will be remembered for two events! UMBC being the first No. 16 seed to beat a No. 1 seed (sorry Virginia) and of course the shining, smiling, and loveable Sister Jean. The No. 11 mid-major Loyola-Chicago will continue their Cinderella dream run in the NCAA Tournament this Saturday in the Final Four, and we can all guarantee that the 98-year-old super fan Sister Jean will be inside the Alamodome. Not only will Sister Jean be attending the big Final Four matchup between the Michigan Wolverines, but you know she will lead the team in prayer before the tip and you know the TV media will show her and mention her throughout the game.
With Sister Jean becoming a celebrity and the sports news media all over the hype of Sister Jean and the Loyola Chicago Ramblers, you figure a sportsbook will jump all over to put up betting propositions on Sister Jean. Sports book BetDSI has posted three betting propositions on Sister Jean for the Loyola Chicago versus Michigan game, the first Final Four game on Saturday. No matter what happens in this game, we will all remember Sister Jean, and I'm all in on the news media covering Sister Jean -- if it wasn't for her we would probably be discussing the FBI investigation in College Basketball.
Here are my 'Free Sister Jean Picks,' and again you can find these odds at BetDSI.
Number of times "Sister Jean" is said during Loyola Chicago vs.
Michigan (Tip to Final Whistle)
Over 4.5 -120
Under 4.5 -110
Really this number is not higher than 4.5 times. Her name could be mentioned over 4.5 times if Loyola Chicago starts off hot and has the lead at halftime. Her name could be mentioned over 4.5 times if the Ramblers are getting crushed at the end of the game. Bet this prop over, and don't feel bad that you cashed this holy ticket.
Number of time "Sister Jean" is shown during Loyola Chicago vs.
Michigan (Tip to Final Whistle)
Over 1.5 +120
Under 1.5 -150
This one is tough because I believe they mention Sister Jean a lot during the game, but they might only show her after the game. I really want to take the plus-money on the over, but I believe the under cashes in this prop.
Will Sister Jean Bobblehead be shown during Loyola Chicago vs. Michigan Broadcast?
Yes -250
No +200
WWE WrestleMania is next week in New Orleans, and in honor of Daniel Bryan being able to wrestle at WrestleMania the answer to this prop is easy. Bet the Yes! Yes! Yes! I know the Yes is -250, but this moneyline should be around -400 or higher, so I say grab the -250 and take it to the bank.
