Adding a couple more for today (like I don't have enough already huh?) Good luck to everyone.....

Central Michigan -1.5 vs. Cleveland State
>>CMU is 5-1 ATS versus a team with a losing record this season. They should take care of business at home in this one.

Dayton -2.5 at -112 vs. Xavier (IIS)

Michigan Wolverines -1 vs. Indiana Hoosiers
>>Counting on these Wolverines to step-up and get a win for the home folks today. Yes they've lost nine straight games but the Hoosiers are equally as bad when playing on the road, posting just one victory there this season.

3***
Villanova Wildcats -3 vs. Pittsburgh Panthers
>>Not yet sold on this Pittsburgh team being all that great. They had a nice win at Syracuse last monday but I think that benefits us here as we get a good low line on a team thats shown it can beat anybody on their homecourt, just ask Kansas. The Wildcats are 3-0 ATS at home versus Pittsburgh since 1997.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets -4 at +104 @ Florida State Seminoles (Pinnacle)
>>Will this be the game that Georgia Tech finally shows us how good they really can be? I'm going against the trends here, which I hate to ever do, and instead going with my guy and my gut is screaming that a Yellow Jackets statement to be made today.
UCLA Bruins +3 @ Stanford Cardinal
>>I am riding this Bruin train until the wheels fall off dammitt! On the road and/or as an underdog this season they have been nothing but money in the bank. Why should I or anyone else expect anything but the same today? UCLA this season is 11-2 ATS as an underdog and a perfect 9-0 ATS on the road. They are also 5-1 ATS since 1997 as a road underdog of 3 points or less and in this series the Bruins are 5-2 ATS in that time as well.
Oregon State Beavers +15 @ Arizona Wildcats
>>Nothing really to say here. Just think this is too many points to pass up on.
Duke Blue Devils -3.5 at -113 vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacons (Pinnacle)
>>Great great situation for a play on Duke here coming off 2 straight losses on the road to Maryland and Virginia Tech. Now they return home to avenge an earlier loss to Wake in Wake. The Blue Devils are 7-0 both S/U and ATS at home versus Wake Forest since 1997.

1*
Marquette -1.5 at -107 vs. Depaul (Pinnacle)
St. John's +3 vs. Georgetown
Indiana & Michigan Under 117.5 points at -109 (Pinnacle)
West Virginia -5.5 vs. Seton Hall
Wake Forest & Duke Over 160.5 points

Good luck to everyone....

Oklahoma Sooners PK at -107 vs. Kansas Jayhawks (Hollywood)
>>It's tough to think this Jayhawk team could lose 3 straight but thats what I see happening tonight. It's pretty simple to me. If Oklahoma can defend their home court against the likes of Colorado, UConn, Texas, Oklahoma State, etc. this season then why wouldn't they be able to versus this Kansas team that is on the slide?
New Mexico Lobos +2 vs. Utah Utes (WorldSC)
>>Yes yes the Utes are very good this year and are running all over this conference as they have yet to lose one game. In fact they've clinched the regular season championship already courtesy of their tough win at Air Force this past weekend. So my question to you is, having done that will they still come out tonight with the same hunger and focus that got them all that? Maybe so, but I'm leaning towards a no. And lets not forget that "the pit" is no damn easy place to win in the first place. So even if they hadn't already cliched and really needed this win badly would they necessarily get it. I think Utah would go down in this spot anyway but now you throw in that X factor with them being satisfied and now I'm more than happy to put my money on it. New Mexico is 2-0 both S/U and ATS versus the Utes over the past 2 seasons at home and they are also 6-1 ATS this season after scoring 80 or more points their previous outing.

Maryland Terrapins -11 vs. Clemson Tigers
>>I just can't resist a play on Maryland in this spot. They return home after a 2-game road trip in which they split, losing an ugly one to NC State but coming back and taking down Virginia. They are much much better at home and much more consistent, which is what they've lacked the entire season when traveling. Tonight they should come together nicely and take revenge out on this Clemson team that beat them by 15 at home a couple weeks ago. The three previous times these teams met before that the Terrapins recorded victories in all three by 21, 13, and 39 points so don't let what happened last time fool you. It was a minor glitch in the system and today Maryland will be back to its normal pasting of these Tigers. It could get ugly!
Alabama Crimson Tide -1 @ LSU Tigers
>>Taking a chance on this one as I hate to bet against these Tigers at home, as we did last game with Florida and I payed for it. Just think Alabama has too much talent in different areas for this team in the end and they'll find a way to get the tough road win. The Crimson Tide are 6-1 ATS since 1997 in games played down at LSU, including 2-0 the L3 years.
Iowa State Cyclones +1.5 @ Texas A&M Aggies
>>I have to ride with these red-hot Cyclones, even if this looks like a trap with them getting points while currently on a 7-game winning streak and coming off a thrilling road victory against Kansas the other night. To me they are just the better team, plain and simple, and the better team should be able to find ways to win these types of games. Iowa State is 6-0 ATS so far this month, 6-0 ATS this season following a win against a conference rival, 6-1 ATS versus a good defensive team that allows 64 points or less, and finally 7-1 ATS this season when playing a team with a winning record after their first 15 games.

1*
Florida State -2.5 at -102 vs. Miami-Florida (Pinnacle)
St.Joseph's +4 @ Temple
Texas Tech -5 vs. Texas
Texas & Texas Tech Over 152.5 points at -112 (Pinnacle)
Creighton -12.5 at -107 vs. Evansville
Davidson -10.5 at -102 @ The Citadel
Brown +8.5 @ Yale


~DaOnEaNdOnLy777~

 

[~DaOnEaNdOnLy777~]

Wow, Iowa State up to +4 at some places. I may have to add another couple units on them if this keeps up. I haven't heard anything about someone being hurt/out so I don't really understand the move. We'll see, I'll give it another hour or so. Good luck to everyone.


~DaOnEaNdOnLy777~

 

[~DaOnEaNdOnLy777~]

My apologies on an absolutely horrible day yesterday. Some teams didn't bother to show up (screw Maryland, Iowa State, and Florida State) while others just barely fell short. Nothing I can do about it now but to move on and try and fill today with nothing but winners. Good luck to everyone.....

Georgia Tech +1 at -105 vs. Duke Blue Devils (Bodog)
>>Just because Duke beat Wake Forest at home the other night doesn't mean everything is righted on that ship. I still think they haven't quite found themselves as a complete team yet and until then they can't and shouldn't be trusted laying points on the road in conference play, especially to this Georgia Tech team. The Yellow Jackets dropped their last home game versus NC State so its tough for me to see them losing another one, while on the other side Duke is currently on a 3-game road losing streak so its not as if they come in with their confidence bursting. I just think Tech needs this win more than Duke does in order to make a statement for tournament time.
Minnesota Golden Gophers -3 at -107 vs. Iowa Hawkeyes
>>Revenge game for the Gophers and to me Minnesota has to be considered the better team with Iowa not having Pierce as they did in the first meeting between these two. Short number on their home court should equal a cover.
UAB Blazers -3 at -107 @ St.Louis
>>UAB is the much better team that also needs a win very badly so covering 3, even on the road like this shouldn't be too much to ask of them. The Blazers are 6-0 ATS this season versus good defensive teams that allow 64 points or less a game and also 8-1 ATS since 1997 after 3 or more consecutive losses.
Bowling Green +1.5 @ Northern Illinois
>>Bowling Green is 5-1 ATS this season versus a team with a losing record and against these Northern Illinois boys they are 9-1 S/U and 8-2 ATS since 1997, including 2-0 both S/U and ATS the L3 seasons on Northern Illinois' home court.

Georgia +10 vs. Mississippi State
Seton Hall -1.5 at -107 vs. Providence (WorldSC)

Oregon State Beavers -3 vs. Stanford Cardinal
>>For some reason I just really like this play, even though the trends favor the side of Stanford. So heck, it might be a good idea to fade this play from seeing my past few days worth of crap feelings on games.

3***
Wisconsin Badgers +8 @ Michigan State Spartans
>>Badgers are 5-1 ATS the L3 seasons in games played at East Lansing. I think the Spartans get the victory but its a lot to ask them to cover this high number against this Wisconsin team that is solid on both sides of the ball.
USC Trojans +7 @ UCLA Bruins
>>I hate to put my money on a team like USC because you never know what you're going to get from them, however if there is any game this season that you'd think they'd bring their A-game to its this one. This game between these two rivals is almost always close and decided in the last minute or so and I see this one being no different. Last 4 games between these two have been decided by a total of 12 points, with USC winning 3 of them. Trojans are 2-0 both straight-up and ATS the L3 seasons as the visitor here.

Possibly 2-3 more plays a little later in the day.

Washington Huskies -13.5 at -107 vs. Arizona State Sun Devils
>>I see a lot of people saying that Washington may be looking past this one and towards Arizona in a couple days but I don't but it. This team remembers what Oregon State did to them a few weeks back and I think they know that nothing is going to just be given to them, that they have to go out and earn it no matter who they're up against. I see the Huskies coming out strong tonight on their home court and sending a message to the Wildcats by beating up on their in-state rivals at State. Washington is 5-1 ATS at home versus ASU including 2-0 ATS in the past 3 years.
Gonzaga Bulldogs -6 at -107 @ Portland
>>This line opened at 8 I believe and has been on a slow decline ever since. Usually Gonzaga being on ESPN means just the opposite but not here. Hmmm, interesting. Everyone is jumping on the belief that this Portland team is the "smart" bet for tonight as a nice home dog. Don't fall for it! If this Portland team that is on a current 3-game home losing streak couldn't get it done versus the likes of San Diego, San Francisco, and St.Mary's then how and why should they be expected to suddenly do it against mighty Gonzaga tonight? I got no clue.

Let's see how a positive & negative feedback/take/opinion on certain games by myself, and others if you so choose to write something, works out. I've never tried this before so don't be too harsh on me. Good luck to everyone......

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets +4 vs. Duke Blue Devils
P1)GT is finally playing up to their potential and expectations they started this season with.
P2)This team knows how to step-it-up come tournament time, whether it be the ACC or NCAA tournament, as they showed last year with almost the same exact players they have now.
P3)We are getting 4 big points which I feel will definetly matter in this one.
P4)Public is heavy on Duke's side at a 78%-22% margin.
N1)GT always struggles against Duke as they are just 3-14 ATS in the last 17 games played between them.
N2)Duke needs a win to try and get a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Kentucky Wildcats -2.5 vs. Florida Gators
P1)Need to win to assure a #1 seed in the NCAA tournament.
P2)Seeking revenge for regular-season finale loss at Florida last week.
P3)Kentucky is 6-1 ATS versus Florida in the last 3 seasons.
N1)Florida is playing very well right now after falling out of the top 25 last week.
N2)Gators have confidence they can win after last weeks victory at home versus this same Kentucky team.
Texas Tech Red Raiders +6 vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys
P1)6 points is a lot for a championship game.
P2)TT has the type of team that is made for tournament style basketball as they showed last year and so far this week.
P3)Oklahoma State is just plain over-rated in my opinion and lack the player that can take over and dominate. They have Graham and Lucas who are both very good but they both have weaknesses and can be stopped.
P4)Coach Knight will have TT ready to play.
N1)Cowboys are always dangerous and can beat anybody on any given day.
N2)Cowboys have also been here before and are experienced in big games.

1*
Texas Tech & Oklahoma State Under 145.5 points
P1)Both teams play good defense.
P2)I like the underdog Red Raiders so the UNDER goes hand-in-hand with how I see the game being played out.
N1)Both teams have to talent and ability to score on occasions.


~DaOnEaNdOnLy777~

 

[~DaOnEaNdOnLy777~]

Adding a couple more small ones for todays games. Good luck to everyone......

1* (added)
Florida & Kentucky Over 133.5 points
P1)both times they played this season it went UNDER the total so they're due for a semi-decent offensive showing.
P2)I like the favorite so that means the OVER should be good as well.
N1)they're 2 for 2 UNDER this season and 5 of the last 7 times they've met its gone UNDER the total
N2)this total opened up at 132.5 points and is now as high as 134.5 at some places so it seems the public is on the OVER as well.
Wisconsin Badgers +7.5 vs. Illinois Fighting Illini
P1)Getting 7.5 points with a good defensive and sound offensive team.
P2)Illinois already assured a #1 seed no matter if they win or lose this one
P3)Public is on Illinois, a 76%-24% margin at the moment
N1)Illini have been the best team in the country for most of the season and have already beaten this Wisconsin team twice this year by double digits.
N2)Illinois has much more fire-power and scoring strengths than does the Badgers. Lots of players that can create on their own.
N3)Wisconsin doesn't really have the offense to come back if they happen to fall behind by more than 12-15
