4 Unit Play. #707. Take Providence +10.5 over Villanova (Thursday @ 7pm est). I'm glad we cashed with the 5* on Missouri as that is now 6 straight 5* Winners as we come off December cbb gom, Jan cbb gom, Feb cbb gom and March cbb gom winners. We are 5-1 on the week and 6-2 in March so let's keep our "Madness" run going. You can probably get 11 for this line if you wait or shop around. But, I see mostly 10.5 with spotted "11's" so just wait as the public will likely raise this price higher which is fine as we take the underdog. I like the fact that Villanova comes off such a huge and dominating win over Notre Dame on the road. No, Providence is not ranked 16th in the country like Nova is and no, Providence is not 12-5 in the conference like Nova nor do they get anywhere close to the press coverage. But, yes, this Providence did take 'Nova to the wire earlier this year losing 91-94. In fact, in that game, Nova was up at the half 49-34 only to see that lead dwindle as Providence made a spirited comeback. Granted, if Nova was coming off a loss to Notre Dame, I would have stayed away from this game. But, Nova comes off a big 17 point win at the eyes of the public after the outright loss to Georgetown at home which undoubtedly stung for this team. Heck, GT had 25 turnovers and still managed to win the game and for a team that learns discipline from a solid coach, this was hard to take. Hence, their big win at Notre Dame. I understand it is senior night, but coming off such a big win over Notre Dame, I think this is a wash. Tack on the fact that Providence has gained confidence from what they did right in the second half against this team at home, plus, the fact that this Friar team is playing better defeating Pittsburgh and their #1 ranking 81-73 at home and following it up by not having a let down and defeating Rutgers on the road sweeping them on the season. I'm not taking anything away from Nova, but I think Providence will sneak inside the number here as Villanova has not covered back to back games since February 10th. The Friars are 9-4 ATS as underdogs of 7 to 12 points and the Wildcats are 1-4 ATS when facing teams with a road winning % of less than 40% - meaning they have trouble covering big spreads at home.

Good Luck,
Indian Cowboy.

The NBA play is a 4* on Dallas. Steve McQueen posted in the service plays thread

 

[cmoise1]

nooooooo, not dallas

4* NBA: Dallas +6.5


Make that 5 straight NBA Winners for us as we have won 5 straight days in the Association. Let's go for #6 in a row and keep a perfect March as we are 4-0 in March NBA today as we look to cash with the Mavs on the road at New Orleans. I will tell you right off the bat that I have been hard on the Mavs all year long. I think Devin Harris is the far better player than Jason Kidd and I think Cuban is a fool for giving up Harris for Kidd. Having said that, I think Dallas is going to show up big today in New Orleans for several reasons. For starters, people have forgotten about Dallas a bit and they are playing with a chip on their shoulder. Remember, when we think of the West, we do not think of the Mavericks anymore and rightfully so. But, also bear in mind, that when Dallas is healthy, and that includes having Kidd and Howard both in ballgames, they be potent. Keep in mind Jason Kidd needs to take part in the scoring as he cannot have all the work go toward Dirk, Howard and Terry off the bench. Now, Kidd did score 17 points against the Spurs and this is why the Mavs beat them. Kidd needs to step up once again tonight. But, more importantly, the last time these two teams played, Dallas went into the half up 56-51. But, the Mavs collapsed and ended up losing 97-104. Why? Well, because this team did not have Howard that game and therefore, their legs were tired and the key players in Dirk, Terry and Kidd had to take more of the load. Consequently, this team failed. Remember, the Mavs are not like the Lakers who have an endless sea of quality players off the bench it seems. The Mavs need to have all four, and all four healthy to be potent like they were against the Spurs. Howard came back and has been playing well as he was key to the Spurs win the other day scoring 29 points and picking up 7 boards in the process. Look for Howard to have a big game and for him to make the difference. Remember, the Mavs lost by 7 to the Hornets without Howard - imagine what they will do with Howard - with revenge. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see the Mavs win this game Outright on the road as I have that as 40% possibility, but I will gladly take the offered points as well. The Hornets cannot be trusted laying points as they are 0-4 ATS when laying 5 to 10 points as this team is infamous for letting teams back into the game - just check the Bucks game at home the other night. Dallas will be coming all night long with that revenge after they took the home loss to the Hornets just earlier this year.

Knew that Prov play was trouble, they were exposed a few weeks ago. Not gonna bash IC for a miss on that 1 I just opted not to play.

As for Dallas...they just gave up in the 3rd. Thats hard to cap! The under saved me.

Tonight it looks as tho IC is on Princeton who skrewd us on a prev IC Fri pick and Minn although I wont be surprised to see an total plin the NBA.

4 Unit Play. Take Columbia -2 over Princeton (Friday @ 7pm est). The Ivy is one of my favorite conferences and for our Ivy League action today, let's take the small home favorite here in Columbia over Princeton. We are 5-3 (62.5%) overall on the week with CBB and NBA combined and although we are 3-1 in the NBA this week, we are about even in college ball. I had a small lean on Brown today but I'd rather go with the team that has won 6 conference games as compared to 1 and Columbia is ranked about 30 spots better in the power rankings than Brown. This is part of the process that goes into making the POD each day. The goal essentially is to give ourselves as many advantages as possible. Princeton beat Columbia by 28 last time out by a final score of 35-63 so obviously this is a big revenge game for Columbia. Plus, Princeton comes off back to back wins over Yale and Brown. Ironically, these are the same two teams this team lost to on the road earlier this year. So, by no means is it impossible for Princeton to ride to Columbia and get beat by a team that defeated earlier this year Princeton's split personality has been seen before. I do wish Columbia shoots better free throws, but they still shoot at around a 66% clip and this team is still the same team that has 6 conference wins. Let's not forget these wins come against Yale, Brown, Penn, Dartmouth, Harvard and another win over Brown for the season sweep. Of these 6 conference wins, 4 of them came at home. So, we get the better end of the split personality with Columbia with the revenge and the fact they play better at home. Remember, Columbia is frustrated and will play with an edge as they come off a tough 3 game road trip falling to Yale, Dartmouth and Harvard. There is a reason why this line is -2 for Columbia. Vegas expects this team to do well - after all this is a 7.5 line shift from the line when Princeton was favored by -5.5 and easily covered over this team at home. If you take a look at that game, Columbia shot a shocking 11 for 46 from the field - a staggering 23.9%. I can't imagine shooting that bad at home today as it is not in the character of this team to shoot that bad as per the season they shoot 40.5% from the field. I look for a turn of fortune here as Columbia does well today as they are 5-1 ATS as small home favorites of this margin and 5-1 ATS their last Friday games which is important considering the Ivy is usually featured on Fridays to the country and the betting world.

Good luck,
Indian Cowboy.

I sent one back saying the GOM is at 1030, I got this back:

My mistake about Orlando. His NBA for tonite is Utah -9. My apology

Sent from my iPhone


The guy that sends me IC everyday made a mistake, maybe he got confused with both games being -9,I don't know.

Now I know a lot of guys on here don't like GG, but he didn't start this, I did. I was the first one to get IC on the forums, it's my fault, not his!! I got the wrong info and posted it. I will take the blame, but you should also remember what they say across the street, it you didn't buy it yourself, it is not confirmed!! So whoever was the asshole bitching about me posting a play that wasn't confirmed, you can go fuck yourself!! If you want confirmed, GO FUCKING BUY IT YOURSELF!!

Good luck tonight fellas!!

 

[cmoise1]

Yeah guys, Steve didn't make the mistake, and he's doing us a favor by posting these plays for us everyday on here....

so it's columbia and utah...


let's hope IC starts to roll again tonight....
