Right now I am in some rare air as I am seeing every angle. Today will be the big challenge that will be a telltale sign if I am for real or a pretender as on last Saturday's Big Slate I was 5-14-1 but since with limited schedule have gone 28-8. I will steal one from No Tax that if I don't win at least 70%, Kojak will have to rather buy a wig or get a hair transplant. Let's get started.
Texas +4.5 - Texas too big and physical up front just like Purdue and will win straight up as long as Ivey protects the ball (loss)
Seton Hall -9 - Pirates are not playing that bad while Ohio St. is and will be without Sylvester who is suspended for this game. Seton Hall doubles spread (win)
Indiana St. +12 - Butler is way overvalued here based on past couple of years teams while opposite can be said of Sycamores (Loss)
Western Michigan -3 - Simply put this WMU team is very underrated while Loyola is not a good team. (Win)
NC State +3.5 - Wolfpack is a better team than Gamecocks and will win straight up (Win)
LSU -14.5 - This one will be over by halftime as Southern Mississippi won't be able to hold off barrage in Baton Rouge (win)
Oklahoma St. -3.5 - Cowboys should be favored by 7-9 points. This line is off. (win)
North Carolina -3 - Though UNC on winter break and home court not as big of a factor, Tarheels looking for payback and Reverend Roy wants to make a BIG SPLASH in ACC debut at home (loss)
Northwestern +11 - Knowing both of these teams since they are local, this will be a hotly contested game and UIC should never be a double digit fav vs BIG 10 team. Flames will struggle with Wildcats backdoor cuts to the basket and half court style (loss)
Florida -11.5 - Gators looking for payback for Mountaineers victory in Morgantown last year and to bounce back and end two game skid (win)
Boise St -1 - Beavers and Boise St. should switch conferences this year as Broncos would have better chance at being successful in Pac 10 than Oregon St. (win)
SMU +2.5 - Ponies are smarting after being upset Thurs by Appalachian St., and will be looking and playing with a lot of pride in this one (win)
Louisville -18 - Nice tune up for Cardinals who are getting primed for big game with you know who (loss)
Northern Arizona -7.5 - Northern Arizona has too much offense on the perimeter for San Diego
(win)
Wichita St. -5 - Shockers looking to validate themselves on the National Mid Major Scene and this is that game to do it (win)
Indiana +6.5 - Hoosiers will be game here as Davis has them playing BIG against top competition and down to average. Number 1 goes down for the 4th week ? (loss)
Marshall +4 - Another great value game as wrong team is favored (loss)
Central Michigan +17- Won at Notre Dame but got blown out by Purdue in last game. I suspect with in state rival Michigan , they will be up in this one (Win)
SW Missouri St. -1.5 - Bears won at STL last year and will do it again at home in Springfield tomorrow comfortably (win)
Vanderbilt -22 - Way too much for Wofford (win)
As you can see I have listed 20 games, so must get 14 out of 20 to avoid wig or hair transplant. Keep your fingers crossed!
