oldmanTED · Jan 10, 2004

Early play for today. With additional plays to be made later.

Michigan State vs Wisconsin

Respect Wisconsin team that plays tough defense and is sound in overall game and recognize Michigan State without a true point guard. But, feeling here is that Spartans have played a tough, tough pre-conference schedule against quality opposition and the number here is bit inflated. Hence,

1* Michigan State +11.5

Overall Unit Record YTD: (60-40.8) 59.52% 5*(1-0)(+5.0) 3*(6-3)(+8.1) 1*(37-28-2)(+6.1)
Overall W/L Record YTD: (44-31-2) 58.67%
NCAAB Record YTD: (12-12-1)(+0.8)
NBA Record YTD: (5-4)(+2.6)
NCAAF Record YTD: (21-8)(+22.0) (Final Bowl Game Record 19-8 Included)
NFL Record YTD: (6-7-1)(-6.2)

Plays are rated 1*-5*

Good Luck All

As promised, back with remaining selections for today's games. Going to be brief in my statements here but basically my reasoning for each of these selections is that I believe the quality of each team in each situation together with the line value warrants a play. Hence,

1* Texas Tech -3.5
1* Stanford +4
1* Arizona State -4

Good Luck All.

Stanford is a must play and you might want to stick a little on money line as I think they will win outright. Best of luck.

Kojak:

I agree particularly with Stoudamire questionable with a hamstring injured on Thursday against Cal. It is my POD. Good luck to you as well today.
