4 Unit Play. Take Under 192.5 between Charlotte Bobcats @ Minnesota Timberwolves (Saturday @ 8:05pm est). Glad we were able to cash with the Warriors yesterday over the Mavs. That brings us to 3-2 on the week and if we can cash today, we will secure a winning week and 9 of 12 winning weeks in the NBA. Let's get it done. I looked at several games today including the Jazz with revenge (public is on them however and I hate going against Miami), or OKC/L.A. Clippers but the Suns are desperate and the Nuggets played well with moer team involvement against OKC and no Randolph for the Clippers today. So, that brings us to the Under in Minny. The last time these two teams met, the total was 190 in Charlotte with the Bobcats winning by 10. The last game in Minny was against the Knicks, where the Twolves were only able to scrounge up 94 points - folks, that's bad in an up and down game. But, they did hold the Knicks to 102 points. Why would they not be able to hold a Charlotte team to less than 100 points, which they only gave up 100 on the road, but holding to less than a 100 on their home floor not to mention holding the Knicks to 102 in their last game. I bet you Charlotte does not score more than 95 points. In that same token, have you see the Minny Injury report. Of course, no Jefferson and Brewer for the Season, Foye is questionable for this game with an ankle injury, Carney is questionable due to an abdominal strain, Ollie is questionable with the flu and Collins is questionable with the flu as well. This team was already weak with reserve help and now they lose several moer players likely. Now, Minny still has Gomes, Smith, Telfair, Miller, and Love but these legs will give way to a Charlotte team that has some big bodies to throw at you and who themselves come off back to back losses as well. I see this game closing in the low 180's at a tune of 95-85. Brick, Brick Brick Baby!
Good luck,

Recap of all of IC...
4 Unit Play. Take Maryland +9 over Duke (Saturday @ 3:30pm). I got to be honest, I feel strong about our card today. I felt like we were clearing some woods to make a breakout yesterday and I feel goot coming into today. We had some nice outright winners with Miss. State and Auburn so let's keep the dog trend going today with 2 dogs and an Over. Heck, we went 3-1 in 4* selections yesterday so why not three 4* Selections today along with an NBA 4* Selection as well. For starters, let's take the rising Terps in ACC Play. How about ol' Gary huh? He has his guys playing well when it counts. I'm so happy for him and I would love for him to see win it all as he has taken a lot of heat this year and over the last few years. Maryland defeated NC State and Wake Forrest as 6 point dogs to get here. Maryland was actually tied with this team earlier this year at home going into the half only to fall short in the second half. Believe it or not Duke has been really shaky from the foul line as well shooting just around 58% for their last game. I think when it comes to tourney time, it is all about momentum. You see this entire week with teams like Syracuse, Baylor (who we are on indirectly today), Temple, USC and even FSU. It's all about momentum. The regular season means squat. Look, this Maryland team was crushed by Duke in their first meeting by 41 points. Then, these two hooked up in Maryland for a tie score at the end of the first half. This is the same Terps team that beat UNC at home with Ty Lawson playing in that game. The Terps will be refused to be pushed around today as Gary understands they win this - they go dancing. Plain and simple. The refs will help them as well - just watch the personal count between both of these teams. The ACC knows what's up (Maryland doing very well this tourney and the beneficiary of some nice calls), the Big 12 knows what's up (Baylor beneficiary of some nice calls tihs tourney), and the SEC knows what's up (Auburn and Miss. State the beneficiary of some nice calls), and of course, the beneficiary of them all, Syrcause, who gets every call in the book in MSG and has for years if another player dares breath on them. In short, it's not all Vasquez that is getting the scoring done, but this team has come together with Mosley, Neal, Hayes, Milbourne all stepping up - plus, this team shot 21-26 from the charity stripe for over 80%. I see the Terps hanging tough all day. The Terps got it done over NC State, got it done over Wake +6 in Outright fashion, and I have them as an uspet watch today in Hotlanta. I will be at this game rooting for Terps.
4 Unit Play. Take Baylor +5.5 over Missouri (Saturday @ 6pm est). You might be even able to get +6 or even +6.5 if you just wait before the evening tip-off for this game. We are going to ride the coattails of Baylor today. For starters, Baylor is on a mission and they are the darlings of the Refs as well. Why wouldn't they be...lol...they need this game to go to the Dance and they will certainly get all the help from the Big12 who will want them to win this game so they can sneak one more team in. Like I said in the above analysis, that is what is happening with Syracuse, Auburn, Miss. State, USC, Maryland, Temple and everywhere else - this is what conferences do to take their bubble teams and let the rise so they can fit that one to two extra teams in. Baylor is also playing lights out. This team put up 76 points against a Texas team that is known more for defense. The last time these two teams met, yes, Missouri beat this team by double-digits on the road. But, that Baylor team and this Baylor team are different. After all, that Baylor team lost to Kansas by 10 at home, this Baylor team beat Kansas by 7. That Baylor team lost to Nebraska by 4 at home, this Baylor team beat Nebraska by 16 away from home. That Baylor team lost to Texas by 6 at home and 16 on the road and this Baylor team beat Texas by 6 at home. So, please don't tell me what Baylor has done in the regular season as that is irrelevant and what they have done winning as Outright dogs over the last 3 games shows that - This team was +1 against Nebraska, +8 against Kansas and +4.5 against Texas. So, why would we be on Baylor today at +5 with 70% of the public riding Missouri. Missouri is beatable. They have been shaky on the road of late losing to A&M, getting beat by 25 to Kansas on the road, losing to Nebraska on the road earlier this year as well as Kansas State. Yes, this team beat Texas Tech and had a good game against Oklahoma State, but I have Baylor as a 45% shot at an Outright Winner here. Plus, I like the 5.5 points here as that gives us an additional 10% chance of covering according to my spreadsheets and I will gladly take the 55% shaved coin in our favor as we ride the Dog that I believe can win Outright.
4 Unit Play. USC +1.5 over Arizona State (Saturday @ 6pm est). Let's ride Southern Cal in what is a semi-home game on CBS in Staples Arena in Los Angeles. Look, I can give you the long end of the analysis or the short end. The short end is this, the Pac-10 needs another team in there, Southern Cal has the crowd behind them in this contest, will have some home cooking calls, this is why the line is short at +1.5 (if you wait until later in the day you can get +2 or even +2.5) and the public is prime to get buried to a tune of 73%. Arizona State comes off some huge wins, but they did lose to this Southern Cal team earlier in the year by 12 which peole forget on the road. Yes, Arizona State held serve and won by 12 with revenge later in the year at home. Well, guess what, this is not at home. This is on the road, in L.A., at the Staples Center. How else do you think USC made it this far, they are playing basically home games in each one of these tourney games and they are loving it. I like Arizona State as they are a well coached team - but they did loes to Washington on the road in OT, they did lose to Washington State on the road in OT, they did lose to Stanford at home by 10 who is a top 50 team and USC is a top 30 team at that playing a semi-home game. In short, we are fading the public, we are taking the semi-home team, we have the team with the latest revenge angle, Arizona State is "not all that" on the highway this year, and we should get the home calls here as once again the Pac-10 would love to see another one of its teams in and if USC wins here - they roll in and Arizona State is a lock to go to the Dance this year already. Remember when Chattanooga beat App. State for the Southern Conference Championship? This was the same line, the same public percentage. Well, this time, we are on the "potential fix". Yes, I said it. Look for the foul count to be in our favor here. Give me the Trojans who are strong at home to bury the public here.

This team was already weak with reserve help and now they lose several moer players likely. Now, Minny still has Gomes, Smith, Telfair, Miller, and Love but these legs will give way to a Charlotte team that has some big bodies to throw at you and who themselves come off back to back losses as well. I see this game closing in the low 180's at a tune of 95-85. Brick, Brick Brick Baby!
Good luck,

Baylor Mizzou
Just a note to the players. I'm a Mizzou homer (donate a little money, football seasons, and grad). That and a dime probably doesn't buy you much.
However, for the uninitiated, Mizzou is a higher scoring team--if not machine sometimes, 2nd half.
Now that's all qualified should they play this half like slugs, out of gas etc. But if it's a game, and they're competing, take a look at them for 2nd half side and total over. I say look at it---not advice to bet. But I notice some like those plays, I'm just giving some basic insight about how the team has operated all year. All that can probably be thrown out the window since it's a tournament championship, but then again, I think both teams will play to play hard to the end. Mizzou can improve their seeding perhaps, and with Tex and F-Ku be bounced they would like the shiney trophy. Same even bigger for Baylor.
I enjoy the service thread and do not flat follow any of these pukes, but I use it with all the other info I look at. Just giving you sopmething to chew on but as always, I say do your own capping of the matchup before betting.
Good luck the rest of the way.

I have Vegas Runner's season package, and have posted his play's counting today the last 3 days...I can't tell you anymore than that as I don't want to expose anything to Pregame...They accomplished what they wanted to and that was confusion up until the Tenn game started...I had Tenn large, and my day is done...I'm soooo sorry to everyone else for the chatter.
