#526 Arkansas 3.5(-110) Greek vs 525 Texas A&M double-dime bet
Analysis: I doubt they can possibly play as poorly as they did when we had them against Kentucky - more later.

#512 MIN +8.0(-110) Pinnacle vs 511 OKL double-dime bet
Analysis: Partially, a fade of the Thunder who played OT in New York last and and it's their third game in four days - more later.

Esler's complete analysis for post #86 just above in this thread:
Analysis: I doubt they can possibly play as poorly as they did when we had them against Kentucky - and I am betting on them for many of the same reasons I did against the Wildcats. This is a team that beat Vanderbilt and took Dayton to overtime on the road. Yes, they've lost three straight, by two at LSU and in OT at UGA - sandwiched around the aforementioned Kentucky game. The point is that they're probably not playing as badly as their W/L record might indicate. They've played the third toughest conference schedule to date (while A & M has played the worst SEC schedule). Arkansas was totally humiliated at A & M earlier this season, so there's that. A & M is a great team - but not one that finds itself in this spotlight often and is looking at a non-conference game against Iowa State Saturday then a game at Vanderbilt, so we'll see who the real Aggies are, starting tonight. One troubling thing about the Aggies is their 64% FT shooting, which as most know is something I have a hard time getting behind. They're winning with defense, which does travel, but the Hogs have been very good at protecting the ball and are shooting 45% in SEC play from behind the arc. The Aggies shot 11-26 from deep in the earlier pasting they gave the Hogs - that should regress for any number of reasons. They (Arkansas) let Jalen Jones completely go off - so I would expect Anderson to force someone else to beat them. Tyler Davis (Aggies starting center) didn't play against Missou ¤ri due to a foot injury, so he could be out/less than 100% - but I have looked at the game as if he is playing, so bonus if not - and without him they actually struggled a bit to beat Missouri. I'm putting the Aggies on potential upset alert.

#569 Boise St. / #570 UNLV OVER 149.0 Sportsbook.ag single-dime bet
Analysis:Still value in this number as I look back on past several games for both squads. Teams like Nevada & San Diego State are tough to play against because they play defense and both are offensively challenged at times in most of their contests. UNLV & Boise State both play better when they move the ball at a brisk pace and get up and down the court and quickly into their offenses. There are plenty of scorers for both teams. I doubt UNLV will sit back in this game at the Thomas & Mack as they come off their first loss in the Todd Simon era on Saturday at Reno. Boise State lost a home game 56-53 recently to San Diego State in which they stayed pat and did not push the tempo. HC Leon Rice may also be … auditioning for the UNLV Coaching job. If Boise wins a sluggish defensive style game that won't appeal to the Vegas faithful for future considerations. Fans here in town want to truly see the " RUNNIN REBELS" not the jogging or walking Rebels. Unless both teams shoot less than 40% from the floor this game should go over by 10 points or more!
