40 DIMER - GEORGIA TECH (2:20 PM TIP-OFF!)....20 DIMER - TEXAS...10 DIMER - SAN ANTONIO
40 DIMER - GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS - 2:20 PM TIP-OFF!!!!!
Keep in mind, this is an afternoon tip-off, so make sure to get down early on this baby!
I know Georgia Tech is just 11-18 on the season, including getting swept in the season series by the Tigers, but both games saw the Yellow Jackets come within a basket of covering.
Playing at the Georgia Dome has got to give the Techsters a bit of a boost, and I suspect they will be an outright threat for the better part of the 40 minutes Thursday afternoon in Atlanta.
Clemson doesn't exactly enter brimming with confidence, as the Tigers 3 of their last 4 straight up, and 5 of their last 9 straight up! I am sure Oliver Purnell's team will be happy with any win they can get, and I really see this one going right down to the wire.
Take the points as Georgia Tech makes it 7 straight 40 Dime College Dog Shockers for the G-Man!
20 DIMER - TEXAS LONGHORNS - 3:00 PM
While Texas didn't cover yesterday against Colorado, they were also never threatened in that game. Sure, this is a back-to-back situation, but I like the fact the Longhorns got themselves familiar with the venue, and I think that will give them a little bit of an advantage.
Kansas State is just 3-4 straight up their last 7, but it is their spread mark that has me liking the Longhorns, as the Wildcats have failed 4 straight, and are 0-5-1 against the spread their last 6 lined games.
This is a revenge spot for the 'Horns who did lose an 85-81 overtime affair at home to K-State back on January 31st.
The Longhorns have won 3 of the last 5, and 6 of the last 10 series meetings, and a straight up win today would likely cover this one, especially if Texas hits their free throws, which I think they will.
Lay it!
10 DIMER - SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Obvious bad schedule spot for the Lakers who had to tangle with the Rockets last night, and while the Lakers are 10-5 when playing with no rest, the Spurs have had an extra days rest, and they are riding a 3-game win and cover streak on this current 4-game homestand.
The home team has won both meetings this season, and the host has won 9 of the last 10 - playoffs included - dating back to 2007.
With this game priced near a pick, have to side with the rested host over the back-to-back traveling visitor, even if the visitor is Kobe and the Lakers.
Take San Antone as they complete the homestand at 4-0 both straight up, and against the spread.
Here yall since nobody else would!!!
