College Hoops Week of Feb.4

[woodee12]

Thanks, thats more like it!

a &M made be nervous in the first half after some cold shooting but turned it up in the second. I watched the game and they are a pretty good team but I think maybe a bit over-rated too. May be a good go against in another road situation in the future vs. a better team.

[woodee12]

Haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet...

My earlky leans are

Duke +4.5 at UNC...Lawson probably won't play. MY UNC buddy says he makes this team click and woithout him, he thinks duke will steal a win. Hes a huge UNC fan and know more about them than a lot of people. May by it to 5 or may lay off.

Auburn +2 vs. UK...Nice home dog here in SEC play. Like going against UK whenever I can.

Evansville +2 vs. Witchy State...another good home doggy here. Witchy is not the team they once were, but Evansville sucks too.

Minny -5 at Nwestern...Hard to pull the trigger here. Minny turned the ball over 18 times on Sunday at wiscy. Will they come in focused to beat a NW team that has not won in the big 10 yet or are they a strong home dog too? Brad need your insight in this one.

Iowa/Wiscy...tempting to take Iowa here in a game which will be low scoring--total is at 112. Iowa has improved lately and is at home. Think they are the smart play.

like today

C.Mich @ Bowl Green-2

Maryland -1 @ BC

Nebraska @ Kansas State-10
After getting thumped by mizzou, they should be refocused at home like they were with Kansas. Nebraska doesn't impress me on the road.

was liking
Texas Tech @ Baylor-7
Baylor is very good team and they have ran into trouble with 2 losses in a row, facing TT who is just 1-6 on the road, but with Knights son taking over I will pass on this.

Revenge factor:
Minny @ N'Western+5 1/2
but NW is O-8 in conf. and looks horrible, not taking this one either

so just the top 3 for me.

[woodee12]

7:00PM St Josephs at Duquesne -1
CBB 8:00PM Kentucky at Auburn +2
CBB 8:00PM Wichita State at Evansville +2
CBB 8:00PM Wisconsin at Iowa +7½
CBB 9:00PM NC Wilmington +3 at Delaware

Going to roll with the above. Passing on UNC-Duke and will juts watch.

Lots of home teams and one road team who will hopefully beat the living hell out of a deleware team that has screwed me the last 3 times I have bet on them.

[zshimer]

Like the Minnesota -5, but only going to play Wake -2. Good luck to everyone today.

[woodee12]

4-1 on Wednesday. I got my revenge on Deleware and that felt good.

Auburn just missed the cover and some may have pushed on that one.

Iowa hung around and actually could have won that game if they knew how to close.

Evansville won SU.

Duqunse won by a ton taking advantage of a tired St. Joes team.

Duke was on fire from 3 land. Unc hung even thought they were exchanging 2's for 3's all night.

Pretty predictable night for the games last night as everything went as expected. I see one of those messed up nights tonight as the oddsmakers catch up.

Carpet, what do you think about Indy/Illinois? Illinois grabbing 2 at home as I type. Hard not to take the home dog here.

Nothing really sticks out at me tonight. Kinda looking at Oregon State +16 at Cal and Northern Arizona -5 vs. Portland State.

[dragon1952]

Great day again! Tough luck on the Auburn game. I ended up playing it on a 4 pt teaser.

[dragon1952]

Man, what a lousy card tonite

[woodee12]

heres what I got for today:

2/7/08 7:30PM Wright State at Cleveland State -3
2/7/08 8:30PM Portland State at Northern Arizona -5½
2/7/08 10:00PM Southern Cal -1 at Washington
2/7/08 10:30PM Oregon State +16 at California

2 road team and 2 home teams. Think Cleve State plays well tonight and roughs up Wright State on thier home floor. This one has one of those revenge angles on it as Cleve State won last time too.

The others are more by gut.

[dragon1952]

I have USC also...think they are way more consistent and have won 5 out of the last 6 games, all Pac 10, including two big road wins over UCLA and Oregon. Washington has lost it's last 2 home games to Stanford and Cal. USC has beaten them by 15 already.
I also like UCLA. The last time they met, the Cougars shot 52% from the field including 13 of 21 3's and UCLA still won by 7. Can't see them shooting that good again. UCLA has only 2 losses and just can't see them losing here.

A couple home dogs that look interesting are Virginia +2 vs Clemson and N. Texas +4.5 vs W. Kentucky. Virginia has been on the verge the last 6 games in losing in OT 3 times, a big 18 pt home win vs Boston College and a 2 pt loss at Florida St. Clemson has lost their last 2 road games (although one was to Duke). N. Texas recently won SU vs S. Alabama in a similar home dog position.

[dragon1952]

Well so much for Virginia being game

[woodee12]

2-2 yesterday for me. Actually 2-3 with the Illinois play I forgot to post.

[woodee12]

Friday:

Penn +7 at Columbia. Hell of a lot of points to be laying for a team with 8 wins. Penn is 3-0 in conference.

ML Parlay:

Celtics/Yale...How weird of a play is this?

Back Saturday...Keying on a couple of teams already so we'll see how the lines shake out. Looking for Mizzou to be a home dog against A &M which would be a nice play. Along with South Carolina possibly gettign a coupls at home vs. Vandy.

[garister]

2-1 wed. lost in OT with BG

Debated about this play all day and decided to pull the trigger

7PM PST SF +20(B+.5) @ St Marys
I don't like going against the local boys, but this is a classic let down situation for STM just beating the top Dogs in OT, STM already thumped SF by 22 on 1/26 so i think the will be over confident too.

SF has Revenge in mind and now that the coach finally got his 800th career win they can play loose. SF 7-5 ATS on the road is also a good stat. They only lost by 8 at the Zags too.

I also like the NBA
Wash/Denver Over 209 at 730PST on ESPN

SATURDAY PLAYS

These are my plays for Saturday

Baylor +18 vs Kansas

This Baylor team is pretty good and I am sure
it will be the best guards Kansas has seen all
year.

Butler -5.5 vs Wisconsin Green Bay

Yes I know that the WGB Phoenix last 9
games have been fewer than 10 points.

Wisky Green Bay Phoenix are 8-2 when
games are decided by 8 points or less

Butler is a far superior team, usually a
second half team and should win going away.

Wisky has no bench and the starters
foul out almost every game.

PURDUE +10.5 vs Wisconsin

The Big School in Wisconsin the Badgers
at home vs the up start 24th ranked Purdue Boliermakers.

The Badgers are tough at home, we all know that

My numbers are showing that this will be a
close game, wisky by 3.

Good Luck all
