Who are these imaginary peeps you speak of?
Though there is a warning alert. Be sure to take a look at some of the games tonight.
Starting off with 2 games that are good to bet on.
1) Florida International -1.5
Most probably will get them at -2.5, but if you can get them even at -2 go for it. I know this team well, and they like most teams, have sucked this season but have a very, very good coach. They play well at home, and though neither team can score points, this team can shoot actually very well. I like the the inside game advantage where if they get up by man over zone, then this team should find easy baskets often.
(yes, this line is at 3 or even 3.5 in most places, though I suppose you could find a 1.5 taker if you lived in Flamers' La-La Land)
2) Western Michigan -1
Some might find this game will jump to -3 but don't worry. This team should be able to win by 15. Western Michigan will bound the line, and if they continue to bound, the otherside will start to shoot more than they should. WM isn't a very good team, but alot better than the Eastern Michigan.
(Again, this line is fabricated, as it sits at 3 in almost every book-but I suppose a guy betting $80,000 on each side could get the line set at whatever he wants. Flamers, if you're going to bet both sides and set your own lines, go for something more attractive, like Western Michigan +24. I'm not saying a person COULDN'T get these games at 1.5 because with the right reputation, strings can be pulled, offers taken at reduced/elevated juice, etc. but with the insight you've provided for your picks, I find it highly improbable that you carry that type of weight).
BONUS PLAY-
Stay away from the Duke vs Clemson game if you think Duke should win. Duke is not a very good team, and though they make the tournament, this is a team that might lose 1st game, and get blown away.
But this is conference play, and any team can win a game, and Duke is any team. I say this game will come down to the final play, with GP hitting a 3 to win.
Duke wins, but who cares ----------DUKE IS A BAD BAD TEAM!
