Leans for Saturday 12/20/08

[Spoon]

Shoe, whatcha like in hoops? There are some really sweet games on today.

[killersweet]

Why are the sixers favored by 10.5 over Indi?

[Clutchski]

well it starts with the fact Indiana is coming off of an overtime loss last night and they need to travel to philly.

[killersweet]

Yea, I guess. But Sixers played last night on the road as well right? May be cuz Sixers have won 3 in a row.

[Spoon]

Why are the sixers favored by 10.5 over Indi?

Danny Granger: Out w/Flu
Troy Murphy: Out w/Flu
Marquis Daniels:Out w/Neck Injury

[shoebox]

Spoon,

Only two plays in cbb. Xavier points and texas tech

GL homie

[UndersSuck]

WOW do the lakers SUCK!!! they havent covered in 8 straight games. I have learned my lesson. Never gonna touch them again. I even teased them down to a PK last night!! That team is way too inconsistent.

[SlicWilly3]

What do you guys think about some of cbb dog's on the ML today?

UConn +145
Davidson +170
Xavier +230

[Spoon]

I could possibly see UConn since I have them with points, but I like Purdue - not Davidson. The Duke / Xavier game should be a good one though. GL

Willy,
No way Duke should be getting that many points against a quality team like xavier. Duke gets inflated spreads all the time and do not deserve this one. I was feeling more like Duke -3. F the money line take the points and increase your chances of cashin
GL

[Spoon]

Shoe, Duke is laying the points in this game - not getting.

[SlicWilly3]

I ended up taking these 4 dogs on the ML:

Xavier 200 to win 430
Arizona 200 to win 230
UConn 200 to win 290
Syracuse to win 640

I think Syracuse can definitely win this game. The line is high because Devendorf is starting his 5 game suspension. But Cuse is fairly deep and Memphis is young and inconsistent. Not saying Cuse will win.....Memphis could win this easily. But I love the value of Syracuse ML because they can definitely win this game.
I love taking cbb dog's on the ML, because anything can happen.....Any other ML Dog's any of you guys feel good about today?

[SlicWilly3]

Yeah I don't feel very confident about Davidson winning so I took them on a 4 team teaser 200 to win 700:

Davidson +8 1/2
UConn +7 1/2
Texas -2 1/2

and Colorado State +8 1/2 in CFB.

I think Stephan Curry keeps it close, the kid is just too $money$

[Spoon]

Flynn didn't practice yesetrday so is he playing against Memphis?

[pronk]

GL homie

Shoebox, Duke- Xavier game will be played in E.Rutherford New Jersey. Duke wins by 8+.

Oops my bad typed it up wrong

[SlicWilly3]

Sorry to be thread jackin fella's....But my local uses bodoglife.com for his spreads.....And they are often late win lines.....The Laker line just popped up at LAKERS-1 at ORLANDO?!?

I was expected the Lakers to be getting a 3 or 4....

It actually opened as a PK @ BetJam. ;-)

[shoebox]

Pronk
To late already did it. Who you liking today CK speaks highly of you, im also playing texas tech.
Thanks

[Spoon]

I know you didn't ask me, Shoe, but here is my hoops card...

UConn +4.5 (Hook)
Miami-Ohio +8.5
Georgia Tech -13.5

[SlicWilly3]

CK....I know you liked Lakers plus pts.....But what does everyone like now?

Orlando at home +1 or as a pk?

[shoebox]

Spoon already saw em on page one I always check what cha got bro

[shoebox]

CK....I know you liked Lakers plus pts.....But what does everyone like now?

Orlando at home +1 or as a pk?

Im wih Spoon on this, bet with Orlando or dont bet em at all. I already learned my lesson with LA. A juggernaut on paper, a teletubby on the court.

[SlicWilly3]

Flynn didn't practice yesetrday so is he playing against Memphis?

Hmmm, not sure....I really hope so...I was actually unaware that he was hurt or anything.
I already put in my Cuse ML though.....

[W0lfy]

I like the Lakers. The line is close to what it should be. Orlando is playing great basketball, but I think the lakers will come out and show they can still win on the road. Howards not going against a nobody either, Bynum and Gasol together with the center rotation should be able to wear Howard down. Lamar when in game should give Rashard problems, along with D fish on Nelson. To add most people got screwed by the lakers because they were giving up a ton of points to the opponoent, this fits in nicely.

2 very strong plays at 2 PM:

N.Carolina -28 (they should win by 35+)

Texas -6 (game played in Houston) easy $$$

GL.

Update: Flynn injured his right hip in Syracuse's win over Canisius on Wednesday so it will be a decision at game time whether or not he plays. Memphis is good so I would watch this closely so you can take corrective action and put in a hedge if needed. GL

[SlicWilly3]

Just added Minnesota 200 to win 780 ML against L'Ville.....

This is one of those games where I think L'Ville comes out strong and rolls, covering easy.....Or they come out flat like they have....And lose SU.

[jalein]

Also adding SAC/NO UNDER 197.5 (the two combined are 3-7 favor the UNDER in the last 5 games) also NO defense will keep the Kings with a score averaging 85-92!

Am I seeing this the worng way?
Just want some inputs (because the bet is already made )

I like the bet. Also didnt Sac just have a major barn burner that went well over 100 pts? The fatigue factor, the fact that NO actually has and can play defense? I like the the play.

[Spoon]

Unbelievable...this is exactly how my last Saturday began... when Tennessee lost to Temple on my very first game of the day. Miami-Ohio (my first game) can't even manage to score more than 12 points in a 16 minute time period. Unreal!

I'm staying away from college hoops if my day goes south. I do fine in every other play, but hoops seems to be giving me a headache now.

[BookBuster]

Hey ck the MRS. has any thoughts on charlotte?

[cocknocker]

Spoon,

I have Kansas already anyway. I like the fact that KU is coming off of a loss and Temple is coming in off an upset win. Also with Kansas falling out of the top 25, I REALLY like them now. They are usually lights out at home on campus against non conference foes. I am going to pile drive this one. Also I like your pick of Georgia Tech. I have them slated to win by 15 in that game. i just hope that they don't lose interest and give up a back door cover. Pepperdine is weak as Kool-Aid without sugar.

As a side not, Wake Forest is ahead in ALL categories here at the half except the scoreboard. Navy is ahead only because of a turnover touchdown. I think that Wake will still get the job done, but I am not putting anything on the second half, and will watch it. I am pounding South Florida though. think that they will jump out against Memphis in this one because of the lesson they learned last year when Oregon pummeled them. They will be playing with fear of embarrasment.

I think that Colorado State will get the job done too in the next game. They aren't supposed to win anyway. The Bulldogs give up too many points on defense,and that is the reason whythey aen't as good as in years past. I am not putting too much on these colleg games, just fun money for something to do today while I get ready for the serious pounding this evening.

[cocknocker]

Bookbuster,

I will have to call her. She is out spending money some damn where as usual and getting her pamper day in (you know hair, nails & toes etc.) I will call her and get back to you on it.

[BookBuster]

thanks man. I'm thinking about throwing all the top plays on 1 parlay card for fun. I got Bucks, Bulls/Jazz Under, Baltimore and South Florida, I need 1 more for a 5 play...could be Charlotte? they did pretty well last night but being almost 7 point favorites is pretty big

[maddogmadden86]

with 70percent of the public on the lakers who i honestly cant beleive lost to the midget heat and the magic being home a nd getting points really thinking about playing the magic here as i feal that howard and company will bring their 3 ball skills and hand the lakers their first two game losing streak of the year, they are just underperforming and with 70 percent of the people on the lakers really thinking about taking the amgic also they outscore oppents at home more then the lakers do away and over the past 5
