Basketball Parlay of the Day Contest - Monday, 1/14/08

[jeffries]

Georgetown -2 .. Think their a better team overall next to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh sees its first home loss here

Georgetown/Pittsburgh Under 132.5 - It's all about defense!

[MOONCRICKET]

parlay

georgetown -1' : a little nervous about the home dog monday night factor, but this gtown team is just too tough. i expect them to open it up late and win by 6-10 pts.

pepperdine +13: from what i have seen of this bunch this year they are athletic, they run, and they score in bunches. unfortunatley they also get run on, and scored on in bunches as well. hoping here that the +13 at home should be enough. look for pepp to have a slim lead at halftime and cough it up late losing by single digits.

[rake922]

Seattle Supersonics +5½
Seattle plays at home tonight vs the Lakers. Andrew Bynum injured his knee last night and will be out of the lineup. Kwame Brown is a definite downgrade for the Lakers so I look for Seattle to keep the score close tonight.

San Antonio Spurs -11½
San Antonio plays at home tonight vs Philadelphia. Philadelphia has struggled recently and have lost 7 of 8 games. Spurs are 18-3 straight up at home and I think they'll blow out the Sixers tonight

[juuso]

702 Charlotte Bobcats +4½

Bobcats have been improving, playing solid ball lately. Like them here as a home dog. Denver is a good team, but I don't trust them on the road.


724 Hawaii -6

Thinking Rainbow Warriors have solid a shot of winning this by comfortable margin. Some value on them at -6 IMO.

[McRich]

Celtics over Wizards
I think Boston is due to play out of their funk.

Kansas over Oklahoma
Kansas is one of the few elite teams that covers. I am sticking with them.

Parlay record 3-9. Parlay game record 14-10.

[beaneaters]

Portland +5. Blazers are 5-1 ATS in last six as a dog.

Lakers -5.5. Should reassert themselves after a narrow win previous night.

[KidDynamite]

Georgetown -1.5 vs Pittsburgh
Pitt is too injured.

Over 194.5 Dallas vs Sacramento
Dallas high scoring offense and no d makes the over.

[bookie]

Denver-Charlotte 209un... A long trip for Denver with the Nene thing casting pall over the team versus an opponent that will zone them and make them make jump shots which won't be there which will force Denver to play defense which they can do versus this team that is off a bunch of dramatic games.

Portland +5...They're young and their coach used one of his bullets against them by saying they didn't scrap vs. Toronto and I think they'll play better here against a Nets team that's 5-15 at home.

[msubulldog]

pepperdine +13
hawaii/san jose 0ver 138

pepperdine is 9-2 ats as dog this year will take generous points with home dog which covers god in dog role

hawaii san jose over- look for similiar game total possessions
of 52-55 which should result in over 145 points. hawaii shot really bad against nevada having 64 possessions to nevada's 51 and getting killed. hawaii defense last 5 giving up over 50% field goal %.

[ipickwinners]

trailblazers +5

trailblazers have struggled as of late, but they are still one of the hottest teams in the NBA ill play them getting points for at least 2-3 more games


mavericks -6

just too much star power as the mavs should roll on the kings, no good matchups in SAC's favor

[VBOMBER]

Milwaukee/Utah under 210 - I think this will be much more of a slow tempo type game rather than an up-tempo game, and therefore even though neither of these teams play much D, it should stay under the number.

Portland/NJ under 187.5 - I think this will be a half court game, and hopefully Portland's legs will be tired enough to keep this under the number

[goldengoat]

laker -5.5
sonics are garbage. lakers still got kobe who will step up and lead

oklahoma +16.5
kansas is good but okla is battle tested and looking to not get punked like last year

[jeffscds]

Wizards +11.5 Washington playing well right now!
Nets -5 Going against the public. Steve Blake hurt and back to back on the road = Portland loss!

[eidolon]

I know its too late, but here are my 2 picks anyways.

Seems like I'm going against most ppl here but here they are:

Charlotte +4.5

Milwaukee +10

[spliff]

710 Utah Jazz -10 Under 210 both teams are more defense oriented than people think--- this one is a great play.

713 Dallas Mavericks -6 just taking the far better team here= this line need to be 9 or so in my book

[Data]

711 Over 209
712 Seattle Supersonics +5½

Kwame Brown will be starting tonight. He is in bad shape after missing too many games due to injuries and with him the Lakers will not be scoring as many points as they did with Bynum.

[Peyton2MarvinN06]

Portland -4.5 Loyola has lost 7 straight games and Portland is a pretty solid team...

Hawaii -6 The Warriors are a tough team to play @ home and San Jose St. has been having some problems lately

[durito]

i was planning on passing on the contest today. should have stuck with that
