I read an article about this game. The winner of this game will be 2nd and face Argentina next. Then, USA probably in the Semis. The loser will face France next and probably Russia in the Semis. Thus, the loser of this game will avoid USA until the gold-medal matchup.

ah what dirty asses.

Be careful here. IOC are taking hard action and correctly so for teams throwing matches. Their was incidents in the badminton last week where similar things occured and the IOC DQ'd the teams. This match tonight you can be sure is under intense observation. Just thought Id let you guys know.

Thanks, alamo! But I think they'll rest Marc Gasol and Carlos Navarro because of injuries. So best value may be is on Brazil+6.5.. Or I thin the under is interesting also at 152.5.

Spain away like to tank game and hide all the play for the US but i dont know anything can happen

EaglesPhan36 · 08-06-12, 02:26 PM

Likely not around at half time again for this time slot unless they play a sloooow 2nd quarter. Good luck!

alamo · 08-06-12, 02:42 PM

Took the over in this game. With IOC observing both teams scoring lots. A lot of people on here said no one would play hard. Its anything but!

younghandicapper · 08-06-12, 02:54 PM

I think the under still has a chance here. Spain shooting 67% in 1st. That won't happen again. Brazil at 44%, not be the case. I hope you're wrong, cause I'm on the under here. But GL!

younghandicapper · 08-06-12, 03:07 PM

I think I have a bad reasoning here. Took the under because of that issue and defense will prevail because next ones are knockout games. Ohwell..

alamo · 08-06-12, 03:07 PM

Neither team is playing defense. Getting easy layins. Brazil look like their happy to let the Spanish score on the inside.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-06-12, 03:45 PM

Yeah I think people over think with the conspiracy theories. I am not worrying aboujt what Argentina will or won't do next regarding where they want to finish. Expecting Tean USA to show better focus and put up points no matter the outcome.

USA Team Total Over 104 (-110)

EaglesPhan36 · 08-06-12, 08:35 PM

Worked a 3-2 day with a couple near misses on team totals that I'm still not quite sure how they fell short. But anywho, a winning day is a-ok. Money time now for the KO rounds. Women start tomorrow.

The O-Face: 19-14-1 [+3.45]

EaglesPhan36 · 08-07-12, 06:21 AM

8.7.12: (Women 1st Half) USA-Canada Under 75.5 (-110)

EaglesPhan36 · 08-07-12, 08:50 AM

Morning Oooooo-face.

Probably mainly 2nd halves today although I need to look @ the afternoon games still.

silvap · 08-07-12, 09:31 AM

Nice hit on the first play of the day sir

EaglesPhan36 · 08-07-12, 11:00 AM

[2nd Half] Australia-China Over 70 [-110]

EaglesPhan36 · 08-07-12, 11:51 AM

F-ing Chinese broads. Think that was at least twice they helped fukk a play this tournament. Was in reasonably good shape thru the 4th Q with 20 points about half way thru, just needed 14 to push - instead they combine for friggin eight. Damn yooze.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-07-12, 02:38 PM

[2nd Half] Russia-Turkey Under 65 [-110]

younghandicapper · 08-07-12, 02:40 PM

Why under?

EaglesPhan36 · 08-07-12, 03:58 PM

Its a formula based pick calculating number of possessions and looking at the 1st half stats. Pretty much sums up my day. 3rd Q has a shitload of points and then it looks like it will still come home late and then fouls and shit fukk it all up. This has been a real painful fukking afternoon across the board. Cannot believe the number of last minute things that screwed up a series of plays. Ready to crawl into a hole for a bit.

This is true! Was ****** up a while ago on over China/Aussie cause of the last minute bullshit. Glad I bought points on over 124 last game and +5 on Turkey.

jimm246 · 08-07-12, 04:57 PM

what the play for 2h Fra/Crz game EP36?

EaglesPhan36 · 08-07-12, 05:02 PM

None. Total is pretty much in line with possessions. With a close game, FTs could factor in late so no edge either way really.

jimm246 · 08-07-12, 05:06 PM

Ok EP36 Ill see tomorrow. Thank for the picks bro.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-07-12, 08:49 PM

I am ready to rape these mother Fers on Wednesday. They will pay for their insolence on Tuesday.

The O-Face: 20-16-1 [+2.25]

(2nd Half) Lithuania-Russia Under 78

Sheisty start.

Argentina Team Total Over 82 (-110)

EaglesPhan36 · 08-08-12, 02:22 PM

[Basketball] Australia Team Total Over 79 [-110][Basketball] Australia Team Total Over 79 [-110]

EaglesPhan36 · 08-08-12, 02:39 PM

No half time play for Brazil-Argentina. Possessions are actually very low, but both offenses highly efficient. Will not yield much of an edge for the formula I use. Will look to the USA-Aussies later maybe to see if we can finish off with another one there. Good luck with your choices.

The U.S. team D hasn't exactly been sharp the last 2 games and ya gotta figure in a blowout game there will be some easy buckets in the 4th qtr.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-08-12, 03:17 PM

USA doesn't play much D. Especially lazy against 3s where Aussies excel. They can give up almost 100 like last game and still win by 20+ so I doubt they are going to start playing stout D. Aussies could be cold, but I think as mentioned with loads of garbage time I think they score in the 80s.

EaglesPhan36 · 08-08-12, 03:50 PM

Damn Argentina went cold in the 4th. Keep fouling .....

EaglesPhan36 · 08-08-12, 03:52 PM

FuKK. Push better than a loss, but damn Scola! One FT and would have gone over.
