leaning the other way on the Zona game. Think the wildcats get their first loss tomorrow in Eugene.

Seems might fishy that the 4th ranked team would be -1 at an unranked Oregon team. Seems like Vegas is begging for Zona money

Well, if you look at Zona's last 3 game... They have really struggled. I'm gonna stay away, but really it's two choices here. Do you think Zona will continue to struggle? or will they bounce back in Oregon.

Eugene can be a tough place for any team to play. Also, Oregon has been a good sleeper pick so far in the season. They can play tough

53-29-3 (64.6%) + $1812 (36.24 units)
starting bankroll $1000
current bankroll $2812
(4-1 on 2x plays)
Let me first say that you guys know I'm rarely on the public side on these types of games. This is just a spot where I think the Wildcats are just being undervalued. I was on SDST and Colorado against Zona but I'm riding them in this matchup as a 2 unit play.
Sean Miller's bunch will be focused, they are not going to come into Eugene and take this game lightly. I've read quotes all week from Coach Miller and several players stating that they are aware they have gotten lucky a few times and know that won't continue. They have said they need to play better and I really think they will be motivated tonight to match the intensity that this Oregon Duck squad will bring tonight.
I expect a terrific game, but I think Arizona will find a way to win just like they have been doing.
This play seems too easy to be true, and that normally holds true, but I'm sticking to my guns in this one.
Arizona -1 2x
Colorado returning home after an awful trip to the state of Arizona. I question this teams confidence at this point after blowing two big leads back to back. I see a hangover spot here, they are facing a USC who has been horrible at times but is improving.
Colorado will be a big public play as everyone saw them get robbed against arizona and USC has been terrible against the spread going 4-10 and 0-4 on the road. I'm siding w/ vegas in this situation and I've already seen this line drop to 8 @ some shops.
This line is simply set too high and I'll take a shot w/ the road dog here.
USC +8.51x
I'm confident I'll beat both of these closing lines as well.
and good luck...

I am on Zona with you for 2x.
Great write up, btw.
I can't play USC. I just can't get myself to do it. I have Colorado in a HUGE ML play, so I'm really hope the buffs win. But I am staying away from this game ATS.
BoL, KID.
Thanks for your work. You're without-a-doubt one of SBRs most valuable posters!

Any opinion on under 122 state/northwestern
Both teams play slow and slower..
Looks like a game first to 50 wins

prob passing on the cats/ducks gm,, i can see both sides, typically id be on the ducks but really they havnt played hardly anyone so i dont trust the numbers they been piling up, far as zona they have benefited from a lot of home cooking by the refs, not only the col gm but the gator gm was basically gift wrapped and i doubt that the case tonight..
far as other 1 i been waiting for the number to drop on the buffs all day cause i just dont think usc matches up well at all, ive watched the trojans 3-4 times and they are lazy defensively (as in they dont move their feet) which seems to be backed up by the fact they send opponents to the line quite a bit and are allowing teams to shoot damn near 38% from 3 which ranks 308 nationally and it just so happens buffs can stroke the 3 and get to the line quite a bit..not huge fan of laying this kind of number with a team that doesnt shoot free throws great but if col is hitting anywhere near their season percentage from 3 i think they win by dd..i guess this the public side i be on tonight if i can get -8 or lower...at least on of us will cash, or even better i can get a -7.5 and it lands on 8 ....either way gl tonight LK, you one of the few good dudes worth talking to round here..

Yeah I read you're analysis in another thread about the USC game and I hate when you're against me, as I respect you're capping tremendously.
I see you are expecting the number to drop as well, which I do agree with. I think this closes at 7.5.
One of my biggest goals is trying to beat the closing number I really think it's very important to win long term. This situation the line is too high, now could USC get blown out, of course. But I think they cover this number tonight, as I imagine Vegas is tired of the 4-10 ats mark by USC up to this point.
Public perception of these two teams are complete opposites (some for good reason) so this allows vegas to set the high number in this spot.
If they set this number @ say 6.5 (which I thought it should be) all the action they'd get on Colorado won't change that much than putting this line out @ 8.5 like that did.
This is simply a value play against a team in Colorado that I think could be really down on themselves and that's not a good combination going into a game that they should win easy.
I'm guessing USC's preparation (as a slightly improving team) will be more focused than Colorado's Prep ( as a team coming off two blown leads, one against a top 5 team that got stolen from them)

I'm on that Arizona play too! Thinking of doing a parlay with Arizona -1 and Cal Poly +2 or ML.
I do however I think Colo will cover against USC but the Arizona play is an easy win
**EDIT**
Then again I didnt know Booker was out and even if he does play he can not be 100% with a knee injury

sadly for the populace you prob right they more than likely would hit it at 6.5 or 8.5 just the same even tho there a big damn difference, lol.. not gonna lie i would hammer buffs @ -6.5! you do make good points about where each teams heads will be at, usc just so freaking bad which obviously is the perception everyone has but after watching them a few times i think perception and reality are pretty close on this...

Sup fellas, nice to see my two favorite hoops minds discussing games in here in Kid and Banker. Books need to fear this thread!
You know, I do like Zona tonight. I fully understand people saying they're overrated since they were gift wrapped at least two of their wins. But the funny thing is that they've actually underachieved lately, despite the wins. Miller knows this, They know this, and I think they play better tonight. Hey, do u guys like the under, it's up to 144! That's too high to me, these are two teams who can defend and who haven't been shooting great lately.

Thank you, sir. Well, with hoops I eat at the kids' table, occasionally making an intelligent comment and getting nods of approval from the grownups. With NFL, however, I get to sit at the big table (+25 units this season in my thread, three straight winning seasons, etc. )
Shoot, man, I don't know what to do with Zona/Ducks... I might have to just watch and bet it at halftime!
