Big card so I'd like to get some thoughts here....

Richmond +8 vs. Butler
Villanova +5.5 vs. Pittsburgh
Maryland -1.5 vs. NC State
Loyola-Chicago +2 at UIC
Drake +1.5 vs. Evansville
Boise State -2 vs. New Mexico

Last one might be my favorite. Love Marks and the Broncos. Pitt hasn't impressed me much. I feel like the Maryland line is kind of speaking for itself, and NC State's coming off the Duke win, but I'm not overly confident in the Terps even though they're like 11-1 at home. Drake is desperate for an MVC win.

I follow the ACC religiously and I believe your right on the Maryland game, the line speaks for itself. State
is gonna have a letdown after beating Duke, but what has Maryland done recently? Lost to both FSU and Miami after starting the season solid. Their weak OOC schedule is starting to show and it is hard to place my confidence in them. Any thoughts to make them a rock solid play?

Nice start to the day. I am Huge Cuse fan and Big East follower. Pitt is easily 6 points better than Nova but home could make the difference. Tough call on that one. I am hedging as always with a three team 8 point tease. I have trouble staying over 50/50 consistently without the extra points.

Wednesday Picks 3TT

NC State +9.5
Butler PKM
Maquette -1

Agree. NC State is obviously the superior team here, so you're betting on a letdown -- a possibility, but no guarantee.

Only other team/game I'm kind of considering is George Washington if I can get them at +5 vs. Temple.

Dropping Drake. I just can't back them the way they've been playing.

Adding UTEP -2 at Tulsa.

i like provo+7.5,, dont think gtown is strong enough offensively to lay this big a number here.. i lean under a pretty low number so the points were to much for me to pass up..

dont really trust maryland but it seems like fading ranked road dogs has been even better than usual this season, or maybe it just me but i dont recall to many unranked home favs losing so it either maryland or nothing...on same note kinda like boise but worry kirk can kill them down low if nm is smart enough to play thru him and he is into the game. i think the total 131.5 is a little light as both teams offensive strengths are defensive weaknesses for each other....

played maryland and boise

Yeah I def like Evansville over Drake. Also, whats your angle on GW over Temple? Also I like Pitt to handle Villanova...

Im surprised to see the public backing both Maryland and Boise here though.

also new mexico going on the road and beating cincy shows they have what it takes to win away from the pit

Agree with that, but I'm not a big Alford fan and I feel like if he kills me with a good gameplan, it will be the first time and so be it.

I'm starting to shy away from MD. The more I look into it, I'm just worried about the talent gap in that game.

yea maryland is hard to cap as their numbers so inflated by that shit schedule, they should be able to do some things on the glass as wolfpack not great on the defensive boards, whether that enough i dunno...

guess we gonna see bout this total move shit tonight, got on the right side of nm/boise at over 131.5 (missed open), but now it up to 134, these been the ones i miss, it the ones that move against me that been cashing lately for whatever reason, lol..
