Usf +8

Marquette getting up to 7.5, if this gets up to 8.5 or 9 points then Marquette should be the play right? I mean these teams aren't that different in terms of talent

Vandy is pretty bad this year but they are usually tough at home and I'm not sure about USF right now. Might be worse teasing or a small bet though

I also like Marquette at +7. Not sure if the line will drop or go up at this point, cant see what the public is on just as of yet. With Tennessee getting blown out vs. temple the public could be on Marq but Im thinking they will probably be on Tennesee because the public loves the favs especially at home.

I could see Tennessee rolling at home after a tough loss.

Did you watch that temple game?? Tenn isn't nearly as good as last year

I don't know why anyone would touch a side on that USF/Vandy game. You've got two very schizo offensive teams that play good D. Could be a Vandy win by double digits or USF could score an upset. No edge whatsoever to me.

I'm going to start betting 1-2 games a night instead of playing such a large card from now on.

On to business, Marquette has been bet up to +7 at Tennessee tommorow and I see Marquette giving Tennessee a lot of trouble. Tennessee PANICS when other teams try to run with them and Marquette has the guard play to do just that. I haven't made up my mind yet but I'm really leaning towards Marquette +7. Will def. wait it out and see how far this line goes up though

TPowell, agree with you. Vols have lots of young talent but with Prince doubtful (DNP Temple) experience guard play should help Marq. beat press. Only getting +6.5 right now? Probably go for it anyway with something?

+6 now.

I liked it at +7, so I should probably like it at +6, but I'm not sure.

I have to agree and I am staying away from the game in general. But if I were to play the game it would be in a form of a teaser or ML with Vandy to just win at home where they are pretty tough. Just my two cents.

I've got Marquette +7, sorry about the delay but I've been preparing a little Christmas meal most of the day. Wish I could have got the +7.5 but I think 7 will be fine

laxdjock · 12-16-08, 05:50 PM

I got in at +6 Marq @ 1 unit.

I like your pick, just announced JP Prince out for Tenn. Good Luck
