TP, you have been red hot but why is South Florida a big play for you? i know they just had a close lost to Clemson but they have also been beaten at home by 15 to Niagra. Also, do you think the Michigan game is a trap game and that's why your not taking it?

TPowell · 01-07-09, 12:27 AM

I really dont know what to think because Michigan should beat them pretty handily. I like South Florida because Louisville will come out flat IMO. South Florida played Syracuse pretty tough. Louisville's flight actually got airborne and had to come back to Louisville because of engine trouble. I wouldnt call this inside information but Louisville REALLY struggles to break away from South Florida type teams and this is UL's FIRST actual road game

Eh I like that South Florida +10. UL to inconsistant and USF can really slow things down. 10 points is alot of points to be getting at home in a conference game.

I love Northeastern (-2) as well! They're a pretty decent team...won 5 of 6 w/the only loss to Memphis! They've already won 5 road games and Georgia State is trash! They shot their wad trying to upset top dog George Mason on Monday!

i like your picks (and your record is very nice). bol

thanks twich, I usually only make power conference games as 10 or 15 unit plays but I really like Northwestern tonight and it doesnt seem like a trap. I couldnt really find a play that I REALLY liked a lot like Georgia last night but I think South Florida might be the only one that I would consider making a 15 unit play and I won't because of my bias towards UL.

Hammer Rutgers into the ground, take whatever money you were going to spread out on yorur card tonight and put it all on Rutgers.

TPowell · 01-07-09, 11:50 AM

yeah Marquette has looked pretty good in Big East play though. I thought about making it a 10 unit play but I'm not sold on Rutgers ability to show up. They should cover from everything I've looked at but you never know. If the Marquette guards go off, they might not cover.

Tigers1230 · 01-07-09, 11:59 AM

Love the plays TP. I'm hitting up:

Northeastern
South Florida
Cinci
Southern Miss
Memphis

Whats the thought on st bonnies-4.5 any one like them

Tigers1230 · 01-07-09, 12:39 PM

I have seen a few people on them. Don't know anything about the team though.

Thanks

Unless Southern Miss. covers, this will be the first losing day of the week. Still a pretty good week for me overall with +80 units unless Southern Miss turns it around. Card for tommorow looks pretty weak with a lot of mid majors but hopefully there will be some games I can find an edge on. BOL to everybody
