With you on Wisc. and SD (they seem like their only going to get better) Wisc. might lose close but Purdue has no offensive power. Hummel has to be still hurting? SD good coached team and SC doesn't impress me. TPowell, what you think about UCLA? Ben wants this bad to let these guys know early in conf. play who's boss?

I'm not sold on either team to be honest. I'd lean towards UCLA but it seems like a square play so I'm sitting it out. Game should be pretty tight I'd think. I might throw in some kind of teaser tommorow with USC. USC +12.5 would be pretty good. Add in the 2 football games and UNC +5 and I like it

Sounds good! Big Eagles fan, homering a small but not confident wager on them, but probably your safe bet would be Pitts +4 & NY +6? Or maybe not? Was you boy Ricky sweating bullets on the sidelines today? To see Nova missing those give me's at the end! Louis. really controlled that game and to lose at the end would have been tough to swallow. Jay Wright must be tossing and turning thinking we could have stole one?

thanks for your picks, i picked up on your oklahoma and marquette plays saturday. the game that sticks out on sunday for me is weber state over east washington. do you have any thoughts on it?

TPowell · 01-11-09, 12:38 PM

I bet East. Washington already this year and lost, dont have a good feel for the conference

TPowell · 01-11-09, 12:39 PM

I read everywhere that Louisville stole the game and it pissed me off to no end. Louisville led the game for 38+ minutes and Villanova only led by 1 on 2 occasions. They were outmanned, we just didnt put them away

MrMonkey · 01-11-09, 12:50 PM

TPowell, Just what I wrote! Louis. deserved a +10 victory! Should have pulled the trigger on that one? Okla. did us good? Question my friend. What the hell happened with the Okla-KST line? Goes from -1 to +2 in 30 minutes? Almost made me want to absorb the juice loss? My big play and stuck with it! Any thoughts on Temple-2.5? Richmond fan so know alittle about A10. Thanks.

San Diego line moved to +1.5

MrMonkey · 01-11-09, 12:59 PM

Look above, Okla. seemed like money in your pocket and went from -1 to +2? Go figure? I stop doing too much reading into the lines and go with the team that will win. Purdue looks like a team that has too win?
Wisc 3-0 Purdue 0-2 Students back in house! One Wisc. win at Purdue in over 30 years? Gotta stick with Badgers!

yea, I agree. the OU line had me worried also.
but it makes me think I have missed something

San Diego Is a very strong play for me also. I am 10-2 on my very strong plays. I lost on them for the first time yesterday. Going into Saturday I was 9-0 on my top plays. going out I am now 10-2. Yesterday was a strange day. Of course it is the start of conference play. Many pre conference underacheiving teams make an opening week statement counter to the character they have been showing. The season should be divided into 4 phases. Nov and early Dec. are phase 1. Teams are developing their character. Good teams as awhole usually do well in this period. Phase 2- Exam week through the Holidays. Games and scheduling can be challenging to decipher. Big underdogs always do well in this period. Also many teams who are under performing get a chance to work out the kinks and without warning ,become better . Phase 3- Conference play. At the start it is a very tricky period to handicap . I had my first losing week and was amazed at how many teams performed counter to the earlier part of the season. I consider this week to be the start of phase 3. Confreence playis in full gear and the personalities of teams develope in predictable patterns. Phase 4 is the tournaments. Underdogs are good at first but are usually overtaken as tournament play go's on.
The card is boring today. I also like San Diego a little today.

I like E.WASH (-1) and SD (+1 now). DRAKE game may be tight.

OU may get beat by KENT ST (+125)...their 7foot giant is out for the season...

maniac0201 · 01-11-09, 02:09 PM

I like Penn St/Minnesota under 132

TPowell · 01-11-09, 06:03 PM

split my 10 unit games and won both 5 unit games. San Diego is down 6 at half. Need them to win and it'll be a pretty good day.

playtowin123 · 01-11-09, 06:17 PM

how do you feel about the wake/unc game?

Degen · 01-11-09, 07:06 PM

THank you TPOWELL for San Diego! You the man!

TPowell · 01-11-09, 07:22 PM

your welcome, they got down early but they played great in the second half. Need Drake to cover 11 for another win but so far 4-1 on the day for a total of 25 units.
