Overnight Radar Screen

Just got back from playing 2-5 NL Texas Holdem. I had profitable evening. After analyzing a few games, let's put Massachussetts on teh radar screen against Xavier. Big Points and it should continue to be big.

Give a looksee at Mass.

The Contrarian

[tsilvetti]

I got the Mass/Xavier spread @ 16.5 , How strong of a play is this for you? Thats a pretty big spread.

[so im zach]

Skip the Xavier game.

Look at the Northern Iowa game.

[tsilvetti]

zach whats your angle on the Northern Iowa game? They have been good as of late , there last loss coming from Indian st. by 1 point..

[so im zach]

Exactly. OT loss by 1 point to a sorry Indiana St. game. Northern Iowa has stepped up since then with away wins at Southern Illinois, Creighton, Drake, Bradley--plus a solid win Wednesday at home against a good Illinois St. team.

Northern Iowa is looking for revenge this game.

[tsilvetti]

zach , good enough to cover 6.5 on the road?

[so im zach]

Buy 3 points for -3.5 at -195.

Contrarian Radar II

Good morning fellas. Today's card is a panaply (I have no idea what that means) of games to analyze. It will be the usual Saturday of maneuvering through family obligations and selections. Last weekend that conflict cost me money for I was unable to shop my line properly, and yes, the .5 point got me. Enough of the whining.

Eastern Michigan
San Jose St.
UCLA
Massachusetts

These are on the radar for this afternoon. Contrarian indicators are present and as always, awaiting line confirmation throughout the day.

Your thoughts are most welcomed.

Beware O Contrare

Massachusetts

Mass is holding steady. The #10 ranked team in the nation, Xavier, gets a lopsided line to start off. Contrarian indicators are blown through the roof. I see this game around 13 points. Xavier will not be up for this game, looking ahead to Temple and Duquesne will keep it closer than you think.

Opposing points of view are welcomed.

I LOL'd at "panaply"

Nice to see you regained (is that a word) your footing Pair.

Any thoughts on superbowl? Glad I pounded PITT and under early

[Pair of 5s Sir]

It's Official

Mass almost pulled of the SU victory, but in any event, we will take the cover. Hope you contrarios out there followed this one. Contrarian indicators were extremely strong with an over inflated line.

UMASS +16.5 (W) risking 1.10 to win 1.0. They lost by 2 - I get to gloat.

Strap yourself in, it's a long day.

The Contrarian

[cgars1]

Good Call on UMASS...should've listened...won't make same mistake twice...missed SJ State but I will be watchin...

[cgars1]

Ucla?

[Pair of 5s Sir]

Good Call on UMASS...should've listened...won't make same mistake twice...missed SJ State but I will be watchin...

Thanks, SJ State will compete.

The Contrarian

[Pair of 5s Sir]

Ucla

Contrarian indicators are established. The squares will be slamming the other side of the line, where the sharps will undoubtedly know that UCLA has the potential to pound the Cardinal. Head to head matchup and ATS info on Stanford is a solid contrarian indicator. UCLA is strong in this contest.

Just to recap today's selections:

UMASS +16.5 (W)
San Jose State PK
UCLA -10.5 (if SJ State)

Teaser
UMASS +20.5 (W)
San Jose +4

San Jose State takes it for the contrarios to go 2-0 for the day.

San Jose PK (W) risking 1.10 to win 1.0

Addtionally, our teaser hits as well.

UMASS +20.5 (W)
San Jose State +4 (W)

UCLA is our third pick of the day, already in progress.

The Contrarian

[Pair of 5s Sir]

Perfect Trip

The Contrarian takes down a perfect 3-0 day on sides and 1-0 on teasers.

The UMASS line was completely lopsided, my estimate was thirteen. Xavier was, as I mentioned earlier, looking at the next two games ahead, Temple and Duquesne.

San Jose at Louie Tech was an example of major contrarian indicators jamming the home team.

UCLA at home against the Cardinal what a blowout. Squares were all over Stanford and sharpies just stoodby and took the Cali boys large.

Let's recap:

UMASS +16.5 (W)
San Jose State PK (W)
UCLA -10.5 (W)

UMASS +20.5 (W)

Duquesne hits the radar switch. Contrarian indicators are present, especially the road record of St. Bonnie. Squares will pound on the dog but with no success. Waiting for continuation of line confirmation. I will wait till closer to tip off.

Dukannne (I hate spelling this team)

[Pair of 5s Sir]

Duquesne

Did anyone get on them?

[SpartyPt11]

Half time line in that game might have some value

Nice day Sir

60% is like getting the girl and getting the fantastic blow job later on back at the crib.

Now if you could just run 90% like Saul we can all quit our jobs and sit around and pound iffy lines all day.
