    Hofstra -5

    Drexel at Hofstra

    This spread should be double what it is, imho. Gramted, I know nothing about these teams except the stats.

    Can someone fill me in.

    Drexel has early season suspensions. Their stats are worthless.

    Will the suspended players be back for this game?

    Didn't you say the guy in your avatar represented you?

    If a guy looking like that told me something I'd fade him immediately.

    I was joking around because I know that's Nolte.

    You're certainly right so far sir.

    No, that is not Nolte, everyone says that though.

    Did you take Drexel or did you stay with Hofstra?

    Wow, what an ugly game. Hofstra has put up 18 points at the half. Shooting 21% from the field; 0-3 from beyond the arc. Thats hilarious.

    Hofstra is EXTREMELY inconsistent. All depends on which Hofstra team decides to show up. I wonder if they do serious drugs and sometimes they show up stoned and other times they show up sober.

    I have bet against this stupid team before and they blew out some top ranked team, then bet with them and they get blown out by a scrub team.

    I do like Drexel though.

    I just took Hofstra for the 128 man tournament. Going by the numbers it looked like a gift, accuscore even had them winning by 7. I won't be picking teams I don't know just on numbers anymore.

    Thanks for your input.

    Accuscore? I have looked at that before, didn't find it very accurate. My top 10 picks using the pythag and log5 formula went 7-3. The top 20 went 14-6 and 6 of those were ML dogs. One was a +700 dog. Going past the top 20 doesn't pay off.

    Usually there are a few junk teams in these pythag/log5 picks which can be filtered out.

    Today, these teams were questionable: Rutgers, Eastern Kentucky, and Houston. They all lost. I don't know enough about them to disregard the formula. But when I looked over their strength of schedule, they really haven't played anyone.

    I would like to work with someone who could add filters to the pythag/log5 picks to throw out the junk, so far I am going this alone.
