kinda line that makes me run and hide, lol..

Agree. Either the books are anticipating something, or KenPom told 'em so, because Wisconsin is absolute garbage and really shouldn't be favored by that much vs. anyone.

Yeah, reminds me of the GW +7' that kicked me in the pills last night...

not trying to be that after the fact guy but kinda had exact same feeling bout that gm.. hate those lines cause you gotta be nuts to wanna lay the points but seems like more times than not that the play, hence why i usually run scared, lol...

what you think bout that lou/tem total? i made little higher than kp and his number quite a bit higher than the 151' out there now, i guess if ville runs them out of gym it might be tough but think owls will stick around for a while and even if not they will go out gunning. ive had a hard on for temple overs for a minute now so maybe im biased but i dont think they have a problem getting into the 70s, as shitty as their defense is ville outta handle the rest..

Yeah, i knew exactly what i was doing with GW, and i did it anyway. When will i learn?

Getting some early capping in before day of travel. Will run UL/Temple total now.

[BiffTFinancial]

After capping this morning, i definitely like Youngstown State. WGB plays at Cleveland State at 2 pm Saturday and YSU is back at home after three straight road games (historically a good spot for them). YSU is hardly a good team, but WGB is scuffling right now. YSU 1H may also be worth a look.

i dont think it a bad idea fading gb or cle st today..

I get 157-161 for Louisville/Temple. Definitely will be considering that over. Good eye, Bank.

[BiffTFinancial]

Louisville/Temple, SMU/Rutgers both postponed due to weather. Double bah.

shit...i gotta redo all my draftstreet lineups,,mf'er. that shit a lot of work and i got bunch of players from these gms..

[BiffTFinancial]

Bank, what you think about Arky/Mizzou over? Don't have access to my models at moment but should be able to run numbers within couple of hours.

[BiffTFinancial]

Line move on WGB has me a little concerned, YSU now +3'. Starting to lean more and more towards WGB/YSU over and Arky/Mizzou over as my favorite potential plays at this point. Also, Creighton should rip Butler's off.

[BiffTFinancial]

Just saw that Ryan Weber is doubtful for YSU, which probably explains WGB line move. Probably pass on that game altogether.

How have we not mentioned NU/MSU under, ESP 1H under? Sparty offense really struggled to get good looks without Appling in Madison, and odds as it sounds, Mildcats are much better defensive squad than Wisky. Mildcats should look to run burn 1H to keep game close vs much more athletic opponent.

Doc's has GB as an (F) play, so the line jumped to 4; even though, Doc's blows chunks!

Gotcha, thanks for posting that. Probably a combination of Weber being downgraded to doubtful + Doc's tout play. BOL tonight!

i thought where they hung it was close, if you made me id play over but didnt feel real great about it..think my biggest thing is i prefer the razorbacks side and hate betting both, plus temple being cancelled demoralized me, lol.. even worse when i saw the ctg cats i respect really liked that over as well..

made a small play on drexel/coc un 125.5 you happen to run that one? and wtf is going on with sparty total? who the hell betting that over? i dont care if they score 200 i still say you crazy playin the over in this bitch!!

[wehustlin]

Why Vanderbilt first half just curious Biff?

Will run numbers on Drexel/CofC right now. SLC airport has free wifi!

[BiffTFinancial]

Why Vanderbilt first half just curious Biff?

I like Vandy, and they have been a really good 1H team of late while South Carolina has not. Vandy covered both 1Hs vs S Carolina last year. S Carolina relies upon getting a bunch of points from the line (25.6%, 40th nationally), while Vandy is good at not giving fouls/FTs (19.2%, 300th nationally in a category where the higher the ranking number = better the production), so i think that S Carolina will really struggle to get their points in the 1H. Also, getting around Columbia has to be a pain in the ass in the ice, right? S Carolina players have to deal with that, Vandy is in a hotel. Also, 4 pm start for 1-9 in SEC home team means home court advantage should be almost nonexistent. I think that Vandy starts strong/S Carolina starts slowly.

[BiffTFinancial]

Late steam on Vandy 1H. Let's go Dores!

[Madison]

Also, Creighton should rip Butler's off.

Agreed, as long as they come to play!!

I have Drexel/CofC in the range of 121-123, so i lean under. Don't have a very strong feel for that game, though.

I'm in a hotel with room svc, you're at home having to shovel grammy out. What we have to do to get an edge. unfkn real.

I agree on this, thinking the total will be about 110 to 115.

[wehustlin]

Also took Vanderbilt I liked it that's y I asked

[No coincidences]

Why is Youngstown +4 now? Anyone out for YSU?

[BiffTFinancial]

1* Vandy 1H +1 - PUSH

This is when a push feels like a win. Vandy missed 5 of 10 FTs (including front end of one-and-one), 0-4 3PTs, 8 TOs, 13 ORBs allowed, but got the push on a layup at the buzzer.

Where the fk is the smoking lounge in SLC airport? Because i have just booked a reservation...

Thanks.

[BiffTFinancial]

Why is Youngstown +4 now? Anyone out for YSU?

Yeah, i mentioned it this morning. Ryan Weber doubtful for Penguins. He's a solid player for them. Passing based upon that and subsequent line move. I still say it's YSU/over/pass, but i'm passing.

[BiffTFinancial]

Also took Vanderbilt I liked it that's y I asked

Cool, gotcha. To be clear, not offended by question at all. All positive discussion is good, and if i can't explain my investment thesis for a play, then i shouldn't have money on it...

[BiffTFinancial]

I'm in a hotel with room svc, you're at home having to shovel grammy out. What we have to do to get an edge. unfkn real.

Never stop thinking, Madison. There are angles everywhere.

Too bad that room service couldn't coax one more made FT out of Vandy. Oh well, if i bitch about that push, i'm an asshole who's begging for my next loss. Tempted to play Vandy 2H pk but passing.

[BiffTFinancial]

Passing on Creighton, will revisit Buffs on my layover in Chicago but probably pass on them too. UCLA has been killing teams at home (4-1 SU since first of year with lone loss to Arizona, and all wins by double digits - most with ease).

[BiffTFinancial]

What in the name of fuk is going on in East Lansing? Just landed in Chicago and I'd honestly have been less surprised by my plane crashing that Mildcats/Sparty being close to 100 five minutes into the 2H.

1* NU/MSU 1H under 56 - LOSER
