Two ballsy early lines Saturday

[No coincidences]

Oklahoma +3 vs. Iowa State
Dayton -2 vs. St. Louis

Wow. I have OU +5.5 and Dayton +2, and I think it'd be hard to argue otherwise. Do the linesmakers nail these games or get KenPom'ed again?

Edit: holy hell, make that three. Arkansas -1 vs. Florida?

[TeamDetroit]

I def agree with your view on Dayton. I would see a slight advantage for STL in this spot and not Dayton. I thought maybe this game would be a pickem but its moving to Dayton -2.5 at some books

A few other thoughts....

I don't think Payne is playing for MSU tomorrow, and the Spartans are coming off an emotional win over OSU. Gopher line seems high at +11.

Drake is +9 at UNI. What? I have Drake +6 in this spot.

Like Missouri State +10 vs. Wichita.

St. John's at +5 vs. Villanova sort of has my attention.

[PittsburghPlayer]

NC, nice hit on the Hawks on Wed I think it was. I increased my play a bit after reading your thoughts. Thank you. Hope you bat a thousand today!

Has my attention too

St John's so undisciplined and inconsistent perimeter scoring I have a hard time counting on them. My 2 cents. GL

Agree they're very erratic. Who knows. Nova is good, but I'm not sure (yet) that they're Top-10 good, though.

[leetreaper]

I'm on Dayton and Arky.

[No coincidences]

Florida's leading scorer is out. Guess that line makes at least a little more sense now.

Looks good. Boston College might be worth considering too if you want an early degenerate bet. VT is a mess right now.

ISU -4.5 now. Should probably close at 5 or 5.5 to be honest. If it doesn't, I wouldn't want to be on the Cyclones.

[biggie12]

No coin Indy U -1 $2500 what u think?

Why do you like the sooners here?

[cmatth1326]

Ok is good but can't hang with Iowa st

Makes sense on paper, but IU isn't very good and hard to trust them away from home. PSU is garbage though.

[biggie12]

gonna take a shot before i unload half my roll on brady later.

[blackeyeshamus]

Thanks for the Intel, NC.
just hit zoo MASS 2h -7 @+105
for the win vs bonnies, but I've been
cold as a kick in the asz with a frozen boot lately. BOL, NC.

Not sure if I'd go huge, but I do like the Pats. Good luck my man.

Good luck chief.

Cyclones go down and BC cashes. Dayton falls. We'll see what happens here with Arkansas and St. John's 2H.

[No coincidences]

Payne out for MSU. Trice doubtful.

[dwinder98]

and ark at home is unstoppable..

[Tommy Karate]

florida plays crazy good defense....they are gonna be a force come march.

and they hit their free throws.

I am such a loser. I couldn't pick my nose if I had to.

[Tommy Karate]

arkansas just blew it.....missed front end of 1 and 1 to go up 4. 67% choke artist...

that wide open missed dunk 3 minutes ago was the difference.

Ho-hum -- another highly-ranked road dog cashes. Par for the course.

gonna start playing more higher ranked teams....im way overthinking this sport.

There's no other sport on the planet where a top-level team would open as a dog against a middle-tier opponent -- let alone have the line move in favor of the middle-tier opponent. It doesn't happen in college football or any sports at the pro level, other than baseball every once in a while due to pitching matchups. I'm saying (again) that KenPom and computers have Vegas spooked, and their lazy inflexibility when it comes to copying their homework is a huge detriment to their bottom line. Are you telling me Arkansas would've been -3.5 in this exact same spot 10 years ago? Hell no.

arkansas would have been +3.5 and covered...

Exactly.

Meanwhile, Duke gets destroyed today, Memphis is losing, Auburn covers the original line, etc. Like I said, the games are out there -- you just have to find them and there are so many to choose from.

Wow. Did that just happen?

Holy shit.

The trifecta. First Arkansas, then Minnesota, now this.
