Potential big play on Tuesday: Iowa over Michigan State

[No coincidences]

Regardless of what happens tonight in East Lansing, you have the Spartans coming off a huge rivalry game against a hungry Hawkeye team ready to make a statement in Iowa City. Carver-Hawkeye Arena is going to be juiced for this one. MSU will be without Dawson and likely Payne (doubt he's coming back this week). Not a good place or spot to be short-handed.

Will be interesting to see what the line is for this one, but if the price is right, I'll be all over the Hawkeyes.

All in michigan state -3.5

[No coincidences]

Iowa is -5.5.

This is going to be a rout.

MSU is going to have to shoot 55-60% in this game to have a chance. They simply can't keep up on the boards with Payne and Dawson out.

[nvrlose37]

Line already at -6, bet that will soar higher by tomorrow.

michigan st probably the lock of the century with how this sport is

Doubt it will get much higher, but you're nuts if you take State. Pinny juicing up that +6 right now.

Down to -5.5 got to fire on that number.

[CoachemUp]

I'm in as well. Hard to see a reason State can hang in this one, even with a great coach.

One time SBR!

[tsimmns]

I would be very cautious here.

[Beetlejuice]

Gentlemen, I'm getting the sense of some strong opinion spiced with some hesitation in this thread. I'll keep an eye on this thread up until tip off, but as of right now, 7AM east coast on gameday, what's the play?

[grease lightnin]

I would be very cautious here.

why?

[TeeRose]

All in Michigan State +6

[tsimmns]

why?

Tell me a team that Iowa has beat other than OSU and Minny at home? The rest of their wins are far from lackluster. Not saying they cover or not, but this is MSU team is a battle tested team that won't back down. Yes, they lost to a hot Michigan team right now, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Iowa on the other hand has been playing the likes of NW, and an OSU team that can barely beat itself out of a wet paper bag right now.

[tsimmns]

The other reason being it seems everyone is in love with Iowa right now, not usually a good thing. Kinda like how everyone was in love with Pitt last night.

[eatdarich]

MSU tonight fella's......My system the last few days had the following wins: Michigan, Duke, Ok, and now it has MSU plus the points.

Everyone on Iowa HAS to strike some worry in you, right?

I don't think Iowa kills or that they do it early in the game but by crunch time, MSU will falter like they did against Michigan and Iowa should win by at least 7.

My source has public on MSU.

[BIGDAY]

NoCoiner hits this one.

unbelievable.....so pissed right now.

[WhatALoser]

No Payne. No Dawson. Keith Appling is having wrist problems. How in the world is Michigan State going to compete for 40 minutes? Iowa doesn't need to double down on any of Michigan State's current post players tonight and Gary Harris isn't superman. With that said, I'm staying away though.

Line movement irrelevant here.

Really like the makeup of MSU when healthy, but this is a horrible spot for them for a slew of reasons. The line -- whether it's 4.5 or 6 -- reflects that. No reason for MSU, even short-handed, to be anything more than +2 here.

Does it though? Or is it a kenpom lay up?

[PorkChop]

Would love this if Michigan State wasn't coming off a home loss.

Hard to think Izzo won't have these boys showing up tonight

Hard to sustain on the road in a hostile environment when you're down two of your best players and a third one -- Appling -- is operating at about 50%.

-4 (-120) is very tempting right now

[WhatALoser]

Where's this -4 at?

[Roy Halladay]

Couldn't agree more.

[CoachemUp]

Seems like everyone on this board has an opinion one way or another about this game. I just hope that whatever happens no one overreacts to it.

And yes, I realize that it is impossible for a bunch of cbb betting junkies to not overreact if they were right.


I'm on Iowa, and win or lose I think that's the right play. To me that's all that matters. BOL to all this evening.

[BamaCBass]

Noco or anybody else, is their a tendency for odds makers to over adjust for injuries in college hoops like other sports?

[I am the one]

Nocoin says "Potential" so many times, he isnt a gambler but a sucker that is

He tries to make you think he got skillz, he aint got $hit. And you know this..

[TeeRose]

I don't care if IOWA wins tonight, just give me the +6 Cover, you can have the Moneyline.

I was referring to the spread obviously.
