    Thursday's bizarre line
    Duquesne (13-16) vs. Richmond (18-12)

    Spiders have already beaten the Dukes by 17 at Duquesne earlier this season and obviously have the much better record.

    Yet Richmond is only -2 here?

    Also:

    West Virginia (17-14) vs. Texas (22-9)

    Mountaineers were swept by the Longhorns this season, losing by 11 at home and 17 on the road. Yet they're only +2.5 on Thursday?

    I might take Duquesne and WVU and see what happens.

      Are you trying to be sharp

      Bet shit teams and you will get shit on your bankroll


      Don't see angles or stats to bet Dukes...W.V. might have a shot since they have played better ball toward the end of the season, plus beating a team 3 times in a season is tough to do

        I guess I'll never understand this line Of reasoning.. is the spread not there for the reason of making the game supposedly equal for the most part, bar obviously adjustments made to the line for whatever reasons.. why would it matter backing a bad team or not at certain points when there is a great equaliser?

          I like WVU tomorrow. Texas over-achieved for most of the season, but have come back down to earth. They've been easy fade money on the road lately. Young team, hopefully they leave their game back in Texas tomorrow.

          Here's another one:
          Miami-Fla (17-15, 7-11) -2
          NC-ST (19-12, 9-9) +2

          Can't believe NCST is a dog, not to mention they are rested and Miami played yesterday.

            West Virginia needs this win and one more and they might have a shot to get in the tourney. I think Texas is in already right? Maybe they don't play hard so another big 12 can make in in? Help the conference make a little more cash

              A lot of times in these tourneys it has been beneficial to get a game under your belt, especially in an unfamiliar arena.. b2b games shouldnt be a problem for 20 year olds especially in a slow paced not very physical game yesterday miami had vs vtech.. I think the rested angle early in these tourneys is a bit overrated

                      Duquesne is one of my top plays of the day. Richmond has been trending downward for quite some time while Duquesne finished the season pretty strong.


                      As for WVU, well I'm not quite sure why you think that line is off. 2.5 seemed like a reasonable opening number to me. But you know that books have overrated West Virginia for 2 years now. I don't know the exact numbers but they were awful ATS last year.
