Whats your reason for favoring mich

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 05:03 PM

well Illinois doesnt have one of their key players chester frazier...he is a great defender, and I think they will miss him on that end. Michigan is playing for its postseason life. The Wolverines need to grab as many wins as possible and they know it. They'll play with passion in this one.

Illinois is just 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games against teams with winning records and they are just 1-4 ATS in their last five as a favorite of up to 6 1/2-points. Meanwhile, Michigan is 4-0 ATS in its last four, all against Big Ten

Locked in---over 54.5 Michigan 1st half...---official

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 05:08 PM

Im going with the over because I feel that Michigan will get lots of points without Illinois top defender...Frazier means alot to the Illinois defense...

Michigan +2 full game/even like ML
Maryland +6.5 full game/even like ML
Syracuse +6.5 full game/even like ML
Boston College +10 full game
Washington PK full game

FIRST HALF LINES
Michigan/Illinois over 54.5
Penn State +4
Boston College +6
Duke/Boston College over 68
Louisville/Villy Under 64.5
WVU/Syracuse Under 64.5
Washington PK
USC/UCLA over 61.5

i'm with you on Mich 1H over. like both Big East 1H unders [though i haven't placed anything on WVU/Cuse yet]. i don't like Penn State or the Duke/BC 1H over. like Washington, but if i played a PK in this spot, i'd rather play it for game. don't play many 1H overs, but i think USC/UCLA will be high-scoring and that play has value.

will have to look at BC 1H. that's intriguing b/c BC plays Duke tough and Duke is so vastly overrated. my concern, though, is that tired BC vs Duke with rest will be trouble 1H. that spot has been pretty harsh to 1H dogs this week.

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 05:09 PM

Bluff...good luck with you pick since I see you are against me on this one!

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 05:10 PM

Thanks for your analysis Biff...really helpful

bluff · 03-13-09, 05:13 PM

gL to you too. Hate to go against each other. Illinois is nothing but a gut feeling for me. What about this nova game. I think nova is playing great ball with confidence and getting the points i think im leaning towards them. Lost by 1 earlier in the year. Maybe some input. Going to shoot around outside and get some fresh air.

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 05:17 PM

I dont have any leans there...both really solid teams...I cant see one having an edge...I guess that would mean to take the points with villy, but Im prob not gonna touch it, unless there is a good second half play

Under 64.5?

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 06:20 PM

yes...

mcbaseball10 · 03-13-09, 06:25 PM

Hey Chic, how's the day going for ya so far? I fell apart in the later picks last night but still ended up slightly ahead. Just got in on the 7:00 plays. BOL tonight!

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 06:27 PM

im doing great **...hit too big parlays earlier and cashed for 400 on them...hopefully maryland covers and michigan covers ...you got anything for later tonight?

mcbaseball10 · 03-13-09, 06:30 PM

On Dayton -3, extremely deep bench and already beaten Duq. twice this year.
Under 140 for the game..how about you?

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 06:33 PM

i like cuse plus the points, BC plus the points, Wash U as a pk...
first half i like WVU/Syracuse Under 64.5, Washington PK
USC/UCLA over 61.5

mcbaseball10 · 03-13-09, 06:35 PM

Don't know much about the West Coast teams. But I really like Washington..BOL tonight!

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 06:59 PM

bling bling...cashed on under louisville 1h

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 07:02 PM

Hey bluff..good call on illinois...michigan falling apart!

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 07:22 PM

Because Michigan fell apart, I need Maryland to hold on for the cover to cancel that bet...LETS GO MARYLAND!

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 07:34 PM

Getting ready to lock in my next plays...anyone like bc +6 first half, under 65 in syracuse 1h, or washington on a pick first half??

SlapShot87 · 03-13-09, 07:37 PM

I have a sprinkle on Syracuse ML. At +240 I'm more than willing to take a stab at it. BOL

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 07:39 PM

i was going to do the same thing...definitely like them plus the points

bluff · 03-13-09, 07:40 PM

Do like cuse plu the points.. but idk if i can touch due to cuse game last night.. Duke game: Duke will win i believe but not sure about 11 bc plays them tough.. Afraid its somewhat of a trap game. BYU vs SD i like BYU-3 (went up half a point from before). Thoughts.

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 07:41 PM

my book has them at +280

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 07:43 PM

im liking bc in the first half..i see them coming out strong against duke, but maybe falling back in the second half...Duke always seems like a better second half team. As for syracuse, im liking the points for sure, and even think they can win outright. Consider how many people will probably be on WVU just because of the fatigue factor. I honestly think heart has a lot more to do with wins, and syracuse prob has more heart than most teams right now...

SportsChic · 03-13-09, 07:43 PM

do you have any thoughts on washington u?

bluff · 03-13-09, 07:47 PM

I thought same about syracuse but just cant pull it.

Not sure.. Coin flip to in my eyes. Although i would hope the coin fell on ARZ ST.

romoney · 03-13-09, 07:48 PM

gotta take Wash, they are on a mission! But anyways Its just too good
to pass up a good game like this vs AZ ST.
Gotta go with Wash!
