    I like akron tonight as well..... It is solid bet, e.Mich sucks. Akron has a good up and coming top 100 program. I haven't watched either of these teams, so I don't know about any match-up problems E.Mich might cause, but based on paper, Akron wins and covers.

    Rule of thumb I follow: Never bet too big on teams I have never watched personally, even if it is the "lock of the century" on paper. Have a standard flat bet for these games. Losing big on a team you have never seen is a real mind ****.

    NOTE: The line opened at -10 and is now at -8.5. Is someone out?

    I'm on Akron. Don't know why the line has moved down to 8.5, but I live in the area and have heard nothing regarding injuries (and I've looked).

    Eastern Michigan is a solid RLM play. 76% are on Akron through nearly 4600 bets.

    RLM - Reverse Line Movement
    When the line goes against what the public is saying. Say 80% of the public is on the favorite at -11 yet the line drops to -10. That's RLM. This indicates that a larger amount of money has been wagered the other way..i.e. the whales are pounding the dog.

    That's a simplified version

    LOL Common fellas this is Eastern Michigan, they just got blown out at home by Miami OH. Has any of you actually watched Miami play, in order for them to win by 15+ EMU really has to shit a break for most of the game. Akron has potential to win by 20 in this one.

    haha RLM. maybe the line moved because of a key injury.
    NO its gotta be RLM they want you to take akron because its a trap. lol.
    every time a "RLM" play pops up, LT wants you to take a team that has stats similar to E. Mich....

    Eastern Michigan is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 games Eastern Michigan is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games Eastern Michigan is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games at homeEastern Michigan is 1-6 SU in its last 7 games at home


    maybe they win the game ATS, but if you are betting on the team whose stats are shown above, I think another adjective should be used besides SOLID. like you got really f'in lucky.

    I like Akron tonight they are just a better team than Eastern Michigan, Eastern Michigan is brutal on the home or on the road and this could easily be a 20plus point victory for Akron.

    LT is right though, just beware of getting ass****ed due to a aweful performance by Akron. Even though if I was the Akron coach and saw this I would gear my players up. Buffalo is leading the MAC by 3 or so games... And Akron is in 4th. LETS GO ZIPS!

    What do you think about this parley:

    Akron -9
    NC -21.5
    Cavs -10.5
    spurs +6
    Bos -3.5

    I would be leery about laying that many points on North Carolina. Is Maryland really that bad they are going to get blown out 20+ again so soon? Would Gary Williams allow it?

    I like this better:
    Akron -600 ML
    Buffalo -1000 ML
    BYU -800 ML
    Marquette -700 ML
    Cavs -550 ML

    NC is not going to beat Maryland by 22 points. Spurs are iffy. Boston is iffy. I don't think your parlay will come through.

    True...but NC seems like they like to run up the score for the home crowed.

    The books know they have injuries too. This line should be -150, instead it is +215. The injuries are factored in.

    All I need is UNLV to win and I will win my parley. This would be the first parley I've won in months. Thanks for the ML advise curious. I took Bos on the ml even though 3.5 still looked easy. Take the ml on favs and pts on the dogs.
