    Contrarian Radar

    Good morning ladies and gentlemen in contrarian land. We wake up on Sunday after having 5-2 outing yesterday, with a rare ML play that cashed with New Mexico State.

    Today, we start out with three games on the radar screen. A couple of totals and one side.

    Alabama/LSU Under
    Virginia Tech
    Sacramento State/Portland State Under

    Contrarian indicators are in place, awaiting line confirmation as the day develops.

    Selection

    We continue today after a fabulous Saturday with Virginia Tech, who gets the contrarian selection today against a good looking NC State, who appears to be strong in its head to head matchup data. Sharps will hit this one hard.

    Virginia Tech -7.5

    I kinda like this play, but kinda don't. I follow the Pack closely (went to college there) and we r so tough to predict. We have played VT really well the past couple of years (when we were terrible). I know VT is a better team, but it depends on our perimeter play. If we shoot well from the perimeter (and we can), we keep this game close. If not, we lose by 10+. I kinda like the over 135. What do you think about the total??

    I don't see any consistent contrarian indicators to lead me in the direction of the over. Good Luck today.

    135 for an ACC game seems kinda low. I think this game goes over. State can put some points on the board. I like VT -4 1st half and over the total 135.

    The ACC has been hard to bet this year a lot of dogs have covered or just flat won straight up. I'm taking the over and NC State +7 1/2. I think I might throw a little money on the +300 ml too

    Careful. State isn't a good road team. They can cover. But I don't see a win. Our best road games were at Fla (lost by 2, should've won) and Davidson (lost by 6 I think). The hokies are more physical, so it depends on our outside shooting. Need Mays and Fells to have a good shooting day to cover. Like the over more and more.

    Hopefully the Pak will continue to shut down.

    It's Official

    Va Tech comes up short in OT to go in the loss column. They surely gave us a run for the money. Their inability to get out of the starting gate, going down 14 at the half was no match for the -7.5 points.

    Virginia Tech -7.5 (L)

    Selection

    Fresh off the contrarian radar is the Under Stanford. Money is pouring in on the Over.

    Selection: Stanford Under 156.5

    Stanford/Washington scored 69 in the first half, they need 88 to go over. Go Under 156.5

    Washington/Stanford is a clear under to give the contrarian a victory on the day.

    We are clicking off wins at a 59% pace. I am still surprised at the lack of participation with other posters. I make no attempt to hype the thread. Nevertheless, it is fun to talk to other cappers and get their perspective on things.

    Stay tuned and stay threaded

    Contrarian, I tried.

    And the moment I did, you got pretty upset.

    I didn't want to ruin your threads--so I have stayed away.

    As always, best of luck.

    Nice run you are on as well.

    I agree with this. You got a little rough on him Pair.

    Anyway, nice recovery Sir. Keep it going.

    The Wynn poker room called me. It seems that there are some players there who are willing to stake you $500 just to get you to sit down at the $1/$3 game for a minimum of 7 hours.

    Any idea why there so hungry for you to sit?

    You hear that noise high up in clouds?

    That's the point of my post going way over your head.
