Thursday/Friday before line movement

[HoulihansTX]

Duke -2 (3 pt game is on fire)
Pitt -7(I think they just need talent that can compete opposite of them to play with intensity)
Missouri +4.5( Can match athleticism and will test evans on both ends)
Purdue +6.5(???? Best in Big 10 to me)

Lets break these games down until we feel confident enough to parlay.

[HoulihansTX]

Oklahoma -1(Blake Griffin)
Louisville -9(Arizona was mediocre all year couldnt even show up for Pac 10 Tourney, Defense pressure should F'em up)
Kansas +2(Although they had easiest road, enough talent on team to simulate/practice State's speed
Gonzaga +8.5(If online betting buy half point, Gonzaga can score on teams lacking defensive intensity)

Now I'm done!! Lets parlay, any takers?

I have Nova and Uconn on Thurs. I faded Duke in the ACC tourney and made a killing, didn't bet the ACC final cause I had no faith in FSU. I just don't see Duke running up and down the floor with a team like Nova for 40 minutes. I also like Uconn, my book (sportsinteraction) started at -6.5 now it is up to -7.5 so you might get a better line if you hold off. Staying away from pitt and missouri.

As far as friday, I got Cuse. Think that Blake Griffin is great, he can put up 30 points, but when the rest of the team can't score Cuse should win. That's just my oppinion, other games look pretty tight so I"ll probably stay away or just look at totals.

I would stay off UL if your writeup is "mediocre team who can't handle the press." Don't bet against a team that you've never seen play before unless the numbers/Vegas dictate otherwise. In this case, they don't.

I also don't see why Duke being "on fire" is a reason to play them when if they shoot poorly, they lose by 20. Not worth parlaying in my book. Glad to see you left them out of the big parlay. Can definitely see your reasoning with Kansas but Michigan St. is more talented and has the far superior coach. Michigan St., Oklahoma, and Pitt spreads are complete tossups in my book.

Kansas is young, and that game was early in season. Kansas has fell in line behind Collins' leadership, plus this is being played on a neutral court and Big 10's home courts hard to overcome for youngsters. Also the Big 12 is playing great in the Tourney. I'll play the Big 12 against all except Big East...oops Oklahoma's a play for me, I mean BLAKE GRIFFIN is a play for me. Besides its march madness past meetings are irrelevant when not from same conference.

what great capping........ oklahome(blake griffin)

And i will never claim to be. I'm just another dude posting his picks. But do you have an opinion on the contrary to my picks, or just stopping by to kick some dirt on my thread? Anyways BLAKE ****IN Griffin baby. Wish they had a prop asking "will Blake Griffin make SportsCenter TopTen Thurs night"?

[Ralphie1412]

uhhh ya and jackson onuaku can play with him, and flynn and devendorf can hang with willie and johnson.

Wow Houlihan...you are a frustrated loser... Stop taking all this stuff so serious... Guess it is a little easier for me because I am winning..

But if it is that bad that you have to attack everyone quit!

Sometimes you have to speak up to get some one to offer an opinion, like Ralphie finally did. And no G's Pks, I'm not frustrated at anyone, I just dont like you. If i met you in person im sure we'd get along, but your online persona is annoying. PLus you got my boi Banned. So whenever i have a chance to make fun of you, i will. Now back to the games.....
