last one Miami hurricanes. lets goooooooooooooooooooComment -
Leaning Nebraska here, away team is 3-1-1 in last 5 meetings, michigan state has won 4 out of the last 6. Both teams are horrible on Saturday games ATS. However, Nebraska has veen hot lately with their great defensive work. Holding teams to 49 or less points in 3 of their last 4 games. I am backing an hot team at home in this conference matchup.
Both teams have great 3 point defenses. Both are holding opponents to 30% or less.
I can see an under in this game as well if it's 115 or more. My site doesn't have an total yet.
My pick - Nebraska -3 to the under of 115 or more when totals come out.Comment -
Im leaning Kansas +3 at Texas. I still dont trust Texas as much as some people here. Even though Kansas has been looking shaky their past couple of games I believe Self will get his team ready for this huge matchup.
Kansas hung in with Iowa State in the high scoring affair. Yes they did blow an 19 point halftime lead to Oklahoma however they still managed to cover the 5 1/2 spread.
I don't see Texas as that high scoring offense yet, and as well as Kansas shoots 3's I can see this game getting ugly quick.
Kansas + the points.Comment -
South Carolina + points.
Very simple 2013 and 2010. The Gamecocks already have a big win under their belts beating Iowa State. They love big games like this and thrive on them. Expect another sellout tomorrow and possibly, possibly another rush on the court!Comment -
Will continue with some doggy treats as I go through the card!
Florida State +16.
North Carolina is having to deal with injuries, including freshman Pinson who broke a bone in his foot against Wake.
With 3 critical matchups against Cuse, Louisville, and Virginia next, I don't see why Williams will have their starters play big minutes against one of the lower ACC teams with 3 huge matchups in the horizon.Comment -
Haven't really looked a whole lot yet but at first glance I like dayton -5 and oklahoma +3. I really am high up on both squads and enjoy watching them.Comment -

im one of the ppl here that has played on and talked tex up quite a bit the last 2, pretty likely ill be on them here, but to say i trust them is a bit of a overstatement! their coach a retard and they sloppy with the rock. Horns without a doubt one of the most talented teams in the country, whether shit for brains barnes can translate that into one of the better teams is anyone's guess but his track record is littered with more wasted talent than flourishing teams..
now that out of the way i gotta say man, i think you on crack or some type of powerful hallucinogen if you think "this gm could get ugly quick" and you talking bout ku being the team that wins? it might get ugly but it be ugly for anyone holding a ku ticket.. not saying ku cant cover or even win but ku coming in here and running tex out of their gym is the least likely of any scenario that could play out and it not even close..
you should go back and take a look how ku has shot treys vs the quality defenses they have seen. then you should take a look at how much better tex is defensively than most of those teams. you right tex isnt some high powered offense, i think what you overlooking is they dont have to be cause kansas hasnt been that either vs the better defensive teams they have faced. make no mistake horns are one of if not arguably the best defense ku has come across yet.. those gms against isu and okla you mentioned were equivalent to pillow fights compared to how this one gonna feel..Comment -
someone answer this for me. knowing what we know bout xavier why are they "only" -12 against a depaul team they were 10 point favs to on the road?
please dont respond by telling me bout depaul beating xavier the 1st time,. that isnt relevant to the question.
clearly depaul has played far better overall of late which certainly has a lot to do with it.
their defensive efficiency has improved but still hasnt been great.. id expect xavier to have around 5 less turnovers than the 1st meeting while at same time i think if fair to say that depaul would be doing very well to not have theirs increase from the 13 in the 1st meeting, i expect a few more myself but lets give them some credit and say they only have 2 more this go around even tho they capable of more. that in itself if accurate would give x roughly 7.5 more points this go around assuming they simply live up to their underwhelming in conf numbers, again i would project the offense to be a little more efficient but lets keep expectations low and only call it a 8 point swing.. depaul won the gm by 3 so there still a long wayy to go. there several other things you can see from the 1st gm and reasonably expect some point swing from depaul to X's favor but ive carried on far too long bout a double digit spread when i hate playing them, i just found the spread somewhat interesting considering how much better xavier is at home.
full disclosure, i did play X as big road chalk when they lost the 1st meeting even tho i knew how terrible they were on the road. obviously i couldnt have been more wrong but i had to have saw something to lay the points when most ya'll know im allergic to road chalk and double digit chalk of any kind..Comment -
i could see a lot of ppl betting tusla this morning. not so sure that a great idea. if this was one of those really early ones that start a hour before everyone else i would prob hold my nose and take the plunge on ecu. they so bad tho i feel like i need that super early start edge or something to give them my cash..even tho ecu is horrible i would not wanna lay 8 or more with tulsa this morning and i like that team..Comment -
Possibly the best DePaul team in decades. I wouldn't touch that game. I'm hungover and don't have the energy to do any research boys. Luckily my vast knowledge and experience helps for saturday cards.
My initial leans are KANSAS, MSU, Illinois, Iowa, Miami, West Va, Wiscy, Colorado St.
Any feedback on these leans is greatly appreciated!!!Comment -
any1 ever track what a team that favs over team that whipped them 1st meetings record looks like. i know it used to do pretty well but i havnt kept track of in some time.. only reason i ask is cause i find it a little strange money trust kst enough to push that line up. not that i like okie lite either, i dont think all that much of them really.Comment -
yea im not laying that number,. just thought the line was interesting from both perspectives., being -12 to a team that beat you is pretty strong statement or bad decision by oddsmakers, on other hand considering X was -10 on the road where they suck and now only 2 points higher at home... dont mind me. was just rambling to myself a little bit..
surprised you like ku.. tex feels like strongest play thru the 1st couple of sets of games for me., think they do what they do to all the other big 12 teams with strong rebounding numbers, crush them on the glass. dont like ku to make shots away from home or against good defenses as their percentage from outside plummets against quality defenses...Comment -
Banker.. Purdue this morning after some tough road games.. 🙈 BOL todayComment -
South carolinaComment -
I wanna take purdue but nervous..also like minnesota vs depleted illinois..damn big tenComment -
Don't get me wrong, I like this Texas squad. I think Texas is an elite eight team, if they get hot maybe even final four. I think Texas can easily make it further than Kansas in March. But Kansas always plays well at Texas and they're gonna show up today. I feel like they live for the big Saturday games while Texas doesn't always pull through. Cliff and Jamari are the guys that will dismantle Texas. UT is used to having that size and aggresiveness down low but KU will challenge that. Idk who on Texas can guard Oubre as he starts getting on fire. Mason has been knocking down clutch shots while Taylor just hasn't gotten back into full swing.
As for MSU, I know they're not pretty but Nebraska is fukkin awful. MSU really struggles against teams with strong inside presence - which Nebraska has none of. Neb runs their offense thru shields and petteway and I don't see them excelling against this defensive Spartan squad. If we can knock down some 3s it won't even be a sweat.Comment -
i dont mess with iowa gms all that often, too many white guys that cant shoot. very confusing, if they cant shoot wtf they doing out there? hammonds should be able to do work today for purdue but that guy disappears a lot..nothing would really surprise me there, you probably right, iowa d been really soft. if hammonds demands and gets the rock a lot iowa will have to bring a extra guy at him and judging by the fg% teams shooting against them im guessing they slow on their rotations..Comment -
I have loved LSU lately. They are playing very well and hit FLA in the mouth in the swamp. They are probably the most dangerous team that Ken-sucky has to face the rest of the year. Why are 2pt dogs at Vandy? Is this a let down game?Comment -
uga v bully u125
should be a dawg fightComment -
Arkansas 1h looks great to me*. Getting value cause the rest comparison, 'emotional letdown' angles?
I suppose? Maybe this line isn't too shy at -6, but -260 seems like too easy parlay fodder. Also just checked 1h stats, ark much better in the 2nd. Much better at home compared to away as well(who isn't really).
Payback for ark against mizzou on a down year?
*before I looked at anythingComment -
i think you putting a little too much stock in some young cats that been mostly stroking it well at home and vs isu no defense asses. i considered the Oubre matchup for holmes as i always do cause he really isnt built to be guarding legit or speedy 3s. however we talking bout a freshman and of late holmes has taken his fat ass off the 3 point line and been muscling up on the offensive end (i guess a 0-11 from 3 slump will help you get some perspective). he can manhandle this kid on the offensive end, any kinda help ku wants to give is just gonna free up more offensive boards..i think the only way holmes exposed today is if ku out running and gunning which i dont suspect will be happening much..
sure ku long but they in no means match horns bulk and physical play down low imo.. i just dont buy those fesh and soph knocking down a bunch of big shots away from home against a tough defensive team, guess they gotta prove it to me cause i went down the schedule and stopped on every gm vs what i consider a above avg defense and for most part they wernt knocking down a bunch of outside shots in those gms which were mostly at home. i thought horns physically dominated ku at home last yr and i think they do it again as this style gm gonna be a little bit of a culture shock from the running and gunning playground ball they been playing vs the softy offensive clubs.. baylor grinded them into a 56-55 gm at baylor and they not even all that good defensively, not to mention they grabbed 17 offensive boards and i expect them to suffer the same fate vs horns as the other strong rebounding teams have..i dunno man, to me if ku can go here and win the kind of gm i think tex is gonna make them play ill happily give them my money.Comment -
i dunno.. ill start sounding more like you bout them if they go win this gm like they should. unfortunately ive been ready to prop them up all year but every time im at the point i think they deserved to be talked about they go and lose to a clem, a missouri, a ok AM team at home. their guard play and namely their pg is inconstant as fukk and the worst part is they go stretches w/o getting the ball inside to those really talented bigs and they both left trying to grb offensive boards to get their only touches.. they have potential but i dunno, this the gm i decide if i can possible trust them in a few more spots going forward.Comment -
Banker, have you put anything in yet or still waiting on tx line?Comment -
got to admit as we near tipoff I am surprised Purdue is still -1.5
hosting Iowa. Go Boilermakers.Comment -
Nropp has 10* on minny -6. He's reeling too. Just throwing it out there.Comment -
nope i fukked up and got caught slipping.. jus realized it went up a point. mfer. might as well continue to wait now.so pissed, went overnight against punk ass tcu and line gets bet down from where i bet it at highest points.i thought for sure ku would be getting enough love at worst we be stuck maybe buying the hook back down to 3, really looked like it might get under 3 for a while there so i waited. i dont think it matter, anything less than 5 i think is too short, horns knock down fts if it comes to that.Comment
