Josh scott didnt make the trip to So Cal for the buffs, Xav Johnson is questionable.

Thoughts on CS Fulton +7?

Thoughts on CS Fulton +7?

Getting that many pts at home is nice... but idk.

Never seen fullerton play.
better games on the board in my mind

[leetreaper]

Cincy never covers against Uconn, buy up to 5 and max you can get is a push.

This uconn team is nothing like past uconn teams.

It still be buffs or nothing for me..

Sac state should beat up on montana state

[survive]

Ohio state or nothing for me. I feel like these popular big ten underdogs haven't been covering lately. Just at the top of my head IU last night, Iowa last week vs wisconsin, Maryland vs IU last week as examples

doesnt seem like a great reason to back osu.

[2daBank]

prob should have played a few of my leans last night cause several have moved against me. wasnt sure i was thrilled bout laying 8.5 w det and now it even more, like st peters but much more at -1 than now currently -3.. hard not to play uab+11, likewise not sure i can stay off terps, dunno why uc davis moved down? umass is tempting.

Lol Uconn returns 1 more starter than Cincy from last year.

[grombom125]

THam thanks for the Murray pick. Loved to wake up to +money! What you think about providence game?

[2daBank]

dunno how ya really play a side in the provo gm. i think it too many but not like it be a huge shock if provo ran them out of the gym.. if anything under seems like the play there, depaul's pace has slowed considerably since conf play has began, they living off treys which provo defends well and wouldnt think be as likely to fall in 3rd straight road gm with strange start time. likewise could see some rust from provo with unusual start time and 7 days off since last gm. think im gonna play 1st half under and see how it goes from there..

Obviously it's not my only reason...just saying the line looks like the books are confident in backing osu...but they've been wrong on Maryland plenty of times this year

Last 5 halves between those 2 ended in 67+ points.
Also, DePaul allows 77.4 points on the road last 5 games and 38.4 at half in that span.

uab+11.5 is a play for me, number just seems excessive here. they been shooting it well from behind the arc, have a huge advantage at the ft line as they do a good job getting there and shoot them at a really high clip while utep is one of the worst teams in the country shooting freebies at below 60% since conf play began. that a really big number when you have a team that cant make a ft to save their lives and really just dont score enough overall to cover this type of number vs a uab team that has been playing well of late. this was a 2 point gm at uab last season and just dont think enough has changed to that translating into uab getting blown out here..

[Capybara]

I like Detroit to roll.

Tempted to play Prov in the early game, but hmm...

Everything you say makes perfect sense, but I personally can't play it because my rule is never to go opposite an RLM play, which UTEP is since the line's moved up with 62% on UAB. But I'll make it a no-play based on your reasoning, and good luck!

depauls last 5 road gms has involved 2 against far better offenses than provo's. nova, xavier on revenge and then oregon st who's o not better but where that was a gm where depaul was still pressing all over and basically giving up a lay up line, their d has improved since then imo.. their current road tilts vs SH and creighton i believe are a far better indicator than the others for this one..

[Pet3yPa8lo]

Trying not to pay the bookie this weekend lol. Any good takes? Thanks

[mrlif1]

i feel like dayton is the no brainer, so umass has a shot. umass unsuccessful against a couple other 3pt teams in iona & davidson, but dayton is touch small here and i see this as maybe the 3rd loss on remaining schedule. archie miller better coach than kellogg, but the public is already moving this one, just seems too easy. edit: they actually beat iona, not sure what i was looking at.

rlm doesnt mean a whole lot to me.. easiest play last night was bill&mary and that had a considerable move against them for one reason or another..

umass can be beyond frustrating at times but i think they are the play here. while dayton has done well against teams with size since going small i feel like lalanne and esho are more skilled than a lot of the bigger players dayton has faced and should be able to hurt them inside and on the glass.. still umass is a pain it the ass as they have played so inconstantly below what they are capable of.. wouldnt mind getting another point if i can but def lean umass way.

Fair enough, you know the game better than me. But for what it's worth, RLM is one of the principle reasons behind the insane run I've been on. For instance last night's Arizona State and Purdue plays. Just sayin.

[leetreaper]

DePaul is 8-0 ATS against conference, yet the books give them +10 points.
Either it's free money again or I look like an idiot, nevertheless I'm playing:

Providence -10.0 5*Units

im glad it working for you, dont think this gm looks like anything resembling either of those tho..im with you that the pur line said a ton before the move and fact it kept going up def spoke volumes.. that was a gm where the dog was taking a ton of bets, i seriously doubt this gm gonna see that amount of action where a half point move is saying a whole lot..

i like det as well, just dont like i didnt grab at -8.5 before i went to sleep..

definitely gonna sit on this one. for sure getting another .5 at least. umass frustrating agreed, but they've had 8 days off and this is their time to host and play spoiler to a top conference team. gotta go all out here.

public backing the dog too? prov 5-3-1 ats at home w/ depaul 3-6 ats away, i think this spread is dictated by late ft's one way or the other. hate these early games garnering all the action though. gl
