    TPowell's NCAAB Season Long Thread

    Going to start a season long thread this year and see what happens. Could ditch it if I get some bad karma, but hey I'm a gambler, I have superstitions, sorry lol. Anyways on to more important business. I don't see a lot of value in Friday's games. Literally, 80+ percent of the lines are within a couple points of where I had them projected. I won't see any lines I can get down on until morning more than likely, but just thought I'd post this now. BOL to everyone

    lines that are off for 1 reason or another from what I see so far

    Michigan State vs UConn (is 8.5 and should be 10.5)
    Ohio State vs Marquette (is 6.5 and should be 3)
    Fresno State vs Texas (is 12 and should be 15)
    Tulane vs Georgia Tech (is 5 and should be PK)
    North Texas vs Creighton (is 10 and should be 8)
    Miss State vs Troy (is 5.5 and should be 9)
    Fordham vs Texas State (is 2 and should be -1)
    Santa Barbara vs LSU (is 8 and should be 5.5)

    Pepperdine vs Northridge (is 5.5 and should be 1)
    St Peters vs Rutgers (is 17.5 and should be 19.5)
    Samford vs Austin Peay (is 5 and should be 1)
    Tennessee State vs BYU (is 11.5 and should be 14)
    Montana vs Colorado State (is 9.5 and should be 4)

    Mayo is out of Marquette which probably makes it closer to a no play than a bet

    BYU has a guard questionable that I would like to see play if I bet

    Montana is missing Cherry but CSU is also missing a solid player so that line should probably be around 7 or so. Still a bet probably

    Austin Peay has a solid guard out so Samford looks even better

    Troy has a key player out so Mississippi State looks even better

    Fresno and Texas both have key players hurt but Fresno's is only questionable

    North Texas has an important player questionable which I'll have to follow up on

    tpowell, how do you do your handicapping?

    what information do you need to know to handicap 1st half totals in college basketball? is the FG total enough or is there other important information? thanks.

    easiest way for me in college sports is to do power ratings for all the teams and go from there. 1st half totals are tough. You have to understand that if the total is 140, the 1st half total should be around 65 (10 less than the second half)

    Creighton

    Locked in on ML for 3 units. I think they win by 10+.

    Bama is another good pick.

    thinking about a play on North Dakota State. They bring back almost the entire team and Bama lost a lost of frontcourt talent

    BYU is a potential play but would like to see it hit 11 before I bet it. Decided against Montana and Texas because they had key players hurt which makes it sort of a crapshoot, regardless of if the line is off. Not betting on a team that isn't returning starters in Mississippi State either.

    rlm is irrelevant if you can't get the original line IMO. The original line was right, not sure why its dropping but can't say I really care unless its some kind of inside info but doubtful

    went 2-6 on opening night Friday. Rebounded well yesterday (4-0) and have a good day going today (4-2) with 1 play pending (Loyola Marymount +3.5)

    Had Wisky Milwaukee earlier, hope nobody else had that pain. Up 15 at half as a 6 point dog and game goes to overtime and lands on 7

    Are you going to keep a running tally of your plays?

    If you have an entire thread, you might as well right?
