    $$$Baylor @ WVU$$$

    Looking through today's card, this is the one game that jumped out at me. Baylor is favored by 1.5 and I don't see any reason why they shouldn't cover. WVU is 2-7-1 against the spread at home, so it doesn't look like much home court advantage. Baylor crushed WVU by 20 points two weeks ago at home and I don't see why they shouldn't easily be able to cruise to an easy victory tonight by close to double digits.

    Thoughts?

    This game stood out for me as well, no big reason as to why they shouldn't cover

    Took those road losses into account. They were all against good teams. WVU is not a good team.

    Baylor is certainly the better team talent wise but it is damn hard to bet on a Scott Drew team beating a Bob Huggins team on the road.

    West Virginia is absolutely terrible, Huggins has nothing to work with here and Baylor is in a great bounce back spot. Love the call at -1.5, Baylor should jump out to an early lead and cruise. The last time these teams played, it was obvious where each team was as far as skill level.

    This one is not about the coaches, it's about talent and Baylor out-classes here easily...

    baylor might suck on the road but if you look at all of those road games that they lost they were still able to score. WV is lucky if they are able to break 65 on the road or home. So on just talent alone if baylor plays there normal game they should win 74-61 easily.

    Baylor sucks, WVU sucks, Scott Drew sucks even more.

    Baylor is on the road. Stay away, if anything, go with WVU.

    I'd avoid this play. Baylor is the more talented team but wouldn;t trust them on the road.

    I've been thinking about it more and decided to take Baylor. I just don't see how West Va has the talent to compete even with Huggins schooling Drew.

    I think Pierre Jackson is going to have a big night playing against a freshman in Huggins pressure D. Should lead to a lot of and 1s and kick outs to Heslip for 3.

    All points to Baylor- tho not playing the game. Really they are not so horrible on the road as stated. 4 loses were against the best this year. Gonzaga and OK st. had to fight hard to win. Iowa @ Ok are not dead beats either. It just seems to easy thats the only reason I'm passing. But in all accounts they should win by 10+.

    With some reservations I decided to lay down the big $$ on this game. Usually hate playing the "it seems to good to be true" games, but the lack of any kind of a scorer on WV made me pull the trigger.

    Unfortunately after i placed the bet I talked to my boy Gambling Gorilla George about his opinion and he said it looks like a classic trap game and the motivation of Huggy Bear avoiding his first losing season in 10 years is enough reason to stay away from this game.

    I still think Baylor wins by 5+ points.

    WV not missing, Baylor not making shots, not playing D or rebounding.

    Maybe 2nd half they turn it around.

    Could be worse. Hopefully Baylor can pull themselves together and use their speedy offense to make up the 5 pt deficit. Should be a 3 pt deficit if Jackson would have just drawn the foul for the last shot of the half.

    If Baylor wins this game, it's because of Austin.

    Man I'm not betting on Baylor again this season. Very frustrating team to watch, doesn't box out and makes poor decisions on the offensive end. But in the end the decision to play them ups the bankroll big time! Now back to placing bets that don't give me heart attacks.

    No problem man. To close of a game to take credit for the pick though. I'll chalk that up to luck.
