    Winthrop +6.5

    Anyone have any thoughts on the Winthrop/Missouri St. game tomorrow? At first look, I'm leaning towards Winthrop and the points. The MVC is a much stronger conference, but Winthrop has been lights out in conference play and played a really tough out of conference schedule. They also have some nice wins at Miss. St and at Old Dominion. These are two of the better mid-majors and the 6.5 seems like a lot. Anyone else like this game?

    for what its worth i agree. At first look i was all over missouri st. but looking at Winthrops out of conference road games if you take out there 20 point loss to A&M they played Wisconsin and North Carolina very tough on their courts, and thats very impressive. So at second glance I'm leaning towards Winthrop. What do u think about Boise St -9 Vs Albany? Im leaning towards Boise here

    The Boise St. game looks tough to call. I think the 9 point spread is pretty accurate. The WAC is one of the most underrated conferences this year, so I'd lean slightly toward Boise in this one. I'll probably stay away from this one unless the line moves to 7-7.5.

    I hope you played it at 6.5. That number is long gone.

    And now it's back. Something tells me the smart money is on Missouri State here, though everything rational (other than Winthrop's injuries) tells me Winthrop keeps this within the number.
