First.... Wichita State -20 vs Loyola Chicago. Wichita State is over rated but unfortunately, their schedule is crazy soft and they wont be challenged this year. Loyola Chicago has not lost a game by more than 14. However, Wichita State has been pounding teams at home.... winning by 20, 22, 19 in the last 3 home games. 20 points just seems a bit high to me. Thoughts?

I wouldnt ever bet a team -20

The other game that I want to discuss is Creighton 12.5 vs St Johns. Creighton is undefeated at home. They are playing extremely well. Their only Big East loss was on the road & 2 players had the stomach flu. Their #20 ranking is just disrespectful seeing how Villanova is still in the top 10. I've said it several times on here and I will say it again for those of you that don't know. Creighton is in the top 5 in attendance nationally and is #1 in the Big East with over 17,000 fans per game. Only 2 teams in the Big East average over 10k. So this environment can be challenging for teams coming to Omaha for the first time. St Johns has been up and down all year. They crushed Butler AT Butler last weekend... yet got crushed by Georgetown at Georgetown. When I look at St Johns I see an average team that can beat the bottom feeders of the Big East but cant hang with the big boys. 12-13 points isn't much when you figure Creighton will be draining 3s all night. How do you defend Creighton? You can do what Butler did and not double up McDermott and let him go off for 24 pts in the first half. Or you can double McDermott and let Wragge drain 3s (9-14 3 pointers vs Villanova for 27pts) I'm liking Creighton to win by 20 here unless someone has some matchup problems that I don't see.

Would you take +20? That's the side I'm leaning

Yes.

Im just wondering why you want these huge lines when there are tons of good lines on the card tonight.

If your willing to lay 20; your better off sitting on the first half, seeing how it plays out and if it's close at halftime; unload on the second half, you'll get a better number/value

I'm looking to lay $550 on Creighton and $550 on Loyola

I have a much better record in games like this. I hate the -4 lines..... where the is tied the efntire game and then fouls and free throws make it a 10 point victory.

Works great when you have -4.... sucks when you have +4
