Great call on St. Louis Dark.

There are a couple good A-10 games again today, with Richmond/Rhode Island and Charlotte/Dayton being intriguing matchups. The one that caught my eye first so far though is Fordham +18 at St. Bonaventure. Fordham continues to be set as double digit underdogs from the oddsmakers, because of their terrible 2-19 record of course, but I actually think they may be a better 2-19 team than people think (if there is such a thing as a good or better 2-19 team).

The Bonnies have struggled a little the last several games too, losing their last 4, and their 9-12 record is nothing great either. I expect them to bounce back with a gimme win tonight, but it seems to me that the spread should be in the 10 to 12 point range, if not less. I see the Bonnies as being similar teams to both St. Joseph's, La Salle, UMass, etc. and those are all three teams that Fordham lost by 13 or less points too. Their worst beatings have been by Xavier, Temple, Dayton, St. Louis, Rhode Island, etc. but I consider those teams to be upper echelon A-10 teams, and in a class well above the Bonnies, St. Joseph's, UMass, and so on. Fordham also gave Charlotte a good fight in their last game, and covered the number there, so I wonder if the A-10 teams will continue to take them for granted the rest of the season and not cover some of the inflated spreads like this one.

What are you thoughts on this? Do you think I am on track, and that Fordham +18 is the play?

Good thread... like that you focus on one conference.
Good job so far!
Thanks.

LTCOL27 - Fordham is TERRIBLE to put it bluntly...how Charlotte almost lost to them is mindboggling. However with that being said, I don't think the Bonnies will beat them by 18. They're much improved under Mark Schmidt, but no way I'd take them to cover that spread.

Exactly my read as well Dark, and I am glad to see that you are on the same side with all of my A-10 leans this evening. Thanks for the plays my friend!

Damian Saunders is going to be extremely hard for St. Louis to match up with. I hope St.Louis wins but im staying off this game. BOL everyone

PittsburghPlayer · 02-27-10, 11:47 AM

Thinking Duquesne keeps that game close at St Louis. GL though Dark.

blazehound · 02-27-10, 02:25 PM

I'm liking Charlotte plus the points here. GW is not very good at home, and Charlotte needs this game.

Xavier will not lose against Richmond...I hate putting that many units on one game, but I'm not totally confident X covers, so that's why I'm making a moneyline play on it instead. It ought to be a great game and I'm really looking forward to the atmosphere X is gonna bring. Ill be at the game bringing this one home for us

. Good luck all!

certainly a war when those two hook up...have fun at the game
