    Someone is going to have to explain Loyola +10.5 at UNI to me

    Panthers are a mess. Sub-par defensively and athletically challenged to say the least.

    Loyola isn't anything special, but they typically play close games. They are 6-1-1 in their last 8 ATS; UNI is 1-7. Loyola already beat UNI in overtime at their place last month.

    Something tells me oddsmakers are baiting us to back the Ramblers here, because this line should be about +8 at most.

    I agree with the line - should be about -8.
    Panthers are very good at home - I think just 1 home loss this year to #2 Shockers. I just don't think they will get up for this game after losing in a battle with WSU. Loyola not a good road team, but they did beat UNI on their home court by 6 I believe just a couple weeks ago.
    Loyola not a bad play - they are playing well and competitive. They are also good in the 1st half of games, so I would think strongest play is first half points.

    Coin - I like all your leans above. If I were me...and I am...I would do a 4.5 point teaser with Auburn (+12) and Bradley (+7).
    But I never bet on my favorite team, Bradley, so I won't do it. But I think they have a good shot at winning this one. They are usually pretty good vs. Sycs at home in recent years and this is BU's biggest game of the season to try to break up their 4-way tie for 3rd in the Valley.
    If you don't like teasers (most people don't, but I do pretty well with them), just play them separately, but I don't see the teaser losing...fingers crossed.

    Auburn been playing much better lately.
