Dukeblue 1/21

[Dukebluejms]

Hello all,

Below I have listed my early morning leans. By no means will I play all of them. These are just the games that I have narrowed it down to, and I will pick only a few of my favorites.

1. Louisville ML
2. Under 129.5 Indiana vs Penn St
3. Arkansas St. -4
4. Arkansas +2
5. Oregon State +6..5
6. Utah State -4
7. Under 122 USC vs Wash St
8. Over 146.5 UCLA vs. Wash

Anyone with some insight or comments? Or anyone wondering what my reasoning is, just ask.

Like the Big 10 under. Stayin away from Louis/S.Hall, but I do think Seton Hall has the edge.

I've been looking at the Louisville/Seton Hall game and can't see any discernible advantage for either team, aside from Seton Hall being at home. I like Louisville simply because I've seen them play and they've managed to hang tough with some legit schools, but that's not really sound logic. So any particular reason you like Louisville?

I'm not a big trend guy, but its hard to look past it sometimes. Neither team is great ATS this year (UL 5-8, SH 3-7), and SH is only 2-4 ATS at home this year. Both teams have struggled of late ATS, so something has got to give.

• UL is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a road favorite of 0.5-6.5.
• Pirates are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as a home underdog of 0.5-6.5.
• Pirates are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. Big East.

Sometimes you just have to go with your gut. Me personally, when I look at a game I look at 2 main statistical categories: Opponents FG% and Rebounding. Over the last 5 games SH is allowing opponents to shoot 52% from the field, while Louisville is holding opps to 46%. Neither one is stellar, but Louisville has the advantage there. Also, SH has been out rebounded on average over the past 5, while Louisville has a 6 rebound advantage. Having said this, neither team shoots the ball great from the outside, so it should be a driving to the hoop, slashing, inside kind of game and the team that controls the boards will come out on top. It's kind of scary that everyone is on UL now, but I'm going with them to win by 6 to 8 (UL wins 81 - 73).

Hope this helps, but don't let me persuade you. This is my personal opinion. BOL

i have to go with the coach--pitino will have them ready--carsd have already lost too many this year--they are not that bad of a team--tonight they play someone they can eat--kinda like the georgetown/pitt game last night--you can only lose so much

I'm considered the Gonzaga over, but I see the Zags putting up 85 tops. I'm just not sure if Pepperdine can get to 63. Good Luck

Louisville hurt me! Never expected them to shoot 56% from the FT line and 23% behind the arc! Oh well, got 2 more tonight. Sorry to whoever tailed.
