that george mason line

Regul8er · 02-03-10, 12:43 PM

Ive been thinking this ALL day, now its down to a PICK. Mason is red hot, and G State is an average Colonial team who has dropped multiple home games. Whats the scoop Colonial followers?

GiveMeaBJ · 02-03-10, 12:46 PM

Be careful guys. Masons lines always look short on the road because they NEVER lose at home. Different team on the road. I wouldn't play buy good luck to you guys.

bobby heenan · 02-03-10, 12:46 PM

im having an itch to make this my only play of the day....and drop alot on it...at the same time...i really hate making my one big play of a day on a road team

i hear that...still they were able to win at james madison, hofstra, and towson during their recent streak....and jmu and hofstra are at least as good as georgia st.....

Just some quick anti-GMason analysis. Not saying GMason is not a good play but should be considered.

GM 4-4 on road Ga St 6-3 at home.
Home team has won last 5 meetings in this series.
GMason only beat them by 3 earlier this year @ GM.

Idk, GM looks like a solid play but line is too odd to bet.

Regul8er · 02-03-10, 12:54 PM

Mason isnt your typical road team though. They have experience and are very well coached and prepared. They are currently 4-1 on the road in the Colonial with comfortable wins over Hofstra, JMU, NC Wilmington and Towson (lone loss to Northeastern).

Georgia St. is in the same class as ALL 4 of these teams Mason comfotably handled away from home. Georgia St. has already dropped 3 home conference games to Northeastern, VCU and Drexel. None of these 3 losses were inside of 12 points. Mason is in the same class as ALL 3 of these teams, even a step ahead of Drexel.

Mason has better guard play and better interior men. Something smells fishy!!

GoldRush7 · 02-03-10, 12:55 PM

Smells fishy to me

GiveMeaBJ · 02-03-10, 12:55 PM

I am all over GM when they play at home, but your absolutley right. Something is extremley fishy and when I did my lines I put GM -3 but when I saw Pk I didn't even want to bother.

bobby heenan · 02-03-10, 12:56 PM

thanks gmabj...will take that into consideration

TheU · 02-03-10, 01:01 PM

I'm on George Mason. BIG!!!

1UP · 02-03-10, 01:03 PM

Seems the total would be the safer bet. Game will probably be close, and I don't know of any good road teams in the Colonial.

GiveMeaBJ · 02-03-10, 01:07 PM

Under.

DolphinSpurs · 02-03-10, 01:42 PM

no play. There are too many games on tonight to worry about this one. Note the result at the end and be happy you skipped it!

gonnakillit · 02-03-10, 02:02 PM

George Mason has a few BAD road losses this year

ron8698 · 02-03-10, 02:26 PM

i`m in on George Mason too , pretty big

gonnakillit · 02-03-10, 02:28 PM

George Mason is the better team, and they will probably win.

However with a line that sketchy and the fact that they have bad road losses this year, that makes this an easy no play

THE PROFIT · 02-03-10, 02:46 PM

73% on GM also & the line hasn't went up, actually gone down. Tricky shananigans going on here boys!

2daBank · 02-03-10, 02:49 PM

god that GM number stinks to hell....i can hardly blame any1 for being on them as im sure most will......geo st has had few tough home losses GM certainly better team but this game just setting off red flags in my head.....probably a no play for me as dont think i trust geo st enough to risk taking a shot here....gl every1

cappinthepigs · 02-03-10, 02:51 PM

I'm staying WAY away from this one. Something is hinky!

gonnakillit · 02-03-10, 02:55 PM

Listen everyone thinks George Mason is an obvious plays......I can understand that, but with all the game to choose from why play this?

GM has lost on the road to Tulane by 5, George Washington by 17, Radford by 17, Northeastern by 17

Should George Mason win? Yes. However with such a sketchy line and lack of line movement with everyone on George Mason isnt that enough to have you look elsewhere?

THE PROFIT · 02-03-10, 03:14 PM

I didn't realize they had lost to Radford, I forgot about that one! No play

cappinthepigs · 02-03-10, 03:29 PM

I'm only playing 3 games today, feel free to take a look:

But this def isn't one of them!

Lnn7 · 02-03-10, 03:42 PM

Mathematically speaking, the line is where it's suppose to be. Gmason is suppose to edge out and win by 1 point. My data shows it should be 61-60 gmason.

spartangreen · 02-03-10, 03:48 PM

stop reading to much into it. G Mason is one of the youngest teams in the country, they had the best mid major recruiting class in the country coming into the year. If clear that these guys have came together very nice, no reason at all not to play G.Mason tonight. Georgia State has one win in the last month a home game against Wilmington.

i had the line at GM-3

Ranx777 · 02-03-10, 03:57 PM

Why is this line fishy?? As pointed out George Mason is just an average team on the road. Even at home they only squeaked by GSU by 3 points. GSU is probably not very happy about their 3 game losing streak and their loss to GMU. I like GSU to win this game actually. Mason's next 3 games are Drexel, VCU and ODU, who do u think they are focused on?? NOT Georgia State, I know that.

If they are mad over a three game losing streak, they must have been really really mad over their 5 game losing streak they had right before the 3 game losing streak.

gonnakillit · 02-03-10, 04:14 PM

george mason lost to radford on the road by 17!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! AND George Washington by 17 AND Tulane by 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GiveMeaBJ · 02-03-10, 04:16 PM

I am going with:

Georgia St 61
GM 59

PASS

Wilforth · 02-03-10, 04:24 PM

Pass. But if had to, I'd go with Joe Public. I still think GM win this by 4 points.

MB · 02-03-10, 06:00 PM

I put a few thangs on Mason. 10-1 in conference? Just win baby!

mrkron · 02-03-10, 06:06 PM
