    Butler vs. Loyola (IL)
    I need some expert analysis from you guys on this one. The line right now is Butler -21. I think that they could easily cover this one at home but with their current turnover problems may not be able to shake the ramblers off. Any thought?

        It's no coincidence that Butler are 5-11 ATS in their L16 home games and 4-10 ATS as a home favorite. One reason this line is inflated is because Butler are "ranked" while Loyola are "unranked". The issue is this is one spot where Loyola has often played well. In fact, Loyola are 4-0 ATS in their L4 visits to Butler. Also note that Loyola lost at home to Butler by a grand total of 1 point as a 12-point underdog. While Butler will definitely win SU, it's hard to imagine them doing so by over 20 points. Besides, what will they gain by beating a team by that many points?
        It's either Loyola +21 or pass.

            I don't see them covering this at all!! They are crap against the spread. Loyola lost to them by 1 last month. loyola actually beat them by 4 last year! Butler is 2-5 as a fav of more than 12 and loyola is 9-5 as an underdog. I'm absolutely going to take loyola. They must have some confidence and not be intimidated since they almost beat them last month and did win last year. GL whatever you play

                When I saw L-IL +21 I about fell out of my chair, I'll probably bet it but it seems way to easy.

                  Sometimes they are easy. But when that kid missed all three free throws after getting fouled on a three, it started to feel a little harder.
