What's the basis for the Montana hard-on tonight???

[gonnakillit]

This is too funny. Board is gonna lose a lot tonight. Baylor @ Nebraska ring a bell?

Montana @ Idaho St. lose by 2 but won by 23 at home

Montana beat Portland St. by 32 at home and are now only favored by 1

Every person on this board is blowing their wad on Montanta and ur all gonna lose.

Any person that's been around this board know this game should be an auto Portland St. play or no play

But keep pounding Montana.

I can't wait for the threads tonight about how there is no way Portland St. should have won the game and this shit is fixed and blah blah blah

[jaymac82980]

that 32 point win is exactly why. people arent looking into the fact that portlans st. is a different team at home - as are many teams. but they have a great SU home record.

i'm not touching this one.

[iMxth3xbossx5000]

If Montana won the first time around by 32 points, it's unreasonable to think they would lose this game. Yeah, it looks like a trap based on the line but unless these games are fixed and the bookies know what the results will be before the game even starts, then theres no reason to not back the better team which is Montana here tonight

[Wolf40]

Its not worth big money this is the type of game the bookies make the money on. if the line doesnt move knowing that the public is all over Montana then don't touch it. If the line goes to 2 or 2 1/2 then I'll take a couple Units on Montana. No move equals watch out big time trap here!!

[Wolf40]

FYI - Denver beat the spurs twice by 10 at home this year everyone jumped all over Denver and the line stayed even when Parker was out it only moved .5. the books wanted people to keep slamming denver and look what happened. If they aren't confident and start getting worried that the public might win they will move the line

[gonnakillit]

Montana beat Idaho by 23 at home and lost by 2 on the road....so it's unreasonable for the same thing to happen tonight?????????????????????????????????

use ur brain when you talk please

Portland St. has only lost twice at home all year....

They beat the crap out of Northern Colorado at home (the second best team in their conference)

They only lost to Webber St. (best team in conference) by 3 on the road.

So what are you talking about exactly?

[Snake811]

Portland St. F Julias Thomas and G Melvin Jones were being detained by campus police in connection to a robbery and there status for tonights game is uncertain. Coach Geving is awaiting investigation.

If that were true why wouldnt u have just posted that originally.....

[RetardStrength]

Here's why you listen to OP...

Portland State will host Montana tonight in a Big Sky Match-up. The underdog is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings between these two teams and Portland St. is getting 1 at home tonight. Portland St is 5-5 in the Big Sky this season while Montana is 8-4. As a home dog of .5 to 6.5 the Vikings are 6-1 ATS and 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 as a home dog overall. The Grizzles are 4-9 ATS in last 13 games as a road favorite of .5 - 6.5. Montana is also 1-5 ATS in last 6 games following a SU win of more than 20 pts. (Won last game 91-68 vs. Idaho St.)

who/what is OP?

who/what is OP?

OP = Original Post(er)= YOU!!

[gonnakillit]

OP = Original Post(er)= YOU!!

never heard that before.

[RetardStrength]

never heard that before.

We agree on this game... I'm riding the other side, or staying away...

[Snake811]

MONTANA all The way,, Key info is Key info!!!!

[grzftbl]

I'm a Montana fan and I ain't touching this game.

PSU plays great at home, not so much on the road which is typical of the Big Sky Conference.

On paper, the Griz win by DD, however, I'm not touching it! Portland St is a different team at home (as mentioned earlier, they beat No Col--a damn good team).

GL all...AND GO GRIZ!


EDIT: If y'all gotta play something, play Eastern Washington +2 at home vs Montana State. MSU's 4 of 5 conference losses are on the road (like Port St, shitty road team). MSU's 5th loss was at home vs...Eastern WA. I like the dog at home.

[MoneyBank]

Im on the Portland St. money train choo choo!!

[GGPLAYER]

Its not worth big money this is the type of game the bookies make the money on. if the line doesnt move knowing that the public is all over Montana then don't touch it. If the line goes to 2 or 2 1/2 then I'll take a couple Units on Montana. No move equals watch out big time trap here!!

Line has moved to -1 on many books.

why is it unreasonable? port st is streaky and stuggle on the road....how in any way does that mean they are not capable of winning this game tonight? it doesnt.....tough gym to play in against a team that can score on any1 any givin night

[dknight734]

where did u hear this info?

[2daBank]

if this were true the game would have been off the board quicker than shit

[dknight734]

how come they aren't talkin about it on espn or anything? u'd think it would be a top story, something like that.

[Powderguy]

LMAO! Nothing involving these two teams should ever be featured on ESPN.

[dknight734]

two star players being held for a robbery. i think that would make the news, no metter what team they were on.

dude im 99% its str8 bs....do you think books would continue to let ppl pound away at Mont if this shit was true? game would be off the board

[Snowball]

Really can't see what Portland St backers have going for them other than they want to be naysayers against the popular consensus.
Montana is a much better team. It's really hilarious. Portland St lost by 32 at Montana on January 9th. As if Montana is going to forget in one month how to beat this team ? http://www.cbssports.com/collegebask...tana-grizzlies

As for the much ballyhooed Portland St home trend, wat ? come again ?
They lost their last home game Feb 9, to SEATTLE. They also lost to No. Arizona the home game before that. The same No. Arizona team Montana just walked into their place and smoked them by 20.

[Wolf40]

Then Snowball why do you think the line is only 1 and STAYING at 1 with 83% backing Montana. they are letting people pound montana for a reason

[Snowball]

it's a Conference game. Portland St chances virtually over if they lose this.
home court advantage, all that. the talk, the chest-thumping. I don't know.

the line is now -1.5

[Wolf40]

Coming in I loved Montana but I am starting to get skeptical (hopefully not just over thinking) becasue of the public and the line

[gonnakillit]

how come they aren't talkin about it on espn or anything? u'd think it would be a top story, something like that.

'

its not true hes full of shit

[Glitch]

washington u beat cal by 15 in their first meeting and lost by about the same amount last night. thats a 30 point turnaround- dont know exactly what it was- turned that shit off around halftime

Once again montana also beat Idaho St. by 20+ at home and lost to them on the road

what about when portland st beat northern colorado at home by double digits, and only lost to weber st. by 3 on the road? those by the way are the 2 best teams in the conference.

Oh....and one more thing 65% on Montana yet the line has dropped.

[Snowball]

those %'s are meaningless. you can't get real info on where the money is going.
that's nothing but a peek into what the public thinks.
Consider only participating offshore books are included in that figure.
No street bets, no Vegas.
Also how do you really know that is money and not just number of bets ?
i always see people use those figures and wonder why the line goes the other way sometimes. it's because of the reasons i say. They are not truly valid.

that % is just one of many many many factors as to why portland st. is the play.

You seem to have ignored all my other points.

[awhitejackson]

Portlands total Defensive numbers are the worst in NCAA.......

347th out of 347 nationally in defensive efficiency, 344th in effective field goal percentage allowed, 344th in three point percentage allowed (42%), 335th in two point percentage allowed (54.3%) and 329th in offensive rebounds allowed......

Thats why Montana is giving evryone a hard on @ -1.....

[Flight]

I make the line Montana -4. Definitely a system play at -1. I don't care what the public is on or what the news is or what the bookies want us to think. Play the numbers. If I lose, too bad. This play has a greater than 50% chance of winning.
