    I am a little concerned about this line. Virginia is 0-8-1 in their last 9 ATS. All 9 against ACC foes. BC has been playing well despite that loss to NC State over the weekend. The line is 5 and 5.5 in some places now. This will be an avoid for me. Virginia seems like they will fall into a cover at this point.

      That's beginning to be my concern too.

            That's quite a great idea.

              A confusing line is what the oddsmakers want so there is 50-50.

                      These lines are a driving me up a wall... going into today I thought there might be some plays. I can't tell if bookmakers are trying to run a trap or if they took a hit of acid before they worked on them. I am tempted to monitor movement closely, all should be pounded by the public. If there is a dog that dosen't move much, then that may be were the big money is going, and possibly your play. But then again I am known for my over analysis. How the **** knows?

                        This is no over-analysis. Some of today's lines don't make much sense but I don't think the books have suddenly become so generous that they want to hand out money to the public.

                            I know there not giving it out, but something is up. Tech -3.5 on UNC?!?! Wake -4?!?!

                            When I looked at the games last night I had Tech at -7 and Wake at -6... and when lines move in my favor its never a good thing. But I dont want to touch Big 12 today... everything was screwy except Iowa St. and Ok St. and Big east is a little tougher to pick than yesterday. I guess I am venting because I was hoping that these plays would be big ones today.

                                It's important to keep in mind for these tourny games that some teams are playing for their lives, and some teams are playing not to get hurt...surely, the mentality of some of these teams is sketchy...I look at a game tomorrow for the prime example. Wisconsin vs. Illinois. I have no idea what the line is...but Wisco just pounded the Illini, IN Illinois over the weekend...but the line will likely come out a little lower than you'd expect, because it's a big bubble game for Illinois, and only means a potential higher seed for the Badgers. Sometimes, that factor matters, sometimes, it doesn't. A team like Wisconsin will just come to play no matter who they are playing, so the deflated line for the Badgers will work in the public's favor, but sometimes, Vegas has it right...now, finding which spot is which, that is the difficulty, and that is where the money is to be made or lost.

                                  I did a ML parley of Cuse, Nova and BC. If that hits letting it all ride on GT. I think people who still love UNC because of their name are keeping this line lower than what it should be. GT can still make the big dance with a strong showing in the ACC tourney. So much to play for vs a team that has nothing to play for. Hopefully I am right but the ACC this year has been brutal, at least for me.

                                      I like Boston College to cover this spread. Virginia has not won a game since Feb. 3, which puts them at 1-9 over their last 10 games, and they seem to have mailed it in. In those 9 losses, they have lost by an average of just over 13 points, including a 13 point loss to Boston College on March 3rd. I know that 81% is on BC, and the line is a little fishy and low, but I really think Boston College is the play here.

                                        ive had my moments in the acc mostly with clemson as ive had them pegged all year and did make a killing fading unc early and playing mia at home but lately its turned into a real fukkin crapshoot..i dont think you got anyone left who believes in unc as the unc ppl learned long ago to leave them alone....with the way the lines set it seems to me the only ppl betting unc today are the books....are they wrong sometimes? sure but im not trying to test them on this game....gl today

                                            I think there the lines are well-set by Vegas for these early games. One of my stronger leans today is Texas A&M giving the points...but these early games are tough...I think BC wins here, so I'll just go big on the ML and take the early cash for the rest of the day.

                                              Plus, no Sylven Landesberg for UVA means BC has much greater chance!!!! He was UVAs leading scorer with 17 ppg...BC beat UVA WITH him in the line up by 13 only a week or so ago. BC should roll here. 9 or 10 point victory.

                                                      i NEED BC to win this game today. I have BC and Syracuse in an early morning ml parlay just to start the day off with a bang. It paid 95 to win 91. Just 2 winners.

                                                            B.C. beats UVA by 13 a week ago, and then UVA's star player is out, and the line is only B.C. -5?
