    Dukeblue Tuesday Jan 26 plays

    Here are my early leans. As usual, I will finish capping then post my final card. If anyone has any suggestions or news about the games I have posted please let me know. Thanks.


    1. Clemson -3 (@ BC)
    2. Northwestern +11 (@ Minn)
    3. Over 149.5 Baylor/KSU
    4. UNC -2 (@ NC St)
    5. Over 125.5 UNLV/AF
    6. Mich St -4 (@ Mich)
    7. UAB -3.5 (vs. Tulsa)
    8. Ball St +2.5 (vs. Miami OH)
    9. Under 131.5 UAB/Tulsa

    Once again, these are just the lines that stuck out to me as possibilities. I will shrink this list to 4-5 plays by tip off.

    That is what I saw too. Which is kind of why I wanted to get them in asap so the lines do not move to much. I'm gonna watch the lines and if they start to shift away from what I want then I'll just skip the play. Maybe I'll get lucky and the lines will move in my direction.

    Ball St. is bad, and Miami Ohio is probably top 3 in the MAC, they've played one of the toughest schedules in CBB which is why they have no road wins and a horrible record. Miami Ohio is easy money tonight IMO

    I considered that and Minn could cover that, but when I look at a game that the underdog could win outright, I have to take the points (especially double digit points). Minn is a streaky team, and could be in for a let down after losing that tough one to Mich St.

    Deffinately could be right....but whenever I see a line that makes ZERO sense I stay away at all costs. Minny has no business being double digit favorites in this spot. Shouldnt be more than 6 IMO so for it to be this high sent off red lights

    Very true. I thought it would be 6.5 to 8 myself. I usually stay away from these sorts of games too, but I just couldn't get off this one. I hope I'm right. If not, I'll certainly give you your props.

    Hey guys very interesting, as a UK fan, TUBBY's teams always played to the competition level after Pitino's players graduated. Minnesota is no differant imo. especially in conference. Minn. coming off hard battled lose that they should had won and Northwestern flying high winning at home over Ill. But I don't think Northwestern has the letdown in this matchup, I think Minn. does in this situation. Just my opinion guys BOL tonight and thanks again.

    Adding:

    1. Depaul +17
    2. Ball St. +3.5

    These are 2 questionable ones but what the hell!
