Looks awesome. In fact, Unders and 1H dogs are generally profitable in these non-conference neutral-site games.

agree, especially in the first game of the day when it seems guys are tighter shooting the ball. the OTs yesterday have me thinking 1H under if i play unders and there's any chance of a tight game. BOL to you today, Wilforth. let's keep it going.

Good morning, good luck today.

Anyone like Oakland +5.5 1H or +10 for the game? After seeing the dogs cover yesterday, and the BE play like crap, I'm liking this play more and more.

wallyjones2009 · 03-19-10, 08:47 AM

looks good

Rick22 · 03-19-10, 08:55 AM

Good Luck today Biff. Let's keep it going today - yesterday was good, but MU let me down. That's why I try not to be a homer. Like that under, but I'm also liking Minn. and Purdue. Big Ten scares me a little though. Looking forward to the Cornell/Temple game - should be a beauty. I lean Temple, but Cornell was so good to me early in the year. Probably just pass and watch.

3* Oakland +9'

was thinking about 1H +5' too, but think i'll go with the game. the line movement is looking promising. Pitt is guard-heavy and doesn't get enough points in the paint to put away lesser teams consistently, which is why it seems like they play down to opponents. i am somewhat concerned that Oakland got taken to the woodshed by their NCAA-caliber opponents early in the season (Wisconsin, Kansas, Sparty, Cuse), but those were all before Christmas and all on the road. I'm counting on them being a different team than they were in those games, and that 10 points is too much for Pitt to cover against a lesser opponent knowing that they'll have Xavier or Minnesota on Sunday.

gotta say, i didn't play it, but was really bummed about Marquette losing. i love that team. that was the worst loss that my brackets took yesterday, had them at least Sweet 16 in all, Final 4 in one. oh well, that's what i get for going with my heart and not my head with them. Washington is way hot too.

can't wait for Cornell/Temple either, but not playing it. i'd lean Cornell, but just slightly. i think the number's just about right.

i like Minnesota a little and Purdue more. taking Siena and only 4 points seems like lunacy.

hokieneer · 03-19-10, 09:12 AM

Oakland has some size up front and Pitt doesn't. I think that will keep the game close.

Game is in Milwaukee, so if there is any "home court" it should be with Oakland.

I'm liking the Utah St +3.5 more and more. I see that game as a pk, with maybe A+M slight favorites. Utah St. is ridiculous at shooting 3s so that should keep the score close.

both good points. Pitt has very little inside, and Oakland's very strong on offensive boards, and also that it always seems better to back the team closer to the tourney site.

working on Wisky/Wofford now, then USU-A&M, but i can tell you right now that my power ratings say USU is a half-point better than A&M.

Rick22 · 03-19-10, 09:21 AM

So far - Minn U 1H
Oakland +9 1/2
Utah St +3
Purdue -4 1/2
Trying to resist the urge to go crazy.............

So USU +3.5 seems like an easy play? I think penPom has USU at -1 also.

USU +3.5 and USU ML are good plays, IMHO.

well, not sure that i'd say easy, but put it this way - no way i'd want to be on A&M. had to take care of some stuff but back now. if i play it, will post it as soon as i do.

like the way you think, pal. and love USU +3'. they're the more veteran team, have outstanding offensive firepower, and A&M struggles at the line. i have USU outright by 3, 64-61. may look to put USU in a money line parlay with something tonight.

hokieneer · 03-19-10, 10:10 AM

Don't parly on march madness, you're just asking for trouble.

That said, I might make a small parlay play on Oakland ML & USU ML. Getting good odds on that, enough to warrant a small play.

delldog · 03-19-10, 10:16 AM

I'm gonna ride with this.

BiffTFinancial · 03-19-10, 10:23 AM

4* Utah State +3'

i don't think that this line will go to 4, but if it does, i'll play it again and/or play 1H +2

updated early card
4* Utah State +3'
3* Minnesota/Xavier 1H under 66
3* Oakland +9'

still mulling over a couple of 1H totals, but this may be it for the first half of the card. BOL to all today.

i agree on that. i rarely play parlays (only played one all season), and if i do, they're small. if i did this one, it would be USU ML with something i'm playing late. pays 1:3.4. so, if i lose USU ML, i just play the late play normal. if USU wins ML, i can get a great payout with less risk on something i was already going to play.

hokieneer · 03-19-10, 10:40 AM

Forgot the USU game is an afternoon game. Assumed it was a night game being in Spokane and all.

FSU -1 or -1.5 might be a good play. I've liked FSU since the bracket came out, think they are a much better team. Zags can score some points, so that scares me a little. On BoDog that parly is paying 1:3.5

I like Cal +1. That parlayed with USU is paying 1:3.4.

I like your X/Minn 1H under, think I'm going to ride that. I'm going to finish up my plays in a few and post them. I went 3-2 yesterday, so a good day today would be a nice start for my return from a 5 year absence.

i'm actually leaning Gonzaga in that one, though still working on the late games. Cal-Louisville is likely no-play for me because Louisville is so inconsistent.

BOL to you today, pal. did you go to VT or WVU? my younger sister went to VT.

hokieneer · 03-19-10, 10:48 AM

On BoDog, Sienna just picked up .5. Line is now 4.5. Trying to stay away from that game, but they are making it difficult.

hokieneer · 03-19-10, 10:50 AM

BOL to you today, pal. did you go to VT or WVU? my younger sister went to VT.

Both, haha. Went to VT for a few years, but got to expensive paying out of state tuition. Came back home to WV and went to WVU.

I really like the WVU/Morgan St under; but trying to avoid playing a game with WVU in it.

agree that the under is the play on that game if you're going to play it.

hokieneer · 03-19-10, 11:06 AM

Took the X/Minn 1H U
Managed to get Temple -3 on Bodog, made a modest play on that.

That's all I got for the 1st 3 games, be back to figure out how i'm playing the oakland/USU line.

Biff, what's your opinion on Wiscy/Wofford?

Don't know what I was thinking yesterday. I had a winning day bet wise but put more units on the ones that lost...of course!! Looking back if you would just bet all underdogs you could have had like 14 wins depending on when you got the line. I think I am sersiouly going to consider this moving forward. GL today Biff

i have Wisky by 12-13 and it goes under by a couple (62-50). i know that a lot of guys like Wofford today, but i think that this is actually a bad match-up for them. also, i rarely go against Bo Ryan, especially off a loss.

thanks, man. yeah, that sucks when that happens. it's why i'm moving more and more to having all wagers same about instead of a 5*, 2 4* rest 3* like i used to. nothing worse than going 2-1 but barely being up because the winners were 3* but the loser was 5*.
