    2 BIG plays for Sunday!

    Ohio State (+3.5)
    Pitt (+2.5)


    Guys, on a neutral court, Pitt is probably just as good as Nova. They're a tough team so I had this game capped at Pitt -3.5 which seems a little off, but they should be favored. On the other side, Ohio State is the better team. Factor in 5 points for homecourt and I came up with Michigan State -1 or -1.5. No brainer to take the 3.5. BOL guys. Sorry I didnt get this up sooner!

    If on a neutral court you say pitt os probably just as good as nova, then why are they underdogs at home? I think nova is clearly better, and the books do too. Mcghee and Pena are pretty much a wash inside and then the guards aren't really close if you ask me. Sure Pitt has some good guards in wannamaker, dixon, and gibbs, but they dont compare to novas. nova goes about 5 or 6 deep there all of which are better than pitts IMO. regardless, good luck with your choice, but im on nova.

    thats my opinion. In all actuality this game should be a dead pick. Using previous lines on common opponents I came up with Nova minus around 3 or 3.5. You add in 5 points for home court which is just the average and you get Pitt +1.5 or so. Factor in that Pitt is nearly unbeatable at home and you should add another 1-2 points IMO. So game should be a dead pick or maybe even Pitt -1

    another solid play I see is Marquette +2. I really think this would be a pick on a neutral site so Cincy should be -3 easy but Marquette is 12-7 ATS and Cincy is 6-14 so Vegas obviously hasn't had a great feel for the teams which takes away the pick on a neutral court. IMO, Marquette would be favored by 3 or 4 on a neutral court, so on the road, I think the line should be closer to a pick than -2
