    Colorado -5
    Colorado is coming off 2 straight losses straightup and against the number. They will bounce back and win this game. New Orleans is 5-1 and has not played anyone that great. They are 3-0 on the road and are due for a loss. Colorado is a 5 point favorite at home. Right now I am favoring Colorado to cover this game at the half and the total game. Anyone have any insight on the this matchup.

    I think the real question is who did Colorado beat to be favored by 5 points. NO is undefeated on the road with wins over NC State and Tulane. If they can beat NC State on the road they can beat Colorado on the road.

      I have to agree with Pavy on this one. New Orleans beating the Wolfpack is impressive. Colorado has been pretty poor at home this season, struggling to score. I hadn't really looked much at this game until this post, but I may take a shot with the New Orleans ML on this one fellas. GL whatever you play.

        agree guys. i dont like to think of a team, who has won on the road, as a team who is due to lose. i think of them as a quality road team who adjusts well to the pressure of being away from home.. no reason for n.o. to lose here. they have already beaten better teams on the road. only thing that would stop me from hitting the ml is the altitude.

              The Seer is right. I think professors call it the Law of Independent Trials, or something like that (in essence, when you flip a coin, the odds are 50/50, even if the last three flips in a row turned up heads). I know that basketball teams are made up of people with emotions, not things, like coins, but still, I generally don't bet on "due."

              Moving beyond that, I see that New Orleans scores more points per game than CU (71.5 v. 59.9), and outscores their opponents by more (+7.0 v. +1.4).

              Careful on this one, tab.

                  That felt good! I hardly bet ML dogs but the +180 was too good to pass. I even had the nerves to bet 2H +2 so it was relief when they won the game.
