    Talk me out of betting large on U.C.L.A.
    OK, I am contemplating betting large on U.C.L.A. -15 vs. the University of Michigan today. I think the Wolverines are really horrible. Central Michigan just beat them straight up. I think this number is great. I thought the number would be over 20. Is there an injury that I am not aware of? I really like this value. Please provide thoughts or which team you are taking. Thanks.

    I'm looking for the same reason you are. As a Bruin alum, I thought maybe I was biased here. C'mon, please somebody tell us why this number isn't hung at 20?

      Go Michigan.


      Although something is seems to be going on with this spread considering :

      2006 Michigan 55 UCLA 92
      2005 UCLA 68 Michigan 61

      Michigan 2-4 ATS last 6 playing UCLA

        Down to 12.5. I'm gonna pay dearly for not understanding this.

          I haven't looked into it fully, but it strikes me as a very dangerous bet, that is a huge number to cover on the road against a team that is still a major program. Michigan might be horrible, but things can change very quickly at any point in the NCAA hoops season, particularly now. Right before the X-Mas/New Year's week, that is a huge huge number to cover on the road. I would take Michigan in this one if I had to, but I certainly didn't bet it, GL to anyone who took UCLA.

            OK, I have my answer now thanks to Howland's always-inventive offensive scheme.

                    Cha-ching!!! I got action at U.C.L.A. -14, not the -15 that I thought I would get when I looked the number up here. I was pissed the first half. I turned the game off until 3 minutes to go in the second half.

                        So you were on this board posting that you wanted to make a bet during halftime and somehow were unable to make the bet?
