Pennyslvania +1.5 (h) -105
I got this spread from the Greek sportsbook. The overall spread for the game is Pennyslvania +3.5. THis spread here is somewhat inflated. Taking the halftime at -105 is the best bet for anytime halftime game today. The greek book did not want to make Lasalle a 2 point favorite at the half. Instead they moved the line for Lasalle -1.5 (-115) which is not a good bet. I wish the book had move the line to Penn -2 (-110) and I would be all over it. THere is no good reason to lay wood (-115, -120) on favorites that do not cover. Penn will not cover the spread the game at the half, the game but they will win the game outright.

NEw MExico/TCU under 66 (h)
I like taking unders where one team will score in the low 30's and the other in the mid 20's. This is conference game and both teams will play good defense. Both of these teams like to settle for a shot at the end of the shock clock. This is defniinte under and not like the game overall. I think any game can go over towards the end of the game or overtime. There is a lot of fouling in the 2nd half.

Missouri St -8.5

Gabriel Moore, Mick Yelovich and Todd McCoy are all Indiana State seniors. They have come to Missouri State three times and lost by 20, 19 and 24 points. They are not alone. Indiana State has not won here in an eternity, having dropped the last ten games by 15 ppg! It has been a problem for this class of Sycamores playing on the road, as they have logged a 3-26 SU mark in MVC road play. They have lost 18 games by double-digits! It has been a problem for Indiana State for a long time as they have logged just 12 wins in their last 85 road ventures. This Bears class has enjoyed a 22-8 mark at home in MVC play and 44-10 overall. And, both of their home conference wins this season have come by double-digits. There is too much distance between these teams which are night and day, home vs. away, and without Larry Bird on the floor for the Sycamores, Missouri State should roll.

Ok, still adding bets for some reason.

1* Ohio st. +320

MoneySportsGuy · 01-15-08, 06:08 PM

Man I am torn on this OSU and MSU game I really root for MSU and I know they have a nice home record but that Iowa loss really gets to me. I would assume they would come out firing but OSU is a good team so not sure if that is going to happen

manny24 · 01-15-08, 07:05 PM

lasalle -4.5

regularguy · 01-15-08, 07:29 PM

BYU +1.5 (at UNLV)
BYU shoots better and rebounds better. UNLV has shot under 40% in 3 out of their last 4. BYU usually shoots in the 45 to 50% range. UNLV may be a bit overrated.

Penn State +4 (v. Wisconsin)
I like Penn State at home in this one, looking to bounce back from the loss to Minnesota, with a strong effort. Wisconsin is the biggest game they've had at Penn State. I think they keep it real close.

NEw Mexcio and TCU looked liked a defnite under until 2 1/2 minutes left in the half. THey combined to score over 20 points in the last 2 minutes of the first half. This is something that happens only in the NBA. I wanted to cry after so many 3's were going in.

3-1 +3 units
nice day for me
TCU game was awesome, had them for .5 ML, talk about a great game.
