819 Kentucky +3 -110* vs Louisville
817 Northwestern +10½ -105* vs Purdue Stupid Northwestern gave that cover away at the line

861 Sacramento State +7½ -108* vs Idaho State
866 Eastern Washington +2½ -107* vs Northern Colorado
863 Northern Arizona -1 -108* vs Montana State

3-1 So far. The Christmas pattern continues lol

Added Eastern Wash and Norther Arizona.....not too confident in the East Wash play, but the system says its a go!!! BOL all!!!!

[Hanger]

Well lets see...
Sac St is going to overtime...
Minnesota is down 10, and cant hit a wide open 3 to save their lives...
Washington appears to be slowing down...

CRAP!

[Hanger]

Nice all Minnesota has to do is make a bucket, and this kid makes the WORST 3 point attempt I think I have seen all week...unreal...really

Mich St misses both free throws, Minnesota drives to the basket......loses control of the ball...there went my push....Michigan St all but gave up on that final drive and you lose the ball....how??

This woulda been a great 1H play tho...sigh.....yup getting frustrated with Big Ten teams today..

[JGetz]

Washington keeps fouling for some goddamn reason...I took em at 2h PK. They act like they're down by 10 or something, they have 20 + fouls

[YOUNGBUCK]

Washington is fine and minnesota what an epic collapse

[JGetz]

Yes Wash U is pullin away!!!

[Hanger]

819 Kentucky +3 -110* vs Louisville
817 Northwestern +10½ -105* vs Purdue Stupid Northwestern gave that cover away at the line
821 James Madison +4½ -110* vs Kent State Outright Solid win!!
857 Eastern Michigan +6 -108* vs Samford They almost blew this one....
823 Minnesota U +7 -101* vs Michigan State Suckers collapsed like the third reich
825 Washington U -3 -120* vs UCLA Oh why foul so much, but nice solid road sweep to start
861 Sacramento State +7½ -108* vs Idaho State Gave this won away as a SU win, OT still covered tho
866 Eastern Washington +2½ -107* vs Northern Colorado
863 Northern Arizona -1 -108* vs Montana State

5-2

Ahh Big Ten are my only losses......wonder why its frustrating me today....both had the covers at the halves, then just got outplayed in the 2H....So close to a 7-0 day...

[JGetz]

Why N Arizona Hanger?

[Hanger]

Why N Arizona Hanger?

Spread is only 1. N Arizona is better shooting % in every single type of shot. No Az limits their opponents offensive rebounds.They are getting almost 16 assists per game, which should equal points either in the paint or the elbow. No Az only shoots 3s on 18% of their possessions. Montana St shoots them on 29.5% of their possessions and are only making 36% of those on the year.

I have N Arizona winning by anywhere from 7-12. Dont expect to see Montana St shooting anywhere highly above 41% from anywhere on the floor.. If they do, then they are outplaying themselves and I will look for a 2H play here.

I actually think Montana St will be up at halftime, which works well as No Az is averaging more points in the 2H than they are in the 1H. Late starting team, might be an opportunity for a very nice 2H line.
We shall see.....thats my reasoning...like it or hate it, its mine lol

[Hanger]

Lets see if my pattern of bad 2H plays continue shall we::

863 Northern Arizona 2nd Half -3½ -110* vs Montana State
829 Washington State 2nd Half +1½ -110* vs USC

[YOUNGBUCK]

[Hanger]

Lets see if my pattern of bad 2H plays continue shall we:: 863 Northern Arizona 2nd Half -3½ -110* vs Montana State 829 Washington State 2nd Half +1½ -110* vs USC

YAY!!!! My stupid 2H plays continue to bury me!!! Ok New Years Resolution, no more 2H plays at all!! I dont care if Duke is down by 5 1H against William and Freaking Mary...no more 2H plays

Going to ruin a perfectly good day of capping....argh!!!

[JGetz]

Woooo ok.....I no longer denounce 2H plays...wow both Wash St and Northern Az came on strong late to win my 2H plays! WOOOOO

[ACoochy]

[Hanger]

819 Kentucky +3 -110* vs Louisville
817 Northwestern +10½ -105* vs Purdue Stupid Northwestern gave that cover away at the line
821 James Madison +4½ -110* vs Kent State Outright Solid win!!

866 Eastern Washington +2½ -107* vs Northern Colorado WOOOOOO, that was a close one, the hook wins it!!
863 Northern Arizona -1 -108* vs Montana State
863 Northern Arizona 2nd Half -3½ -110* vs Montana State
829 Washington State 2nd Half +1½ -110* vs USC Wow, thought these two were dead to rights. Barely cover!!! Tie 2H LOL

8-3

Man great day so far!!! Lots of close plays.....but I was on the same side of a few of them!!!!

[Hanger]

Well did it again...having a good day and finding reasons for plays....Adding:

841 Seton Hall +9½ -110* vs Cincinnati

Not sure if this is going to stick....thinking 5dimes had an error and I actually missed this play..

[JGetz]

missed you're 2H plays and seton hall!! Good work though

[Hanger]

Was tempted to play San Jose St here plus a boatload of points, but backed off...almost pulled the trigger twice....so if anyone is on it, it will probably win

[JGetz]

You like Seton Hall +3 1/2 2H? Pretty much saying they'll cover the +9 1/2.

[Hanger]

I thought about it Getz....but I dont want to chase anymore tonight....that could be a bad double loss...down 6 at half is not what I expected

Still working on a play or 2 lol

[JGetz]

good point.

[ShogunRua]

Hangman, any leans on the Gonz/OK St. game?

[Balco10]

Hanger any thoughts for the Zag -7 vs Cowboys?

[Hanger]

Ahh just missed Hawaii -.5 2H play.....took a second too long looking at something

[Hanger]

ADD:

847 Oklahoma State +7½ -105* vs Gonzaga

On Ok St double my normal bet. I have tried to figure this out all day...I have been drooling here...I think the Zags win the game, but I like Ok St to keep it close, perhaps win. I don't see Zags covering 7.5 here. Looks like public is on Ok St here.....Zags play a tougher schedule so far, but...Ok St plays a tough defense, only allowing 44% from the field on the year.

Ok St is only allowing opponents to get about 26 pts in the 1H. I am sure a lot of that has to do with SoS, but I think thats key here. Like I said I think this game could go either way, but I think 7.5 is too much to cover tonight

[Balco10]

Too late I fire a buck on the Zags -5 as I bought this down a little.
I also like LT +4 over Idaho.
Ohio St and UW saved me today. Started out bad out of the gate
with two losses on Louisville ML, NW +10, UG Bulldogs -6 in the bowl game...
Also have Nevada tonight which is looking good.

All of this a side...the Packers need to win. If the Falcons win over the Panthers,
then the Bears have nothing to play for and may rest players. Falcons play first
before this game goes off, so the bears will know the results.
Green Bay looks good and might be idea to look into tonight before the line
goes the Packers way.

[Hanger]

I also like LT tonight waiting right before tip to see what I can get on it

[Balco10]

You and me both...about waiting for right tip.
Zags now -8 at Legends.

[Hanger]

Cant have a losing day now.....gonna finish 2010 and December very strong!!!

[Balco10]

I also took Tech +5 even if Gibson their 3rd leading scorer is out with 10 points per game.
Good luck and have a Happy New Year and a winning year!
Glad I fired some on Florida State.

[Balco10]

Screwed myself taking under 24 2nd half! LT is doing it again choking in the first half. Shit were down almost 20 now!
