Two red flags for Saturday

[MonkeyF0cker]

Two interesting things going on early in terms of line movement:

The total on the Kansas/UNLV game is flying up. It opened at 136.5 and has shot up to 139 already. UNLV plays a slow tempo game with solid defense. Only 1 game in their last 10 has eclipsed this mark. I'm going to keep letting it climb (hopefully) and pound the under just before tipoff.

UCLA has 68% of the public consensus yet the line keeps dropping. Big money's on A&M to cover. I'm going to grab it at +10 for fear that it may continue to sink on me.

Thanks for the heads up on that total. I am watching it closely and it seems to have settled at about 139.

F0cker,

I agree totally with the UNLV Under, and I may regret betting it at 138.

As for UCLA game, I do lean toward A&M, but I think the Under is the better play so I went that way.

UNLV doesn't play that slow of a tempo. Plus, their tempo is about as slow as Kansas's is quick, so it'll somewhat even out. UNLV does have a decent defense, but Kansas has the most efficient offense in the country (and it's not even close). I won't play it, but I've got the total over 139.

Yeah after second thought, I can't really trust A&M to show up no matter where the money's going. However, I was thinking the over was safer than the side. What makes you like it under, LT? Do you think A&M can keep UCLA under 70?

UCLA has one of the best defenses in the country, Texas A&M only averages 59 points per game on the road under normal circumstances, and they figure to slow the tempo even more today to give themselves the best chance at an upset.
