Notre Dame +3

[flakeandbake]

Do people think that ND looks as promising as I do?

ND lost their first big east road game badly to Syracuse and their only other road loss was to Kentucky. At home this year they have beaten good big east teams like Georgetown and Uconn. They also man handled St. Johns at home by 15 points (St. Johns beat Georgetown). However, Marquette is a great basketball team and only lost to Duke this year by 5 points. ND is 1-0 against the spread when they are plus 3.. Marquette is 1-2 when they are favored by 2-2.5 points (They have no yet been 3 point favorites). ND won it's last road meeting with Marquette 63-60. I haven't gotten to see Marquette play to much this year but I wanna take ND in hopes they will win the game outright... What do you guys think?

i love it!!!!!! i am on it.. ML is the right bet.. but what do i know

[CollegeOverUnder]

these are probably my 2 favorite basketball teams in the Big East And this is a really tough spot I can see either team winning this game but this will defintly be a very good ball game both teams have a lot of heart in them and will give you a great showing

[LockPickMaster]

I love Marquette and the way they play which is fiery but gonna take ND and the points as Hansborough is on fire right now and ND has rebounding edge. Whoever wins the rebounding game will win this game and adding three points helps out.

I think Marquette covers here. I really like Notre Dame this year, but they've had some tough games lately and on the road with a scrappy Marquette team, spells lose to me.

[CollegeOverUnder]

honestly I feel like if were going to compare the scappy factor in this

Marquette gets the edge at like 52% to Notre Dame 48% only because the game is a home game for Quette

[aman86]

notre dame seems like the play here

[nyplayer33]

marquette is my lean

[jagaf22]

Tough call! Flip a coin

Ranked team getting points on the road....

You mean ND getting the 3 points?

[HoulihansTX]

You mean ND getting the 3 points?

YES!

They are playing an unranked team, bur are receiving points.

Makes you say hmmmm

This is a game where there is no real value for either side, so I usually lean home team in these situations. I can see this one coming down to the last possession for sure. The public will hammer ND and that is exactly what Vegas wants. I'd be careful.

I disagree. I think the general public is on ND but anybody betting with a little sense knows this can go either way.From what I've seen it's been all Marquette. I think the only value in this game is ND 1h.

i love the home team tonight ml

[HOT WINGS]

Marquette just got drilled on the road by Pitt as well. Think they will bounce back tonight at home. It should be a great game.

[Regul8er]

Drilled???? They only lost by 8, and Pitt shot out of their mind good (60%)

[No coincidences]

Exactly.

Never bet against an unranked fave at home. Ever.

[HOT WINGS]

Drilled might be a little extreme maybe that is just because I had Marquette +8.5 for the game and everytime I looked they were losing by 10 plus it seemed(think it was close to 20 at one point in 2nd half) I was lucky to get the backdoor cover on that one. Either way they are coming off a loss back at home favored against a conference ranked opponent.

[LockPickMaster]

The freaking line is now Marquette -3.5
If it hits -4 jump all over ND?

[rallymonkey]

as long marquette stays a fave, take marquette.

its a simple system, but betting unranked faves vs ranked dogs hits at a solid clip

[ThingsFallApart]

Really? One point goes from "never bet against the home team" to "JUMP ALL OVER ND"?

[LockPickMaster]

This is why Marquette wins:

Hansbrough will also try to fare better than he did in a 63-60 overtime victory at Marquette on March 6, when he shot 1 of 6 and scored four points. Tim Abromaitis scored 18 for Notre Dame and Carleton Scott had 14 points, 13 boards and the tying 3-pointer that forced the extra period.
The Irish are without Scott, who could miss a month with a partial tear of his left hamstring. The team leader with 25 blocks, Scott sat out the last two games.

Marquette seems like the play

[Mikeyanks23]

Marquette def would be the play id say. looks like they want you to take ND. Either way im gonn a lay off unless i put ND in a teaser

[Buckeye5234]

ND is the better team like them to win outright, looking over marquette's schedule hasnt been very tough at all and it just seems they lose to the teams they're supposed to and beat up on the sh*t teams
