Based on first thought and no research as of yet I like the following:
Uconn +4
Purdue +7.5 hopefully we can get that one at +8
Auburn +14.5 I feel like they will cover after their good play against FloridaComment -
MARQ averages 85.1 ppg at home and gives up 63.8 while CONN gets 74.2 ppg and gives up on the road 73.5 ppg. i really like MARQ at home on this one. they rolled over NOTRE DAME a couple weeks ago and their power ratings are not that far apart.Comment -
First off let me say that Uconn has one of if not the best leaders/players in the game right now in Kemba Walker, now that is going to be a bigger factor than those statistics you just threw up and let me explain why. Last night Notre Dame played Pitt, at Pitt. going into that game Notre Dame was 0-3 on the road losing by an average of 17 points to Saint John's, Marquette, and Syracuse. Needless to say Notre Dame pulled out an upset victory as an 11 point underdog. Now back to the game at hand, Connecticut beat Texas a few weeks back at Texas! My point being, Uconn will win this game. Take Uconn with the points big.Comment -
hmmmmmm i guess we are going to danceComment -
Do not get me wrong I am wondering why Uconn is the underdog here too but I just have to go with any team this talented when they are getting points.
Uconn is 6-1 Against the Spread this year on the road, and 4-1 Against the spread in their last 5 games. With that said Marq is also 4-1 against the spread in their last 5 games and is 6-1 against the spread in conference games. Marq did lose to Wisconsin and Gonzaga at home, which confirms that they are very beatable on their own court.Comment -
Like uconn here tooComment -
hey was wondering what your thought was on Dayton -2.5, VTech -3, and Georgia -2.5....those are my plays for todayComment -
In the Dayton game I feel that Richmond is a much better team. Richmond has solid wins over #12 Purdue and also Seton Hall. Richmond has lost only one game this year by more than 7 points, to a good Georgia tech program. Dayton recently lost to Umass, a team that Richmond handled easily in a 16 point victory ON THE ROAD. Richmond is a dangerous team look for them to win this game. My Pick: Richmond +2.5
The conference game between GT and VT should be a good one as these two teams are both good when shooting the ball well from the field But 4-1 ATS in conference games I like VT to pull out a much needed victory here. My Pick: VT -2.5 (buy it down a half point) .
Coming off some recent scrutiny look for Billy D's team to show the country they deserve their newly found Top 25 ranking. Take Florida with the points here. My Pick: Florida +2.5Comment -
Toledo +5.5Comment -
Take the OVER in the UCONN/Marquette game. The over is 5-1 in UCONN's 6 road games and the over is 5-1 in Marquette's 6 home games. That's a combined 10-1 on the over for these two teams. Good luckComment -
Colo + 8.
KU will be deflated, on the road, after first loss of the season, teams in this position do not bounce back on the road, their dreams of undefeated seasson is over... they will play just good enought to win (Milton Berle game). HUGE game for Colo, decent club getting 8 pts at home, they stunk it up in Oklahoma, partially because they were overconfident and looking forward to the KU game.Comment
