Detroit vs. Cleveland State

I'm on the Cleveland St ML. I think there is good value comparing the ML to my analysis. Its a really big play for me.

Those who bet by "rules" should not bet

Cleveland st. for me I like the write up. Detroit plays sloppy basketball and turns the ball over way too much.

I feel like the majority of people on here are taking detroit.... this may be one I lay off...sbr has put some doubt in my pick

You got a team in CSU that is only getting -2 with their record. Something fishy with this line.

clc49 · 02-07-11, 03:49 PM

agreed but i can see them winning and covering just as easy

I used to think like that. But sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade. Example: yesterday Ohio State, undefeated #1 team in the nation is giving 4.5 to Minnesota...line should have been about 7.5.

Sure, there are plenty of examples to the contrary as well, but I would advise getting past the 'fishiness' of lines and just realize that in a game like this, homecourt advantage is huge, and that's why Cleve State is only favored by 2. Once again, I'd argue that a more accurate line should have been CS -4. Therefore, I'm betting them at -2.

Cleveland State is much better bottom line. Detroit at home has suffered some bad blowout losses and have a tendency of not covering in general this season when they were the "sharp" play. Have to take Cleveland State imo.

i like CSU to cover, but like the over much more. i'm a little concerned that CSU might experience a slight letdown after Butler Saturday, but Waters doesn't usually allow his teams to let down. i think that it's CSU by 3-5, say, 78-74. BOL with your play, i'm a CSU fan so i'll definitely be pulling for you.

Cleveland St. doesnt **** around with shit teams like Detroit, im guessing a blow out. They got alot to play for. contending for 1st place. To all you who would like to take a 500 team to beat the best in the conference GL.

Cleveland State puts up a ton of points and can score quickly and efficiently.. I really don't see how they can lose this game.. They are a quality team as previously mentioned by someone else. They should win

They're not as good as you think; pathetic Butler that lost to lowly YSU team in previous game destroyed Vikings on there home floor few days later. Detroit is a play tonight.

That angle makes sense as well.

I feel like I should take this opportunity to tell everyone that if you're playing Cleveland State like I am, so be it. But a short home dog like Detroit tonight wins more often than it loses. So whatever your play is, keep it reasonable and don't be the least bit surprised if there's an upset. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Romanov · 02-07-11, 05:52 PM

According to my shit, the line should be 5.5, pardon I meant my sheet

TPowell · 02-07-11, 06:01 PM

Detroit had 19 offensive rebounds in the first game. Detroit turned it over 19 times and shot like 50% from the foul line which is what lost them the game, CSU also shot 50% from the field

MUHerd37 · 02-07-11, 06:01 PM

So some of you want to take Detroit because Cleveland St. lost to Butler? Well then why not take Cleveland St. because Detroit has lost to Akron (13-10), Western Michigan (12-9), Bradley (8-16), and Wisconsin Milwaukee X2 (13-11) and some others. Cleveland St. just lost at home to Butler by 12 at home but Detroit lost at home to butler by 23. Honestly, I don't care too much about how Cleveland St. did against Butler and how Detroit did against Butler and then compare the teams that way. It's more about matchups and Cleveland St. is just the better team.

MUHerd37 · 02-07-11, 08:54 PM

Congrats to you Detroit backers. You were on the right side tonight.

LockPickMaster · 02-07-11, 08:56 PM

Only took Detroit because the Det coach was trying to cut down on turnovers in the last few games and Det had the rebounding edge.

[COLOR=#000000! important]refs were on Detroit...others think so too. very biased officiating.

Detroit turned the ball over 8 less times than the previous game and shot the ball nearly 20% better from the field, still won the rebounding battle as expected

wow detroit
