Memphis -4 v Belmont?

[Mr. Doughnut]

Duke was overrated, and I do like Belmont in general. They have a great coach that always has Belmont prepared. But Memphis is a far more athletic team compared to Duke. Plus, Memphis is returning all 5 starters. Don't see how Belmont keeps this one close.

Any other thoughts on this game?

[Semper Fidelis]

I'm certainly no expert on college baskets-football is my specialty-but I lean more towards Belmont for this one. I agree that duke is usually overrated, but there's something about this Belmont team that makes me a believer. I could easily see them upsetting Memphis here. Just my opinion though. Definitely listen to what everyone has to say-there ate many good cappers on this forum. Hell I may find some info that'll make me bet on Memphis.

[paranoyd androyd]

would never bet on memphis - can't stand poorly coached and unintelligent players who just try to get by on their talent alone gl

[BiGTonyHAHA]

so are you saying that you guys think memphis is overvalued at only 4 pts?

[suicidekings]

I don't like either side here. Two good teams with a lot to prove facing off early in the season. The line is sharp.

[Ushouldpayme]

The only thing that scares me about taking Belmont is that they were down 16 to Duke. So they have some gaps there that Memphis will probably exploit.

[BiGTonyHAHA]

memphis comes in ranked in the ap top 25... where is belmont in the poll? im really leaning towards memphis here unless i can be persuaded otherwise. dukes first game of the season a little sluggish? i would figure memphis should be getting at least maybe 8 on there ranking alone no?

Ranking in Week 1 means very little. They're only marginally more informed than the preseason predictions at the moment.

[unique1]

Ranking doesn't mean anything the first couple weeks, but I like both teams, tease it with Kentucky and you got a winner.

[ignacio444]

I value coaching so I was expecting to bet Belmont here, but I also thought the line would be somewhere between 6 and 8, so now I don't know..

[BiGTonyHAHA]

teasing kent state(+13)/memphis(pick em) thoughts?

[starfire]

Hope its not tight, cuz memp can't shoot ft...

[thebestthereis]

Belmont SU, good luck!

[lite1up]

I'm getting Belmont +5 at bodog....can't pass up a good line. Memphis was highly ranked last season and had the same problem they typically do - lack of discipline and poor coaching. I expect Memphis to start off slow again this year.

Tempted to make a small play on the Belmont ML at +165 as well.

memphis -185

[starfire]

Too much love on belmont...
Here I come Memphis

[bkeith12]

memphis -2 first half is the play, lets get it

[saints1856]

memphis -185

My site has Memphis -195... I'll hop on that since Memphis has 9 of 10 starters coming back. Maybe they'll be a little more experienced this year....

I made the exact opposite tease for small. 2 good teams with decent pts.

[RED]

Duke was way over rated, we will see that tonight when MI state rips them up.

[robfromsc]

Lets not overthink the pick, Memphis wins and covers, Duke plays that half court O and Memphis runs up and down the court and are more athletic.

[KnowingNothing]

From what I read, since 2003, Belmont have lost 13 ranked matches in a row.

I was an idiot for taking Rider because they almost pulled a major upset, not going to make the same mistake with Memphis.

[KnowingNothing]

Memphis just dropped from -4.5 to -3...updates anyone?

[Mr. Doughnut]

This is what I'm thinking. I think Memphis will run them out of the gym.

[Mikail]

I can get Memphis -2 should I take it?

[bkeith12]

Yea, please dont bet on this game.

[bkeith12]

I can get Memphis -2 should I take it?

Yep.

[Money]

game getting bet wayyy down, down to 2.5 now. i like memphis in this spot. I think they are superior team playing at home

[Mikail]

I took Memphis -2 now it has since moved back to -3 so at least I got a decent line. Hope these Belmont guys had a fluke against Duke and get outplayed by Memphis now.

[homerbush]

Memphis out of conference against unranked foes usually pounds then and does not let foot off gas

In college hoops the voter rankings mean nothing all season.

[ksatch]

Memphis looked good early, now getting really sloppy.....have Memphis -1 1/2 1H, can't believe they let Belmont back in this after that 13-0 run

There have been alot of big line swings the past two days, (brown going from +1.5 to -2), and the line swings have not been indicative of which team covers. Brown got beat up, don't overthink the line swings the first few weeks.

Actually a lot of them have, just gotta throw out meaningless line swings.

Big moves on Penn and Detroit, Umass, yesterday. All covered. Penn almost won SU.

Bunch of others but it is really hard to tell which line move is real with this many games.
