Interesting you bring up North Texas, i've been on the fence all day about them. Do you see the line moving much today or most people going to overloook this game?

not too sure, its heavily touted so it might be moved to 2.5..... im a little uneasy too, this might be like last night's drake game

Locked in a small play on them but on the moneyline. Little bit of value at +130 I think. Here's a little food for though, the underdog and road team are 8-2 ATS their last 10 meetings while North Texas is 4-0 ATS while playing in Little rock...

thanks dom, i shouldve listed that in the initial post - is this possibly just a gift??? and what do you guys think of loyola losing big?

I went to school at North Texas and follow them pretty closely... I think coming off a bad loss at home against UL-Lafayette, I expect us to win outright tonight. Watch for Tony Mitchell (#13) to have another big night.

Also, fwiw, North Texas last played ULAR a year ago in the finals of the Sun Belt Conference tournament and lost by a buzzer beater, so that could be an added revenge factor.

I'm torn. Both north Texas and ark are very good ats. Texas has lost the last two to ark at north Texas and have not covered. That scares me. Should be a good game.

so north texas rolled to +2.5, this is going to be a 1 possession game at absolute worse so id buy the hook..... im much more confident now that gb dropped down to 2... public is on loyola, idiots

As a student who goes to Loyola, we're hosting GB tonight. All I know is we can't score, and Green Bay is a MUCH better team than us.

Also North Texas always plays akransas little rock hard - and are a better team statistically, 3 pts might be too much for a north texas team that should be favorites.

What do you think SBR?

I went 6 for 7 yesterday, check the play of the day forums, hopefully this continues!

No value in the ML for North Texas. They might cover the 3, but they are an average team on the road. 3-3 in conference and two of those wins are against bottom feeders La-Monroe and Fla Intl. On the other hand, UALR is 5-1 at home. These two teams are about equal but I would give the edge to the home team.

GB is not a much better team. Again, they have only won one game in conference on the road, against Wright St. Loyola is "peaking", going 2-2 their last 4 and actually playing competitive ball. GB is not a lock by any stretch. I always hate picking road favorites of 1-3 points, and I was burned last night by UCF and USM losing straight up at Rice/UTEP.

A few other plays I was looking at lost ATS too, George Mason and Temple. Just be careful.

Yea, I'm not sure if I want to bet on the team that is 1-12 on the road this year (GB), despite them playing better as of late, winning 4 of 5. This has EPIC FAIL written all over it with the public on GB. I too was burned on Temple last night.
