Do you have a favorite?

My advice, if you followed, would be to play them all the same, but I do always make 1 of the plays my top play.

Today that's VMI/Radford Over

I will never make an under the top play, because technically you can be correct in analysis but wrong in outcome should a game go to overtime. So I will always make an over as my top play

I took the under in the VMI game, and will probably get burned. I have under 149.5.

Curious on Radford /WMI. First game was only at 137 with 50 seconds left and they scored 19 points in a minute and the 2nd game was well under. Why does everyone seem to be on the over. What am I missing?

Another reason i took the under, but VMI has no interest in playing defense. Radford is a slow paced team, and not good on offense. You would think with what is on the line that Radford would try their darnest to slow this game to a halt.

The main reason I am going with the over is I believe there is a lot of value in an over if you can get a VMI total below 155 points. True, Radford likes to pace the game very slow, but because VMI is at home, I believe they will be able to dictate the pace more to their liking. And with this being a lose-and-go-home, if Radford falls behind early the players will say fck it and start to play the VMI way. I used the same philosophy with Iona/St Peters over yesterday -- getting an Iona total below 145 is great value and they were at home, more likely to dictate their pace.

All this being said, it may blow up in my face and go under, but I don't claim to be a pro, just an amateur that has been pretty good at the mid-majors. Like anything else, no guarantees, but consider that might write-up LOL
