Howard vs North Carolina A&T

[TheeArchBishop]

Gentlemen:

Nice juicy 1:30 PM matchup here.

NC A&T -3 favorites against Howard

Here is my research:

* Game is being played in North Carolina, so basically a home game for A&T
* A&T is 4-5 at home and Howard (located in Washington D.C. for those that didn't know - I didn't and looked it up!) are 3-14 on the raod.
* NC A&T beat Howard (in D.C.) on 1/14 by a score of 70-65
* NC A&T has an RPI of 278 and strength of schedule rating of 285
* Howard has an RPI of 291 and strength of schedule rating of 264
* NC A&T ranked 112th in nation in scoring and Howard ranked 304th
* NC A&T ranked 70th in nation in rebounding and Howard ranked 144th
* NC A&T ranked 160th in nation in assists and Howard ranked 340th
* NC A&T ranked 235th in nation in FG% and Howard ranked 337th
* NC A&T defense is not good at all however Howard can't score, so that is probably why the spread is as low as it it. The spread actually dropped from -4 to -3 with A&T favored.

Given all of the above, I'm on NC A&T -3. Let's do thisssssss

I think I stopped taking this bet seriously when I read the first bulletin point... I looked at a live link and there are like 15 fans in the stands in Wilmington... not really a home game advantage when no one is watching.

LMAO come on man! A home game is a home game, besides....22 mins until game time - plenty of time to fill those bleachers!

[Bullet Kays]

Howard is the right play man but good luck

I've seen A&T play and they are pretty bad lol. I don't know if i'd take them @ -3.5 in any game. Still debating if i'll take them on the ML @ -160 though.

[TheeArchBishop]

We shall see.......

[Bullet Kays]

Howard has played better teams, a&t hasn't beaten anyone. 75% of public is on A&T and the line moves a full point in Howard's favor? I'm on Howard but should be a garbage game either way

I don't know man. The RPI & strength of schedule don't coincide with your comment. Agree about being a garbage game. I am at work and going to watch this game from my cube as I "work", so we shall see. I respect you and your opinions - I have seen you post some comments here and there during the season. BOL.

Just won with Hampton +2.5 and I'm putting those winnings right on Howard +3.5.

BOL!

[Bullet Kays]

Likewise man, just a small wager but just my insights but good luck to you. You on anything in the pitt/stj game?

I'm leaning on Pitt/under.

[TheeArchBishop]

Stayin away from Pitt/St Johns. St Johns abviously a home game for them but Pitt the more experienced team and "should" win. I think St' Johns can backdoor cover, but overall - why play this game when we can play NC A&T!! lol

[Frisco]

A&T looking like they will be lucky to win this game, let alone cover. Glad i stayed away from them on ML.

[TheeArchBishop]

So much for NC A&T home court advantage! Pickwinnerallday was right,,,nobody is there! There are more NC A&T BANDMEMBERS than FANS FFS! What a shi*show

would you show up to watch this game?!? only degen betters are tuning in lol

[TheeArchBishop]

hey, Yes - I'd show up! They have a chance at making the dance! Besides, I'd be able to sit courtside! what what...

[venture]

Up 5 at half! one reason I liked NC was that howards leading scorer shoots 29%

[TheeArchBishop]

Yeah but I learned AFTER I BET on NC, that one of their top players is OUT - Nic Simpson. ARGH

[Bullet Kays]

Was a close game nonetheless. I was leaning Howard and then saw the world was on a&t..I'm in Vegas now and as soon as the line jumped that point I had to play Howard. Tough one though man

[Ambition]

Glad I was on Howard in this one. 2-0 for today with both underdogs cashing, anyone liking Maryland Eastern Shore +9.5 in 20 mins!?

[TheeArchBishop]

ARGH. I didn't realize one of NC A&T's better players was OUT. It wasn't indicated anywhere...that to me, was the difference her and perhaps why the line dropped. Oh well, on to the 4PM MEAC game wooo

[Bullet Kays]

Haven't looked much into mes..did you cap it? I've got some solid plays a little later today
