Coming off that heartbreaker vs Ball St, the Bulls are gonna have to take out that anger on someone. Who better then the CHippewas who are winless ATS in their las 6 road games. Laying 12.5 isn't bad @ all IMO, but i feel that we'd be getting much better value in the 1H. Bulls will be out for blood. a far superior team, fresh off a loss, returning home. vs horrible road team /w nothing to play for. Perfect combo for a great 1H performance IMO.
*** If 1H line moves beyond -8... not sure if we'd still have value. although i have Bulls up by DD @ half. They're not gonna let up.
So.ILL @ 1H Witchita St -9 Shockers @ home outscore opp. by 10 in the 1H.
Shocker's Dudley is going to have a field day w/ Salukis starting C suspended. Would definately be better than laying 17 for the game. Not sure there would be much off a game left after halftime. 1H up to DD won't be a problem for the Shockers to cover /w So.ILL 2 starters being suspended.
GMU is 5-1 ATS vs Conf on the road
+.5 Assist/turnover better then NCWIL
more possessions = more points
H2H GMU is 5-1 ATS L6 games
Avg score L10 GMU 64.7 - 53.8 UNWIL
1H Avg. 32.2 -23 GMU
Earlier this season, GMU handed UNWIL a whoopin outscoring them 46-25 in the 1H. Yes that included 7 of 11 from downtown.
This time around, i don't think there will be much of a difference, well maybe in the final score... but still see GMU up quite a bit @ the half. Seahawks are letting opp. hit 35% from downtown and with the way GMU has been playing lately, outscoring opp. by an avg. of 20pts in L5 games. which includes a 36.4-27 1H edge. Patriots have just been on fire as of late. I don't like laying the -9.5 for the game, in case of backdoor covers. I am extremely confident that GMU will take care of business in the 1H. They aren't looking forward, cause JMU isn't for another 4 days.
