early game thoughts Indiana and clemson

[Chi_archie]

seems like clemson should kill UVA..... clem -8? am I missing somthing


Indiana +10 this game looks good for IU in this spot at home, should be a slower paced game... I think IU +6 for the first half is a REAL solid bet.... I don't like to put money on bad teams

but illinois is horrible on the road and IU has kept the games pretty close at home, and even winning outright against Iowa...

what do you guys think>

Take the under in both games. Why worry about covering huge spreads on the road?

[Chi_archie]

looking at the under in IU....

-8 is not a huge spread... and Indiana is home

[pavyracer]

Archie,

It is hard to cover spreads more than -8 on the road because teams don't foul after 7 point differential, especially home teams.

I am not a big college basketball capper, but I have crunched some numbers and the "Ghost In The Machine" says take the UNDER 122.

BetJam has Illinois +10 now FYI.

I like Clemson has well, Archie

[jaymac82980]

clemson now -9.

Indiana would be a good bet with the points if DUmes is playing. not yet release by the coach though, so if you bet that game, your going into it gambling even more on whether he plays. DOUBLE BET!

Hey guys! Reading your post archie, and I agree with you in regard to indiana first half..Im actually thinking about playing them myself..good luck!

[t-bone]

Indiana +6 1st Half is a solid play as these teams play at a snails pace. Under 122 is a good play as well

[seaborneq]

Take the home dogs and parlay them. Trust me. I did.

[PittChicGambles]

Hey tbone babe...good morning to ya..have you hit our thread yet? You locking in Indiana first half?

[Godzilla]

Illinois hasnt beaten anyone on the road by more than 6 points all year

[iladelcat]

Clemson's full court press is going to be tough for Virginia to handle the whole game....im loving Clemson in this one..

[Chi_archie]

Illinois hasnt beaten anyone on the road by more than 6 points all year

Illinois has hardly beaten anyone on the road period...


Pavy are you kidding me? teams foul after 7 points all the time....it makes no sense but they do, heck I remember losing a teaser because Harangody fouled intentionally against louisville when down by 14 or somthing..... with 7 secs left..

[PittChicGambles]

Hey archie, cutie, what are you putting on Indiana first half if you dont mind me asking?

[james4512]

clemson wins by 25 idk how you cant like this?

[PerfecTrader]

damn, I feel like a red headed step child during leap year. Indiana lost by 5 at home to Lipscomb. My choice was easy I just wish I didn't feel so alone lmao

[803] ILLINOIS -8½-130 (B+1)
[805] CLEMSON -7½-140 (B+1½)

[Chi_archie]

well I was wrong as can be when I checked on at haltime on these scores......

should have gone with my first instinct that the clemson -8 line seemed a little tooooo juicy and somthing might have been up....

oh well, looking at my non "chase" plays for later...

it is still early, not watching either of the games, but IU and UVA are both covering for me. however, the sleptrock effect still has a chance to blow them both.

[Chi_archie]

what is the sleptrock effect?

yeah just checked again, and wow Indiana has staged a comeback... might be too much time for them to sustain it without Illinois pulling away again though

[seaborneq]

Have you ever seen the Flintstones or Flintstone kids? There is a character on there that is so much bad luck that when he comes around buildings literally crumble and fall down.

[Chi_archie]

unreal Indiana 11-24 on free throws?????? as a team they are worse then shaq.... I could hit 11-24 with my left hand... c'mon

[seaborneq]

sleptrock effect bites me again.

[R3Sports]

Congrats Illinois backers!
