bama a really strange choice as a partner dont you think? id rather get me a strong fav down around -2 or a dog i like up into the 7 range.. it your bbq homie and im certainly not trying to tell ya how to do it, just making bama 3 doesnt feel like it providing much insurance in a coinflip type gm imo... hope it doesnt matter and bama blows them out.. gl

ive been searching for a partner for msu ml too bama seemed too closeComment -
fair enough. im certainly not any more of a expert than you or anyone else. there plenty of ways to skin a cat and all that, it just seems like a really really odd gm to tease for me. i be more likely to bet it straight if i liked and find something where i felt the points could be more useful. ultimately tho it not like i know what i picked would be more valuable it would just be how it felt to me, nothing more percentage wise probably.. gl buddyComment -
I agree strange spot to teaseComment -
i just saw that mich took msu to ot then lost. this might be a tough gameComment -
Lol yes they did. Once MSU turnt up in OT they won that period 10-0. Like I said before, the Egyptian and the little Spike can't be expected to make at that clip like they did. Flip side, trice was in a slump. Idk what umich is playing for other than to spoil a game vs their rivals. MSU is riding high and may turn that OSU win into just the run we need heading into March. MSU out rebounded Mich by 15 or more that game and went to the FT line 20+ times which is a TON for MSU (especially against a UM team which hadn't fouled much at all this year).
In all I just think it's a great matchup at the perfect time for MSU.Comment -
i remember how bad mich played vs iowa when they were home, no quick reflexes at all for the rebounds. they got behind real quick and died by the 3. just a little concerned how they only lost by 3 to indiana in an away game. mich is only good at free throws and they might get some extra calls their way tonight. bol i hope msu destroys themComment -
any thoughts on wyoming shocked line is so lowComment -
What did I say in this board and the other discussion thread?
- Muslim/spike won't hit as much:
Spike went from previous 6/13 with 3/6 from 3, to a mere 3/8 performance. Muhammed-Ali went from 8/14 to 4/6.
- Trice was in a slump and would play better:
Improved from 3/9 w/ 8 pts in first meeting to 6/12, 22 pts last night
- Dawson would have his way again:
10/12, 23 pts & 13 boards. I even took a prop bet of Dawson Over 22.5 combined Points + Rebounds.
- MSU would dominate boards, points in paint, and FTs:
+8 rebounding margin, more than 2x points in paint, but UofM held the FT advantage
- MSU -5 @ UofM:
80-67 MSU win
- Alabama -1 @ Auburn (or Bama +3 in my teaser):
79-68 Alabama win
Guys it's not being cocky, I just want to highlight some results from all the info & predictions I throw out on here.Comment -
Great call! How do you feel about UNC +8.5 @ Duke? That's a lot for a big rivalry game.Comment -
I agree, it is a lot for this rivalry game. Although I think Duke is much better than UNC, it's an interesting matchup. If Tar Heels penetrate or dish it to the paint, Okafor is not a great defender. I'm gonna watch the line for now and maybe take UNC 1H at +4.5 or 5 as I think it will be a close first half. If Duke does run away with it I think it would happen later in the game.Comment -
I put duke and UNI in a ml parlay 1000/560
I like Oakland but am worried about their shitty def. Good day yesterday i tailed MSU and was opposite on the otherComment -
thinking of parlaying duke/cmu/UNI ML with anything i likeComment -
Xavier +2 @ Cincinatti
Xavier is the much better shooting team with shaky defense. Cincy great defense and atrocious offense. I see this as a benefit for X. Even tho X's defense is bad, cincy will still struggle to score. Cincy D may limit X's offense but when it comes down to it they can make open shots while the Bearcats can't. Octavious Ellis will likely draw fouls but he's an awful FT shooter, and although cincy usually doesn't foul much at all, this crosstown rivalry game always gets chippy, strengthening Xavier's FT% advantage. I don't put too much stock into last season's game since both teams' stars have moved on (only performances with mentioning are UC's Shaq Thomas had a good shooting night and X's Painter had 11 boards), but last season X had 20 turnovers and still won easily by 17. X does a much better job moving the ball around now and their A/TO proves that.Comment -
I didn't cap game at all but looking through the lines a little while ago my original intuition was Cinci at home even this X is the better team. Good luck DomComment -
UNC +4.5 1H @ Duke
Just think Tokoto,Johnson and Meeks can score down low on Okafor. Flip side they may be able to give him more trouble than he's used to. Paige should come out hot. Idc how much further Duke can go in the tourney than UNC, this is the best rivalry in all of sports. This should be a close first half, then who knows if Duke can pull away later in the second.
I also doubled down on Xavier +3.Last edited by DOM_Toretto; 02-18-15, 05:59 PM.Comment -
just wanted to bow down for yesterdays great info thanks
Comment -
double down means 2 units instead of the normal 1?Comment -
Seen a bunch of touts on X. I'm worried for you on this one but I know you know what your doing. Again. Good luck!
I like Wisconsin and Iowa state possibly. Any reads on those? Possibly northwestern. What u think?Comment -
Xavier should be a 1x play since they away imoComment -
Ya I hear ya there. I mean Iowa state did go into WV and win a great battle. Elsewhere they looked like shiit. I'm not to keen on okla st but I know it should be an athletic type game. I told myself earlier in the year whenever I can get Iowa st as a dog highly consider a strong play. Ima see how my early games play out before I decide if I drop the hammer down.
Niang needs to start playing like the player he is. Been weak sauce latelyComment -
dom are u taking iowa st? seems like the right play hereComment -
It's a very worrisome propositionComment -
I think Az state is best play on board right nowComment -
ucla has been playing too well latelyComment -
Nice hold in that Xavier game! Glad I followed along and doubled downComment
