This is huge, especially against Virginia where rebounds will be so valuable. Cards will be playing their 2nd road game in 3 days, and will have 6 or maybe 7 playable guys tonight.

Virginia -6 vs. Louisville

I was on the fence when the spread was 4 or 5.... But the compounded effect of these two guys being out is worth at least 7 or 8 points to me. Could justify the line being 12 easily. Saturday-Monday road games are always so tough, and UVA at home after a road loss... Situation favors cavs, UL injuries/suspensions solidify it.

Ya I hear you. This is a revenge game for Louisville too. Already lost once to VA. But those guys missing will be major. I'll probably hope for some crazy action 1st half and hope to take VA 2nd half.

Kansas -3 @ Kansas State

**unde0087** · 02-06-17, 02:50 PM

That Virginia line shot up, shit yesterday afternoon before Superbowl it went to 3 and now it is at 7. unreal

**krk1030** · 02-06-17, 02:57 PM

reverse line movement in kansas game makes me nervous now.

Suspensions came today. To me a college team losing 2 of their 3 best healthy guys is worth more than 4 points. If they want to play more than 7 players they will be using walk ons.

What RLM? I see -3 everywhere except pinny (-2.5) and bovada (-4).

Only news is that Carlton Bragg will be reinstated from suspension, meaning kansas gets depth at forward position and more scoring down low.

I've been looking at this a lot lately and trying to figure out its true worth

**krk1030** · 02-06-17, 07:36 PM

This was great. Exactly what I was hoping for. Hammering the 2nd half Virginia.

Guess it didn't matter but this was an easy win!

consider Louisville has been blown away by VA the last 3 games I didn't expect this especially with 4 key players out. They are competing!

**DOM_Toretto** · 02-06-17, 11:13 PM

BRUTAL k-state tip-in with 0.4 seconds left forcing the push instead of covering.

Ya, I had k state +4 so i got lucky as hell. I'll take it.

Virginia game was an easy one.

**krk1030** · 02-06-17, 11:44 PM

glad i had -2.5...but you had the right side once again, should have been 2-0 night.

**DOM_Toretto** · 02-07-17, 08:37 AM

12-2-1 start to February, let's stay hot!!

**jjgold** · 02-07-17, 08:46 AM

I will say this year you have managed to be on almost all the games where there were bad beats. Even with that you are still up. If you had been on the other side of those you would be killing. Last night again. A tip in with .4 seconds stole a win from you, but at least you pushed. I would think you are due some serious luck moving forward.

**DOM_Toretto** · 02-07-17, 02:15 PM

Syracuse +5 @ Clemson
Dayton -15.5 vs. Saint Joe's
Michigan State +5 @ Michigan

**DOM_Toretto** · 02-07-17, 07:09 PM

Mississippi State +5 @ Auburn

Tum tum is terrible, just dribbles aggressively until the shot clock is under 10 then panicks.

Meanwhile, spartans are getting fukking hammered yet only 2 fouls called against UofM. So dumb.

**krk1030** · 02-07-17, 09:41 PM

tripping? really?

**DOM_Toretto** · 02-07-17, 09:42 PM

Wow now a bullshit tech on Ward for simply walking back to his bench. Tripping. I blame Grayson Allen for that bullshit call.

**krk1030** · 02-07-17, 09:46 PM

michigan just having the half of their season.

**kj8210** · 02-08-17, 10:55 AM

DOM any thoughts on NC State +14 today? Really like them to cover in this spot.

Haven't dug into it but initial lean would be opposite, I could see noles winning by 20-something...

I guess the best way to look at it is...................................... .....really simple.......the " smart money " is not always smart. About 2 years ago I went back and forth with a poster,who knew his stuff,did the homework,ect. And was adamant about RLM.....After a while he came around and realized that RLM, meant little. But everyone has their way of looking at things,the bottom line is....whatever works for you is A OK !!...................................... ....................................BOL

**DOM_Toretto** · 02-08-17, 04:01 PM

I only pay attention to RLM in NFL.... Maybe glance at it during March Madness but that's it.

Whatever works as long as it works. And working in this case means winning. Smart money isn't always right. I know books got killed in nfl this year. Between teasers and picking favorites. They both cashed at an alarming rate. Anyway like you said. Find a system that works and ride it.

You like my Vols to bounce back from that huge 2nd half let down against Miss St? They've come out hot in the 1st half since before the Kentucky game. This team is young and only going to get better. Most Vol fans only care about football but I love our basketball program just as much.
