What's the catch with Wyoming? Everybody seems to be on them, they appear to have the significantly better team...and yet the line's been moving slightly in UNLV's favor.

Wyoming is 3-25 all-time against UNLV and 2-21 at the Thomas & Mack Center. Wyoming hasn’t won a game at UNLV since 2003, going 0-15 since.

Maybe this is why...

Yeah they play good pressure defense too which will catch some teams off guard, and have some of the best shot blockers down low in the country outside of maybe Oregon, Baylor, UCLA, Kentucky

Yes 2 other things I noticed. Pressure D is great. Plus the guards are quick so they do a good job of staying in front of the offensive player and giving the shot blockers ideal block situations.

Great call on penn state. Wasn't going to touch it but you pushed me in. Thanks!

You da man Dom!

Thanks ready! I don't believe Rutgers should be a favorite today or in any game the rest of the season.

Happy 2017!

Thanks Sonny! Was hoping for that perfect 5-0 start to 2017 but I guess 4-1 ain't bad!

Rough day. Had a 1-basket loss, 2-basket loss, and 1-basket cover. Tomorrow will be better.

Manhattan was trash. They were down all game then finally get up by 4 with 3 min left then gave that right back. In the end you won't win any game shooting like 4 for 29 from 3 or whatever it was...

**readytowinem** · 01-02-17, 10:38 PM

Tomorrow is a new day...

Liking what I see.

On a side note. WVU is down to 2/2.5...no value there? I really like their D. Texas Tech is a good team, but hasn't beat anyone worth talking about yet.

Thoughts?

Meh, idk. Not the best spot for west va... They had to rally in the last seconds to win at TTU last season. Tex Tech was up big on Iowa state too before cyclones rallied back the other day. I can't bet against WVU here though, so I'm just staying away.

I tailed on NC and I dunno...got pissed at first but a push in that game seems fair. NC was sloppy as hell.

**Sonny Burnett** · 01-03-17, 09:23 PM

glad I saw your picks post a bit later so I took tar heels -2.5 +100, but I did think of you when he buried that 3pt wit no time left... thats NCAAB, they fight till the end

lines are so sharp, we are always on 50-50 games, we could have won what we lost and lost what we won.

**Sonny Burnett** · 01-03-17, 09:26 PM

now I missed that texas tech... and they are the only team that started good for us... haha

Agreed, was the most worthless 3pt shot ever!

**Earlerock** · 01-03-17, 10:29 PM

Damn, loved TT all day and was just waiting for you or Ayo to take it... then missed it once you did.

**Sonny Burnett** · 01-03-17, 11:34 PM

wow... we should bet on - there will be a OT in a game... that pays like +800 in NBA when the games are close

**readytowinem** · 01-03-17, 11:59 PM

Damn nice win. If WVU could make a ft that game was over. Oh well.
