Nice work TP

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the lines

Many of yours look to be spot on

[DOM_Toretto]

What do you think about FGCU @ Florida?

Gators supposed to be very much improved this year...

[TPowell]

What do you think about FGCU @ Florida?

Gators supposed to be very much improved this year...

They'll be improved by a decent bit for sure. Keep in mind they'll be playing home games during the first semester in a different arena because they're doing renovations to their normal home arena

[TPowell]

You'll notice a lot of games missing on my list and I'll tell you why. I don't waste my time on coming up with numbers for teams in conferences like the Atlantic Sun, SWAC, America East, etc because they play in conferences that don't have lined games. Think the only other conferences like that are MEAC, Northeast, Patriot, Big South, and Southland

[BIGDAY]

One of the more profitable sports for me.

Can't wait.

[xdodger19]

what do your numbers represent?

some score predictions

James Madison 74 - ODU 77

San Diego 57 SDSU 72

Idaho St 71 New Mexico 72

Indiana St 65 - N Illinois 72

South Dakota St 70 - California 80

[xdodger19]

Ok they are projected lines, odu -3 agreed
cal -10 to -12 sounds about right

[TPowell]

NM by only 1 vs Idaho State.....?

[jjgold]

too early

no idea how these teams are

[xdodger19]

Saw oklahoma st play exhibition vs pitt st
They looked well coached, they used the full court press like the whole game,
they don't look like they have stand out top players, but look solid and have good game plan
Prediction
OK st 91 Campbell 64

[jjgold]

men go slow

so many sports to bet

[readytowinem]

[TPowell]

weak Saturday card

St Joes -5

George Mason -1

UC Santa Barbara -7

Cleveland State -2

Akron -10

Santa Clara -8

LSU -12.5

Tennessee State -5.5

Davidson -19

Butler -27.5

[Mparty]

slow and easy

[TPowell]

UNLV opened at 8 but down to 6.5 now

I want a shot at these soft lines!

[TPowell]

Wow, ton of direct hits from my lines and BOL openers

[deuceswild]

Santa Clara -8. Returning 100 percent of scoring. Take them early why you can. Overs in IUPUI games.

[deuceswild]

Oakland line opened at 4 already at 10. Still like over 131

[JohnD25]

Santa Clara -8. Returning 100 percent of scoring. Take them early why you can. Overs in IUPUI games.

Oakland line opened at 4 already at 10. Still like over 131

Where are you getting these lines at? My bookies hasn't released them however my reference for now is here.

http://www.sportsbookreview.com/betting-odds/ncaa-basketball/

Oakland opened as 11 1/2 favs, and lines is down to 10.

Santa Clara line opened at 13 1/2, and remains there.

[Louisvillekid1]

Bowling green plays one of the slowest paces in the country , would be my only concern.

131 is an under line as well, books know about Oak Overs

gl buddy

I like clemson, Fordham, St. Louis, & drake

[jjgold]

KId with sharp ANGLES already

[TPowell]

KId with sharp ANGLES already

yep the one about BG being slow is a real good one. Played LITERALLY .1 above the average D1 team tempo wise last year

[Louisvillekid1]

Gl this year Powell

[deuceswild]

VegasInsider.Com these are guesses and VI concensus. I'm in line at the Westgate right now. Oakland will speed them up in their cage (70%) Over rate at home with 63 percent of scoring coming back.

[deuceswild]

Love Fordham w ya.

[xdodger19]

James Madison +6

[TPowell]

Whoever is on Santa Clara, I hope you know the star PG-Feagin is out and starting big man Hubbard is questionable

[funnyb25]

Pass...

Count me in 3rd week

[xdodger19]

my guess would be Like IUPUI 75 E Kentucky 79 around 154 points and total is at 157.5
this is a huge total,

[TPowell]

On IUPUI at +3

[xdodger19]

In nba tracking over first 2 weeks, can see the books getting sharper on the sides,
but having bigger error margins with the totals,
predicting the same in college basketball for a few weeks

The edges look bigger on the totals,

[DOM_Toretto]

In general I would lean overs in college basketball this season. Scoring should be up a few points on average.
