    -1 line.
    Im going to read up on the game. Wanted to know what you all thought.
    Miami's making some noise and would this be a "let down spot?" Home dog facing (maybe) overrated team? NC State any good? You tell me.

    I'll most likely lay the points and take the ML just to root for the Canes wherever we go watch the game at.

    NC State is a top 5 team but their MVP point guard Lorenzo Brown is out with a sprained ankle I think the Canes win. The other problem for State is they usually only play 6 guys so now only have 5, and only 7 scholarship players available tomorrow.

    Brown's is an All-ACC PG, and without him they lost to Virginia.

    I wouldn't play this game.

    nc state will win. They looked pretty damn good this week if you ask me.

    Virginia on the road is a much tougher game than hosting Miami. Good luck fellas

    Did u lose money on that horse? I can call the people I tailed if you want, they said they owe me a winner.

    I took a shot, get off my nuts, numbnuts(thats your name now).

    Let me kno if u want some. Maybe a head up table on bovada or something? That way one of us can pound our chest in real life not on a computer.

    Teddy Covers chimed in on this game in his Saturday's picks blog on ESPN IN.

    Miami Hurricanes at North Carolina State Wolfpack
    Projected point spread: NC State -1.5 to -3.5
    If I were handing out awards at the end of January, Miami head coach Jim Larranaga would be my national coach of the year. The Hurricanes were an NIT team last season and don't have a single player on the roster with Big Dance experience. But with five seniors leading the way, and 6-10, 300-pound center Reggie Johnson back on the court following a monthlong absence with a thumb injury, Miami's 7-0 ACC start is no accident.

    The key to this handicap is defense. NC State is loaded with talented seniors as well and can score in bunches from anywhere on the floor. But the Wolfpack are not an elite-level defensive ballclub. Miami is. When it comes to getting that key late-game stop in what should be a tight, competitive contest, quite simply, I trust the Canes more than the Pack.

    The ATS pick: Take Miami

    NC State is definitely not a top 5 team in the country. Def not without Lorenzo Brown. Id take Miami in this game if I were to play it.

    Agreed. NC St. is paper thin at guard and now have to beat a hot Miami team without their starting PG. I am assuming that the freshman Purvis will have to handle all PG responsibilities and I don't even know who the other guard they will play will be. NC St. will have to slow the tempo down with Brown out and won't be able to get the 15-20 cheap transition points they average each game.

    Because...the home crowd will be electric, Miami barely got by BC as visitors and needed a big 2nd half to beat VT on the road, that's why...

    Love Miami this year, interesting team to watch. Their dominance of the ACC is also helping Arizona's numbers considerably.

    That said, it's NC State or nothing for me.

    They beat VT by 9.. they won both of those games I don't see how that proves that they'll have trouble against a short handed team?

    Thanks everyone for their input. I'm sure there are better games to wager on , but I'm learning and keeping it local for now. More access to info down here and it's as good a place to start as any.

    Just left the local , I guess he uses bookmaker cause he only had -1.5 for me. Just $70 bucks. Hope I dont lose by the hook.

    Good luck.

    MIA has won 8 straight and honestly I don't think playing away bothers them that much if anything they feed off the underdog mentality nothing like making an entire gym fall silent

    It'll be a good game NC State just hasn't really impressed me that much

    Is Miami trying to lose this game?

    It's like they're allergic to the lead.
