Angola vs USA(-40.5) tues 8am

[treece]

I figured with Germany beating Angola by about 30 they'd be around a 48 point dog to the US. How did Angola qualify for this thing again?

African champs.

Angola always beats the African teams that have NBA players and college guys even though they don't, they were extremely solid in 2006, they should give the US more of a game than China

Tallest player of Angola is 6'-7" max. This will cause them problems. Best play is the over in this game.

Now the field is a little thinner(24 teams). But Angola started out 3-0 in that tourney, losses were 10 to Spain, 5 to Germany, and 6 to France.

The size will be a problem. but they shoot mostly threes which the US guards badly, and they at least can run back faster on the D that China, the US sucks on half court offense.

5 dimes has at 43.5, I will look for the 1st half or quarter line for more value though

Wow, when I started this thread like 4 hours ago it was at 40.5 at bookmaker now I look there and sure enough its 43.5. People are slamming the US real hard.

Hammered it at -42.5 for $100

[treece]

Why would the US even bother winning by 40+? I bet Kobe could beat the Angolan team by himself with one hand tied behind his back.
