ANGOLA +42 -110
USA -42-110

Will the US men win by more than 42?

That would not be very sportsmen like would it?

yes they will! PLEASE TAKE IT

Please take what?

I'd only ever consider taking that many points, never would I lay that many.

I'd only ever consider taking that many points, never would I lay that many.

Why? This is a pretty dumb betting philosophy.

[Illusion]

Coach K has been known to run up the score every now and then. I would consider laying the points.

I think Team USA will take it easy on Angola because they're from africa.

interesting angle... ....

Hmm. I don't know about the running up the score theory. I mean, who are they putting out there from their third team? Michael Redd and Tayshaun Prince? Not a huge letdown, talent-wise. These guys can score too. It's not like they're going to intentionally be throwing up airballs. Angola is a team that doesn't have a guy on the roster taller than 6' 8". They also lost to Germany by 29 points. I think the U.S. will cover this one...

lol @ ppl laying 33 pts vs china and losing

coming now to lay 50 points to lose again??

[MonkeyF0cker]

I had China in the last game, but I like the US in this one...

[max_asdf]

45 pts is a lot...................

110- 65 still a push

[MonkeyF0cker]

Not when the line was 42... (It's 43 now).

[max_asdf]

i think the bet is wheter or not angola scores 60pts

Do you really think they can score 65 or more? I don't and I'm looking at something around 100/105 to 50/55 and that's if the US squad slows it down. This game could get ass ugly by half-time.

[MonkeyF0cker]

Well they scored 66 against Germany and still lost by 29. The US played some solid defense against China and again, Angola has no players over 6' 8". I don't know if they'll score 50.

If they beat China and Ming by 31, the redeem team should be good by at least 42 over Angola. Took China last time, but this game, I'm all over the USA to cover.
