Boys,
Well I personally did not play anything, for
capping completely shitty games I did pretty well...2-2. I hope that if you
played any games you made money. I really think that tomorrow is the day to
make some money, but I also think that a lot of games are games you truly truly
have to watch out for... my picks will be in no particular order as far as time
goes.. just covering plays I will bet and plays I really like.
On the slate you have so many ranked teams
playing and quite a few spreads that's truly boggle my mind a little so here we
go...
Butler @ Ohio State Ohio State
has really surprised a lot of teams this year as well as bettors. Butler is
doing better than expected this year and winning clutch games they should win,
surprisingly they have really played well on the road. Both teams come into
this contest undefeated.. HOWEVER this is by far Butler's toughest game so
far..Both teams average around 66-69pts a game and hold opponents to low 50's.
Butler must make 3's in this game to stay in the game and cannot let the crowd
get into it. Mack, Howard and Hayward are the keys... if they stay out of foul
trouble they can cover this spread. Ohio State will blow this game out if the
crowd gets into it and they stop the perimeter shooting.
Pick: Butler +8 (I would wait on this
spread until tomorrow morning, I predict people hammer Ohio state and it gets to
+10) (250.00)
Tennessee @ Temple So this is a
line that I truly do not understand. Tennessee has played the tougher teams
(obviously) Temple's best opponent has been Clemson (loss by 4). Tennessee
puts up an insane number of points and obviously are averaging darn close to 90
ppg. Temple relies on defense and Dionte Christmas to keep them in games. I
look for TN to light up the nets and show the nation why they are a top 10
team. Temple's only hope is get the crowd into it.. play great D and stop
perimeter shooting. If Chism gets into foul trouble early that could also be
some concern but I like the vols.
Pick: Tennessee -6 (Line will likely go
up..I would not take over -8) (450.00)
Virginia CommonWealth @ Richmond This game is a headscratcher to most people and most bettors would
probably choose to stay away from this game. I personally like this game for
the simple fact that while Richmond has played well and VCU has just done what
it takes to beat opponents I think Maynor really goes off in this game. The
obvious keys in this game for Richmond... shut down Maynor. If they
successfully do that and guard the perimeter VCU does not cover. I like this
team because I like to go where the talent is. VCU has played the slightly
tougher schedule and wins when they need to win... while this is not a huge play
I think it's worth putting some money on it.
Pick: VCU -4 (True gamblers play)
(150.00)
Umass @ Kansas Let me first
say... UMASS IS SHIT. They have yet to win on the road, they have been blown
out by better teams and frankly they crumble on the road so badly they lost to
Toledo (which is really really bad) I normally do not like to bet games with
insane spreads. HOWEVER, this matchup is so severely one sided and favorable
for Kansas that I think the automatic play is KU.. I think they can cover
22-24.... so with the spread being 18 its a gift. Kansas is a tough place to
play and there is no chance that UMASS stops KU. The only thing that prevents
KU from covering is KU.
Pick: Kansas -18 (play as high as 21 or 22
in my opinion) (250.00)
Memphis @ Georgetown This is a
hell of a game to cap. I think that Memphis gets the edge for playing a
stronger schedule so far but I think GU at home will be such an amazingly tough
environment for Memphis. Stats are very similar, both teams have blown out the
teams they are supposed to blow out. Evans, Dozier and Taggart have to go off
for Memphis to win this game. Summers is a hell of a player on GU's side... the
key in this game will come down to Memphis not getting cold like in the Xaiver
game. Memphis shot painfully bad and got behind the 8ball too quickly. GU
feeds off of defense and pts in the paint.... Tough game... but I like Memphis
+pts
Pick: Memphis +5.5 (really would like to
see this get to +6.5 or +7) (250.00)
West Virginia @ Duquesne Ok,
let's face the facts... WVU is the better team. WVU has won the games they were
supposed to win, they have stayed close and have not given up when they faced
large deficit's the only thing that really truly will make a difference is Free
Throw shooting. For the love of god...WVU has talent but cannot shoot FT's....
that is a big enemy for larger spreads... but flat out I like WVU.
Pick: West Virginia -7 (150.00) .... DO
NOT play this much higher than 7.
Xaiver @ Cincinatti Skip this
game if you don't want action. I really think Xaiver is for real and this is a
true chance to prove it. Raymond and Brown have been rockstars and they get a
true test against Cincinatti on the road. This is truly a tough game to cap
because Xaiver really has yet to face an extremely hostile environment.
Xaiver has played tougher teams, and I truly believe they have more talent... if
this team can survive the hostile confines I look for them to win and cover.
Cincy has to rely on defense, if they allow Raymond and Brown to get off they
are screwed... I again choose to go with the talent.
Pick: Xaiver -2 (300.00) Watch this
spread close... I think that some serious movement could happen in either
direction.
************TRUE RISK
TAKERS***********
Oral Roberts +35.5. Will Carolina
win.. yes. Do they win by double digits... yes. Will they win by more than
36... I truly don't know.. that is a large ass spread.. I will take a small play
with the pts... 100 or so.
Summary: a TON of action today..
I like a few more games but waiting to see what the lines do.. catch me in chat
if you need some opinions. I do not expect to go undefeated but I would love to
think that I will have a winning day.. however I have been luke warm as of
late. Only play what you feel is worth playing... I am a gambler and i think
that this is a winning card overall... but who knows. Watch for injuries as
well.. I bet so many games it is hard for me to keep track and it sometimes
slips past my plays.
**************************DISCLAIMER************************
This is a lot of money. BET WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO
LOSE. I do not promise or gurantee any winners, my insight and system is
basically a giant opinion. You truly never know when teams just roll over and
die. WATCH THE LINES. With so many games, you can expect a ton of
movement.
Good Luck,
