Line seems a bit fishy to me. Opened at a pick now it is at Zags +1 with the public in favor of the Zags. Gonna watch this line carefully, feels like a trap to take the Zags. Just feel like the Zags are the better team....

Zags just played in alaska. Now travel all the way to philly. Not a whole lot of depth. St joe will beat em on boards and control the tempo with their size.

As Nancy Carrigan says, "why, why, why, ".
Any guru on the Zags shed some light? Mismatch IMHO.
Zags LOCK AND LOAD!!! ||an_bomb.gif' border=0>||an_cannon.gif' border=0>

With the addition of junior guard Tasheed Carr, the Hawks field a starting five as good as any in the A-10. A transfer from Iowa State and a Philadelphia native, Carr brings fire to a team short on assertiveness. His ability to man the point has allowed Martelli to play sophomore guard Darrin Govens off the ball.
"I think together, they're going to be really a terrific backcourt," Martelli said.
If there is an early knock against the Hawks, it's their depth - or lack of it. With sophomore guard D.J. Rivera sitting out at least until January to focus on academics, St. Joe's has few options among its reserves.
"It's got to be on me to figure out a way to get more out of the bench," Martelli said.
On the other hand, Gonzaga (5-1) employs an eight-man rotation, with each player averaging more than five points a game. Austin Daye, a 6-foot-10 freshman forward, leads the team in scoring (13.8 points per game) and rebounding (5.0), despite playing only 21.2 minutes per game.
"I don't know anything about them," Martelli said Tuesday. "I have not seen one clip of them. I haven't seen a box score."
With the Bulldogs making a rare trip east - they also play at Connecticut on Saturday - an estimated 20 scouts are expected to be on hand tonight.

Here's my thing about this line.
1. If you are a book you job is to minimize risk.
2. No matter what you make this line the public is going to be all over the zags as long as they were favored by less than 3.
3. So how would you get the lines closest to 50/50?
4. My GUESS(emphasis on guess) is that they would make it a pick in order to scare the most people off of the zags as possible or at least thinking about getting off the zags.
IMO this is a wrong team favored line but I'm not touching it.

I am going to the game tonight. St Joe's is legit. They have 3 athletic big men and a solid backcourt. The Fieldhouse is a tough place to play. Don't know much about the Zag's but that line is SCREAMING St. Joe's.

anytime you have an unranked team giving points to a ranked team, you always take the unranked.
