Today's Picks

St. Peters +5.5.  These teams are pretty evenly matched, even though they play different styles of ball.  St. Peter's finished last year with the best adjusted FG% defense in the country and hopefully they frustrate The Beach into another poor shooting night.   For what it's worth, these teams return a total of nine starters between them and the line last year would have been about LBST -1 or -2 on a neutral court.  Easy game to handicap from a statistical point of view and an easy call for me to take the points.

Rhode Island -20.5.   I would like to see someone, somewhere make a case for Toledo when they are getting less than 25 points from any semi-legit D1 team.  I will bet against them every time without thinking twice and just take my lumps when I Iose.  This team is that bad.

Wisconsin  +5.  UNLV doesn't have the same three point shooting ability that they had last year and it's very likely they really struggle to get anything against the Badger D.   If they don't drop a few bombs it's going to be a long night.  I could also see losing this one big, but I feel pretty good about it.

Still looking at the Missouri - No. Florida game.  North Florida's average margin of loss against the five D1 ranked opponents they have played is 41 points.  I just can't figure out if Missouri is any good.  Too many personnel changes.

Good Luck. 

Have no problem with anyone taking UNLV Purdue.  Just think that their lack defensive rebounding (Wisconsin's strength) and the loss of some shooting makes it a good play. 

Wisconsin did get bombed about this time last year when they came west.  Gonzaga beat them like a drum in Maui. 

Good luck.

Daddy Large,   I must remember your game and then I'll remember your fucking name.

I'm just rambling thru the forum while watching my Wisc. (and yours) bet win.  Need a K. ST. win and then I promised myself a big fun bet on a late basketball game.

Like your picks. I have St. Peter +6 locked  and Wisc. is just wrapping up the win and cover for us so I think the R.I. play may be worth a Ben. Let's see about that. Like your attitude.

GL,    Doc

pecador the fucking wiscy game hasnt even started yet you dumbass.lets  on it you prick.

Thanks dude, though 2-2 wasn't what I was looking for yesterday.  Rhode Island was sleeping the whole second half.  Add them to my list of teams I just will not bet this year.

No opinion on the NFL play, I just dabble in the NFL and I don't really handicap it.  My NFL connection seems to think BUF +5 is the play.  The only team Cin has beaten by more than that all year was CAR, one of the worst teams the NFL has seen in awhile.  Cincy could be on quit and Buf isn't all that bad. 

Good luck with the eagles.
