I had a very lengthy write up two separate times but both times did not post so I am a little frustrated. If I have time I will be back but bottom line is that line on yet listed and I would put it at...
SDSU -13.5 and total (if any listed but I doubt it) of 145
I would lean under 145 or North Dakota +14 or so. BOL!
Line is now SDSU -18.5 and I see that only BetOnline has a line on the total of 136. Interesting really as that is nearly 10 points less than I put it at so linemakers definately think that this will be a low scoring game (by Jacks standards). I personally can never play an under this low in a Jacks game so I will not be playing the total. Trust me is a very unpleasent way of watching a Jacks game just begging that shots rim out as they rarely use the full shot clock. Therefore, no thank you on the total. The team total should be pretty interesting if you can find one. By my calculations it should be SDSU team total of 86.5 and UND team total of 49.5. This is of course assuming that the total is 136 and the spread is 18.5. What is interesting about this is that as I mentioned before the Jacks play an up tempo kind of game while North Dakota plays a slower paced game. That being said, South Dakota State should create a bunch more possessions for North Dakota due to the fact that they leave a lot on the shot clock and shot the ball well that I love the team total over. Add to the fact that since 2006 (well over 100 games during this time period) since South Dakota State employed their offensive sceme they have only held a team under 50 points 3 times for the reason I already indicated. Additionally, North Dakota has only failed to score 50 points or more 4 times in the last three years. I guess I will take my chances with odds like that if I can. Finally, I see Huff has been out now for the last two games and that has not effected them too much. They hung with Hawaii who I think South Dakota State is more like than say Northern Iowa (defensively I referring to) who destroyed the Fighting Sioux.
Therefore, if I can get a line on the team totals I would put 2 units on UND team total over 49.5 for the reasons stated above. If I cannot get that I am still leaning on taking UND +18.5 or hopefully better closer to tip. I will post prior to tip what my play (if anything might be).
That is because alot of members are from Canada or the Dakotas and tend to follow teams closest to our home. I would agree that the line is getting a little crazy and despite how bad UND is I think that is the play too. BOL!
