What you think on the Alabama game? They smashed the other team last night. Right now the line is 1.5 against Wichita State. This should be easy money. Am I overlooking something? What do you think?

Thanks again for the kind words. This is what I told posted in the the thread of the guy who asked, why is Alabama -1.5? Am missing something?

 

We just watched Alabama beat North Florida, Oakland & Maryland. Both Oakland & Maryland are not the same teams they were of past years. Not to mention that Bama beat Maryland by the same 20 pt margin that they did too North Florida. I want to see more Bama before I place a wager on them. Fading Maryland yesterday is much different then now betting on Bama as Wichita St can score...BOL

 

Wichita St Shocker or no play for me. I think i'll watch and gather info...

To be honest his units don't matter. Dude is winning!!! If his unit is $10 then he is still up about $500 and counting. Money he don't have going right into his pocket!

Plus he is sharing his info for free. Odds you the man and keep doing what you do. Appreciate everything.

You guys also play a very fast up tempo game if my memory serves correct. Please correct me if i'm wrong. They seem to fly up and down the court. The same can not be said for Drexel...

Odds, thanks for your thouhts on the johnnies. I live in NY and they get a lot of hype. I've seen all their games this year and I don't think they have gelled as a team yet. They are also pretty thin. Best of luck with you plays today. Not the right forum, but how bout UAB straight up last night. Wow! Sick call!!

It's that time of year in CFB were their are MANY over inflated lines. And that was the case in all 3 games last night. I wanted to play all 3 dogs like I posted, but at the same time I wanted to use discipline as well...

Also thank you for the kind words. I'll probably spen every waking moment of the night scanning the football match ups for tomarrow. About the St Jon's hype. That's what hiring a coach like Steve Lavin will do. Unfortunately I habe little faith in him caoching from the bench. Don't mind listening to him talk on the TV but making in game decisions is not for everybody...

44% of Purdue's made shots have been three's.  Their leader in fg% is a 6'2'' guard shooting 60%.  Three guys are shooting at least 50% from beyond the arc.  These numbers are fools' gold, and Temple is a disciplined, well-coached team that won't be sucked into the same kind of frenzied pace that Purdue duped Iona into playing. 

For the same reasons, I think the over is a sucker bet.

Yes, they do run and gun. I'm sure you remember my dad has been a season ticket holder since '72 so I get to go to about 80% of the home games.  Well my bro and I went to MU/Norfolk game about 2 weeks ago.  MU was all over them and the game was pretty much over at Halftime.  Even when up 20 they were running the fast break for layups.

Bama does have the whole payback play working for them as the Shockers beat them in the NIT final last year.  I would lean Bama, but its a tough call.

This is actually good info TMP. Marquette kept their foot on teh pedal leading to a blowout win. Drexel might be in for a surprise today. Small play for me but I like the point's. It's always nice to have aa team have been tested to the max which is exactly what seemed to happen in teh Marquette game. Speaking of Marquette are you laying the -18 tonight or what ever the number is...

oddsbuster, would you take Drexel if they were teased down to 10.5?  with or without their leading scorer, this is still a team that's expected to win their conference, and/or be good enough to make the dance as an at-large... goin up against a team whose only win wasn't even offered as bettable at sportsbooks, they shouldn't struggle to win, which to me is what "only" winning by 10 is.

Their are lot's of experts that claim the Temple slow em down and play solid defense may be a thing of the past. It remains to be seen yet, but we shall see. On your Iona comment ralating to Purdue duping them into playing a faster game. Iona didn't play to the over at 18-13 last season because they were slowing things down. Iona wants to play a faster paced game, it just didn't work out for them against a much more talented team...

yeah, I locked it in at -18 for 2 units. I personally see a 25+ point win here tonight.  They've won their first to games by an average of 42.5 points! I did a small right up in my thread, go have a look.

I hate teasing let alone teasing bassketball. If you like Drexel just take them laying the -15 (-110) or what ever number your getting. I just think Norfolk is being looked over here. Drexel is an ok team in a conference i'm a little down on this year in the CAA. Lot's like Drexel, i'm not one of them...
