GTown's lost three in a row, playing like crap, now they host the number 5 team in the country and they open as a 3 point fav, that has trap written all over it.

Of the 4 games you selected, I only have a special interest in one of these teams.

ST JOHNS.

It's a certainty that Syracuse is OVERRATED and ST JOHNS is UNDERRATED, but only by barely enough to make it a wager.

The only problem I see is that if both teams play to their most recent average perfomance level, and not their median levels, the game becomes more random in its result.

The other 3 games appear to be properly valued, except maybe TOWSON, who is certainly underrated. I would need to get a couple of more pts in that game, to pull the trigger.

I like ST. JOHNS tonight as a basic size wager.

I have 1 best bet in a thread I will be starting soon.

As always, Best of luck,

Totally..................Shirley


GL to you tonight Shirley

I thought about that one, but Memphis is one the road, unranked, and haven't won a road game yet this year. Could be a slight trap, but not enough to make me play it though. GL to you if you decide to

What about #1 Duke only giving 8, now 7.5, to FSU? Auburn, yes Auburn, just beat FSU.... looks like a trap to me.

What do you think, David?

David, thoughts on Northern Iowa tonight if any?  I see some value there vs a down ILLI St team because of their past 5 or so games, any opinion here?

Thought about that one, and perhaps still might add it. Can't quite call it a full fledged trap yet though

I think the line is right about where it should be. No real lean either way. GL with whatever you decide

Im a die hard cuse fan, and I love them in this spot.  MSG is a 2nd home for orange and they play very well there.

Which makes it all the more fishy the line is only 2.5.... vegas isn't just handing out free money
