2-3 Thursday. Time to turn things around for Friday. Here are my early leans:

Like okc, Iona is worrisome tho, Fairfield has some ballers not too many people know about. If I had to, Iona is the play. Over never hurts with them either

I picked Iona mostly because of their amazing offensive output this season...and, unlike UF (which should've covered today ), Iona actually has a respectable record of 10-3 away from home (including neutral sites). You are right in that Fairfield has some ballers and there are many reasons to pick them (i.e. they are 5-0 vs Iona the last 5 times they played them at home). I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that Fairfield can't match point for point with Iona. This is actually a huge game for Iona with no look ahead to worry about (St. Peter's looms ) so they will need the W to keep pace in the MAAC standings.
BOL bro if you end up playing either side.

Haha. Definitely sleep on it first. I'm not trying to make you change your mind or anything...just giving my reasoning behind it. That 0-5 in their last trips to Fairfield should worry everybody...and is also why the line is so low.

Jimmy, Mike, Orange, D-town Here's what I officially have for today:
Iona -2.5 For the aforementioned reasons. They basically score 84 (2nd in nation) a game, shoot 3's better, are better on the boards, and lead in most statistical categories. They are number 1 in the country in assists. Fairfield is better in points allowed per game (62) but they only score 65. Iona is at 84 and 74, respectively. They push tempo and force you to outscore them. They also shoot around 50% from the floor, and will be looking to put up huge numbers tonight after coming off a close loss where they only shot 34%. Iona is also 10-3 away from home. They haven't dropped 2 in a row all season, and coming off a loss they have followed it up with a win by at least 9 points every time. Also, glancing at common opponents seems to show Iona has played them better. By the numbers this year, Iona is the play. If you take history into account, Fairfield is the play as they are 5-0 in the last 5 games at home against Iona. I think that changes tonight.
Harvard/Yale over 127 I have come off of the side here and went with the over instead. Yale is tempting as a side because they are 10-2 against Harvard at home the past 12 times and are 6.5 point underdogs at home. However, Harvard is now ranked and will fight to prove they deserve to be there. Yale has played some good competition in their losses, but ultimately haven't beaten anyone great. Harvard has some an impressive win against FSU, but who knows what that means. I layed off the side because this could go either way as a rivalry game. I went with over because the over has hit in 5 of Yale's past 6 games at home against Harvard. If you look at the past 10 meetings overall, they have combined for more than 127 in every game. Harvard has played great defense this year, but Yale scores 83 points per game at home. Harvard only allows 54 a game, but I don't think they can keep Yale in the 50s as that is close to 20 points away from their home average. If they do, hats off to them as that will be some feat.
Wright State -8.5 Loyola-Chicago has lost 8 in a row and is facing a Wright State team that has won 4 of 5 at home, with the loss being by 1 point to Butler. Wright State already beat them by 16 at Loyola earlier this season, and is the team that started Loyola on this losing streak. Now they are at home and there seems to be no reason they shouldn't beat them by 16 again. In their last 10 meetings, Wright State is 9-1 against them, with the loss coming by one point and on the road. Point is, they dominate this team. Both teams suck at offense and score under 60 a game (which is why the o/u is at 107). That lack of scoring is a concern with this juice but I think the earlier 16 point road victory and the 9-1 dominance against Loyola ultimately translates into a blowing win for Wright State.
For NBA, I got a decently large card and will post my write-ups later today in the NBA section: Thunder -4 Hawks -5.5 Magic -4 Rockets/Wizards under 200 Nuggets/Raptors under 199
BOL to everyone today and have a safe weekend. Feel free to post any questions or comments you may have.

@UT football...are you referring to Dwight Howard? That's the first I heard of this but I hope he plays. Regardless, I'll still fade the Hornets until they get a win. No Dwight Howard just means more 3s put up by the Magic. Back spasms? I thought he was Superman ?
@Canadianphenom...I'm not sure what the odds are for them making the Sweet 16. Never really thought about that lol. It definitely "could" happen but I'll probably like them a bit more if they win this game for me .

Iona My biggest play hit! Wright State They stunk in the first half. Yale/Harvard over Harvard kept a team that averages 83 at home to 35. Hawks Barely covered by half a point in overtime. Magic What was that??? Rockets/Wizards under As Predicted. Raptors/Nuggets under Ditto. Thunder

Sorry about your parlay...I don't know what is wrong with the Magic all of a sudden. Van Gundy should just give them the whole day off tomorrow to get their minds right.
