$$$$ = Washington (-4) over Stanford
Washington is a very good team at home and Stanford is not that great on the road. The line on this game is being HEAVILY affected by the results of the UW and Stanford games on Thursday night, so I will take that and run with it. Yes, Washington has lost 4 in a row, but they were all games they are not supposed to win, vs. 4 NCAA Tournament locks, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, & Cal. The Cal loss at home may *look* bad, but, in reality, Cal is on fire right now and 2 weeks from now that loss won't look bad, as its very possible Cal runs the table and wins the Pac-12. In this game, this is a MUST win for UW if they have any hope at an NCAA berth. Stanford is a solid team, but they don't perform well on the road and Washington will have a full house, and they will be rowdy. The difference on the court is athleticism and length, and UW has the advantage in both. The Huskies should just smother Stanford's methodical style and I see them getting out and running and getting a lot of easy dunks and layups in transition. I see this as a 10-point game and I just don't think Stanford has enough to stay with Washington's speed, length, and athleticism over 40 minutes. I think Andrews and the Washington kids pull away in this one for an easy cover.
Thanks and good luck today everyone!

Today we have Xavier heading to Georgetown in the Big East. These two teams met earlier in the year with Georgetown pulling off an upset at Xavier. That was a different Georgetown team. They have been struggling as of late losing at home to Seton Hall in their last game.
Xavier plays with a chip on their shoulder, they are quite cocky and will be looking for revenge in this one. Since their lose at Creigton they have had Blow out wins at Butler and home against Providence.
Xavier can shoot the lights out with bald man Miles Davis and they have the best inside duo in my opinion on the Big East with Reynolds and Farr inside. Xavier is going to be pissed and Gtown doesn't stand a chance. Xavier pours it on teams
Money play $$$&&&& Xavier -3

$$$$ Indiana -4
Going back to my Hoosier roots here although I now live in the year round warmth of Florida I never forget where I came from. Indiana happens to be the greatest basketball state in the US and today we are showcasing an in state rivalry between two teams that are finally back on the national stage with two good teams. This is a major rivalry and I don't think we can overlook the homecourt advantage IU will have in Assembly Hall. Indiana is 15-0 at assembly hall (WOW!) and 16-2 there over the past 5 years against Top 25 teams!!!! Bottom line this play will be rocking and your darn right Crean will have his team pumped up at home after laying an egg at Penn State. I really like the edge the Hoosiers have with their guard play. Yogi can really create for IU and Purdue's guards are very streaky shooters that I have seen go ice cold for 6-10 minutes at a time which is not a good mix against an IU team that can score in bunches (IU is second best shooting team in the entire country). Purdue will pound the ball inside on the Hoosiers while attempting to slow down the pace of play and will play some tough defense. I just can't see this working in Assembly Hall and see IU moving to 16-0 at home. IU is just too comfortable from beyond the arc at home. Go Hoosiers!
$$$$ Indiana -4

Second Play today:
Another Indiana team (not being biased they are just the better team) the Notre Dame Fightin' Irish head to Georgia Tech. Tech had a good win at FSU but let me remind you that is a good win not a great one. FSU is nothing special and now is sub 500 in conference play. Notre Dame is a different team with Jackson back and scoring at will. The Irish have been a good road team this year only losing at Virginia and Miami (two quality teams). They have had a week off to prepare for this game and this is the first of 3 road games. Coach Brey knows how important it is to win the first road game of the 3. Also I like that they have something to play for. A win here and they nearly solidify there Top 4 finish in the ACC guaranteeing them a Double Bye in the conference tourney. Go Irish!
Notre Dame -2

Burnley -0.75 (-120) If you aren't familiar with the Asian Handicap (-0.75), if Burnley win by only 1, half the wager is a push, but other half is still a win. A two goal+ win is a scoop and a draw/loss is a losing wager.Match kicks at 10AM (ET-US)

Texas A&M (6:30PM ET ESPN) – We continue Saturday’s action with our top selection of the day as the Texas A&M Aggies take on the #14 Kentucky Wildcats at Reed Arena in College Station. It’s amazing how perceptions can change week to week in college basketball as just a couple weeks ago the Texas A&M Aggies were ranked as high as #5 in the country. Not only are the Aggies no longer a Top 10 team, Texas A&M has fallen from the rankings all together, and while this losing streak certainly came out of nowhere we don’t think the fall off is nearly as much as many are making it out to be and thus see a ton of value in Texas A&M on their home floor today. We have been backing Texas A&M all season and while it might have been a little ambitions to call them a Final Four team, they certainly played like one last time we needed them as they pulled away from a very good Iowa State team down the stretch to win and cover against the Cyclones. This followed a hard fought road loss to Arkansas which snapped a lengthy Aggies winning streak and it looked like things would return to normal for the Aggies moving forward. That couldn’t be further from what happened as the Aggies completely hit a wall losing four straight games to see them fall out of the national rankings all together, but we are going to examine the losing streak to prove why these losses weren’t that bad, and demonstrate why Texas A&M is in a great position to win at home this evening. Of the four straight losses, three came on the road and if you throw out a blowout loss at Vandy where the Commodores played as good as a team could play, the other three losses are all to quality teams by a total of nine points. If you go back and look at the three games the only sure loss was Vandy, as the games against South Carolina, Alabama and LSU were a play or two away from being Texas A&M wins. It was a matter of time before Texas A&M was going to unload on someone and that team ended up being Ole Miss during the week as Texas A&M destroyed the Rebels 71-56. This result is huge as the Aggies now have their confidence back and are riding high heading into the biggest game of their season this weekend. On the other side of the ball we have a Kentucky team that is drawing comparisons to the 2014 Wildcats that got off to an awful start then found themselves in the National Title game but we aren’t buying the hype just yet and think Kentucky is vulnerable here despite coming in on a four game winning streak. Three of Kentucky’s four wins were at home and prior to that the Wildcats registered back to back road losses to Kansas and Tennessee. While Kentucky has matured quite a bit from week to week, they are still less than a month removed from an inexplicable road loss at Auburn and they also have road losses to UCLA and LSU which means this team is very vulnerable away from home. The fact of the matter is had this game been played 2-3 weeks ago when Texas A&M was rolling and Kentucky was still perceived to be a talented team hindered by their own youth and inexperience, the Aggies may very well have come in as a few point favorites on their home floor. Focusing further on Kentucky, the Wildcats will have to deal with a banged up Derek Willis, the star of the show on Thursday with 25 points in Kentucky’s win over Tennessee. Kentucky can’t afford to lose Willis with Alex Poythress still out and we see the Wildcats struggling with the Aggies veteran frontcourt. Texas A&M is 14-1 at home this season with their only loss coming during that four game skid to a talented South Carolina team. Texas A&M is one of the most experienced major conference teams out there with a handful of seniors who all play big roles including Danuel House who has put up huge career numbers against Kentucky. Texas A&M knows this is their season on the line today and will bring an effort worthy of the occasion. Kentucky has looked flustered multiple times in hostile environments this season and without stability in the frontcourt we see a ton of long range attempts by a Wildcats unit that isn’t a great jump shooting team and we expect the Aggies faithful to be storming the court in College Station when it’s all said and done.
$$$$ Texas A&M +1.5
Posting at this number for the sake of this thread but I think the right play is to buy half to +2 here. It's a key number and -120 is cheap enough to justify it. Check out my full card at topflightsportsinfo dot com
Good luck today everyone!

Yes, but back then I was mostly tailing and learning things about soccer, from a wagering standpoint. Still am, to be honest, but I follow it much closer now than I did then.
There were a few good soccer cappers there, and not sure where they all ended up once things got broken up. Although, the group on this site is solid too.
Playing Monaco -1.5 and AZ-Alk -1.25 in the afternoon matches. Have the over in this FA cup match too, but pulling for the Cherries!

What do you think about Chelsea-ManCity tomorrow, bk? City is in terrible form and they just have too many games. I honestly think that they may want out of a competition, and the FA Cup would be the one if they had one that they might not care much about. Chelsea is not really playing for anything at this point, so this one could mean a lot more to them than City, who are just in too many comps right now and getting out of this one might help them in the other 3.
