I'm taking this one from @NFL_Brosuf!! He had this game read correctly! Rhode Island is competitive but just can not win on the road. Their lone road conference win was at last place Lasalle. Davidson however comes into the contest with a 13-1 home record! Only losing to 1st place VCU. Davidson has too much scoring power and RI will be playing with 7 men consistently and should tire out in the second half. Davison shoots FT's at a 75% clip which will not hurt their chances! And defensively they come in identical (middle of the pack) rebounding the ball. All things equal Davidson should squeeze one out here!  


Pay this man.  It is murder she wrote in davidson right now.   Not so sure if Island can get 10 points in 10 minutes.  Now that's sad. 

no no whammies.  Davidson, keep it up till the last drop and you will get your 90 points per game here.  OK, mercy rule, give them 80.

I bet you didn't play them for the 2H.  +1 

lead cut down to 8 at the half mark.  Davidson losing steam but we are ok.  It is not like the spread is -8 or something.  I'll be torn if they win by 2 and us. 

Let's go

I'm doing ok today.  Maybe go 3-0 today with davidson looking real good coming to the stretch. 

davidson backers? 

rider 37-33 half time

orlando? 

I'm going for the nba again.  This time for the revenge angle stance in Denver to beat suckamento kings.  Sac beat denver earlier in the year.  Sac has the best center in the league.  However, giving the trend of them kings, I'll take the home court for the small advantage here. 

The Sacramento Kings are:

  • 1-5 ATS in their last 6 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game
  • 0-7 ATS in their last 7 road games.
  • 7-19-2 ATS in their last 28 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

The Denver Nuggets are:

  • 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.
  • 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS loss.

Give me Denver -2.5 for no trap line please.

Laid off the 2nd half #. Didn't want to get greedy!! I'll take the result!! Closed my open parlay with Arkansas 2nd half. I am hoping LSU will mail this game in. Like they seem to be mailing in their season!

Haven't been near a computer today as I was out with the family but I did just log in after listening to the Baylor Kansas game on the radio.  First play of the day:  Kansas -1 2nd Half.

It is late and card is thin.  Going to enjoy this Kansas 2nd half and call it a night as I hate forcing plays.  Catch you all tomorrow.

Quick golf thoughts:

Players I really like at Honda Classic this week: Luke Donald +5000, Brooks Koepka +2200, Rory McIlroy +500, Rickie Fowler +1000.  No matchups are set yet but will post again once released tomorrow evening.

Well the MAC went crazy on me again. BG beats OU outright. Toledo actually covers vs Ball State and Akron gets beat by lowly Miami!  This conference is totally unpredictable...Major WTF factor with Tues night action!!

Yeah, I noticed that man.  That's tough.

Also, remember a max of 4 $$$$'s per week, so you have two left for W-Th-F-Sa-Su.  Better luck tomorrow, TK......

Well said haha right when I thought I was getting a pretty good read on the conference they go and throw me for a loop.  That Ball St. game was baffling, I will tell you where it was lost though (I was watching the whole thing) They were tied 38-38 with about a minute and a half left in the first half.  Ball St. allowed Toledo to go on a 9-0 run and close the half out 47-38.  The part to top it all off? It would have been 44-38 but with 1 second left they fouled a three point shooter.  Three free throws later, 47-38, final score 77-67.... I lose by a point.  It happens.  Keep capping, come back tomorrow.  The worst part is I've been on a pretty good run lately, but my $$$$ picks make me look like straight fade material haha o well. Just keep getting after it, that's all we can do.

Special thanks to TFS for the Boise play, along with those who posted Davidson.... I tailed both
