SATURDAY HOOPS 151

coming off a decent day  6-2  2-1 on teasers hitting the 3 team teaser, and hitting a parlay  and gave out some decent write ups pointing to Merrimack, over 79.5 TT iowa st, and OVER in the sam houston game which went over by about 30 pts .....got 1 game i am liking 

Here's one game i am going to take without even looking into it much, so beware  Miami oh at home vs Akron, again maybe everyone will be on Akron, it seems so many are wanting Miami to lose one, well maybe Miami is really good this year for some reason, and they have not beaten Akron the last 3 times they have played , last time these 2 played was in the MAC tourney last year and Akron was a 7 pt favorite and they lost to akron 74-76 in a game where Miami had a lead at halftime 46-34, and they kept that lead all the way until 1:41 left in the game when akron tied it at 72, then it was tied at 74 with 56 sec's left  maybe Miami oh is still thinking about that game, because that was for the MAC championship and of course a trip to the NCAA tourney and when you lose a game like that you are thinking about it on your death bed ...lol   i still do not see any injuries listed for either team   in that game last year Miami oh shot 49% 28/57  and 50% from 3  15/30 and were just 3/5 at the ft line  and Akron shot 46% 27/59  33% from 3 9/27 and were 13/16 at the line  10 extra ft's made and they took 10 more and won by 2 at the end on a layup with 2 sec's left  did not lead until just over 1 min left   i think they maybe even had this game wwritten on the board in the locker room   and i am getting +2.5 at -120  still cannot find out why the one guy did not play for Miami last game, even in the stuff about the game it says nothing and showing no injuries still  but to be honest it dont matter  , they took it to BG on the road  and with this being their next game too, no looking ahead  

MIAMI OH +2.5  

YTD 222-171  teasers  2-1  ytd 54-30 and we got another parlay yesterday 

looking at the Virginia at NC st game  virginia off the loss vs virg tech i do favor NC st here, Virginia will still be without Jacari white with a wrist injury 19 mins 11 pts a game , just think NC st is playing really well, only loss in last 6-7 games was a 1 pt loss to kansas , and virginia just lost to Virginia tech by 10 in a very high scoring game 95-85 and VT has had major guys out too, and they play today also  and i was liking VT today vs Wake forest, but as i look at this VT has some major players out, but they were out when they played Virginia and they still beat Virginia by 10 i mean VT is missing Toibu Lawai 30 mins 13 pts 10 reb's a game, he has been out since dec 11th that is a major player, and they have 2 guys ?? Antonio Dom 12 min 4 pts and Tyler Johnson 30 mins  9 pts 5 reb's  if all 3 are out and we know Lawai is out they will be missing 2 main starters that means no foul trouble , they beat Virginia at home with just 8 players they had some guys really step up and they will have to again ....Christian Gurdak who was playing 15 mins and avg 6 pts he played 46 mins and had 17 pts 7/10 shooting but missed 4 ft's ....and Ben Hammond came off the bench he was avg 27 mins and 11 pts, he plays 42 mins and had 30 pts 7/16 shooting and was 16/18 from the ft line , the game went to OT and both teams shot not real well as both shot about 35% only reason VT won was that they were 28/41 at the ft line missing 13 ft's  and Virginia was only 11/15 anytime you make 17 more ft's you should win ...so i am not liking VT as much as i was now that i see they may be without tyler johnson again due to an ankle injury, and justnot sure i can count on them having more ft's  they are just banged up right now  and even though VT has won 6 straight, WF is at home and has lost 2 straight, to Vandy and NC st this may be a good spot for them here to get right facing an injured beat up team 

Clemson on the road again at pitt as a 3.5 pt favorite, they are the better team for sure here  ..... but looking into these big conf games, maybe its better to focus on smaller schools today after all there are a ton of games, you'll always find lines that are off sticking with smaller schools , i was taught that in the early 80's odds makers focus more on popular teams where i made my bread and butter over the years was sticking with smaller conf games ...but i do favor Clemson in this one if the line is 3 or 3.5   

adding 1 teaser right now  American at Boston U, and Oklahoma at home vs Ole miss 

American +3.5/Oklahoma -2.5  1 unit

Great write ups, and as for yesterday, outstanding!!  Let’s go!

Good luck Rum 

Good luck Rum.  

Miami Ohio is definitely the play Big Rum!

I really like Nc state and Clemson as well. 

Super early and super late starts absolutely goes in favor of the home team. Virginia not in a great spot.

I like Clemson to continue winning streak before SMU game.

Your gonna stay away from the two?

 Best of luck today 

@RUM151

 Bol ...I like Clemson too

I cashed out my Miami oh play earlier this morning when the line went up, but it is going to be a play as long as there are no injuries  if the one guy is still out that's fine  but Ihave not seen an injury report , I do not think this line move is due to an injury, that player did not play against BG so the opening line already had that figured in it, I said in my  write up that I thought people would be on Akron and the line has went to 3.5 so I am going to wait and still play it  if its the same as the BG game , some info here the line has moved against Miami oh the last few games and yet they keep winning and covering ,

@RUM151

 Has Kentucky played a true road game yet??? Going into Tuscaloosa might be too tough for 1st true road game. 
Also Bellarmine/Queens total down to 168’ was at 170’…both these teams can light it up as u know. Think they can both hit 90. Low spread also. Just some thoughts, I don’t normally give. Like NC ST and BYU today

Good luck today. We will need it lol

@ToddC

 NO I just played NC st -4 offshore  ,    Clemson I like too, I have not decided if just str up  or use in teaser or parlay , or 2 of the 3  

but  NC st -4 -120  is a play  

gl 151

@Fuzzer44

 LOL one of the 1st totals I looked at was the Bell/Queens game...there's a lot of ways to play this game  I had to actually get some sleep, but I was looking into TT's totals  

if I play I will post, its a huge card today   and me being me will bet a lot of games, something I advise against   but it all depends on how many I look at I have a airport run at 145-3pm so going to be looking into earlier games and I would love to watch some FB today  like Tampa , 

also i am going to go with Duquesne at home vs VCU, was on them last game and they covered for me, VCU is having just their 2nd true road game here, and they lost their 1st one at NC st 79-85  and this could be a very high scoring game also as both these teams can score, both averaging over 82 pts a game on offense, but at home Duquesne is averaging 88 pts a game and are giving up 74, they have a +14 scor margin at home, and they are a team that really moves the ball around, as they average 20 assist when at home and VCU had 12 in their one road game, only thing i hate is that there is not a lot of stats for some teams on the road because so many play at home a lot, but that will change soon, and Duquesne is 8-1 str up at home, and are 3-1 ats as a dog this year, and they are 10-2 OVER this year,6-1 over at home, 3-1 Over as a dog.. so some good trends for the over there, this total is about 165 

this is a riskier play maybe, but i like it...getting 5.5 -6 at home is worth a try in my opinion, now i do spend extra juice when i can, but you have to lose in order for you to lose extra juice...lol  so its all up to the person many are diff , i just hate half pt losses   VCU after a win is 4-5 ats , they did cover their one away loss , they are 7-4 OVER as a favorite 

Duquesne +6.5 -130  i am playing this at hardrock 

As i posted in my write up last night Virginia Tech is beat up, they have some big injuries, i do think Wake forest is the play today, mad i didnt bet them last night, i went into looking at that game liking VT but after seeing the injuries, and being down to 8 players i decided wake forest was the play and since then the line has went from -4.5 to -5,5 and another game i like is Coastal Carolina last game they were a 1.5 favorite but i decided to use them on a teaser and they came back from 7 down with 2 mins to go to get to OT and then they lost by 1 82-81 and they controlled the boards as they had 20 offensive rebounds which led to them having about 5 more shots, they shot the ball really well as did Ga southern CCU was down 8 at half , but they did everything right, looking at the box scores i was wondering how they lost?, it was their 1st home game in a while as they had just played 6 str road games, well after losing that game i do think they cover today, BUT  i am just going to use them in a teaser again, maybe a parlay too   but i am putting Wake forest -.5/with CC -1.5  i really like this teaser  and i do like both teams vs their spreads  i would take CC-6 and wake -5   

TEASER  WF-.5/Coastal Car -1.5

Nice work and GL 151 

well i went to sportsline and bleacher report, and team rankings, no one is showing any injuries on either team for Akron or Miami oh but some are predicting when the teams are undefeated will lose and they have akron winning today at one site and thats fine, i said why i like them, i am going to go ahead and bet them they are +3.5  i am buying to 4 -125  it might be a loser  but i am not changing my mind because the line went up 1 point, ill just take the extra 1.5 and go with it 

Miami Ohio +4 -125

also i am going to take georgia -6  i wish i had looked at this last night but cannot think of everything, i really like this team this year, and they are scoring over 100 a lot this total is 173 i like the over because i think georgia will get over 90 here, they are ranked now and its showing , also they have lost to auburn 5 straight and that ends today, i see a 10+ pt win here at home  , auburn has had just 1 real road game and they lost that to Arizona by 30, Georgia uis avg 102 pts at home, and giving up 70, they are avg 17 assist at home and auburn just 11 away, and they should control the boards today too  i really like this and this line may hit 7+  1pm start

Georgia -6  i really like this spot for them not saying BIG  but i like it a lot!
