2 unit plays: 6-5
1 unit plays: 45-34-3

1-1 yesterday as San Fran failed to show while Hawaii played well to get the cover and probably should have won the game.

Should have at least five games today. I like a lot of these dogs, especially at home in conference games. Here's two games so far:

719 Texas A&M -1 at Penn St. 1 unit
-- I'll jump on the A&M train here as the undefeated Aggies get a road test in Happy Valley. While Penn St. seems to have an improving club, I think the Aggies pull one out on the road.

737 West Virginia +9 at NC State 1 unit
--If this wasn't such a bad spot for WVU, I'd play two units here. But they are on the road following a big win against GW while State comes back home after one of the most embarrassing performances so far this year in college basketball in the NYC. I'll play WV here because this line seems to be a touch too high.

741 Arizona St. +10 at Arizona 2 units
-- I like this State for two units in the Pac 10 game. State has good front court play and should be motivated to play with Arizona as both could contend for the league title this year. I think the line should be about 7 or 8.

752 E. Michigan PK vs. Toledo 1 unit
-- This E. Michigan team is still somewhat of an enigma, but Toledo is such a bad team on the road I think we're getting a deal here with such a cheap price at home for E. Michigan, especially in a conference game.

adding

726 Florida St. +3.5 vs. Florida
-- The world likes Florida but I will go the other way. Rivalry game. Seminoles will play tough to the end. This game should be close and a FSU upset wouldn't surprise me. I have +4, but 3.5 seems to be widely available, so we'll use that to grade.

Still looking at least one, maybe a second home dog and maybe one other play.

Thanks Opie. I hope we are to.

771 Clemson +17.5 at Duke 1 unit
-- The young, athletic Clemson Tigers have been surprising to me this season, and I think this is a good spot to play them. Duke is always known for big spreads, and they're laying a few too many here. Clemson already has a nice road win at South Carolina, so they should be able to compete at Duke.

One more that I like is Virginia vs. Wake Forest at 5:30 p.m. I am just waiting for the line to top out, hopefully around four. I'd probably take the 3 and 3.5s out there right now, but I see no reason not to wait.

GL.

760 Virginia +3.5 vs. Wake Forest 1 unit
-- Going to play against this line. I think the linesmakers opened this game too high and it has taken off somewhat from there. Virginia has played well on its homecourt and they'll be ready for the conference opener tonight.

That should be all. GL everyone.
