Ok, another one that makes no sense. Here is an Ohio team fresh off a 34 point pasting from BGreen and they were also beaten earlier this season at home by one point by them. Secondly, Ohio has lost 5 of their last 6 only one of those less than 10 points....while BGreen is 10-2 in their last 12 conference games. Not to mention they are a Number 1 seed and Ohio is a Number 9 seed. OK, now thats layed out for you...why are they only a 2 point favorite over Ohio??? It should be between 7-10 points, IMO. I'm researching this some more, but clue me in here if someone knows something I do not because this has the makings of my largest play today. Has the makings of some very profitable games from yesterday!

From just what you are saying OHIO seems to be the play based on the number

You are correct sir! I wouldn't dare go with BG here, regardless....I'm just needing to see there isn't any unknown circumstances causing this line to be set so low....other than just to get more action on BGreen, which you knew was coming in anyways. One of those setups to balance some potential sharp money coming in to support Ohio? Who knows here?? I'm a hunting...

Pitt is only -4 vs WVU, so what your point.

I am not trying to be rude, but conference tourney games always have pretty low lines, is this your 1st year betting these games.

Today is the single best betting day in all of sports imo.

Look at the entire MAC nobody is more than a 2 or 3 point fav.

I think they want you to take Ohio here. I like BG and will be on them big today. They are just the better team. Ohio hasn't been able to win on the road this year and BG on the other hand has won serval games on the road during their hot streak. I hope BG wins by 4-7 so it keeps the rest of their lines down through the tourny. Good luck with whatever you decide.

And there wasn't a single team fresh off a 35 point trouncing either. Home court advantage is a big advantage, but not that big. I don't find you rude, nor do I feel your questioning my capping knowledge (even if you are). I state my opinion, make my plays, and you do both of those for you and yours. Good luck.

I am not sure how this would be very tempting to an Ohio backer. If I'm an Ohio backer only getting 2...now 1.5 points, you are basically telling me Ohio has to win the game or no ATS cover. We were just beaten by 34 points by this same team??? The parity is not the same here as the NBA. Usually a team loses by 35 will lose again less than a week later to that same team unless we had a stud sitting out, etc. Good luck though.

No I wasn't questioning any of insight or capping knowledge. I was just simply stating what I thought of the game.

I don't see the logic here. A number looks too good so you take the other side?

I'm on Bowling Green, biggest play of the day.

My logic is Vegas does not give away money. "A number looks too good....."...that says enough for me. What looks too good majority of the time isn't. Good luck though, I am human and have been wrong but I like Ohio and will make a big play on them.

Who knows, I've been wrong before. Don't get the line at all and Ohio is now -1.

If it goes up anymore, I will take more on Bowling Green. Just not seeing why, no injuries, better team, rested, etc.

Adding more regardless. GL

The more it goes the other way, the more I lean Ohio. They will get plenty of action on BG....they just beat Ohio by 34 points!

If there is one thing I love, is when Vegas gives out free money! :)

Folks if there is a lesson to be learned here, PICK THE BETTER TEAM. Everyone that capped this game said Bowling Green was the better team but because Lang or some people were betting it, people went the other way?

Makes no sense, easy money and I mean easy money. Bowling Green dominated from start to finish as expected.

Good call, but can't come close to agreeing with you. You guys won one, but its nothing worthy of a Nobel prize. Congrats, but this isn't a lesson learned because my beliefs go much further back than one MAC conference game that I picked wrong. Pitt was easy money for many tonight as well and doesn't look so easy. No double standards.

Pitt and West Virginia was a much, much different situation. Pitt didn't need this game, West Vag did. I would have taken West Virginia if anything.

Bowling Green and Ohio both need to win or go home. Obviously the better team down in that game. I don't want a Nobel prize, winning my bet of the night and ensuring a profit is thanks to myself enough. GL on the rest of your picks.
