waiting on Hummel and Kramer updates before I unload...Hummel looks good to play, Kramer not so much

What exactly is the reasoning behind the Purdue pick?

Just looking at the last game a 4pt lose by Penn ST @ Wisconsin is way more impressive then a 4pt lose @ home against Illinois, NO?

Just looking for some analysis not bashing your pick by any means.

Just looking for some analysis not bashing your pick by any means.

If you pick based on one game your going to get hurt big time in the long run.

No disrespect but none of this has any value to anyone who wants to pick a game.

Esco · Jan 6, 2009

Well, There a stronger team for one & also my system tells me to pick them as well. My system tells me they will win by 6, so i'm on it with my 5 units also. Hummel is going to play so I see it as a no brainer. They've played a stronger schedule so far & my system agrees with me also. Don't be surprised if Marcus Green have a big game tonight. It's all mathematical brother, it's all mathematical. LOL!!!!!
