Just gave Denver a quick look and that number looks pretty good. I'll probably hop aboard. Not seeing anything I really like right now. Maybe Cleve State right back if the line looks decent. I was geared to play Portland State but I'm not thrilled with the 10', just a bit too steep.
Good luck
Good luck
N.Illinois was actually a game I was taking a hard look at. I think they are greatly improved. DiNunno has really gave them some much needed scoring. I feel they are playing with a lot more confidence. In their last game against Tenn St where they were trailing at half I think they would have wilted last year, but they fought back and almost pulled out a nice road win. I think they have the ability to keep it within 10.
Plays #s 1 & 2 LOCKED & LOADED!
Got the same prices as you also! VERY NICE! :toast:

I have not followed the Pioneers at all over the last year but recall that they were a quite reliable home dog a couple of years back. Kind of like Evansville, couldn't use them at all on the road but very solid at home. I've got a couple of extra dollars tonight, so I'm on board. Thanks !
If it is not too much to ask is it possible for a small explanation on the Sooners pick. I think you can talk me into it. You have been good all year but I won't tail blindly.
Denver -1 -105
Think this is a great spot for the Pioneers to get their first win of the season. Fact is they are an extremely tough home team. Mainly b/c of their style of play that depends greatly on 3 point shooting. It is always an advantage when you have a shooting team playing on your home court that you are familiar with. Some also say their Princeton offense is in the perfect environment as the air is thin, and their methodical, patient approach to offense wears down their opponents. This is now the 2nd year that the team is running this system. Last year they were highly successful at home, winning with a young team. The top 6 of 7 players that contributed last year return so you have to think they will be more comfortable running the offense. Denver has also beat No Colorado 15 of the last 16 meetings. After that many beatings there has to be some doubt in the mind of the Bears wondering if they can beat this team. No Col isn't used to winning, and I don't see how it changes tonight. Denver is just too disciplined running their unique offense, and at protecting their home court. I expect the home court advantage to win out tonight as DU will hand no.col just another loss.

Oklahoma -3 -110
This game will be won down low. Rebounding should be the key to this game. While UAB's weakness is in their frontcourt, that happens to be Oklahoma's strength. UAB is thin up front. They don't have the bodies to bang with big, tough, physical teams such as OU. Just their last 2 games against Old Dominion, and Arizona they were out rebounded by -8, and -14 respectively. That is not going to cut it as OU has out rebounded each and every opponent by at least +5 rebounds each game. 2 of them games they were at least +12 on the glass. Being able to control the glass will neutralize UAB's great guard play. It will limit their 2nd chance points, while giving them a strong advantage on the offensive glass. By holding such a rebounding advantage it could give them the possibilty of getting up at least 12 more shots throughout the game. Now i'm not a math major, but anything you are taking a number of shots more than your opponent it should be benificial. UAB knows they have no answer for Blake Griffin, but if they try to sag down on him, it will leave Willie Warren open on the outside who has been hot his last two games from 3 point range. Over a 40 minute game I think OU's advantage down low will take a toll. Blake and Tyler Griffin should control the paint and get a win
