Interested in your takes on the "War on 74".

Bradley should cover, and I would feel okay laying 4 points. They are the more talented team, they just don't play with discipline much of the time. ISU plays with discipline, they just have no talent. Should be a good game, but ISU won't win unless they hit a lot of threes. They are very average shooters from the outside, and they were red hot last game. That performance is probably a big reason why this line is so low. I had the game nailed the last time they played. The line came out 8, and I felt it was too many. Came down to 6 and I pounded it. ISU won by 7. But Bradley is night and day when it comes to playing at home and on the road. I'm betting Bradley fairly large. But don't bet the farm, as anything can and does happen in the sports world. Look at Maryland tonight.

thanks. I was looking at Bradley also...and looks like the Redbirds win at oogie boogie has given us even more value....just bought the Braves at -2 at Pinny. thanks and good luck.

Illini,

I am all over Bradley as well tomorrow. I think they get the job done at home, where they have played great this year. Good luck tomorrow as I will be pulling for Bradley as well.

Thanks Illini. Never in doubt. Udaman.

A nice easy win for Bradley, as this game was never in doubt. They get little to no respect from the bookmakers, but they are a very solid home team. Congrats to all those who cashed on this one. Wish they were all this easy.

This team cracks me up, because they are so predictable. They are the Minnesota Vikings of college basketball. Laid one egg at home this year against Creighton, just like the Vikings lay an egg at home every year against the Giants. Other than that, they play like worldbeaters every game at home. And they play like crap every time they go on the road. I haven't checked the numbers, but I'm sure you would be way up if you just faded them on the road and bet them at home this year.
