Georgia St @ Purdue -18 1/2
Georgia St at 1-1 and 0-1 ats scoring 88.0 ppg and giving up 76.0 ppg for a diff of 12.0
Purdue at 1-1 and 0-1 ats scoring 92.5 ppg and giving up 72.0 ppg for a diff of 20.5
I would imagine Purdue is pretty anxious to get back out on their home court and start another winning streak at Mackey. The question is can the win by at least 19 or more would be nice. They are certainly capable of it, especially if they pound it inside to 7'2 Hass and 6'9 Swanigan. Purdue can score some points as they out up 76 in a losing cause to Nova. Georgia St giving up 76 ppg so far and lost their last game on the road to Auburn by 18. They are lead by a X Indiana transfer named Holloman who is averaging 21.5 ppg but only shooting 18% from 3 point land. GS won their opener 111-69 over Thomas. Thomas who I don't know. I think if they gave up 69 to Thomas and 83 to Auburn that they will have trouble holding this Purdue team down at home.
Georgia State is 1-8 SU in its last 9 games on the road
Georgia State is 1-8 ATS in its last 9 games on the road (like it)
Ball St @ Bama -8
Ball St at 1-1 and 1-1 ats scoring 79.5 ppg and giving up 72.0 ppg for a diff of 7.5
Bama at 1-1 and 1-1 ats scoring 71.0 ppg and giving up 65.0 ppg for a diff of 6.0
Bama is another one of those teams that surely must be anxious to get back out on the court after a very tough loss to Dayton by 5. In their other game they beat a very tough Coastal Carolina team by 17. Ball St coming off a 7 point loss at home to Ind St. Ball St not a very good team on the road as they are 8-17 last 25. The program has struggled lately and playing at Bama and coach Avery style of ball should not be an easy quest. They play tough D and I really think they will force a lot of to's as Ball St area already averaging 16 after two games. I value Bama worth 3 to 4 at home and have this line at around 10. So Bama fan today!
Detroit @ Illinois -18 1/2
Detroit at 1-1 and 0-1 ats scoring 88.5 ppg and giviing up 88 ppg for a diff of .0 0.5
Illini at 3-0 and 1-2 ats scoring 90.7 ppg and giving up 63.7 ppg for a diff of 27.0
A lot of points to give a mid conf team but I think warranted. I mean Detroit is giving up 88 ppg and the Illini are putting up 90.7 ppg and are at home. They are healthy this year and really do have a lot of depth this season. Back are PG Abrams who missed almost all of last year and he's scoring 10.7 ppg and dishing out 3.7 assists and 3 steals. Also back is Thorne who in 7 games last year averaged 13.4 ppg and 8.4 rebs. The Illini have another big man (Morgan at 6 "10) who is even better than Thorne right now.
Detroit lost their last game on the road to East Tenn St 107-78. That is just awful. In their first game they beat up on Adrian 99-69. (that had to piss Rocky off) Detroit new coach (Bacari Alexander) must not be a believer in def or they just don't have the talent to play it or he must play a very fast paced game. Or they press and give up a lot of layups, whatever, playing the big 10 team at home because of experienced players and a coach that has paid his dues and hopefully will want some blood.
S. Illinois -3 @ SIUED
S.ILL at 1-2 and 0-2 ats scoring 77.0 ppg and giving up 79.7 ppg for a diff of -2.7
SIUED at 2-1 and 2-1 ats scoring 68.0 ppg and giving up 74.0 ppg for a diff of-6.0
S. Illinois leads in every statistical category. They shoot 47% fg, 75% ft, compared to 41 fg% and 67 ft% for Edwardsville. The line is confusing and I wouldn't think it would be a trap game this early in the season. S. Ill definitely hails from the better conf and they are 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games when playing Edwardsville.
Maybe the line is right considering S. Ill are only 1-6 straight up last 7 road games. I see that SIUED may get center Pierre 6'11 for this game. He hasn't played in a regular season game yet and was red shirted last year. He is listed as ?.
SIUED finished 6-22 last year and are only 1-6 straight up last 7 at home.
Shooting Stats:
S. Illinois shooting 47% fg, and 75.3%ft, and 42% 3 pt
SIUED shooting 41% fg and 67.1 %ft, and 41.7% 3 pt
I'm giving the 3 and we shall see if I underestimated the opponent or overestimated the Salukis.
Coppin St @ Utah -26 1/2
COPIN at 0-3 and 0-0 ats scoring 63.0 ppg and giving up 80.3 ppg for a diff of -17.3
UTAH at 2-0 and 0-0 ats scoring 88.5 4ppg and giving up 45.0 ppg for a diff of 43.5
Of course Utah has opened up with to cupcakes in Concordia and Nw whoever they are so you can't really base the diff when comparing the two teams. I'm basing this game off of Coppin St unbelievable schedule so far this season. This is their 5th straight road game. They played at Hofstra, Valpo, Coastal C, BYU, and now at Utah. They lost by 2, 20, 30, and 37 respectively to those teams. They must be tired. They were 9-22 last season.
Utah, who really knows after their first two games. I do see that Coppin only shooting 33.3 fg% and 61.5 from the line. Utah shooting 50% fg and 71.4 % from the line.
Utah 56 total rebs per game to 38 for Coppin. One non related stat but most likely in coach Krystkowiak mind is that his nemesis (BYU) beat this team by 37. Just saying!
Good luck everyone and bet reasonably
