#1522 1st half: Ohio St -4 1/2 -110 (2)
#522 Ohio St -8 1/2 -110 (2)
Penn St at 11-9 and 9-9-1 ats scoring 66.7 ppg giving up 68.6 ppg for a diff of -1.9
Ohio St at 12-8 and 10-10 ats scoring 71.6 ppg giving up 66.9 ppg for a diff of 4.7
Line is about a 3 points to many IMO. When you bet a fav that usually happens. Basically, I'm playing this game strictly off the Ohio ST team that has been improving all season. They gave Purdue all they could handle last game at Purdue. Even though they lost that game by 11 points, anyone that watched it knows it was much closer than the final score would indicate. Ohio St haven't played at home since Jan 13. They beat Rutgers to a pulp at home. That was coming off a loss at IU. Now after two more road losses to Maryland and Purdue, the young Buckeyes get a chance to play at home. I really think that they will seize this opportunity and take care of business.
They are 8-2 straight up last 10 in this series and 7-3 ats. Ohio St has the advantage on the boards and in every shooting stat but ft's.
Ohio St conf 4-3 with losses on the road to IU, Purdue, Maryland, undefeated at home in conf play with w's by 15, 2, 25.
Minny conf 2-5 with wins over Minny & NW and losses by 6, 23, 27,17, 6.
Playing the Buckeyes tonight.
#530 Iowa St -1 -110 (2)
Kansas at 16-3 and 10-7 ats scoring 84.3 ppg giving up 68.4 ppg for a diff of 15.9
Iowa St at 15-4 and 9-6-1 ats scoring 84.4 ppg giving up 73.7 ppg for a diff of 10.7
Line could be Kansas -1 or at least a pick. By making Iowa St the fav I think they want Kansas action. Don't get me wrong, Iowa St is a nice basketball team and even stronger at home. I just wanted points and expected a point or two. The way this season has been going I'll gladly take a strong home team over a higher ranked opponent.
Iowa St have played Kansas pretty tough. The last 10 games Kansas leads the series 6-4 and they are 5-5- ats. The average score 84.4 to 80.7.
Kansas has lost 3 times this year. Twice on the road in conf at WV by 11 and Okl St by 18. There other loss was away from Kansas on neutral ct to Mich St by 6.
So it's not like they have been taking care of business on the road.
This place will be crazy tonight and I honestly believe if any team will be nervous, it will be Kansas in this environment.
#531 Furman -6 -110 (2)
Furman at 10-10 and 5-6 ats scoring 70.4 ppg giving up 64.2 ppg for a diff of 6.2
VMI at 6-11 and 2-8 ats scoring 67.5 ppg giving up 73.4 ppg for a diff of -5.8
I like the line and personally had this line estimated at 8-9. Furman is 0-5 on the road last 5 games or this line might be have been even higher. Furman has steadily improved from last year and are well coached. They returned their top 7 players from last year. They already beat VMI by 27 on Jan 2. VMI revenge maybe, maybe so but just think Furman is the much better team.
The last 10 years VMI was coached by Dugger Baucom. Run and gun, frantic basketball, no defense, all scoring, now he is at Citadel. This years coach Dan Earl, has a completely different style of play. He's played at Penn St and was a coach under DeChellis and you know that's a deliberate style of play. Although the game should be much closer, obviously I hope I found a game that I can sneak in a nice w.
#541 Manhattan +4 1/2 -110 (2)
Manhattan at 8-10 and 6-9 ats scoring 69.3 ppg giving up 74.7 ppg for a diff of -5.3
St. Peters at 8-9 and 10-3 ats scoring 68.0 ppg giving up 67.5 ppg for a diff of 0.5
The game drew my interest when I was looking at the diff and then the line of the game. I know absolutely nothing about either team, only what I see from the match-ups and team stats on ESPN webpage. I expected the line to be at +7 to 8. I mean St. Peters is 10-3 ats and Manhattan are 1-7 ats on the road.
What I found was a very strong trend that made this a play for me.
Manhattan are 10-0 straight up last 10 in the series and 9-1 ats in the series with a average score of 68-55. (I played it)
Manhattan has won the last 4 at St Pete's by 7, 12, 2, 22.
Now if St Peters is this good (8-9) to takeoff this team by 5 or more then I pay up.
good luck everyone
