Oldmans Pick For Tuesday 2/3/04

[oldmanTED]

Coming off an 0-1 day yesterday losing with Air Force. Back today with one play only.

Duly respect well coached Seminoles playing conference game at home, but believe the athletic talent of the Yellowjackets should be enough to overcome the small impost. Hence,

1* Georgia Tech -1

Overall Unit Record YTD: (88-70.5) 55.52% 5*(1-0)(+5.0) 3*(8-4)(+10.8) 1*(59-52-2)(+1.7)
Overall W/L Record YTD: (68-56-2) 54.84%
NCAAB Record YTD: (26-32-1)(-9.4)
NBA Record YTD: (7-4)(+4.6)
NCAAF Record YTD: (21-8)(+22.0) (Final Bowl Game Record 19-8 Included)
NFL Record YTD: (14-12-1)(+0.3)

Plays are rated 1*-5*

Good Luck All.

good luck ted, i lost af last night as well... ive got 3 nhl games going tonight but no hoops as of yet.. wanted your thoughts on kent/fla tonight, im leaning KY +4.5.. got to step out but will read them before tipoff..

we must stay small until we get hot..

careful with kentuck.....UF real strong at home and kentuck real weak away....My Gators should cover as long as they show up..

SSI:

My lean is to Kentucky as well but am concerned about the lack of depth of the Wildcats. They have shown an ability to take the lead in games but due to their lack of depth, have tired at the end of road conference games. Examples: Mississippi State, Tennessee and Vanderbilt.

Have done well playing against Florida this year particularly in road conference games, but this is the Gators biggest game of the year and they should be up for this and do have depth. At times they can be inconsistent but they play much better at home. Tough call because the points are enticing.

The only other team I have a lean on is Cincinnati as I think the Bearcats just have a great deal more talent inside and outside than Xavier. Problem is, I don't like laying a heavy impost on the road in a non conference game in the middle of conference play. These two played last year with Xavier winning 50-44 but they had David West. Cincinnati is coming off an unexpected loss to Charlotte, so Huggins should have them focused. Another tough call laying 6.5 on the road.

As you said, need to stay small until we pick up steam. Went 4-2 Saturday, had no plays on Sunday, but didn't post on this forum, but did on another, because I wanted to wait until the conclusion of the Superbowl before beginning to start posting hoops again at the RX.

Good luck with whatever you decide tonight.

ted, my entire card for everything is in NHL forum. take a look, it could be great fade material..

Kent has beaten florida the last 5 times, kent has won 10 of last 11 road sec games, just food for thought.. Miss st defeated florida handily at florida..

SSI:

Don't like to hear you saying anything negative about your plays. Would never even consider fading any of your plays. Just going through a tough stretch.

Points on the game tonight are excellent. With Kentucky, you always know what you're going to get. An all out effort with tough defense that will play you to the end. I was actually surprised that the line moved up this morning but seems to be coming back down with money coming in a bit on Kentucky. You'll get no argument from me if you play the Cats.

ted won my indiana play, sitting now with ky+4 for the remainder of college bb today.. any thoughts on halftime?

 

[oldmanTED]

SSI;

Think you're looking good with +4.5. If I were to play, I would either add with +2.5 or Under 74.
