the line for this game should have come about 2-3 - but having said that - if it did i was gonna POUND utah state - for they WILL win this game
but i do give the bookmakers some credit here for making a line that does what it is supposed to do - make you think before playing the game
as i said - utah state WILL win this game - but by how much? i HATE teasing basketball games but for those who like doing so - teasing USU to -2 is a SOLID start to the teaser
btw - fullerton should steamroll long beach saturday. they are giving LB 4 points for HCA when LB has ZERO HCA and actaully - the fullerton fans might make more noise than the LB fans saturday for this game is a 5P (PST) start so it can be shown on FSN2. game might be close for 20 minutes but fullerton tightens the screws the last 20 minutes and SHOULD (key word) win easily.

i agree with you winky. i misread my numbers and i do make utah state a 2.5 pt fav so your right on. and i have fullerton as a strong 5 pt fav too and im following you on this one. do you like irvine? i havent seen a line yet but they look strong at home vs riverside. email me if you see this winky if not i'll email you. ~RG

irvine -9ish is what i see. as for them - this is real simple. even though i live less than 10 miles from the campus - this is the ONE team i am clueless on. i think they will get killed in the game - and they win by 20. i think they will win by 20 - they get killed. because of this - i simply stopped playing their games. i know no matter what side i take in their game i will lose - so i simply don't bother playing any side of their game and it has saved me A LOT of money already this season. irvine is the most scizoid team in all of college hoops! as for the game - irvine isn't 8-9 points better than just about anyone in the BW - but since morton went out for UCR they have been clueless. i will say UCR's first game after morton went out was a homie with irvine and the KILLED irvine so maybe - just maybe - if irvine gets the chance to return the favor and lay out UCR they will - but you'll almost never get me laying (almost) 2B digits with irvine!
as for the USU/UOP line starting @ 6.5 and now @ 8.5
this is almost getting to the point where they are "forcing" me to take UOP here. USU is good - but look at who UOP has played - and where they have played them and they don't get blown out by anyone.
as roxy and i said - this line should be about 2-3 but if i am going to get about 3 baskets more than that i am almost forced to play UOP here. i am taking off to ref some games @ 8A (PST) and when i get back about 1:30P if this line is still 8-9 i will have no choice but to play UOP.

This game looks like it's shaping up similiar to last year's scenario where UT lost @ Pac 60-64 and this year 66-73 in 2 ot. Then when they played @ UTSt the Aggies won 66-51, so I can see how the opening number came about but as for what is happening now somebody must have some inside info or something to push the line to where it is now. Although since that loss to Pacific and an ensuing hangover loss to Northridge the Aggies have a 7-0 ATS run going with wins of 24,25,25,31,24,30 and 30 points. I would say that is one team on a mission. GL to all whichever you go. ROD:howdy:
