Not a lock, but If you are playing this game you need to be on Rutgers or find another game to take. This game has trap-like tendancies given that the Irish are absolutely horrible ATS, 6-14 overall, 2-8 L10. You should never lay 14 friggin points on any team whose record for its backers is so putrid. Then take a look at Rutgers last 10 games, & only 1 game did they lose by more than 14 points, otherwise they stayed close in all those losses. They are also 10-8 ATS overall, & 6-2 ATS on the road. This is a live doggy playing a false favorite laying an assload of points. The backdoor will be wide open in this play.
Not trying to sway you either way as this is your call but I like the other side of this one. The stats are what they are...but also apply common sense... Do not let a cover against Nova and Providence on the road fool you in to thinking this team is good enough to play with ND. ND will dictate this game, if they come out flat, then you have a shot, if they dont and are up for the trounce, they will win the game big and cover it easily. I tend to feel that ND feels they have something to show everyone and will use the game against Rutgers tonight to do just that. ....Just my 2 cents, I may be wrong. I am laying the pts.
i hear you. no question the irish have better shooters & if they play their game 40 minutes it looks like a cover. They may be getting fired up for the playoff run & smoke this team. But they can still smoke em & win by 14. If Notre dame keeps Rutgers hanging around it will only matter to the Irish backers, not to the players on the court.
I'm leaning towards ND here. Not only do they have to win, but
I think they need a few style points and more confidence to make it to the dance. I'm thinking they are going to destroy Rutgers by
17 or more. Currently have it as a lean...not sure yet if I will make it a play due to such a high number.
For Villanova vs. Depaul it is a bit different. Depaul is super horrible giving up 20 at home. With how Villanova shoots and how their road record is that is a Nova pick

those of you who read my thread, then still back Notre Dame, i dont know what to say to you.
there is a difference between an overall win %, & the ATS win %. I am advising you that Notre Dame, on the quest of winning ATS dollars, is a PIECE OF SHIT. Yet people are still stuck in the mind set that a blowout is destined, its safe to play. No its not. Notre Dame is a CASH COW for the bookies. & yet they throw out a 14 point line, & still plenty of players line up to give the bookie another great chance to steal their money. What word is there other than sucker to describe this?
Sorry. I can only try to keep you off a possible trap. You might get this one, but there will be another 14 point line out there waiting to get your money.

lol we got one guy saying rutgers is a trap the other saying nd is a trap, i would have to think the big name team would normally be the trap myself, i agree with what jdub is saying, nd is a cash cow for the books, they keep throwing out ridiculous lines on there games and people are still taking them.
