sunday ncaa......

these should cap a 1-0,1-0,1-0,1-1,4-1 week
(now up slightly for the year. inside joke)

marshall (+7) over western michigan

cincinnati moneyline (+165) over wake forest

*marshall always worth a look as a home dog vs elite mac foes. this is truly a team that play up/down to their competition. theyre a shit team on the road, but at home- they can be a very live dog. wmu has been a road machine this year, but i dont think this chalk is justified.

*am hearing theres a little dissention at wake right now. strickland in prosser's doghouse and not likely to get out anytime soon. danelius has been inconsistent. just not a particularly cohesive unit. they got it done at clemson, but its gonna take a much better effort than that to get it done here. i just think cincy is tougher. normally, this is a kind of spot where id back wake, but just not hearing good things and cincy is an opponent that gives them trouble. cats win it in my opinion

lvinnel:

im hardly omniscient -- i could be dead wrong and wake could win this game by 8 or 10. theyve certainly got the talent to do it. appreciate the 'respect' but youre not holding onto a worthless ticket by any means. we'll see how it plays out. gl bud

G,
The gift of a good capper is their ability to know the "other things" besides the numbers. That would include knowledge of matchups to exploit, info on team chemistry, effects of injuries, if any, ect....that information is priceless. I certainly do appreciate your analysis because, although not omniscent, it helps tilt the odds from 50/50 to a clear and deciscive choice. That is what we all want before we lay and $$ on the table...
