first time in awhile in the mac where i can just say i flat out capped the wrong side. akron is simply playing great basketball right now. some big road games are comin up for them, but they are just smacking teams at the JAR. no regrets on playin ball state because theyre surging themselves, but they walked into a buzzsaw tuesday night.
very big play for me. normally reserve my strongest plays for the horizon league and the mac. but im stepping out a little bit and hitting this one hard. been waiting for this game for two weeks. and like it even more now that it's here.
providence friars (-1.5)
providence flat out pissed away the first meeting. they had boston college on the ropes. friars were up 12 with 15:00 left in the game and they blew it. they'll seal the deal on wednesday. im not saying that i like the fact that providence is struggling, but it certainly adds to the line value. when i circled this game two weeks ago, i said i would lay anything up to -5 with providence. theyve been playing like shit the last two weeks and thats dropped the line down to almost a pick. this team should be sooo much better than they are. theyve underachieved big time this year. i can certainly respect the counter argument questioning if its worth it to play on an underachieving group. but its tough to convince me that the talent on the floor and where its being played shouldnt make this a providence -4 or -5 line. im NOT saying thats what the line should be. im simply saying that if you throw out the records and simply look at the talent, providence is definitely a few baskets better than BC at home. this game can be the perfect springboard to some better play down the stretch. i know this sounds preposterous, but i really think providence is the 4th best team in the big east. theres no reason for them to be sitting at 0-4/9-8. this one has an incredible amount of value in my opinion. boston college has been dodging bullets left and right. i know the sign of a good team is the ability to win close games, but eventually that catches up with you. cant live dangerously forever. providence should win this game by 8-10 points. theyve had a full week off to prepare for this game. there is no reason they shouldnt put forth one of their best efforts of the year.
working on the mac stuff now.
