Thursday Ball

[Mr. Poon]

Another ho-hum day yesterday going 2-3 losing 1.3

Season Overall 16-17-2 (-4.25 units)

Favs 6-7-1 (-4.7 units)
Dogs 3-5 (-3.05 units)
Overs 5-2-1 (+3.8 units)
Unders 2-3 (-0.3 units)


First play:

Providence -6 ? 1 Unit ? Temple could have easily lost by 30 to the Vols as Tennessee was sloppy in that win. Providence is an average team, but in their opener on their home court, they can cover this number.

Another ho-hum day yesterday going 2-3 losing 1.3 units. Will update season record later.

First play:

Providence -6 ? 1 Unit ? Temple could have easily lost by 30 to the Vols as Tennessee was sloppy in that win. Providence is an average team, but in their opener on their home court, they can cover this number.

They are in Puerto Rico, not at home....

 

[Mr. Poon]

oops - that's what I get for doing such a quick analysis. I deserve that loss for being so hasty.

 

[Mr. Poon]

Starting the day in the negative as Providence came back to pull out the victory but was never in position to cover.

Stanford -8 ? 3 Units ? even without Brook Lopez, Stanford will be able to handle a terrible Wildcat team. Northwestern is questionably the worst team in the Big Ten and their home gym provides zilch in terms of home court advantage. Stanford already has 3 non-exhibition games under their belts (all covers) while Northwestern has just had an exhibition game. Easy double-digit win here.

Other Plays

Clemson +4 ? 1 Unit ? Clemson has slightly better talent and I think they can cover the small # on the road.

Memphis/Okla. Over 150.5 ? 1 Unit ? Capel will oblige and run with Calipari

Memphis/Okla Over 1H 71.5 ? 1 Unit

 

[Mr. Poon]

Adding 2H Over in Memphis/Okla game 75 - 1 Unit

Both teams are shooting poorly. Both teams will be scoring as OU will be in chase mode down by 10.

 

[Mr. Poon]

Adding a degenerate play on Oregon State to close out the line. 1 Unit -6.5. Rams are a bad team this year. New coach, very young and a lot of more big losses in their future unfortunately.
