    troy @ s ala

    s ala +8: think the jaguars are a solid play tonight catching 8 @ home in a season make or break game. sala sits 0-3 in conference play, but they've beaten miss st in starksville, upset a pretty good sdst team in mobile, and should have beaten ark st last week, but 2 to's turned the game around...

    ecu @ cincy

    here's a game that has a lot of interesting factors. bearcats have just been shunned by the big 12 expansion committee (or will be at 5:30 this evening in the worst kept secret in college football). ecu had an unanticipated bye because of the flooding from hurricane matthew in a two week stretch...

    FIU @ UNC-C (wagering on bad football redux)

    UNC-C +5: years ago I used to post a weekly bet in a game featuring 2 bad teams squaring off. it started as a laugh but actually showed a profit over its duration. as a nostalgia bit, I'm making the call on the 49ers Saturday. its homecoming in charlotte, but not just any homecoming . charlotte...

    so miss @ lsu

    so im reading the article below that I cut and pasted out of the Hattiesburg newspaper and im thinking, I know id be pissed if my team just got waxed by utsa as 17 pt favorites. then I see that lsu has ole miss on deck and Alabama after that. I know the tigers are coming off a bye but this just...

    notre dame @ nc state

    So here i sit in a quandry. Being a faithful wolfpack alum, I am aware that state has a mediocre team this year, and a tendency of late of blowing their biggest games of the year. As a sports bettor, my emphasis has always been on watching line moves and handicapping off the action rather than...

    two thursday plays

    a couple of plays tonight that are situational in nature . coastal Carolina -3: coastal, like most of tonight's home teams, carries a significant home court edge, this year 13-3 in Conway. coach cliff ellis has turned coastal into a perennial post season player. gc antelopes in a touchy travel...

    ul-monroe @ furman

    furman pk: first pick of the postseason, where handicapping science gives way to handicapping art. until the second half of Sunday's sun belt championship game, the warhawks were focused on tourney crown and the automatic bid to the ncaa dance that it brought. 20 minutes later, they were 20...

    utc @ vmi

    big mismatch for the final socon game of the regular season, but not much of a betting opportunity. both these teams are locked into their tournament games regardless of tonight's outcome. vmi will play samford friday afternoon; the winner of that game will become cannon fodder for utc's 1st...

    good morning box and one

    doesn't iona smoke canisius today on aj english's senior day? they blew them out @ the hynes center 3 weeks ago and, from what I see, canisius hasn't covered as a conference dog this season. and I see where they've had some travel delay flying into nyc from upstate on jet blue (imagine that)...

    socon sunday

    western Carolina and vmi come through yesterday; today brings the last socon regular season game with mercer visiting the unc-g Spartans. anyone who's been reading my socon write-ups knows the adversity the mercer bears have faced this month so I won't repeat it here. they've now lost the last...

    socon saturday

    I'm cautiously optimistic about today's socon card. some of the games look too good to be true, but I see no serious red flags in the lines or the action so I'm forging ahead. furman @ western carolina: furman's historical road woes have returned this season. paladins currently stand 2-6 s/u on...

    socon thursday

    rough day for my plays yesterday as Tulane plays dead for ecu and the wolfpack fizzles out once again. only my pack can turn a 12 point lead into a 7 point deficit in about 6 minutes. but I digress, on to tonight's socon games. Wofford @ western Carolina: this game appears to offer the most...

    unc @ ncsu

    okay, okay . . . a casual glance at my avatar will tell you where my loyalties lie tonight but I would feel remiss if I didn't offer something up about this game. I will say this - I don't think this is a high quality unc team by their standards. that is to say, I don't see them in the sweet 16...

    ecu @ tulane

    do't look now, but it appears that the pirates are done for the year. they last won (twice) the last week of January. since then, they've lost 6 in a row. they're 2-11 on the road, 2-12 in the aac, the two wins being those mentioned above. leading scorer bj tyson (14.6 ppg) has scored 23 total...

    rhode island @ davidson

    Davidson is a classic bubble team, floating around the middle of the atlantic 10 conference with a respectable 16-9 record, but no real statement wins that would help them with the committee. they do feature one of the country's premier players in jack gibbs, who currently sits around 2nd or 3rd...

    iona @ sienna

    yesterday featured what considered a really sharp play on the under in the northeastern/hofstra game, along with probably my worst play of the hoops season, boston college +8. the eagles produced one of the ugliest halves of major college basketball that i have had the misfortune to bet on and...

    northeastern @ hofstra

    northeastern @ Hofstra: started looking at this game thinking to side with the pride, but then I got distracted by the 149 total. last game was set @ 152. Hofstra won 96-92 but that game went 3 ot's, regulation ended 65-65. Hofstra is still in the mix for the conference regular season title so...

    bc @ wake

    help me out madjackers. wake is giving 8 today to the eagles, less than 48 hours after danny manning announces that 6'7" soph swingman Cornelius Hudson has been dismissed from the team and 6'9" center devon Thomas has been suspended for two games, for the old catchall "violation of team rules."...
