    Late games

    5-1 on yesterday's posted plays as Alabama missed by a 1/2 point Virginia +6.5 UVa has played some solid teams in Kentucky (beat them), Georgetown (beat them), and lost at Mich St and Indiana (neutral ct). NCSt beat South Carolina but actually trailed for most of that game. They lost to...

    Sat Jan 4

    DAYTON--thought they gave Duke a tough game at Duke. It was a 7 pt game or so w/around 2:30 left. Marquette has a definite home/road dichotemy. Louisville--looking really solid lately and they've played solid D (41% FGA). They've also shown huge improvement at the FT line this year...

    Big Ten title game wasn't needed

    Ohio State was the real deal and Iowa looked like a total fraud. Offense may get the attention but you still win with defense. And maybe the Big Ten detractors will swallow their words for the first time since 1999.

    Tuesdsay scheduling play

    Youngstown St +11 Loyola is coming off playing 3 games in a tournament in Charlotte over the weekend. This will be the 4th game in 5 days, something difficult for NBA teams but almost unheard of for college teams. Youngstown's road struggles are well documented but the team is 4-1 ATS this...

    A few totals

    GB/Jets UNDER 40--the field was in bad shape for Saturday's game and only figures to be worse. The conditions certainly didn't help the offenses on Saturday and figure to nullify speed. Atl/Cleve OVER 41--Falcons D has given up 34 or more in 4 different road games. They are fast but...

    A pair of live home dogs

    CHICAGO +4.5--a qualifier on the Feist angle, which is take any home dog who's last game was at home and was a SU loss. The Bulls are 9-5 at home so they cannot be tossed out. It also helps San Ant played on the road last night, and was involved in a stressful 2 pt game. MILWAUKEE +4--simple...

    Back door open once again in Charlotte

    Not bitter; I learned my lesson on this team in January of 1999 seeing them blow a 30 plus pt lead (as a 7.5 pt chalk to Memphis) to hang on for a 5 pt win. Going back to 1998-99 here's the evidence. Draw your own conclusions: 12/5/98 -7 vs Va Tech, won by 5 12/29/98 -5 vs Hawaii, won by 2...

    Contenders & pretenders

    AFC Contenders: 1.Oakland--other than that midseason 4 game slump, its hard to argue against them 2.Tennessee--hot as any team in the league right now. If they weren't so banged up, I'd consider them higher than Oakland 3.Pittsburgh--this isn't an overreaction to Monday's nights beating of...

    Watching games we bet

    I guess I've gambled long enough, that except for the NFL, I really can't stand to watch games I bet on. Maybe its been sports overload, but the handicapping is the best part. Some of these toilet bowl games and NBA games are absolutely painful to watch. Better off spending time with the...

    Kudos to Philly and Turf Paradise

    for being the only tracks to have the guts to race on December 24. A perfect day to run; many people are off of work; most people don't get together w/their families until nighttime....why not run?? I know I'll be betting Philly tomorrow afternoon.

    BYU/San Fran

    A good game for contrarians; BYU is either 8-1 ATS or 8-0-1 depending on the closing Creighton line while San Fran is 0-5 ATS. BYU has a huge edge in def. FG% 36.8% to 45.3% and an even bigger edge in 3 pt shooting 49% to 29%. But a closer look at BYUs games and most of the covers were by 1 or...

    Pro Football Weekly as go-against

    Two unanimous selections by them this week: All 11 selectors chose Tampa and Tennessee. 10 of the 11 took Philly, and interestingly, 9 of the 11 took San Fran based on a spread of -7, 3 full pts higher than the current line. 9 of 11 liked San Diego also. Using them as a fade, the plays would...

    Richmond/Providence

    Providence -4.5 A rare 3 game in 4 nights situation here as Richmond flew out to Northern Cal for games on Monday and Tuesday, then flies all the way back to Providence for Thursday night's game. Have to take the much more rested home team here.

    Toronto/Chicago

    CHICAGO -8.5 Have the Bulls turned the corner? Not as a contender, but as a team going from very bad to respectable at home. I'm a bit biased, since I see all their games but I do see some progress here. True, they haven't learned to win on road (1-12 SU) but the recent home stand has been...

    Home dogs

    are 55-46 (54.5%) ATS this season. Home dogs coming off a SU loss at home have been a solid play the past few years. NY +4.5 and Minny +2.5 both qualify tonight.

    Depaul/Notre Dame

    Notre Dame -13 DePaul is much improved this season. Simply getting rid of Kennedy should've insured that. But despite losing 3 starters, Notre Dame appears stronger than last season. The key here is the competition each has faced: DePaul has beaten up on the likes of Ohio, Fairfield, Central...
