    THURSDAY

    my most recent above post obviously has nothing to do with wash/ore or unranked vs. ranked. its just more general handicapping. basically, its like people dont want to believe that there are a ton of bad numbers out there on games every week. it doesnt mean that you go put a blindfold on and...

    THURSDAY

    to take it a step further, a guy like nickelback is a sharp handicapper. ive known that for the handful of yrs ive been on the forum. he knows his basketball. but there are so many people who just mindfu.ck themselves into thinking the books 'know something' in a sport where there are 20, 30...

    THURSDAY

    i actually had to go back and search your post on indy/illinois because i dont ever recall 'tearing you up' (<- what the fu.ck?) over illinois and indy. i simply said i disagreed with the contention that 'the books know something'. guys who dont have faith in their handicapping are the ones who...

    THURSDAY

    its just not what it once was. vegas is installing too many 'false favorites' over the last year or two. there are teams that really dont have any business being favored, yet as soon as vegas installs them as -1.5 or -2, lots of general trend players make plays on games they normally would...

    that is fast becoming one of the bigger myths in college hoops gambling.

    THURSDAY

    the reason washington is favored is because they are strong at home. the problem, however, is that they are not good right now. washington will be a popular play. but people are going to really be gambling with a fragile team.

    Wednesday -Buff again

    once again, its gonna come down to taking care of the ball. toledo forced 33 turnovers against northern illinois on sunday. their guards are the best in the mac as a group and are incredibly quick. buffalo near the bottom of d-1 in turnovers. one area where buffalo should have an advantage is...

    Tuesday CBB 1/23

    its not that i disagree with the play at all. i just dont buy the 'book knows something' part because the book has continually put out bad numbers on wisky gms this year and overrated their home court. the outcome of tonights game is inconsequential. illinois is a bad team. at some point, they...

    Tuesday CBB 1/23

    the book doesnt know a damn thing because they keep giving way too much credit to a bad illinois team. illinois was essentially +2/-2 in the following gms at home vs maryland vs ohio state vs wisconsin the book was 'supposed to know something' in all 3 of those games. heres what i know...

    Sunday

    akron just effin steamrolls teams at home. i was at the akron/ub game last year at the jar and buffalo just looked lost. and that was with cage. i want to believe that buffalo can hang this number but its just a dicey proposition. the one thing working in buffalo's favor is that akron is coming...

    Airportis' Picks for Thursday 1/18/07 via Blastoff System

    actually bgfalcon was the originator of this renowned system. and hes threatened to take it back many times. then we laughed over a few beers about how silly it would be if he made threats over the 'net to deprive people of access this empirical data.

    Airportis' Picks for Wednesday 1/17/07 via Blastoff System

    if your toughest break ever is a team that was down double digits with under 1:00 left ... and didnt come in the backdoor for ya .... then consider yourself very fortunate not to endure some real gut wrenchers.

    colts to get monkey off back

    id be very surprised if either afc team were favored by more than 4.5 against either opponent. san diego, imo, was the team that would have been a solid TD chalk over the nfc. but not new england or indy. 4.5 at most no matter who wins these conference champ games

    Looks like Virginia is the play tomorrow..

    virginia with home wins against arizona and gonzaga. maryland hasnt played a road game in a month. what did you expect the line to be? if maryland were favored on the road THAT would look screwy.

    San Diego -5 at LMU

    san francisco couldnt put lmu away because, well ... thats san francisco for you. the dons are inconsistent although very talented. but it was pretty obvious that lmu had no business being in the game. any time kellogg wanted to penetrate, he could. right now, lmu just has zero confidence. and...

    San Diego -5 at LMU

    i dont want any part of usd on the road laying points. but i know i sure as hell dont want any part of lmu on any court right now. you could give me 10 with lmu in this game and i wouldnt feel comfortable. not because san diego is anything special. but because lmu is just atrocious without...

    San Diego -5 at LMU

    this is one of those games where the line is dropping (from 5 to 3.5) but there is absolutely nothing 'sharp' about playing loyola marymount. with the current state of this team, you either bet their opponent or you pass the game altogether. the linesmaker simply has not been able to accurately...

    Saturdays March towards the Madness

    in no particular order: ..... have been owned by detroit in the last 5 years, both in regular season and horizon tourney. ..... lost at home to the worst team in the horizon (uw-milwaukee) ..... scored 9 points in the 2nd half against uw-green bay last week .... lost to chicago state at...

    did you see washington's execution (or lackthereof) in the final 5:00 of the stanford game? just atrocious. they shoulda won the game outright. instead, they needed a brockman tip-in just to get the backdoor cover. romar's plays out of timeouts are a joke. and allowing his players (appleby...
