Friday Ball

[Mr. Poon]

Bad day yesterday, looking for a few small plays to help right the ship before heading into the weekend.

Updated Record:

Season Overall 71-55-5 (+17.5 units)

Favs 24-20-2 (+7.45 units)
Dogs 19-17-2 (+1.65 units)
Overs 10-8-1 (-2.5 units)
Unders 18-10 (+10.9 units)

I typically hate em, but a couple of road fav?s stick out to me:

Loyola-MD -2.5 ? 1 unit ? loss - Simply looking for one of the conference favorites to play to their potential and get the road victory against a still struggling Iona club and cover this small #. The Greyhounds have shot really bad in their last two games, and I look for them to get back on track tonight.

Oregon State -2.5 ? 1 unit ? WIN- make no mistake, Beavers are a bad team. They are a really bad team without their best player (Giles) which they have been without and will be without tonight. However, even w/o Giles, they have shown this year they are a good rebounding team and their better size will lead to a victory over UC Davis. Jones and Schaftenaar will have big nights for the Beavers. Also UC Davis doesn?t play good D, so that will help aid an Oregon State that has shot only 36% :scared so far this year.

Iona/Loyola Over 137.5 ? 1 unit ? WIN - see this one in the 140?s. Both teams are rested for a week and ready to run tonight.

The St. Peter?s line has gotten pretty high and is now intriguing. May play it if it goes a bit higher.

if manhattan gets to -8.0 i'm gonna go for a small middle play with MAN -5.5 & STP +8.0... don't think it'll get that high, it'll sit at 6.5 i think. but we'lllll seeeee.

 

[Mr. Poon]

It's at 7 right now at a couple of places. Think it still has a chance to move a bit more, but usually when I expect a line to move one way, it doesn't or reverses.

 

[tig3rs]

i see that. lots of movement today. think it's the small number of games offered causing the concentration which is moving the lines... OR... vegas let it be intern day and let them set the lines and they're gettin hammered! :-D either way... go loyola-md!

 

[Double Two]

Good Luck and GO BEAVERS!!!:yup

 

[Mr. Poon]

bodog has the peacocks at a line high enough for me. adding:

St. Peters +7.5 - 1 unit - WIN - they've played tough competition so far and can keep this one close imo. These are two teams that both will struggle to just break into the upper tier of the conference this year. I think a close game is in store.

 

[Mr. Poon]

3-1 for +1.9 units tonight. See you guys tomorrow.
