Friday's games

[Nickelback]

Ok, didn't think I'd even see anything I liked for Friday, but have one and maybe two:

Loyola Marymount +4 over Virginia average play

Things to consider for this one. . .

1. Both teams played Tuesday

2. Game will be played at 10pm Virginia time (maybe 11pm but I think 10pm. . . works either way).

3. Virginia has to travel cross country.

4. Its the holiday season with finals.

No chance the Cavs are exactly ready for this game. . . when have they had time? Perfect spot for Vegas to catch some extra public money before Saturday and this is it.

Looking at Fresno State as well but may just stick with this one.

Nickleback I'm going to bed now but I'm going to look hard at this one tomorrow. Hope you don't mind if I post what I comre up with.

 

[Nickelback]

No, please do so. . . I'd like to know the numbers you come up with.

that virginia/lmu game is intriguing but hard to cap at the same time. should be a very good game, but can kind of make a case for both sides. virginia always has lots of talent, but never a ton of discipline. i refer to them as "billet and the boyz" because its hilarious to see a white kid who knows how to play the game, lead a team, and shoot the lights out play alongside a bunch of raw brothers with little team concept who are just out to get theirs. personally, ive always loved backing virginia as an underdog but laying points with them is a no-no. tons of talent with the cavs, but their game vs james madison on tuesday was a microcosm for their program. up by as many as 28 in the 2h and then shut it down and win by 10. they put it on cruise control too often. if they take lmu lightly, theyll lose. that being said, im not sure lmu matches up well with virginia. unless bo kimble suits up, they could have some problems. youre right, heavy public choices on short friday cards are normally suicide though.

Nickleback line has dropped to 2.5!!
Good that you got it at 4.. I will actually on the other side at -2.5 maybe we will both win. My ratings come up 49 - 32 for the cavs.
2.5 looks like a decent line for me based on those numbers. Good luck to both of us.

80% of the public is on Virginia yet the line has dropped to 3 and 2.5 at some places. . . hmmmmm. Adding just a little extra on +3 and making this and above average play

Saturday should be fun!
