Games for Thursday. . .

[Nickelback]

Locking in on one early:

Marist +15.5 over Manhattan. . . looking for this line to come down a few points before tipoff. . . simply too many points in a rivalry game like this has become. Marist will get outrebounded and they will lose this game, but not by more than 15 points.

Waiting for Ace Rothenstein to chime in and say something like this:

"Vegas is so stupid for posting a line like this"

LOL. . . maybe he'll be on it for win #12 straight :shrug:

Adding another early:

Oregon laying 5 BIG over Stanford. . . the ultimate revenge game here. . . Oregon embarassed at Stanford a few weeks ago. Think their shooting percentage comes up huge on their own home floor and should even out the huge rebounding edge that went Stanford's way. Despite the wins over Arizona and Arizona State on the road, Stanford remains a good team. . . not a great team IMO. Oregon's only loss at home was to Arizona and I still don't know how my team won that game. Oregon has had plenty of time to get ready for this game (as have the Cardinal) and should be ready to roll at home.

Nickelback --

I'm no Ace but I do follow the MAAC and that line in the Manhattan-Marist game looks pretty fair to me. BTW it's 16 at Oly.

Marist is really bad this year and Manhattan has covered 8 of their L10.

Adding another:

Cal ML VERY BIG over Oregon State. . . ok, I honestly like this Beaver team. . . they are playing great basketball and have a lot of confidence. I played them big over UCLA. However, Cal is the better team. They are perfect ATS on the road this year. . .they were tripped up at the Arizona schools which is nothing to be ashamed over. They are due to get back on the winning ways. Oregon State has lost both games ATS as home dogs. Finally, Cal has won the last nine games played between these schools. They own the Beavers. Can't see this changing tonight.

Still looking at the rest of the Pac 10. . . don't really like the other games outside of the Pac except maybe Virginia :shrug:

Superbook,

Didn't want you to think I didn't read your post. . . I already played Marist which is why I didn't comment earlier. You are probably right as you know the MAAC much better than I do, but from my research on the game, I think the points are the right way to go in this one. Marist should be up for this game and keep it reasonable.

Last two I believe unless something else comes up:

Virginia +13.5 small over Maryland. . . Terps are due for a close game at home.

Arizona laying 12.5 over Washington. . . homer play but hey, Volfan is on it so he gave me a reason to play them (how do you like my reasoning?).

Oregon and Cal are my two top plays.

Parlay both on the ML and call it a night
