I haven't had the time to post much this year, and for that I am sorry. I really like the card today, but its a little scary as I like a lot of road teams.
Here are the ones I like most:
Loy Chi +8.5
Bradley +2
Oklahoma -5
Harvard +6.5
Buffalo PK
Baylor +14
N.Iowa -4.5
WKY -5
Kentucky ML
Leans on
Rice -6
AS far as the Hoosiers go, its to tough one for me to call. The all time series is in Indiana's favor 90-64, but BIG DEAL. Indiana has won two of the last three meetings, four of the last six and are 6-4 in the last 10 in this series. Indiana has won the last 2 times it has visited Iowa City. The Road Team has won 5 of the last 7 games. Alford is 4-6 vs. Indiana.
Indiana is 4-2 in conference and has won seven of its last nine games overall. They are 7-3 at home while only 1-4 on the road. Iowa on the other hand is 10-1 at home losing to Michigan, but only 2-4 in conference play. Indiana is 3-3 ATS on the road but 8-2 ATS in the LAST 10. Iowa on the other hand is 3-7 ATS in the LAST 10 and 3-7 ATS at HOME!
Both teams really need this game. Indiana has to have it to stay above .500 and needs to prove that it can win on the road. Iowa can't afford to go 2-5 in Conference play and really can't afford to lose its second conference game at home. 8 Points is A LOT OF POINTS to give the Hoosiers considering that the 4 Iowa wins in the last 10 games played in this series are by (2, 2, 2, and 5). Alford would like nothing more then to beat his alma mater, but he has probably felt that way in each of his 4-6 record games against them.
The lack of offense that IU has shown time and time again against a pretty good defense in Iowa playing at home would have me lean Iowa's way, but IU has people who can score (Wright, White, Vaden, Strickland). IMO these teams match up better then the lines makers are saying 8 points!!!
I would Play the Hoosiers +8 for a small play, and would look a taking half of that small play and taking a shot on the ML considering the 5 of the last 7 road teams have won in this series.
