complete saturday card for now:
3 units....kent state (-7) over ohio
3 uints....butler (-3) over detroit
2 units....uconn moneyline (+115) over boston college
2 units....michigan state (pk) over ohio state
really love kent state in this spot. everyone is "off the bandwagon" because theyve been a money burner for the most part this year. but this is prime spot to catch them when theyre undervalued. as much as i want to believe in the bobcats- history says they cannot put b2b solid efforts together on the road. and kent has had one FULL week to rest up, refocus, and look to atone for their pathetic performance vs akron last week. a few weeks ago, this line would have been 11 or 11.5. dont write the flashes off yet. they should dominate this game today.
normally dont get excited about chalks, but heres another one i really like. butler aint gonna be fu/cking around here. detroit is off a track meet game yesterday (whens the last time someone has seen detroit play a 98-84 game?) and now the titans have to come back 24 hours later and play an extremely disciplined butler team. the bulldogs were bounced from the conference tourney in the 1st round last year- and had to spend to whole offseason thinking about it because the selection committee passed them over for an at large bid to the dance. i just dont see butler losing. theyre senior-heavy, they know they gotta win the horizon tourney to remove any "doubt", and they catch detroit off a track meet game that could wear the titans down in the 2h today
