Saturday plays. . .

[Nickelback]

Apologize about not posting last night. . . wasn't feeling 100% but feel much better this morning. Only going with big plays today. . . small plays lately have absolutely killed me. So only big and very big plays:

UMass +3 VERY BIG over Temple. . . UMASS has only won a single game ATS the past 10 games and Temple is not much better even though taking 3 of the past 4. But UMass should still be favored at home. Take the points or the ML and sit back knowing you have great value here.

Michigan laying 4 BIG over Iowa. . . not as big as UMass obviously, but who has Iowa played on the road this year? They do have some decent road wins even though they have only played 5 on the road the entire year, but not against good teams IMO. I still feel the Wolves are a good team especially at home. . . they are coming off two difficult road games so should be ready to get back on the winning ways this afternoon.

Will post again very shortly but need to cap a couple other games first.

Man I hate seeing you on UMass. Oh well, good luck. Playing
some of the Mich. See anything else?

IOWA beat Tulsa on the road when they were a top 15 team.

 

[Nickelback]

Iahawk,

Doesn't matter what Tulsa was rated IMO. . . also, Tulsa lost to SMU at home. . . cmon!

I could care less what newspaper writers thought, what matters is how good the team really is and Tulsa is not a good team.

Here's another:

Minnesota pk VERY BIG over Purdue. . . line is low due to how Purdue has played at home. Well, they are on the road now despite wins at Penn State and Iowa, I think Minnesota is a much better home team than those other Big 10 teams. Unless I state otherwise, this is my big play of the day.

 

[Nickelback]

Providence laying 1 BIG over UCONN. . . system play. . . UCONN hasn't left the locker room past two games, why will they tonight :shrug:

 

[Nickelback]

Nice for Michigan to come back and get that cover. . .

Adding Wyoming laying 2.5 big over BYU. . . BYU has struggled on the road. . .Wyoming playing well despite the loss to SDSU. Should win this one at home and get the cover for us.

Opinion Play Only:

Ole Miss +3 over Kentucky. . . I just can't pull the trigger here with Kentucky playing so well. I'm not willing to bet their streak ends here. But GMoney is right in that this line looks very funny and the value is with the home dog. Normally I'd bet right along with G here, but just can't do it this time.

 

[Nole]

System play on Providence doesn't hut none does it N-back?

[Nickelback]

Not at all buddy. . . I like it a lot but won't play it too high!

 

[Innavation]

hey nickel how do you feel about WVU at home catching 4 pts. I see g-money is on them----Wvu a good home team---but Syracuse is very talented---For me its either WVU or no play---what is your take??

 

[Nickelback]

Adding a couple more for later tonight:

Eastern Michigan +2 BIG over Toledo. . .feel like the wrong team is favored here. Problem is the line looks funny to me which means Vegas might know a little more than I do about this matchup. Still gonna play it big, just not too big.

California +7 VERY BIG over Oregon. . . Cal has covered the last five games between these teams and have won four of the past five. Not much else to go off of except I believe Cal is the 2nd best team in the Pac 10 and not Oregon. Tough to go against Oregon at home, but not with 7 points and the better team. Very small play on the ML +245.

 

[Innavation]

I'm looking at eastern Michigan as well---Hellah on Toledo---That is the only reason i have not played Eastern---In the air.

 

[Nickelback]

The difference is that Hellah is a big time Toledo fan! Just remember that when considering this game.

 

[pokesfan]

love the Cal play.
good luck nickel

 

[Innavation]

i know-----i'm looking hard-----probaly will play Eastern.
