IN an attempt to help this board (and my bankroll), I am only going to handicap SEC gmaes for the rest of the season. I usually do not post picks, but I feel if I concentrate on one conference, then it will help my record of late. Not posted but not good. I will attempt to be an asset for the remainder of the Men's hoop seasons. good luck to all.
The only game on the slate for the SEC tonight is not a headliner by any stretch of the definition. The visiting Privateers of New Orleans from the Sun Belt conference bring with them one major talent to deal with. Venezualan Hector Romero has led the team in scoring in 15 of their 23 games. He has led or co-led in rebounds 18 of 23 and in assists 5 times. NO can put points on the board but will struggle against the talent and depth of the Gators. Romero should be able to keep pace with Bonner (14.3 ppg), and if he gets help from his guards, Smith (14.0 ppg) and Meredith (41% 3pt), the overmatched Privateers should be able to keep pace with the 22 spotted.
Florida has been on a little skid as of late and this will probably cause many people to side with them looking for a annhilation of the lowly Privateers. I believe Donovan will have his boys focused and also use this game to see what kind of talent he has on the bench going into the final stretch.
I also like the fact that with the O/U at 140.5, NO will need to topple 59 points to give a guaranteed break-even taking New Orleans and the over. With Florida's running game, I like the chances of playing these two in conjunction looking for a clean sweep.
The stat that can not be overcome is if Romero gets into early foul trouble which Bonner has the smarts to attempt. Barring this occurrence, I see a push on the action at worst.
Action:
New Orleans +22 1 unit
NO/FLA O 140' 1 unit.

To answer your question, I play 1-3 unit plays. I would say 90% of my plays are made at the 1 unit level.
