Top Play.......MAAC

[Stag]

1-0 YTD top plays (thanks to the Stags outright win)

Rider +15

......line appears a bit inflated here. Manhattan might be looking ahead just a bit to Fairfield (I'll be at that game if anyone wants to meet up)
Something about the Jaspers still irks me...........maybe it was that dismal loss to St. Pete's in Rosedale. And Rider still might be too good of a team to pass up getting this many points.
I'll bite and hope for a close game or backdoor cover.

Good to see you here.

Personally I'm saving my money tonite but I'm really looking forward to Thursday night's game.

Any early thoughts?

Stag,you made a good pt.But I think Bobby G has his kids playing on high octane.
And Mahattan is in Riverdale.Fordham is Rose Hill.I think you got the Rose and Dale mixed up.
It should be a great game between the Jaspers and Stags.Your coach O'Toole went to my HS and coached one of my kids in the Empire St games when he was an asst. at the Point.I'm really glad he doing good.
GL tonite.But I think you lose..Have a great time at the game.I might go see Marist play Siena on the 26th.
What the line on Thur's game? Who is the favorite???

Jon-
I like Manhattan's backcourt much more than Fairfield's. But the Stags' inside game could be the difference.
If the Jaspers are getting two points or more,would have to play them. It's weird.........both teams seem to play well on the road. Draddy has a much better home-court edge than Harbor Yard. LOL.........Fairfield has to travel to Bridgeport for home games. Stags have played several close home games this year........so probably going to take the points (assuming Fairfield is a small favorite)

How about Yale last night? Losing to ARMY?! They've been a great early season fade. My dad told me they were LISTLESS both games this past week. They were not playing good ball b4 the accident, now even worse.

Start getting your Ivy shit together........let's work to make a bundle this winter.

Stag,
i think you are right..line is a little inflated...books probably getting killed on Manhattan.

Box and One--
ya........I combined Fordham and Manhattan....LOL........two great places to watch games. Thanks.
Also, I have been reading your posts for the last month or so......very solid picks! You add a lot of insight to this forum,and I thank you for that.
I kinda keep quiet until conference play starts. You and Superbook are two cappers I really respect and look forward to each day. Please keep up the good work...........you and Superbook.
I always say "You can make (or lose) as much money on betting on the MAAC or Ivy's as you can on the Super Bowl."
Let's compare notes and kick ass the next two months!

P.S.....I don't LOVE Rider tonight......just my top play on the card. I think the line should be 9 o 10.

First, in terms of fair disclosure I played Rider +15.5 last nite and Manhattan -14 today for the same amount so I'm hoping for a 15 point Manhattan win.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see this game relatively close at the half. Manhattan might come out a little complacent having just beaten up on Rider on their home court and the Jaspers were only up by 7 at the half in that first one. Rider evened the game early in the 2H.

If that happens, I'm going to hammer Manhattan at the half because I think that's when the fatigue from Sundays OT game will start to set in and that's when Manhattan usually seems to pull away.

Thanks for the props but I've been no Ivy guru yet this year.

But it's still early.

Okay here's my prediction for the 1H score:

Manhattan 33 Rider 29

That would make the 2H line probably something like Manhattan -5 which I'll hammer. Johnson played 45 minutes on Sunday and he'll start to tired in the 2H.

I guess a PUSH and a WIN works too. Helps make up for the bad beats I got last nite.
