One play for now... going to wait on everything else.

Evansville @ Creighton - Tough to keep winning and winning big when you're basically a one man team like Creighton. I love this McDermott kid and think he'll be a decent NBA player, but I don't like much else about Creighton. They should have lost to Long Beach State and were just crushed by Wichita State. They're a nice well coached team, but not very talented other than McDermott who is a scoring stud. Evansville beat Creighton by 8 points at their place recently although it was a game where Evansville made a huge run late to make the final score not how the game played out... they were actually down 6 with about 10 minutes left. Still, going to grab this line now before it moves down anymore.

Evansville +12 (-120) for 4* - Line just dropped to 11 a couple minutes after I placed it as well. Was about to buy Auburn to 18 and line dropped to 17. Wondering if my book doesn't hedge me a bit since I love dogs.

Auburn @ Florida - Realize the Gators are coming off a game where they literally blew their f*cking wad @ Arkansas. If they shoot this well again, they'll cover against Auburn. However, the Tigers have been fairly scrappy other than the debacle vs. Alabama last week going 8-2 ATS their past 10 games. Going to take this play now as I could see the number dropping a bit to about 15.5 or 16.

Auburn +17 for 4.5*

Michigan @ Northwestern - Michigan has been weak on the road and Northwestern has been fairly tough at home. Michigan is also coming off such an emotional high of beating Ohio State. Northwestern matches up VERY well with Michigan as they aren't very big just like Michigan and really should have won the game in Ann Arbor which they lost by 2 points in OT. I'll take Shurna & company to get a HUGE win towards getting an invite to the NCAA tourney. I could also see this line growing so grabbing it now rather than waiting.

Northwestern -1.5 for 4.5*

Kentucky @ Mississippi State - Two teams which have been polar opposites lately as Kentucky has been crushing everyone and Mississippi State has been abysmal. However, this game in Starksville suddenly becomes huge for a Miss State team which did win @ Vandy and can be tough at times. If Stansbury doesn't coach like a complete jackass, I like the Bulldogs chances of keeping this game within single digits.

Mississippi State +10 (-120) for 5*

I'm going to do a write up for the MSU game

 

[Destructor D]

Have a feeling you'll be on Kentucky, but I like Miss State's chances of covering 10 points. They actually have size and will have a pumped crowd. Interested in your write up as you have been spot on with your predictions of them.

Going to finish off my plays for tomorrow now and go to bed.

Kansas State @ Missouri - At first look, everything points to Mizzou. Huge revenge game from the 16 point beatdown in Manhatten and the HOME team absolutely owns this series. How could anyone not take MU? Well, I'll be that guy tomorrow. Kansas State just plays such grinders and close games. Kansas State is also ferocious on the boards and playing great defense right now. Just a feeling MU has a problem winning by double digits.

Kansas State +10 (-120) for 5*

Illannoy @ Ohio State - Boy the Illini looked terrible at Nebraska, but for some reason and don't ask me why, I think this team will showup at Columbus. This is Weber's last chance to save his job and I think his kids will give a solid effort. I also haven't been impressed with Ohio State recently and believe they'll have a difficult time winning by 17+.

Illinois +16 for 5*

Virginia @ Va Tech - Really tough to not like the revenge minded Cavaliers who lost a heartbreaker at home to Va Tech and I guarantee they don't want being swept by Va Tech on their resume. Davila also is questionable for Va Tech and Virginia has overall been a great road team. I'll take my chances with them...

Virginia -1.5 (-120) for 4.5*

GLTA, would love a 6-1 day!

 

[Corley1011]

GL bud!!!! I'm liking a lot of these myself :0008

 

[Ronnie]

Love the Mississippi St and Kansas St play, good luck!:toast:

 

[Destructor D]

Thanks Ronnie, adding Public Square Play #1... North Caroliona -6 (-120) for 2.5* - UNC just has far superior talent and think they win by 8+.

 

[Destructor D]

Adding Clemson -4 for 2.5* - Small play, but going to follow a solid capper on this game and the fact Glen Rice Jr. is out doesn't help Ga Tech. Also, wouldn't expect many fans at this game so home court advantage won't be much. 9 plays total which is too many, but makes it much more fun!

Final Play!

New Mexico -5 (-120) for 3* - Lobos beat this Colorado State team by over 30 at home and New Mexico continues to be one of the best teams in the country ATS going 18-5 against the number overall this year plus they have quite a string of consecutive covers. This is a spot for a letdown, but even if New Mexico doesn't play their best, I still think they win by enough to cover 5 points.

10 plays now, might as well just throw darts and play the whole board next time... just kidding of course.

Adding .5* to the following:

Mississippi State +10 (-120) for 5.5* - Play of the Day! Don't see back-to-back favorites covering on ESPN and like the Bulldogs in this spot.

Virginia -1.5 (-120) 6 for 5* - Don't see Cavs losing.

New Mexico -5 (-120) for 3.5*

Just added .5* to each game. Lucky to get Auburn... whew!

 

[Destructor D]

Well Vagina is in trouble... didn't come ready to play like Va Tech.

Glad I got the lucky win with Auburn and the incredible lucky push with Illannoy. Hopefully a 8-1-1 night, I would love it!

 

[Destructor D]

Well put a fork in Northwestern... F*CK!

Adding Kentucky 2nd half -9 so +4 for the game for 2*... thinking Wildcats make a serious run and have a shot to win late. I know they played miserable, but Calipari is going to light these boys up and I think they come to play this 2nd half.

 

[Destructor D]

Whew! The Kentucky game sure came close... hope most peeps on Kentucky had -8.5 or -9.

8-1-1 with New Mexico remaining. Glad I bought the half-point on Vagina. Let's go LOBOS! Turn it up a notch and start hitting shots and playing solid defense!

 

[Dr. Fade]

Nice night D. Congrats! Obviously it's important to get the best #'s this time of year. I added the Purple Aces- tailed you after further review- surprised they didn't lose by 11 in ot :142smilie . I can't believe MSU pushed the 9. I didn't watch the game, but was checking the score :shrug: WTF? I know you covered your # :0074

Go Rams :0corn
