A lil better card today, some good line movements, the early ones took a huge hit after the morning started today, so we'll see what happens on the tube tonight.
A10 GOY: Butler -16 (10 units) (I typically don't like laying DD and Butler of late hasn't covered, but to their defense they've had some chemistry problems with players out then coming back then others going out and now all are back vs a club that is easier than Jennifer Love Hewitt, OH! Have Butler winning by 21 here.
Under 133 1/2 LSU/Tennessee
Michigan St -1 1/2 (14-0 at home, and undefeated at home in the Big 10 isnt' an easy feat, Indiana being ranked #1 has the target on their back, last 3 Tuesday's, #1 has gone down, make it #4) MSU 68 IU 63
Creighton -14 1/2 (I'll bite on the 2 pt line drop, as oddsmakers put out the number at -16 and over valued talk on the Jays caught up to them, but can we forget that they beat the Salukis by 30 on ESPNU with them down the Early kid, who is a ? again tonight, and ave margin L4 games vs SIU is 19? I'll take the Jays to wake up with Bracket buster weekend this weekend ahead, Gibbs finally has a break out night to take pressure off of McD)
Missouri State +6 1/2 (Bears in revenge mode, typically have played well in the UD role at home, UNI on the road a deficit 3 pts and beat MoSt by 11, home court value here for Mo State who go for the SU win)
NC State -7 (Another huge line drop from -8 1/2 to -7, Wolfpack off OT win at home vs VaT w/leading national scorer Green having a huge day, well in come the Noles who have had NC State number last 2 games, however front line of NC State and backcourt at home wake up this evenng, NCS by 11)
Mizzou +6 1/2 (I'll bite with the home dawg here, Arkansas shocks Gators at Ark, Mizzou must be chopped liver eh? Oriachi should have a great game inside along with the shooters for Mizzou, home cooking crowd will be up for this TV contest and it's a huge revenge embarassment for Mizzou who got pummeled by 31 in Gainesville early in the season, Mizzou wins SU)
Miami-F -8 (I've gone against the Hurricanes on the road giving, now I'll take them at home giving vs a Cavs squad that's minus big man Tobey and may be missing another player as well, Canes at home formidable and will be ranked #1 after IU gets beaten this evening, back court for Canes too much for Cavs even with Cavs aggressive "D", without a big man to push around Johnson, Kadji and Gamble, Cavs have no shot of keeping this one close, Canes by 14)
Ga Tech +4 1/2 (bought the hook, dont' think I'll need it, but N Car off big home win this weekend and GT won at Wake, something not many ACC teams have been able to do or if they beat Wake, they barely did it, NC on the road in the ACC beat Fla St & BC, played Duke tough in tobacco rd tilt, but I'll take the trend here with GT 8-2 ATS at home L10 vs UNC and 7-4 SU vs UNC, Tech goes for home upset here vs horrible FT shooting club in the Heels and no big man play, which means perimeter shooting has to be precise for Heels, not on the road though)
BC +2 (Terps knocked off Duke and beat BC at home by 5, now BC had Duke beat, but lost with a horrible call in the waning moments of the BC/Duke game, BC will pull out all the stops here and win SU vs Terps, BC 14-5 ATS vs team that gives up 64 pts or less on the road, Maryland averages 62 for and 64 against on the rd)
Under 135 1/2 VC/STL
Texas -4 1/2 (bought down the hook, line will probably drop to -4, TCU getting love here after they shocked the world and turned the Jayhawks upside down on ESPN. Texas has Myck back and backcourt for Longhorns should handle the TCU b/c and poor shooting front court of the Horny toads, WV took TCU down hard and Texas much more athletic and better all around than WV, Frogs 1-4 at home as a dog, only cover and win vs Kansas, Texas bad on the road, first road game with their guard back who served his NCAA/inhouse suspension, Kabongo goes loco on the horny toads, Texas by 8)
Over 137 Fla/Mizzou (Mizzou 81 Fla 77)
GLE!!
