UNCC -15 v Houston

[buddy]

What is up with this opening line? UNCC -15

Huh?

Houston hasn't lost by 15 to the number all year long, and UNCC only covered by 15 once and that was their first game of the season as 20 pt. Home Chalk to Long Beach State, 89-61.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

buddy's brain in action ~~~

Last Saturday, we all got to watch on national tv as L'vlle -19 pounded Houston, 81-55.

Except for Tenn State and Towson, no other Div 1 A team is as bad as they look on television.

In their L 5 games, UNCC goes 1-5 SU / 1-4 ATS, loses/no covers 3 consecutive road games including a nl loss at Valpo, 73-59.

Houston hasn't lost to the number by 15 all year long. What makes UNCC so special?

If Houston was playing Kentucky, I'd lay the 15.

But not against UNCC folks.

Barring injuries or suspensions...

Play: Houston +15.

Didnt play them, but I looked hard at Houston! NC Char has been a disappointment after getting off to a good start, I like your chances..Cabo...

 

[DIMEDADDY]

NOT SUE BUT I BELIEVE HOUSTON LOST BY 20 OR MORE LAST WEEK AGAINST L-VILLE!

TRUST ME ON THAT ONE, CAUSE I HAD HOUSTON +18.5 & LOST!

DIME

You're right DimeDaddy. Had Houston as well. Louisville spanked them Saturday night.

i like houston also. here's an interesting system that has been posted elsewhere by a poster known as coldbeer4thesoul; i'm not sure but i believe he has posted here on occasion. anyway, the system has two components, one for favs and one for dogs, and is based on the cumulative total points of teams' three highest scorers. don't know how much stock i put it the system at this point but it has produced well so far.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Yesterday 1-0 on #1
#2 Dogs getting 5.5 or more 1-3

#1) play the favorite if the difference between total of the top three scorers of favorite exceed the total of top three scorers of the dog by the amount of point spread.
Example: Marquette?s top 3 scorers PPG: 48.6
DePaul top 3 scorers 35.3
Spread Marquette ?3? play

Marquette ?3? (48.6) DePaul (35.3) (Marquette won 1st meeting by 21)
TCU ?6? (46.7) So. Miss (39.4) (So Miss won 1st meeting by 8 )

#2) play the dog if the difference between total of the top three scorers of the dog exceed the total of top three scorers of the favorite. The bigger dog the better the play.
Example: Geo. Wash?s top 3 scorers PPG: 45.0
Dayton's top 3 scorers PPG:38.6
Spread GW +12 PLAY.
Listing only 5.5+ point dogs
MICHIGAN +8 (44.6) Indiana (43.6) (Indiana won 1st meeting by 20)
WEST VA +17 (43.9) Pitt (35.3) (Pitt won 1st meeting by 19)
HOUSTON +15 (37.2) NC Charlotte (37.9) (NC Charlotte won 1st meeting by 15)
GW +12 (45.0) Dayton (38.6) (Dayton won 1st meeting by 10)
Clemson +7 (37.4) SC (36) (SC won 1st meeting by 22)

Man, sometimes I do get ahead of myself...

Houston did lose/no cover as +18' v L'vlle.

Sorry about the mistake.

Geez!

 

[buddy]

Hey loophole,

coldbeer4thesoul really has an interesting theory.

Man, that is unique!

 

[Hoops]

Not only did they lose to Louisville by 26, they also lost by 18 at Rice, by 16 at home against UL-Lafeyette, at Washington by 24, and at LSU by 29.

 

[loophole]

yeah, it is kinda unique, isn't it? and so far it has produced good results. it just so alien to anything i've worked with in the past i'm not quite sure what to make of it. hard to argue with success though, and the guy seems to be articulate and well versed.

 

[buddy]

Correction:

Houston has lost three times this year to the number as dogs of 15 or more

@ lsu
@ washington
v L'VLLE

 

[Statman02]

have to like Houston also...... after all they are 10/2 ats as conf away dog and if they are coming off a home game as is the case here they are a perfect 6/0.....they've also played some pretty good teams in their last 6 games.....opps like Louisville....Tulane...TCU...So Fla and Memphis......gives them an rpi of 145 for the last 6 compared with 198 for UNCC.......15 points looks good

Getting smacked around on ESPN will make any line jump....I like Houston
