W VIR LINE
- Thread starter RAYMOND
- Start date
ray i think it should be maybe 3, this is way to high, i think it is a situation of what the hoyas have done this yr, not throwing in that west v has covered 10 of its last 13 as a rd dog, after a non con game they have covered 8of 9 current yr, not to mention west v is 9-7 ats , against these last 9 yrs will be adding them in my thread, may lose but im going in with the best hand !HOLLA

Have it at a soild 6
conern is 3pt shooting by WVA. and ever so slight let down by WVA..media writing them into the dance already and kids read the crap..
if WVA coach has them as focused as they were vs UCLA..they have great chance of staying close even at GEO.TWN..
Hoyas ever so slightly over-rated to me..but are one of the teams who have improved thru the schedule..

W Vir playing 3rd ranked team in a row, but this one on the road and Gtown destroying Marg their last game at home is why I think this line is so high. I will take the pts. I also want to thank you Ray for the winners. I've coattailed you the last 2 weeks on some of your picks and have done very well. Thank you.

Ray, to me, this line appears to be pretty close but if you take into account that G Town has been under rated since the first of Dec while W Va has been over rated (line wise) since the ND game I would have to add 3 to 5 points meaning that the line could be as high as 14'. I won't be playing the game but that's the way I see it. Good luck
IMO, it is a bad matchup for WVU, but 9.5 or 10 is plenty of points. Everyone wants to make a big splash about WVU's win over the weekend and rightfully so, but GTown had a big win too. I thought the line would be about 7-8. Good luck.

This is a scary game and 9.5 seems high. Gtown is a team that long and athletic and could give WVU fits!!! W/ that being said, I see a possibly letdown for WVU after beating UCLA. This is too many points but Marquette pounded WVU in Marquette and then Gtown drilled Marquette!! For what that is worth! I don't think that means that much.
Ray,
The first time I looked at this line, I thought it was way to high. But when I looked through everything, I thought it was way to high. I personally don't get it. :shrug: I have the line at 4. But when something looks to good to be true. I get spanked. I'll be laying off this one. But GL

I think it is a good opportunity to grab the 9.5 points Ray.
I definitively playing this game
good luck Raymundo

Everyone says this line is too high. My Raw Power Rankings have the number at : GT -9.3 This doesn't take into account home court, which in Georgetowns case should be -3.2
Georgetown should be -12.5
Add in Hangover from UCLA and short turn around......with Hoyas playing 2nd game in home confines, and I think this number is generous to Hoyas backers.....IMO
Line has dropped a point...........not good for West Virginia Bettors. Good Luck on whatever side you choose.

For what its worth and i think i have a keen eye for a line when i first looked at the lines early this morning i thought the pros and the college tv games were all very high. Cmon man WV just beat ucla and they are getting 9? Since its monday i will lay low tho.

How do you come up with the -9.5 on Georgetown. What capping system do you use, or am I crossing the line asking how you cap the games? thx :shrug:

Not at all..............I use 5 different power ratings: find a happy median and work from there. It would take forever and day to go over each one, but I use Sagarin, Greenfield, LVSC to name a few. I develop my own power numbers by implementing team stats, as well as Road/Home Performance. I have a predictor value that guides my ending line. In this case: Differential was :
Georgetown End Rate: 22.69 WVIRG 31.99 It comes out to 9.3..........the problem with power ratings is that it doesn't take into account intangibles which of course are a huge part of this game. Hope this helped some.......
