Well currently 13-2-1 the past 2 days on posted picks, but have New Mexico late which appears to be a loser so 13-3-1. Going to place a few games now... it worked last night for getting a couple better numbers.

West Vagina @ Notre Dame - At first glance, I'm semi-shocked the line is so low. However, West Vagina is still a team on the bubble with a 7-7 conference record and they really need this game. Notre Dame has also been winning close games so I'll grab the points in a game I believe could be decided on the last possession.

West Vagina +3.5 for 5* - You might wait as line could go up and I'll probably regret not waiting.

James Madison @ Drexel - Dragons coming off a monster win on National TV and just don't see them getting up for a JMU team they beat by 7 just recently. JMU might be getting back a good player and I'm hoping their stud guard who is questionable can play. I'll take my chances grabbing 15 as Drexel doesn't play a style typically conducive to blowouts plus this is a classic letdown spot IMO.

James Madison +15 for 4*

Michigan State @ Minnesota - Spartans have been absolutely rolling and now the oddsmakers have overvalued them IMO. Gophers are desperate for a quality win and I believe they step to the plate and give the Spartans everything they want. Won't be surprised if Minny wins SU in the old barn.

Gophers +6 for 4.5*

Wichita State @ Illannoy State - Classic letdown spot for the Shockers, however, I'm not about to wager against them. Wichita State is playing better than any midmajor right now and it's not very close to 2nd IMO (some could argue Murray State I guess). Looking for another nice win for the Shockers.

Wichita State -5 (-120) for 3*

Boise State @ UNLV - Boise State quietly has a 3 game winning streak while UNLV has a 2 game losing streak with a 20 point loss to New Mexico and a loss to lowly TCU. Broncos almost won @ San Diego State recently and I think they'll come ready to play against a club they barely loss to in OT a couple weeks ago.

Boise State +15 for 4*

Sure I'll have about 6 or 7 more plays tomorrow since I don't know when to stop.

Texas A&M +11 (-120) for 7* - Play of the Day! Not sure why this line has gone up, but I have a feeling it's the books doing a head fake or maybe it's sharp money. I'm not buying it as the Aggies always play Kansas tough and this is a major lookahead game for KU just like MU had last night. MU beat the Aggies by 9, but shot the ball very well. I think Kansas will have a difficult time extending the margin to double digits and if they don't come ready will be in a battle until the final seconds. I'm guessing KU 64 Aggies 59

South Florida +14 for 2.5* @ Syracuse - USF's RPI is still weak so I expect a good showing tonight as they could move up with a close loss. A lot of points for Syracuse to cover vs. a decent team.

Nebraska +10 for 4.5* @ Purdue - With Barlow off the team and Byrd suspended, just don't see Boilermakers covering a double digit spread with such a thin roster.

Oklahoma State +5 (-120) for 4.5* - Sooners have been in a free fall, but Okie State isn't the best traveling bunch. Still like the points in what figures to be a close game.

Texas Tech +16 for 4.5* - Tough to ever back the Red Raiders, but Iowa State lives and dies with the trey and think they'll have a tough time winning by 17+ tonight.

UCSB +9 (-120) for 4.5* - Really like this Long Beach club, but think Saturday's brutal loss might have a lingering effect and the Gauchos should step up in this game after being crushed by Long Beach at home. See a close Long Beach victory.

East Carolina +15 for 4* - Memphis coming off a brutal home loss to UTEP. East Carolina has some athletes and just a gut feeling they keep this game closer than 15 points.

Well, a dozen plays tonight and hopefully a 9-2-1 night overall... If you play my games, tread lightly as Wednesday nights have been my worst nights of the week all season. I'll take 8-4 and profit as well, but 9-2-1 would be much better.

Thanks for the Well Wishes, would love to hit 70% for an extended run. Unfortunately I realize playing this many games isn't the sharpest strategy, but a lot more fun!

Everything has been turning to sh*t tonight... might as well add one more turd.

San Diego State -5 (-120) for 2.5* - Brutal start to tonight. Need some wins!

Wow! A great 5-8 night counting UCSB as a loss...did hit Play of Day by a miracle... should have just thrown darts... Damn! I hate Wednesdays, always suck!

Had tough losses on Texas Tech and James Madison... just brutal in both. Boise State had plenty of opportunities to at least push late & I just start drinking to forget this horrid night ever happened. Now 16-11-1 since I said I wanted to be 70% LOL. Might not post tomorrow.
