Maybe its early, but this sticks out like a sore thumb in my mind.

USF vs Marquette -9 (USF IS TERRIBLE!!!)
Wouldn't Marquette cover this in their sleep? I'd love to see what first half is... I'd probably put like 8 units or my mortgage on my house if i had one.

Geeze... why is that so low?

I just bought half a point to make it 8.5 just to be a little safer... (not that im worried.)

That's a POD easily.

could be a trap?  i think marquette wins this game no doubt but it could be close...they havent really played the better teams in the big east, big wins vs gtown and nd were good but both of them were playing bad

I only said Chicago Bulls because I couldn't believe that anyone would bet on USF. That's all it was. I know what forum I'm in and I obviously know who is playing considering the thread I created.

Maybe I'll have to buy back some units before the game depending on the line movement, but I just don't and can't physically see USF hanging in a whole game with Marquette and keeping it close :-/
The majority of their fans have already given up on them this year and have pretty much no effect on the game whatsoever. It's just not the same home court advantage that other teams have like: Duke, UF, UT, and the list goes on....

I appreciate it, especially after going 5-1 tonight including 2 nhl games.
I'm currently hitting about 79% of my bets which from what I've been reading on these forums all day each day, that is pretty good. However, I couldn't do this on my own. It is this community and other certain individuals that give me the confidence to pull the trigger. I can't be thankful enough for that.

MARQUETTE is physical and tough, only 9 points, LETS GO EAGLES!!!
I have to look at the numbers and stats and trends of the game!

Marquette should win this one easily but whenever you give a team that many points there always the possibility of a backdoor cover during garbage time. Going 5-1 is great but it doesnt mean you have to bet all of your profits the next day. Good luck and listen to NC, money mangement can be more important than deciding on who to bet on.

Yea, I only put 2.5 units on the game. I was just getting my point across that the line should have been more around 13.  This will be a shocker, but its the only bet I'm putting down until I see some convincing evidence supported by other people for another team that coincides with the research I do on my own. Considering I don't know these other teams very well, its probably going to take a pretty strong reason to convince me to play them tonight. But heck, I'll do some light number crunching so I can at least know where people are coming from!

I really would like to land a 1u for 10u parlay or teaser of some kind tonight or Saturday to be honest. Maybe tonights the night?!
GL Everyone!!

Be careful Jabroni! Not trying to stop you from taking the Golden Eagles tonight, but they are due for a worthless loss. Remember they have Nova on the road next week, which i'm sure they are already looking at.  I will prob also be on them tonight, but just for something small!

Yea, I took that into consideration. I'm just to the point where if USF wants some of my money then they are going to have to earn it. If they win and take it tonight, I won't even be that mad to be honest. I don't see it happening (nor do I want to because I hate USF), but if they do pull it out then good for them. I made sure that I got it at -8.5 because I hate kissing my sister and I don't want a push ;)
I know right now you may be thinking that I'm betting emotionally, but I think even on one of Marquette's bad days they can beat USF by a minimum of 5 on one of USF's good days.
USF is local here and I watch all their games. They are slow, goofy, and just look uncoordinated.

I agree with all the people who are betting for them too though. USF is due for a solid win, and Marquette is due for some stupid loss. However like I said before, if USF is going to have to earn my respect by taking my money today. LOL

USF does not win this game, but the reason the line dropped already is because cappers see the line should be 17 or 18.  with 92% on Marquette, reverse line movement.  Marquette wins but IMO, USF covers late, possibly back door.  GL.............

GL...
but, when I first saw this game, I liked marq... then after some research I kinda turn my mind to USF...
1) Public is all over marq, been a rough week for me and been on public side, so been tempted to fade them
2) They always played Marq well. 
3) style will determ in this game, if Marq gets this gaame on the run USF is in trouble, but USF keeps it slow pace.  I can see them covering...
 
I think this will be a nail bitter, and after this weak I have no more nails.
I may stay away, but if I do hop on I am thinking USF... But GL.
FYI, my guy has it at 9.5, so we get a 9 pt game we both can win... GL

South Florida is one of the most improved teams from the beginning of the year. They "turned" their season around in the 2nd half against Cuse and almost won that game. They have been playing well ever since. I'm going to be betting USF tonight

I took South Florida over the Johnies the other day and let me tell you this team really stinks. I watched the game where they gave Nova a good fight in their arena and  Nova did cover although the Bulls kept it close only because Nova was not up for the game.  Marquette is a very good phyiscal team that will crush South Florida tonight.Bet the first half line if you can! Marquette by 13 tonight.

Sorry to hear that Max :-/ I picked St. Johns and it was one of those games we all enjoy when you can turn off the TV and walk away early.

Is St. Johns as good as Marquette? or Niagra? Niagra beat them by 15 at home... I don't know. This one is up in the air... There are so many people favoring USF that I must be missing something. I bought the hook anyways, so there is a good chance that we may all be winners.

Like I said, If USF actually gets my money, good for them. Its expendable and I'll get it all back anyways.
