NCAA Monday

A light schedule for tonight, but three really solid games, all with potential to be close ones.

Baylor -8.5 (26 units to win 24.76)

Iowa State / Baylor OVER 140.5 (24 units to win 22.86)

Most are likely viewing this as a ton of points for a team who has lost 7 of 8 ATS against a team who has won 7 in a row.  I'm not one of those people, as I think the opening line of 10 is right where this should have been based on recent common opponents, so the 8.5 now shows a slight discount.  Baylor is the better team, no question about that, and while they haven't looked great in recent weeks, they have played quite a gauntlet of a schedule of late.  Since their 41 point drubbing of Okie Light (a team who just beat Iowa State), Baylor played four bookend games against Kansas and Missouri, while defeating sub-par conference teams.  So, basically, Baylor hasn't fared well against the two top teams in the conference, both top 5 teams in the country.  Iowa State is rolling, but careful not to be fooled by thinking a home win vs. Kansas translates so easily into a solid road performance @ a Baylor team who very badly needs to get back on track. 

SKOALJF, Retburj, dime, Jose - thanks guys, GL tonight

Syracuse / Louisville UNDER 139.5 (25 units to win 23.81)

I don't think either team has been exposed or challenged leading into the defensive schemes both will see tonight.  The last four road games for the Cuse have been @ Nova, Notre Dame, Cincy and St. Johns while the Ville have hosted Notre Dame, Depaul, Nova, Rutgers, and a struggling UConn.  Both offenses won't find scoring as easy as they have recently.

thanks fellas, appreciate it..  At the risk of ruining a perfect night, I'm riding with KState

Kansas State -0.5 second half (24 units to win 22.86)
