Gonna be an all LARGE day .......
CSU/SDST U130.5 LARGE ....I lost this total a month ago (was 132 I believe), when these teams went to OT tied at 63 after a crazy CSU 2nd h (40-22). CSU is now hoem and the #1 rebounding team in the nation. SDST wont get off to a hot start again, but can still play some defense. No OT this time and I will be good.....
Auburn +3 LARGE .....Not sure why oddsmakers would make Arky a road favorite over just about anyone at this point. They are young and dumb. Sure, they pulled an awesome game out of their a$$ vs Florida, but they are 0-6 on the road this year and average about 58 ppg, which is almost 20 below their season average. Add blowout loss @ Vandy last saturday and a saturday home game vs Mizzou and you've got yourself a nasty sandwich game. I realize Auburn isnt great, but they play decent defense and the offense is improving and they have played well at home. Already took the Razorbacks to double OT 1 month ago @ Arky, so revenge is in play as well.....
Depaul +12 LARGE ....... ND is fresh off there crazy 5 OT win vs LVille and have a mini look ahead to road games @ Prov/Pitt. Depaul took ND to OT less than 2 weeks ago and all 5 starters scored in dd. They have lost 8 in a row and 10 out of last 11....who would back them? I have to raise my hand.....I think ND is very over rated and I think they will be in an ugly game tonight. I expect ND to play slower than usual, so I may play the U149 as well.
Miami -5.5 LARGE...... FSU is a trainwreck. They are 302nd in the nation in rebounding, 237th is assists and dont shoot 44% from the field. Their winning margins this year (vs real teams) : 3,5,3, 3,2,2 .....their losses: 9, 25, 6, 5, 20, 24, 19, 25 . Miami has surprised a lot of people, including me. I dont think anything but the venue has changed since the last meeting, a 71-47 Canes win. I dont think the Tucker Center is worth 18 points.
Ole Miss pk LARGE ..... Pure value. 2 weeks ago this line is -6. Ole Miss losing a couple games and A&M beating Mizou has this line scewed. Ole Miss is 5th in the nation in scoring and 13th in rebounding....Aggies are 28oth and 229th respectively. I expect the Rebels to take Turner out of the game, which doesnt leave A&M with many options....
Iowa St pk LARGE ..... I dont care who is back for Texas. They are simply a crappy squad with a horrible coach. The simply dont have the talent to matchup with ISU, let alone with a looakahead to Kansas on deck.....
Washington -2 LARGE ...... Duh
Tulane, So Flor and Purdue where the next on the list...
