Love ASU!  These are the spots to hit in college hoops

Minny +8 (1st half)...thinking MSU comes out sleepwalking after playing at MSG just a few days ago, now returning home to play a team they already spanked on the road this season.  Also, as good as MSU is this season, they suck from 3 point range and in the beatdown of the Goohers last month MSU had one of their best 3 point shooting games of the season.  Doubt they duplicate that tonight. 

Just seeing this.  Been at a funeral all morning.  I'm riding it out a +6. 

Rutgers +6....I have no idea what way this line is gonna move but I like the +6 so I hit it.  MSU has been flirting with losing lately and I don't know if they'll lose this game, but i think it's gonna be close.  Izzo has a horrible record at MSG, granted most of those games have been vs top competition but Rutgers is no slouch, despite underachieving this season.  Ill say MSU wins a squeaker, but I wouldn't be surprised if they lose SU. +6 imo, is a great bet

CHEESE AND RICE......Holland....what a disgrace!  Wow!  What was that?  He is a permanent-no-bet fir the rest of my life!

Big card tonight.  Gonna be busy flipping between Lions game and fights.  Here's what I got for UFC:

Clayton Carpenter +3.5 -105 (1.05 to win 1)

Allin Perez +3.5 -150 (.75 to win .5)

Grant Dawson -245 (2.45 to win 1)

Zach Reese +160 (.5 units to win .8)

Kevin Holland +110 (4 units to win 4.4)....it can be hard to bet on Holland, ya never know what version shows up.  I love seeing him talk smack at weigh ins, if he motivated and taking this fight serious, I think he whoops RDR.  Powerful wrestlers and superior strikers have beaten Holland, RDR is neither one of those.  In fact, I have no clue what RDR even is....maybe a sloppy, non-defensive, jiu-jitsu nerd....?  Holland by TKO

Merab +220 (1 unit to win 2.2)

Enjoy the fights!!

Texas Tech ML-130....not messing around with points, not even 2.  Been burned too many times.  I take mostly underdogs and moneylines.  Been doing this for 25+ years, seen it all, been on the wrong side of crazy beats waaayyyy more than the right side.  

I'm coaching 4 b-ball games today, but i might pop in with 1 or 2 more plays.

Good luck yall

Mick Cronin can yell all he wants, but that yelling should be directed at the AD or whoever set up this brutal scheduling for them.  Lincoln, Nebraska on Saturday, back to LA for game on Tuesday, then all the way across the country for game at Maryland on Friday.  All 3 games vs likely NCAA tourney teams.....that's a brutal 6-day stretch.  I was liking Maryland but don't wanna give up 5 points.  Good luck!

Nice winner on Nebraska yesterday, now UCLA goes back home to play Michigan Tuesday, then travels across the country to play at Maryland on Friday!!  Crazy schedule!!!  Will definitely be looking into playing Maryland next Friday if the line is right.

Will be snowboarding with the kids today and Was gonna take today off but this one jumped out....

Northwestern +7....NU has played Purdue tough over the last couple years, and that was with Zach Edey putting up some huge games.  No Edey anymore, I see this scrappy NU team hanging around, maybe even sneaking in an upset SU win.  

Good luck ya'll

Nebraska -1....there are gonna be some great spots to fade some of these West Coast BIG 10 teams this year, and this is one of them.  Bruins off tough games vs UNC and Gonzaga, and a home game vs Michigan coming up on Tuesday.  Sandwiched between all those is todays little trip to Lincoln to face the Huskers.  Nebraska probably had this game circled, doubt the Bruins did.  Not to mention Nebraska is 25-1 at home last 2+ seasons....

Thanks ya'll 

Got a little close at the end there....

1st half UNDER 70.5....This is the first game for MSU in a real difficult environment this season.  I'm expecting them to struggle, especially early.  And I also think Izzo will have them clamping down on defense.  MSU matches up well on the perimeter with OSU. Also BIG 10 conference games typically have inflated totals early in conference play due to the high scoring outputs in non-conference games.  Then the physicality sets in during conference play and teams tend to average less points per game.  

Good luck

I'm a BIG 10 guy but I'm on Boise State in this one.  

I thought about playing this cuz of the early start time, limited Izzone, etc., but this version of MSU is very polished, and really starting to gel.  They may end up being very good in a couple months.  WMU brings virtually nothing to this game.  They know they're losing by 20+, they just don't know if it will be 30+, 40+ or worse.  Good luck, maybe MSU sleepwalks in the 1st half

Memphis -1.5....Mmmmm....love me a nice unranked team favored over a ranked team, especially when that ranked team has played as soft of a schedule as Ole Miss has.

* Petting should be Petrino....damn auto correct

Made a few bucks last weekend, could have had a nice night if Volkov got the decision, and could've had a real nice night if Volkov and Sterling were both given decision wins.  I thought Volkov won, plain and simple, and I do think Evloev won but I could've seen Sterling winning a decision cuz it was close.  No money on Battle/Brown, but i definitely gave that one to Brown. 

Last night of fights for a few weeks, I'm gonna let 'er fly tonight....

Quarter unit plays:

Rodriguez +210

Horth +500

Tavares -102

Half unit plays

Yanez +200

Swanson +130

Full unit plays

Padilla +132

Alvarez/Kape Parlay-217

Petting -290

2 unit plays

Colby +200....I've done a complete 180 on this one.  Was liking Buckley, but a deeper dive has lead me to thinking Colby can grind out a decision with his wrestling.  

@monkeebooger

 I'm stoked to watch this card, but I'm not really stoked about the betting lines.  I like a lot of dogs, and that usually doesn't pan out very well for me.  I liked Battle, until he crawled to the scale and weighed 4 pounds over.  But I'm a half-unti on:

Griffin +114

Durden +144

Anders -105

Choi +115

Volkov +305

Quarter-unit on:

Sterling +207

Gracie +575

Parlay on Shavkat/Pantoja 

Yea I like Volkov.  Never been a fan of Gane.  I think Volk at this price is a great bet.  I'm on him, may add to it depending on how other fights go
