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

Taking Bowling Green +24.5 tonight.  Big line, early in season is always a crap shoot.  Sure, it could end up being decided by the 3rd stringers in garbage minutes, but 1 sneaky little tidbit about BG is Tum Tum Nairn is an assistant coach on the staff.  Nairn played at MSU for Izzo, and those 2 had, actually I think still have, a great relationship.  Izzo lived him as a player, so there is obviously incentive to win the game for MSU, but Izzo isn't gonna wanna run this up too much with Nairn on the other bench.  

@monkeebooger

 Yes, I'm doing great!  Hope you're doing well too brother!  Big UFC card this weekend!

Greetings!  I don't really hang around these parts anymore, sports and gambling used to be my life, but I've got a new found freedom now that I'm just a very, very casual viewer/bettor.  But it is still baked into my brain to check lines for MSU basketball games and I think this line is way off!  Izzo hasn't been very successful in this Champions Classic, and he's had much better teams in the past.  This MSU team may end up being pretty good, but tonight, this environment is gonna be too big for them, and not to mention they're playing the #1 ranked team.  I would've made this line -9, and still played Kansas.  Kansas-6 is the bet!!

Nice start!  I like the rest of your picks too.  I hit Moreno hard and may be hitting it again.  

@bakersfield6969

 Shoot....Just seeing this.  I would be in 

Big time card today.  Hate the early start time for us here in the US, but here's who I got:

Parlay Fakhretdinov/Orolbai -118....1.18 to win 1

Naurdiev-Silva Over 2.5 +114....1 to win 1.14

Barnett +3.5 +270....   .5 to win 1.35

Petrosyan +150.....1 to win 1.5

Whitaker +190.....1 to win 1.90

Max +210....1 to win 2.10

On Washington and Central Florida in college football 

Good luck ya'll 

+130 on O'Malley is crazy good line!!

I'm on Merab, can definitely see the fight going either way.  Either Suga pieces him up on the feet and finds a KO or Merab takes him down 16 times and Suga spends 21 minutes on his back/against the fence.  I've just never seen cardio like Merabs, that was what ultimately decided it for me.  

I think we're all pretty geeked for this one.  I do wish there was another 2/3 fights, but I guess 10 is enough for this big of an event.  From a gambling perspective, I'm not crazy confident in any of these bets, but here's what I got ( all 1 unit unless otherwise noted):

Van/jauregui  -143

Torres -135.  (2.7 to win 2)

Dumont  -105

Ribovics  +190

Ortega/Lopes  O 2.5  -115

Grasso. -130

Merab +105

If ya do college foots, and you can find a line on Prairie View A&M vs Michigan State, I highly suggest taking Prairie View A&M +40ish.  MSU has spent all week patting themselves on the back for the win @Maryland and they're 100% looking past this game.  Admittedly, I know nothing about Prairie View, but they're playing a team that is young, over confident and looking ahead.  MSU wins by about 28 is my prediction
