Auburn +4.5

overtime killed us

texas +3

another one that is not easy to cap. both teams looked terrible yesterday and neither gave their opponent much of a game. texas has more length and more athletic ability which should be a factor all game. they struggled from the free throw line yesterday but if you are counting on them shooting 57% from there again, it just wont happen.

texas has some play makers, they simply sleep walked into a situation and got beat. usc on the other hand, knew their opponent was tough, prepared for the game, and got ran out of the gym by 30. its one thing to overlook and opponent and get beat, its another to prepare for an opponent and be embarassed.

usc is not ready to put together two halves, which is something they will have to do against a texas team with coach barnes who has pride and will want to show the basketball community that yesterday was a fluke. this is a bad time to get this texas team.


good luck to all

YES! that is the best post I have seen on here in a while.

unchoop15 - hilarious!

marquette 1H -8.5

miss st. is riddled with injury. unc is good but miss st made them look great because they simply do not have the horses to compete. their two best players are out with injury and they have been forced to not only dress but play walk ons. this wont fair well against a marquette team who seething from a buzzer beater loss to butler. buzz always has got the team going after a win marquettes overall 23-6 record in thanksgiving tournaments shows the trend that they dont lose twice in a row early in the season.

the reason i took the first half is because i can see this getting out of hand and marquette cruising in the second half. i dont want to have to rely on the bench to score a few points in the last 4 minutes to preserve the cover.

good luck to all

good play, on AP myself

austin peay +5

tough game to cap here. western carolina has lost to a bad unc asheville team and their only win comes against a down vcu team who they beat by 2.

austin peay is longer and lankier so they should have a decisive advantage on the boards. both teams can score, neither have proven they can play defense, so rebounding will be a major factor, second chance points on offense will be key.

also i like that the public is on western carolina right now, that typically fairs well for the underdog in the first game of the day.

tough one but i like austin peay close, maybe even to pull out a win.


good luck to all

good luck

im on the over...Chen has not pitched well against the yanks....the yankees bats are heating up....Pettite has only had 3 starts since coming off the DL. In Pettites past, it has taken him a lot longer than that to get in a groove.

your gonna be 2 for 2 and if the late game goes how I think it will, you might be 4 for 4

good play

Washington -110

Its that time of the year again for one team to get hot at the end of the baseball season and ride that hot streak all the way to the World Series. We saw it happen last year with the Cardinals and some experts beleived they were witnessing the same thing when the Cards took down a popular World Series pick in Atlanta. However, that steam engine cooled down yesterday when they were defeated by Gio Gonzalez and the Nationals 3-2.

Up next for the Cardinals is Jaime Garcia, a crafty lefty with playoff experience. On deck for the Nationals, Jordan Zimmerman, a young gun whose last playoff game he pitched came in college at the Division III regionals. Both lineups have had some degree of success against these two hurlers. The nats lineup is a lifetime 8-18 (.444) off Garcia with 2 HR's 2 walks and 2 strikeouts. The cards lineup is a lifetime 12-28 (.428) with 4 XBH 3 walks and 4 strikeouts. While those numbers are a little skewed because the sample size is so small, there really is not definate winner in that matchup.

However, when you look at this year and the way these two pitchers have performed, there isnt a slight edge, there is a major edge and it goes to WASHINGTON.

Garcia comes in with a 7-7 record but more telling he has pitched in 20 games and the cards are 8-12 in those game. He has throw 9 of those games at Busch, where the game is being played tonight, and has recorded a very modest 5-4 record. On the flip side Zimmerman comes in with a 12-8 record but the nats are 21-11 when he starts and an astounding 11-5 when he starts on the road.

The value here is undeniable and to get the Nationals at -110 is an absolute steal.

good luck to all
