    Cubs/Pirates Under

    The ones I really feel good about are few and far between, but this is one of them. Couldn't believe it when I saw that the total on this was 12! Zambrano is still not very well known across the country, but he will be soon. Right now he is probably the Cubs most consistent starter. Only...

    Murray St. developing story

    http://www.wpsdtv.com/articles/stories/public/200403/14/00pu_local_news.html Who knows if anything will be resolved by Thursday/Friday but this could potentially be quite meaningful. At the very least, it will be a distraction this week.

    Charlotte/UAB

    Really like Charlotte in this spot. Don't have the numbers to support it, but intuitively at this point in the tourney I think it's an advantage that Charlotte just played yesterday. They have the benefit of being used to the court and that should help them get off to a strong start. Also...

    Gonzaga/San Diego Too may points?

    OK, so I just can't help myself. Gonzaga is laying 32 frickin' points to San Diego!!!! :eek: Am I the only one who sees that as way too many points this late in the season? Wouldn't you think that the motivation for Gonzaga would be to rest up their players once they have the game well in...

    Syracuse/Nova Total

    Looking for some thoughts on this, but 145 seems about 5 points too high to me. Both teams play pretty solid D; with Nova holding opponents to 39.3% overall on the road (a scant 27.9% from behind the arc) while 'Cuse holds opponents to 40.1% overall (31.6% from 3) at home. Just can't see both...

    Hey Hellah and MAC guys, do you like Ball St. tonight?

    Haven't actually seen hardly any MAC games this year, but just looking at the numbers, namely the home and away records (SU and ATS), as well as the home/away stats and stats over the last 5 games; it seems that Ball St. is in prime position to get the home win over Miami/Ohio tonight. Any...

    AFC Playoff teams Vs. NFC Playoff teams - Interesting Result

    Big Tease has some good comments about this line being way too high for a neutral field. And if you look at the raw statistical numbers, there is no way that a 7 point line is justified. So why is it so high? I think that Vegas is flat out saying that the AFC is just better than the NFC this...

    Loyola Maryland ML . . .why the hell not?

    Why back an 0-13 team SU? Because they're playing a 3-10 team that's 1-5 on the road and has lost 10 straight overall. The statistics are never going to be in your favor when you take a 7.5 point underdog SU, but basically what you have here is 2 bad teams; one that can't win on the road, and...

    Fri: New Mex -8 1H

    Really like New Mexico to be up by double digits at half time here. First, overall New Mex is 8-2 at home while Cornell is 1-4 on the road. Second, New Mex has not trailed a home game at halftime yet this year, and they've been up by more than 8 in every game except two (there first two home...

    Don't understand backing the Chargers

    I keep reading that the Dolphins are the public play, yet everyone in here seems to be on the Chargers and I just don't understand it. It is very easy to see why the Dolphins lost to the Pats last week. Miami's strengths are it's run game and rush-D. It's weakness it it's pass-d. So, lo and...

    Garciaparra's error

    I'm at work and only saw it on the gamecast, but are the Red Sox trying to out-curse the Cubs?

    Cubs/Braves Total

    This is a real interesting one to cap. Some of the Cubs have had some real good success against Hampton: Grudz has absolutely killed him (15/37 .405 2 2B 1 HR) and Moises has done well too (8/21 .381 1 2B 1 HR). Sosa hasn't hit for great average but has a lot of power against him (13/52 .250...

    Lay the wood on Illinois!!!

    OK, call this a homer play or whatever but I'm loving Illinois -14.5. These teams met 2 weeks ago at the same neutral site with Illinois coming up with a 12 point victory as a 15 point fav. If you watched that game Illinois was absolutely trouncing Northwestern and then let them back in the...

    Info wanted on C of C

    I know that the Southern conference tourney is being played in Charleston, but does that mean that it's on College of Charleston's home court? I like C of C laying 3.5 to E. Tennessee St. but will absolutely love it if C of C is at home.

    Indiana/Illinois . . .at least 1 out of 2

    Here's what I'm thinking for the Illini game. I always like Illinois giving less than double digits at home, as they are just a completely different team. However, after watching what Tex Tech pulled off last night I'm leary to lay the 7.5 against a team that is fighting for their tourney...

    BYU/Utah total

    Total is currently at 128.5. This seems at least 4-5 points too low. Earlier this year when these 2 teams met at BYU, total hit 154 (Utah W 79-75). Also, here are the teams' scoring stats: Overall Stats Offense For BYU 72.8 Utah 68.0 Defense Against BYU 63.8...

    7 P.M. ET ESPN game

    The 7 o'clock game on ESPN is supposed to be Pitt-G'Town, which obviously isn't going to happen. Anybody know if they're going to broadcast a different game or just do another ESPN Classic game like they did this afternoon?
