LOL. . .really like a few decided underdogs for Thursday:
Loyola Maryland +17 over Siena:
Siena will have to hit around 48%+ in order to cover this spread IMO. They average 41%. . . I'll take my chances with two very poor offenses. First meeting went to Siena by six after two overtimes. Always gotta like backdoor chances as well with these kind of lines.
Idaho +17 over Cal Irvine:
Irvine crushed this team by 38 at Idaho. . . so why am I willing to take only 17 for the rematch at Irvine? Well, the Anteaters USUALLY play down to their competition. . . especially double digit road dogs. Give me the points and lets see what happens.
Washington +14.5 over Arizona:
Look, I love the Wildcats, but this team should not be laying 14.5 to anybody in the Pac. . . despite how Washington has looked so far this season, they always play the Cats tough. . . especially at McKale. While I will not play against my team, I HIGHLY reccommend a play on the Huskies in this one.
Washington St. +14 over Arizona St:
Of the four, this is the only one I really question. . . perhaps BGold can add something with his Pac 10 post but I believe this is simply too many points once again. . . especially for a Thursday game when both Arizona schools have to play the other Washington school on Saturday. Both Washington schools are horrible, but may hang in against two overachieving Arizona schools.
Couple other leans:
Hawaii +3 over SMU. . . The Bows are still looking for national respect and close to the Top 25. . . I expect a close game with either team capable of winning the game and 3 points will be huge. I also expect the traveling to affect Hawaii more so for the Saturday game as opposed to the Thursday game.
Still looking into other games. .
