Friday Strictly by the numbers

[Clem D]

Americas line has Friday up and I'm ready to hit a few.

Since it's a short card I will run down all the games based on my numbers.

Penn layin 16 at home to Columbia. I think this is too high. Penn coming off a tough Ot game against Princeton and Columbia is much improved. They will keep it close. Penn has pretty big guard advantage but that is about it. Think Columbia throws a scare into Penn. My numbers tell me to only lay 7 with Penn

200

Yale -11 over against Dartmouth
I won't play this game but Think the line should only be 7 fwiw Yale is a little deeper but dartmouth returns all 5 starters off that bad team a year ago.
no play

Brown at home laying 7 to harvard.
I made the line 9 and I will play this game as Brown has an enormous edge in the backcourt. Harvard returns all 5 off their worst team since Christ left the Jews.Brown is deeper also.

300

Princeton -13.5 over Cornell. I think this line should be about 9. Princeton coming off the war against Penn that they should have won, they have slight edges in all aspects of the game, but I think they are fatigued. Still No play.

St peters minus 8.5 over canisius

Think this line should be 12. Guard play is better and Canisius is thin and does not travel well. I'll watch the first click and see where the money goes.

Manhattan laying 5 against Rider.

Tough Game. Manhattan got spanked by Rider in jersey but manhattan benched two of its starters for the game. Rider is a better team imo. better guards more experience depth. Manhattan has better coach. Manhattan getting home after 3 brutal road losses. Gonzalez will have them playing Hard. My power ratings favor Manhattan by 4 if I were to play the game Id take Rider but for now it is a pass.

Thanks for the feedback

Wondering where that came from, if anyone knows or gets it clue me in. God knows I like a good ribbing and can give one too.

this one could be an over play,..the crimson couldnt stop a girls jr high field hockey team from scoring on them

SUPERBEAR, who do you pk in the harvard game ? like your stats.

 

[hawkeye]

[tubbysmith]

good luck clem.

 

[Clem D]

Thanks boys. Im working on this Manhattan Rider game. It is a very intriguing marchup. I wiill have a play on it before 5.

The line has moved to 5 from 4.5 the Jaspers are a young team with only 2 seniors in the lineup they have been away from there home court 6 out of the last 7 games. These kids in my opinion will not let Rider come in to there domain and treat them like bitches as they did in Jersey! Manhattan takes this by 9-15 points Peace ************** Dicky V

I am a greatful recovering Manhattan Bettor !!!!!

Manhattan is a little mystery because we don't know what those guys are doing on any given night. Apparently those two starters got benched the last time versus Rider for a pub altercation.
Manhattan College is in the North Bronx and there are myriads of Pubs around there.

How's that for full blown alcoholism. Maybe Mr. Peter Mulligan will have the "HORRORS" tonite..you just never know. Maybe he will be trying to hock his typewriter on a pawn shop holiday. :scared :mj14:

they got crunched by Loyola Md. Greyhounds on Super Sunday. Makes ya wonder ?

Manhattan -2.5
for a nickle.

Rider averages 31.1 points on the road in the first half. Manhattan allows 29 at home. So Rider should score 30.

Manhattan at home in the first half scores 37.6.
Rider on the road allows 34.9 . So The jaspers should score 36.

That is just numbers. Now if I factor in that Bobby G will have his boys cranked up huge out of the gate last night after their 3 horrible road games, I think you will see Manhattan defense force alot of turnovers from Rider in the first half and get out to a maybe a 15-4 lead out of the gate. Desperation is a mother****er and while Manhattan is young they are desperate and they are looking to exact some revenge from the shorthanded ass whooping they took at Rider. I think the jaspers will go into the lockeroom up between 5 and 10 at the half.

I think rider is more talented and may sneak out the backdoor cover for the game, but this first half is solid.
